Chapter 321: Dangerous Flight Path (2/2)
Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide looked at their elder brother, wondering what he had been scheming.
”What do you want to do with the Siren City?”
Liu Xuande's face turned solemn. He stared at the west without hiding his greed and ambition.
”I want it. There's something good in there, and I want the entire city.”
”…”
”Don't look at me like that. It is for the sake of our alliance and our families! Think about the medicinal water from the moat! We could have made several elixirs and shipped them back to Holy Land Continent. Do you know how many essence cores we can get from this!? Billions! We could exchange them for soul stones! SOUL STONES! DON'T YOU WANT SOUL STONES!?”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fell silent. They slightly nodded as they agreed to what Liu Bei had said.
With soul stones, they might have a chance to advance to the 9th-stage, the last stage of mortal levels. Beyond that, they would ascend to the immortal level, and nobody in the mortal world, including the Heavenly Eyes, could look down upon them anymore.
After getting the approval of his brothers, Liu Xuande picked up his phone and called his subordinates.
Showing on his J-Phone was the name [Jian Yong].

As soon as Liu Xuande made the call, the other side picked up within two seconds.
[Yes, young master Liu?]
”Jian Yong, is your pavilion busy?”
[Not as busy at the moment. Aside from the absurd request of the Dong Clan's remnant, we don't have much work to do. Do you have a job for us, young master Liu?]
”I do. Say, did Yuan Shaoqing send an alliance request to your pavilion, too?”
[Indeed. Would you like to hear it?]
”Nah. I already knew what that upstarted bitch had been trying to do. I just want to commission a job.”
[I'm all ears.]
”Okay, listen carefully…”
…
After getting 10km away from Liu Xuande, Miaomiao's group took a short break to catch their breath.
Confronting two 8th-stage cultivators face-to-face was dangerous. Had something gone wrong, they could have killed them with a flicker of fingers. Fortunately, they let them leave unconditionally.
Miaomiao didn't know whether Liu Bei had an ulterior motive for letting them go. But for now, he needed to inform the elders about the lurking threats.
He texted Jia Shan right away. He also rubbed his master ring, sending telepathic voice transmission to his slaves, telling them about the brief encounter.
Jia Shan simply replied to the text with a [Okay] sticker. Then, he warned Miaomiao.
[On the return trip, take a long detour to the north. Head to the Tian Long Forest first, then follow the coastline south to our city on foot. Tell us when you're about to depart from Tian Long Forest. We'll send some experts to escort you home.]
”Roger that.”
Miaomiao was glad that Jia Shan had the same idea as his. Since they might buy a lot of supplies from the suspicious dungeon master, they might encounter thieves, bandits, or cultivators from the Yuan Clan on their way home. They might even run into Liu Xuande again, and the latter might extort them for their treasures.
Also, Chicken Ann City was close to Mount Hua, the place where another OP protagonist had been lurking. He didn't want to fly through here again.

Ling Tianlong had the same name as the Tian Long Forest.
This protagonist seemed similar to Lu Fengxian, judging from the basic stats and detail. However, having level 7 in luck meant that he could get fortuitous encounters anytime, anywhere, and in any form.
Returning home using the same flight path was akin to betting if this protagonist would accidentally show up, beat them by an accident, and unintentionally steal their spatial rings.
OP protagonists were usually shameless bullies. They face-slapped everyone whom they came across, including their allies. As such, encountering an invincible protagonist stranger on the way home or on the way toward Red Sun City might spell disasters.
”Let's hurry. We don't want to stay here for long.”
Fogan and Liu Guang nodded as they didn't want Liu Bei and his brothers to follow them. The group drank a mouthful of unified element water to restore their stamina and continued flying east.
…
On top of a mountain range, southeast of Chicken Ann City, a lone young man stared into a distance as if he had been observing something far away. His eyes followed a group of two humans and an orc, heading east in a hurry.
”Hmm.”
The young man turned around, heading back to the sect's training ground. Just now, he had an urge to leave the sect for the first time.
”I have a feeling that I should follow those people…”
