Chapter 932: Daoist Friend, Please Wait!?
“I’m not sure,” the middle-aged man said, “It’s said that those demons are too powerful. Even the high holiness elders don’t want to battle them head-on. So, they plan to attack from the side.”
“Attack from the side?”
“What else can it mean? Who doesn’t have relatives and friends? It’s said that Profound Spell High Holiness will go to the territory of the Demon Clan in the mortal world.”
“Why do they need treasures if they’re going to the mortal world?” The young man was even more puzzled, wondering why the lofty elders would come back to get treasures before descending to the Lower Region again.
“No one knows what other dangers the mortal world will present. With even Wondrous Spell High Holiness killed, this issue is important. Don’t tell anyone about it.” the middle-aged man said in a low voice, “It’s an extraordinary issue that seems to concern an ultimate treasure in the mortal world.”
“What did you say?” The young man waved his hands in boredom. “I have no interest in these things.”
Then, he returned his attention to the games on his device.
The middle-aged man asked curiously, “What’s in your hands?”
“This is a small gadget popular lately in Thousand-Lantern Immortal Market.” The young man with the surname of Gui said with great interest, “It’s quite interesting and seems to understand our language.”
He said to the communication jade, “Power off.”
The game was turned off shortly as the communication jade dimmed.
“Look, this is called Artificial Artifact Intelligence which can execute some simple commands.”
…
Meanwhile, in the Wuwei Daoist Alliance in Dajin at the distant Continent of Immortal Relic –
In a room full of circulating light of spiritual artifacts, Nalan Mingxue gazed at the messages before her in concentration.
“How is it going? Have you found anything useful?” Sitting around her were artifact masters of Wuwei Daoist Alliance.
“Ms. Nalan.” At this moment, Li Haoran walked in and said, “You secretly connected to all the audio artifacts in the mobile devices. Isn’t it a bit sneaky?”
“Besides, you didn’t tell us about this important issue!” Li Haoran said in displeasure, “Ms. Nalan, I hope that you don’t bring the sneaky schemes of the big families into our research room.”
As messages flashed before her, Nalan Mingxue said coldly, “Now, we’re in an unusual time. Besides, you’ve always known what kind of person I was since long ago.”
She shook her head indifferently and replied, “I can’t change my habits.”
“You!” Li Haoran was angered by her attitude.
Nalan Mingxue answered Li Haoran absent-mindedly since her eyes were caught by one of the messages. Her expression changed as she said, “Come and look at this!”
At this moment, each word of the conversation in the courtyard of Gui Family came to their ears!
“It’s said that those demons are too powerful. Even the high holiness elders don’t want to battle them head-on. So, they plan to attack from the side.” It was the middle-aged man’s voice!
“What else can it mean? Who doesn’t have relatives and friends? It’s said that Profound Spell High Holiness will go to the territory of the Demon Clan in the mortal world.”
At this moment, Li Haoran stopped reasoning with Nalan Mingxue as his expression suddenly changed. “Demon Clan… Xiaoyue!?”
“Not only Xiaoyue…” Nalan Mingxue put her arm on the desk and tapped her exquisite chin with her slim and long fingers while saying in speculation, “It seems like they got setback at the shop owner’s hands and are planning to do something dirty.”
Li Haoran looked grim. “What should we do then? Even though we can manage to resist these immortals, even that senior can’t protect everyone! After all, our strength is limited.”
“That senior is probably not as powerful as we think.” Nalan Mingxue rubbed her temples and looked as if she was having a headache. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t only show his hand at the last moment each time.”
“These rats!” Li Haoran gritted his teeth and said, “Not able to fight us with strength, they are resorting to these dirty methods! They defile the name of immortals!”
Then, they all fell silent.
“They use dirty and despicable methods. So what?” Nalan Mingxue’s tone was still mild. “History is always written by the victors. I’m sure that if the shop owner is defeated, he will be described as the No.1 Evil Demon in the whole world in less than 100 years.”
