Chapter 770 - Sixteen shooting saber qi from her mouth (2/2)

Yu Jiaojiao pondered for a moment, and said, “According to the info Shuhang gathered, the golden lotus of the scholarly faction is about to mature, right? If there is really someone pulling the strings from behind the scenes… their goal would be complete once the golden lotus matures, right?”

Su Clan’s Sixteen added, “In addition, the scholarly faction seems intent on taking down those ten demonic hives outside the filtering nets to speed up the growth of the golden lotus…”

Song Shuhang nodded, and looked at the sky outside.

Amidst the filtering nets in the sky, the cultivators of the scholarly faction, the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, as well as the other cultivators that had stayed behind to lend a hand to the White Cloud Academy, were still engaged in battle with the demons of the Netherworld Realm.

Above the filtering nets, only five of the original ten demonic hives were left. At this time, demons were still endlessly coming out of their bodies.

Of course, there was a limit to the number of demons that could be stored inside the demonic hives, but this time, the Netherworld Realm had opened a temporary s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage not too far away from the White Cloud Academy. This temporary s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage was different from those other s.p.a.ce cracks that led to the Netherworld, and ordinary demons were unable to pa.s.s through this temporary s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage.

However, these demonic hives of the Eighth Stage rank could freely shuttle back and forth through this temporary s.p.a.ce pa.s.sage.

As such… these ten demonic hives of the Eighth Stage formed two groups and took turns to transport over the demons of the Netherworld Realm.

If they didn’t take care of these demonic hives of the Eighth Stage, the Netherworld Realm would have an endless number of reinforcements at its disposal during the course of this war.

Their numbers would keep increasing, while those of the other party were decreasing without a stop. If the White Cloud Academy didn’t quickly find a way to deal with this situation, they would inevitably fall into a hopeless situation.

After overseeing the scene, Song Shuhang said, “From the strategic point of view, it’s better to take care of those ten demonic hives of the Eighth Stage as soon as possible.”

However, did the current White Cloud Academy have the strength to deal with those ten demonic hives of the Eighth Stage?

Even if these demonic hives of the Eighth Stage weren’t combat-type demons, they were still ent.i.ties of the Eighth Stage Realm!

Venerable Tornado—who was wielding a G.o.dly weapon of the Tribulation Transcender-rank—was only able to teleport to a distant place one of the ten demonic hives through the power of s.p.a.ce… but in just half an hour, that demonic hive had already traveled back to the airs.p.a.ce of the White Cloud Academy.

Even Venerable White was only able to send flying that demonic hive to an alt.i.tude of a thousand meters after hitting it with his jade green ball, but was unable to cause any substantial injury to the demonic hive.

❄️❄️❄️

“In that case, should we continue helping the White Cloud Academy to defend the place?” Yu Jiaojiao also raised her head and looked toward the filtering nets. This battle between the scholarly faction and the Netherworld Realm wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

She was somewhat worried at this time. Her father, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, was a close friend of True Monarch Eternal Fire. Therefore, it was very likely that he would keep defending this place until the very end…

Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, and said, “I feel that there is no point in mulling over this matter. We should take advantage of the fact that Venerable White hasn’t recalled Meteor Sword yet to kill another wave of demons of the Fourth Stage. Then, while fighting against the demons, we should transmit these two pieces of information that I told you to the various seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. At that time, it will be up to the seniors to decide whether we should stay here and defend the place or evacuate. It’s pointless for us to keep worrying about it.”

After all, the strength of the trio was nowhere high enough, and it would be very difficult for them to retreat unharmed from his battle between the White Cloud Academy and the Netherworld Realm by relying on their own strength.

Even if they wanted to run, they could only wait for the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group and leave together with them.

Therefore, it was pointless to worry about this matter, and they should just let the seniors decide what to do!

“Ah~ Shuhang, what you said makes sense,” Yu Jiaojiao said with a smile. “In that case, let’s go kill another wave of demons and get our hands on as many seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus as possible… After all, this might be our last opportunity to obtain the seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus!”

No one knew if the golden lotus of the scholarly faction would still produce seeds after maturing.

“Right, speaking of lotus seeds… did you two eat your seeds? What kind of special skill did you obtain?” Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.

“We already ate them, and we got our special skills as well. The skill I’ve obtained is somewhat similar to yours, Shuhang.” Su Clan’s Sixteen faintly raised her head, and a happy expression flashed through her eyes.

“Did you also gain the ability to spit out flowers?” Song Shuhang asked in puzzlement.

Su Clan’s Sixteen shook her head, and gently opened her red lips, exhaling a mouthful of air. Afterward, a small streak of saber qi shot out of her mouth and cut the teacup on the table.

“Ding~” The teacup was neatly cut into two halves; the cut was incredibly smooth. Although small, that streak of saber qi was incredibly sharp!

Song Shuhang: ?

Song Shuhang was speechless.

How was this skill ‘similar’ to his? The extraordinary skill Sixteen obtained was the one he longed for even in his dreams!

The corner of Su Clan’s Sixteen’s mouth rose.

Song Shuhang turned his head toward Yu Jiaojiao, and asked, “Jiaojiao, what about you? What kind of skill did you obtain?”

“The skill I’ve obtained is very useful and ultra-cool,” Yu Jiaojiao said as she demonstrated the extraordinary skill she’d obtained to Song Shuhang.

She stretched out her claws, and her fingernails increased in length while a.s.suming a metallic color and l.u.s.ter.

No wonder Song Shuhang felt so much pain when Yu Jiaojiao poked his face earlier… it wasn’t that she hadn’t trimmed her nails, but that her nails had undergone a mutation!
