Chapter 303 First Class Defensive Type Secret Treasure

Yu Qiao seemed to notice Xu Ning’s gaze. She looked back and met Xu Ning’s eyes.

She smiled and gave him a friendly look.

Xu Ning nodded slightly and looked away. The relationship between Xu Ning and the other two extreme disciples was quite delicate.

To a certain extent, everyone had the same status in the sect.

But because their status was too close, the competition between the three was also the fiercest.

‘Only the sect seeds have appeared here, but the Core Sea Demon Lord hasn’t appeared yet?’

Xu Ning was looking forward to seeing the Core Sea Demon Lord.

After all, the Core Sea Demon Lord was regarded as the closest existence to the Grandmaster in State Wansheng, the strongest person under the Duan imperial family.

Just as he was wondering where he was, more than a dozen figures suddenly began to arrive at the heart of the island.

Xu Ning saw Elder Wei, whom he had first met after arriving at the Core Sea Demon Sect, and the two elders from the Resource Hall.

‘Are these all the elders of the Core Sea Demon Sect…’

Xu Ning thought to himself, ‘It is said that there are nearly thirty elders in the Core Sea Demon Sect, and less than twenty of them have appeared here. It seems that some of them are outside the island, or are busy with other matters so they can’t come here.’

No one deliberately restrained their aura, so Xu Ning could sense their strength.

These elders were all above the dao realm eighth stage without any exception.

There were even a few whose auras were even stronger, giving off an unfathomable feeling.

This basically confirmed that those elders were in a higher realm, being dao realm ninth stage existences.

This made Xu Ning sigh ruefully at the foundation of the Core Sea Demon Sect.

In State Wansheng, only the Duan imperial family, including the Duan family’s dukes that were scattered across the states, could surpass the Core Sea Demon Sect.

Although to a certain extent, the Core Sea Demon Sect was considered half of the Duan imperial family’s power.

‘The elders of the sect are here, so Sect Master Core Sea Demon Lord should be appearing soon…

Xu Ning looked around silently.

Sure enough, not long after, a black fog suddenly appeared on the high platform in front of everyone.

Afterwards, the black fog dissipated, and a tall, long-haired man in black appeared in front of everyone. Just by standing there, he gave off a heart palpitating feeling.

‘The Core Sea Demon Lord!’

This was the first time Xu Ning had seen this legendary figure of State Wansheng.

When he was in the Abyss North, Xu Ning had obtained a lot of benefits from his inheritance.

Ever since he came to State Wansheng, he had been hearing about the reputation of the Core Sea Demon Lord.

As a descendant of the imperial family, because of his ordinary aptitude, he took another path and took the initiative to open up the advancement of the demonic path. In the end, after experiencing countless difficulties, he finally reached the limit of the dao realm.

At the same time, he also established the number one sect in State Wansheng, with countless elites under him, respected by thousands of people.

Now that he saw the Core Sea Demon Lord with his own eyes, Xu Ning’s heart stirred.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

Instantly, whether it was the elders or the more than a hundred seeds, all of them bowed to the Core Sea Demon Lord.

Most people had sincere respect in their eyes.

There were even some disciples who looked at Core Sea Demon Lord with fanatic eyes.

It seemed like as long as the Core Sea Demon Lord gave an order, they would even take the initiative to die for him.

“The purpose of gathering most of the elders and all the seeds here today is to select the candidates who will be a part of the high-level structure of the Core Sea Demon Sect in the future! This includes the future elders and even the sect master!”

Duan Huiyao went straight to the point.

Almost all of the seeds below trembled when he said that.

Even Duan Chaomian who had always been tranquil pretended to be calm.

Although everyone present had roughly guessed the purpose of their summon to the Island Heart Peak, after hearing the Core Sea Demon Lord say this, they couldn’t calm down.

The Core Sea Demon Sect was the number one sect in State Wansheng.

Becoming the leader of this sect, even if only as an elder, was a huge benefit for them.

Once they accomplished this, it meant that they really stood at the peak of State Wansheng.

“You all should know that the current state of State Wansheng is not very peaceful. The reason is that there is an overseas sect called the Hidden Sect that is constantly infiltrating State Wansheng, trying to mess up the status quo of State Wansheng.”

Duan Huiyao said, “Thus, the content of our selection test this time is to cooperate with the forces of the Imperial Court and go out to sea to destroy this Hidden Sect!”

“Exterminate the overseas Hidden Sect?”

Everyone’s hearts that had yet to calm down were shocked again.

Everyone present knew of the existence of the Hidden Sect.

This sect had a mysterious background, and there were many masters in the sect.

They kept causing trouble in State Wansheng, which was the primary reason why the Imperial Court wanted to exterminate them.

But now, the content of this test was for them, the seed disciples, to complete this difficult mission.

