As Long as I Hide Well Enough, the Treasures Definitely Can't Catch Me!

After bidding farewell to Feng Fei, Jiuli returned to Wuj iang with the Wuj iang Holy Mother.

The planning for this wedding was entrusted to Chu Xinghe. Even the Wuj iang Holy Mother was shocked by Xinghe's claim of using a teleportation array to welcome the bride.

This is absolutely a plan that has never been seen before in history.

Although the cost is enormous, what mother wouldn't want to send her daughter off to get married at home? Jiuli is the Holy Maiden of Wuj iang, the Future Wuj iang Holy Mother. If the wedding is held in Haotian City, there will inevitably be some gossip from the outside world.

Therefore, the Wuj iang Holy Mother was the first to support Chu Xinghe's plan.

Besides the Wuj iang Holy Mother, Vice Sect Master Yan Shoujing also expressed his full support for this plan. He even suggested that this wedding should be a testament to the eternal alliance between the Vast Heaven Sect and Wuj iang, and that we should not only have a wedding procession of ten thousand people, but also an even grander spectacle.

So everyone eventually agreed to the plan, and the Wuj iang Holy Mother could take Jiuli back to Wuj iang to prepare for everything.

Feng Fei reluctantly saw Jiuli off.

The people at the Everlasting Spring Palace seemed even more reluctant to leave...

The Ouyang Lineage members seemed even more reluctant to part...

It is said that after the Jiuli cuisine was removed, the disciples of the Everlasting Spring Palace lost some of their enthusiasm for researching poisons.

The Ouyang Lineage's appetite has also decreased considerably, as evidenced by the fact that Ouyang Ming, the head of the family, only ate twelve bowls of cold noodles, eight bowls of braised pork, nine zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), two pork knuckles, and four plates of vegetarian chicken in one meal.

Chu Xinghe has been very troubled these past two days. Oh, Misfortune Compass, what's wrong with you?

The Formless Heart Sutra has been sealed away... it can no longer be studied... you should share this...

What are you trying to do by not reacting at all?

Chu Xinghe wondered if something was wrong, but after he had consumed some of the sect's resources, the Misfortune Compass still spun slightly and gave him some Spirit Power.

This means there's nothing wrong with it...

That's perfectly fine, so hurry up and give me the second reward of the Formless Heart Sutra! Your standby time is a bit too long!

Helpless, Chu Xinghe could only learn formations from the Vice Sect Master Yan Shoujing while waiting for the activation of the Misfortune Compass.

"Xinghe... I heard that a gate to the ruins has recently appeared outside, and many people have gone to the gate. Don't you want to go and see it?" Yan Shoujing asked while instructing Chu Xinghe on the formation.

"Ah? Not really... I'm busy preparing for Senior Brother Feng Fei's wedding... I don't have time for that."

What Gate to Ruins? I absolutely don't want to go there right now. Holy Lands, ruins, Spirit Grotto —those places are practically hell for me, Chu Xinghe!

Every time I go in, I wreak havoc!

So it's best to avoid places like this as much as possible, let alone go treasure hunting.

Where I don't participate, everyone's scrambling for treasure; where I do participate, the treasure snatches me away!

I don't want to steal the treasure right now, I just want to hide from it!

Yan Shoujing stared blankly as Chu Xinghe took his leave without any interest, completely bewildered.

No... Chu Xinghe... that's the gate to the ruins! Logically, shouldn't you be eager to seize the treasure?

What's with you showing absolutely no intention of going?

That's the key to the Fishing Plan our Demonic Sect arranged for you! What's the meaning of you not even going?

So in the following days, Yan Shoujing kept thinking about Xiao Cui'er while repeatedly telling Chu Xinghe about the benefits of the Gate of Ruins.

For example, once the gate to the ruins is opened, it might reveal the remains of an ancient god, filled with divine artifacts and super artifacts. Obtaining them would instantly elevate your sect's status; how could they possibly defeat you?

But Chu Xinghe shook his head repeatedly after hearing this. "Vice Sect Master, please stop talking... After hearing this, I don't want to go at all."

Yan Shoujing did not give up and continued to present the facts and reasoning, such as how a certain genius in the past entered the ruins, received the inheritance, and led his sect step by step to the peak.

A certain good-for-nothing, through a series of fortuitous events, also received a divine inheritance, and his sect soared to new heights...

But Yan Shoujing said, "The more Chu Xinghe says, the more uncomfortable he feels... Vice Sect Master, stop reading... stop reading... It's too painful for me to hear. Just thinking about this kind of opportunity makes me scared, okay?"

Why did you say such unlucky things about making the sect soar to great heights so early in the morning?

I've already given up completely, and you still won't let me go?

After three days of brainwashing, Yan Shoujing was completely numb... because no matter how persuasive his words were, Chu Xinghe only had two words... "No way..."

What happened to Chu Xinghe, who promised to spare no effort in building the sect? What kind of trick is this?

What happened to the Fishing Plan? I've thrown so much bait that it's almost raised the water level in the pond by half a meter, and the fish aren't even glancing at it! What's going on?

Can any of the people in the Clear Vast Heaven Sect be considered normal?

That day, Yan Shoujing spent half a day composing himself before telling Chu Xinghe about the Gate of Ruins once again.

"Xinghe, opening the gate to the ruins requires a large amount of spirit stones. Look, people from other sects have already gone and consumed quite a few spirit stones, and the gate to the ruins is about to open."

"If you go now, you might not even need to spend too many spirit stones to open the gate to the ruins. At that time..."

