How Is It You, Song Shuhang?!
An outer branch of the Limitless Demon Sect.
A puppet of 'Mr.' arrived at this branch and completed a transaction.
It handed over a high-quality 'Blood Sea Jade' and took away a sealed package from a branch of the Limitless Demon Sect.
The package contained the deal between Gongzi Hai and 'Master' She Lan: the 'Blood God Evil Saber Formation' that condensed the Blood God Natal Blood God Saber.
The puppet left the Limitless Demon Sect branch with the package, then quickly concealed its presence and disappeared from the sight of the Limitless Demon Sect disciples.
After they had traveled a considerable distance from the Limitless Demon Sect, the 'puppet' nimbly rolled its eyes.
"The connection with She Lan has been severed... That arrogant fellow is dead? It seems those four <Sword Formula> scrolls won't be so easy to obtain. In that case, the Magma Cavern is also very dangerous; we can't go back for now." The puppet uttered a hoarse voice. "Useless trash, couldn't even figure out the secrets within the <Sword Formula> scrolls."
Fortunately, this time they obtained the formation to condense the 'Natal Blood God Saber', so they didn't lose out.
After pondering for a moment, the puppet turned and stealthily headed towards the coast of China.
Shortly after the puppet left.
Soon, one of Devil Lord Anzhi's avatars arrived at this branch of the Limitless Demon Sect and took away the Blood Sea Jade.
With this Blood Sea Jade, it can barely replace the 'Blood God Diamond', giving Gongzi Hai, Devil Lord Anzhi, and 'Zheng Neng' a better chance of successfully forming the 'Seven-Dragon Patterns Pattern' when they condense their Fifth-Grade Golden Cores.
Soon.
Gongzi Hai's clone-like body received the 'Blood Sea Jade' from the Demon Lord's clone.
"Excellent, of superior quality. Although 'Sir' isn't a very likeable fellow, he's still a very good deal when it comes to transactions." Gongzi Hai's clone smiled and said, "Very well, I'll go and thank 'Sir' through image magic. And while I'm at it, I'll remind him... he must be careful of that 'Chu Chu' girl."
That Chu Chu young woman wielding the Overlord Shatter Saber, Ba Sha, might very well be the one who gives him a headache—the one with "heavy academic pressure." If it really is him, sir, you'd better be careful. This "heavy academic pressure" has several powerful senior figures by his side.
******************************
In the sky.
The Venerable Spirit Butterfly commanded his Colorful Cloud Dharma Treasure, speeding towards the coastal region.
At this moment, the two Venerable were exchanging ideas on creating a track for a 'Hand Tractor Race'.
The Venerable White set the location for the 'Hand-held Tractor' competition in the coastal area. The first part of the competition was held on land, while the second part was held on the vast ocean.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly: "Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Bai has a rich imagination. Compared to land, sailing the seas is much more exciting."
Venerable White continued, "Furthermore, I want to bury some 'landmines' on the land section of the track, well hidden, preferably with formations to conceal their presence. Anyway, with the cultivation levels of the fellow Daoists in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group,' they won't be harmed by mere landmines. At most, they'll damage the tires of the 'hand-held tractors,' increasing the fun and intensity of the competition."
"Great idea! Adding modern technology elements would be incredibly fun," Venerable Spirit Butterfly exclaimed, then added, "But, Fellow Daoist Bai, have you prepared landmines yet?"
"Not yet, but I've read the introduction to landmines. The principle behind them is very simple, and I feel like I can make some myself," Venerable White said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang behind him bristled.
My goodness, Venerable White made his own landmines? Even the seniors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' might not be able to withstand that, right?
The Medicine Master will probably need to add a lot more beds then.
No, we must stop Senior White from having this terrible idea.
Just as Song Shuhang was about to step forward and speak to Venerable White for the safety of the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group,
Venerable Spirit Butterfly chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, there's no need for such trouble. I have plenty of landmines in stock. Not only landmines, but I can also provide a wide variety of torpedoes that can be planted in the ocean sections of the racetrack, adding all sorts of fun to the course."
Venerable White's eyes lit up. "Spirit Butterfly Lingdie, it was absolutely the right decision to bring you along to tidy up the racetrack."
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Bai, you flatter me." Venerable Spirit Butterfly chuckled, secretly giving a thumbs-up to the person behind him as he spoke.
