Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1352 - 617: Gathering Storm Clouds
The Divine Temple was empty;
the world so silent it felt unusual.
The insults from Wang Jixuan still echoed in the ears and hearts of the various experts. It couldn't be said to be soul-stirring, nor would it provide them any twisted pleasure; there was only mutual hostility, with neither side backing down.
Sword Nine, who was in the high sky, calmly sheathed his treasure sword.
Sword Nine snorted coldly and said nothing before disappearing without a trace.
As Po Luo's wisp of a shadow vanished, the entire Divine Temple fell into complete silence.
Wang Jixuan breathed a sigh of relief inside, beads of cold sweat were evaporated directly; yet, on the surface, he remained calm, as if everything was under his control and the victory was assured.
Suddenly, a transmission voice reached Master Wang's ear.
This voice was faint, seemingly coming from nowhere, but it was sent by Po Luo.
"The negotiation has broken down, hasn't it? I came in person for nothing. In that case, we can only fight to the death… I admire you; Hei Yao is merely your substitute, and you should realize that…
"If the Material Universe suffers severe damage or even destruction in the future, you too will bear a small part of the responsibility.
"You left me no retreat, forcing me to take such actions... If it weren't for Mu Dan's threat, I would have killed you outright, but now we're locked in a single-log bridge gamble.
"You call me trash, but aren't you the same? You can't protect anything.
"Wang Jixuan." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
The name 'Wang Jixuan' seemed like a Demon Sound, continuously circling in Wang Jixuan's ear.
Master Wang shook his head vigorously, bursting out with Primordial Spirit Power, finally sweeping that lingering voice out of his ear.
He was just about to continue cursing that worm, but the other party had already vanished.
"Wang, Wang Shidi…"
Feng Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the side:
"Didn't you just straight-up cuss?"
"What else would I do?"
Wang Jixuan stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the lightness and ease of having won an argument. He said calmly:
"This is my mortal enemy; should I act all sympathetic and endearing just to appear as a lofty individual?
"This fragmented fellow is essentially a filthy monster.
"Just tell me if my cursing was on point or not."
Feng Zheng gave a thumbs-up.
Bai Ning's eyes sparkled: "Wang Shidi is correct, this is just how it should be. Although the words are somewhat coarse, I don't mind."
Feng Zheng took a half-step back silently.
Wang Jixuan smiled without speaking, looking up towards the horizon where no figure was left.
With Po Luo's appearance, this should stir the forces from all sides;
even Wang Jixuan didn't know what this guy truly wanted to do.
He turned to leave, several layers of doubts emerging in his heart, and could only seek counsel with those he completely trusted.
"Eh?"
Bai Ning suddenly pointed at the sky and asked:
"What's that over there?"
Wang Jixuan looked up to see flame-colored clouds rolling from all directions, at an extreme distance in the Sky Dome.
The world seemed to erupt with a series of tiger roars and dragon cries, the entire space bathing in Immortal Light.
Rumble, rumble—
The earth began to tremble incessantly.
Sword Nine appeared with a swoosh behind Wang Jixuan and the others, wary of any potential threats.
However, this celestial disturbance only lasted a few breaths.
The fiery clouds at the horizon disappeared without a trace, and the Immortal Light in the world vanished, leaving everyone puzzled.
Sword Nine pinched his fingers in calculation, looking somewhat confused.
Wang Jixuan asked: "Teacher, what's the matter?"
"Nothing could be calculated, as your teacher is not particularly skilled in Magic calculations."
Sword Nine shook his head slightly:
"Let's go back first."
Wang Jixuan responded promptly, being escorted away alone by Sword Nine.
Upon arriving at the main Immortal Island's large array of Sword God Palace, Wang Jixuan saw hundreds of streams of light flying from various parts of the Sword God Palace towards every direction.
These were hundreds of Sword God Palace experts heading out to investigate.
...
A moment later.
Master Wang gathered Red Snake, Mu Dan, Xiao Huating, Shen Qionglin, and also invited his own teacher, Sword Nine, along with the 'Landlord' Luoshan Hermit from the third base.
Everyone met and conferred in the spire newly built at the third base.
Mechanical bodies shuttled back and forth, while several silver-white female robots dressed in maid outfits served them tea and snacks.
Without being alone with Wang Jixuan, Mu Dan rarely did the work of serving tea and water.
After all, she was the Queen of the entire Mechanical Civilization, bowing before her only master was based on their master-servant agreement; before others, Mu Dan still cared about the thoughts of other mechanical bodies.
Wang Jixuan went straight to the point: "Po Luo's appearance this time, I just feel something's not right."
"Hmm," Shen Qionglin responded, "His appearance should have been a big deal. Normally, unless it's absolutely necessary and his subordinates can't solve the problem, he wouldn't personally show up."
"Isn't it the case now?" Red Snake retorted, "I feel like, it's as if he wanted to appear personally to persuade us, but he got interrupted before he could finish."
Everyone looked at Sword Nine.
Wang Jixuan smiled, recounting Po Luo's final transmitted words word-for-word to them.
The single-log bridge gamble.
Now, Wang Jixuan and Po Luo were both on a single-log bridge, both moving forward, with one side eventually having to fall off the bridge.
Luoshan Hermit asked curiously, "Po Luo said, Mu Dan can threaten him?"
"Yes," Wang Jixuan nodded, "This is a complicated matter to explain. You could say that the reason Po Luo considers me his opponent is because of Mu Dan's existence."
Mu Dan responded with a charming smile.
She liked when Wang Jixuan praised her in front of others.
Sword Nine and Luoshan Hermit exchanged looks, sizing up Mu Dan.
