Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!
Chapter 1434 - 198: Even the Wisest Can Be Deceived by a Ruse
Fizz!
At the edge of the stone cliff beside the underground river, the "Golden Tiger Formation" sensed the approach of a target with high intensity erosion capability, and responded with spiraling, shifting layers of light walls.
This seemed capable of blocking everything. Previously, a top-five expert on the people list exerted all their strength, freely maneuvered, yet had no way against this array, showing its profound mysteries.
Unfortunately, everyone knows that Xu Shu moving with a crab-like stance can be truly domineering, swiftly invisible and untargetable. Although this White Tiger Cave instinctively resisted external forces, it couldn’t stop Xu Shu, who stubbornly entered inside.
This is the specialty of "Wear Nine Ride One," allowing Xu Longxiang to go wherever he pleases.
Inside the White Tiger Cave, as always, it was narrow, with stone walls appearing dry but dark and humid when touched, smooth and warm, resembling Tai Sui flesh. On them were strange tadpole-like ancient symbols, seemingly blood stains, crawling.
"White Tiger Formation, Seven Lodgings complete, forming a world! The seven lodgings include that... uh, what Lou and what Wei, something something mouth..."
After entering the cave, Xu Shu instinctively examined the twisted little symbols on the walls, attempting to translate, but ultimately failed.
"Damn it, whatever, anyway the Seven Treasures Lotus isn’t here in the array, but actually isn’t here."
"Strange, these fonts are so odd. Even though I have related impressions from the journey’s memory, they just don’t read out. How can Xiao Ya read them at once? Exclusive ability of the ’Divine Child’?"
Xu Shu suspiciously scanned the wall symbols, feeling somewhat unconvinced.
But he didn’t dwell on it, there were more important matters at hand, and he familiarly squeezed through the wall.
Hundreds of steps downward, shortly arrived at the exit, saw that naturally exquisite underground lake center island layout, saw Liu Yuan’s excavated tomb, saw the empty large iron box.
"Damn, damn, damn! How is it not here? How can it not be here! Liu Yuan, you old thief, restless even dead, where exactly did you hide the Seven Treasures Lotus?"
"Could it have been taken by someone else long ago? Useless!"
"Knowing this, I shouldn’t have waited so long back then! Damn it, such a treasure, are you worthless enough to own it? You’re indeed deserving of a thousand deaths!"
The voodoo, cloaked and wearing a conical hat, cursed loudly, angry enough to nearly rip apart Liu Yuan’s tomb.
Xu Shu intentionally remained silent this time, wanting to quietly eavesdrop for a while, to see if this "Residual Sound Society leader, Voodoo," would blurt out anything unexpectedly useful in his frenzied state.
But after listening for a while, Xu Shu realized he expected too much. Voodoo appeared to be venting crazily, yet was rational and clear, repeating the same damn, useless words without giving any useful information.
"Hmph, appearing mad, yet unexpectedly tight-lipped, seamless!"
Seeing this, Xu Shu no longer hid, boldly leaped from the cave entrance like a large bird, easily gliding over the water, landing on the lake heart island with a splash.
At this moment.
Voodoo, who was still stomping by the tomb, seemingly unaware, suddenly turned without warning, tossed two fist-sized hollow metal delicate balls filled with gunpowder, and exploded directly in Xu Shu’s face!
Bang! Boom!
"Fool, did you really think I didn’t notice you?"
Amidst the rolling smoke from the explosion, Voodoo swiftly retreated, face full of mockery.
He had already noticed the intruder long ago, but pretended not to know until Xu Shu approached, then suddenly attacked, immediately succeeding.
But in the next second, the smoke was instantly broken open.
Red-robed Xu Shu standing intact, patted the dust off his chest, casually gazed ahead.
"?"
For a fleeting moment, Voodoo’s smile suddenly froze.
He stared hard at the puppet’s eyes, looking at Xu Shu, face full of disbelief.
Nearly half a minute later, Voodoo’s gaze darkened, angrily hissed, "Yu Mingluan! It’s you! You really came back! You dare come back! Aren’t you afraid that the one seeks your death?"
In Voodoo’s eyes, Xu Shu, wearing the "Red Clothes" mask and full-faced beard, who else could it be but Yu Mingluan?
Hearing this, Xu Shu felt a slight chill in his heart.
Voodoo was no weaker than Xiao Ya at the third-tier peak, yet even he referred to "that one," suggesting this was certainly a Demigod Level existence!
According to Xiao Ya and my rational conjecture, the Archbishop is the one who eradicated Ghost Killing Sect back then, and Ghost Killing Sect’s leader Hong Xiu was a direct line of the Blood and Fire Platform’s Hong Family, as a Leader of Dead Cultivators organization, Hong Family definitely had a Demigod backing.
So it seems the one who forced the Archbishop to flee Penglai was this person!
Of Bai Yujing’s five demigods, actually I have friends with four, "Soldier" Dian Jiangchun, "Dongxuan True Monarch" Guang Han Branch, "Breaking Army General" Eight Sounds of Gan State, and also "Soldier" Chao Tianzi!
Who could it be?
Hmm, according to the local saying "xx-zi" suggests a living cultivator, Chao Tianzi can be ruled out first...
But it’s very strange, according to Voodoo, if the Archbishop truly appears, this demigod would personally pursue, settle old scores?
I’ve been in Penglai for quite a long time, annihilation association Yu Mingluan’s renown far spreading, hunted by living cultivators, how come I never saw this demigod act?
