Nine Realms Sword Emperor

Chapter 1955: Chapter 1958: Mission—Finding Someone

When Chu Fengmian arrived at the Hai Ji Sect, he realized that the sect’s power was even more terrifying than the rumors.

With his current strength, facing the entire Hai Ji Sect was like a mayfly shaking a tree, utterly beyond his capability.

"To deal with Lan Ming, I absolutely can’t do it alone. I must find an ally."

Chu Fengmian’s eyes flickered.

Relying on himself to handle Lan Ming, Chu Fengmian didn’t have that confidence. With a flick of his palm, a Jade Talisman appeared in Chu Fengmian’s hand.

This Jade Talisman represented Chu Fengmian’s identity as the Dragon Lord of Canglong Sect.

Infusing it with a surge of Spiritual Power, Chu Fengmian immediately transmitted a message to Mad Dragon Emperor, asking him to come to Canglong Star Domain.

Chu Fengmian attempting to kill Lan Ming alone was a near-death mission, but this time, he could find a helping hand, someone like Mad Dragon Emperor, a true Heavenly Human Realm expert.

As long as Lan Ming could be lured out of the Hai Ji Sect, Chu Fengmian could make his move.

With Chu Fengmian’s strength, plus the aid of Mad Dragon Emperor, he had absolute confidence in killing Lan Ming.

Soon, the Jade Talisman in Chu Fengmian’s hand lit up again; Mad Dragon Emperor had agreed to come to Canghai Star Domain.

With the strength of Mad Dragon Emperor, he could reach Canghai Star Domain within three days.

During this time, Mad Dragon Emperor had been cultivating within Canglong Sect, stabilizing his Realm, familiarizing himself with his power. Once attuned to the power of the Heavenly Human Realm, Mad Dragon Emperor’s strength could go even further.

When Mad Dragon Emperor arrives, that will be Chu Fengmian’s opportunity to strike.

"This cave dwelling is fairly secluded. Without Lan Ming’s insight, I could perhaps meditate on the Sword Dao Totem."

Chu Fengmian’s eyes glistened as he pulled out the Sword Dao Totem obtained from Hai Jian Sect to study it carefully.

But at that moment, the Jade Talisman on Chu Fengmian’s chest suddenly began to shine.

From it came the voice of Wuju, calling Chu Fengmian to a gathering place on Sacrificial Island for a task.

"Let’s go see what it is."

Chu Fengmian hadn’t expected a task to come so soon.

Originally, he wanted to first meditate on the Sword Dao Totem, to incorporate its various swordsmanship into the Sword Dao Ancient Books, enhancing Chu Fengmian’s power.

This would give him more assurance in facing Lan Ming.

However, now that Chu Fengmian had infiltrated Sacrificial Island, he couldn’t afford to reveal any flaws. He quickly put away the Sword Dao Totem and flew out of the palace.

Following Wuju’s instructions, Chu Fengmian turned into Tunneling Light and arrived at the plaza in the center of Sacrificial Island.

In this plaza, there were already many martial artist demon gods gathered, numbering in the hundreds.

Chu Fengmian glanced around and saw Sacrificial Pavilion disciples, as well as many deacons, protectors, etc.

Seeing so many people, Chu Fengmian sighed in relief.

It seemed it was not because Chu Fengmian’s identity had been exposed but that Sacrificial Pavilion truly had a task.

Chu Fengmian’s tunneling light descended onto the plaza. Thanks to his status as a protector of Sacrificial Pavilion, some disciples made way for him to stand there.

"Hmm? Who is that?"

"When did we, Sacrificial Pavilion, gain a new protector?"

"It’s said that this person was the most formidable in the recent disciple recruitment assembly and was directly absorbed into Sacrificial Pavilion as a protector."

"Oh? Is it him? It’s said that he killed Cang Lang with a single move."

"Killed Cang Lang with one move? Such a formidable person? But he looks quite ordinary, could he really possess such power?"

"That’s how the news spread, the exact details, I am unsure."

Some disciples of Sacrificial Pavilion, unfamiliar with Chu Fengmian’s appearance, murmured among themselves, but some information had already leaked, revealing Chu Fengmian’s identity to them.

Cang Lang was considered a dazzling presence among the seed disciples of Hai Ji Sect, on the verge of becoming a Core Disciple, and yet Chu Fengmian had killed him with one move.

This gave Chu Fengmian some fame.

However, the disciples of Sacrificial Pavilion, being the geniuses from Hai Ji Sect, looked at Chu Fengmian without much respect. Many were actually eager to challenge him, to see if Chu Fengmian’s reputation was genuine or not.

Chu Fengmian felt the various gazes but didn’t bother to react, standing there like a wooden figure, ignoring any provocations.

"Everyone is here."

A cold voice echoed as an arrogant figure descended—it was Wuju.

"Greetings, Protector Wuju."

Around him, the disciples of Sacrificial Pavilion greeted Wuju respectfully upon his arrival.

Protectors in Hai Ji Sect held a status only below elders, but even among Protectors, there were significant gaps in their standing.

Like Chu Fengmian, although a protector of Sacrificial Pavilion, the disciples didn’t care about him.

Because Chu Fengmian hadn’t demonstrated any power, they believed a protector like him was inferior even to some seed disciples.

Wuju, however, was one of the strongest protectors of Hai Ji Sect, known for his strength, and thus treated with great respect.

"This time, under Lord Lan Ming’s order, I will lead you to the Shattered Islands to find someone. Whoever finds this person will receive Lord Lan Ming’s reward, maybe even become his disciple."

Wuju scanned the crowd and spoke.

"Find someone?"

"So many of us, just to find one person?"

"And to receive Lord Lan Ming’s reward, be made his disciple? Such significant benefits?"

"Who are we supposed to find?"

Hearing Wuju’s words, some Sacrificial Pavilion disciples were surprised, having expected this gathering of so many Sacrificial Pavilion disciples, deacons, and protectors to be for a major task.

But it turned out it was merely to find someone.

Only Chu Fengmian’s expression slightly changed upon hearing the words ’Shattered Islands.’

When parting ways with Sea Princess, she had given Chu Fengmian a Jade Talisman, through which Chu Fengmian could know her location.

Previously, Chu Fengmian had checked once, and Sea Princess was in the Shattered Islands.

Thinking about Sacrificial Pavilion’s grand mobilization to the Shattered Islands to find one person,

it’s likely the person they seek is Sea Princess.

If Lan Ming truly discovered Sea Princess, that would be trouble.

Chu Fengmian was greatly shocked inside but soon calmed his expression, silently listening to Wuju.
