Divine Seal: The Shadow Legion, I am the Shadow Lord.

Two days later, Yunxuan and Li Xin arrived at the Adventurers' Guild in another area of ​​Haoyue City.

Compared to the Knights' Hall in Bright Moon City, the Adventurers' Guild's environment was rather noisy and chaotic, full of a down-to-earth atmosphere.

A diverse stream of people entered and exited through the main gate, dressed in a variety of attire, including heavily armored warriors and mages in robes.

The sounds of noisy conversations and occasional arguments rose and fell.

Yunxuan and the other person entered the guild hall.

Inside, the place was packed with people. Not far to the left, above a long counter, hung a prominent sign that read "Accept Mission".

Seeing that there was no one queuing over there for the time being, Yunxuan quickly walked over.

Behind the counter sat a pretty young clerk in her early twenties, tidying up the files on the table.

Upon seeing Yunxuan and Li Xin approaching, especially noticing Yunxuan's clearly underage appearance, a hint of curiosity flashed in their eyes.

"Sister, I'd like to take on a mission," Yunxuan said politely as she stepped forward.

The young female clerk looked at the handsome young man before her and asked gently, "Little brother, what kind of mission do you want to take?"

"We need to take on a level three mission, preferably one involving hunting magical beasts," Li Xin said, stepping forward.

"A level three mission?" Upon hearing this, the young clerk's face flashed with surprise, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Li Xin.

Level 3 quests typically require the recipient to have a Level 3 profession to accept them.

Could this beautiful girl, who looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, already be a third-tier professional?

Such a young third-tier cultivator is a rare sight in Bright Moon City.

Some adventurers who noticed the commotion also turned their attention to the scene.

"Ah! It's the Hell Rose!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in a low voice.

"No wonder she dared to accept a level three mission. Hell Rose is a top disciple of Lord Nalan, and I've long heard of her amazing talent..."

"But who's that child next to her? He doesn't look like a knight's squire."

"Who knows? Maybe it's her brother, or... a newly recruited retainer?"

A murmur of whispers came from the surrounding area.

Clearly, the nickname "Hell Rose" is quite famous among adventurers in Brightmoon City.

Li Xin was already used to this, and her expression remained unchanged.

The young clerk overheard the surrounding chatter and immediately recognized Li Xin's identity, becoming even more respectful.

"So it's Miss Li Xin, a level three monster hunting quest... Please wait a moment while I check."

She quickly flipped through the task list and soon selected one: "Here is a task to 'eliminate the Swiftwind Wolf pack that is breeding on the edge of the Black Forest a hundred miles west of the city.' The Swiftwind Wolves are level three magical beasts, and the leader may be close to level four."

The mission requires eliminating the wolf pack and bringing back the wolf king's fangs and at least ten pairs of ordinary Gale Wolf ears as proof.

The reward is 300 gold coins, is that alright with you?

"Okay, this one will do." Li Xin nodded.

After accepting the mission, the two did not linger and turned to leave the Adventurers' Guild.

Upon reaching the outside of the union compound, Li Xin looked at Yun Xuan and said, "It's a bit far. Let's ride my partner there; that will save us a lot of time."

After saying that, she took a few steps back, and then a pale golden light energy burst forth from her body, outlining a series of mysterious trajectories in front of her.

"Herod—!"

A spirited neighing of a horse suddenly rang out!

As the neighing sound rang out, a tall, strong, and exceptionally handsome steed stepped out from the light and shadow with elegant steps!

This magnificent horse is entirely pink, like rose petals, with a smooth, satin-like coat that gleams softly in the sunlight.

It is about eight feet long and six feet tall at the shoulder, with a well-proportioned and powerful physique.

Most strikingly, it has a pair of wings on its back that are not yet fully unfolded.

In the center of its forehead, there is a jewel-like protrusion, faintly radiating inner brilliance.

This is Li Xin's mount, and the origin of her nickname "Hell Rose"—an immature rose unicorn!

