Capítulo 1996: Chapter 2024: Bosses Ascend Shu Dao Mountain
“Crunch, crunch!”
A crack appeared in the floor tiles of the residence, and a hand reached out from it.
Li Xiaobai and the three others stopped simultaneously, eyes fixed on the hand.
They had just taken out a group of people, and now soone dared to act out of line?
“Ouch, could you give a hand? I’m stuck!”
The person in the crack wailed, crying pitifully.
“Who are you?”
Li Xiaobai and the others moved closer, a cracked tile revealing half of a bald head. A man was stuck there, unable to free himself.
Looking at the pudgy hand, he was clearly a fat man.
“I’m the City Lord, my na is Xiang Guohua, I’m here to visit you specifically.”
“Can you lend a hand?”
The bald man cried out, struggling to get out, but the more he struggled, the tighter he got stuck.
“City Lord Xiang Guohua?”
“This guy seems to be playing dumb, should we just kill him?”
Da Jianbi frowned. A City Lord getting stuck in a crack—who would believe this?
Moreover, the obstacles they encountered on their way seed arranged by the City Lord. They had no good feelings toward this person claiming to be the City Lord.
“Hmm, let’s just kill him, these past few days have been annoying enough.”
Li Xiaobai nodded.
Jiang Que pondered, “Let’s take a look at his mory first.”
“Yu thinks it’s not appropriate; every ti we look at mories, we get caught. Our abilities might already be exposed. Let’s first break his arm to weaken his willpower.”
Yu Huan Shui was a bit resistant to mory peering, having encountered issues with the [Cage of Love] in the last city due to a misstep.
This ti he insisted on not making the first move.
“Alright, we’ll take this arm then; he extended it himself.”
Li Xiaobai brought out the Longsword, asuring it on Xiang Guohua’s arm as if seeking the right angle.
Xiang Guohua was terrified, waving his hands repeatedly, “Gentlen, don’t act rashly, let’s talk it out peacefully!”
“I really am the City Lord; I lack cultivation level and can’t get out. Please believe !”
Li Xiaobai squinted his eyes, “How could a City Lord lack cultivation level? You get out, and I’ll believe you, otherwise, I’ll chop you to pieces!”
“This city has two City Lords. I am the direct lineage of Lord [White]. He appointed as the main City Lord; another guy is the Deputy City Lord. The opposition you faced was his doing!”
Xiang Guohua was nearly in tears from panic, these gentlen were implacable, and if they really killed him here, it would be an utter grievance.
“Seems like he’s telling the truth.”
Li Xiaobai sheathed the sword; having been driven to this point without revealing cultivation, he probably was just an ordinary person.
Jiang Que nodded, “Pull him out.”
Da Jianbi crushed the tiles, yanking Xiang Guohua out, then cautiously stepped back, keeping a distance.
Xiang Guohua looked miserable, rubbing his arm with a pitiful expression.
“I’m really an ordinary person, genuinely, with no cultivation level at all. Even the guards at the city gate could kill , no need to be so cautious.”
Seeing their disposition as if facing a formidable enemy, Xiang Guohua was both amused and exasperated.
“What are you here for?”
“As a City Lord, you sneak into our mansion without a plausible reason, and I’ll still have to dismber you for peace of mind.”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“I’m here to recomnd you to participate in the organization’s assessnt. To be honest, despite being a City Lord, I’m limited everywhere due to my lack of cultivation, targeted by He Yong. This organization’s selection is critical and even relates to divine matters.”
“I wish to recomnd you to represent the Sixth City. He Yong wants to involve his own faction, hence the obstacles you faced entering the Sixth City.”
Xiang Guohua dusted off his clothes, stating his purpose.
“As for why I sneaked in through the tunnel, it was to avoid attention. Both He Yong and I have planted spies to monitor each other’s every move; without catch-off-guard tactics, it was impossible to avoid their notice.”
To prove his sincerity, Xiang Guohua picked up a piece of a shattered teacup from the floor and slashed it across his arm, creating a shocking wound that gushed blood.
An ordinary teacup could cause a fatal injury, proving that the person before them truly lacked cultivation.
“Courageous, I like it. As a mber of the organization, you’re qualified; I understand why you’re able to be a City Lord.”
Jiang Que admired him; a physician stepped out from the [Peach Blossom Spring Record], healing Xiang Guohua’s injuries in no ti.
“After all, ti is limited, and I can’t stay long. Now can I have your trust?”
Xiang Guohua said.
“So, what is the purpose of the organization’s selection?”
“How do we participate in the selection?”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“The purpose is to select a regular army capable of competing with the divine beings. During the Divine Realm arena, we saw that the divine side includes not only gods but also their progeny and beings born in the Divine Realm.”
“For those not yet deified, although they naturally surpass us cultivators, they’re not unbeatable. This point was evidenced in the Divine Children’s Garden battle. Lord [White] believes the divine beings haven’t given up on their plans for population reduction, and a significant war will inevitably arrive.”
“Therefore, humanity must be prepared. The organization’s selection is to gather exceptional talents.”
Xiang Guohua laid out the organization’s recent plans, explaining it to the group in detail.
“This is a major matter; the battlefield at the forefront defending humanity doesn’t allow any corruption. If the frontline collapses, death won’t be far for us. Unfortunately, He Yong failed to grasp this level.”
Xiang Guohua sighed.
A deputy city lord whose vision was so small that he only cared about imdiate profits made him gnash his teeth in hatred.
Jiang Que mused, “I see. But we’ve already participated in the Divine Children’s Garden. Do we still need to join the selection?”
“That’s where the interest lies. This selection won’t divide by age or cultivation strength; all contestants will fight together, with the last remaining ones becoming the regular army.”
“So among the participants, so will be exceedingly powerful, while so will be complete rookies, because the real battlefield doesn’t divide based on cultivation strength. Whoever survives is the strong one!”
“This is why I recomnd you four. If Sixth City’s native geniuses participated, they’d just end up as cannon fodder, wasting this opportunity to recomnd talents. You are the ones truly worthy of everyone’s expectations.”
Xiang Guohua spoke firmly, and Li Xiaobai and the others fell silent.
They were hoping for a few days of rest, only to be thrust into an even fiercer slaughter. Was it necessary? If soday an army invades, everyone will be in danger, and there will be no safe place under the starry sky. Would it matter whether you’re in the regular army or not?
Ultimately, won’t everyone have to fight the divine beings?
Soon, however, Xiang Guohua unveiled another bombshell: “The regular army can receive guidance from [White] himself. He knows many unconventional cultivation thods; so have had their cultivation realms leap several stages overnight thanks to his coaching.”
“That rookie who participated in the arena benefited from it!”
Li Xiaobai was curious, “In this selection, will those at his level also participate?”
Without hesitation, Xiang Guohua said, “Yes, including the woman nad Su Yunbing!”
