231 Big Sister’s Powerful Penetration (1/2)
The treasure room in the Ancient Sword Tomb was relatively spacious. However, at this time, nearly forty people were squeezed in it, making it appear somewhat crowded and the atmosphere a bit stifled. When Wang Lu and the others arrived through transmission array, they immediately aroused the attention of everyone like cold water being poured into a hot pan.
”Who is it!?”
”Again? Get them out of here, these small fries…”
The room was filled with noises. Wang Lu couldn’t help but frown; this kind of mess did not match with any plan that he got.
However, even if this was unplanned, it didn’t matter. As long as he coped the turn of events by sticking to the fundamental principle… there was nothing to be afraid of.
Upon regaining his calm and composure, Wang Lu swept everyone around him. Most of the faces were unfamiliar, but he also found a few familiar ones. The other side, of course, had also recognized Wang Lu, which, after a moment of hesitation, came up to him.
”Brother Wang!”
A slight smile then hung on Wang Lu’s face. ”Little Hai… and Brother Ziye over there, long time no see.”
The other side was obviously the group of disciples from the Ten Thousand Arts Sect. Ye Feifei, Zhao Jiangyuan and the others who participated in the competition between the two sects in the past were also present. There were also two other disciples with similar cultivation base, which were obviously also elite disciples of Ten Thousand Arts Sect, making their group a total of seven people.
”What happened here?”
Hai Yunfan wryly smiled. ”Human’s calculation could not be compared with the heaven’s calculation.”
Since even the disciples of Ten Thousand Arts Sect who were known for their calculation said this, it seemed like there really was a great turn of event… Moreover, thinking about this difficult-to-handle turn of event, as well as the current scene, Wang Lu said, ”Shengjing?”
Although it was still unknown why Shengjing Sect was able to disturb the highly confidential plan of the three sects, able to make the three sects’ calculation void, avoid Daoist Master Feng Yin’s divination, and make the disciples of Ten Thousand Arts Sect feel deeply helpless… No matter how he thought about it, only Shengjing Sect could meet those criteria.
”Yes, it’s Shengjing Sect!”
A forceful voice suddenly butted in. Then, a tall male cultivator emerged from the crowd and arrived in front of Wang Lu, towering over him.
Wang Lu’s figure was above average, but in front of this person, he was like an adolescent child. If he looked straight ahead, he could only see the opposite party’s chest.
Then, without lifting his head, Wang Lu said while looking straight at the other side’s chest, ”Fellow Daoist from Shengjing Sect? We did not expect a visit from honored guests, so please forgive our manners.”
Although this cultivator from the Shengjing Sect was tall, he was not as reckless as he look. Hearing Wang Lu’s words, he knew immediately that Wang Lu had implied that he and the other people were uninvited guests? Nevertheless, he ignored the metaphor of such words and just coldly said, ”You guys are from Spirit Sword Sect? I don’t have much nonsense to say to you, just go back where you come from, lest you’re going to cause trouble here and be a hindrance.”
Wang Lu lightly said, ”Dove occupies the magpie’s nest, is this the way of life of your Shengjing Sect?”
”Dove occupies the magpie’s nest? Ridiculous! When did this ownerless thing become your home?”
Hearing this remark, Wang Lu immediately smiled and then raised his head. ”Since you also admit that no one owns this place, then it means it’s also not owned by your Shengjing Sect. Let us put aside the dispute and work together towards the common goal, exploring the deeper levels of this ancient sword tomb, each with their own chance… Wouldn’t that be nice?”
”What a glib tongue!” The tall cultivator let out a sneer but did not speak again; from his condescending glance, there was a hint of appreciation.
Different from Zhou Mumu of Kunlun Immortal Sect and Zhan Ziye of Ten Thousand Arts Sect, the other two group leaders, this young cultivator from Blue River Region before him seemed to be more sophisticated and also more pragmatic.
When his group first met the people of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, the two sects nearly fought against each other. Zhou Mumu, as the team leader of the group from Kunlun Immortal Sect, completely did not expect to meet them here. In her surprise, she immediately made a false accusation, slandering Shengjing Sect of using dirty tricks to steal the secrets of the three sects. With that, a single remark turned into a fierce contention.
Later on, people from Ten Thousand Arts Sect came to the scene. Unsurprisingly, they were also inexplicably surprised. However, Zhan Ziye was actually somewhat calmer than Zhou Mumu. After Zhan Ziye had correctly guessed some of the facts, he did not directly accuse Shengjing Sect of doing dirty tricks. However, Zhan Ziye also stressed that the ancient sword tomb belonged to the three sects, Kunlun Immortal Sect, Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Spirit Sword Sect; Shengjing Sect has no right to intervene...
F*cking fart!
Using dirty tricks to steal the three sects’ secret? When Shengjing Sect wants to know something, do they need to steal it from your home? What a short-sighted and ignorant fool you are!
