Since the disciples of Blue Stream Villa confidently assured that their rewards would not be diminished, Ye Feng and Huang Yao naturally had nothing more to say. After bidding farewell, they returned to their respective rooms.
With the Floating Vessel as their mode of transportation, the group arrived above Yue Ma Plain in just a few days.
On this day, the weather was clear and sunny. The speed of the Floating Vessel slowed significantly as it emerged from the clouds and began to descend gently.
After getting ready, Ye Feng stepped out of his room and joined Bai Jing and the others on the deck of the Floating Vessel.
Before him lay a vast plain covered in lush greenery, stretching endlessly into the horizon. The rich Heaven and Earth Origin Power floated slowly above the grassland, forming layers of light white mist that exuded a unique charm.
After an unknown duration of flight, the flat grassland began to show some undulating terrain changes. Not far away, a small lake suddenly appeared in the center of the plain, its clear waters shimmering with an icy blue glow. From above, it resembled a naturally formed blue gemstone.
Ye Feng noticed that this small lake was circular in shape, surrounding a cluster of buildings at its center. The structures were arranged neatly along the lakeshore, perfectly blending with the surrounding water. At first glance, it was truly refreshing to behold.
At that moment, the Floating Vessel approached the ground, passing through layers of mist before gently landing at the entrance of Blue Stream Villa.
As soon as the Floating Vessel touched down, an elderly man dressed in blue attire approached with hundreds of young disciples following closely behind.
"The esteemed disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect have arrived at Blue Stream Villa. We apologize for not welcoming you properly; please forgive us. I am Wang Qun, an Outer Sect Elder of this villa, and I have been waiting here for quite some time."
Standing on the deck, Ye Feng glanced at Elder Wang below. Using his Soul Thought to sense, he discovered that this person's cultivation had reached the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm, similar to Huang Yao, just one step away from Gangwu Realm.
However, this elder's strength was clearly superior to Huang Yao's. Perhaps due to his long years of cultivation, his Vital Energy appeared exceptionally thick and robust. The rhythm of his Elemental Wave was strong and powerful; even a newly refined True Essence practitioner at the early stage of Gangwu Realm might not be his match.
As for the disciples of Blue Stream Villa behind the elder, their cultivation levels seemed much more ordinary. Most were around the mid-Origin Martial Realm stage, with many still lingering at the early stage of Origin Martial Realm, possessing only two or three levels of cultivation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Floating Vessel suddenly descended with over two hundred figures, with Huang Yao at the forefront, representing the disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. He stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Elder Wang, you are too polite. It seems we have not arrived too late."
Sensing the powerful Elemental Wave emanating from Huang Yao, Wang Qun was momentarily taken aback, thinking to himself that it was no wonder Heavenly Level Sect was so esteemed; even a master at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm was merely an Outer Sect Disciple within the sect.
Naturally, Wang Qun did not dare to be negligent towards the disciples of the Heavenly Level Sect. He quickly took the lead and guided everyone to an independent courtyard.
The courtyard was exquisitely decorated, complete with pavilions, towers, artificial hills, and gardens—everything one could wish for.
To accommodate the guests taking on the mission, the yard had already been meticulously cleaned in advance. The surroundings were spotless, without a speck of dust, and all the furniture in each room had been polished to a shine as if newly arranged.
"This courtyard is called Blue Heart Courtyard. It includes both the main and auxiliary courtyards, with a total of two hundred rooms. Originally, this was where our Blue Stream Villa's Outer Sect Elder resided. Each room has been prepared, and I believe it will meet your satisfaction," he explained.
There were two hundred disciples from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and Blue Stream Villa had conveniently prepared a large courtyard capable of accommodating them all. Each disciple could enjoy their own room, which left no room for complaint from Huang Yao and his companions regarding such hospitality.
After Wang Qun left, the members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect did not depart but instead gathered in the main hall of the main courtyard under Huang Yao's arrangement to discuss their next steps.
"The rooms at Blue Stream Villa are limited. If they have arranged it this way, won't other sects lack sufficient accommodations?" Huang Yao said with a somewhat peculiar expression.
"The treatment for a Heavenly Level Sect is naturally different from that of ordinary sects. I believe that the other two Heavenly Level Sects will receive similar treatment as us. As for the Earth-Level Sects and other ordinary sects, they may not be able to provide exactly the same," Zong Nan replied proudly.
Everyone nodded in agreement; like Zong Nan, they felt proud to be disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
"When we are out in the world, our sect is our backbone. No matter what happens, remember not to tarnish our reputation as members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect," Huang Yao reminded with a smile.
Having joined the Heavenly Mechanism Sect five years ago, both his qualifications within the sect and his background were sufficient for him to be regarded as a leader among them. Therefore, when he represented the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to accept the reception from Blue Stream Villa, no one raised any objections.
"Brother Huang, rest assured, whether at Blue Stream Villa or anywhere else, we will never tarnish the reputation of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect," a disciple quickly assured, patting his chest.
Ye Feng smiled lightly from the side but did not respond. After all, he had just joined the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and did not feel as strong a sense of belonging as those veteran disciples.
