"Your mission is to take over the city, then build the communication node. After that, inform me through it, then you can start your sister's mission.""One more thing, Senior QingWa, what about the Blue Lotus sect?"

"Miss MingYue didn't give me any specific order on that, so we should treat it the same as other sects, but you don't need to worry. Our scout just told us the sect is now empty. They have moved."

"Where? Did sis know?"

"I don't think she knows, but that doesn't really matter, they have been gone for a while, we just got the information too late.

The time coincides with the chaos in the central region, which is probably something related to that.

Any other questions? If not, quickly return. I don't want Xue Fang to escape by herself."

MingHao clasped his hands together, then waved to the other cultivators before going back to his group.

"See you later, Ruo. Be careful, and good luck on your mission."

"You too, MingHao, take care of YanYu and the others."

"I will."

After he disappeared, QingWa asked, "And you, why are you here? Things should continue smoothly on your part."

"Yes, the militia is doing fine. We have only had two casualties so far, and that is their own stupidity."

"Go on." Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Well, they pulled the grenade pin but were too late to throw it away, resulting in their demise," Ruo said with an exasperated tone.

QingWa frowned, 'I knew it. The time Miss MingYue gave us is too short.'

"Just take care of their bodies as per procedure. Is that it, or is there something else?"

Ruo hesitated for a moment but then continued, "Well, Senior QingWa, a few of the militia were caught treating one of the captured cultivators harshly."

"What do you mean? Elaborate."

"The captured cultivator is a woman they despise. It's a personal problem. When we captured them, they forcefully…." Ruo's voice trailed off as he didn't feel comfortable saying it.

After getting used to living inside the secret realm, many people's cultures changed. The education system changed their common sense, use of words, how to act, and many other things.

For Ruo, it was not appropriate to say it out loud.

"Punish them as per sect law; there is no need to be lenient. All the captured cultivators were still part of our sect. Miss MingYue has plans for them. "

"Alright, Senior, I will make sure to punish them, but this will probably affect their morale."

"You overthink things. It's just a few bad apples. The rush coming for those who cannot cultivate beating a cultivator is more than what you think.

They have lived oppressed lives for generations; they will keep going at the same pace."

"I understand, Senior. I will do as you instructed then," Ruo replied, saying that he wanted to leave, but QingWa stopped him.

"One more thing, Ruo, what do you think of those bizarre weapons?"

Ruo was confused by the question, "Do you mean the gun, Miss?"

"Yes, what else? Guns, grenades, and those flying things named drones. What do you think of them?"

"They are very useful, Miss. They operate on qi by themselves, allowing even civilians to control them. This way, everyone could become our militia force, raising our sect's strength to a completely new level.

Honestly, I feel no one can face us now."

"I see, I understand. You can go now." QingWa replied while she thought, 'It seems only I worry that everything will change from now on.'

She asked Ruo's opinion as she never held these weapons in her own hand, only saw everything from afar.

Different from Ruo, who had used them himself. MingYue also didn't give her any of the weaponry, as she deemed it unnecessary for her.

She was only contracted for a while to stay as Guardian of her sect. Her strength was also good enough, there was no need to make her stronger.

Meanwhile, MingHao had already returned to Xue Fang, YanYu, and the others.

"How is it? Can we go now?" Xue Fang asked impatiently.

"Yes, but Senior QingWa gave us a mission to complete first."

"That damned traitor! Even now she still makes trouble for me."

"Xue Fang, don't be like that. Let's just finish this quickly and go. It's not like someone will kill Yang Fei."

"What do you know? Thanks to your sister, he is now hunted as a demonic cultivator. It's just a matter of time till someone gets their hands on him."

MingHao's face turned annoyed, "It's not my sister's fault."

"You sis-con, I am just stating facts, not calling her names."

YanYu let out a chuckle upon hearing her words. They had learned some new vocabulary from watching movies together.

As for what movie they watched, I am sure my dear reader knows better than I do. (^ ^)

At their first meeting, MingHao called XueFang Lady Xue Fang and also treated her as a senior. But after some time, she asked him to just call her by name.

Her age may be far older, but based on appearance alone, she now looked the same age as MingHao and the others.

This change started after a week of exposure to Mana. But so far, there were only a few like them.

Vesa didn't report this because it was only a negligible change. No one had awakened any power till now.

"Calm down, Xue Fang. Let him tell us what the mission is first. Maybe it's an easy one."

MingHao's gaze turned complicated, "Taking over Daiying city. Based on our intel, the place is now taken by a golden core cultivator."

"With me here, that should be no problem. What are we waiting for then? Let's get going."

"Xue Fang, Daiying City is MingHao's hometown."

Xue Fang stopped in her steps. She had heard the story about MingHao's family. It wasn't the complete story, but he never hid it.

"I am sorry."

If MingYue had been here, she would have been surprised by how Xue Fang had acted. It was completely different from when she met MingYue at the Blue Cloud Village.
