New Chapter: Terror Strikes
"What a disgrace! What face do the Four Great Sects have left? This time they've lost face in the deep space!" After receiving the news, Su Tong wanted to imitate that monkey and wished he could smash his own sacred Spiritual Mountain to pieces.
On this day, the high-ranking members of the Four Great Sects were so angry they felt like their teeth were about to break, not just their lungs, but their intestines were about to explode. Their bellies were full of rage.
When Wang Xuan heard the news, he was stunned and couldn't come to his senses for a long time. This world is really ruthless. Even the Four Great Sects in the Supernatural World of Haichuan Star were tricked and harvested.
Those people are... liars.
"It was... a scammer... a scammer..."
Among the Four Great Sects, some renowned figures seemed to be possessed, constantly repeating those two words in a low voice; they had been deceived.
It's truly rare to find someone who doesn't play by the rules. The Four Great Sects were deceived by this atypical scam, resulting in such a huge embarrassment.
It's obvious that this group of people have studied their psychology, and even know the anecdotes they talk about in private.
For example, the rumors about tattooed people were exploited by this group.
It's just a special pigment that's fused into the flesh and blood, and can be stimulated to surface when needed.
"I have never seen such a shameless person!" In the starry sky, the Supreme Elder of the True Immortal level, who had been chasing after them all the way, was trembling with anger.
The Supernatural Realm has all kinds of people, and most of them rely on their strength. The law of the jungle, the cold-blooded and ruthless, and the otherworldly and transcendent are all quite common.
However, it is quite rare to see a group of actors so shamelessly pretending to be profound. After all, this is the territory of the sovereign, not some remote wilderness. Coming here to pretend to be a powerful dragon crossing the river is too risky.
But this bunch of old swindlers at the True Immortal level and little swindlers at the level of Master of Nurturing Life came so openly and brazenly, making the Four Great Sects offer up their scriptures and help them to observe the words on the Edict Fragment.
"Repeat offenders!" These people were so skilled that the elders of the Four Great Sects felt utterly ashamed and were so angry that they wanted to catch them and strangle them to death immediately.
The main reason is that when they were investigating and trying to verify the information in deep space, they were also tricked; that group had already set a trap for them.
The swindlers deliberately spread rumors to let the Four Great Sects know that they were backed by a colossal entity that was not afraid of the supreme ruler and had supreme experts in charge.
Ultimately, it was the people of the Common Ruler faction who heard about it, investigated the matter, and questioned the Four Great Sects of Haichuan Star, and only then did they realize the truth.
Even Wang Xuan was speechless. This group of people were too audacious. Not only had they offended the ruler of this star field, but they had also impersonated the real tattoo artists. If they were blocked by either side, they would not have a good ending. They were jumping on the edge of a knife.
At the same time, he also realized that the tattoo artists were so mysterious that it was impossible for him to encounter them so soon after entering this universe. They were a force that even the supreme ruler was extremely wary of.
Su Tong almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had endured humiliation to send scriptures, only to have them given to a bunch of swindlers in the end?
It is said that Monkey Qi Sheng almost hit his father, who always said "a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan," with a stick. He was so angry that he shouted that he wanted to go deep into space.
"I'm also preparing to enter the starry sky. We can't deal with True Immortals, but we can still handle relaying messages. At the same time, we can also broaden our horizons." Su Tong was about to leave Kaiming City.
"Can I come with you?" Wang Xuan's identity was no longer a problem, and he wanted to go with him to explore the map, because he would leave this place sooner or later and choose his next destination.
"Alright, as long as you're not afraid of losing face, it's fine." Su Tong nodded in agreement. This would become a disgrace to the Four Great Sects and inevitably become a laughing stock in this star field.
Soon, Wang Xuan learned more details. The golden conch shell in the fire of the fraudsters was also problematic. It was not an amazing Magic Tool, but rather contained a piece of the remains of a powerful person. It only had terrifying fluctuations after being unsealed. In fact, it did not contain any high-level combat power.
Su Tong, Ling Xuan, Qi Sheng... the core disciples of the Four Great Sects were all released, marking their first foray into deep space and their journey to other planets.
Of course, they would be led by an elder of the church; otherwise, they might get lost relying solely on the star map.
The starship of the Eternal Life Cult is of medium size and uses Super Material crystals as its energy source. It belongs to the Mythical Domain, but its performance is extraordinary. A super starship could easily pierce through stars.
