C1380 Peak-lake island

Inside the Lord of White Wind City Palace, Xiao Lang frowned, he did not expect the Lord of White Wind City to directly call him back. He desperately needed more points. If he went back now, his title of a gold-armored disciple would be lost.

Thinking this way, Xiao Lang immediately said: "City Lord, since the sect is willing to give me this mission, it is naturally to trust in my ability, so I hope that City Lord will be at ease, I am confident that I can complete this mission."

Lord of White Wind City said with an expression as if he was saying something: "Everyone here wants information and share the same thoughts as you. However, only a few have succeeded in completing the mission, so I advise you to think about it first."

"Since I'm here, I've already thought about it." Xiao Lang said resolutely.

Lord of White Wind City frowned, he never thought that Xiao Lang would not listen to his advice, and immediately asked: How much strength do you have now?

The Lord of White Wind City narrowed his eyes and said: "Small Perfection of World Stage is still passable, but you might not know the true strength of the Nether Leading Cult. Let me tell you this, even if the few gold-ranked disciples of the top rankings in the sect were to come, they might not be able to complete this mission. Therefore, I am not optimistic that you would be able to complete the mission."

Xiao Lang shrugged his shoulders, he could not guarantee anything regarding this kind of thing, and could only face it in silence.

Seeing that, Lord of White Wind City nodded his head, and thought for a moment, then said: "Alright, since you insist on going, then I will not advise you. I can give you the information you requested, but I am not responsible for your life and death, take care of yourself."

After he finished speaking, the Lord of White Wind City threw a piece of Jade Plate at Xiao Lang and said, "The information that you want is all recorded in this Jade Plate. Take a look for yourself!"

"Thank you, City Governor." Xiao Lang cupped his fists in thanks, and immediately felt the information from the Jade Plate.

After a while, Xiao Lang stopped his sensing, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. He had already received all the information from the Jade Plate, and his understanding of Nether Leading Cult was much higher than before.

According to the information from the Jade Plate, the people from the Nether Leading Cult were extremely crafty, they had actually set up dozens of bases in the South Domain, and they would frequently change the headquarters back and forth between these bases. As a result, the outside world simply did not know where the headquarters of the Nether Leading Cult was, unless they go and search one by one. However, this was too time-consuming and easy to alert.

After many investigations, the White Wind City had already listed five locations that were most likely to be the location of the Nether Leading Cult Headquarters. In other words, Xiao Lang only needed to search in these five locations, and there was no need to go and investigate them one by one.

Of course, Xiao Lang was also trembling with fear in his heart, because from the information he had gathered, the Nether Leading Cult was not something that could be easily provoked. It was said that there were two experts in the sect just from the Great Perfection of World Stage itself, and that the Small Perfection of World Stage was no less than five.

If this level of strength was placed in those medium-sized worlds, then he would definitely be an overlord of a region.

"City Lord, I'll accept the information first. I'll come back to report after this is over." Xiao Lang kept the Jade Plate and immediately cupped his fists and thanked the City Lord who was sitting on the seat of honor.

"You still won't give up?" Lord of White Wind City said helplessly.

"We have to give it a try." Xiao Lang laughed.

Seeing that, Lord of White Wind City shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand: "Since you insist on going, then go!"

After all, the latter was not his disciple, so there was no need for him to waste his breath.

Xiao Lang turned and left the Lord of White Wind City Palace, and then rushed to the Teleportation Circle.

There were more than ten strongholds in the Nether Leading Cult and these five strongholds that Xiao Lang was about to go to, were all located to the east of South Domain.

Using the teleportation circle, it only took Xiao Lang two days to arrive at the first suspicious looking foothold.

This stronghold was built within a huge mountain range. The Nether Leading Cult s hollowed out the entire mountain range and turned it into an important base of operations.

According to the information, the name of this foothold was Snail Tiger Mountain, and all year long, there were many disciples and high ranking figures stationed here. Very few people would dare to set foot within a thousand mile radius of this place.

But this time, Xiao Lang not only wanted to enter the vicinity of Snail Tiger Mountain, he also wanted to find a chance to sneak inside to check if this was the headquarters' base area for Nether Leading Cult.

If that was the case, he would have to go deeper and search for the target of this mission, the Nether Devil Bead.

Xiao Lang's disguise technique was extremely exquisite, and very quickly, he was able to see through the eyes of the Nether Leading Cult disciples patrolling in the outskirts of Snail Tiger Mountain, and successfully entered the mountain.

Half a day later, Xiao Lang walked out of Snail Tiger Mountain. There was a trace of depression on his face, because he had already ascertained that this was not the location where Nether Leading Cult was currently located, and he needed to look elsewhere.

After that, Xiao Lang quietly left the vicinity of Snail Tiger Mountain and headed to the next stronghold.

