Chapter 80: At the Foot of Mount Zhongnan

After a short while, Hong and Thunder God finished reviewing the information Wang Kun had sent them, both visibly stirred with excitement.

“It can even channel force—this secret attack method is far superior to anything I’ve trained before.”

In the days that followed, Hong and Thunder God immersed themselves in the cultivation of the secret technique. Like sponges encountering water, they absorbed knowledge they'd never seen before with relentless fervor. Their talents proved exceptional; within just a few days, their strength soared, surpassing their previous limits. The bottleneck that had troubled them for years was now within reach—they were only a step away from breaking through to a new level.

Time passed, and soon, the day arrived for Wang Kun to activate the new instance world. At the exact moment the system countdown ended, Wang Kun communicated with the system and initiated a fresh round of the instance world.

A shift in space and time, and Wang Kun found himself standing in the heart of a dense forest. Instantly, basic information about this world surfaced in his mind.

“The Return of the Condor Heroes?” Wang Kun mused, recalling the main plotlines of this world. Of course, his thoughts focused primarily on which female characters might meet his criteria for recruiting death warriors.

The first person to come to mind was Li Mochou, the Scarlet Serpent Fairy, senior to Little Dragon Girl. In the original storyline, Li Mochou was a cold-hearted villainess, infamous for killing without batting an eye. She was ruthless, with a penchant for taking lives at the slightest provocation.

As for Little Dragon Girl herself, Wang Kun was less certain whether she fit his requirements. After all, she was a heroine with an ethereal aura.

“Better figure out exactly where I am, first.” With a brief consideration, Wang Kun summoned his legion of beautiful death warriors.

In an instant, a series of women clad in tight black battle armor appeared at his side. Wang Kun’s gaze fell upon those with ancient backgrounds, particularly Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo.

“You all, spread out and investigate our exact location. This is a world with an ancient setting—everyone will follow the lead of Zhiruo and Zhao Min.”

“Yes, Master!” they replied in unison.

“And change your attire while you’re at it.” As soon as Wang Kun finished speaking, the black divine suits on the women shifted and transformed, becoming flowing black ancient garments in a blink.

The black divine suit had become standard issue for all Wang Kun’s beautiful death warriors. Thanks to several consecutive check-ins, he’d acquired a sufficient stock of these black suits. Even if he recruited dozens more, there would be enough to go around.

Not only the black divine suits, but even space rings were provided for everyone. Should he run out of gear, Wang Kun could simply place an order in the virtual universe. With his current wealth, buying ordinary small space rings posed no difficulty at all.

As for equipment, there were various tiers of force battle suits for him to choose from. The black divine suit he possessed was a basic force battle suit—a standard outfit for planetary-level beings from the Inkfall Star lineage. In the universe, gear with similar functions was ubiquitous.

Rich as he was, Wang Kun could acquire what he wanted simply by ordering through the virtual universe. Though he had not yet officially entered the universe, he already held formal citizenship of Black Dragon Mountain. Through the virtual universe, he had meticulously mapped the planetary distribution around Earth. By selecting the nearest planet as a delivery point, he could receive goods from the virtual universe within a day.

About ten minutes later, Wang Kun gathered feedback from the dispersed beautiful death warriors and clarified his current location.

He had arrived in the region near Quanzhen Sect at Zhongnan Mountain.

Moreover, thanks to the intelligence relayed by Zhao Min, one of his death warriors, he knew the storyline had just begun. At this moment, a squad of Mongol soldiers was besieging the gates of Quanzhen Sect.
