323 No One in the Room (1/2)
The players soon arrived at the chamber with the mechanism in the first level of the crystal mine!
With Blood River Sect controlling the situation, the small hall near the chamber with the mechanism did not seem to be congested. The two sect masters and vice sect master cast each other a glance. Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens gritted his teeth and said, ”Brother Absolute, Brother Zhao, I will bring my brothers and lead the way first…”
”Don't, Brother Nine Heavens, you and your brothers have not recovered just yet. Jade Fox Palace and Righteous Sect should be the ones leading the charge. What do you think, Brother Zhao?”
Absolute Nonsense had not just relied on his dashing looks (which plenty of girls fawned over) to form a gigantic organization with more than eight thousand people in Baokang. His strength and charisma were the main reasons why countless people followed him.
”Brother Absolute, you're right. Brother Nine Heavens, you can be the second wave.”
Once Zhao Wuji said that, he and Absolute Nonsense led six of their best people in the sect into the chamber with the mechanism.
Once they placed the berthierite inside…
Boom!
A wall fell down at the entrance of the chamber, separating the two parties.
Once the chamber reopened, it was empty. Absolute Nonsense and the others had already entered the second level. Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens did not dare to be slow, however. He quickly brought his people into the chamber and placed the berthierite inside.
When they entered the place, they did not see the intense battle they expected.
Within the small hall that had the breadth of less than ninety-eight feet was the brilliant and dazzling light that could be seen reflected off the crystal walls. Absolute Nonsense, Zhao Wuji, and the dozen or so elites from their sects stood in the empty and quiet hall with confusion on their faces. They looked surprised and puzzled. One of the sect members had attracted Stone King's attention, and he ran about with the dangerous creature from Life and Death Realm chasing after him.
”Damn it! There's no one around!”
”Looks like the news leaked and they went offline.” Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens reacted very quickly. He frowned and walked before Absolute Nonsense and Zhao Wuji.
”That shouldn't be… What's the use of logging off? If we don't leave, they will only be in an even more passive position!” Absolute Nonsense looked around and paid attention to the spots around him that had been mined.
”No matter what, Thunderous Battle is an elite on the Famous People Rank. It's impossible for him to not understand that,” he said with puzzlement
Zhao Wuji and Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens could only nod in silence.
As long as they stayed there, Thunderous Battle and his group could do nothing about them. They could only stay outside the game, or die the moment they logged in.
While the group was extremely baffled, a messenger pigeon flapped its wings in front of them.
Flap, flap, flap!
There was a second bird! Then the third!
The two sect masters and vice sect master received a messenger pigeon each. Their expressions changed, and they quickly opened the letters! When they read the contents, they sucked in sharp breaths at the same time.
”Brilliant move! As expected of the top player on the Famous People Rank…” Absolute Nonsense smiled bitterly and cast a glance at Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens, whose expression had not been good since the start.
Once Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens read the contents of the letter, the paleness of his face became even more obvious.
The people from Blood River Sect seemed to have understood what was happening after they heard the words. They surrounded Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens with anxious as well as worried expressions.
Their sect master seemed to have become older by a few years when he said with a dry tone, ”Happy is outside the cave…”
”What?!”
The players instantly cried out with unpleasant expressions.
What shocked them was not Happy's arrival, but the timing. After all, all the elites of the three sects had gathered inside, and Absolute Nonsense, who was on the Dragon Rank, was away as well. Together, they were not like the people from Common Reed Bank. If they fought against Happy head on, they might not be afraid of him.
