"What?!"
Practically everyone in the room scread this as they were flabbergasted by the Little Ancestor's choice. This was a mission so hard and troubleso that even though it had been sent to the Top 10 sects, they hardly had anyone doing them.
In fact, missions like these were used as ans to punish disciples under the rug. For example, if an Elder wanted to spread so female disciple's legs, and she dared deny him, he could abuse his authority to dispatch her on such a mission.
However, for soone to willingly choose it, and for that soone to be their own Little Ancestor… the Elders did not know how to feel. They had already been chastised for trying to butt in on their earlier bit, so they were hesitant to speak out again.
"Let them go."
The voice of the Dragon Ancestor sounded out. Those old fogies had secretly paid attention, curious what their disciples would pick. They were proud of their disciples for not using their nas to convince the Elders, rather opting to establish their own might by chastising them.
It was a vastly different thing for Draco and Eva to go around saying 'the Dragon/Phoenix Ancestors said I could do this or that' as opposed to 'I want to do this or that'. The forr relied on the prestige and permission of another, whereas the latter was based on your own will.
They were also intrigued by the lad's choice. The two Old Ancestors understood why Draco chose this mission, as he also had a Demon Martial Spirit. If he could find so rare Demon Cultivation Manual there, he could also cultivate his Demon Martial Spirit and profit from two separate streams of cultivation.
Having more than one Martial Spirit was unheard of in this world, but the Ancestor couple figured that with how miraculous Draco and Eva were, being able to figuratively crap out Aether Crystals/Immortal Stones and possessing such limitless talent, they trust that the Evil Duo knew what was best for themselves.
As their masters, rather than micromanaging them, it was best to let them roam free and provide them the only thing they needed, which was a huge backing so those more powerful than them would not pester them during their growth phase.
However, these Elders were wasting the two lads' ti, and it wouldn't do for Draco and Eva to always antagonize these fellows due to their pride and arrogance, so the Dragon Ancestor stepped in before the Young Ancestors could blow up.
Hearing the Dragon Ancestor's voice, the Elders settled down and said nothing else on this matter. Seeing this, the Sect Master called for one of the servant disciples to bring a set of items for Draco and Eva.
When he returned, Draco and Eva received the items given.
1x Dragon Robe - Draco
1x Phoenix Robe - Eva
2x Pinnacle grade Spatial Ring - Both
10x Resources Chest - Both
5x Bags of 1st-9th grade Qi stones - Both
5x bags of Platinum Coins - Both
It seed that these were travel resources prepared for them. Draco equipped the black Dragon Robe which was a mini version of what his ntor wore, while Eva equipped the White Phoenix Robe, which was also the sa type as what Xu'er wore.
Both were surprised to note that these were artifact-level robes, and had stats for them to see.

The robes were not bad. Draco and Eva still preferred their true equipnt, but that was locked behind the floor's rules, so there was that. Well, since Draco had full access to his Tradeskills, once they headed out, he would be able to make so proper equipnt for them.
As for the rest of the stuff, they casually put it in their Spatial Rings after they bound them. Their Inventories were still available, but there was no need to be obtuse.
The Spatial Rings worked just as fine, not to ntion that Draco was intrigued to learn its construction, so he could replicate it externally. His Advanced Spatial Creation Devices had already shaken the world, but a Spatial Ring would be far better.
It was more personal and defensible than a Bag of Holding, and had the capacity for far larger space in comparison.
Transportation was soon arranged for them.
Normal disciples would have to find their own way, but Draco and Eva were directly provided a warship to use.
It wasn't just any warship too, no, it was the private one reserved for the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestor when they went out. Since it would be Draco and Eva's soon enough, they could naturally use it.
It was not like the old fogies were going out with so many Aether Crystals/Immortal Stones to play with. They were probably going to stay cultivating until they reached the pinnacle.
They probably didn't even need Draco and Eva anymore to break the obstacle blocking the Upper Realm. With the resources provided to them, they could reach the level necessary before even Draco or Eva could.
This was probably why the old fogies left the young duo to their own devices and didn't force them to continue cultivating. They could do whatever they wanted as long as their masters were here to back them!
Soon, the airship rose into the air and left the sect with much fanfare, as all the disciples bowed as one to the departure of the Little Ancestors. The crew of the airship consisted of only four people, Draco, Eva as well as the Second and Third Elders sent to protect them.
The airship was superfast, tearing through the sky like a fighter jet, despite being designed like a normal seafaring ship that should be on water. The only thing was the fancy design of the ship which was half Dragon and half Phoenix, especially the figurehead which was a Dragon and Phoenix coiling around each other.
Draco and Eva stood on the deck while it moved, their bodies shielded from the tearing winds by a barrier that surrounded the airship. Though they could obviously withstand such pressure since using their bloodline wings made them just as fast.
"Where is the nearest city to our destination?" Draco asked the two Elders behind them coldly.
The Second Elder respectfully answered. "It is the city of Morta. It is a large city with a population of over 500 million people. There are all the main Tradeskill offices there, and every powerful rchant group on our continent has a branch there. Sa with all the prominent guilds such as the Adventurer, Rogue Cultivator, and Assassin's guild."
"What about the power distribution?" Eva asked astutely.
This ti, the Third Elder chose to answer. "The highest level in Morta should be at the Crystallization Realm. Formation and Integration Realm Experts may exist, but they would be in seclusion, trying all they can to breakthrough. So those at the Realm before that are the rulers of the city."
"There are also so local factions there. Three Sects, Four Families, and Five Squads. The Five Squads are the weakest, but stand above all others. They are the Tiger Squad, the Lion Squad, the Viper Squad, the Eagle Squad, and the Wolf Squad. They are large rcenary groups with so many mbers that they form mini-guilds of their own."
"The Four Families are the founding fathers of the city, the Xuan, Fei, Bai, and Feng families. They were the ones who settled on that city when it was a monster-infested area, cleared it out, and grew it to what it was today. As such, their legality of the city is recognized, unlike the Five Squads who are only counted because of size and power."
"Above them stand the three sects, The Elental Qilin Sect, the Four Sacred Bests Sect, and finally, the Dragon and Phoenix Palace. The Elental Qilin sect is the third-strongest sect on the continent, and its headquarters is at Morta. The Four Sacred Beasts sect is the second strongest, and they have their headquarters in another location, so this is a branch."
The two Elders then chuckled. "As for our sect, it is one of our more common branches."
Draco and Eva detected sothing more, so the duo asked. "That's not all, is it? How does the power of the Three Sects fare compared to the Four Families?"
The two Elders smiled filthily. "The Four Families serve the Three Sects. After all, generations of their descendants are admitted into the various sects and brainwashed using different ans to be loyal to the sect over the family. So they are our vassals, and we rule the city in the shadows."
!!!
How despicable!
Draco and Eva liked it!
"Our sect is also the strongest in the city, despite this being rely a common branch. The other two defer to us, but the Four Sacred Beasts are not as docile since to them, it's just a branch. The Elental Qilin Sect though, dare not fool as that is their headquarters." The Elders concluded.
Receiving all this information, Draco and Eva had a good idea of what to expect and how to behave when in Morta.
And that was exactly how they pleased!
Well, what did you expect when dealing with these two?
Their arrogance was enough to make even the sturdiest Young Masters feel lacking.
The worst part was that they had the power and ans to back it up! Clearly, this city called Morta was not going to have a good ti henceforth!
