Chapter 1212: The Divine Mirror Enforcement Team Mission

“Principal, why are you looking at us like that? We’re just ordinary students!” An Lin’s expression darkened.

Even an idiot would be aware of what the principal was thinking after the Celestial Thearch fled the scene.

This poverty-stricken principal was trying to get his evil claws on his adorable students!

A smile appeared on the four-legged whale’s face as he blew a bubble—You’re not an ordinary student. You’re the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, a sect that rivals the Nine Imperials. You must be very rich, right?

An Lin: “…”

The four-legged whale continued to blow bubbles—Let’s cut to the chase. I want to borrow some money! Don’t worry, I give very high interest, so it won’t be a bad deal for you, and I won’t borrow too much money either.

“How much money do you need, principal?” An Lin asked.

If it wasn’t much, An Lin wouldn’t mind doing the principal a favor.

The four-legged whale—A high-rank blood differentiation divine pill costs around three hundred million spirit stones from memory. I have ten million now, so I only need to borrow two hundred and ninety million from you.

An Lin: “…”

Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun: “…”

“Oh crap, we have classes this morning, don’t we?” An Lin suddenly exclaimed.

“Oh, I completely forgot! We’re going to be late if we don’t go right away!” Xu Xiaolan chimed in.

Xuanyuan Cheng said with a solemn expression, “As the class captain, it is my duty to inform you that we’re already ditching class! This is a very serious matter!”

Su Qianyun said in her mellow voice, “Let’s hurry before we get scolded by the teacher.”

The four of them immediately flew toward their classrooms.

The four-legged whale tried to blow bubbles to keep them, but none of them could see the bubbles as they had already turned their backs and left. Their thirst for knowledge and love for their studies were far more important than anything else in this present moment…

Vice-Principal Yu Hua: “…”

Wang Xianyu: “…”

“As principals, we should be elated that our students are so eager to learn.” Vice-Principal Yu Hua sighed with emotion.

Wang Xianyu blew a disconsolate bubble—What should I do? Am I actually going to become a fish?

“That won’t happen. Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” Vice-Principal Yu Hua consoled in a gentle voice.

Wang Xianyu turned to look at Celestial Immortal Yu Hua with affectionate eyes—I’m so miserable that I want to cry. In this cold, cruel world, only you can offer me some warmth, Yu Hua. Let’s go borrow money from people!

Vice-Principal Yu Hua: “…”

An Lin and the others showed up in their classes, and they now no longer had any regrets about their time in university as they had seen their mysterious principal.

However, that didn’t mean that they were feeling quite content. Instead, they had mixed emotions about this matter.

They had always had the mental image of a handsome man with grace and elegance in abundance, so they were feeling a little crushed by what they saw instead.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were sitting in their classroom, and even now, they still hadn’t completely recovered from their shock.

Most of the other students were also in the same boat, and very few of the students were actually able to focus on the lesson after what they had just witnessed.

“An Lin, how did our principal become the principal?” Xu Xiaolan rested her chin in her hand as she spoke in a quiet voice to the man beside her.

An Lin knew what Xu Xiaolan was referring to. This saliva-blasting principal who spoke using bubbles and would even stoop low enough to borrow money from his students was completely different from the handsome, reliable principal that they had in mind.

“Perhaps it’s because the bloodline curse is influencing his personality as well. I’m sure everything will get better after our principal finds a way to revert back to the handsome man he once was,” An Lin offered words of consolation.

Xu Xiaolan pouted and did not say anything.

“The Heavenly Peach Banquet is quickly coming up, so our sect should think about preparing a present for the Heavenly Court,” An Lin suddenly said.

“That’s true. Even though the Heavenly Peach Banquet is not supposed to be a fundraising event for the Heavenly Court, it’s still important to prepare a present.” Xu Xiaolan nodded.

“Our sect is still repairing the battleship, so we have less than ten million spirit stones worth of liquid assets. As for things like spirit pills and spirit tools, those are going to be rewards for our sect disciples, so we don’t really have any that we can afford to give either. What should we do…” A distressed expression appeared on An Lin’s face.

Xu Xiaolan’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of a good idea. “Why don’t we give them a premium dish? The Celestial Thearch and his wife don’t appear to have tasted our frying pan cooking, have they?”

