Chapter 892: Heading Out
After soaking in the hot spring, Li Nianfan felt incredibly comfortable both inside and out. He listened to the happy laughter coming from the women’s side but merely smiled as he shook his head, not joining them.
He knew that women usually took a long time bathing, so he went out of the hot spring and entered the room, preparing to have a nice nap.
When Li Nianfan exited the hot spring room, the laughter from the other side slowly stopped.
Daji lightly sighed as she said, “The gray mist is causing chaos all around the world. The situation’s constantly changing. There’s also the Heavenly Plundering Alliance constantly scheming in the shadows. The Origins Realm’s in an incredibly complicated situation. If we don’t deal with all these problems, how could we make sure the expert has a peaceful life?”
Fire Phoenix nodded before saying, “Daji’s right. The words the master just said must mean he’s…very tired.”
The fires of anger flashed in her red eyes. She really wanted to solve all the troubles in the world!
The world would change whether one liked it or not. The Origins Realm constantly shifted. Trouble kept appearing everywhere. Something had even almost happened to Blackie last time. The expert must have seen everything. It would be hard for him to not feel sad.
Even chess masters had times when they were tired. They really wanted to help the expert maintain a peaceful life!
Dragin had her own thoughts as well. “The stories big brother tells us always involve the main character defeating all evil. After that, everyone would live together happily. Big brother must really, really want a life like that.”
Nanan’s eyes sank as she said sadly, “It’s our fault for not taking the initiative. We failed to suppress those evil forces.”
Splash!
At that moment, Daji suddenly stood up from the hot spring. Her feet lightly stepped out of the water as her white dress flew over and draped itself over her body. The scene looked like a painting. It was incredibly beautiful.
However, there was a frosty look in her eyes.
Little Fox was taken aback, “Big sister, you…”
Daji said in a cold voice, “I’m going to go to the Origins Realm.”
To the Origins Realm?
Everyone jumped slightly. They naturally knew what Daji was preparing to do. She was going to cause some trouble.
It seemed like the expert’s words had really stirred Daji’s heart. She suddenly wanted to leave the mountain.
Ever since the Seven Realms were united, Daji and Fire Phoenix decided that they would no longer take any action. They decided that they would stay hidden with the expert and focus on serving him. They would no longer care about the conflicts of the outside world. Yet, the situation in the Origins Realm was far too complicated. Daji was worried that it would affect the expert’s life.
Fire Phoenix said,”I’ll go with you.”
Little Fox and the others exchanged a look before they said, “Then we…”
“You should all just stay home. The two of us will be enough. We’ll be back quickly.”
Daji interrupted them. She looked at Dragin and Nanan and said, “Show me what happened when the person from the Heaven Plundering Alliance fled.”
“Oh…”
Nanan and Dragin did not dare to refuse. They activated their powers and triggered the scene that happened back then.
Nanan had used the Fallen God Bow to shoot down one of Tian Luo’s arms. Then, Dragin had used her tides to hold Tian Luo back. There was already karma formed between the two parties. A normal person would not be able to find any clues, but Daji was able to.
Very quickly, her face shifted as she ascertained Tian Luo’s location. She stepped out with Fire Phoenix and the two of them disappeared.
Qin Manyun and the others looked at where Daji and Fire Phoenix disappeared. They had shocked looks on their faces.
Little Fox exclaimed, “Big sister is so amazing.”
She had an incredible understanding of chess, as well as a lot of talent in a spiritual sense. It was enough to multiply her talents in chess manifold. She was even able to change heaven and earth, turning illusion into reality and truly changing a chessboard.
Yet, she was incredibly certain that it would be impossible if she really wanted to give Daji or Fire Phoenix any trouble. Even within her area of control, Fire Phoenix and Daji would be able to easily overcome it or escape.
Shi Tuqin exclaimed, “They did not even cause any ripples in the Wisdom just now.”
Daji and Fire Phoenix had clearly moved in front of them just now, yet they had not been able to feel a single thing. That meant that they could get close to any of them without anyone knowing. The difference in their skills was no trivial matter.
Qin Manyun could not help but purse her lips, “Everyone cultivates next to the expert. I had thought that they would not be that far apart from us. I can’t believe the two of them are actually so amazing.”
She learned the ways of the zither and songwriting from Li Nianfan. Shi Tuqin learned how to write and draw. Their improvements could be described as soaring. However, compared to Daji and Fire Phoenix, there was still a huge gulf.
In the end, Shi Tuqin found the root cause and lamented, “There’s nothing we can do about it. We’re only training with the expert during the day. They train with the expert at night.
Little Fox widened her eyes in shock as she said curiously, “Is Big Sister still training with Brother Li even at night? What are they practicing? I’ve seen Big Sister with a red face so many times. Could it be thanks to the training?”
…
At the same time, at the Heaven Plundering Alliance, Tian Luo stumbled back to report his results. He had a pale face and was obviously heavily injured. He had lost his right arm and it was still bleeding.
The injuries caused by the Fallen God Bow were not so easily cured.
He walked deep into the Heaven Plundering Alliance and finally collapsed in front of Zhou Yuanhai. “Leader, I’ve failed.”
Zhou Yuanhai raised an eyebrow as he said curiously, “What happened?”
“It’s just as you expected, the Heavenly Palace participated in this event as well. I thought that they would not be able to do anything much, but the situation kept changing…”
Tian Luo quickly explained everything that happened.
Zhou Yuanhai’s expression constantly changed. He had a thoughtful glint in his eye as he finally said, “If so many coincidences happen at the same time, they’re no longer coincidences. It was all a setup! Ah, an existence of this level really is amazing. Even if I’m so careful, it’s useless. The moment I make the wrong move, everything ends in disaster!”
Tian Luo could not help but say, “Leader, who are you playing against?”
He had been with Zhou Yuanhai for many years and had personally witnessed many of Zhou Yuanhai’s plots. The fact that the Heaven Plundering Alliance had reached this state was all thanks to him. Everything in the Origins Realm seemed to be the leader’s plaything. Yet, everything he had done seemed to be a setup for this game!
Which game was worth wasting so many years and so many resources?!
Zhou Yuanhai had a deep look in his eyes as he said, “Fighting against God is so amusing! Fighting with people who defy the heavens is endless fun! Fighting against those who can overturn the heavens brings me endless joy!”
After falling silent for a moment, he waved to Tian Luo. “Come, let me treat you.”
“Thank you, leader.”
Tian Luo had a happy look on his face as he moved over.
Zhou Yuanhai waved his hand and a sliver of power appeared on his fingertips. He had been preparing to use it when he suddenly stopped. There was a sudden apprehension in his heart.
He hurriedly moved back and said carefully, “No, I can’t save you. If I do that, I’ll develop some form of karma with you. I would’ve fallen into a trap!”
