[ Do you choose to accept? ]

——Accept!

Chu Xuan did not hesitate at all and directly made his choice. This was something he had already planned out, and the appearance of the exclusive mission was equivalent to a free handout.

"Fellow Daoists, since I have already shouldered the great responsibility of Alliance Leader, I will make a promise to you all: within three days, we will overthrow the Great Cang Dynasty and annihilate the Four Great Sects!"

As Chu Xuan spoke loudly, the surrounding area once again erupted with sounds like a tsunami of cheers, especially among the mountains and buildings below.

The Martial Artists there were not high in Rank, but their emotions were extremely high-spirited.

"Since that is the case, let us set off immediately!"

With a wave of Chu Xuan's big hand, he pointed at the remaining two Protectors, Xuanchen and Chili, as well as the still-surviving Twelve Hall Envoys and Thirty-Six Patrolling Captains, ordering them to regroup their forces.

Chu Xuan knew that among these upper echelons of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, quite a few were moles planted and lurking by the Shendao Sect and the Four Great Sects.

In such an environment, even if the remaining people were not moles, they all had their own thoughts. There was no loyalty to speak of; they were entirely driven by interests, each harboring their own motives.

But Chu Xuan did not care. They were all just tools and expendable consumables.

By continuously using [ Peeping Fate ] this time, Chu Xuan had already wasted quite a bit of time.

In order to walk the future path he had initially foreseen and avoid causing too many changes, Chu Xuan worked intensively without saying any more morale-boosting words, and soon led many Heavenly Dao Alliance Martial Artists to leave the Secret Realm.

During this period, Yunling, Qingdai, and Ziwan came together with remorseful expressions, wanting to say something to Chu Xuan as if they wanted to explain themselves.

With that pitiful appearance, had it been the real Zhou Fan, he probably would have tangled with them for a bit. Then, after the three women recklessly braved danger for Zhou Fan and made some self-sacrificing moves, he would have cleared up the misunderstanding and reconciled with them.

But Chu Xuan had no interest whatsoever and directly waved them away, making them join the expeditionary force to become the strength to resist the subsequent attacks from the four sects' Martial Artists.

At this moment, Qi Feier's face was covered in tears. After gazing from afar for a while, she finally walked over:

"Zhou Fan, until now I finally understand that I misunderstood everything about you. I was deceived by the fake Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun... Everyone else only sees your glamour and strength, but only I know how not easy it was for you to walk to this step today."

"Perhaps it was precisely because of my ruthless words to you that you were stimulated to achieve such accomplishments. I know you must hate me to the core..."

Qi Feier held a sword horizontally across her neck, tears welling up in her eyes and falling wildly like broken pearls: "Zhou Fan, it is all my fault. I know I can no longer make up for the harm done to you...

"I do not ask to continue our predestined relationship with you; I only ask for this death, hoping you can forgive me!"

Amidst her words, traces of blood had already seeped out from Qi Feier's neck. She gazed affectionately at Chu Xuan, looking like she was about to commit suicide by slitting her throat immediately.

Under normal circumstances, the real Zhou Fan would definitely have stopped her, and might even have directly chosen to forgive her, followed by a passionate confession to Qi Feier.

After all, Qi Feier herself said that all of this was due to the deception of the "fake Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun", and it was not that she truly wanted to abandon Zhou Fan.

But Chu Xuan did not; instead, he stared straight at her.

Until the scene became slightly awkward, the corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. He slowly walked forward and raised his hand to push aside the long sword at her neck.

Unlike directly ignoring those three women, facing Qi Feier, Chu Xuan made no attempt to hide a trace of mockery in his eyes, but spoke affectionately with his mouth:

"Feier, you are the only remaining goodness in this world, how could I bear to blame you? Even just considering the sake of Lord Mingzhen, no matter what you do to me, you are still my closest person..."

Although Chu Xuan's contact with the dead Zhou Fan was short, he had long since discovered that the other party seemed arrogant in temperament and lacked no kind heart, but in reality, he possessed extraordinary intelligence, lofty ambitions, and was extremely dark-bellied, with a very strong sense of purpose in everything he did.

For instance, befriending this Qi Feier and promising her a marriage engagement—Qi Feier's beauty was only secondary; more importantly, he valued the identity of Lord Mingzhen back then, hoping to hug a powerful thigh and soar into the sky.

Otherwise, with Zhou Fan's consistent style toward any woman—never refusing, never promising, never stating a position, and never taking responsibility—how could he truly chill the hearts of his other several female confidantes just for Qi Feier alone?

It was just that Zhou Fan had never revealed this dark side.

But at this moment, Chu Xuan undoubtedly revealed Zhou Fan's truly hidden mentality without the slightest concealment, completely acting like a youth who had endured for many years, finally counterattacking at this moment, arrogant and overbearing.

Especially when mentioning Lord Mingzhen, a hint of an unfathomable smile appeared at the corners of Chu Xuan's mouth: "Lord Mingzhen was heavily injured and I do not know where he went into seclusion; he has never shown his face since. I have always had a question that I want to ask him..."

Qi Feier looked dazedly at Chu Xuan and asked: "What question?"

"Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun has been missing since childhood, and upon his return, he became a demon's body. As his closest relative, did Lord Mingzhen really not notice anything at all?"

In reality, what Chu Xuan truly wanted to know was why Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun happened so coincidentally to appear only after the Heavenly Dao Alliance was established and Lord Mingzhen became the alliance leader.

And why it was such a coincidence that shortly after Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun returned, Lord Mingzhen was heavily injured and went into seclusion, has never appeared since, and no one knows his whereabouts.

This was extremely bizarre.

Chu Xuan even suspected that Lord Mingzhen, like Qingyang and Hanshuang, was actually just a chess piece used by the four sects to secretly control the Heavenly Dao Alliance and manipulate the great trends of the world.

At this moment, Chu Xuan deliberately seized upon the fact that Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun was a demon to not let go, wanting to force Mingzhen to come out on his own.

For the second exclusive mission, understanding the truth of the Heavenly Dao Alliance might just start from this entry point.

"Feier, you will stay by my side from now on. Lord Mingzhen is not here, and I will protect you in the future."

Chu Xuan intentionally put on a sinister smile, but his words were filled with tenderness. Qi Feier, who had just been tearful and willing to commit suicide to gain forgiveness, couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart at this moment.

The smile on Chu Xuan's face deepened.

Shortly after, when Chu Xuan led the crowd to leave Tianshui Prefecture, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the time for entering the dream had arrived.
