When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 871 Mission Details
The bluestone slabs were mottled with moss, and lush greenery spread over the broken monuments on the roadside. A carriage ran over the branches of dead pine trees, making a creaking sound.

It was the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the autumn was approaching. Zhou Lengliang had no interest in appreciating such a beautiful scene.

Because the end of this road is the Qin border checkpoint, after completing this journey, the mission will officially begin.

Zhou Leng had already prepared himself for the fact that the last part of this chain of tasks would be extremely difficult.

However, the moment he learned the specific task from Yan Chuansui, he still cursed in his heart a few rural slangs that were still popular in the Qin Dynasty.

This mission is not as cumbersome as the previous ones involving Zhao and Chu, where one has to run around and complete various prerequisites before proceeding to the next step.

The content is very simple and clear... escorting a defected Qin general back to Yan State.

Moreover, the most difficult part of defection had already been completed by the Beiyan Xueling branch of the Qin State. Zhou Leng and his men only needed to contact them and bring back the seriously injured general.

Theoretically, there is even the possibility that there is no need to fight at all... as long as we ignore the fact that the seriously injured general is a true immortal.

That’s right, to be a general in Qin State, one needs to have at least the cultivation level of a spiritual master. Even some of the lieutenants under the command of some famous generals are true immortals.

As we all know, only the soul can seriously injure the soul!
Therefore, this mission can also be described as... a group of Jindan have to escape from the enemy country full of crises while being hunted by Yuanshen Zhenxian, carrying a seriously injured and dying general... It is definitely a nightmare level of difficulty.

"Next is the border checkpoint under the jurisdiction of the Qin State. You all should be alert and do not do anything that is unbecoming of our status." Zhou Leng looked straight ahead and instructed in a deep voice.

In addition to Zhou Leng, Yan Chuansui also sent him four retainers to assist him.

The reason why the Daqin household registration is so precious is that it is not just a certificate of one person, but a certificate of an entire household.

A family within three generations can be called one household.

Therefore, even in times of peace, it is difficult to obtain a Qin household registration.

In order to match their household registration, Zhou Leng and the other four people were composed of both young and old, and they disguised themselves as old Qin people who had fled from other countries and returned to their family.

Now that war is about to break out, the old Qin people who usually practice cultivation and gain experience outside have returned to Qin State to avoid being affected after the war begins.

Refugees like them are not uncommon, and all they need is proof of household registration to be screened.

Of course, it’s not that the Qin Dynasty didn’t supervise strictly. The Black Ice Platform is investigating the whole world, so how could it not be strict?

It’s just because the Lishan formation that covers the entire Qin territory has already been activated.

Any cultivator at Yin Shen level or above who enters the Qin State will be marked by the formation. Only the "weaklings" like Jin Dan can escape.

This is also the reason why Chuansui Mansion entrusted such an important task to several Jindan masters.

Zhou Leng's group, in addition to himself, also includes two "players" and two "non-players". The two who play his wife and brother are disciples of Wanfa Lin and Qinghe Cui respectively.

Although the existence of [Lingshu Dharma Realm] made it difficult for the aristocratic families to monopolize the practice of spiritual cultivation, to some extent, it also allowed those families that had just experienced the Five Emperors Incident and had to lie dormant to regain vitality.

Compared to ordinary people or even sects, although they are not as open as others and cannot make the cake bigger, when it comes to grouping together to grab benefits and divide the cake, organizations with structures like families have always had a considerable advantage.

Before the creation of the [Lingshu Dharma Realm], except for the Yunmeng Pavilion, the resources for cultivation were not circulated and were firmly controlled by the major families, clans, and sects.

The aristocratic families tacitly shared each other's spiritual resources through traveling, banqueting, conversation, and discussions on alchemy, so that they would not fall into the hands of others.

Even after Duobao Pavilion became the only currency, many aristocratic families still maintained their own manor economic system and refused to open it. It was for this reason that Tang Yuan and his entourage killed dozens of Yuanshen Zhenxian in one battle and broke through the closed doors of the various sects and aristocratic families in the southeast.

But even so, it failed to uproot the family's foundation.

After a short period of dormancy, a larger alliance of aristocratic families appeared in the [Lingshu Dharma Realm]. The exchange of resources in reality is still troublesome, but in the [Lingshu Dharma Realm], it is extremely convenient.

Prominent families such as the Five Surnames and Seven Names, as well as immortal families such as the Zhou family, formed a tacit alliance, sharing what they had with each other and dividing the huge interests in the [Spiritual Realm] and the [Dust and Disaster World].

Although the Zhou family has only been passed down for a short time, its status is not low.

After all, the current Three Immortals Island has a tendency to dominate the Taoist world. As the only aristocratic family in the sect, the status of the Zhou family will naturally rise accordingly.

Therefore, as the direct descendant of the Zhou family, Zhou Leng had long been connected with the direct descendants of other families.

Just like Wanfa Linlin and Qinghe Cui Ke, both of them are old friends of Zhou Leng. After sharing their resources and knowing that each other was also born in Yan State, they became allies.

After Zhou Leng got the opportunity to enter Chuansui Mansion, he also brought these two people into the mansion and made them his right-hand men.

This mission was arduous, so Zhou Leng naturally took it upon himself to bring the two of them along.

As for the two non-player characters, they are also good friends of Zhou Leng and his companions. They often cooperate with each other to complete tasks, and they have a tacit understanding.

Seeing Zhou Leng's serious expression, they all responded.

They also knew that this journey was fraught with dangers, and if they accidentally exposed their identities, they would be killed without a burial place.

Even though the deaths of Zhou Leng and others in [Dust and Floating World] were not real deaths, the three-year death penalty was still an unbearable burden.

Three years in reality is nine years in the [Dust Tribulation World]. Especially for the younger generation, a single death could cause their cultivation progress to lag far behind others, and they would be one step behind, and would always be catching up, and it would be difficult for them to compete with other geniuses of the same generation.

Not to mention that every time you die, you will face even more severe punishment.

Fortunately, the border inspection for several people was indeed very smooth.

The people guarding the pass simply checked their household registration, verified it, and registered them briefly before letting them in.

When all the envoys set foot on the land of Daqin, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The first hurdle was finally passed.

Next, all we have to do is find the general who was saved by Beiyan Xueling.

After a short rest, the few of them started their journey again, their destination being the Dahongze mentioned in the intelligence.

……

Great Hongze.

This place is where three rivers meet and five waters converge. There are no less than tens of thousands of large and small lakes, and the water system is complicated. It is also a place of great confusion in Daqin.

"Is there any news about the contact person?" Fan Yuqi asked while sitting at the head.

He is the general who defected to Qin this time!
