Chapter 457 - 259: Ancient Immortal Divides the Dishes, Mortals Stand Aside (Part 2)
As for the Mo Dashan who just arrived... they don’t really care.
The Master has said, as long as no one is injured, there’s no need to act quickly!
More than one is coming tonight, wait until they’re all here, then wipe them out at once!
The orders given by the Master are quite strange, saying that in this dining hall tonight...
Those who stand remain alive, those who sit are dead.
Those who cry live, those who laugh die.
For now, only that Mo Dashan is laughing heartily.
...
Whew...
In the vast mountain forest, the wind blows through leaves, the rustling echoes throughout the heavens and earth.
Under the starry moonlight, above the mountains and forest, huge blood scab wings glide on the wind, rushing towards.
Steering these wings is Tian Xinghuo, whose face is laden with grief, tear marks still apparent.
In his mind, the voice of the Ancient Immortal is proud and wild.
"Hahaha, good disciple!
"As master and disciple, our hearts should be as one!
"You help Master retrieve the Primordial Immortal Qi, then Master surely won’t mistreat your brother."
Tian Xinghuo follows the direction indicated by the Ancient Immortal, breaking through the night wind, continuing to fly.
Though he hasn’t been transformed into a puppet by the Ancient Immortal, he feels as if he is no different from one.
This journey, will it betray humanity? Will it harm his comrades? Will it violate committee regulations?
He doesn’t know.
But both his and his brother’s lives are held tightly by the Ancient Immortal, he cannot resist in any case.
His emotions were drained by the Ancient Immortal, but his heart beats tighter, faster.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
Whew...
He flutters his wings against the wind, flies even higher, then takes out his phone.
Here, the phone almost has no signal, this text message seems to be sent through satellite?
The sending number is a long string of network numbers.
[We are aware and understand your predicament]
[The crime of killing lies with the holder of the blade]
[Please don’t feel psychological pressure]
[If possible, offer slight protection to your fellow humans]
[If unattainable, then please protect yourself well, keep your useful self intact]
The final signature is...
[The Human Secret Brain Office]
In his mind, the Ancient Immortal snickered.
Tian Xinghuo’s tears sprinkle the night sky.
With a flap of his wings, he breaks through the night wind!
Swoosh...
Towards the destination, rushing at higher speed!
...
The starlight and moonlight illuminate the mine, illuminate the deepest part of the pit, the newly dug fragmented walls and fresh earth.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Four foxes, wearing white vine armor, are here, with four feet pressed into the ground, quickly shuttling back and forth.
Quanquan Hu leads the charge, his eyes occasionally sweeping over the newly excavated fragmented walls, judging the specific layout of these ruins.
Peach Blossom Eyes follows closely behind, occasionally probing with nose, sniffing the soil’s scent, sensing its moisture.
They wear vine armor, and the vine silk gloves with suction cups leave large and odd claw prints on the ground.
Yet they’re too lazy to conceal them.
"Ying ying ying!"
Quanquan Hu pauses at the corner of the pit, beside a fragment of wall.
According to its intuition, under this wall, either it’s a toilet, or it’s a burial ground. The place the Master mentioned, where a massive amount of slaves are buried, is most likely here!
It takes a small shovel from its back... This was newly forged using Iron Rod Mountain metal!
The craftsmanship is quite ordinary, relatively coarse, the appearance slightly ugly, and offers no Immortal Technique enhancement.
But it’s longer, larger, and thicker than a regular shovel, matching the vine armor gloves, enough to fit comfortably in the paws.
The other three brothers circle around this place, looking towards the outside, each on guard.
"Woo!"
Quanquan Hu bows his head, immediately starts digging!
Seeing it perk its tail, wield the shovel with swift motion, earth and stones fly, in no time, the pit grows larger at a terrifying speed!
Puchi!
Puchi!
The sound of digging resounds through the night.
Quanquan Hu soon digs down five to six meters underground.
Clang!
The shovel hits something hard, relying on rich digging experience and skill, it immediately eases up.
Then using the shovel to scrape a few times, it immediately smells a strong stench of blood!
Looking closely reveals that blood red crystal stones are already protruding from the pit, it’s these crystals emitting the stench!
"Woo?"
The three brothers standing guard outside the pit also frown.
This smell is too pungent!
This isn’t an ordinary smell of blood, but a scent brewed and fermenting for millions of years!
"Bury it first, don’t let the scent escape."
