468 Observer Ward (1/2)
Many people said that there was only a fine line between a genius and a madman.
As the lead disciple of Kunlun Sect, a super sect within the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, Zhou Mumu was undoubtedly a genius. However, whenever this genius saw Wang Lu, she felt that Wang Lu was standing on the other side of the line, very far away, and waving at her.
”Soon, the first field trip on the wind of destruction will begin!”
Upon hearing Wang Lu's enthusiastic words, Zhou Mumu could not believe her ears.
”What did you say?” She asked him.
Wang Lu repeated those words without even changing his tone.
”Are you mad?” Zhou Mumu exclaimed.
Hearing this, Wang Lu simply smiled without saying anything, while Zhan Ziye simply let out a contemptuous sneer and said, ”Mortal wisdom.”
Zhou Mumu refused to pay attention to Zhan Ziye's provocation, but just anxiously said, ”It doesn't matter if Zhan Ziye that guy wants to die, but how could you, Wang Lu, follow his nonsense? Previously, we have already determined the authenticity of the wind of destruction, which is not an irresponsible talk from Aba, yet you actually dare to try it? Do you really think Non-Phase Sword Defense is actually invincible?”
Now, even Wang Lu showed his disdainful smile. ”The wisdom of mortal...
Before he could finish, Zhou Mumu had already stepped forward and grabbed his collar. ”I'm not joking with you!”
”... Alright-alright, things are like this.”
Wang Lu had to elaborate to them the plan for the field trip drawn up by him and Zhan Ziye.
”First is the purpose of the study. At present, our clues on how to return to Nine Regions have basically been cut off. Anyone we ask in the new demon world basically has the same answer, that the space barrier of the new demon world is unbreakable. During this period, we have also tried to break through the barrier for several times, including using the heavenly talisman and other things. Which proves that the new demon world is completely isolated from the Nine Regions… But I don't think that it's time to be in despair, because there are too many unknown contents in the new demon world that are waiting to be explored. Perhaps the clues to return to Nine Regions are hidden in it. That being the case, the wind of destruction is undoubtedly the most suspicious.”
Wang Lu explained, ”According to the legends that spread in the new demon world, all those who walked under the curtain of the night when the wind of destruction is blowing are dead. But no one had ever seen their bones, as if they simply disappeared. Even the royal family is no exception. So, in light of this, I think there are two possibilities. One, the wind of destruction is simply that powerful, so much that even a Daoist Master of Deity Stage is vulnerable to it. Two… I doubt that the wind of destruction completely eliminated those people. I think it just transferred them to somewhere else.”
”Transferred them to somewhere else?”
Wang Lu's speculation was a surprise to everyone, because at first glance, there was no basis for this speculation. However, if they really thought about it, it seemed to be very reasonable! Many difficult to explain situations could be explained by this reasoning!
”Then, according to your guess, where might the wind of destruction send those people?”
Wang Lu said, ”Whatever the place is, it is better than this cage-like new demon world. And more importantly, this is the only possible breakthrough direction that we have. The new demon world is filled with numerous talented demons, but they have yet to find a way to another world in two thousand years. I don't think that repeating their previous attempts will achieve any breakthrough result. However, the wind of destruction is perhaps the only blind spot of the demon race in the new demon world for two thousand years.”
”... What you say does make sense, but do you have to rush to give away your life like this?”
”Of course we're not going to give away our lives…”
However, before Wang Lu's voice fell, he heard Qiong Hua sigh and interrupt him, ”If Junior Brother Wang Lu wants to encourage me to go to the wind of destruction to be your scout… you better give up that idea as soon as possible.”
Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Zhan Ziye. ”Senior Brother Ziye, looks like we have to use plan B.”
Zhan Ziye said with a voice that conveyed his regret, ”As the lead disciple of Shengjing Sect and the top Daoist Master of Jindan Stage in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, Senior Sister Qiong Hua unexpectedly can't see the overall situation, and also has no academic exploration spirit. This is indeed regrettable.”
However, the two men had apparently expected the refusal of Qiong Hua, thus Zhan Ziye immediately fished out his spare equipment from his mustard seed bag.
It was a quaint, slightly quirky dry branch. At the end of the branch hung two big eyeballs. Were it not for this dry branch being filled with living creature aura, no matter what it looked like a cursed object.
”What is this?” Zhou Mumu asked.
”Sentry guard.” Zhan Ziye answered, ”This is the latest device product designed by us, Ten Thousand Arts Sect. Its main part lies in the place between life and death. It possesses powerful perception and resonance ability. In the last two days, I and Junior Brother Wang Lu worked together to further transform it so that its captured images could be projected directly on the water curtain, without us personally establishing contact with it, to avoid the risk. As soon as we put it outside the city, we can wait in here for the wind of destruction to arrive. Then we can watch the image from outside the city by the sentry guard and analyze its mystery.”
Hearing this, Zhou Mumu was surprised, and she immediately shook her head. ”This is too whimsical. This new demon world also has devices similar to this sentry guard. If this remote monitoring can resolve the secret of the wind of destruction, the demon race would have already done it.”
”Humph, wisdom of a mortal!” Zhan Ziye coldly snorted, and then explained, ”The failure of the demon race's remote monitoring is because the moment the wind of destruction arrives, all the devices are eliminated instantly, so there's not enough time to pass on the information, and there are no wrecks for people to study. My sentry guard is different from those devices of the demon race. Its biggest advantage is that the information is passed in the way of resonance, so that the image is perfectly synchronized, without any barrier. At the same time, the information transmission frequency is also very fast, and its sensitivity is very high so that any details will not be missed. As soon as the wind of destruction come, I will be able to find the secret through the sentry guard.”
”This…” Zhou Mumu was slightly shaken. If it was just remote monitoring, then it seemed like there was no risk and very feasible. ”Alright… but you guys must be careful, because, I always have a bad feeling about this, like there's a great danger hidden behind this wind of destruction.”
”Because you have a big heart1, you should try it personally,” Wang Lu said.
