Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!
Chapter 1445 - 201: Six Movements of Heaven and Earth, All Living Beings Suffer
"Heh."
This unlucky girl isn’t planning to send a puppet to play while I rush to the front, risking my life, is she?
As if! I must be cursed to befriend such a weirdo like you!
When I get the chance, I’ll burn some paper to remind Old Yu to find a reliable junior sister in his next life. He’s so bad at judging people!
Xu Shu sneered and ignored Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya said, "Why is Brother Xu Shu ignoring Xiao Ya? Answer me! Surely you wouldn’t want the rumor of you toying with a little girl’s emotions to spread, would you?"
Xu Shu: "?"
What the hell, toying with a little girl! Even if you were eight back then, you’d be almost thirty now, still a little girl?
Stop pretending!
And threatening me? Damn, that’s low!
Let’s see if I pay any attention to you!
Xu Shu sneered and shut off the drive, letting Xiao Ya buzz him all she wanted.
"If I can think of notifying people to explore the Mysterious Sect, others can surely think of it too. This means that from the moment the anomaly appeared, nearly ten minutes have passed, giving the first people who saw it time to spread the word and call friends."
"With the convenience of the Ascension Network, the time spent sending messages is negligible. In other words, those who have the strength around Luling Platform have the opportunity to compete within ten minutes."
"In ten minutes, the distance is significant. For example, within fifty kilometers, a third-tier expert like me can reach here. If they’re fast, some professions might come from seventy kilometers away."
"Beyond that, within the third tier, it’s not possible. Only a demigod level entity could do it."
"But Luling Platform’s location is awkward, about sixty kilometers from the city. This means that even the third-tier experts in the safe zone can’t make it before the relic entrance closes."
"Nonetheless, the relic today will surely be teeming with experts because there are just too many people from Penglai. Even within a limited range of fifty to sixty kilometers, it’s the same!"
"This is entirely different from when my Wulaoxuan Sect almost monopolized the relic. It’s destined to be a bloody massacre!"
"Haha, whether to guard the outside to snatch others’ harvests or explore myself, who knows which choice is better. After all, whoever can grab the treasure inside and get out alive won’t be an easygoing person. If they are determined to escape, it’s impossible to squat them."
"And those who can be easily dealt with probably won’t grab anything good."
"Ah, you can’t have both fish and bear’s paw, can’t have them both!"
"So, in conclusion, exploring by myself this time is actually the best choice. On the one hand, there’s a greater probability of grabbing good items. On the other hand, I don’t really disdain snatching what others have on site."
"Unfortunately, even with my current strength, going solo within Luling Platform today is too dangerous. A single tree can’t support a forest!"
"The Hong Family is in there, and Hong Jun, ranked fourth on the people list, owes me a favor. If we cooperate, we might manage, but..."
"Forget it, our relationship is still too shallow, can’t withstand the temptation of real treasures! If we encounter some rare treasures, we might end up fighting each other first."
"Oh well, let’s wait for now..."
Thinking this, Xu Shu no longer waited on the railway but looked around. Eventually, he found a concealed but strategically ideal peak with a clear view of the outside landscape and sky, where he hid.
He turned on the upgrade drive, only to see Xiao Ya’s incessant messages, while there was nothing from Yaoyao, making Xu Shu frown. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Hasn’t Sister Yaoyao replied to my message yet!?
It’s been five or six minutes; she should have seen the message by now.
Could she be in seclusion, unable to check?
That’s possible, and quite likely, since cultivation is a routine for higher-tier Transcendents. Not every demigod is like "Dongxuan True Monarch" Melanie, patrolling the high-traffic chat channels of the Ascension Network every day.
"Seems like I can’t count on Sister Yaoyao this time..."
"But speaking of which, after all this time, seeing only flora and no demigods flying over, maybe other demigods can’t make it either?"
Xu Shu pondered with some doubt.
So much time has passed, and just those he’s seen already, there are no less than five hundred Transcendent teams of varying styles and strengths entering Luling Platform from the railway.
And in all this time, even the weakest demigod would have had enough time to come here from any corner of the Penglai Wasteland.
But in reality, he hasn’t seen any strong presence that looks like a demigod.
Although a demigod might not make an ostentatious entrance, it’s possible they quietly slipped in from some corner, unnoticed by Xu Shu.
But with so many demigods in Bai Yujing, surely not all of them are this low-key?
Generally speaking, at this level, if they don’t occupy the relic entrance, clearing people away, they are already considered good-tempered!
No demigod coming over... Is it possible that the Bai Yujing executives are coincidentally all in a meeting today, so no one can come?
It seems not too likely nor unlikely. For those already in the relic, this seems like a pretty good piece of news...
Laugh out loud, a news headline might emerge then: ’Heroes Shocked! Penglai Unearths Four Sufferings Mysterious Sect, Blood Moon Hangs in the Sky, Treasures as Plentiful as Monsters, but Alas No Demigod to Fly It, Everyone Watches as the Blood Moon Treasure Vault Disappears’ hahaha...
As time ticked away, Xu Shu idly scrolled on his "phone."
Suddenly, the sound of mechanical creaking and friction outside interrupted Xu Shu’s texting, as he searched for help.
He looked up to find a young woman approaching.
Her face was obscured by a light veil, but the alluring figure beneath the purple silk skirt unmistakably indicated a high-level power, at least C-grade. Her slender waist swayed delicately, an epitome of slender branches bearing abundant fruits, with an imposing aura as massive as a mountain, overwhelming the senses.
Who is this?
Such outstanding power, able to sneak up on me unnoticed...
Inside, Xu Shu was slightly startled and became alert, ready to transform into Great God Jiu Yi and escape at any moment.
At that moment, the woman spoke...
