Chapter 529 Peer Into Human Hearts

The Heavenly Master turned his head and thrust the map into Chen Yu’s hands.

“Young man, it seems the future of our Daoist sect rests in your hands.”

Chen Yu’s face was full of frustration. It was just about exterminating a minor sect, why had everyone else given up?

He subconsciously extended his system’s overlay.

Although many people on the mountain were supernaturally gifted, most Sect Leaders were just ordinary people, and scanning their brain information was quite easy.

“Who would have thought that after so many years, the test is still the same, clearly not wanting us to become helmsmen.”

“That place is incredibly dangerous, whoever goes dies!”

“The southern border is rife with poisonous miasmas; who would be foolish enough to risk their life for the position of helmsman?”

“Divine Eagle Sect is not to be trifled with; their Sect Leader has killed who knows how many of our Daoist Sect Leaders?”

…

Chen Yu suddenly understood why the Heavenly Master had agreed so readily to release the test; it turned out that no one dared to go.

Jing Shan, who had been standing by the side, stepped forward and presented a kirin seal.

“Sect Leader Chen, this is the helmsman’s seal. If you can complete the mission within a month, this seal will be yours!”

Chen Yu was extremely frustrated; this was absolutely like forcing a duck onto a perch.

Just as he was considering how to refuse, the Heavenly Master and all the Daoist elders suddenly knelt down.

“Young man, Divine Eagle Sect is the greatest cancer in this world, even more detestable than the Knights of the Round Table. The Daoist sect has long wished to eradicate them, but we can’t even get into the outskirts of their town.”

A look of doubt crossed Chen Yu’s face.

“That’s impossible! With all the experts among the Daoists, how can they not break through a mere small town?”

The Heavenly Master sighed helplessly.

“That place is protected by a Formation, and with the local favorable conditions, a poison gas is released. Anyone who enters the town falls into the Illusory Realm. If they can’t break through that layer of illusion, they can only wait for death!”

Chen Yu took a moment to regulate his breathing. His physical constitution had already surpassed human limits by twice, and something like poison gas couldn’t hurt him at all.

Truth be told, he really was the prime candidate for this task.

Looking at the kneeling Heavenly Masters before him, Chen Yu was moved by compassion. If he didn’t agree now, these old men might well kneel to death right here.

“Alright then, I agree. I’ll set out after I’ve made arrangements for my wife and children.”

The Heavenly Master stood up excitedly, grabbing Chen Yu’s arm.

“There’s no time! You must depart as soon as possible. As for your wife and children, we’ll arrange things for them.”

No sooner had his words fallen than a helicopter descended from the sky, landing in the plaza.

Chen Yu suddenly felt he had been bamboozled, as if everything had been prearranged.

But at this point, it would be hard to refuse, so he could only board the aircraft.

Sacred Mountain was already situated in the south, not far from the southern rivers.

The helicopter was in the southern border in less than three hours, but as it hovered over a small town, the helicopter suddenly stopped.

“Sect Leader Chen, there’s no place to land below, so you’ll have to trouble yourself to jump down from here!”

Chen Yu immediately wanted to curse; from such a height, even someone trained in dance from a young age would crash terribly.

“What do you mean by this? Are you trying to get me killed?”

The pilot grinned, chuckling twice.
