Before Liu Hong could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party saying, "Shh, this matter is confidential and must not be leaked."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong quickly fell silent, though his expression was full of joy.

At this moment, Chu Chen was observing the surrounding situation. There were over a thousand Beast Masters in the valley, all wearing the attire of the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, indicating they were allies.

The person talking with Liu Hong was a burly middle-aged man, with bronze-colored skin, a firm face, sharp eyes, exuding a strong masculine aura.

Chu Chen asked Long Yunxiao beside him in a low voice, "Who is this person?"

Long Batian responded in a low voice, "This is Elder Ying Wenjie. He is the confidant of the Hall Master and has the authority to mobilize the Daoist Soldiers. His strength is formidable, reportedly reaching the Late Stage of Emperor Level. Although many don't know his real name, his nickname is quite famous."

Chu Chen, hearing this, became interested and couldn't help asking, "What is Elder Ying's nickname?"

Long Yunxiao replied softly, "Shadow Demon."

"Shadow Demon? Why is he called that nickname?"

Long Yunxiao pondered for a moment before replying softly, "There's no harm in telling you; you'll know eventually. Elder Ying's Guardian Beast is a Shadow Demon, with incredible strength. Countless experts have perished by its hands, but that's not all. It excels at assassination, and many experts have been killed without even seeing its shadow."

Chu Chen was astonished upon hearing this. Such assassination ability was terrifying. If one had such an enemy, it would be difficult to find peace. No wonder his nickname was so renowned.

Long Yunxiao reminded him again, "This mission might not be so simple; be extra cautious when executing the task."

Chu Chen patted Long Yunxiao's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, I'm quite careful with my life. By the way, what are the Daoist Soldiers you mentioned?"

Long Yunxiao replied softly, "Daoist Soldiers are the Daoist School's soldiers, geniuses cultivated by the school. Those who have made contributions or have extraordinary potential are appointed to work in various city branches of the Daoist School, some even becoming branch leaders directly."

Chu Chen then realized, understanding that this was essentially the Daoist School's selection system. Those with potential and capability naturally get promoted.

A moment later, Ying Wenjie gestured to the Daoist Soldiers behind him, saying, "Let's go." He then summoned his Guardian Beast.

A mass of black mist appeared before Ying Wenjie, into which he stepped directly.

Everyone else viewed this and summoned their respective Guardian Beasts.

Chu Chen looked at the black mist with astonishment.

He hurriedly summoned the Slaughter Atlas to examine it.

Star Beast Name: Shadow Demon

Star Beast Quality: Legendary Level

Star Beast Talent: Transformation

Star Beast Level: Emperor Seventh Rank

Power Talent: S-level

Defense Talent: A+ Level

Star Beast Skills: Shadow Whip (Ordinary Level, Perfection Realm), Shadow Stab (Elite Level, Perfection Realm), Hidden Shadow (Elite Level, Perfection Realm), Shadow Escape (Excellence Level, Perfection Realm), Shadow Strangulation (Perfect Level, Perfection Realm)

Chu Chen was shocked upon seeing this. The Shadow Demon was an extremely rare Elemental Life, with a dark attribute, no wonder its assassination ability was so terrifying.

After flying for half an hour, Ying Wenjie suddenly stopped. He pointed down to the forest below and said, "Rest here for a while; I'll be back soon." With that, Shadow Demon turned into a black shadow and merged into the treetop below, vanishing.

Liu Hong took over the command, saying, "Everyone, go down and rest. No noise is allowed."

Everyone hid under the shade, daring not to make any sound.

This state lasted for half an hour.

A black shadow suddenly appeared among the crowd, eliciting gasps as everyone was clearly startled.

At this time, Ying Wenjie emerged from the shadow.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Wenjie ignored their embarrassed looks, speaking solemnly, "The target is ten kilometers ahead; I've cleared all the sentries along the way. Commander Zhang, assign the fighting tasks. No matter the method, don't let anyone escape. Catch them alive if you can, otherwise, kill them directly."

"Yes," responded a dark-skinned man loudly.

Soon, Chu Chen and others were also assigned combat tasks, with the task to follow the third squad to block the path.

Only then did everyone understand the task's nature.

This mission aimed to dismantle the Blood Demon Hall of the Blood God Sect.

Seeing the task assignments done, Ying Wenjie immediately issued the command.

"Go." He said it and took the lead flying towards a distant location.

Inside the Blood Demon Hall, a man wearing a Blood Robe was drinking and chatting with several Blood God Sect followers.

"I paid a hefty price for this wine. I'll head to the restroom; remember to save some for me."

"Hahaha, don't worry; you hurry up, we'll save it for you."

The Blood Robe man had just left when the sound of breaking wine bowls came from behind.

The Blood Robe man immediately turned back and started searching the others.

He took out a blood-colored token from the Space Belt of a burly man.

With the token in hand, the man looked delighted. He quickly approached a stone door, inserting the token into a slot.

The stone door opened slowly; after checking the surroundings for danger, he rushed inside.

This place featured complex runes, at the center of the stone chamber was a large transmission array.

Seeing this, the Blood Robe man was overjoyed, quickly approaching the Teleportation Array, summoning a Blood Beast, and began destroying the Teleportation Array.

With a series of muffled "boom boom" sounds, the array shattered instantly.

The Blood Robe man had already escaped far away, pulling out a Communication Bracelet to send a message.

At this moment, Elder Ying's Communication Bracelet vibrated suddenly, and he quickly checked it.

A moment later, he raised his head, shouting, "Attack."

As his voice fell, Commander Zhang ordered, "Everyone move to battle positions. Team 1 is responsible for the main assault, Team 2 for aerial territory, Team 3 for covering roads. Remember, don't let anyone escape."

The team leaders immediately led everyone to their battle positions.

Chu Chen and seven others were led to the foot of a mountain, above which was a hundred-foot-tall cliff.

Seeing this, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly; there was no need to block the path here as there was no road to begin with.

Long Yunxiao, seeing this, said somewhat displeased, "Looks like we're getting special treatment."

The others nodded in agreement.

However, their expressions differed; some were pleased, others were worried.

Sun Mengqi and Li Wanyi are both girls, and they don't like violence. Now without having to fight, they naturally were pleased.

On the other hand, Wang Lei and others appeared more worried. They had only fought a few times in the past two months, which was torturous for them.

They thought they could finally battle fiercely, but they ended up getting special treatment, which frustrated them.

The group looking at the cliff felt relaxed, without the usual pre-battle tension.

"Does anyone know about the Blood God Sect? What is the situation with this Blood Demon Hall, what is their strength like?" Wang Lei asked with a smile.

Chu Chen and the others shook their heads, but they turned their gaze to Long Yunxiao.

Long Yunxiao sighed, saying, "Actually, I don't know much either. The Blood God Sect comprises the Main Sect, Nine Halls, twenty-seven Sub-Branches, and hundreds of small Sub-Sects, all hidden in urban corners. Except for the Main Sect, the Nine Halls are the strongest. The Hall Masters of these Nine Halls are said to be Emperor-level experts, with numerous King-level subordinates."

Everyone heard this and nodded in thought.

"I didn't think the Blood God Sect was so strong, but our preparations should ensure their complete annihilation." Wang Lei said lightly.

"You're oversimplifying. Blood Beasts are much stronger than ordinary Star Beasts and have terrifying recovery capabilities, growing faster than Guardian Beasts of the same quality. It's prudent to be cautious." Long Yunxiao said seriously.

Wang Lei scratched his head, saying, "I understand."
