583 Entering (2/2)
”Brother Xiao is being quite practical!” Zhou Bao listened and smiled. He did not think that he would meet such a pragmatic person here.
”I'm not being practical, this is the truth!” Xiao Sheng smiled faintly,” No matter what, I am a disciple of the Palace of Eternal Life. This time it is mainly my palace working with you, naturally, I wouldn't want any accidents to happen!”
”Accidents?!” Zhou Bao's gaze flashed and he looked at Xiao Sheng. ”Brother Xiao thinks that there will be an accident?!”
”I'm saying it just in case, King Wuyang, you do not need to take it seriously!” Xiao Sheng laughed and led Zhou Bao into a part of the palace. He worked efficiently at arranging Zhou Bao's accommodation. Since he was only spending one night, and also because he was a practitioner, there was not much to organize. He only gave the handyman some orders and smiled as he took his leave, as if nothing happened.
”Accident? Seems like this time around the Infinite Star Sea is not peaceful at all!”
After giving it much thought, Zhou Bao was able to understand. The five biggest sects of the Four Eastern Regions and that of the Three Western Regions have been enemies for so many years. Their grievances could be piled up onto countless numbers of trucks if they were solid. This time around, the Four Eastern Regions had made such a careless mistake, causing the powers of the five biggest sects to fall by half. The five biggest sects were already forgiving enough to not pick on a fight, how would they be willing to lend a Transmitting Formation so willingly to save their enemies' people? Perhaps the people of the Four Eastern Regions could use the safety of the Seven-deity Regions as an excuse, but would the people of Three Western Regions believe them?
No, not necessarily.
They only agreed to the request of the five biggest sects of Four Eastern Regions because of some individual private transactions. In such transactions, the five biggest sects of the Three Western Regions gained huge profits, which was why they agreed to it. If not, even if the sky scattered, they would not agree.
And now, even after agreeing, Zhou Bao heard those worrying words from Xiao Sheng.
”Perhaps there may be some variables inside the sect?” He thought to himself while remaining calm. ”That is good anyway, then I'll use this chance to try how strong the divine artifact is after infusing it with my Fiery Eye! I have just gotten control of it. While it is fully functional, I am still not familiar with it. I can use this opportunity to familiarise myself with it, that's not bad!” Thinking about this, he smiled.
No words were spoken for the rest of the night. On the second day, as soon as the sun started to rise, Xiao Sheng appeared in front of Zhou Bao's room. He gazed into his eyes and smiled. An earth-color wind started surging beside him. It turned out to be his Gang Qi. Breaking through space at an amazing speed, in just a moment, they were hundreds of miles away. Zhou Bao was obviously not scared of the speed, but he did not want to pick up a fight there. He followed Xiao Sheng calmly and flew in the skies at an alarming speed for a few hours before arriving at their destination.
It was another island on the sea.
”This is that goddamn place, where there's nobody!” Both of them landed on the island. Zhou Bao's eyebrows were slightly raised. The isolated condition of the island led him to start to worry.
Beside him, Xiao Sheng's expression started to turn ugly. He took out a token from his chest and lifted it to the sky. The surrounding space shooked and a gateway opened.
”Eh? Junior Brother Lin, what is going on!” Once the gateway opened, Xiao Sheng's expression froze before Zhou Bao even had time to react. Xiao Sheng's body entered the gateway in a flash and Zhou Bao followed closely behind. What he saw were four corpses lying on the ground. After Zhou Bao entered, the gateway suddenly disappeared, trapping the two of them in that mysterious space.
