The second mission was located at a cultivation family by the name of Chi, situated ten thousand miles east of the Sunset Sect. This cultivation family boasted two Core Formation cultivators.
According to the mission brief, over a month ago, the Anti-Ten Sect Alliance had set its sights on the Chi family—a subordinate of the Taixuan Sect—and dispatched two late-stage Golden Core cultivators to pressure them into submission and force them to join the alliance. The two Core Formation cultivators of the Chi family had managed to stall them, hoping to find an opportunity to counter-kill the two late-stage invaders, thereby alleviating the burden on the Taixuan Sect and earning some merit. However, after more than a month of standoff, the Chi family found no such opening. Seeing that they could no longer hold out, they had no choice but to send a distress signal to the Taixuan Sect.
As Xu Yuxiu read the description, she felt a vague sense of suspicion, though she could not pinpoint any specific detail in the text that seemed amiss. Missions released by the sect were typically vetted thoroughly to ensure they aligned with the facts; minor variables were unavoidable, and it was expected that the disciple accepting the task would adapt to the situation on the ground. Setting aside her doubts, Xu Yuxiu picked up her pace.