As soon as Yan Shoujing finished speaking, Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up.

What the heck? The gate to the ruins costs spirit stones to open? Why didn't you say so sooner? Isn't it too late to go now? Can you still use a lot of spirit stones?

Vice Sect Master! Explain in detail!

Yan Shoujing was overjoyed and quickly explained the procedures for opening the gate to the ruins.

Most of the gates to ruins are relics of other dimensions left behind by ancient powerful beings. They appear inexplicably in some place under unknown circumstances. However, one cannot enter a gate to ruins when it first appears, since it is impossible for a powerful being's other dimension to be without any restrictions.

However, due to the passage of time, many of the restrictions have become very weak, so the best way to open it is to use a large amount of spirit stones to forcibly break open the gate to the ruins.

The appearance of this gate to the ruins has prompted all parties to invest a tremendous amount of resources.

This was also Demonic Sect's Fishing Plan, which was not only aimed at Chu Xinghe, but at the righteous path of the world.

The relic gate released by the Demonic Sect this time is real, but it was discovered by the Demonic Sect many years ago. This relic gate is fused with a treasure called the Dark Moon Shuttle.

The Demonic Sect initially intended to use resources to open the gate to the ruins behind the Dark Moon Shuttle.

However, despite consuming a lot of resources, they found that the gate to the ruins still wouldn't open. But while the gate to the ruins remained closed, the Demonic Sect discovered the special effects of the Dark Moon Shuttle.

As long as the Dark Moon Shuttle is in hand, all resources invested into the Gate of Ruins will enter the Dark Moon Shuttle, and the Demonic Sect that possesses the Dark Moon Shuttle can retrieve all of these resources.

Over the years, the Demonic Sect has used the Dark Moon Shuttle to swindle people quite a bit. Every few years, the gates to the ruins that appear in the world that cannot be opened and eventually mysteriously disappear are all the work of the Demonic Sect.

The Demonic Sect has been suffering heavy losses recently, and Wu Xingyun is also starting to feel the strain, which is why he devised this Fishing Plan.

They plan to thoroughly rip off the righteous sects of the world.

However, because there had been many unopenable gates to the ruins despite the resources invested, the righteous path under heaven, although it had discovered a gate to the ruins, had not actually invested as many resources as before.

Yan Shoujing was subtly hinting to Chu Xinghe to invest more resources...

Hearing the deputy sect leader's description, Chu Xinghe's eyes turned red!

Vice Sect Master, I misunderstood you. Why didn't you tell me about this good thing sooner?

I thought the Ruins Gate was for looting treasures... Turns out, the Ruins Gate is for throwing resources in to open it, and whether it actually opens is uncertain. You might just throw in resources and the Ruins Gate disappears.

Even if it doesn't disappear, if the gate to the ruins is truly opened, the resources thrown in will still be consumed... No matter how you look at it, it's a huge loss.

As for treasure hunting?

If the gate to the ruins really opens, and so many people flood in, you'll all be in charge of grabbing the treasures, while I, Chu Xinghe, will lead the team to hide. As long as I hide well enough, the treasures definitely won't be able to catch up with me, right?

Vice Sect Master, you should have said so earlier!

Seeing Chu Xinghe's excited expression, Yan Shoujing was a little confused... Xiao Cui'er, come and see... Why do I feel that Chu Xinghe's way of thinking is completely different from normal people?

Soon, the vice sect leader led Chu Xinghe to the sect leader and the first elder.

The matter of the Gate to the Ruins has indeed caused quite a stir. The Grand Elder had been planning to send his disciples to take a look these past few days. However, because Xinghe was busy with preparations for Feng Fei's wedding and cultivating the array, the Grand Elder hadn't originally intended for Xinghe to go.

But now that Xinghe has come to us, the Grand Elder naturally cannot refuse.

Soon, under the Grand Elder's arrangement, a team for the Gate of Ruins was formed.

For safety reasons, Chu Xinghe didn't bring any of the usual crew members like Ma Liang, Mu Bai, or Feng Yuzheng with him this time.

Haven't these traitors screwed me over enough?

The Grand Elder agreed with Xinghe's request, as Xinghe intended to give more junior brothers and sisters a chance to gain experience.

The Grand Elder thoughtfully arranged for his disciples to use Flute of Space and Time, so that if they encountered danger, they could use the Flute of Space and Time to escape.

He instructed Xinghe and the others to be careful, and also told Xinghe not to get too caught up in the fighting, since the gates to the ruins in recent years have been notoriously unreliable. If they found a gate that couldn't be opened, they should come back immediately without hesitation.

Chu Xinghe was teary-eyed as he listened to the Elder's instructions.

Elder, please rest assured, I will not linger or procrastinate this time.

You have no idea how many spirit stones I brought... Once I got there, I just threw away the spirit stones, and if the gate to the ruins didn't open, I simply used the Flute of Space and Time and left on the spot, making sure to be decisive and efficient!

If I, Chu Xinghe, waste resources quickly enough, I won't give the Relic Gate a chance to react. The Relic Gate wants to open? No way! I'm just leaving. How am I supposed to lose this game?

Yan Shoujing had a smile on his face.

Chu Xinghe, you never dreamed this was our Demonic Sect's Fishing Plan... We've caught you, the big fish, and you still want to open the Gate of the Ruins?

Absolutely impossible!

Wu Xingyun, I knew I would make a move. This time, I helped the Demonic Sect make a huge profit, and I'm one step closer to having Xiao Cui'er in my arms!

The 105th day of missing Xiao Cui'er...
