Qin Han Chu and the others waited quietly at the border.
Once the harassment group made their move, there would definitely be sounds of battle.
At that time, they would have to rush over as quickly as possible.
"Remember not to get entangled in fights. As long as we cross the border at the fastest speed, we will have completed the mission."
As soon as Xiaolin finished speaking, the terrifying residual power of battle erupted from the border.
Following that, more than ten beams of light shot towards the distance.
As these people left, over twenty more chased after them.
"Let's go!"
With Xiaolin's command, Qin Han Chu and the others immediately charged towards the border.
Just as they were about to reach the enemy border, dozens of people suddenly rushed out from both sides.
Clearly, these people had been prepared.
As long as someone attempted to breach the border, they would swiftly reinforce from the flanks.
"Fight for yourselves!" Seeing this, Xiaolin said resolutely.
Qin Han Chu immediately transmitted a message to Axian and the other two: "Stay close. If it gets too bad, I'll use the Mu Qing Sword."
Axian and the other two nodded. In this situation, they could only rely on themselves.
There were at least forty opponents. If they were intercepted, it would be dangerous.
To survive, everyone unleashed their maximum speed.
Among them, several possessed escape techniques that allowed them to move incredibly fast.
Although Qin Han Chu couldn't use the Lightning Escape, his full speed was not the slowest.
Axian stayed close to Qin Han Chu, while Patriarch Baili and Dragon Lord flew ahead of Qin Han Chu and Axian using their escape techniques.
Although they were Qin Han Chu's teammates, they were not truly aligned with him.
In such a perilous moment, they would naturally prioritize their own safety.
Even though they knew Qin Han Chu had trump cards, under the siege of over forty people, even with a trump card, Qin Han Chu wouldn't have a great chance of winning.
Precisely because of this, they accelerated their pace.
Axian could actually fly faster, but as Qin Han Chu's wife, she chose to stay by his side.
Even if danger arose, she would face it with Qin Han Chu.
From afar, over ten enemy martial artists had blocked their path.
If they were delayed, the pursuers from the sides would encircle them.
Qin Han Chu said to Axian, "I can't hide the Mu Qing Sword anymore. Otherwise, we won't be able to break through."
"Yes, let's get through this hurdle first," Axian nodded.
With a wave of his hand, the Mu Qing Sword appeared in Qin Han Chu's grasp.
At this moment, the Mu Qing Sword had not yet been activated, so others did not notice it.
As they approached the enemy lines, Qin Han Chu unleashed the full power of the Mu Qing Sword.
Fueled by the Life and Death Sword Scripture, the Mu Qing Sword exuded a terrifying aura.
Although this sword strike did not reach the Immortal Venerable level, it surpassed ninety-nine percent of the Immortal King realm.
Both the blocking soldiers ahead and Xiaolin and the others were stunned.
Boom!
Under Qin Han Chu's terrifying attack, the more than ten blocking soldiers ahead had their formation thoroughly disrupted.
Xiaolin and the others also seized the opportunity to strike, forcing the defending soldiers back.
Whoosh, whoosh...
Dragon Lord and Patriarch Baili were the first to break through the blockade.
Qin Han Chu and Axian followed closely behind.
Xiaolin and her few teammates also passed through.
However, two of Xiaolin's teammates were too slow and were intercepted by the alerted soldiers.
To survive for the moment, they had no choice but to turn back and fly towards the rear.
Even if they could escape back into the enemy's territory, they could not be surrounded in their current position.
The enemies on the flanks immediately dispatched five people to pursue Xiaolin's two teammates, while the rest turned their attention to Qin Han Chu and the others.
Qin Han Chu sheathed the Mu Qing Sword and then flew at full speed.
Facing the attacks from behind, they could only fly and dodge rapidly.
Splash, splash...
In the blink of an eye, they had crossed the river at the border.
At that moment, the guards of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion rose into the air.
"Go any further, and don't blame us for being impolite," the leader of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion guards said coldly.
Hearing this, the pursuing soldiers could only reluctantly stop.
No one had expected that Qin Han Chu possessed such a terrifying immortal artifact!
With the enhancement of that immortal artifact, Qin Han Chu possessed the strength to crush those of the same realm.
The defensive line of over ten enemy soldiers had been breached.
If not for Qin Han Chu's terrifying strike, Xiaolin and the others would absolutely not have been able to pass so easily.
Originally, out of ten people, it would have been good if two or three had managed to escape.
But because of Qin Han Chu's presence, only two were intercepted.
Xiaolin and the others felt lingering fear.
Their gazes towards Qin Han Chu were complex.
Although Qin Han Chu had saved them, the powerful immortal artifact in his possession stirred greed and desire.
To unleash such potent power, it was definitely an immortal artifact beyond the mid-tier.
High-grade immortal artifacts were meant for experts at the Immortal Saint level!
If they obtained this high-grade immortal artifact, it could fetch at least one hundred thousand Law Crystals.
With so many Law Crystals, they could purchase resources to strive for the Immortal Venerable realm.
Despite their covetous thoughts, they dared not make a move rashly.
Based on the combat power Qin Han Chu had displayed earlier, they were not capable of easily defeating him.
Furthermore, Qin Han Chu had three helpers by his side.
Seeing the enemy retreat, the leader of the guards turned his gaze to Qin Han Chu: "What grade is your immortal artifact?"
"Mid-grade," Qin Han Chu replied casually.
Although the others did not believe him, they had no right to question further.
They were all Immortal Kings, who cared about whom?
Xiaolin thanked the guards and then led her group away.
Before long, the members of the harassment group also caught up.
The members of the harassment group had looks of shock on their faces.
As they were fleeing, they had already sensed a large number of enemy forces closing in.
They had expected Xiaolin and the others to suffer heavy losses, but surprisingly, only two were missing.
"Let's return to the city to submit the mission," Xiaolin said.
The group said nothing more and headed towards the city together.
Along the way, Qin Han Chu and the other three stayed together.
The mission had not yet been truly completed, so Xiaolin and the others would not violate the oath-bound contract.
And once they returned to the city, they would not dare to disobey the city's rules and act against Qin Han Chu.
This meant that Qin Han Chu was safe for now.
Upon returning to Ancient Dao City, Qin Han Chu and the others waited together in a tavern.
About an hour later, Xiaolin returned.
According to the agreement, the collection group received three thousand Law Crystals, and the harassment group received two thousand Law Crystals.
Although this expedition was perilous, the rewards were indeed substantial.
Earning three thousand in just over two months was far better than phone immortal medicine or mining.
Last time, it had taken them three years to earn five hundred.
Indeed, high risk yielded high rewards.
"Leave your transmission jade slips behind. If there are similar missions in the future, I'll contact you," Xiaolin said.
Qin Han Chu and the other three said nothing more and directly gave their transmission jade slips to Xiaolin.
"The four of you, don't leave just yet. I have something to tell you."
As they exchanged transmission jade slips, Xiaolin transmitted a message.
After completing the transaction of Law Crystals and jade slips, the others departed.
