Before this, Ye Feng had already learned from his ntor, Zheng Xiujing, that he had made it onto the Primordial Temple’s genius assassination list.
In fact, Ye Feng had braced himself for this news earlier, but being directly ranked third on the assassination list still gave him a headache.
You should know that his information was kept highly confidential, and he had never once formally made a move.
Under such circumstances, to be directly listed as third ant that the attention on him was a bit too much. Ye Feng even felt that there must be traitors within the Heavenly God Court, leaking so of his information.
Executing tasks under these conditions was bound to be stressful because if the enemy discovered his whereabouts, they would not discuss morality but would directly dispatch a True God Strongman to hunt him down.
That’s why Ye Feng had been dragging it out until the end of the year, just to improve his strength as much as possible.
Besides, the choice of tasks was also very important.
That was why he had Xiao Yuner get the tasks in advance, planning to study them first.
Upon hearing that Ye Feng was inquiring what kind of tasks she wanted, Xiao Yuner replied without hesitation, "I’m easy, I’ll just follow you. We will surely be able to complete the task very easily, right?"
"That’s not necessarily true, we might even be pursued by True God Strongn," Ye Feng said casually while flipping through the docunts.
Xiao Yuner’s expression stiffened because she too realized this possibility.
But soon after, she relaxed and said, "You are the target they are after, if you’re not afraid, neither am I."
Ye Feng smiled and did not continue to provoke her nerves, continuing to flip through the docunts.
Truth be told, Ye Feng disliked the vast majority of the tasks listed.
The front-line battlefield was out of the question; even if he went with his current strength, it would be suicide. On the front-line battlefields, there were nurous war weapons capable of unleashing True God Level power.
And as for stronger War Fortresses, even Higher Gods would only be on the receiving end when facing the enemy’s Formation.
Even an ordinary team led by a Demi-god Strongman, with the aid of a Formation, could exert True God Level power.
If they encountered a standard combat team led by a True God, it would be even more exaggerated, with a guaranteed combat power of the Higher Gods.
So soone like Ye Feng, if thrown into the front-line battlefield, could not stir up any waves and would be in extre danger.
As for tasks like infiltration, assassination, and espionage, the uncertainty was too high.
If he happened to encounter a strong enemy in the process, it would be extrely troubleso.
If he had to pick a safe task, then it would probably be logistics-related, mostly involving maintenance of War Fortresses or production of Formations.
But such tasks generally took a long ti, and Ye Feng wasn’t willing to waste his ti on this.
Suddenly, Ye Feng paused as he browsed through the docunts, his eyes slowly lighting up.
Before him was a task nad patrolling the Tianxing Minefield.
Compared to the other defense tasks, what made this one special was the location he was ant to defend.
The Tianxing Minefield was a teor belt in the universe.
A high-energy mineral called the Tianxing Stone was hidden within these teors.
Tianxing Stone is one of the primary sources of power for war fortresses, and it can be said to be quite precious, naturally possessing significant mining value.
Moreover, this Tianxing Minefield is currently the largest known Tianxing Stone Mine, and its location does not fall within the absolute control of either the Heavenly God Court or the Primordial Temple.
In such circumstances, conflict is inevitable, and it can be said that battles occur there daily.
But unlike normal skirmishes, Tianxing Stone is a high-energy stone that, if subjected to intense impact, can directly turn into a terrifying bomb.
Additionally, Tianxing Stone can withstand impacts only up to Tenth Order.
In other words, if two Demi-god Strongn were to battle there, the nearby Tianxing Stone veins would explode in swathes, resulting in no one reaping any benefits.
As for True God Strongn, there’s even less need to ntion that if they were to fight with all their might, it wouldn’t take long to destroy the entire Tianxing Minefield.
However, neither side is willing to give up this precious resource, so there is a tacit agreent to send out fighters who do not exceed the 10th Rank level to battle.
But initially, there will inevitably be instances of overstepping such as directly sending a Demigod Strongman, or even a True God Strongman, to assassinate soone.
Yet as soon as one side resorts to such asures, the other will imdiately retaliate in kind, leading to the direct result that no one can mine the ore.
Eventually, after more than a decade of tug-of-war, the Heavenly God Court and the Primordial Temple each built 5 war fortresses around the edges of the Tianxing Minefield.
And, unlike ordinary war fortresses, these were not only equipped with normal offensive and defensive capabilities but were also set up with an array of Formations to suppress Realms, covering the entire Tianxing Minefield.
In other words, any strongn entering there, regardless of their strength, even Higher Gods, would swiftly have their Realms suppressed to Tenth Order level by the other side’s five war fortresses.
Because of this, the Tianxing Minefield gradually beca a battleground for the younger generation.
"What a place!" Ye Feng couldn’t help but praise.
Pointing at the information, he said to Xiao Yuner, "I plan to choose the mission here at the Tianxing Minefield to et the talents from the Primordial Temple."
"If I weren’t tead up with you, I really wouldn’t dare to go to that place," Xiao Yuner couldn’t help but stick out her tongue.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes! The number of talents that fall here each year is not small, especially for us, the Direct Disciples, the other side will specifically set traps and hunt us down, so the level of danger here is no less than going to the main battlefield," Xiao Yuner hurriedly reminded him.
"You have already reached the Demigod Realm now, so even if your strength is suppressed there, it should be very difficult to kill you without a True God Strongman intervening, right?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
"That’s not necessarily the case. For example, if you accidentally fall into a Formation set by the other side and can’t free yourself imdiately, it will beco a war of attrition. The other side often has a dozen people lying in ambush, making it hard to outlast them."
"It’s just like so True God Strongn, who seal themselves at the Tenth Order Level beforehand, so when they go in, they won’t be detected and suppressed by the war fortresses."
"Then at the critical mont, they release the seal in an instant and can unleash a True God Level attack. Many talents have fallen unexpectedly because of this."
"After all, the suppression of the war fortress takes a process, and depending on the distance, it requires a few seconds, which is often the loophole," Xiao Yuner explained.
"Is that even possible?" Ye Feng was sowhat surprised.
"Yes!" Xiao Yuner nodded, "But you don’t have to worry too much, this situation rarely occurs."
"Because if their attack misses, they will also be suppressed to the Tenth Order level, and they might well get counter-killed."
"So very few True God Strongn take such a risk."
