Their discussion had already returned to its own room, and Shushu was unaware of it.
At this moment, she was checking what was inside the storage ring given by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect with Lu Li, Shu Li Shu Mai who rushed over after hearing the noise, and her fourth senior brother Ling Mu Feng.
Looking at the pile of good things on the table, Ling Mufeng picked up one of the jade boxes, opened it, and widened his eyes when he saw that it contained ninth-grade spiritual plants.
Shuli, who was also holding a piece of ninth-grade refining material, showed the same look of surprise.
After a long while, Shumai, who had looked at everything on the table, spoke with some uncertainty: "Isn't the Ten Thousand Swords Sect a bit too extravagant?"
There are several ninth-grade treasures alone, not to mention the eighth and seventh-grade ones.
Is Jing Ruiyi really that valuable? After arriving at the extraterritorial battlefield, could they pay more attention to this kid and try to earn a life-saving favor in return?
Clearly, she wasn't the only one who thought of this possibility; Shuli and Ling Mufeng beside her also thought of it. The three of them looked at each other and clearly saw the glint in each other's eyes.
Great, it's confirmed, we're all people with the same idea~
After all, they are family and have spent so much time together. Even if Shushu and Luli couldn't be absolutely certain about what they thought, they could at least be fairly sure.
Suddenly, Shushu also felt a bit of a headache. Why was everyone so fixated on this when they were clearly not short of money?
On second thought, she realized that no one complains about having too many good things, and she felt relieved.
However, to prevent these three from actually setting their sights on Jing Ruiyi later, Shushu felt it was necessary to remind everyone: "Well, I think this shouldn't just be a thank-you gift for saving Jing Ruiyi."
As soon as she spoke, she immediately felt three pairs of eyes staring intently at her.
The three weren't really stupid, and they quickly understood: "You mean, there's also a reward for exposing the conspiracy between Blue Pine Sect and Four Directions Palace?"
"Not only that." Lu Li, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. Meeting everyone's bright and sparkling gazes, Lu Li calmly finished the tea in his cup before slowly explaining.
"It should also be a gesture of goodwill, and a hope that we will find the Way of Heaven as soon as possible."
"A gesture of goodwill?" Now it was Sweet Potato's turn to be puzzled.
Lu Li nodded firmly: "Yes, it's a gesture of goodwill."
Seeing that Shushu seemed a little confused, he patiently explained, which was unusual for him.
“If it’s just a thank-you gift, Jing Ruiyi can just give it to us directly. There’s no need for Venerable Haohan and all the elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to come forward.”
At this point, Lu Li paused, then smiled and reminded her, "Junior Sister, don't forget, Venerable Haohan just made a promise—a promise from the Myriad Swords Sect."
Upon hearing this, Shushu's eyes narrowed. He carefully recalled every word he had just said and unconsciously repeated it: "If you need anything, you can come to my Ten Thousand Swords Sect at any time. We will do our best to help you."
So, this is the promise of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Shushu understands.
Seeing the confusion in her eyes fade, Lu Li smiled, gave her an approving look, and said no more.
As Lu Li had predicted, the Myriad Swords Sect began to befriend them, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Jing Ruiyi, the next generation leader, would visit them from time to time.
There was nothing particularly important to discuss; it was just a casual chat and an opportunity to build rapport.
Fortunately, during their conversation, both Shushu and Luli discovered that the other party was a decent person and someone worth befriending, so they accepted the other party's overtures.
Jing Ruiyi will take Shushu and the others to meet the disciples of the various forces in the Western Continent. Shushu and the others will also introduce the familiar beastmen and the group of Liuyue Sect to them.
And so, the journey wasn't too boring, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Through the viewing platforms on each level of the teleportation array, Shushu could even see the increasing dangers lurking in the void outside.
Unstable spatial fluctuations, flashing gales, occasional explosions, sudden spatial rifts, and various grotesque and ferocious creatures.
Either way, it's terrifying and chilling.
The endless void behind them seemed like an unknown, terrifying beast, ready to devour them at any moment.
As they get closer to the battlefield outside the region, these things increase in number, and the helmsman needs to be very careful to navigate the shuttle through them.
The atmosphere became oppressive and heavy.
The various monsters that were originally just phantom images are becoming more and more solid and numerous.
Upon discovering the teleportation array, the monsters pounced on the shuttle like dogs seeing a bone, drooling and with glowing green eyes, launching an attack that sent clouds of black mist exploding.
At first, things were fine, and the shuttle boat was able to maintain a normal speed. However, as monsters kept coming after it, the speed of the shuttle boat was gradually limited and slowed down.
Fortunately, the outer defensive barrier of the shuttle was quite effective. Despite being surrounded by so many monsters, it remained as solid as a mountain without any damage.
However, the speed of progress was indeed slowed down, and it was completely different from before.
Seeing that monsters were still rushing in from behind, and to avoid being completely surrounded, the people in the monitoring room had no choice but to grit their teeth and throw a bunch of top-grade spirit stones and a large number of rare mineral veins into the control tower, activating the attack mode.
"boom!"
Almost the instant the attack mode was activated, the entire outer barrier of the shuttleboat lit up.
A flash of white light appeared, transforming into countless sharp attacks that hurtled towards the monsters surrounding the shuttle.
