Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty One – Opportunity (1/2)
Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty One – Opportunity
“Xiao Ru Jian, He Zi, and An Hai are dead, killed by others.” Tan Xu’s voice was indifferent as though he was speaking about a matter not related to him at all.
“What happened? They seemed to have been planning something, did something happen?” Nie Chen frowned.
“They had been scheming about an ancient octopus on the Black Sea Flight Route.” The female xiu who spoke had a beautiful appearance, but her expression was frosty. She was the famous ice queen of Kun Lun, Zhen Meng Ling. Many of Kun Lun’s male disciples were in love with her. She wasn’t just an outstanding beauty, she was exceptionally talented, and hardworking on her cultivation. Her progress was so rapid it caused countless males to feel ashamed, and no one dared to confess to her.
Tan Xu’s brow didn’t even flicker. He said coolly, “They died on the hands of others, hmph, they did not have enough skill. Die if they want to, but do not shame Kun Lun!”
Nie Cheng frowned slightly. He was displeased with Tan Xu’s attitude, but he also knew Tan Xu’s personality.
Tan Xu was reclusive and strange, not welcomed among the disciples. Nie Cheng was the opposite. His appearance could not be said to be handsome, yet he had a lively presence. While he was strong, he was friendly towards the other disciples and deeply popular with them. Also, he was on good terms with Lin Qian. As Lin Qian was in charge of Kun Lun at present, his status had risen as well.
He said, “Ru Jian Shidi is not bad in strength, and has a cautious personality. If he acts, he most likely has properly prepared. He Zi and An Hai are average in strength, but they are definitely experts in the outside world. He Shimei also has the Circular Fiend Sword Formation from Xu Shishu. An Hai has Wu Shishu’s Hundred Yin Soul Destroying Sword Pill. Unless the enemy is too strong, how can they die at the hands of others?”
He saw that Zhen Ling Ming and Tan Xu were not interested in this matter and did not bring it up again. Their mission this time was difficult, and everyone was under great pressure.
They had to obtain the shen device nucleus of the ancient ruins. Kun Lun had many eyes and ears everywhere. When the ruins were just discovered, Kun Lun received the news. After that, Kun Lun started to use its power to divine, and search for clues.
When other people were still uncertain about what was inside the ruins, Kun Lun had already divined that there was a shen device nucleus there. All kinds of high level forces continued to infiltrate the Nine Great Dhyana Sect territories. Their intelligence network was also activated, and they schemed to obtain a token.
Nie Chen and the other two were some of the most accomplished disciples of the newest generation of Kun Lun. They had not been talented before, but after cultivating shen power, they had risen up and became stronger by the day.
In the last few years, as they cultivated the new shen power, under the full support of the older generation, Kun Lun had a wave of disciples that were outstandingly talented and had strong shen power. This batch of disciples were all talented. In order to create a wave of experts, Kun Lun had invested greatly in them. They were also hardworking and determined, not failing to live up to Kun Lun’s hopes and grew up quickly.
This group of disciples had a name inside of Kun Lun, they were called the Children of Kun Lun.
Each Child of Kun Lun had unique power within Kun Lun. They had the best support, the best treatment, they were directly under Kun Lun’s command.
Every Child of Kun Lun had unfathomable power.
Outstanding power and great resources combined with Kun Lun’s determined and persistent attitude had created this new wave of powerful disciples. Child of Kun Lun was synonymous with strength. They were the top fighting force in all of Kun Lun. They were unquestionably loyal to Kun Lun. They had self-control and worked hard, they were emotionless and cold. They appeared at the most dangerous missions. They were the idols that all Kun Lun disciples revered.
Ever since the Children of Kun Lun were founded, this mission was the first time three Children of Kun Lun were sent out together. From this, Kun Lun’s desire for the shen device nucleus could be seen.
“I’m going to cultivate.” Tan Xu threw down before leaving.
Zhen Ling Meng also left without a word. Nie Chen was left alone to grimace helplessly to himself.

“Lotus Sutra Temple is up ahead.” The steward had an expression of joy. It really was a blessing from the heavens that they had safely survived the Black Sea Flight Route.
The Lotus Sutra Temple honored the lotus flower and all kinds of lotus flowers could be seen all along the route. They were exquisite and elegant. However, other than Zong Ru who would admire them, the other people didn’t even look at them. Everyone looked warily at the surroundings.
They had already detected several groups of dangerous presences, they were brushing shoulders with powerful enemies.
To make them feel danger like this meant they were strong.
At the beginning of any new era, there were always many geniuses. Mo Cloud Sea improved by the day, and the others were not willing to fall behind. Even Wei Sheng felt slightly wary of the power of the people just now.
It seemed that the temptation of the shen device nucleus surpassed his imagination.
Zuo Mo stood at the front of the ship as his heart trembled. His eyes were experienced. Just now, he even saw mo and yao. This surprised him.
However, when he thought about it, he understood. The shen device raiment was a great weapon of strategic value to any power. If there was even the slightest chance, no one would be willing to give it up.
Suddenly, a Dhyana xiu dressed in white robes with lotus flowers on the sleeve flew towards them.
The entire fleet went on guard.
The other seemed to not see their wary gazes and bowed. Then he said, “Guest from Mo Cloud Sea, my master invites you.”
Zuo Mo’s eyelid flickered. The other knew their origins!
He did not admit or refute it. He examined the other for a while before speaking, “You are from Lotus Sutra Temple?”
The other smiled. “This one is the White Lotus Reverend of Lotus Sutra Temple.”
The steward’s expression changed. Lao De Guang’s face turned ashen. He carefully made his way beside Zuo Mo and said in a low voice, “There are four reverends in Lotus Sutra Temple: Blue, Red, White, Black. The four lotus reverends have a high position in the sect just below the sect leader.”
The master of the White Lotus Reverend? Then that referred to the sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple.
Zuo Mo immediately realized that his journey had been exposed. He did not try to hide it and said with a smile, “Please lead the way.”
Under the guidance of the White Lotus Reverend, they came to a non-descript place.
As expected, it was the sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple!
The Nine Great Dhyana Sect had always been targets that Mo Cloud Sea paid attention to. Zuo Mo could recognize the sect leaders of all of the Nine Great Dhyana Sects.
When Zuo Mo’s gaze landed on a young person next to the sect leader of Lotus Sutra Temple, his gaze suddenly focused.
