A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

The mission is coming!

Lin Yang didn't dare to delay and immediately headed to the North Gate.

He soon saw the 17th Prefectural Army squad waiting to assemble at the North Gate.

Because it was a small team, there weren't many people; including Lin Yang, there were only twelve people in total.

The team leader's name is Li Rui.

Once everyone had arrived, Li Rui said, "Our team's mission this time is to take turns guarding the reception point. We need to stay there for at least ten thousand years. You have one day to prepare, and we will regroup and depart after one day."

Upon hearing Li Rui's words, the veteran members of the team remained calm and immediately dispersed to prepare.

Lin Yang muttered a curse to himself.

He thought back to when he first arrived in the Primordial Ancient Land.

At that time, the rendezvous point was attacked by the serpents, and the entire squad was wiped out in a short period of time.

This task is purely based on luck.

If you're unlucky enough to encounter a monster that your team can't defeat, you're doomed.

Although the probability of this is not high, the fact that he was assigned to guard the reception point right from the start left Lin Yang speechless.

Because compared to the task of guarding the reception point, there are many other tasks with a lower risk factor.

Furthermore, they must remain stationed at the reception point and are not allowed to leave for at least ten thousand years.

During this period, I was unable to concentrate on my cultivation.

It's fair to say that this isn't a very good type of task.

Lin Yang stood still, there was nothing he needed to prepare.

Or rather, these past few days have been spent preparing for a mission.

Seeing this, Captain Li Rui glanced at Lin Yang's expression and said calmly, "Lin Yang, right? You're a newcomer to our team and just joined the government army. This is your first mission, so don't be too nervous."

"Although guarding the reception point is not a great task, it can be quite easy if you're lucky. There's hardly any other troublesome work to do while you're there."

This was meant to comfort Lin Yang.

Lin Yang forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Captain."

"Haha, of course. If you have any questions during the mission, feel free to ask us." Li Rui laughed heartily, then stopped talking and waited in place.

Lin Yang thought to himself that this captain seemed like a good person; at least he didn't seem like the type to be harsh on his subordinates.

"I hope everything goes smoothly during the mission," Lin Yang muttered to himself, then focused on his own thoughts.

after one day.

The other team members returned one after another.

Li Rui led the group out of the city, and then summoned a standard warship from the Far East Prefecture.

The warship grew larger as it faced the wind, and everyone flew inside, piloted by Li Rui, heading towards the mission rendezvous point.

Each person on the ship has a private room for rest.

Once you reach the reception point, there will be no rest time.

……

"arrive."

After more than a year of flight, the spacecraft arrived at the mission rendezvous point.

Captain Li Rui's voice echoed throughout the entire warship.

The group disembarked from the spaceship one by one and landed at the pick-up point.

After handing over duties with the previous shift of the government troops, Lin Yang's team took over the reception point.

Li Rui looked at everyone, his voice becoming more serious: "From now on, until the end of the duty period, everyone must stay alert and not leave the reception point without permission."

"Yes, Captain," everyone responded in unison.

In fact, this kind of garrison duty was considered a very leisurely task for the old guard.

Therefore, no one was particularly serious.

Only Lin Yang had a psychological trauma related to the mission of guarding the rendezvous point because he had personally witnessed an entire squad being wiped out in an instant.

Everyone else seemed quite at ease.

Lin Yang quickly realized this as well; apart from him, none of the other members of the team were newcomers.

Gradually, he relaxed.

There are many points of connection, so surely this time I won't be so unlucky as to encounter an irresistible attack from the demons at the very point I'm currently at.

With this in mind, he followed the example of the others in the group, taking time to cultivate or refine some magic arrays. The task of guarding the reception point was indeed very leisurely.

You only need to give directions when someone comes; otherwise, there's basically nothing to do.

Although one cannot cultivate with the same focused concentration as in seclusion, intermittent cultivation is still possible.

The other members of the team are also very easy to talk to. As long as they don't go too far and don't do any work, no one will care too much.

Furthermore, after learning that Lin Yang was also a magic array master, everyone gave him even more leisure time to refine magic arrays.

Although the probability of the receiving point being attacked is not high, it is not zero either.

If we have more magic arrays, we'll have more confidence in case of emergencies.

Even Li Rui made a special exception for Lin Yang, allowing him to focus on refining the magic array without having to frequently patrol the guidance points.

Of course, the premise is that some magic arrays must be sold to them at a discounted price.

Lin Yang was naturally happy to see this happen.

He even obtained Li Rui's consent to set up some concealment arrays at one of the meeting points to hide his presence.

Several more killing formations and trapping formations were set up.

If attacked by a swarm of serpents, you can try to evade them.

There was no way around it; the trauma of seeing the guide team wiped out by the swarm of swarms back then was too great.

Lin Yang couldn't feel completely at ease.

He was willing to contribute his efforts for free, and Li Rui naturally agreed without hesitation.

No one in the team disagreed with this action, which could greatly improve their safety.

Years passed.

Lin Yang became very familiar with the rest of the Seventeenth Squad.

They also learned that his cultivation level was the weakest in the team.

At least, it is the weakest on the surface.

The others were all at least at the mid-stage of the Dao Fire Realm.

Lin Yang and his group have also been to this reception point for some sects to receive new members.

On this day, a sect warship flew in to pick up new disciples.

The markings on the warship made Lin Yang's eyes narrow.

Because this warship belongs to the Tiankun Sect.

Lin Yang was somewhat surprised to encounter people from the Tiankun Sect here.

Soon, the Tiankun Sect's warship landed, and two people stepped out and spoke politely to the group.

Suddenly, when the two saw Lin Yang's face, their expressions changed simultaneously.

"Lin Yang, is that you?!"

"You've become a member of the Imperial Guard?"

The two of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

It was obvious that they all recognized Lin Yang and were quite surprised to run into him here.

Ever since Lin Yang killed Lan Zhi, everyone in the Tiankun Sect knows Lin Yang.

However, Lin Yang fled too quickly back then, leaving the Tiankun Sect with no opportunity to capture him.

Upon seeing Lin Yang, the two were both surprised and delighted.

The Tiankun Sect investigated Lin Yang's whereabouts back then and had some guesses, but they didn't have enough evidence.

This unexpected encounter is truly a delightful surprise.

Reporting this back to the clan would be a great achievement.

Neither of them had considered taking action against Lin Yang now.

Firstly, Lin Yang was able to kill Lan Zhi, who was in the late stage of the Dao Fire Realm, so he was not easy to deal with.

Secondly, and most importantly, is because Lin Yang is now a member of the government army stationed at the reception point!

The Tiankun Sect doesn't dare to openly attack the government troops!
Lin Yang looked at the two of them but didn't say anything.

Although it was somewhat unexpected to run into people from the Tiankun Sect again, given the power of the Tiankun Sect, it wouldn't be difficult for them to know his whereabouts.

The Heavenly Kun Sect would find out sooner or later anyway; it's just happening a little earlier. (End of Chapter)
