594: Chapter 594 Zhao Qingyun!!

Jiang Yunyan is a Disciple from their North Courtyard, holding the same status as her—a Special Grade Disciple.

Moreover, among the Special Grade Disciples, Jiang Yunyan's strength is ranked among the best; he has already comprehended Second-Rank Sword Intent, and his strength is unfathomable.

"That's not all. The most crucial part is that beside him, I also saw those two Prodigies from the East Courtyard, Lin Ruoxi and Su Qingwan!" Lu Qingshan lowered his voice to say.

Lin Ruoxi!

Su Qingwan!

Upon hearing these two names, the few people present all revealed a look of solemnity in their eyes.

Lin Ruoxi, Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, possesses multiple Dao Perfection Sword Intents, and her strength is unfathomable; Su Qingwan, the proud daughter of the Book Sect, is a Mental Energy Cultivator with over 400 Hz of Mental Energy, and her methods are eerie and unpredictable.

These two are both people who have cleared the Heavenly Ladder!

Those who clear the Heavenly Ladder are the most elite existences among the New Students of this generation in the Taixuan Holy Land; they are true Prodigies.

Among the few present, perhaps only Yin Li and Huang Jiuli could face the two women in a direct battle.

That's right, Yin Li is also someone who has cleared the Heavenly Ladder—though she cleared the Heavenly Ladder of the West Courtyard.

The West Courtyard's Heavenly Ladder, like the East Courtyard's, has 999 levels, with equivalent difficulty.

Those who can clear it are no ordinary people.

Although Huang Jiuli cleared it later, she is still a bona fide clearer of the Heavenly Ladder.

As for Lu Qingshan and Yun Qingge, while their strength is not weak, compared to those who have cleared the Heavenly Ladder, there is still a certain gap.

"Actually, it is normal for Lin Ruoxi to take on this mission," Yin Li said calmly.

"The Qingyun City we are currently in belongs to the Great Yan Kingdom. And the Great Yan Kingdom belongs to the Great Xia Dynasty. Lin Ruoxi is a Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty; coming here can be said to be returning to her own territory. When the time comes to block the Vicious Beast tide, she will certainly have an advantage."

The group heard this and nodded.

Yin Li's words made sense.

"Qingshan, who else is in Lin Ruoxi's team?" Yin Li continued to ask.

Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and continued, "There is also Xiao Tianci from the East Courtyard and Chu Yunshu from the West Courtyard."

Xiao Tianci is a Special Grade Disciple of the East Courtyard, and he belongs to the elite among the Special Grade Disciples.

Although he is not a clearer of the Heavenly Ladder, his strength definitely cannot be underestimated.

Chu Yunshu is also a Special Grade Disciple of the West Courtyard, and his strength is equally formidable.

This team is a strong team!

Lin Ruoxi, Su Qingwan, Jiang Yunyan, Xiao Tianci, and Chu Yunshu—among the five, two are clearers of the Heavenly Ladder, and the other three are also Special Grade Disciples.

Its overall strength is not a bit inferior to the team Qin Yan is in!

This is also a powerful team that has the hope of charging into the top ten of the Inner Court assessment!

The few people immediately made this judgment in their hearts.

One must know that among the four Outer Courts of this generation of the Taixuan Holy Land, there are only 20 people in total who passed the Heavenly Ladder assessment!

The East Courtyard is the most formidable, accounting for 8 people—originally there were only seven, but some time ago, Huang Jiuli had a Breakthrough in her Cultivation Technique and successfully cleared the Heavenly Ladder, so now there are eight.

The other three courtyards combined only have a total of twelve people.

If a team possesses multiple clearers of the Heavenly Ladder, then their chances of entering the top ten will be greatly increased.

After all, those who clear the Heavenly Ladder are the existences with the strongest comprehensive abilities; with them present, the team's foundation is guaranteed.

Of course, Qin Yan is an exception.

Among all the clearers of the Heavenly Ladder, Qin Yan's strength is definitely the lowest.

Although he is also a clearer of the Heavenly Ladder, his Realm is the lowest, and compared to those true Prodigies, there is still a considerable gap.

"It's fine. This mission is to snipe the Vicious Beast tide; there is no such thing as stealing missions. Whoever kills more will obtain more taixuan points," Qin Yan said.

"Qin Yan is right," Yin Li nodded. "However, everyone remember, when hunting Vicious Beasts, safety first; do not be too aggressive or reckless. A Vicious Beast tide is different from ordinary battles; the number of Vicious Beasts is too high. Once trapped in a siege, even a Grandmaster might not be able to retreat unscathed."

"Understood," the few nodded one after another.

"Since that is the case, let us set off now, head to the City Lord's Mansion, and collect our mission tokens," Huang Jiuli said.

The mission token is the key to this Vicious Beast hunt.

The City Lord's Mansion's mission token only has one function—to record the number of Vicious Beasts killed.

When the time comes, the Holy Land will deposit taixuan points into their tokens based on the number of Vicious Beasts they killed.

These taixuan points are not given by the City Lord's Mansion, but by the Holy Land.

The Taixuan Holy Land has cooperation and connections with various forces in the Taixuan Realm.

As long as they complete the mission, the mission information from the City Lord's Mansion side will almost synchronize to the Holy Land, and the taixuan points will quickly be given to their tokens.

The entire process is efficient and convenient; they do not need to worry about it extra.

...

The City Lord's Mansion, assembly hall.

At this moment, there are only two people in the large room.

A middle-aged man and a young woman.

The middle-aged man is burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a resolute face, and a hint of majesty between his brows.

He wears a deep cyan robe with the symbol of the City Lord's Mansion embroidered on the hem, and his whole body exudes the aura of a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster.

This person is none other than the City Lord of Qingyun City—Zhao Qingyun.

The woman sits in the main seat, wearing a light purple long dress with exquisite cloud patterns embroidered on the hem.

Her long hair is like a waterfall, gently pinned up with a purple jade hairpin, with a few strands of dark hair hanging by her ears.

Her face is exquisite, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her nose bridge straight and elegant, and her lips like cherry blossoms.

The most eye-catching thing is her temperament—noble, cold, and graceful, as if she has an innate aura of a superior, making people involuntarily feel awe.

Moreover, waves of faint Sword Intent naturally diffuse, like an invisible aura field, shrouding the entire hall.

This woman is none other than Lin Ruoxi.

At this moment, Zhao Qingyun is looking at the woman in front of him with a respectful expression.

"Your Highness, this is the token you requested."

Zhao Qingyun respectfully handed over five tokens with both hands.

The tokens are bronze-colored, palm-sized, with the characters "Qingyun" engraved on the front, and complex Formation patterns on the back, with energy faintly flowing within them.

Subsequently, she asked, "How are the matters I asked you to investigate?"

Zhao Qingyun respectfully said, "Your Highness, it has already been investigated. This is the information on the Holy Land Disciples who have recently appeared in Qingyun City."

After saying this, he took out a Jade Slip and handed it over with both hands.

Lin Ruoxi took the Jade Slip and sank her Mental Energy into it.

Inside the Jade Slip, information on the Taixuan Holy Land Disciples who had entered Qingyun City in the last few days was densely recorded—name, Disciple Rank, strength assessment... everything was complete.

Her gaze swept across the list quickly, and she suddenly paused slightly.

"Eh? A bit interesting; I didn't expect that in the small Qingyun City, there is actually a strong team."

Obviously, Lin Ruoxi had discovered the existence of Qin Yan and the others.

Very quickly, Lin Ruoxi finished reading the contents of the Jade Slip.