The mentor’s voice echoed, and Quanquan Hu immediately wielded his shovel, digging to bury those blood-colored crystals.
...
In the study room at the West Family District.
Bai Mo sipped hot tea, pondering in his mind.
His Divine Sense spread through his disciple, permeating beneath the mining pit, detecting the distribution of ores.
"These things are piled massively in the burial grounds, but over millions of years, they have spread all around, permeating widely. In the surrounding area of over a dozen miles, both in breadth and depth, these things are likely distributed.
"Well then... might as well put in the effort to excavate these ores all at once."
After some consideration, he felt the previously devised plan could be used.
He then issued the order.
"Peach Blossom Eyes, begin the operation!"
...
Whoosh...
Tian Xinghuo flew out from the vast night, into the mining field.
There he saw, the entire mining area had been shrouded in a hazy fog!
"An array?"
The subtle rustling sounds below were of countless small insects crawling busily on the ground, their origins and destinations unknown.
"Gu insects?"
In mid-air, four long talismans were hidden in the fog, forming a door, quietly waiting in front of Tian Xinghuo.
Tian Xinghuo was about to foolishly fly in when he heard the voice of his Ancient Immortal Master in his mind again.
"This time, kid, you really hit the jackpot.
"Remember to double the Primordial Immortal Qi I’ve given you!"
Inside his head, he felt pain and itchiness, with a sensation of something growing...
"Ah!"
He screamed, nearly losing control of his blood-crusted wings, almost falling from the air.
But in an instant, he flapped his wings and soared again.
"This Douben Origin Immortal Qi has transformed into the [Perceptual Blood Snail] in your head.
"This is the last bit from your master’s coffin!
"Go!
"Bring back ten Douben Origin Immortal Qi for me!"
Tian Xinghuo felt like there was something extra in his ear.
Could it be, there’s another cochlea next to the ear snail?
Flying in the sky, his eyes grew brighter, able to see through the mist.
His ears became sharper, able to hear insect chirps and the sound of the wind.
His intuition grew more acute, with a flash, he dodged the talisman trap in mid-air!
He then flapped his wings, soaring like a blood-colored eagle towards the lit-up dining area!
Whoosh...
In an instant, the distance of a few hundred meters was closed.
Bang!
He shattered the window and flew inside.
Retracting the blood-crusted wings beneath his scapulas, he stood in the dining area, noticing it was very quiet, with some people sitting and a group standing.
Those standing, men, women, and children, all looked alarmed, trembling slightly.
Only a few were sitting, guarding dumplings and pork stewed with potatoes, smiling as they looked at him.
These few, were they Ancient Immortal Disciples who sensed the Primordial Immortal Qi and just arrived?
"Oh, another one has come?"
"Is there enough on the table to eat?"
"Hahaha, whether enough to eat or not, those who come tonight have the right to join the table."
The one speaking was Mo Dashan, who was wearing a suit and smiling broadly.
He looked at Tian Xinghuo, gesturing to the chair beside him.
"Please!"
...
On the rooftop, Star Belly and Black Gloves lay quietly.
Their Immortal Qi Vine Armor had the unique property of lowering their presence, making them less likely to be discovered.
They watched through the cracks in the tiles, seeing that indeed, some people were sitting, some standing, some laughing, and some crying, nodding slightly, marveling at their master’s divine foresight!
They noticed the dumplings had already gone cold, and the stew too.
If the time wasn’t too long, it might still taste fine?
After rescuing people later, grabbing a meal to go would be reasonable, right?
However, seeing the group laughing and sitting, gathered around the dumplings and stew, saying "enough or not enough to eat" worried the fox... Hopefully, they’re not actually talking about the meal and won’t pick up their chopsticks!
...
Tian Xinghuo did not sit down, standing between the dining table and Feng Kaishan’s group instead.
Today, he felt like a puppet to his master, under his master’s control.
But within his power, he still wanted to save his compatriots as much as he could.
Beside the dining table, Mo Dashan laughed and said.
"This table of food, my sect, Blood Saber Mountain, has plotted for a long time.
"Previously, we wanted to quietly abduct Feng Kaishan’s son, using him as a breakthrough to find this place.
"Unexpectedly, it failed.
"It was tough to find this place today, and now we have to share it with everyone.
"Haha.
"Has everyone refrained from spreading the news?
"If more people come, there truly won’t be enough to eat."