This time, Xiao Lang took six more days. However, when he arrived at the second stronghold, he was still disappointed to realize that this was not the place where Nether Leading Cult was supposed to be located.

There was no other way, Xiao Lang could only head towards his third stronghold ?

Half a month later, Xiao Lang had already finished investigating the four strongholds, leaving behind only one stronghold that he had yet to check on.

"There's only one left. The Nether Leading Cult's headquarters should be at that place, right?" Looking at the last stronghold's symbol on the map, Xiao Lang helplessly shook his head and laughed bitterly.

He had to find four footholds in a row to fail. His luck was bad enough.

The last stronghold was called Peak-Lake Island. This stronghold was built on an island and was surrounded by a huge lake called Peak Lake.

The location of the Peak-Lake Island was extremely remote and there were no teleportation formation to be used nearby. It took Xiao Lang seven or eight days before he arrived at the edge of the lake.

What entered his sight was an incomparably large lake. It stretched as far as the eye could see, and in the middle of the lake, there was a large area of fog that blocked his line of sight.

Xiao Lang confirmed in his surroundings. After confirming that there were no dangers in this place, he pushed off with the tip of his feet and directly rushed into the lake.

Even though the lake was incomparably huge, with Xiao Lang's speed, it would only take half an hour to reach the Peak-Lake Island at the center of the lake.

However, in order to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed, Xiao Lang intentionally lowered his speed and quietly rushed towards the center of the lake.

After a while, Xiao Lang entered the huge fog.

"Roar!"

Not long after Xiao Lang entered the dense fog, he heard a low growl from behind, following that, Xiao Lang sensed a fishy wind blowing towards him, dispersing the mist.

Xiao Lang immediately responded, his figure flashed to the side like a Teleportation, and the fish-like monster pounced onto empty air.

Xiao Lang's eyes were cold, the fish-like monster looked ferocious, its strength had reached the Early Period of World Stage, and logically speaking, this level of monster was unable to catch up to him, but previously, he had deliberately lowered his speed in order to avoid alerting the snake, which was why he gave the monster the chance to catch up.

"You reckless beast, you're courting death!" Xiao Lang reprimanded coldly, raised his hand and directly smashed towards the fish-like monster's head.

"Roar!" The fish-like monster released an unpleasant roar as it opened its big mouth and bit towards Xiao Lang.

Boom! *

Following the sound of a dull thud, Xiao Lang steadily landed on the surface of the lake. As for the fish-like monster, it had already turned into a corpse.

Xiao Lang did not even turn back as he directly left the place, while the fish-like monster's corpse was quickly devoured by the beasts below the lake.

Xiao Lang's journey did not go smoothly. As a result of him deliberately restraining his strength, after he entered the dense fog, from time to time, the Wild Animal monsters underwater would chase after him to attack him. Fortunately, these fish did not pose much of a threat to Xiao Lang.

After a series of twists and turns, Xiao Lang finally arrived near the Peak-Lake Island.

Just as Xiao Lang was about to enter the island, a loud rumble came from above the lake.

Xiao Lang was shocked, he immediately looked up, only to see a huge flying boat appearing in the sky.

The flying boat's speed was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye, it had already entered the airspace above the Peak-Lake Island, disappearing from sight.

Xiao Lang's eyes immediately narrowed. Just now, that flying boat was a high grade world Divine Artifact, and ordinary cultivators were not qualified to have this sort of thing. Only the higher ups and even the Nether Leading Cult Masters had the strength to do so.

From this point of view, it was very likely that the Peak-Lake Island was the headquarters' stronghold!

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Lang's mind suddenly lit up. If this was the headquarters' stronghold of the Nether Leading Cult, then he had to be careful, after all, a majority of the experts in the Nether Leading Cult would gather here, and if he revealed even a little bit of a flaw, his whereabouts would be exposed.

Immediately, Xiao Lang restrained his own aura once more, and waited for not a trace of his aura to leak out before continuing forward.

The current Xiao Lang was like a ghost who was wandering in a fog, completely lifeless. Even if a Great Perfection of World Stage Realm expert stood in front of him, as long as one did not look, one would not be able to detect his existence.1

Xiao Lang found a remote location and quietly went ashore in a situation where no one had noticed him, then directly rushed into the depths of the Peak-Lake Island.

However, Xiao Lang had not gone far when he suddenly stopped, turned in a flash, and rushed into the nearby forest.

Three breaths later, a patrolling squad armed with strange weapons walked over from a small path. There were at least forty to fifty people there, and all of them had a cold aura around them. Their black eyes scanned the surroundings like poisonous wolves.

"All of you, keep your spirits up. We can't let any of you slip away. If someone sneaks into the island, none of you can keep your heads!" A burly man who looked like a captain shouted.

When the patrolling members heard this, their bodies trembled and they became even more focused. Even the bugs on the leaves had to be observed.

Moments later, the patrol left the area and disappeared at the end of the trail.