An Lin’s eyes also lit up as he clapped his hands together. “Xiaolan, you know me so well! This is exactly the kind of cheap yet thoughtful present idea I’m looking for!”

…

Within the Dark Mine Mountain located in the southeastern region of the Kingdom of the Nine States.

A team of powerful beings of different shapes and sizes and in different types of attire were searching for something nearby.

This was a very powerful team of fifty-five cultivators, which consisted of five Soul Formation Stage powerful beings and fifty Spirit Nurturing Stage powerful beings, all of whom had been assigned clear duties.

The Dark Wing Tribe and the Vermilion Bird Tribe were the flying scouts, the Snake Spirit Clan and the Stone Tribe were responsible for scouring the ground, the Spirit Fish Clan and the Heavenly Turtle Tribe were responsible for divination and guidance, while the Holy Martial Clan and the True Demon Tribe living beings all held powerful weapons as killing intent surged from their bodies.

Meanwhile, the humans were holding a bunch of strange weapons as they cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

Living beings from the Dragon Tribe also accompanied the team of powerful beings, doing a whole lot of nothing in particular.

“Howl!”

At this moment, an enraged roar erupted from up ahead.

A lizard dragon mutant beast that was constructed from inky-black mine crystals suddenly appeared. The powerful aura of a Soul Formation Final Stage powerful being erupted from its body as countless lightning crystals appeared in the air. That was its domain.

“The mine mountain guardian beast has appeared! The Dark Essence Mine should be nearby!” A Dark Wing Tribe Soul Formation Stage powerful being yelled with excitement, “We finally have a chance to complete our mission! Get into formation!”

The five Soul Formation Stage and fifty Spirit Nurturing Stage living beings instantly assumed their positions in the formation.

At this moment, countless lightning crystals whistled through the air toward them.

“Shield!” all of the living beings spoke in unison.

The Spirit Fish Clan and the Heavenly Turtle Tribe instantly combined to create a water-film turtle-shell shield.

Boom boom boom…

The lightning crystals shattered against the shield one after the other, but the shield itself remained completely unscathed.

The mine crystal lizard dragon’s expression shifted, and it spread its wings as it prepared to launch another attack.

“Demonic God Slaying Spear!” a Soul Formation Stage True Demon Tribe powerful being roared.

Ten True Demon Tribe powerful beings combined their powers to materialize an inky-black demonic spear, onto which the Holy Martial Clan imbued the power of sharpness and the Dragon Tribe imbued the power of lightning…

The inky-black demonic spear instantly became so terrifyingly powerful that even space was beginning to tremor.

“Go!”

Whoosh!

The demonic spear tore through the air like a black bolt of lightning before striking the mine crystal lizard dragon square in the chest. A sharp screeching sound erupted as the tip of the spear tore through the lizard dragon’s crystalline body. The mine crystal lizard dragon let loose a bloodcurdling cry as the spear punctured its body, upon which destructive power erupted violently!

Boom!

The Soul Formation Final Stage mine crystal lizard dragon had been insta-killed.

A human with a powerful aura dialed through a voice transmission.

“Priestess Bai Ling, the Second Divine Mirror Enforcement Team has just slain the mine mountain guardian beast and is now preparing to search for the Dark Essence Mine!”

A professional, female voice sounded from the voice transmission talisman, “Very good. I look forward to the completion of your mission.”

That’s right! This team of different living beings that were working in perfect harmony was one of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Divine Mirror Enforcement Teams!

They were searching for an important material that could be used to enhance the Starfire Battleship—the dark essence ore. With the dark essence ore, the Starfire Battleship would be able to be operated even by someone that hadn’t attained the power of the divine dao!

“I smell treasures… The cave is over there!” A Dragon Tribe living being who was extremely sensitive to treasures flew toward a cave.

The members of the team immediately followed along.

They entered the cave to discover an inky-black, circular rock platform, upon which there was nothing but a layer of faintly glistening black crystal, which appeared to have been severed by some sort of power.

The Dragon Tribe living being’s expression shifted drastically. “Crap! Someone got here before us!”

“Who is it!?” A True Demon Tribe powerful being instantly flared up with rage.

A Snake Spirit Clan woman stuck out her crimson tongue, and she suddenly shot out of the cave. “The enemy has not gone far. Follow me!”