Although this rose unicorn is still a minor, it is already a true level 5 low-level magical beast!

It possesses powerful light attributes and a certain amount of natural magic ability, making its combat power far exceed that of ordinary mounts.

With its assistance, Li Xin's combat ability can be said to have skyrocketed.

Let alone a third-tier warrior of the same level, even if he encounters a fourth-tier expert, the opponent will have to think twice.

Li Xin lightly touched the ground with her toes, and then landed steadily on the broad, soft back of the rose unicorn.

She then turned to Yunxuan and extended her hand, saying, "Little brother, come on up. Don't worry, Rose is very docile."

Yunxuan looked at the magnificent pink unicorn before him, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes as well.

He reached out and grasped Li Xin's hand, and then Li Xin gently pulled Yun Xuan onto the horse's back.

"Hold on tight, or I won't be responsible if you fall," Li Xin said with a light laugh.

The rose unicorn let out a neigh and began to move its four hooves, initially with graceful steps, but then its speed increased.

With this level-five magical beast as their mount, the journey to the Black Forest became much easier.

Feeling the steady strength and warmth from the boy's arm behind her, a barely perceptible blush flashed across Li Xin's face.

This was the first time she had ever been in such close contact with a man.

Although Yunxuan was still young, his composure beyond his years and their intimate posture at the moment still made her heart flutter slightly.

She steadied herself and focused on controlling the rose unicorn.

The rose unicorn was incredibly fast, and in less than half a day, it reached the edge of the Black Forest.

Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, the light is dim, and the air is filled with a faint smell of decaying leaves and a barely perceptible stench of blood.

The two jumped off the unicorn's back.

Li Xin patted her companion's neck, and the unicorn nuzzled against her affectionately.

He then walked to the edge of a relatively open woodland and rested on his own.

"For this mission, I'll just be your assistant. How you do it is up to you." Li Xin crossed her arms.

Leaning against a large tree, her pinkish-blue eyes looked at Yunxuan with a smile and a hint of inquiry.

She was genuinely curious about how Yunxuan, with his current level of spiritual power, could independently complete a standard Tier 3 mission.

Yunxuan didn't say much, his gaze sweeping across the dark forest ahead.

Then he walked to a dappled open space, and a thought stirred within him.

His shadow, like a stone thrown into water, began to wriggle and stretch, as if it had gained an independent life.

"Go," Yunxuan whispered.

In an instant, dozens of dark figures shot out silently from the writhing shadows like arrows released from a bow!

They moved swiftly, instantly dispersing and transforming into streaks of black lines that blended into the environment.

It sped off at an astonishing speed toward the direction where the wolf pack was entrenched, disappearing into the dense forest and shadows in the blink of an eye.

A look of surprise flashed in Li Xin's eyes.

"The Ghost Legion..." she murmured.

She naturally knew what this was.

She can also summon Shadow Ninjas, but she hasn't officially accepted the final contract with the mask yet.

Therefore, it is still in a "borrowed" state, and summoning it is far less easy than summoning Yunxuan, and the consumption is also much greater.

Yunxuan paused for a moment, as if receiving a message from afar.

Yunxuan summoned the most basic Ghost Shadow Legion; the other eight Ghost Shadow Legions each have their own unique names.

Therefore, Yunxuan called this basic legion "Ninja Shadow".

With the help of the ninja shadows' reconnaissance, it only took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Yunxuan immediately sketched out a relatively clear distribution map and strength assessment of the wolf pack ahead in his mind.

"We've found out." Yunxuan turned to Li Xin and shared the information.

"The wolf pack consists of about thirty to forty members, mainly level two Gale Wolves. They are fast and skilled in wind-attribute acceleration and pouncing. The wolf king is located deep in the den and is a level three magical beast."

The ranking system for monsters differs from that for humans. Their third rank is only equivalent to the second tier in our human class system.

Therefore, Yunxuan's strength is sufficient to handle it.
