In the end, the leader of the Jiuwu Alliance secured a severe punishment for himself: three months of seclusion.
"Master, I'm telling you, you absolutely must keep an eye on him!" Xia Xiang said seriously. "Until his ability index reaches 70,000, his seclusion will be extended indefinitely—"
Shen Xingzhe and Jiu Wu sat on small stools, dumbfounded, staring at Xia Xiang.
"I only have 51,000 points right now. How many months do you mean?" Jiu Wu asked again, feeling that he hadn't heard clearly.
Why does he feel like he's being forced by his parents to take the college entrance exam?
"A bet is a bet, Alliance Leader, you're not going to renege on it, are you?" Xia Xiang squinted at him distrustfully.
"I'm going into seclusion. See you later." Jiu Wu put down the snacks in his hand and locked himself in the cultivation room.
"I...I..." The Walker, holding snacks in his hand, seemed a little lost.
Why did he feel like he was the apprentice and Xia Xiang was the master?! It was utterly upside down!
"Keep it up!" Xia Xiang nodded and encouraged him.
Xia Xiang had only taken two steps and hadn't even left the house when the voice of the Gun Spirit King rang out behind her.
"You idiot! How can you possibly win in a one-on-one fight?"
"There's not enough time," Xia Xiang's voice choked as she turned around. "If I die, everyone I care about will be gone, including you all. If he dies, there's still a glimmer of hope."
"Big brother, will you help me?" Xia Xiang asked.
"Call me Master," Gun Spirit King corrected.
Xia Xiang obediently changed her address to "Master," though she actually felt it was strange to call him "Big Brother," since he was Huaiying's big brother.
“I need to discuss this with your other master, but he doesn’t even know I exist yet. If he doesn’t accept it, there’s nothing I can do,” said the Gun Spirit King. “I’ve known Huai Yuan Chu the longest, so defeating him won’t be easy.”
“I know, but I have other ways,” Xia Xiang said. “So you just need to protect Jiu Wu for me.”
"Since you want the people of the Iron Dimension to sever ties with you, then breaking the life-sharing bond between you and Jiu Wu is necessary; otherwise, it will be very dangerous for you," Gun Spirit King suggested.
"No," Xia Xiang shook her head.
Because of his physical constitution, the faster Jiu Wu cultivates, the faster he dies, which is very disadvantageous for both himself and the Iron Dimension.
"Alright, alright, I'll keep an eye on him myself. You can go now," said Gun Spirit King.
Xia Xiang left after that, intending to return to Demon-Slaying Island, but the scroll reappeared in front of her, glowing.
"Sigh~ Can I take a break?" Xia Xiang said helplessly, but still held the scroll and went to a time and space of unknown origin.
[Three hours until Earth Time Reset Countdown]
Xia Xiang, with an expression of resignation, calmly let the scroll take her to the Earth Dimension.
There are no superpowered beings in the Earth Dimension, and the overall environment is relatively peaceful, except for small-scale wars between Muggles in some places.
There was no such thing as a superhuman in this spacetime, but more than ten years ago, due to a time quake, a small gap appeared here, so the Iron Dimension sent superhumans to guard this place.
The squad guarding this area had already been recalled before Xia Xiang arrived.
Xia Xiang came here to repair this gap. With her current abilities, hiding the Earth Dimension is a piece of cake.
Although a lot of energy was lost, at least this spacetime won't be destroyed.
She wanted to defeat Huai Yuanchu, but that didn't mean she would become as ruthless as him.
After doing all this, Xia Xiang immediately headed to the Water Dimension—
According to records from Bamo Island, the Water Dimension is completely covered by azure water, with almost no land.
In the water-dimensional world, people live in water like fish, able to breathe freely, and therefore reside in water.
However, in the current water dimension, the azure water has turned dark green and emits a foul odor. There are also ugly and huge monsters in the water, and the remaining humans have been forced to settle on a small island that can only accommodate a few hundred people.
Ugly, enormous fish-shaped monsters were roaming the waters surrounding the island. On the flat ground inside the island, a circle of men and women armed with rudimentary weapons stood guard, wary of the monsters' sneak attacks. In the center of the protective circle were children and the elderly, huddled together, trembling, while others prayed incessantly.
The moment the monster launched its sneak attack, Xia Xiang threw out the scroll, smashing it into the leaping monster and creating a crater the size of the scroll. The monster instantly lost its motion and collapsed heavily to the ground.
The other monsters in the water no longer looked at the people on the island with eager anticipation, but instead waited quietly in the water, watching Xia Xiang warily.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Xia Xiang pushed the monster's corpse back into the water with a palm strike, where it was quickly devoured by its companions.
The monster, having eaten its fill, lazily swam away, leaving only Xia Xiang, whose expression remained unchanged, and the frightened people behind.
"Who's in charge here?" Xia Xiang put away the scroll and wiped it several times with a handkerchief.
Scroll: You were the one who threw it out! And you're complaining about me now?