There was no other way... His own daughter was also participating in this 'hand-held tractor' competition, how could he let Fellow Daoist Bai use something as terrifying as 'homemade landmines'?
Therefore, even when he goes to rob neighboring countries, he will only take a batch of landmines and torpedoes that make a loud noise but are not very lethal.
Song Shuhang clenched his fist excitedly—it was absolutely the right thing to do for Venerable Spirit Butterfly to come and tidy up the track.
Song Shuhang's favorability towards Venerable Spirit Butterfly increased by 10086.
Soon, the colorful clouds of the Venerable Spirit Butterfly led everyone to the coastal area.
Then, Venerable White and Venerable Spirit Butterfly went to tidy up the racetrack with great interest.
Soft Feather didn't follow—according to her, if she knew about the traps in the competition beforehand, where would the fun be in participating in the 'hand-held tractor' race?
Soft Feather is a good girl who likes excitement.
Song Shuhang gazed silently into the distance... The two Venerable occasionally let out hearty laughter.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly: "How about setting up a 'Forced Homecoming' trap here? Bury Fellow Daoist Bai's Disposable Flying Sword series, and send any fellow Daoist who accidentally steps into the trap's range back to the Qidian, along with a hand-operated tractor?"
"Good idea! We can also install traps and perks with similar functions. For example, we can send contestants into the air and spin them for ten seconds, which is equivalent to Forced Pause function. We can also arrange some perks, such as using Disposable Flying Sword function to instantly send contestants a distance of one thousand meters!" Venerable White drew inferences from one example to another.
"We also need to place some repair tools, spare tires, and other supplies along the race route as a perk, giving competitors whose tires have been blown off a chance to continue the race."
"In that case, how about a few more 'Tenfold Acceleration Formation' gift packs?"
"How about a continuous Heavenly Thunder Burst Spell here? A large number of exploding Heavenly Thunder bolts will randomly fall from the sky. Contestants entering this area will have to constantly dodge the falling Heavenly Thunder. This will thoroughly test their driving skills and reaction time!"
"Good idea! Based on this principle, we can also set up a 'Ground Spike Spell,' where sharp spikes suddenly emerge from the ground, not too high, with the goal of destroying hand-held tractors." The two Venerable continued to exchange ideas and draw inferences from one instance to another.
Their inspiration flowed endlessly, unstoppable. The creative ideas they came up with became increasingly outrageous.
Song Shuhang continued to light candles for the predecessors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
"Soft Feather, when you participate in the competition, you must wear strong defensive armor!" Song Shuhang turned around and said to Soft Feather earnestly.
Soft Feather's strength is not comparable to that of the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group. She must protect herself well in such a dangerous race.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Senior Song!" Soft Feather chuckled. "And I will also prepare a powerful set of defensive armor for Senior Song."
"What? Me?" Song Shuhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, don't prepare anything for me. I'm not participating!"
"Senior Song isn't planning to participate?" Soft Feather blinked. "What a pity! It's supposed to be a very exciting competition area. Senior Song will definitely regret it if he doesn't participate."
"Haha, this kind of exciting, high-octane competition isn't really my thing. I prefer a calmer kind of competition," Song Shuhang chuckled dryly—"I won't regret it, absolutely not."
On the contrary, he would regret it for the rest of his life if he participated in the competition!
"I have a feeling that Senior Song will definitely participate in the competition. I have a feeling that way!" Soft Feather said.
Song Shuhang: "..."
Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw! Children say the darndest things, may this bring you good fortune!
While Song Shuhang and Soft Feather were chatting, Soft Feather suddenly paused. Then, she reached into her Inch-Shrinking Bag and took out a crystal.
This is what she and Shuhang found when they were scavenging 'Mr.' She Lan's Magma Cavern.
Soft Feather thought the crystal was very beautiful, so she put it away.
Soft Feather asked in confusion, "Strange, this crystal seems to be sending some kind of signal?"
At this moment, Liu Jianyi, who was behind her, leaned over and glanced at it, saying, "This is a rather ancient method of communication between cultivators. It works quite well and can even project illusory figures. However, it's quite energy-consuming and requires a lot of Spirit Stone. It was gradually phased out after the widespread use of telephones. I didn't expect anyone to still be using it. Soft Feather, you can use a Spirit Stone to stick under this crystal to communicate."
