The Mount Tai Seal-Damn, It Sealed the Wrong Person!
"We're professionals at getting our wages!" the burly man in leather armor said confidently and smugly.
Song Shuhang, Yu Jiaojiao, Li Yinzhu, Chu Chu watched the spectacular scene of 'demanding unpaid wages' unfold before them.
How should I put it? This world is ever-changing and unpredictable.
Nobody knows what will happen next!
One second it might be Paradise, the next it might be hell—just like the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect in front of us, one second they thought they were the hunters, the next they became the prey.
However, it is precisely because of all the unpredictability and unforeseen circumstances that the future is full of possibilities, making life so colorful.
"That's life," Song Shuhang sighed.
It's a pity there wasn't a pot of good tea.
Yu Jiaojiao said regretfully, "What a pity, someone stole the monster."
"I actually feel quite fortunate. I have a feeling that if you had intervened earlier, we would be caught up in this 'cultivators demanding back pay' incident right now," Song Shuhang chuckled.
Furthermore, it's unknown whether these two disciples of the 'Limitless Demon Sect' have any other helpers.
Yu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, "Since everything's alright, let's go. We're quite close to the moon now."
"I agree, +1," Li Yinzhu said.
Chu Chu Secret Voice Transmission: "Agree +2".
"+3 in favor" Song Shuhang reached out and pressed a button on his bulky 'spacesuit'.
The spacesuit has a power array that allows Song Shuhang to move around in space—because Song Shuhang cannot Sword Flight, without this power array, he would just float around in space, drifting wherever he wants.
The Silver Dragon Puppet's flight consumes Spirit Stone, and Song Shuhang is currently penniless, so the puppet's flight time must be used at crucial moments.
Just as Song Shuhang activated the formation and prepared to leave, the leather-armored man from the wage-demanding team suddenly turned around and waved at him. "Little guy, which sect are you from?"
"I'm not a member of the Limitless Demon Sect," Song Shuhang quickly waved his hand, not wanting to be asked for his unpaid wages, since he was currently penniless.
Also, I hope the other person can understand my spoken language—I really need to learn how to Secret Voice Transmission when I have time. Otherwise, communicating with people will be too troublesome.
The burly man in leather armor laughed heartily, "Of course I know you're not from the Limitless Demon Sect. It's obvious at a glance. I've said it before, we're professionals at getting back wages!"
"..." Song Shuhang: "I'm a rogue cultivator, I haven't joined a sect yet."
"A rogue cultivator? Good luck, little brother!" Upon hearing that Song Shuhang was a rogue cultivator, the burly man in leather armor immediately became much more friendly, addressing him as "little brother." Because being a rogue cultivator was a tough life for everyone.
After saying that, he reached out and flicked a metal card at Song Shuhang.
Shuhang reached out and took the card, glancing at it. The card featured a metallic flower engraved on it, with a golden bull's head below.
[Huang Guanhua, Captain of the Heavy Metal Fifteen-Person Professional Squad, codename: Taurus]
[Our team undertakes a variety of professional missions, including bodyguarding, escorting, treasure hunting, and debt collection. We are the most professional experts.]
[Contact number: ********, Chat software: ********, Email: ********]
Is this a business card?
"Young man, contact us if you need anything. We're professionals—professionals in every sense of the word!" The burly man in leather armor gave a thumbs-up, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Hahaha, definitely, definitely." Song Shuhang chuckled dryly. Then, his 'power system' activated, and he quickly drifted towards the moon.
As they left, it seemed as if the screams of two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect could still be heard—of course, this must have been an auditory hallucination, since screams cannot travel in a vacuum.
A professional team dedicated to recovering unpaid wages...
Song Shuhang put the business card away. Perhaps, if the compensation was right and they didn't default on payments, this muscular team would be a good partner? Probably.
"What terrifying professionals," Yu Jiaojiao concluded.
Song Shuhang nodded in agreement and asked, "Jiaojiao, did you leave a mark on that black flying sword?"
"Don't worry, it's been successfully branded," Yu Jiaojiao chuckled. "I branded it very discreetly, I guarantee no one will find out."
Song Shuhang felt much more at ease—the fifteen burly men in the wage-demanding team didn't seem to be the kind of Demonic Path cultivators who would disregard human life. If they could get back their Spirit Stone as wages, they might release the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect.
If that's the case, the two frustrated and angry disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect, after being released, will definitely want to find a place or someone to vent their frustration.
Song Shuhang felt that he was a 'very good' target for venting.
Assuming that the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect manage to escape the group of fifteen burly men demanding back wages, there is an over 80% chance they will catch up with Song Shuhang.
Therefore, we must be wary of them.
Having Yu Jiaojiao brand the flying sword would serve as a warning. If two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect approached Shuhang and his group, he would be able to react immediately and prepare for battle.
******************************
Twenty minutes later...
Propelled by the array on his spacesuit, Song Shuhang and the 'space capsule' slowly moved towards the moon.
