Chapter 1857: Chapter 1884: The Birth of a New Team!
"Wuwuwu!"
Da Jianbi was severely injured, tears and snot flowing freely.
He could finally speak.
"The... the organization told me to wait for you..."
"Stop hitting me, all my bones are broken, my internal organs are shattered, and I can’t even summon my visualized item anymore, please stop..."
Da Jianbi moaned in pain, and although he sounded quite miserable, his body was visibly recovering at an observable rate.
This was the life energy he had stored earlier, intended as a backup, which was now directly squeezed out by Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui.
"Brother, take a pill."
Li Xiaobai tossed out a Heavenly Fragrance Life-extending Pill and stuffed it into Da Jianbi’s mouth.
"The organization wants us to join your team to fill the vacancy?"
"It’s you, the organization didn’t mention Yu Huan Shui..."
"They just didn’t mention it to you, the organization sent the two of us over, you’re the one receiving us, where do we go next?"
Li Xiaobai didn’t give Da Jianbi a chance to refute, and in fact, he didn’t dare to refute anymore.
He had been beaten so badly that for a long time, these two would be his nightmares.
"There’s a temporary base set up at the outskirts of the Boundary Sea, our team members are all heading there for a temporary meeting, Jiang Que will announce the organization’s newly released mission."
Da Jianbi answered honestly.
"Then let’s go."
"Wait... let me recover for a bit..."
Before Da Jianbi could finish his sentence, a familiar Law of Fate struck, flipping open the pages on his face, as Yu Huan Shui and Li Xiaobai found the coordinates of the new base while rubbing their chins.
Then without a word, they lifted the coffin one in front, one behind, and walked off.
Da Jianbi was on the verge of tears, couldn’t they let him finish speaking?
We’ll be in the same team from now on; couldn’t they at least show him some respect?
He really couldn’t understand what the organization was thinking. If they wanted to recruit them, why did they first send someone to hunt down these two? Isn’t that counterproductive?
Yu Huan Shui: "The Teleportation Formation in the Eight Desolates Domain can take us near the coordinates; it’d be safer to go from there."
Li Xiaobai: "What about your Academy?"
Yu Huan Shui: "Let them keep building it; once I regain my cultivation level, I’ll be back."
The two silently entered the Teleportation Formation, depositing the Yuan Magnetic Crystal.
"I’ve wanted to say this for ages, do you remember that time when you charged me one million rare earth resources to look at my memory once?"
Li Xiaobai spoke, watching the Teleportation Formation slowly activate.
"Of course, I remember, don’t worry, Yu never breaks a promise."
Yu Huan Shui nodded, as there were rare earth resources everywhere; randomly digging around could easily fetch a million.
"Could we exchange it for Yuan Magnetic Crystals instead? This time, not a million, just five hundred thousand will do."
"Hmm, a gentleman does not go back on his word. Since I promised to pay you in rare earth, Yu will certainly do so. Do you think Yu can’t afford it, trying to pity me?"
"Uh, no, it’s just that I want the Yuan Magnetic Crystals..."
"Say no more, a million, Yu will pay you every bit of it!"
Yu Huan Shui waved his hand exuberantly, maintaining a calm expression, clearly implying that he’d be upset if he couldn’t give a million.
This sounded rather unpleasant.
Li Xiaobai felt he had been taken advantage of, but ironically, it was he who had originally suggested rare earth as payment, seemingly suffering a loss due to ignorance, not realizing how useless rare earth actually was on this journey. That damn bookworm didn’t tell him either.
The Teleportation Formation activated, and the two of them, together with a coffin, vanished without a trace, undetected by anyone.
...
In the depths of the starry sky, on a meteor experiencing a massacre.
A group of cultivators clad in bronze armor were cruelly slaughtering a group of young talents with their bronze spears.
"It seems we’ll die here today!"
"Damn the Bronze Hall, bringing this war to our sect, killing us won’t help; our sect will avenge us!"
The young cultivators fled in panic across the meteor’s surface, eyes filled with despair.
"Clang!"
The bronze warriors were well-trained, making no superfluous movements, raising their spears and attacking fiercely.
In a single skirmish, flesh was torn, limbs severed, and blood splattered three feet high.
"Junior sister, come behind me, I won’t let you die in front of me."
The young men gathered spontaneously to protect the female cultivator.
Staring at the rapidly approaching bronze spears, they slowly closed their eyes, prepared to embrace death.
"Buzzing!"
Just then, complex formation patterns suddenly flashed across the ground.
The surface of the meteor trembled violently, a light curtain cascaded down, forming a grand gate.
Silhouettes swayed within.
"Is this... a Teleportation Formation?"
"There’s a teleportation formation on this meteor, who’s coming over?"
"Could it be the sect knows I’m in trouble and sent help?"
The young ones widened their eyes, faces full of confusion.
The bronze-armored ones halted their movements, vigilantly gazing at the silhouettes within the light curtain, standing ready for action.
Soon, the figures inside emerged.
The first thing everyone heard was a series of wails and cries.
"Could you two take it easy, my bones are about to scatter, really gonna scatter!"
"Quiet, the two of us have researched, you have a habit of lying, nine out of ten sentences are false, and the remaining one even deceives yourself, so why would I believe your nonsense!"
"Exactly, until we’re sure we’re joining the regulators’ camp, we won’t let you off easy."
Amidst a clamor of bickering and yelling.
The external cultivators saw two people ahead and behind, carrying a coffin with a careful shuffle as they came out.
In an instant, the three groups stared wide-eyed at each other, silent as the grave.
"Is this a battlefield?"
"Why come here to fight, isn’t this an abandoned meteor cluster?"
"Chased here to this godforsaken place, these young ones are done for."
Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui, carrying the coffin, glanced around, landing randomly and bumping into a battle, now that’s quite the luck.
But these bronze armored cultivators looked strangely familiar.
Back when the Immortal Gods invaded the Central Origin Realm, they too wore bronze armor, wielded bronze spears, and exuded a murderous aura.
"Might you two seniors be sent by the Flying Immortal Hall to rescue us juniors?"
A young one spoke, breaking the silence.
Li Xiaobai: "Never heard of it."
"Who goes there!"
The bronze-armored cultivators positioned themselves on either side, and out stepped a cultivator with one foot on a bronze chariot, holding a bronze greatsword, the leader of the group.
"Just passing through, no need to mind us, carry on."
Yu Huan Shui waved his hand, preparing to go around with the coffin, indicating mutual non-interference.
Li Xiaobai stared at the bronze cultivators, wanting to understand their origins, but now wasn’t the time to stir up trouble. Since the organization leader promised to clarify all his doubts, he saw no need to take risks.
The young men and women’s faces turned to despair; the heavens had given them hope, only to snatch it away again.
Inside the coffin, Da Jianbi suddenly shouted: "Wait, don’t move!"
"Jiang Que sent a message."
"Recently wars have been erupting randomly, with regions inexplicably dragged into battlefields, bronze hall cultivators often appear near temporary bases, possibly to eliminate any stragglers. To prevent the base coordinates from being exposed, if you encounter cultivators clad entirely in bronze armor along the way, it is crucial to eliminate them."
A pure silver Token floated into the air, projecting the image of a cultivator fully clad in bronze armor.
Exactly like the bronze warriors before them.
"A team mission is absolute, its orders must be completed at all times."
"You’re Bronze Hall cultivators, being sent to eliminate stragglers suggests your strength isn’t great, correct?"
"You paused your attack to be wary of the three of us, demonstrating your apprehension of our sudden appearance, which stems from your lack of confidence in your own strength, right?"
