Chapter 150 The Battle of Wits and the Battle of the Divine Sword
That sound?
Zhan Li instantly thought of the person who had walked into the teleportation array on the second floor of the teahouse in Tianlan City—what a small world! The crossbow in his hand, which he had only intended to use to scare Hua Li, was now fully drawn and aimed directly at Shen Yu.
Just as tensions were about to rise, an excited voice suddenly rang out, "Wait a minute."
Hua Li naturally pulled Shen Yu over and winked at him, "Don't be angry, I have a way to deal with him."
The girl's palm was warm, with a slight tingling sensation that spread uncontrollably along the veins of her arm towards her shoulder blade. Shen Yu's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Shen Yu: "You..."
A sly glint flashed in Karin An's eyes. "Just you wait and see."
Seeing her confidence, Shen Yu frowned and stepped back.
People don't feel tired the most when they're doing bad things. Huali excitedly waved to Zhanli, "Come here."
Seeing the girl start to take out her Qiankun bag, Zhan Li snorted, "You're smart to know what's good for you."
But the next second when he saw what Huali was holding, he froze on the spot.
The Xuanji Token of the Witch Clan? How did it end up with her?
Zhan Li retreated suddenly, but Hua Li gave him no chance to escape. As she lightly stroked the token, Zhan Li was quickly frozen in place.
"Slay away."
Zhan Li's face darkened, and his body stiffened as if he were being restrained by puppet strings, as he walked to her side.
"What are you trying to do?!"
The token was actually that useful? Huali was slightly taken aback, then her lips curled up into a classic villainous smile. "Go ahead and scream, no one will listen to you even if you scream your lungs out."
Zhan Li: "..."
"Now explain in detail all the clues you have gathered."
Zhan Li immediately widened his eyes, "Don't go too far."
Huali was too lazy to waste words with him, "Speak!"
The token's light swiftly entered Zhan Li's brow, and his double pupils widened in shock, yet his mouth moved uncontrollably.
"This armory is controlled by a giant gate, and only by finding three keys can the gate be opened."
"What does the key look like? Where is it? How do you know?" Huali asked three questions in quick succession.
Zhan Li gritted his teeth and resisted, but was still no match for the power of the token. "The key is not a physical object... but three energy cores of different shapes... Ranran told me."
Ranran? Is she another one of those missionaries who can deduce history?
Hua Li's expression turned serious. "How many cards has your Ranran lit up so far?"
Two.
"You and Wen Tingyun?" Hua Li understood. Just as she had thought, the other party was progressing slowly, so he hadn't shown up yet.
"Where is she now? What's her plan for bringing you here?"
Zhan Li's fist was already covered in blood, and blood kept dripping from the corner of his lips. "...Search...for...divine...artifact."
A divine artifact? Could it be that the other side's mission is actually to collect all the divine artifacts?
When Zhan Li was in Baiwang Village, his target was the Burning Sky Tower, but now in the Prelude Dream Secret Realm, he has set his sights on the Reincarnation Sundial. It's hard not to be suspicious.
"A fool wouldn't pass up a good deal," Huali said without hesitation, "Then where is the Reincarnation Sundial?"
"I don't know."
"I'll ask you one more time, where is the divine artifact?"
"I don't know!" Zhan Li spat out a mouthful of blood, baring his teeth and roaring, "Ranran cannot deduce the exact location of the divine artifact!"
Seeing that Zhan Li didn't seem to be faking it, Hua Li reluctantly let him go.
After being freed from his restraints, Zhan Li retreated several meters, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth in a disheveled state. "How did the Xuanji Token end up in your hands?"
"The High Priest gave it to me." Huali tossed the token upwards and caught it steadily in her hand.
Shen Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw the girl, like a wild beast baring its fangs, say, word by word, "So, don't mess with me."
Being vengeful is a traditional virtue, and she should inherit it.
Consider this lesson as revenge for the arrow that struck Mo Ziyan on the shoulder in Baiwang Village.
*
The two didn't keep their conversation a secret from others, and once everyone learned about the key's shape, they all went to search for it.
There's nothing to hide anyway; with so many people eyeing it covetously, no one who opens the door can monopolize the weapons and resources inside.
Just as Huali was about to follow, a sneer came from the corner, "I was wondering if the communication stone was broken? How could Tang Wanwan, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, be ranked so high? Turns out she's hooked up with another big shot."
The voice sounded somewhat familiar; it belonged to the same group of people outside Chunxiaowu.
The female cultivator who was speaking saw Hua Li looking over and immediately asked, "Fairy Hua, what treasure did this young lady give you?"
Huali: "..." God the hell is the Flower Fairy.
"Hey, why did you have to expose her? At least give this young lady some face. Now everyone knows her friends are all bribed with magical artifacts... Hey! What are you doing!"
Before the other person could finish speaking, the vine in Huali's hand had already shot straight at the two of them. "No wonder this place smells so bad, it turns out it's because you two are spewing filth!"
Hua Li grabbed Tang Wanwan's icy hand. "What? Are you jealous that she's richer than you?"
The female cultivator immediately flew into a rage, "I'm just trying to be helpful by reminding you that being with her will bring you bad luck and death sooner or later!"
Tang Wanwan, who had been silent, suddenly turned her head and exclaimed, "What did you say?!"
The other party was not afraid at all. Since Mo Ziyan was not here, and the Water Mirror could not broadcast, she could speak freely, "Who doesn't know that your mother, with her dignified Nascent Soul stage cultivation, perished not long after giving birth to you?"
"But you're utterly hopeless; all those magical treasures and elixirs seem to vanish into thin air. It's only because Sect Leader Tang's family is so wealthy and powerful that he can afford to throw money at you like that..."
"Shut up!"
The Xuanfeng Sword and the Rock Dragon simultaneously attacked the female cultivator. Her protective barrier was no match for the combined power of the two, and she was blasted back more than ten meters, coughing up blood.
Karin is furious!
Since the time she arrived at Baiyun Mountain, Tang Wanwan had been helping her. Facing the demonized Lian Zhuo and Bi Fang, one of the Four Lords, the young girl did her best to find a way out for her.
They had only known each other for a short time at that time.
Later, whether it was at Baiwang Mountain or the trial of rogue cultivators, Tang Wanwan helped her save Zhao Heng, deliberately delaying bringing the small tower back to the Sword Sect... Such a good girl, why do they say such things about her!
Seeing the two get up and try to run away, Hua Li was still furious. She swung her vines, but Tang Wanwan grabbed her arm. "There are too many people here. These two are from the Lingyin Sect. Once we're out of the secret realm, let's find a place where we can leave unnoticed..."
Huali nodded, and the two gave each other a high five.
After the brief incident, Shao Siming and Yu Ling returned separately, each holding a key formed from a core of energy.
Before they could even get close, Zhan Li on the other side also successfully found the last weapon.
The key is integrated; the giant gate is about to open.
For some reason, Karin felt a little uneasy.
Although that mission taker claimed to be able to deduce history, who knows if it's true or not?
After all, she had sworn that Zhao Heng would die, but now Zhao Zhao is alive and well, eating five meals a day without missing a single one.
But Zhanli is her chosen one, so she has no reason to betray her own people.
Huali hesitated for a moment but still reminded everyone, "The situation inside the door is unknown, so it's best if everyone activates the defensive barrier."
The crowd reacted with varying expressions; some obeyed, while others scoffed. They all turned their attention to the actions of Shao Siming and the other two.
The moment the key was inserted into the slot, there was a "click" sound.
Before the joy on everyone's faces could fully unfold, it was interrupted by the roar of golden flames that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas.