As he floated along, Song Shuhang pondered something about the Wine-Red Gourd.
"The Venerable White's 'Disposable Flying Sword' series, and the wine-red gourd on it. Wait, could it be that thing?!"
He thought of something—the origin of the Wine-Red Gourd —which might very well be related to him.
That happened on July 6th. On that day, he was invited by Tubo to visit Tubo's maternal grandfather's house.
After destroying the Resentful Ghost left behind by the local "Altar Master" organization together with "Senior Brother Three Days", Song Shuhang was ambushed by the Limitless Demon Sect Helm Master Jing Mo, and a man called "Half-Gourd Daoist".
At that time, Song Shuhang used the powerful weapon [Flying Sword Launcher 013 Edition] given to him by Venerable White to launch the [Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition], instantly pinning down Half-Gourd Daoist.
In the final Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition, the Half-Gourd Daoist was pinned to the sky and shot into the universe, disappearing from sight. If I remember correctly, the Half-Gourd Daoist's gourd, which could suck people in, was also wine-red.
What a coincidence!
Damn it, could that gourd be this 'Soul-Eating Demon Gourd'?
Could it be such a coincidence?
I remember that the wine-red gourd of the Half-Gourd Daoist was only a Fourth-Grade- grade treasure. But this Soul-Eating Demon Gourd attracted the frantic pursuit of Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor level expert.
"Is it a coincidence, or has the gourd of that Half-Gourd Daoist undergone some kind of mutation in the universe?" Song Shuhang murmured.
Judging from its appearance, the Soul-Eating Demon Gourd is more than 50% likely the same wine-red gourd that Half-Gourd Daoist used to have.
Am I destined to be connected with this wine-red gourd?
But I don't lack any magic weapons right now.
Aside from looking cool when it sucks people in, the Wine-Red Gourd isn't really that useful.
As the saying goes, those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away!
Just as Shuhang was pondering, he heard Li Yinzhu's cute voice again. "Be careful, that sword light is coming again!"
Song Shuhang opened his eyes and saw that, sure enough, a flying sword carrying the aura of Venerable White was rapidly flying towards him. On the sword light, a wine-red gourd was faintly glowing.
An egg! It's actually coming this way?
However, the timing was extremely inopportune. It wasn't that Song Shuhang disliked magic treasures; even the lowest-grade magic treasure would be irresistible if offered to him. Not to mention that this was a magic treasure that had even caused Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor to frantically pursue it.
The problem is, there's a large group of cultivators chasing after this Wine-Red Gourd.
That large group of cultivators were all baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, yelling and screaming. They looked like they could kill gods and demons if they stood in their way.
Several cultivators' eyes flashed with murderous intent when they saw Song Shuhang appear in front of the Wine-Red Gourd!
If the 'Wine-Red Gourd' falls into Song Shuhang's hands, these fourth and Fifth-Grade cultivators will skin Song Shuhang alive.
Even if the wine-red gourd just flew over Song Shuhang's head, he would still 'die'!
Because of the stampede!
Among this large group of cultivators, many used flying swords and magical artifacts, but there were also many valiant men who wore magical artifact boots and rode around like they were on foot.
Everyone knows that stampedes are very dangerous and can kill people.
If a large group of cultivators were to trample over you, the danger would increase three hundredfold.
Do not touch this Wine-Red Gourd now.
Song Shuhang knew his own limitations. Unless Venerable Seven Cultivations could arrive in time to provide him with strong support, he should stay away from this gourd if it meant risking his life.
So, Song Shuhang activated the power array on his spacesuit with all his might, moving to the side to avoid the Wine-Red Gourd!
Seeing that Song Shuhang moved aside and showed no intention of seizing the 'Soul-Eating Demon Gourd', the fourth and Fifth-Grade cultivators who had been relentlessly pursuing him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, among the pursuing cultivators, an old man leaped high into the air and summoned a magic disc.
"Hey, you lot, get ready! Make your move and seize this gourd! Behold my great Sealing Method, 'Mount Tai Seal'!" the old man roared.
Seven cultivators in the group immediately sped up and broke through the crowd; they were with the old man!
The old man waved his magic disc, and a Sealing Method shot out from it.
Once the old man uses Sealing Method to hold back the sword light, his seven companions can seize the gourd and quickly escape.
The Sealing Method flew incredibly fast, catching up with the sword light in no time!
"Don't even think about it, you old scoundrel!"
"The gourd is mine. Anyone who dares to steal it will be killed."
"A mere Golden Core Spirit Emperor with Three-Dragon Pattern dares to be so arrogant?"
Then, in the eyes of all the cultivators...
For some reason, the Sealing Method flew in a parabolic arc, bypassing the 'Soul-Eating Demon Gourd' and engulfing Song Shuhang, who was trying to move aside, in the seal.
Mount Tai pressing down on you!
So heavy, so heavy, so heavy.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die...
Second update in time! A fountain of votes for monthly tickets!
