The next day!
The Task Square was bustling with activity. Most beings were discussing the explosive events of yesterday. However, for many others who hadn’t witnessed it themselves, there were still doubts. Yet, seeing how passionately everyone was talking about it, they eventually came to believe it too.
“Look at those people over there; their clothes are so strange,” someone in the crowd commented curiously, pointing toward a group of beings in red, white, and blue leather-like attire approaching from a distance.
“Isn’t that the uniform of the Rebel Army?”
“The Rebel Army? Could it be that powerful squad from yesterday?”
“Of course! Yesterday, I saw it with my own eyes. Not only is the leader of the Rebel Army incredibly strong, but every member is also extremely powerful. Even the combined forces of the Fierce Dragon Squad and the Sword God Squad couldn’t match them.”
…
“Step aside! The Rebel Army is here to accept tasks. Unrelated individuals, please move,” Zhao Xiaomao proudly declared, his chest puffed out. Ever since joining the Rebel Army, he felt like he was flying high.
Wherever he went, he became the center of attention.
Those who had queued at the window and witnessed yesterday’s events immediately made way. In their eyes, the Rebel Army was simply too powerful to confront directly.
“Hurry up and move! The Rebel Army is here to take tasks. Let them go first.”
“On what grounds? This is the Guardian Realm, where everyone is equal. Even if the Rebel Army is strong, what can they do if they try to force their way? The supervisors won’t forgive them!”
“Come on! The supervisors were defeated yesterday. What forgiveness are you talking about?”
“No way!”
“I swear it’s true.”
The Rebel Army marched proudly to the task window. Zhao Xiaomao raised his eyebrows slightly and declared, “Accept the tasks.”
The task receptionist looked at the people in front of her and showed a slight expression of surprise. She had received notice that the Rebel Army could accept tasks without any deposit. For the receptionist, this was a rare exception in the Guardian Realm.
After the Rebel Army left.
The crowd let out a collective sigh of relief. To them, the Rebel Army was simply too terrifying. However, many more people wanted to join the Rebel Army because they had witnessed its strength firsthand. Joining the Rebel Army would provide them with a sense of security.
Just then, a surprised outcry was heard.
“What? All the tasks above the Earth Rank are gone?” A being exclaimed in disbelief.
“The Rebel Army just accepted all the Earth Rank tasks,” the task receptionist replied helplessly.
This was the first time such a situation had occurred. It was simply outrageous!
“How could this happen? There are no tasks left for us to do!”
“Yeah, even the Rebel Army can’t possibly take all the tasks.”
“Can they even manage all of them?”
“Ah well, let’s just take the tasks below Earth Rank for now and come back in a couple of days when the time limit is up.”
This news quickly spread to various squads.
“The Rebel Army is going too far. Do they think they’re gods or something?”
“What can we do now? The only squad left in the Guardian Realm is the Azure Emperor Squad, and the Azure Emperor has already been subdued by the Rebel Army. No one knows where he is now. We can only wait for the return of the Primordial Squad.”
“They’re provoking everyone’s anger. The Rebel Army is truly despicable.”
Upon learning about the Rebel Army’s actions, Azure Emperor’s eyes flickered with anger. Then, without showing any emotion, he quietly left.
…
At this moment, in the square, Lin Fan led the Rebel Army, preparing to go out and complete the tasks.
Three hundred Earth Rank tasks, varying in difficulty, but in Lin Fan’s view, they were all manageable. Two days to complete three hundred tasks—this seemed utterly impossible to others, but in Lin Fan’s eyes, it was worth a try.
“Master, aren’t we pushing it too far? Three hundred tasks are simply overwhelming,” Buddha Sakyamuni said.
Right now, Buddha Sakyamuni didn’t know what to say. These were three hundred Earth Rank tasks! Even the easiest task would involve facing opponents stronger than the Fifth Heaven God Stage.
If it was just one task, it wouldn’t be a problem, as it could be easily dealt with. However, completing three hundred tasks within two days was simply impossible.
“We won’t know unless we try,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
Buzz!
At that moment, the square’s giant screen vibrated slightly.
“The Primordial Squad has returned.”
“It looks like the Primordial Squad has completed their mission.”
“The Primordial Squad accepted a Middle Heaven Rank task related to the Cold Emperor. Now that they’re back, doesn’t that mean they’ve subdued the Cold Emperor?”
“Haha, looks like things are about to get interesting. The Rebel Army and the Primordial Squad are meeting at this moment.”
In an instant, the atmosphere in the square became tense.
At this moment, Lin Fan stopped walking, and in front of him appeared a group of people.
Although their auras were restrained, Lin Fan could sense the immense power radiating from them.
Hong Jingtian, the leader of the Primordial Squad, was the strongest being in the Guardian Realm.
Right now, Hong Jingtian’s cape fluttered in the wind. His eyes were sharp and commanding, and every step he took felt like an immense mountain pressing down on everyone else.
Not only was Hong Jingtian formidable, but each member of the Primordial Squad was extraordinary, with the lowest cultivation level being the Seventh Heaven God Stage, the Realm of All Laws Unified.
In the Guardian Realm, this was a colossal force.
Everyone held their breath, unsure of what would happen when the Rebel Army and the Primordial Squad collided.
“Let me go, Hong Jingtian!”
At that moment, a furious roar drew everyone’s attention.
“That’s the Cold Emperor.”
The Cold Emperor now looked pitiful, with both arms severed. The wounds were wrapped in layers of magical energy, seemingly suppressing him and preventing his limbs from regenerating.
“Hmph!”
Hong Jingtian snorted coldly. A golden mark erupted from his mouth, continuously spinning as it penetrated into the Cold Emperor’s body.
Boom! Boom!
Explosions echoed from within the Cold Emperor’s body.
In an instant, the Cold Emperor’s aura weakened dramatically, as if he had suffered a severe injury.
At this moment, Hong Jingtian stopped beside Lin Fan and calmly looked at him.
Lin Fan slightly lifted his head, a faint smile on his lips, meeting Hong Jingtian’s gaze.
Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from both of them. The crowd’s expressions changed instantly, as if an immense weight pressed down on them, making their faces turn pale and their breath catch.
“Do you think this guy can last three seconds under the captain’s pressure?” A seductive female member of the Primordial Squad said with interest, looking at Lin Fan.
“Three seconds.”
“I’m not so sure.”
…
Time passed second by second.
Their auras grew stronger and stronger. Then, as if by mutual agreement, the pressure gradually dissipated.
To the members of the Primordial Squad, it was unbelievable. They hadn’t expected this person to remain completely unaffected, as if nothing had happened at all.
“You are Lin Fan of the Rebel Army, the one the Azure Emperor spoke of,” Hong Jingtian said in a loud, commanding voice, his presence naturally imposing, his words echoing in Lin Fan’s ears like rolling thunder.
“That’s right,” Lin Fan replied calmly.
“You’re quite strong, but that’s as far as it goes. The Guardian Realm is under our Primordial Squad’s protection. If you behave yourself, everything will be fine. However…” Hong Jingtian’s voice turned stern.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the crowd felt relieved. It seemed that they could only rely on the Primordial Squad.
Someone who had gained so much attention needed to be put in their place.
