In a throne room, an old man wearing a black hooded robe sat on a throne, and his eyes stared at the man kneeling in front of him. He then took out some black pearls and handed them to the man. "My Emperor ordered you to plant all these black pearls in several villages, because he needs the life energy of those lowly humans."
The kneeling man received the black pearls, and he looked at the old man in shock. "But what if she finds out about our actions, Elder?"
"You don't have to think about her." The old man then waved his hand, and soon a man in a black hooded robe appeared in front of them, and there was a terrible beast under the man. "You go and help him plant the pearls in several villages."
The black hooded man just nodded at him, and he then walked out with the beast beneath him. The kneeling man also nodded in agreement, he then followed him out of the throne room.
After they left, the old man laughed horribly. "Hehehe! Sooner or later, this southern continent will fall into our hands, and we will be able to leave that barren continent!"
After that, the throne room became quiet again, after the old man disappeared from the place.

As Xia Tian and Mo Xiaoqi exited the Formation Array Hall, they passed Yun Feng and the other two. He then asked them. "So do you guys want to find a group mission?"
"Yes, we're going to Mission Hall now." Yun Feng then showed him a formation. "Anyway, I went to my big sister to ask this from her, Brother Xia. Although it's just a simple protective formation, it can at least protect us in case anything unexpected happens."
Xia Tian took the formation, and he observed it for a moment. He then nodded in satisfaction, as the formation was strong enough to protect them from Earth Rank Beasts. He was also satisfied with Yun Feng's mindset, because he could understand their weakness, and he could also think far for their safety. After that, he returned it to him and said. "Since Little Qi and I don't have any other activities, so we will also come with the three of you."
"That's great, Brother Xia!" Yun Feng exclaimed excitedly.
After that, the five of them went to the Mission Hall, and they looked for a suitable group mission for them. Since they were only inner disciples, so they couldn't take on missions beyond Tier A, because missions above Tier A were only for core disciples.
After they searched for a while, Xia Tian found a suitable mission for them. He then took the mission paper and gave it to Yun Feng. "We will take this mission, Yun Feng."
"Are you sure you want to take on this mission, Brother Xia?" Yun Feng asked in astonishment, as it was a Tier A mission with the highest rewards. He felt that the mission was not easy, because they had to capture three Iron Boars of Gold Rank Beasts, and they were on par with Peak Core Formation Realm cultivators.
Huo Jun and Ling Chen also looked at Xia Tian in confusion, as they still didn't know his true cultivation, and among them only Mo Xiaoqi was already at the Peak Core Formation Realm.
Xia Tian smiled at them, he then patted Yun Feng on the shoulder. "As cultivators, we must continuously improve our abilities. And for that, we need opponents who are higher than us, so I think that the Iron Boars will be suitable opponents for us. Moreover, Little Qi can defeat them easily."
"En." Mo Xiaoqi nodded in agreement, she herself had been training hard to improve her physique and abilities, and she even followed his strenuous training to do so.
After thinking about it for some time, Yun Feng and the other two nodded in agreement. "But before that, we must find a healer, Brother Xia. Otherwise, Elder Yang will not agree to this mission."
"A healer, huh?" Xia Tian thought for a moment, and he suddenly saw a woman walking in the other direction. "Okay! I've found our healer."
After he said that, Xia Tian immediately disappeared from before them, and left the three people dumbfounded.

Xia Tian sighed softly, and he grabbed her by the shoulder. "Are you angry with me, Little Wu? Because of me, you and your family were banished from the Zhu Kingdom."
Xia Wu found it strange to hear him address her as Little Wu, because they had never been close before, but now he called her that. Moreover, she was actually older than him too. She then took a deep breath and shook his head. "Although I'm sad because of it, but I never blamed you for it, Cousin Tian. If my father hadn't attacked you back then, none of this would have happened to us."
"Anyway, I heard that you became a disciple of Yao Mei, so you are also a healer, right?" Xia Tian gently asked.
"En." Xia Wu nodded to him. "But I haven't been her disciple for too long, so my medical ability is still low, Cousin Tian."
Xia Tian smiled upon hearing that. He then touched her forehead and gave her a medical technique.
Xia Wu was stunned for a moment, she then read the technique that appeared in her mind. Before long, she looked at Xia Tian in shock, because the medical technique was much better than Yao Mei's. "Cousin Tian, that-"
Xia Tian put his index finger to her lips, and he shook his head. "You don't need to say anything, Little Wu. Think of it as my apology to you, and you'll be able to become an expert healer in the future."
Xia Wu blushed to feel Xia Tian's finger on her lips, and her heart pounding hard. She then nodded and softly said. "Thank you, Cousin Tian."
"For now, I want you to come with me, Little Wu. Because my friends and I want to take on a group mission, and we need a healer." Without waiting for her answer, Xia Tian immediately grabbed Xia Wu's hand, and he took her away with him.
Xia Wu's face blushed even more at his actions, but she had no intention of withdrawing her hand, and she followed him into the Mission Hall.