Su Tong and his team were responsible for the star path near the node on Tian Shi Planet, ready to unleash their full firepower at any time, but unfortunately they couldn't find any trace of the enemy.
However, they did get to experience exotic scenery here. The planet Tian Shi was full of stone figures, and on the peaks of those great mountains stood ancient stone figures that never moved, breathing out Mythological Factor.
In the giant cities on the surface, creatures with flesh and blood are rare, except for Outworld Visitor who come for trade; most are stone people and stone beasts.
"Haha... Distinguished guests, from Haichuan Star? I heard you lost some things and were cheated?" The stone man who was receiving them was grinning.
It should be noted that the Stone Human Race are the most rigid and expressionless, so Su Tong, Ling Xuan, and the others were ridiculed as soon as they arrived, and the "reputation" of the Four Great Sects spread to other planets.
"Let's go!" This was very hurtful to their pride. Su Tong and other core members of the new generation felt that they had become a laughing stock in the starry sky and did not want to stay here any longer.
In fact, their attempt to broaden their horizons and gather information was a complete failure; they only visited one star node before returning to base.
Two days later, they returned, and as they approached Haichuan Star, their expressions changed drastically. A pale white Paper Boat, hovering in outer space with two blood-stained Paper Lantern hanging from it, was emitting incredibly terrifying beams of light, devouring the Supernatural World attached to Haichuan Star.
The large cavern inhabited by the extraordinary beings was imprisoned, and blood-red light and glowing characters were sucked out.
The blood-red light was the blood of innocent people, and the writing was the writing on the Edict Fragment of a large cave heaven. After the Four Great Sects were defrauded, the news leaked into the starry sky, attracting terrifying external forces that came directly to strip this place of its fortune.
On the several spaceships that Su Tong, Ling Xuan, Qi Sheng and others returned together, many people were pale-faced. It was as if a cunning fox had escaped one day, and a real prehistoric beast had barged in the next.
That's just a Paper Boat, pale and lifeless, with a Paper Figure sitting cross-legged on it, controlling blood-stained Paper Lantern. How can it possess such power? There must be an incredibly terrifying creature supporting it from behind!
The Paper Boat is only five meters long, relatively small. However, the light emitted by the pair of lanterns on the bow is connected to a large cave, ruthlessly taking away life and absorbing the origin of the world. Blood and brilliant ancient characters surge together into outer space.
Qi Sheng, Su Tong, and others felt a chill run down their spines, and Wang Xuan's pupils also contracted.
"Retreat immediately! We have already appealed to the Lord for help!" In the distance, other returning starships also secretly transmitted their messages.
At this moment, even Qi Sheng, the grandson of the most hot-tempered Ancient Divine Ape, became well-behaved and did not cause any trouble. He decisively steered the boat backward.
"Hehe..." A sinister laugh echoed, the mental fluctuations making people very uncomfortable, and a chill ran through them. Behind a meteorite, another Paper Boat appeared.
It was only two meters long, smaller, and completely pale. A Paper Cutout Person sat on it, stained with a few bloodstains. It swayed as it stood up, and the laughter came from it.
"Allow me to select a few people. Without my permission, no one should make any rash moves." The Paper Cutout Person on the small boat spoke, its spiritual fluctuations cold and chilling, as if emanating from the depths of the universe.
The elders of the Four Great Sects were all sweating profusely. In recent days, one mishap after another had occurred, all because of the leak of the Edict Fragment. When those swindlers were studying the ancient sacred texts, they made too much of a commotion, creating extraordinary phenomena that could not be concealed afterward. Now, they had attracted such an unfathomable and vicious enemy.
"You, and you, and you... all of you stay here. Everyone else can leave."
The Paper Cutout Person had bloodstains on its face, chest, and arms, which were still bright red. It pointed blatantly at Su Tong's two Junior Sister, Ling Xuan and the other three female disciples of the Purple Heaven Palace, as well as a female demon beside Qi Sheng.
Su Tong stood up, stretched out his arms, and stood in front of his two Junior Sister. Although he was somewhat arrogant and had some personality problems, he was not a bad person overall.
"Everyone else, those I haven't mentioned, get out of my way and disappear immediately, or else—I'll crush you!" The Paper Cutout Person scanned Su Tong, Qi Sheng, and the others.
