A mont later, watching Wei Cang descend the mountain, Sun Jingping revealed an inscrutable smile.
A voice arose beside his ear, "Are you really just letting him go like that?"
Sun Jingping responded, "It's just an avatar. Capturing it is aningless. He doesn't trust us yet. What is needed now is ti. Once I have secured the Daluo Heaven debate, he will understand that everything I said was true."
The voice snorted coldly, "The Heavenly Demon is pursuing him so fiercely, this old fellow definitely has a secret."
Sun Jingping replied, "Everyone has secrets, especially a talented individual like Wei Cang. I have no interest in his secrets. Could his secrets possibly outnumber mine?"
"The key lies in the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor. If we can obtain that armor, and couple it with the Human Emperor Sword, then with these sword and armor combined, along with… only then will we truly have a say."
Just then, a beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through Yun Kong and spread all the way to the outer space.
Sun Jingping, surprised, looked at the column of light, "Has a lost treasure erged?"
Amidst the war with the Heavenly Demon, humanity was retreating step by step. Nurous places on Earth were littered with artifacts left by human ancestors.
Now, seeing that sky-reaching light column, Sun Jingping first thought that so lost magical treasures had surfaced again.
And judging by the grandeur of that light column, the origins of this lost treasure were likely to be extraordinary.
"Is it in the south?" Sun Jingping smiled slightly, "It seems heaven aids indeed, presenting a lost treasure before the Daluo Heaven debate."
In the next mont, he was seen soaring into the sky, shooting towards the distant light column like a bolt of lightning piercing through the atmosphere.
...
anwhile, back in a civilian residence in South Mountain City, Wei Cang was astonished as he looked toward the southern light column, "What is that? Could it be so lost magical treasure?"
Behind him, a woman stood with her eyes closed, seemingly sensing sothing.
"It's not a treasure. I feel… a strong distortion, and a call from the void."
"It's an aberration. A powerful aberration is there, calling its kind."
The woman, shocked, said while looking at the light column, "We must go there quickly. An aberration has awakened and it encountered so trouble, calling for its companions. We need to find him soon, otherwise he might be captured by the Heavenly Demon or the Celestial Court."
...
In East Flower City, inside Lin Muqing's dormitory, Zhou Bai, Jing Xiu, Lin Muqing, Lu Wanzhen, and Xia Li had a rare reunion.
They were long-ti classmates. Although Zhou Bai's status had greatly elevated, Jing Xiu and the others were also elites among the human race, chosen from thousands of cultivating geniuses, having faced countless trials and battled with the Heavenly Demon.
In this mont, facing Zhou Bai, they all maintained a normal disposition, feeling sowhat estranged due to months of separation, yet no rift had ford due to Zhou Bai's achievents.
Christina had also co along; however, she hid within Zhou Bai's sea of consciousness, warily observing the four girls present, thinking to herself, 'Hmph, it's good that I insisted on coming. Zhou Bai is actually having a al with four won and no other n, what is he planning to do? I cannot let him stray off the path. I must keep a close watch on him.'
Jing Xiu: "Zhou Bai, try this Hundred Herbs Soup I made. I especially learned it from my ntor using our heavenly diagram's ability to nurture the body and heal hidden injuries."
Xia Li quickly grabbed a few bites and while eating, she said, "Why are you feeding him sothing so good, Jing Xiu? He must be super rich by now. You should let eat more instead." She patted her petite fra, not even reaching one ter sixty, "I'm still growing, seriously lacking in nutrients."
"That's not necessarily true," Lin Muqing said, both distressed and slightly annoyed as she looked at Zhou Bai, "This guy was scamd out of his money in West Mountain City a while back. He's probably broke now. You really need to be more careful."
Jing Xiu: "What? What happened? Can Dao School help get it back?"
Xia Li burst out laughing, "Haha! Even you got scamd? Was it Qian Wangsun?" She choked on her laugh, quickly covering her mouth and swallowing the soup before she asked eagerly, "What exactly happened? Co on, man. Share the story."
Zhou Bai gave Lin Muqing a helpless look. He knew she was well-inford due to her connections with the Sky Flipping Sect and the Night Army, so she likely knew so details about the scam involving Yan Shan.
Zhou Bai said, "It was that… that… I went into business with a celestial being, and then the business flopped, and my investnt went down the drain."
Zhou Bai briefly described the process, but everyone still listened with great interest, fascinated by the involvent of over five hundred celestial beings and dicines and talismans worth millions. Just listening was thrilling.
However, after hearing it, Lin Muqing still chided him, "You were too careless. I told you to stop ssing with these celestial beings, but you still had to get involved, and now you've lost, right?"
Jing Xiu worriedly asked, "Zhou Bai, how much did you lose?"
Zhou Bai: "Not much, not as much as the rumors say, just 5000 points."
Xia Li was taken aback, "Did you hear that? Just 5000 points? That's worth three or four months of my stipend."
Lin Muqing let out a sigh of relief; she knew well about Zhou Bai's status and importance at Eastern Dao School. Though 5000 points were a lot, it wasn't an unbearable loss for Zhou Bai.
Lin Muqing reminded, "You need to be more cautious from now on, especially since you're going to Daluo Heaven to discuss the Dao. In Central City, these celestial beings are everywhere. Don't get involved with them; it's too easy to waste points."
She then recalled Zheng Wentian who always hosted Zhou Bai. "Celestial beings aren't all as generous and easygoing as Zheng Wentian."
Zhou Bai also thought of Zheng Wentian, and curiously asked, "Is he still in Eastern City?"
Lu Wanzhen sighed, "He's still there, but I've heard that Zi Yang True Monarch has cut him off financially. It seems he's having a tough ti now."
Zheng Wentian once had an order from Zi Yang True Monarch to deliberately lose a match during a major school competition. However, he ended up defying the orders.
"Is that so?" Zhou Bai asked about the conditions of other classmates, and as they talked, the feeling of slight estrangent due to his long absence from school gradually dissolved.
Ultimately, Zhou Bai casually inquired about soone he was concerned about, "Are you guys familiar with Nasha?"
Jing Xiu said, "Nasha? After she joined the special training class, she's been cultivating the heavenly diagram with . She's very talented and pretty, always well-liked. Zhou Bai, what made you think of asking about her?"
"Nothing much, just happened to et her; she lives next door to ." Zhou Bai chatted more with them, finding in their eyes that Nasha seed as normal as any other student could be.
After dinner, Zhou Bai suggested they head to the training hall first while he planned to et Nasha and possibly recruit her into his study group.
Regardless of whether there was an issue, better use her first and figure things out slowly if problems arose.