“As for the destruction caused by this war… it will all be blamed on this biggest evil demon.”
She continued, “Although I don’t know why these lofty immortals keep going after this tiny mortal world, I’m sure that they are doing it to obtain huge secret benefits. Besides…”
“They have felt that these ants have grown powerful enough to threaten them!” Nalan Mingxue said, “They’ve felt the threat, and they certainly want to kill it in the cradle!”
Li Haoran shrugged. “I’m only an artifact master and don’t care so much. Let’s inform the shop owner of these messages immediately.”
…
At this moment, Mr. Fang was still in the new shop at the East Continent.
Stationed about 15 kilometers away from the shop under the leadership of the immortal masters, these immortals sent out some elders to taunt Mr. Fang everyday. Mr. Fang felt harassed by them. He didn’t go out and beat them, afraid that it was their trick to draw him away. But if he did go out, these old farts ran so fast that they were gone before the Three Sky Fairies could appear.
Mr. Fang began to wonder if he should ask Three Sky Fairies to ambush these immortals. After all, the people in Investiture of the Gods always fought fairly and didn’t use any dirty tricks.
At this moment, he received a message from Nalan Mingxue. [Be careful, they are just doing it to pull your attention while their real targets are the Demon Clan, Elf Forest, Heavenly Academy, Liuyun Daoist Palace, etc.]
“…” Mr. Fang replied immediately, [They are playing dirty?!]
[I’m afraid so.] Soon, he received another message from her. [What’s your plan?]
[With Half City fighting the Plane of Nine-Fold Darkness, the West Continent fighting the Godly Realm, and the East Continent fighting the Immortal Realm, you’re fighting on three fronts. They know that you can’t split forces to other places and have almost reached the limit.] Nalan Mingxue added. [Their intention is to further split your force.]
“…” There was a while of silence.
Fang Qi looked at the Advanced Carrier Rock in his hand. The condition for using the Carrier Rock was that he must reach 10% synchronization rate with the characters in the Cultivation Room. The Three Sky Fairies were his limit now.
At this moment, the sect masters were beyond his reach.
Of the five Advanced Carrier Rocks, he had used four to summon Yang Jian, Kong Xan, the Ten Heavenly Masters, and Three Sky Fairies respectively. Now, only one rock was left.
There was only one Carrier Rock, but it must block enemies in many places.
Remembering his joke of fighting three realms, he felt like it was ridiculous. “I can’t get out of it now…”
However, what else could he do anyway? Almost everyone knew that he had an ultimate treasure and wanted to take it from him by force.
[If you can’t find a solution…] Nalan Mingxue seemed to be stating a fact. [I suggest you make a choice and give up some people.]
[No!] Mr. Fang replied.
[What can you do then?]
At this moment, he thought of someone!
[Haven’t you heard that only kids do multiple-choice questions?] Mr. Fang reached out his hand and said, [I want them all!]
Nalan Mingxue was at a loss for words.
…
Meanwhile, after taking several ultimate treasures that had guarded the Saint Emperor Place for countless years, Profound Spell High Holiness was walking down the Saint Emperor Mountain with great smugness.
“If this trip is successful…” While riding on colorful clouds, he led some elders to cross the vast ocean and travel toward the Demon-Slaying Platform.
On the way, they suddenly saw a bright light beam lightly landing on a high mountain and illuminating a large territory. It turned the sun and created many clouds. These immortals were surprised and said, “How come I’ve never seen this mountain before?”
Lowering the clouds, these immortals entered the mountain curiously and clicked their tongues at the wonders they saw. It was indeed a great immortal mountain with evergreen pine trees and boulders that had existed for tens of thousands of years. “I wonder which mountainous immortal lives here.”
They were about to venture deeper in when a voice came from behind, “Daoist friends, please wait.”
“!!??”
“Who is it!!??”
