Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 880 - 880 79 The New Team of Five

Chapter 880: Chapter 79: The New Team of Five Chapter 880: Chapter 79: The New Team of Five Old Li came over this time, took a look around, and then went back.

Although he didn’t say anything, Yan Yu instinctively felt that something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly, so he simply decided to go and find Lord Master.

Liu Longtao was playing bowling, having scored a turkey for three straight games, and was urging others to drink, when suddenly Yan Yu pulled him aside.

“What’s been happening outside recently?” Yan Yu asked in a low voice.

“Old Yan, aren’t I just staying put here like you?” Liu Longtao was confused.

“Think again, have any of your intelligence channels sent you any messages?” Yan Yu pressed.

“Mhm.” Liu Longtao thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “It seems like the Yin Yang Bureau is up to some plan again…”

“What plan?”

“I don’t know.” Liu Longtao said, “There is only some intelligence suggesting that they might be conducting a large-scale secret blood sacrifice.”

Anything related to blood sacrifices undoubtedly involved Orochi.

The plan involving Orochi, similar to the Shroud Barrier and the Mortal Warrior Project, fundamentally are projects created by the mortal regime to counter the rapidly growing power of the Transcendents.

If the idea behind the Shroud Barrier was “suppression” and the Mortal Warrior Project was “substitution”, then Orochi was undoubtedly about “destruction”—to use the flesh, blood, and souls of mortals to summon a monstrously powerful creature to annihilate all Transcendents who might challenge the regime.

As for the specific mechanics, in his past life, Yan Yu only knew that it followed the Demon Cult’s method of “seizing external things”, and also borrowed many secret techniques from the heretical sects that transformed bodies. If this creature was allowed to fully form, then even three to five Golden Core real individuals might not stand a chance.

Of course, it was not fully formed yet, so it was hard to find where Orochi was. The blood sacrifice ritual and the actual entity were not in the same location, and its entity would definitely be hidden in an extremely secret place by the Onmyoji, even the intelligence department of Lu Country couldn’t find it, so Yan Yu did not want to waste his time.

Better to focus on the present. Speaking of which, my Liangyi Micro Dust Sword could have its next layer unsealed.

His main task now was still to upgrade his Breathing Exercises, but since cultivation only required three to four hours each day, he could spare some time to handle the unsealing, and also take a few people along to save some time.

The Mysterious Realm related to the Liangyi Micro Dust Sword mainly tested one’s abilities in the way of the Sword Immortal. Only the first time he brought Tang Xiaolian and the second time he brought Anna, both of whom served as guides along the way and were of no help. This time, it would be best to bring a Sword Immortal…

Thinking of this, Yan Yu asked Lord Master:

“Old Liu, I have a Mysterious Realm to go to outside, are you free lately?”

“When?” Liu Longtao blinked, “Oh, you mean a private job?”

“Tonight.” Yan Yu said, “I’ll be back by tomorrow afternoon.”

“That won’t work.” Liu Longtao shook his head, “Tonight I must return to Pingjing to meet He Ye, have dinner and watch a movie.”

“How about tomorrow night?”

“That won’t work either.”

“What do you have tomorrow night?”

“Back to Pingjing to meet He Ye, have dinner and watch a movie.”

“So you fly back to Pingjing every night with Sword Control?” Yan Yu laughed ruefully at Lord Master’s reply, “Can’t you move your girlfriend over here to Jingbei? It’d make dating more convenient.”

“She’s from the Pingjing Tax and Finance Bureau, moving over here would be too much trouble!” Liu Longtao stated with conviction, “Moreover, commuting between two places daily, that’s how I show my sincerity! Old Yan, if you want me to join you for a private job, just take a day off, let’s go in the morning and return in the afternoon, so it doesn’t interfere with my evening return to Pingjing.”

“That won’t work.” Yan Yu said, “I’m the team leader this time, and cultivation is the most important task. If I, as a leader, take time off from cultivation, what would that look like?”

“Then make me the team leader.” Liu Longtao quickly said.

“Get lost!”

Since Lord Master didn’t seem keen on going, Yan Yu started considering other options.

Sword Immortals he was relatively close with… uh, it seems only Ningning and Minghu then.

Let’s ask.

Considering Ningning had been spending a lot of time with Yun Jin recently, having a talk might let Yun Jin notice, so it’s better to contact through mobile.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Ningning, are you free tonight?

[Ningning]: What for?

[Ningning]: It’s not time to begin Dual Cultivation yet, is it?

[Win Over with Virtue]: I have a private job, come with me.

[Ningning]: Oh.

[Win Over with Virtue]: Don’t let Yun Jin know.

[Ningning]: Yun Jin is right next to me.

Yan Yu: ???

Suddenly a message popped up at the top of the screen.

[Yun Jin]: Why can’t you let me know?

[Yun Jin]: Did I do something to make the team leader dissatisfied?

[Yun Jin]: Or does the team leader think I will be pushy, and if I knew about this matter would I make unreasonable demands?

Yan Yu, sweating bullets!

Yun Jin’s triple interrogation was like a triple meteor strike, immediately leaving him scurrying for cover.

Lin Ning on the other side was stunned, watching Yun Jin typing away with a smile, sending three consecutive messages to question Yan Yu… too much! It was way too much!

Seeing her type out “Why can’t the team leader trust me”, Lin Ning quickly grabbed her and said:

“Yun Jin, just a few words are enough, don’t let the team leader lose face.”

Su Yunjin then came to her senses, dropped the fake smile, took several deep breaths, and her chest’s heaving slowed down.

Right, don’t get angry… The team leader must have his difficulties, I was too hasty… I should apologize to the team leader.
