"Gentlemen, today you are heading to the battlefield beyond the borders to fight for the Great Divide. I hope that the number of you who went there will be the same number of you who return. Can you do that?"
Half a year later, Shushu and a group of people heading to the battlefield outside the region stood on the plain outside Yong'an City, the central city of Daxu Boundary, waiting to set off.
Seeing the person above speaking so passionately and generously, she couldn't help but echo, "Yes."
The sound was a bit loud, immediately attracting a lot of attention from those around. Shushu touched his nose guiltily, but quickly regained his composure.
Seeing this, the others also withdrew their gaze and turned their attention back to the person in charge of this team on the high platform, namely the late-stage Mahayana elder of the Myriad Swords Sect, Venerable Haohan.
This Venerable Vastness was clearly a bit of a chatterbox. After his initial passionate and indignant remarks, he couldn't stop and went on and on for quite a while.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that he finally finished speaking.
As for Shushu, he had long since gone from being enthusiastic and agreeable at the beginning to being expressionless and blank-faced at the end.
Lu Li, who was standing beside her, found it all quite amusing and couldn't help but affectionately ruffle her hair to comfort her.
Shushu turned her head to the side and could still see the other person's gentle eyes, in which she saw her own reflection.
Instantly, the gloom in Shushu's heart was swept away, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He began to whisper to Lu Li in secret.
Lu Li also doted on her. He would respond to every word Shushu said, and the two of them would secretly start their little escapade.
It was only now that Shushu realized that people as quiet as Liu Yulu were truly rare.
Because after Venerable Haohan finished speaking, the other leaders of the group also went up one by one and spoke at length.
In comparison, the one that took the shortest time and was the simplest was the one that took the longest time.
They stood there for more than two hours. It was fortunate that they were cultivators; if it were an ordinary person, their legs would be ruined after standing for such a long time.
The thought of traveling to the extraterrestrial battlefield with these people and spending more than half a month together on the same shuttle made Shushu shudder. Please don't pay attention to her.
As it turns out, sometimes the more you don't want something, the more likely it is to happen.
Just as Shushu, Lu Li, and a group of companions boarded the shuttle boat and were about to take their number tags to find their assigned rooms, they were stopped by a familiar face.
The person who arrived was Jing Ruiyi, the chief disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, who was also in the group heading to the outer battlefield.
With a clear purpose, Jing Rui walked straight up to Shushu and Lu Li, cupped his hands, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Shushu, my ancestor Haohan wishes to see you both. Is that convenient?"
Since the chief had come to invite them, and he was also the leader of the team, what could Shushu and Luli do? They exchanged a glance and could only nod in agreement: "Okay, let's go."
Then, the two of them briefly explained to Shuli and the others, telling them to go find their rooms first, while the senior and junior disciples followed Jing Ruiyi to the top floor of the shuttle boat.
The shuttle to the outer battlefield was jointly created by dozens of the most skilled weapon refiners in the Great Vault Realm, using the finest materials.
Correspondingly, its size and capacity are also very large, far exceeding those of the shuttle boats held by Shushu and Lu Li.
The shuttle boat beneath our feet is called 'Starry Sky'. It is one of twenty shuttle boats that travel between the battlefields outside the region and the Great Wall year-round. It has dozens of decks, and each deck can accommodate up to 10,000 people at most.
The bottom floor contains the shuttle boat's storage area and the shuttle boat guards' quarters, while the top floor is the control room.
The other eight levels are for cultivators; the higher their status and strength, the higher the level they are placed on.
The various beast races of the Northern Continent, including Shushu, were assigned to the eighth floor, while the Vast Venerable One, who was in charge of this meeting, resided on the tenth floor.
Therefore, Shushu and Luli followed Jing Ruiyi upwards until they reached the tenth floor.
Upon arriving at a reception room, Venerable Haohan was already seated there. Besides him, there were several other people dressed in the robes of Wanjian Sect elders, clearly indicating that they held high positions.
As the younger generation, the senior and junior disciples exchanged a glance and then spoke first, bowing respectfully: "Greetings to all venerable ones."
"Well, no need for formalities, please have a seat, young friends." Venerable Haohan had no intention of making things difficult for them, and smiled as he gestured for them to sit down before continuing the conversation.
Shushu didn't stand on ceremony and obediently sat down next to Lu Li in the empty seat. Then he looked at Venerable Haohan and asked, "I wonder if Venerable has summoned us, his and his fellow disciples, for some reason?"
Perhaps not expecting Shushu to have such a straightforward personality, Venerable Haohan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and glanced at Lu Li, who was standing silently next to Shushu.
Seeing the other party's calm demeanor as he let Shushu step forward, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't mince words, remaining just as straightforward.
"I've heard that you once visited the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Is that true?"
There's no point in hiding it, Shushu nodded: "Yes, half a year ago, Senior Tian Suanzi did invite us to visit."
Seeing that Shushu had no intention of continuing, Venerable Haohan had no choice but to speak again: "Young friend, would you mind telling me what this is about?"
After asking the question, he seemed to realize that he had overstepped his bounds and even offered an explanation.
"Young friend, please don't misunderstand. We don't mean to interrogate you. It's just that the current situation is special, and we also want to know more information in order to deal with the Immortal Huaiyu from the Upper Realm."