After a brief discussion, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Just as Ye Feng was about to leave, he was called back by Huang Yao.
"What else do you need, Brother Huang?" Ye Feng asked in surprise.
"I have a feeling that something is off about this matter!" Huang Yao's expression was no longer relaxed but rather extremely serious.
"Are you referring to the additional rewards?" Ye Feng nodded. The entire mission indeed carried an air of peculiarity; renting a Floating Vessel for transportation and exchanging Elemental Crystals for heads required a significant amount of resources. Not to mention Human-Level Sects, even ordinary Earth-Level Sects would find it hard to bear such resource consumption.
"I noticed that aside from our Heavenly Mechanism Sect, the other two Heavenly Level Sect Disciples are also being transported by Floating Vessels. Blue Stream Villa itself does not have any Floating Vessels; to rent one for transportation requires a substantial amount of Elemental Crystals!" Huang Yao said solemnly.
Ye Feng was not very familiar with the rental prices of Floating Vessels, but he had not expected that the cost would be settled using Elemental Crystals.
Seeing that Ye Feng did not reply, Huang Yao continued, "In recent years, since the Righteous Path Sect has frequently been sweeping away evil sects and demonic cults, Rogue Bandits have often appeared within the Sky Abyss Empire. However, these Rogue Bandits are usually weak and limited in number, rarely posing a threat to any sect. The Yue Ma Plain in Lingnan County is quite remote; apart from Blue Stream Villa, there are only some impoverished villages around with no decent towns. Rogue Bandits would not choose such a place if they wanted to plunder resources!"
"Even if Rogue Bandits occasionally pass through Yue Ma Plain, they often leave because there is nothing worth taking here. Logically speaking, there should not be any large groups of Rogue Bandits that could threaten Blue Stream Villa!"
As the Crown Prince of Qin and a veteran disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Huang Yao naturally had a much deeper understanding of the Sky Abyss Empire than Ye Feng. Especially in recent years, as demonic Rogue Bandits have caused chaos and threatened the ruling order of the Huang Dynasty, he would pay close attention to such matters.
"Then it seems this matter indeed has some oddities!" Ye Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that those Rogue Bandits have changed their minds and want to team up to attack a sect as a stronghold for future resurgence?"
"The likelihood of that is minimal," Huang Yao immediately replied. "The identities of Rogue Bandits are often very complex; they come from various evil sects. It is rare for anyone to organize them because those who could truly lead them have long since died under our Righteous Path Sect's joint attacks. Moreover, Blue Stream Villa is not an insignificant sect; as a Human-Level Sect, other righteous sects would never stand by and watch them be taken over by Cult Remnants. As long as Blue Stream Villa requests assistance from the Top Ten Heavenly Sects, all Heavenly Level Sects, including our Heavenly Mechanism Sect, will immediately dispatch numerous experts to help."
Huang Yao paused for a moment, then took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to Ye Feng.
Unrolling the scroll, Ye Feng was taken aback; it depicted a detailed map of the entire Yue Ma Plain.
"They haven't requested rescue; they only issued related missions inviting disciples from various sects to assist. This has already caught the attention of several Outer Sect Elders in our sect. Even an Elder Hu from the Inner Sect specifically sought me out to provide this detailed map and insisted that we must keep a close watch on every move of Blue Stream Villa!"
Even an Inner Sect Elder has been alarmed? Ye Feng gasped.
Inner Sect Elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect are often disciples who have reached a certain level of Sect Contribution, and their strength should not be underestimated. They are at least in the mid to late stages of the Gangwu Realm, with status just slightly below that of Core Disciples.
"I also received news from the royal palace that, currently, almost all the Rogue Bandits of the Sky Abyss Empire have gathered at Yue Ma Plain. It is certain that these Rogue Bandits are not being secretly directed by anyone; they have gathered here spontaneously. Although Blue Stream Villa is a Human-Level Sect with great power, far beyond ordinary forces, the gathering of all Rogue Bandits from the Sky Abyss Empire poses a threat that could annihilate them. In such a perilous situation, they should have immediately sought help from the Top Ten Heavenly Sects!"
Ye Feng quickly realized the seriousness of the situation and blurted out his thoughts: "It seems that Blue Stream Villa wants to protect some secret, which is why they haven't called upon the Top Ten Heavenly Sects but instead sought help in the form of missions!"
"What Ye Shidi said is absolutely correct. This secret must be extremely important to Blue Stream Villa; otherwise, they wouldn't offer up years' worth of accumulated Elemental Crystals as additional rewards or even go so far as to rent a Floating Vessel just to ensure that disciples from various sects can arrive here as quickly as possible!" Huang Yao said angrily. "We still don't know how many Rogue Bandits there are, but I estimate that this mission will be much more difficult than we imagined."
Ye Feng's heart sank. If the Rogue Bandits are too strong, even if they kill a large number of them, they might ultimately perish on this plain. Since those who were invited have already died, there would be no need to distribute the Elemental Crystal rewards; after all, the requirement for rewards is to eliminate all Rogue Bandits from Yue Ma Plain. As long as not all Rogue Bandits are eradicated, no matter how many you kill, it will be difficult to obtain all additional rewards.
