Chapter 871: This Sounds Fishy… the Void Plan!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“What’s this?!” An elf picked up the bag of candies with pictures of a fruit on it. “Durian-flavored candies?”
“This seems to be the picture of a fruit!” Sala said happily, “Fruit-flavored candies must be good!”
These elves especially liked fruits.
Su Tianji picked up the box which looked like the box for spicy sticks that were sold in the shop. “What are these? Tofu that tastes like spicy sticks?”
Jiang Xiaoyue picked up a bag of seaweed and said eagerly, “I’ve never seen this before, but it looks good. I’ll try this first.”
“Wow-!” The elves were thrilled. They had heard about these snacks that weren’t for sale in the shop, but they had never tasted them before!
They were in luck today to try the delicacies that others couldn’t have.
After all, these snacks were not for sale, and it was the only opportunity for them to eat such snacks!
At this moment, other people in the shop glanced at them enviously.
“Then, I’ll open this box!” Su Tianji said cheerfully.
“Me too!” Sala and other elves each took out a candy.
They unwrapped their snacks eagerly.
“I’m eating it!” At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyue tore open a small packet of seaweed and almost instantly stuffed a few sheets of seaweed into her little mouth. At the last moment, she suppressed her impatience and took a small bite delicately.
Instantly, her little pink face changed color.
Then, a weird stinky braised taste together with an indescribable pungent taste began to spread out…
It felt as if they had opened Pandora’s Box!
As if someone dropped a biohazardous bomb into the lounge area, the elves’ faces turned yellow at the smells.
“This is…?!”
“What-?!”
“Ahh-! Pooh! Pooh! Pooh…!” Jiang Xiaoyue’s little face turned bitter at this pungent and spicy taste. “Water… I need water!”
While fanning at her little pink tongue, she hurried off to find water.
“So stinky-!” Sala covered her nose, feeling suffocated!
Dizzy from the stinky smell, Su Tianji closed the box lid with difficulty, and her face turned green due to suffocation.
She turned her head and saw that all the other people in the shop had moved more than 30 meters away from them with their hands covering their noses. Their envious expression changed, and it looked as if they had seen a ghost. They had a feeling that this group of people might be eating some poop together?!
…
Unlike them, the faction masters, elders, and leaders such as Gu Tingyun, Zong Wu, Xichi Spiritual Master, and even Demonic Woman Ning Bi had many pieces of business to tend to.
After all, Mr. Fang’s job was managing the shops, and the players’ job was playing the games. The other stuff also needed attention and management.
At this moment, Ning Bu was supervising the wardens of Half City while the latter interrogated the captives from the Innumerable-Immortal Sea and Nine-Fold Darkness.
Meanwhile, the faction masters and elders of different factions were talking about the subsequent plans. Even the West Continent sent representatives to join the discussion.
…
The Innumerable-Immortal Sea was even more busy. Wondrous Spell High Holiness was a top figure among the elders, not only in the Gui Family but in all other families.
In the expedition that he led in person, he was wounded severely and forced to retreat in defeat. This incident had a great impact not only in the Innumerable-Immortal Sea but in the whole Heavenly Realm.
– Meanwhile, in the Nine-Fold Darkness –
The fierce generals led by Nine-Fold Darkness Demon General tried to borrow path in the mortal world with the huge Heaven-Devouring Turtle to launch a sneak attack at the Heavenly Realm, but the moment they landed, they were driven back in defeat. This news had swiftly spread all over the demon army of Nine-Fold Darkness.
In the Gui Family in the Innumerable-Immortal Sea, Wondrous Spell High Holiness stared at the distance coldly with squinted eyes. “The moment we moved, we encountered a monster with a hairy face and a protruding mouth?! I don’t believe that such a powerful demon monkey exists in the mortal world. Is it a demon from the Nine-Fold Darkness army…?! What’s their scheme?!”
In the Nine-Fold Darkness Army, the Nine-Fold Darkness Demon General knelt inside a grand palace despite its severe wounds. A gloomy voice came from the endless darkness before it, “You were ambushed the moment that you arrived in the mortal world… and those humans’ power was far beyond your imagination? Perhaps it was an ambush set by the Godly Court…?”
Wonderous Spell High Holiness said, “This whole thing feels fishy. We’ll make a decision after I report to the Godly Court and a thorough investigation is done.”
The voice from the Nine-Fold Darkness said, “This must be a scheme! I’ll put your defeat aside for the moment. Find out the background of the human masters whom you encountered in the mortal world and find a way to redeem yourself!”
“Report-!”
Meanwhile, in the Innumerable-Immortal Sea and in the Nine-Fold Darkness, they both received a report.
“Two of our captives were sent back with a message from the Cultivator Alliance in the mortal world!”
“What message?!” The people in both places turned dark. “Bring them in!”
The two captives knelt and delivered the message, “They said… said… they would break any claws extending into their world!”
“They said, ‘We never start wars, but we’ll do our best to fight you if you want wars!’”
The people from the two places instantly turned livid!
“Outrageous! They are so outrageous!”
“What shall we do, High Holiness?!” An immortal from the Gui Family in the Innumerable-Immortal Sea asked.
They knew who their opponent was without thinking…
“But I still feel like… there’s something fishy!” Wondrous Spell High Holiness said coldly.
…
In the Godly Palace, the god who was dressed in five-colored godly armor read the intelligence report that the Godly Palace had just received. “News came from the Godly Court.”
“They decided to bide their time?” The God of Radiant Light sat on his godly throne with no emotion could be seen on his face, and he said, “I’m afraid even they are suspicious that the Nine-Fold Darkness Army is behind it.”
“They will have peace talks with the mortal world and pay ransom for the captives! They will give the humans some benefits to steady them. After the truth comes out…” he said with a chuckle, “It’s a good plan. After they find out the truth, I’m afraid that the mortal world will become the new battleground between them and the Nine-Fold Darkness Army!”
…
“High Holiness, the mortal world… also demanded us to clear the Thunderbolt Zone in the void…”
“Thunderbolt Zone in the void …?” Wondrous Spell High Holiness said with a sneer, “What a joke! Tell them that this zone has come into being for a long time and is a zone of its own. Thus, it isn’t easy to clear. Aren’t they very powerful? They can pass it if they are able to. If they can’t, it’s not our fault!”
The people living in the Innumerable-Immortal Sea had blood sacrifice seals in the Demon-Slaying Platform and thus could manage to descend to the lower region despite the great price they had to pay.
“These humans think that they are powerful, but how can they be compared with us!”
…
– Meanwhile, in the Wuwei Daoist Alliance –
On the big square of the Daoist Alliance parked several cutting-edge spiritual ships.
Now that the Cultivation Alliance and the warriors had saint-level masters among them, they began to carry out the Void Plan.
Artifact Master Jun Yangzi of the Wuwei Daoist Alliance had a jade slip in his hand. The jade slip contained the key projects such as the portal to the alternate world as shown in Diablo II, the warp technology in StarCraft, the Void Creatures shown in League of Legends, and the ascendance plan of the Qionghua Faction shown in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4.
Some projects were old research projects which had gained certain results. For example, there were portal and teleportation technology in Diablo II and the void energy in League of Legends.
Some projects were brand-new without any clues, such as the warp technology in StarCraft.
They sat together and talked. “Let’s begin these projects first…”
For the cultivators, this was a grand plan, but a bit far-fetched for now.
