Chapter 276 - The Plane Gates (2/2)

Lonemoon and Shen Ying exchanged a look before walking toward the exit on the right. Meng Po suddenly cried out behind them.

“Sect Master…”

“Huh?” The two of them instinctively turned around.

Meng Po paused. An unexplainable expression flashed across her face as her hands trembled by her side. Grinning widely, she said, “Sect Master, Elder Lonemoon, I… Can I still go back to the Invincible Sect to visit you?”

Lonemoon frowned and nodded. “Yes!” Even though she was no longer Shortie.

“Thank… Thank you.” her smile deepened, yet it did not reach her eyes. It was almost as if she was hiding something. “Goodbye, Sect Master! Goodbye, Elder!”

The only disciple they had who was interested in sword cultivation was gone. Lonemoon sighed, turned around and started to step through the door once again.

“Wait!” Shen Ying grabbed him and pulled him back. She turned around and glanced at Meng Po, who was still looking at them longingly. She turned to the Godfiend next to her. After a moment, she said, “Godfiend, this exit… is not the Plane Gate right?”

“…”

The moment she finished speaking, there was a white flash of light behind her. The entrance, through which Lonemoon had already stuck one foot, started moving toward them. It almost looked like the door was going to swallow them whole. They faintly caught a panicked expression at the corner of their eyes.

Then, the two of them found themselves in an entirely different environment. A passionate voice accompanied by the sound of birds chirping travelled toward them.

“Do either of you need a taxi? It’s the lowest price in the entire city. Which hotel do you want to go to?” A middle-aged man walked across the pedestrian crossing toward them and asked. “From the way you’re dressed in ancient clothing, I’m guessing you just got off work?”

Shen Ying: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

This is… the modern world!

Son of a b*tch!

One month later.

“I’ve seen it. There isn’t any array in the scroll that the Godfiend gave me. It’s completely empty.”

“Oh.”

“He did this on purpose. From the beginning, he wanted to send us back here once we found Meng Po.”

“Yes.”

“This bastard, kicking us to the curb after he finished using us. He still dared to act as though he was keeping to his promise under the Heavenly Dao. Now, I’ve finally figured things out. He’s of the same level as the Heavenly Dao itself. Any promise made by him is of no effect whatsoever.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying tapped on her keyboard as she drank a gulp of her Coca Cola.

“What’s more, I already spent hundreds of years in that realm, yet only four or five days have passed in this world. The time difference is way too big.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying raised her head to look at him in the eye. Then, she sighed, “So… you came to look for me about this?”

“Of course not!” His expression darkened. “I went back to the office these few days and found out something.”

He picked up Shen Ying’s iPad somberly and played a video before placing it in front of her face.

“Look at this!”
