Kill Her, and We Will Be Safe

Chapter 39: Kill Her... Then We'll Be Safe

Lingjiang City, the Imperial Shelter, is similar in scale to Yun City.

However, with two Grandmaster-level Ancient Martial Artists stationed here, the tens of thousands of Star Fruits that ripened today were mostly picked by them and the Super Martial Artists of the shelter.

At this moment, Inside the conference hall.

The two Grandmaster-level Ancient Martial Artists were frowning slightly, listening to an old turtle speak with utmost seriousness, incessantly.

Towards the end, the old turtle's eyes glinted with killing intent as it said, "In conclusion, the Black Dragon Emperor must die. Only then will we have a chance to destroy the Main Star-Sucking Tree in Yun City. Only then can the Star Blue Continent be saved."

The two Grandmaster Ancient Martial Artists, one elder and one old woman, exchanged glances after hearing the old turtle's words.

The old woman said, "Honestly, I can't see how Gu Qijue is connected to the Main Star-Sucking Tree you mentioned. If Gu Qijue hadn't been strong enough today, he would have already died at the mouth of the monster that grew from that tree."

"Damn it, I've already said it. The Main Tree's true consciousness hasn't awakened yet. They are one and the same. When the Main Star-Sucking Tree finishes absorbing the Star Core of the Star Blue Continent, we will all die."

The old turtle ranted on. Seeing that they were still in doubt, it couldn't help but curse.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I believe this turtle's words!"

The loli girl, who had shed her armor, said softly, "She took such a big risk to come here; there's no need for her to lie to us like this."

The elder sighed, "Silly girl, Gu Qijue isn't easy to kill. Even if Chief Chu went there now, he might not be able to keep him if he wanted to escape."

After the battle that morning, the strength Gu Qijue displayed had already intimidated many.

The old turtle said sternly, "If such an anomaly isn't difficult to kill, then something is wrong. No matter what method you use, you must eliminate him. Contact your Chief Chu immediately! I also need to return to the depths of the ocean to inform those three terrifying beings in the deep sea about this matter."

It was an old turtle that had lived for hundreds of years and knew a great deal about the affairs of the deep sea.

"Alright! I'll contact Chief Chu for you."

The elder shook his head, took out his phone, and dialed Chu Yuan's number.

To be honest, he didn't believe the old turtle's words.

"What is it?"

The call connected, and Chu Yuan's impatient voice came through.

He was cultivating.

Being suddenly interrupted.

He was very annoyed.

"Apologies for the interruption, Chief Chu. The matter is as follows..."

The elder didn't dare to waste time and simply relayed the key points the old turtle had just made.

"Oh, there's such a thing?"

Chu Yuan's interest was piqued upon hearing this. "How many percent true do you think this is?"

"Uh! I... I think it's baseless..." the elder said truthfully.

"This concerns the survival of the entire Star Blue Continent. It's better to believe it than not. Give the phone to that old turtle," Chu Yuan's cold voice came through.

"Yes!"

The elder agreed and handed the phone to the old turtle.

The old turtle took the phone and said, "Hello, Chief Chu!"

"Hello, what do you want us to do?" Chu Yuan asked directly.

"Naturally, gather all the strong individuals among humanity and annihilate the Black Dragon Emperor in one fell swoop!"

The old turtle said in a deep voice, "I will also return to the deep sea and invite those terrifying beings to assist."

"Gathering all of humanity's strong individuals might be a bit difficult, but I can try. Are those terrifying beings you mentioned from the deep sea very strong?"

"Of course. Before the world changed, all of humanity's strong individuals combined wouldn't be enough for them to kill. Do you think they're strong or not? The terror of the deep sea is far beyond what you humans can imagine."

"If that's the case, what use are we humans? Why don't you kill Gu Qijue yourselves?"

Being belittled like this, Chu Yuan's tone carried some displeasure.

"If those beings from the deep sea are willing to take action, then you naturally won't need to be the main force against the Black Dragon Emperor. You only need to cut off his escape route."

The old turtle said very seriously, "The Black Dragon Emperor is no ordinary being. He will evolve very quickly. This is a true anomaly. In my divination, there's a high probability he can escape from those beings in the deep sea. At that time, it will be up to you humans to cut off his retreat."

"Alright, you go and invite the powerful beings from the deep sea, and I will contact the strong individuals among humanity!"

Chu Yuan also wanted to get rid of the anomaly Gu Qijue. Now that he had the help of powerful beings from the deep sea, it was exactly what he wanted.

"Good, it's settled then."

After speaking, the old turtle returned the phone to the elder and said sternly, "Take good care of this little girl. You absolutely must not let anything happen to her. Only her power can inflict damage on the Main Star-Sucking Tree."

The two elders smiled wryly, "She's already almost stronger than us old guys. You can go with peace of mind!"

This little loli's name was Mu Yuxin. She was only seventeen years old, less than 1.5 meters tall, but very maturely developed. She had short hair that reached past her ears and a pair of bright eyes like stars.

Her awakened Star Super Martial ability allowed her to absorb sunlight during the day and the power of stars at night to cultivate, which was why she had advanced so quickly.

The old turtle left.

It was clear it was in a hurry.

Meanwhile, on Gu Qijue's side.

He was grinding Hu Yin while controlling the Twin Dragons to devour Star Fruits.

However, just then.

Xiao Yao, who had been silent for days, spoke: "Master, from your memories of your previous life, I saw Lingjiang City. It seems there's a Super Martial Artist who awakened the Star Armor. They are exceptionally powerful. Can we go kill her?"

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Gu Qijue frowned slightly.

Previously, Xiao Yao communicated with him telepathically. Why did its voice now seem to come from outside, sounding in his ear?

Gu Qijue hesitated and asked, "Why do you want to kill her?"

"Kill... her... and then... we... we... we... we... will be... safe... safe... safe..."

Xiao Yao's voice was intermittent, and it fell silent before finishing its sentence.

"Xiao Yao, what's wrong?"

Gu Qijue felt that Xiao Yao was acting unusually today.

But no matter how he called out now, he could no longer get a response from Xiao Yao.

"Why would it ask me to kill Mu Yuxin?"

Gu Qijue naturally knew of Mu Yuxin.

In his previous life, she was the only Super Martial Artist among humans who could contend with the Black Dragon. She had risen very quickly.

Gu Qijue's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself, "What happened to Xiao Yao? Since it mentioned killing Mu Yuxin... Lingjiang City, it seems I have to make a trip myself. But I'll advance to Seventh Order first."

All the strange events that happened today were completely beyond Gu Qijue's control, making him feel uncomfortable and lacking a sense of security.

Advancing to Seventh Order seemed difficult.

Gu Qijue had consumed over a thousand Star Fruits, but he still couldn't break through that barrier.

His body was like a bottomless pit; he didn't know what was going on.
