Chapter 724: Hong Jingtian

The next day!

The mission square was bustling with activity, with most creatures discussing the explosive events of the previous day. However, for many who had not witnessed it firsthand, there was some doubt, but seeing the fervent discussions, they eventually believed it to be true.

"Look at those people, their clothes are so strange." The crowd in the square, seeing a group of creatures approaching in red, white, and blue leather-like outfits, remarked curiously.

"Isn't that the uniform of the Uprising Army?"

"The Uprising Army? Could it be that powerful team from yesterday?"

"Of course. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. The Uprising Army's captain is strong, and even its members are incredibly powerful. Even the Mad Dragon Squad and Sword God Squad combined were no match for them."

...

"Make way, make way. The Uprising Army is here to take on missions. Unrelated persons, please step aside." Zhao Xiaomao, now with his chest puffed out and full of confidence, felt as if he were flying after joining the Uprising Army.

Wherever he went, he was the center of attention.

Those waiting in line, who had witnessed the events of yesterday, quickly stepped aside. In their eyes, the Uprising Army was too powerful to confront.

"Hurry, make way. The Uprising Army is here to take missions. Let them go first."

"Why? This is the Sanctuary, where everyone is equal. No matter how strong the Uprising Army is, if they dare to make a move, the Overseers won't let them off."

"Come on, yesterday the Overseers were taken down. Let them off? No way."

"No way."

"Absolutely true."

The Uprising Army marched in force to the mission window. Zhao Xiaomao raised an eyebrow and said, "We're here to take on missions."

The mission girl at the window looked at these people with a strange expression. She had received orders that the Uprising Army could take missions without collateral. For her, this was an unprecedented exception in the Sanctuary.

After the Uprising Army left,

everyone breathed a sigh of relief. To them, the Uprising Army was terrifying. However, more people wanted to join the Uprising Army, because its strength was evident to all. If they could join, they would have a guarantee of safety.

But just then, a cry of surprise rang out.

"What? All missions above Earth rank are gone?" A creature's face changed, showing disbelief.

"The Uprising Army just took all the Earth-rank missions." The mission girl said helplessly.

This had never happened before. It was simply beastly.

"How can this be? If there are no missions, what can we do?"

"Yeah, no matter how strong the Uprising Army is, they can't take all the missions."

"Can they handle them all?"

"Sigh, let's take missions below Earth rank for now. In two days, when the mission time is up, we can come back."

This news quickly spread to the ears of various squads.

"This Uprising Army has gone too far. Do they think they are gods?"

"What can we do now? Currently, only the Azure Emperor Squad is in the Sanctuary, and Azure Emperor was suppressed by the Uprising Army. We don't know where he is now. We'll have to wait until the Primordial Squad returns."

"They are courting public outrage. The Uprising Army is truly despicable."

When Azure Emperor learned of the Uprising Army's actions, a flicker of anger flashed in his eyes. Then he quietly left the place.

...

At that moment, Lin Fan led the Uprising Army to the square, preparing to go out and carry out missions.

Three hundred Earth-rank missions of varying difficulty. In Lin Fan's view, they were manageable. Completing three hundred missions in two days seemed impossible to others, but Lin Fan thought it was worth a try.

"Benefactor, have we gone too far? These three hundred missions could be the death of us." Said Venerable Shakya.

Venerable Shakya truly didn't know what to say. These were three hundred Earth-rank missions. Even the simplest one would require facing experts at the Divine Heaven rank five or above.

If it were just one mission, it would be fine—easily handled. But completing three hundred missions in two days was simply impossible.

"You never know until you try," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Hum!

At that moment, the light curtain in the square trembled slightly.

"The Primordial小队 is back."

"Looks like the Primordial小队 completed their mission."

"The Primordial小队 took on a Heaven-grade mid-level mission, concerning the Cold Sky Monarch. Now that they're back, doesn't that mean they've suppressed the Cold Sky Monarch?"

"Haha, this should be interesting. I didn't expect the rebel army and the Primordial小队 to run into each other now."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the square tensed up.

At this moment, Lin Fan stopped, and a group of people appeared before him.

Though their auras were restrained, Lin Fan could sense the powerful energy emanating from them.

Hong Jingtian, captain of the Primordial小队, was the strongest in the Guardian Land.

Hong Jingtian's cloak fluttered in the wind, his eyes sharp and imposing; every step he took felt like a mountain bearing down on anyone nearby.

Not only was Hong Jingtian's aura astonishing, but every member of the Primordial小队 was extraordinary, with the lowest cultivation at the Divine Heaven Rank, Seventh Layer, Myriad Laws Return to One Realm.

In the Guardian Land, this was a behemoth.

Everyone held their breath, wondering what would happen if the rebel army clashed with the Primordial小队.

"Hong Jingtian, release me!"

A furious roar drew everyone's attention.

"That's the Cold Sky Monarch."

The Cold Sky Monarch was now a pitiful sight: both arms severed, wounds wrapped in a layer of magical power that seemed to suppress him, preventing regeneration.

"Hmph!"

Hong Jingtian snorted coldly, and a golden glowing seal burst from his mouth, spinning and penetrating into the Cold Sky Monarch's body.

Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions sounded from within the Cold Sky Monarch's body.

In an instant, the Cold Sky Monarch's aura wilted, as if severely wounded.

Then, Hong Jingtian stopped beside Lin Fan and looked at him calmly.

Lin Fan raised his head slightly, a hint of a smile on his lips, and met Hong Jingtian's gaze.

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from both of them. The crowd's expressions changed, as if a thousand pounds of pressure weighed on them; their faces turned pale, and they struggled to breathe.

"How long do you think this guy can last under the captain's pressure?" a seductive female member of the Primordial小队 said, looking at Lin Fan with interest.

"Three breaths."

"I'm not so sure."

...

Time ticked by.

Their auras grew stronger, then, as if by mutual agreement, gradually dissipated.

The Primordial小队 members were incredulous; they hadn't expected this guy to be completely unaffected, as if nothing had happened.

"So you're Lin Fan of the rebel army, as mentioned by Qing Huang." Hong Jingtian's voice was loud and commanding, each word striking Lin Fan's ears like thunder.

"That's right," Lin Fan said calmly.

"Your strength is decent, but that's all. The Guardian Land is under the protection of my Primordial小队. If you behave, you'll be safe. If not..." Hong Jingtian said sternly.

Hearing this, the crowd rejoiced inwardly; it seemed they could still rely on the Primordial小队.

He had been stealing the spotlight too much; if he wasn't put in his place, it just wouldn't do.