Shengjing Sect has its force spread throughout the Nine Regions; it was not just for the immediate temporary interest. Their continent-wide strategy had been implemented for more than a thousand years. During which, Shengjing Sect didn’t really do much looting, however, Shengjing Sect’s imprint has been deeply engraved everywhere throughout the Nine Regions...
Then, using the lifetime’s power, the Sect Leader Daoist Master He Tu created the Immortal Treasure Nine Regions Chart, which was linked with the Nine Regions geography, henceforth, the world’s affair was completely under its control.
Therefore, how could Shengjing Sect not know about the appearance of the ancient sword tomb in the Southern Heaven Region?
Of course, even if it was an Immortal Treasure Nine Regions Chart, it was impossible to calculate all of the change in the world. It could only perceive the important events, without providing enough details. Moreover, in the area where the force of Shengjing Sect was slightly inferior, the Nine Regions Chart was relatively insensitive. Coupled with how big Nine Regions were, which meant events and changes big or small constantly occurred, thus, no matter how powerful Shengjing Sect was, it was still difficult for them to take everything into account. For example, the news about the birth of immortal beast at the Grand Cloud Mountain only appeared vague in the Nine Regions Chart, therefore, it didn’t attract enough attention. Afterward, when it finally gave a clear warning, Bai Shixuan has already transformed her form and Fifth Elder of Spirit Sword Sect had already arrived at the Grand Cloud Mountain, thus, the Shengjing Sect had to give up. As for the Ancient Sword Tomb in the Southern Heaven Region, initially, Shengjing Sect also mistook it. They mistakenly thought that, at most, the Ancient Sword Tomb only possessed one or two top-grade spiritual treasures; It was not worth to spend too much manpower and resources on it. When they also got the news that there were three of the Five Uniques that went there to compete, there was no need for Shengjing Sect to push the matter too hard.
However, when a Spirit Sword Sect’s disciple finally took the treasure, Shengjing Sect detected an anomaly. On the Nine Regions Chart, the symbol of the birth of rare treasure not only did not disperse, but it also vaguely grew stronger, though it was only intermittent and indistinct. Using supreme divination, the Sect Leader found that there might be a secret hidden deep within the tomb. However, since it was just an inherited ancient sword tomb, it would be hard to break it without using brute force. Therefore, he immediately ordered the sect’s elite disciples to form a team to explore the tomb.
The response from Shengjing Sect was actually slower than the three sects, however, as the number one sect in the Immortal Path, their advantage was obvious. Though they started late, with their original internal management model, they became the first to complete the mobilization. From the Immortal City of the Central Region, as well as their various divisions, they gathered a twenty-five person raid team and directly went for the entrance of the sword tomb. They did not have the transmission marks left behind like the Kunlun Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect, yet Shengjing Sect team only used less than half a day to break through all the three levels and arrive at the treasure room; their efficiency was extraordinary!
Of course, for people of the Shengjing Sect, this seemed normal. Although these twenty-five people were hastily gathered, all of them were the elites of the sect, absolutely without any untalented person at all. The team leader was peak Xudan Stage Power King Jianglu, the seventh of the nineteenth successor disciples. His fighting style, Unbreakable Mysterious Metal, has reached the sixteenth heaven layer realm, and his comprehensive strength was not below the lead representative from the other Five Uniques. His assistants were the twins Wangyue Luanyu and Wangyue Luanyun which ranked seventeenth and eighteenth of the nineteen successor disciples. The two of them held the yin and yang treasure chest, which, if combined, have the power even more than that of a gushing river. The rest of the more than twenty team members were also the elite disciples of their generation; even the weakest among them has cultivation base of middle-level Xudan Stage. Coupled with their first class Immortal Cultivation Method, and body full of magical treasures, each of them has the comprehensive strength not that much inferior to the Jindan Stage Daoist Master of any high-rank sect.
With such a strong team, why would they need to steal information from the other three sects? With their ability alone, they were more than capable to smoothly explore the sword tomb.
Uninvited guest, dove occupies the magpie’s nest? What a joke, when their team have already entered the treasure room and was trying to open the entrance to the fourth level, only then did the Kunlun team arrived! There was no trace of Zhan Ziye’s team from Ten Thousand Arts Sect and other people. The three sects should be the uninvited guests here!
After becoming aware of this problem, Wang Lu simply didn’t dwell on the right to explore the sword tomb and proposed to put aside the dispute while at the same time didn’t put himself and his team in a weaker position. From the logical point of view, his reasoning was also the most difficult to refute.
After all, although Shengjing Sect was the first to arrive, as the original competitor, the other three sects held the supreme advantage. Therefore, the right to exploit the tomb was still entirely unclear.
How to deal with an unclear problem? Very simple, the first was just like what Wang Lu said earlier, put aside the disagreement first and explore the tomb, the other one was...
”What a joke, who wants to put aside the disagreement with you?” A thin and tall cultivator from the Shengjing Sect team laughed. ”Do you think you can compete for the treasures against Shengjing Sect? Are you delusional?”