‘Cooperate with the Imperial Court to eliminate the Hidden Sect…’

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes. Xu Ning had fought against the members of the Hidden Sect before.

Xu Ning still clearly remembered Liu Yi, who fought against him with special methods.

Because of this, Xu Ning was quite afraid of the Hidden Sect. “This selection test is not mandatory. If you are unwilling, you can leave immediately.”

Duan Huiyao glanced at everyone.

When he encountered unfamiliar faces, he would pause for a moment.

Especially when he glanced at Xu Ning, he paused for a longer time.

The crowd was silent after Duan Huiyao finished speaking.

No one chose to retreat.

Although the contents of this test seemed to be very dangerous, everyone knew that if they left now, they would not only lose their opportunity to become part of the upper echelons of the sect, but they would also lose their status as a seed, or even their identity as a disciple of the Core Sea Demon Sect.

“Good, no one left.”

Duan Huiyao’s expression was calm. “In this case, we will set off for the sea in ten days.” “Elder Wei.”

Duan Huiyao tilted his head slightly.

“Sect Master.”

Elder Wei, who looked like an old farmer, stood up after being called.

“You shall discuss with the Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Court to determine which seed will be assigned to the Imperial Court’s warship.”

Duan Huiyao said.

“Yes, Sect Master!”

Elder Wei responded respectfully.

Duan Huiyao nodded and glanced at everyone again.

“This trip will be dangerous. I hope everyone can come back alive.”

Duan Huiyao’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

Whoosh!

Afterwards, Duan Huiyao’s figure turned into a ball of black fog and disappeared.

“I hope everyone will remember the Sect Master’s words.”

Elder Wei stepped forward. “Everyone, there are still ten days before we leave for the sea, go back and prepare!”

Elder Wei dismissed everyone.

After that, more than a dozen elders left first and flew away.

But among the hundred and more seeds, no one acted like that. Everyone squeezed together and walked down the stairs honestly.

“Xu Ning.” Xu Ning was mixed in the crowd. When he was walking down the mountain, he heard a female voice.

Xu Ning paused for a moment. After the person behind him caught up, he glanced sideways. It was Yu Qiao.

“I’m Yu Qiao.”

There was a tempting charm in Yu Qiao’s smile.

“Senior Sister Yu.”

Xu Ning nodded as a gesture.

“You could already pass the ninth level of the Core Sea Tower in the core transformation realm, and now that you have advanced to the elementary origin realm, there are not many seeds that can compete with you. Your aptitude is indeed impressive.”

Yu Qiao said. “Senior Sister Yu is exaggerating.” Xu Ning was a little cautious.

Yu Qiao’s words seemed to be a compliment, but Xu Ning felt like she was flattering him to make him complacent.

Yu Qiao chuckled.

“I hope we can be allocated closer to each other during this mission to eliminate the Hidden Sect.”

After Yu Qiao finished speaking, she walked away quickly without waiting for Xu Ning’s response. “This woman…!

Xu Ning’s impression of Yu Qiao was average, so he didn’t plan to be too involved with this woman.

‘Before going out to sea this time, I have to go to the Resource Hall again to see if there are any new first-class treasures. If I can obtain another non-offensive type treasure, it can boost my combat power by a small level.’

Xu Ning thought in his head.

Because of his experience fighting against the Hidden Sect, Xu Ning tried his best to be cautious when facing this unpredictable overseas sect.

Ten days later.

State Wansheng’s eastern coastline.

A row of warships lined up on the shore.

The soldiers in armor first boarded the ship. Not far away, the one hundred and thirty-two seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect were also ready. After these soldiers boarded, they followed closely behind.

‘Are we ready to go out to sea…’

Xu Ning stood in the crowd and looked into the distance.

Xu Ning went to the Resource Hall again in the past ten days.

This time, the Resource Hall had two more first-class treasures, one of which was a first-class defensive type secret treasure.

According to the two elders in the Resource Hall, these two first-class treasures were sent to the Resource Hall by Sect Master Core Sea Demon Lord after his return.

Xu Ning chose the first-class defensive treasure and put it in his bag.

This was the reward after Xu Ning was evaluated as “extreme”.

This first-class defensive treasure was named the Fantasy Heart Armor.

Although this Fantasy Heart Armor was called an armor, its form was not an armor, but a bracer.

In a real battle, activating this bracer would materialize a transparent armor on Xu Ning’s body.

This armor could greatly reduce the lethality of an enemy’s attack.

Even if the other party was a peak dao realm ninth stage master, the armor could still exert a lot of capabilities.

With this Fantasy Heart Armor, Xu Ning had more confidence in his safety during this trip overseas.

“Ready to board the ship!”

The soldiers by the sea had already boarded the ship, and it was time for the seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect.

Xu Ning also found his assigned ship and rushed over.
