Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

The other nine missions were all escorted by powerful Jindan cultivators, but the Wolf Pack was an exception. Their destination was not only thousands of miles away, but also deep inside enemy territory, at the border between good and evil. It was an enemy logistics center, staffed by approximately thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators and a mid-Jindan leader. This time, the Wolf Pack was fighting alone, without reinforcements or Jindan masters to contain the enemy; they had to rely on themselves.

"Commander Lu, aren't we being too harsh on the wolves? This is tantamount to committing suicide." Wu Chang couldn't bear it and advised worriedly.

"When Heaven bestows great responsibility upon a man, it first tests his will and endurance! Chief of Staff Wu, proceed with your orders. I'll have my own considerations," Lu En said calmly, without a trace of emotion. He was one of the few people who knew Liu Xing's identity; even Wu Chang was unaware. A dragon's growth cannot be nurtured like a kitten or puppy; it must be tempered beyond the ordinary.

"Yes." Wu Chang could only obey orders, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He was worried that Liu Xing might have offended Commander Lu in the past and was being deliberately targeted. If it was just an ordinary person, he wouldn't care, and he wouldn't even hesitate to do Lu En a favor. It's just that the wolf pack's performance was too good, and Liu Xing's performance was too good, so he was attracted to their talents. He couldn't do anything now, and could only remind Liu Xing to take care of himself when issuing the mission. He now felt a little regretful that when approving military supplies, he should have given more to the wolf pack so that they would have an easier time in the future.

Lu En didn't care about Wu Chang's complicated thoughts. He was thinking about the real purpose of the Hehuan Sect in launching this war.

When Liu Xingjie received the mission from headquarters, he didn't think much of it, assuming it was just another raid like everyone else's. He summoned the wolf pack for a military meeting. His work habits were to plan carefully before acting and to be thoroughly prepared. His leadership style was to pool ideas and fully mobilize his teammates' initiative.

"One of the difficulties of this mission is the long-distance raid. We have to cross multiple enemy defense zones. It is difficult to reach the destination quietly, and now there is a time limit. We are required to reach the target area within fifteen days, and then a hundred teams will launch an attack at the same time. Only in this way can the enemy be caught off guard and we can catch them off guard." Lang Jiu was the first to express his concerns.

"We are traveling at full speed, without sleep or rest, and we can fly 800 miles a day, and that's without sparing any mana. There can't be any delays on the road, but we must spend an hour every day to stop and meditate to restore our mana." Lang Ba also looked anxious.

"I have a speedboat here that can easily travel 800 miles a day. It's powered by spirit stones and doesn't consume the boat's mana. It can carry three people. I have a dragon mount myself that can travel a thousand miles a day." Liu Xing waved his hand, and the speedboat enlarged and landed before them. The speedboat, by the way, had originated from Taoist Chongxu in the Southern District. It was now playing a valuable role in the Southern District's war between good and evil, and it was well worth the money.

"We don't have such a top-grade flying magic weapon. How are the remaining six people going to reach our destination?" said Wolf Seven.

"I have an idea. We can take turns riding the boat. Others can fly at full speed along with the boat, and when they run out of mana, they can get on the boat to recover. In this way, everyone can keep traveling at full speed." Wolf Four still showed her calmness and wisdom.

"That's a good idea." Everyone's eyes lit up. In theory, this could indeed solve the problem of traveling in a hurry.

Next, the wolves began to study their route, forcing them to weave through the enemy's defenses. If they were discovered and engaged in combat, they would be delayed and would certainly not reach their destination. Alternatively, if their whereabouts were discovered, they would be pursued along the way, preventing them from reaching their destination, and even if they did reach it, they would be exposed.

After repeated discussions, they finally decided on a relatively reliable route. The wolves then set off without wasting any more time.

Along the way, Liu Xing led the way, but he kept pace with everyone else. Since Jiao Jiao wasn't using all his strength, he was able to recover as he flew, making the journey relatively easy. The others, using the speedboat as a recovery platform, were constantly striving to get further ahead.

Liu Xing's powerful spiritual awareness played a huge role at this moment, always able to detect the enemy's presence in advance, allowing the wolf pack to avoid any possible encounters. Every time they encountered a place with people, Liu Xing would lead them to slightly adjust their route to avoid danger, thus passing through without any danger. The wolves thought they had incredible luck and were delighted. Of course, they didn't know that this was all due to Liu Xing's advance knowledge of the enemy situation.

"Retreat quickly!" Liu Xing, who was leading the team in the front, suddenly asked everyone to retreat as quickly as possible. The wolves didn't understand why, but they had regarded obeying orders as their own lives during this period, so they executed them without hesitation.

"Hide!" After retreating fifty miles to the side and rear, Liu Xing hastily arranged a concealing formation and led everyone into hiding. The wolves stared at Liu Xing nervously, holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"Strange, why do I feel like I'm being watched?" Just as Liu Xing ordered a retreat, a demonic master at the peak of the early Jindan stage, about thirty miles away, was galloping towards the wolves. He vaguely sensed a faint spiritual sense sweeping past like a breeze, almost imperceptible. To be on the safe side, he immediately stopped and released his powerful spiritual sense, covering an area of ​​over twenty miles in radius, carefully exploring.

However, the wolves had already retreated at a rapid speed. Liu Xing led the team, controlling the direction, while Wolf One stayed behind to disperse the spiritual energy fluctuations and clear any traces. All of this was done with a clear division of labor and seamless coordination.

After searching several times, the Jindan demon cultivator found nothing and shook his head, thinking he was just being overly sensitive. However, he soon let it go. During wartime, who wouldn't be nervous?

A full quarter of an hour passed before Liu Xing led the wolf pack on its way. He avoided any possible encounters and sped towards his target.

The wolves noticed that Liu Xing had suddenly moved them back and forth, sideways, and forwards several times. Although they didn't sense anything, they believed that the War Wolf wouldn't act without purpose and play tricks on them. There was only one reason for this: the War Wolf always sensed danger first, which showed that its spiritual sense was indeed superior to theirs.

The wolf pack was forced to reassess their captain, Liu Xing. His strength instilled in them a deep trust and awe. Liu Xing was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, the lowest of the group, while the others were all at the peak of the late stage. Yet, in terms of mana, physical strength, and spiritual awareness, Liu Xing surpassed everyone else, forcing them to admit defeat. Even more terrifying was Liu Xing's combat prowess, leaving them far behind. In previous counterattacks, Liu Xing had been the most efficient at killing the enemy. And this was only what they could see; the extent of his unseen backhand plan remained unknown to the group.
