[Ding! Your friend "True Person Qing Feng" is expressing his feelings: Senior treats us too well. He truly cares about us, we are so touched...]
...
Chi Lian and True Person Qing Feng had red eyes, crying tears of emotion.
Hao Ren - Who just wants to "pack up and run"
(—＿—;）彡
Speechless!
He felt a complex mix of emotions!
Although, thanks to the "delusional experts" Chi Lian and True Person Qing Feng's crazy interpretations, Hao Ren didn't have to rack his brains for an excuse to cover up his previous "lapse in composure."
Still, for some reason, Hao Ren couldn't bring himself to be happy!
On the contrary, he felt a strong sense of "guilt."
Uh...
"Well, you misunderstand. This senior isn't as good as you think..."
Hao Ren tried to explain.
Then, Chi Lian and True Person Qing Feng became even more moved.
"Senior, you don't need to be so humble!"
"Exactly, Senior. You can guess why we are touched, what does that mean? You've always seen through everything and have been silently working for us!"
"Senior, we are so touched!"
"Senior..."
...
Chi Lian and True Person Qing Feng were weeping profusely.
Hao Ren
(—＿—;）彡
Alright, I was wrong. I shouldn't have "explained."
Explanation is concealment, and concealment is the truth!
Hao Ren waved his hand, signaling to let the matter drop.
He then asked.
"When will the first phase of the 'Wandering Cave Plan' be completed?"
Chi Lian wiped his tears.
True Person Qing Feng blew his nose.
The two of them calmed their agitated emotions and gave Hao Ren a precise answer.
"This afternoon, before sunset, the first phase will be successfully completed!"
Hmm, very good!
Hao Ren nodded.
There was less than an hour left until sunset.
Soon he could "pack up and run"!
This "good news" finally gave Hao Ren a sliver of "security."
Just as he was about to offer them some encouragement, Han Mo walked in from outside the cave and reported to Hao Ren.
"Master, the outer patrol team has discovered a Demon Suppressing Hall, and it's heading towards the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest at high speed..."
Rumble!
This news struck Hao Ren like a bolt from the blue.
Damn it, this is ruthless!
Hao Ren was shocked and angry. He quickly checked the "dynamic messages" of "Su Muxue," "Qian Duoduo," and others.
As expected, they had already reached the outskirts of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
They're too fast!
Hao Ren felt like crying.
Could he still "pack up and run" happily?
No!
Of course not!
The arrival of the "Demon Suppressing Hall" meant that "powerful enemies" had also arrived.
Hao Ren opened the "Enemy List" and found Wang Ergouzi and others.
Right.
Ever since Su Muxue "played" Wang Ergouzi and the others, these three "Nascent Soul Ancestors" immediately realized they had been tricked and that the so-called "mysterious senior" was also a deception.
Therefore, their "respect and affection" for Hao Ren completely disappeared, replaced by "endless hatred."
"Five-star friend" had turned into "five-star enemy."
Through the "enemy dynamics," Hao Ren despaired to find that Wang Ergouzi and others had also arrived at the outskirts of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
It's over, there's no escape!
What to do?
What to do?
Just as Hao Ren was at a loss, Kong Xiaoxian ran over with a smile.
"Senior, senior, good news..."
Oh, what good news?
Can it resolve the current predicament and repel the three "Nascent Soul Ancestors"?
Hao Ren looked at Kong Xiaoxian with anticipation.
Kong Xiaoxian said happily.
"Sister Little Dragon Girl just sent a telepathic message. Her secluded cultivation is almost over, and she'll be coming out soon!"
Oh!
This was indeed good news!
"Little Dragon Girl" had been in secluded cultivation to "stabilize her realm."
With her emergence, their side would gain another "Nascent Soul expert."
However, when calculated... it was completely useless!
(╯°Д°）╯︵┻━┻
The other side had three "Nascent Soul Ancestors."
If "Little Dragon Girl" was in the "Nascent Soul realm," she might have been of some use.
Unfortunately, "Little Dragon Girl" was only in the "Nascent Soul realm," and at the "early Nascent Soul stage," which was a world away from the "Nascent Soul Ancestors"!
Even "Jin Mo Daoist," the "ceiling of Nascent Soul cultivators," was no match for a "Nascent Soul Ancestor" and would only be crushed underfoot.
Uh...
Well, the title "ceiling of Nascent Soul cultivators" should now be transferred to Goddess Su, ever since she made her "regal return."
Goddess Su, at the "Nascent Soul realm," single-handedly fought the "Nascent Soul Ancestor" Long Liulin and easily defeated him.
Her existence instantly raised the prestige of the "ceiling of Nascent Soul cultivators"!
But who was Goddess Su?
One of the three destined protagonists!
The "fated female lead"!
Incredibly powerful!
A whirlwind of sparks and lightning!
A "cheating goddess" comparable to the "cheating extraordinaire Liu Xiu'er"!
How could "Little Dragon Girl" compare to her?
Fine, even if "Little Dragon Girl" could reach Goddess Su's level.
The two of them combined could only deal with two "Nascent Soul Ancestors."
Remember, Wang Ergouzi, Wang Tiedan, and Wang Maganzi, they had a total of three "Nascent Soul Ancestors."
Who would deal with the remaining "Nascent Soul Ancestor"?
Hao Ren?
Expecting an "ordinary" "Golden Core junior cultivator" to deal with a "Nascent Soul Ancestor," was that a "reasonable request"?
Would any decent person make such a demand?
In short, a direct confrontation was absolutely out of the question!
After the initial panic, Hao Ren managed to calm down.
His eyes flashed with sharp light, and his mind raced as he pondered a solution.
What to do?
What should be done in this situation?
At this point, the "Demon Suppressing Hall" had entered the territory of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Due to its excessive speed, it couldn't stop in time and had run over thousands of "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboos"!
If it were anyone else, the cultivators of the "Delusional Cult" would have erupted by now!
How dare they run over the Senior's bamboo forest, they're courting death!
But Goddess Su's treatment was completely different!
Not only were the cultivators not angry, but they also proactively protected her.
So what if thousands of "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboos" were trampled?
If it's our own "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboos," Fairy Su can trample them however she pleases?
Someone might ask, aren't these the Senior's "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboos"? When did they become Fairy Su's "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboos"?
Heh, well, we would never say that the Senior is the male owner of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," and where there is a male owner, there must be a female owner. Fairy Su has a high chance of becoming the female owner of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest"!
Yes!
We would never say that!
We wouldn't even think of it!
"Fairy, please, please, this way!"
Accompanying Su Muxue out of the "Demon Suppressing Hall" were "Jin Mo Daoist," "Pure Yang True Person," "Zhen Buxu," and a group of elders from the "Xu" generation of the "Heavenly Mechanism Holy Land"... as well as the "precious beautiful disciple wives" of the elders of the "Xu" generation... and the children born to the elders of the "Xu" generation and their "precious beautiful disciple wives."
