Chapter 394: A Moment of Crisis, a Call to Action

This time, 70% of the mission was completed by you. If they don't give you more rewards, there's no need to collaborate with them anymore."The millstone is very clear about who its communicator is."Ca..."According to feedback from the personnel on site, they said that a black fog rose there once, and then the entrance to the cemetery disappeared. They believed this was beyond their capabilities and truthfully reported it to the bureau."

We also contacted the Sorcerer's Association, and they sent two people to investigate the scene. However, these two individuals also disappeared, leaving a message that pointed to Master Wu.

Feng finished speaking and handed a photo to Lianyi.

The ripples passed, and upon closer inspection, it was a photo on a talisman paper. Three characters were written on the talisman paper, her name.

"This is obviously aimed at Master Wu, but we can't abandon our teammates. We believe Master Wu wouldn't want to give up his companions either, so we contacted you directly."

I never go into a battle unprepared, and this time the other party is clearly targeting me. I also need to get some friends to help.

Ripple said calmly.

"Okay, Master Wu, please feel free to let us know what you need. We will prepare it as soon as possible."

Ripple nodded, then dialed Honglian's number.

"Hong Lian, I'm having some trouble here. Zhang Zhan has also disappeared. Could you please come over and help me"

"Oh Who has the guts to target you That's why I couldn't get in touch with little Zhang recently, turns out they tried to sabotage him. Where are you now I'll come find you."

Honglian was still bathing when she received a call from Lianyi. She immediately got out of the bath, changed her clothes as quickly as possible, put on her equipment, and went straight to the police station to meet with Lianyi.

Ripple's second phone call was to the monk Wuxiu:

"Master Wuyou, I have taken on a mission, but I can't complete it alone. I hope you could come and lend a hand. The reward is that piece of Xiayun Spirit Jade. What do you think"

"Helping is no problem, but Wuyou doesn't want to take what others love."

"This mission is rather dangerous. Since Master Wuyou has taken on the risk, there should naturally be a reward. That spirit jade belongs to the Master."

Since Master Wu has said so, Wuyu should not refuse any further. Where shall we meet

I have sent the address to Master Wuyou. If you are ready, we can meet here directly.

Okay.

Without a moment's hesitation, she readily agreed and hung up the phone. She was ready to head straight to the police station as soon as possible.

Ripple pondered for a moment, then sent another message on her phone. She then said to Fengfeng:

"Get the car ready, when the two of them arrive, we'll head to the scene."

"Master Wu readily agreed."

Feng immediately picked up the internal phone and began to arrange personnel.

An hour later, ripples were greeted by Honglian, who was wearing a red tight-fitting tracksuit. After greeting Ripples, Honglian began to look over the materials.

Then Wuyou arrived as well. He was still dressed in his usual gray monk's robes, his shiny bald head the most striking feature.

"Amitabha Buddha! It turns out that Master Hong Lian is also here to help. It seems like we need to be more careful with this mission."

With a carefree smile, Wuyou clasped his hands together in greeting and bowed to the two before speaking.

“So it’s Master Wuyou, and even Lian Yi’s face is big enough to bring you here.”

"Even Wuyou is just an ordinary person. He only came to help because he received payment from Master Wu."

Worry-free simply and openly stated it.

"Anything that can make you carefree and heartwarming must be a good treasure. When the mission is over, let me get a glimpse of it too."

Hong Lian was very measured, only saying that she wanted to experience it after completing the mission.

Both Lianyi and Wuyou didn't refuse. After everyone was gathered and they understood the situation, the three of them unanimously believed that this was a sorcerer's trick, aiming to lure Lianyi into a trap using the investigators. As for what Lianyi would face after going there, they could only find out when she arrived.

"Let's go!"

Three people left their city in a vehicle arranged by the local government late at night, heading towards the deep mountains bordering the neighboring city.

Halfway through the night, the car reached the foot of the mountain and had to stop because there was no road for vehicles to continue climbing. We had to walk the rest of the way up.

"Master Wu, this is as far as I can take you. There are people waiting for you halfway up the mountain. They were unable to rescue their colleagues and were too afraid to act rashly. They also couldn't bear to leave, so they stayed put."

I have contacted them, they are waiting for you at the original location. If possible, please arrange them with Master Wu.

The driver whispered a request.

Ripples understood his meaning and didn't want more people to go missing, so she asked her to persuade the others to come down.

We understand, just relax! As long as they don't enter a specific area, I'll persuade them to withdraw first.

Ripple pledged.

Immediately, the monk Wuyou led the way and the three began their ascent. In a few moments, they disappeared from the driver's sight. The driver didn't leave though, a cigarette dangling from his lips, he started waiting anxiously.

The three of them were in great shape and had climbed to the halfway point in an hour and a half. Then, they were stopped by a man in camouflage clothing.

"Please return, this is a dangerous area and you should not enter freely."

Ripples pulled out her mage's badge and displayed it to the other party before speaking.

"We are the tasked mages, take us to see the scene."

The camouflaged man hesitated for a moment, but Lian Ri directly took out a satellite phone from her backpack and dialed Feng Feng's landline. She then handed the phone to him.

"Yes, I'm Qian Shun, on patrol, preventing anyone from trespassing! Yes, there are three of them. Okay, I'll do my best to cooperate with them."

The man in camouflage received a phone call and kept answering the person on the other end. After three minutes, he ended the call and handed the satellite phone back to Ripples. Then he said:

"Please, three masters, follow me!"

Three people followed Qianshun to their camp. The guards on duty immediately gathered around when they saw Qianshun bring in a man and two women. Before anyone could ask anything, Lianyi stepped forward with a smile and said:

"I am Wu Lianyi!"

"Are you a mage"

Someone immediately asked across from him.

"Yes!"

Then, what's the trap for you here

The man at the front frowned and asked.

Perhaps, it's unclear at the moment. We'll have to wait and see.

Her eyes rippled with a flash, gazing at the black mist ahead. Her expression immediately hardened as she spoke directly:

Now, you leave here immediately and rendezvous with the people at the foot of the mountain!

But Wu Yong and the others are still trapped inside. We haven't been able to rescue them."

Before Qian Shun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hong Lian.

"I know you're worried about your companions, but this isn't the time to be brave. Turn back and look."

The man in front immediately turned around and involuntarily took two steps back because the black mist was spreading towards them. It was this same black mist that had caused the entrance to the cemetery to disappear before.

"Don't dawdle, leave quickly. This isn't something you can handle."

Ripple drew on his Xuan Qi to paint talismans in mid-air, striking the surging black mist. Hong Lian pulled a jade talisman from her waist pouch, activated it with Xuan Qi, and also threw it into the black mist. Wuyu the monk directly took out a Buddha bead, imbued with golden light, and struck the edge of the black mist.

Three people working together stopped the black mist from spreading quickly.

"We're withdrawing!"

The man at the front immediately issued an order, now was not the time to be reckless. They couldn't help and shouldn't add trouble for the three masters, becoming a drag.

In less than three minutes, fifteen people immediately left the base.

"Let's go in and see who's put on such a big show to greet us!"en said:"Last time you said to find some materials that could carry your power so you could carve small magic circles. I found some, and they'll be here shortly. You can try them all out and tell me w...
