”Yes, long time no see indeed.”
Seeing that sweet smile from Qiong Hua, w.a.n.g Lu initially wanted to say some pleasantries, which could be considered as a friendly contact between the lead disciple of the two sects, but he saw that her gaze quickly moved away. w.a.n.g Lu's heart immediately turned cold, and many words were stuck in his mouth. He just casually said those few words and then kept his silent.
Qiong Hua and w.a.n.g Lu also nodded to acknowledge each other. And seeing that he had nothing to say anymore, she cupped her hands across her chest to bid goodbye and then lead her team away from w.a.n.g Lu's side step by step.
It was just that, before their team walked a few steps away, from among them, a girl who was filled with heroic spirit suddenly looked back and cast a vicious stare at w.a.n.g Lu. Seeing how fierce and swift this glare was, w.a.n.g Lu took a careful look at her. The girl was quite pretty, and her anger was quite serious, but some of her features were quite familiar to him.
w.a.n.g Lu carefully recalled his memory. Since his debut, the women that he had been acquainted with were not few, but all his conducts were upright, never been a womanizer, never provoked flowers or irritated gra.s.s. In fact, even with how intimately affectionate Liu Li and him were, he has never taken advantage of her. Therefore, it was even more impossible for him to harm others. So how could he offend the girl that she cast him a look as if he had s.e.x with her and immediately abandoned her?
However, he soon remembered that he had indeed a bad karma with her. In the ancient sword tomb, she and her brother were steamrolled by him using his IQ that they almost spat out blood. It was highly likely that the psychological scar about that event had deeply rooted. Then, it was no wonder that after they walked away, the girl gave him a vicious stare.
”Little Sister w.a.n.gyue, long time no see.”
w.a.n.g Lu's buoyant greeting sound sent chills all over w.a.n.gyue Luanyu's spine. The resentment in her eyes slightly disappeared, replaced by a bit of trauma-induced alarm and fear—psychological scar was indeed psychological scar.
”W-Who is long time no see with you!”
w.a.n.g Lu cheerfully said, ”How could you easily forget me? Didn't we get along well when we were in the ancient sword tomb…”
Before he could continue, w.a.n.gyue Luanyu's face was already bright red. ”Shut up! Don't think that your records in clearing the immortal dream lands are extraordinary. You are not qualified to be so presumptuous in front of my Shengjing Sect. Let me tell you, after this chain, you will…”
”Luanyu, shut up.”
Qiong Hua's voice lightly pa.s.sed over from the front of the team, which sent yet another round of deep chills all over w.a.n.gyue Luanyu's body that immediately froze her on the spot and abruptly pulled back the words that were almost impulsively blurted out by her. Even her cheeks were covered with a layer of frost.
However, seeing this response from Qiong Hua only aroused w.a.n.g Lu's curiosity. Obviously, the plan of Shengjing Sect has already been widely spread. From w.a.n.gyue Luanyu's manner of speaking, apparently, if they managed to smoothly clear this chain, they would be capable to push Spirit Sword down a peg, but the exact mystery of this chain was still unknown. Previously, he had asked the elders about these thirty-six chains but did not get an accurate answer. It seemed that everything was just a deduction from the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader Feng Yin deducted that these thirty-six chains were very significant, which was already determined the moment the first chain was cleared. However, what made it significant in the first place was still very much unclear.
However, now it seemed like Shengjing Sect obviously knew more than Spirit Sword Sect. Therefore, when w.a.n.gyue Luanyu said those words, w.a.n.g Lu actually paid close attention to that. Unfortunately, when w.a.n.gyue Luanyu has just opened her mouth, she was immediately stopped. Other team members of Shengjing Sect team kept their silent, no one dared to be slightly disobedient to Qiong Hua.
Seeing this situation, although w.a.n.g Lu was a bit curious of what w.a.n.gyue Luanyu was about to say, it was quite difficult to ask further, so it felt like there was an itch in his heart that was difficult to scratch. After he stayed standing on site for a moment and thought about the events that he was about to do, he had to first suppress his curiosity and then continue to walk towards the entrance of the group of immortal tombs.
However, before he could even take two steps, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind. Upon turning his head, he saw a beautiful girl's face. However, this time, w.a.n.g Lu immediately remembered who that face belonged to.
”Oh, it's Senior Sister Zhou, did you also come to explore the group of immortal tombs?”
The one who came was exactly the frank young girl Zhou Mumu, the lead disciple of Kunlun Sect that previously fought side by side with w.a.n.g Lu in the ancient sword tomb in Southern Heaven Region. Therefore, w.a.n.g Lu had a quite good impression of her, and thus, seeing her, his face immediately revealed a smile.
”Of course, right now, all of the top rank sects in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals have regarded this as the core part of their future. So the lead and elite disciples of the sects have been busy non-stop. I previously wondered why I didn't see you in the past one year, but later I heard that in this past one month, you managed to clear more than a dozen chains, which exceeded our effort in a year; that is seriously one h.e.l.l of a feat.”
w.a.n.g Lu cupped his hands across his chest to modestly express his reply. But before he could say a few more words, Zhou Mumu impatiently said her goodbye. Apparently, she also has important things to do and could only exchange a few words of pleasantries with w.a.n.g Lu.
However, just before leaving, she left some words that left w.a.n.g Lu greatly astonished.
”Hahaha, this time, with you here, all the lead disciples of the Five Uniques are in attendance! This is a rare opportunity, let's compete on who will clear the chain the quickest! This time, I'm not going to lose to you!”
Then, with a string of silvery laughter, Zhou Mumu disappeared into the entrance of the group of immortal tombs, leaving w.a.n.g Lu stunned speechless on the spot.
All of the lead disciples of the Five Uniques were here? Was this just a sheer coincidence, or… there was a pair of invisible hands that manipulated everything? Previously, he only heard Shengjing Sect, Royal Soldier Sect, and Spirit Sword Sect that were exploring the thirty-six chains. Could it be that Kunlun Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect didn't want to be left out?
Mm, this was also normal. The Five Uniques of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals were all super sects. Although the strongest one was Shengjing Sect and the weakest one was Spirit Sword Sect, but overall, they were all on the same level. Therefore, it was also very possible for the Kunlun Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect to catch up from behind.
