"That is the Mission Area. Every day, we send out expert teams to patrol the villages, looking for merchant caravans that need protection or want to trade. They bring them here. The signs indicate their caravan size, rewards, departure points, destinations, and other information. Everyone can take what they need and trade fairly. If you two have a fixed destination in mind, it will be easier to choose a caravan with a specific goal. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Hua Ruhai was extremely enthusiastic. Although he had already "lured" the two into Little Valley, his attitude remained consistent.
"Uh," Wang Long thought they certainly did not have a fixed destination. Their biggest headache now was not knowing where Shunshen was hiding in the Northern Qian Mountain Range. At this moment, he couldn't really say much. "We actually just want to enter the Northern Qian Mountain Range first; we haven't planned how to proceed yet. Do you have any good recommendations, Brother Hua?"
"This is even better!" Hua Ruhai once again showed that gleaming look in his eyes. "Uh, what I mean is that no matter what difficulties you face, just come to us. Besides, Brother Cai is a senior expert of the Holy Divine Gate, so we should prioritize him. Actually, our Iron Ridge Sect has recently taken on a big mission. We were somewhat worried about our strength being insufficient, but now with Elder Cai Burin and your addition, Brother Wang, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger!"
Hua Ruhai could not see through Wang Long's true strength, but judging by his age, he assumed he was a disciple of Cai Burin, so he did not pay too much attention to him and focused on Cai Burin instead.
"Is that so?" Wang Long pondered that although he claimed to lack strength, since it was a mission for their own people, it probably wouldn't be too dangerous. He nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, we have no objections; please introduce us to the specifics."
"Great! Follow me; I'll take you to meet your clients and partners. Hehe, I hope we can cooperate happily!"
Many people in Little Valley were brought in by Hua Ruhai. Even those who weren't familiar with him were well aware of his reputation. This was the first time they saw warriors lured by him receiving such courteous treatment. One by one, they cast curious glances at Wang Long and Cai Burin. Some seemed to have already recognized Cai Burin's identity.
Fortunately, there were no members of the Holy Divine Gate here; otherwise, given the current tense relationship between Cai Burin and his sect, it might have caused some trouble.
Regarding these "lower-tier" warriors, Hua Ruhai maintained an arrogant attitude and didn't even glance at them as he led Wang Long and Cai Burin through the crowd while explaining.
"This time, we are transporting a large batch of goods from Fire Mountain City to Feather City, stopping at several small villages along the way for some trade. Recently, Fire Mountain City has also caught the attention of the Demon Clan, suffering significant losses. With the warriors on alert, they simply can't spare many people to protect this batch of goods, which is why they turned to us. However, as you know, our Iron Ridge Sect is quite popular throughout the entire Northern Qian Mountain Range, so we can't pull all our main forces back. Therefore, I will lead the team directly to assist them. I was very worried before, but now with both of you joining us, I feel much more at ease.
"Oh? You're leading the team yourself? Don't you need to recruit more clients?"
"Ahem! Brother Wang, you're quite the jokester! They come here because we provide convenience for everyone; let's not make it seem like we're gaining too much from this~~~ Of course, we have invested a lot of effort and provided this place for everyone. So we will take a small portion from your mission rewards; I trust you won't mind?"
Wang Long smiled and shook his head. Despite his polite words, he was certain that the extraction ratio they had would be quite unfair. However, at this moment, very few of the experts who came here were doing so for the sake of wealth; their main goal was to enter the Northern Qian Mountain Range without raising suspicion. As for the fee, they probably just accepted it as a toll. If the Evil Extermination Sect and other sects realized that their hard work in blocking this area only benefited clever smaller sects like the Iron Ridge Sect, they would surely feel frustrated.
When they arrived at a relatively tidy mountain cabin deep in the Valley, a group of people was already waiting there.
"Master Hua Ruhai, you seem to be a bit slow. We have already wasted two days here. If we delay any longer, even if we eventually find powerful help, the Lord of the City will blame me," said a short, plump old man dressed like a local tycoon as he rushed up to Hua Ruhai to express his grievances.
Wang Long raised an eyebrow and noticed Mr. Fan's choice of words—within the divine race, only those with elder-level strength were addressed as "Lord."
"Cough, Mr. Fan, please don't be anxious. Powerful help is right here! I have already found them, and we can set off immediately," Hua Ruhai replied.
"That's wonderful!" Mr. Fan finally noticed Wang Long and Cai Burin behind him. "You two look like experts; your strength should not be beneath Master Hua Ruhai's, right?"
"Mr. Fan, are you doubting me? Do you think I would casually bring in two random people? This Mr. Cai Burin is quite famous in the divine realm; he is an elder-level expert of the Holy Divine Gate! Just his presence alone should ensure your safety along the way!"
"Oh!" Mr. Fan exclaimed in surprise and immediately approached Cai Burin with outstretched hands, saying warmly, "So it's Elder Cai! Haha, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Cai Burin snorted coldly in his heart but knew that important matters took precedence, so he extended his hand to shake Mr. Fan's.
Suddenly! A strong hidden force surged from Mr. Fan's palm!
Cai Burin's brow twitched; he hadn't expected this seemingly subservient old man to be a concealed expert!
However, if this was all he had to offer, Cai Burin truly did not take him seriously!
When!
The long sword's hilt struck the ground, and suddenly a fierce aura emanated from Cai Burin, filling the entire room. Mr. Fan, who had been testing him, suddenly felt his own power being drawn back into himself, causing him to retreat two steps in fright, his eyes wide with horror.
Upon witnessing this display from Cai Burin, everyone in the room, except for Wang Long, including Hua Ruhai, who had already confirmed his identity, showed signs of surprise.
"Hahaha, great! This is truly wonderful!" Mr. Fan's face lit up with excitement. "With a master like Elder Cai here, who would still care about those petty thieves or beasts? Elder Cai, please rest assured regarding the price..."
"Ahem, Mr. Fan, weren't you just saying that time is very tight? Now that we've confirmed Elder Cai's strength is sufficient, I think we shouldn't delay and should discuss as we walk," Hua Ruhai quickly interjected, not daring to let them know the real price.
"Alright then, Elder Cai, let's hurry up. Is that alright with you?" Mr. Fan's eyes were now solely focused on Cai Burin, completely ignoring Wang Long.
"Hehe, I certainly couldn't ask for more!"
Seeing the smug look from Cai Burin directed at him, Wang Long could only smile wryly. Well, in this situation, it was better to keep a low profile.