Soft Feather nodded, then took out a Spirit Stone and attached it to the crystal.
Snap snap snap~~
Once the crystal received an energy supply, it quickly reacted.
A beam of light was projected from the crystal, illuminating directly in front of Song Shuhang.
The light barrier began to coalesce, eventually transforming into a handsome, refined man. A confident smile played on his lips as he toyed with a blood-red gemstone in his hand.
"Finally got through! You're really busy, 'sir.' I'm contacting you this time mainly because I'm very grateful for the 'Blood Sea Jade' you traded to us; the quality is excellent... Holy crap!"
The elegant, jade-like man was halfway through his boastful 3D projection speech when he suddenly looked up at the bald, kind-looking young man directly in front of him and blurted out "Holy crap!"
The handsome man, having finally regained his composure, sighed, "Why is it you?"
Even if this guy shaved his head completely bald, he'll never forget that face.
Song Shuhang rubbed his bald head. "I didn't expect to see you here... Gongzi Hai." This guy named Gongzi Hai really is everywhere.
It seems he has a connection with 'Master'. So, was he involved in the recent "Sword Formula" incident, the Chu Household incident, and the Void Sword Sect incident?
First he slaughtered the Moon Saber Sect, then he slaughtered the 'Void Sword Sect'. This is truly the style of Gongzi Hai. A ruthless and cunning fellow.
Beside her, Soft Feather asked curiously, "Senior Song, is he someone you know?"
"I wouldn't say I know him... This guy's name is Gongzi Hai. He recently angered Senior Su Clan’s Seven from the group and is being chased and attacked by Senior A-Qi right now. He's probably still hiding in the Limitless Demon Sect and doesn't dare to come out." Song Shuhang said in a very nasty tone, he had no good feelings towards this Gongzi Hai at all.
"Hehehe." Gongzi Hai chuckled dryly, then said, "Since we can see Fellow Daoist 'Under the Pressure of the Mountain of Books' here, does that mean 'Master' has already been killed by you?"
"Hmm." Song Shuhang's lips curled up. "We've taken the gentleman down."
"Teared down?" Gongzi Hai didn't quite understand this way of dying. Was he dismembered? In any case, it seemed that 'Master' was in grave danger, and the Death Omen Star had already appeared.
It's a little of a shame. Although he's an annoying guy, he's very straightforward when it comes to business—as long as you're careful not to be cheated by 'sir'.
Gongzi Hai felt a slight sense of 'the rabbit mourns the fox's death'.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before Senior Su Clan’s Seven sends you to see that 'gentleman,' so there's no need to be sad," Song Shuhang.
Gongzi Hai chuckled softly and said, "Hehehe, please don't worry about me. Fellow Su Clan’s Seven's help."
"Soft Feather, did you record this?" Song Shuhang called out as he turned around.
Soft Feather made an OK sign with her hand. She had somehow taken out her phone and was recording the conversation between Song Shuhang and Gongzi Hai.
"We'll process the footage in a bit and send this scene to Senior 'Su Clan’s Seven'. This guy's overconfidence now, daring to underestimate our Senior A-Qi. He really doesn't know what 'death' means," Song Shuhang.
"No problem, I also want to know if Senior Su Clan’s Seven can easily kill him," Soft Feather replied.
Gongzi Hai: "..."
"Hehe, is there anything else, Mr. Gongzi Hai?" As he spoke, Song Shuhang Liu Jianyi, signaling his Senior Brother Liu to quickly pull back the two Venerable were happily building the track ahead.
Perhaps the two Venerable have a way to find out where Gongzi Hai is hiding by using the connection between the 'crystal' and Gongzi Hai.
"Hehe, there's nothing more to say between me and Fellow Daoist Shushan. So, before your guardians arrive, I think it's time for me to leave, lest my current location be locked onto by you." Gongzi Hai smiled faintly, his figure slowly becoming transparent.
Just before it dissipated, Gongzi Hai added to Song Shuhang, "Fellow Daoist of the Book Mountain Pressure... the Blood God Diamond will remain in your hands for now. I will retrieve it soon."
"Then you'd better hurry," Song Shuhang, "Because I'll be trading it away soon."
Gongzi Hai: "..."
Finally, Gongzi Hai's figure vanished.
