Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 251 Return to the Foreign Affairs Hall

In this dark and gloomy world, the monsters and beasts at this moment had already fallen into chaos, like a colony of ants blown by a strong wind, with no order or direction.

They collided and bit each other, their originally ferocious eyes now filled with frenzy and confusion. Even though a few monsters still retained some rationality and tried to control the out-of-control situation, their efforts seemed so insignificant in this surging wave of chaos, and they still could not change the already broken situation.

He could only roar with anger and helplessness to express his frustration. The roar echoed in the valley, but it only added to the sadness.

On the other side, Shen Yun had a stern look on his face, holding Lin Ruyi's slender waist with one hand, and his posture was agile. His feet were as fast as the wind, and in a few jumps, he jumped out of the encirclement of the monsters like a ghost.

During this time, several irrational monsters were stimulated by the bloody breath and became more and more crazy, attacking them recklessly. Shen Yun's eyes were fixed, and he waved the long sword in his hand, flashing with cold light. The sharp sword was like a violent storm, and each sword was extremely accurate. After only a few short screams, the monsters were beheaded and turned into a ball of flesh and blood, falling to the ground with a bang.

Seeing this, other monsters around rushed forward and instantly devoured the fresh flesh and blood. The scene was bloody and horrifying. However, the figures of Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi had already disappeared, leaving only a chaotic and bloody battlefield.

The two of them rushed forward on the water for a distance, and finally saw a place suitable for landing. Shen Yun embraced Lin Ruyi, and in a flash, he landed steadily on the shore.

"Phew, that was a close call." Shen Yun let out a long sigh. The sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks. He raised his hand and wiped it casually.

Lin Ruyi also looked frightened, panting and said, "Yes, fortunately you are here."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of warmth and tacit understanding. Over the past few days, the two have been fighting side by side, clearing out the evil monsters along the way. Every time they depend on each other for life and death, every time they support each other, their hearts are getting closer and closer.

Looking back, the two just had a crush on each other. However, by chance, they had sex, and that night of intimacy further sublimated their feelings. Since then, they have cherished each other more and understood each other better.

The days they have been together, whether it is taking care of each other when sleeping in the open air or sharing life and death when facing strong enemies, are like a solid foundation, which has completely stabilized the relationship between the two. They know that each other has become an indispensable part of their lives, and no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are in the future, they are willing to go through them hand in hand.

In the square of the Foreign Affairs Hall, the moonlight was like water, casting a silvery white. Two figures, a man and a woman, stood on the back of a crane under the moonlight. The crane slowly descended with a graceful posture. Soon, a well-trained servant stepped forward and respectfully took the crane away.

The two were Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi who had returned to hand in their mission. They had gone through many hardships, and although their clothes were a little messy, they could not hide their determination.

After escaping the encirclement of the monsters, the two traveled downstream for several days. Along the way, the scenery on both sides of the river kept changing, with strange peaks and green trees. They also encountered many monsters, but the strongest was only in the late second stage. Every time they encountered monsters, Shen Yun always took the lead, and Lin Ruyi tacitly assisted on the side.

In the second half of the journey, we did not encounter any half-step third-level monsters like the Devouring Wave Beast, but it was normal to think about it, as this was the territory of the Royal Academy. The Royal Academy was well-known and had strict control over its sphere of influence. Naturally, it would not allow the existence of third-level monsters to avoid threatening the safety of the academy's students and the surrounding peace.

Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi walked through the bustling crowd in the External Affairs Hall and soon found the deacon who had submitted the task to them last time.

"Hello, Deacon, let's submit the task." Shen Yun stepped forward and said politely with a confident smile on his face.

"Oh, you're back so soon?" The deacon raised his head, looked away from the file in his hand, and looked at the two people, with a little surprise in his eyes. But after thinking about it for a while, it was normal. After all, these two people were just students who had just entered the academy. They probably didn't continue after seeing the difficulty of this task. Before them, there were many disciples who were in the same situation. They took on the task ambitiously at the beginning, but when they really faced the difficulties and obstacles, they chose to give up.

The deacon shook his head slightly and sighed inwardly.

"Okay, your mission this time is to clear out the monsters in the waters from Biyun Peak to Shengxian Island. A first-level monster can be exchanged for one point, a second-level early-stage monster can be exchanged for one hundred points, a second-level mid-stage monster can be exchanged for one thousand points, and a second-level late-stage monster can be exchanged for five thousand points. The upper limit of points for this mission is ten thousand points." The deacon folded his hands in front of his chest with a serious expression, and stated the rules of the mission again clearly and in detail.

The two of them were already familiar with the rules. After all, they had made sufficient preparations before setting off, keeping every detail in mind.

Shen Yun thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Master Deacon, what if we kill a half-step third-level monster? Will the rules be different?" There was a hint of anticipation and curiosity in his eyes.

The deacon chuckled upon hearing this. There was a bit of contempt and disapproval in his laughter: "Haha, not to mention that this half-step third-level monster is hard to find, even if you really encounter it by accident, with the strength of the two of you at the sixth level of the foundation-building realm, it would be difficult to escape unscathed, let alone kill it." The deacon shook his head and looked up and down at Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi, "Even this old man dare not say that he can kill a half-step third-level monster lightly."

Shen Yun then noticed that the deacon in front of him looked ordinary, but the aura he exuded was quite powerful, like a deep-sea vortex, restrained and deep. After careful perception, Shen Yun was surprised to find that this deacon was also a ninth-level foundation-building realm being.

Perhaps it was because of his limited aptitude that he encountered many bottlenecks on the road of cultivation and could not break through the key shackles, so he had no choice but to choose to be a deacon here. Shen Yun speculated in his heart.

This is within the scope of Liuyun City. If it were in Liucheng, a ninth-order foundation-building cultivator would be a family ancestor, respected by everyone, and of an extremely high status. But in this Royal Academy, there are so many talented people and strong people, and a ninth-order foundation-building master can only serve as a deacon. It can be seen that the Royal Academy has a deep foundation and is so powerful that it is far beyond the reach of ordinary cities. This also made Shen Yun realize more deeply that in this vast world of cultivation, he is just a small figure who has just started, and the road ahead is still long and full of challenges.
