Chapter 2637 What to Ride
Inside the interlayer of space, Han Li couldn't help but complain, "They really have the nerve... to keep me waiting?"
Qu Jianlei was thinking, "I wonder if this guy has a cave dwelling?"
"Are you really going to make a move?" Han Li laughed upon hearing this. "I didn't expect you to be so bloodthirsty once you're out there."
"A good start prevents a hundred more," Qu Jianlei said calmly. "I'm just preparing for the worst."
The phenomenon of fearing authority without appreciating virtue is not unique to the cultivation world.
The remnant is indeed just a small world, but that doesn't mean it won't attract the attention of many True Venerables.
Often, the ways and perspectives from which we measure the value of something are different.
"Qingkong is urging us again, asking when it will be finished," Han Li muttered softly, then asked, "Has Xiaoyou been urging you?"
“No,” Qu Jianlei shook his head.
The certification ceremony for the Yi family to possess a fourth-order spiritual vein has ended, and they have already obtained the holding token. Logically, the hype should gradually subside.
On the contrary, in the next two days, cultivators continued to arrive in droves.
The news has spread throughout the entire Remnant... In the near future, a battle between True Sovereigns will break out.
One of them is a behind-the-scenes force that has been secretly controlling this realm for many years.
One of them was a True Venerable comrade-in-arms brought back by the Yi family's ancestor after his conquest of another world.
The idea that a true immortal is a comrade-in-arms of a true venerable is quite challenging to one's worldview, but it's not entirely impossible.
With an unprecedented battle looming, who wouldn't want to witness it closely?
However, everyone understood the taboos of observation, so they asked Yi Wentian to inquire about Yi He.
"Ancestor, they asked how far away would be considered safe for spectators?"
"How far away?" Yi He sneered upon hearing this. "They really know how to be meticulous... Tell them that the closer they are to you, the safer they are!"
This kind of problem is truly frustrating! Have people really lived in vain for thousands of years?
Fortunately, everyone didn't have to wait long. Five days later, a spatial distortion suddenly appeared in the sky above.
Then two more shadows appeared—or rather, three.
One was the tall figure that had appeared earlier, and the other was a person riding a bull—or perhaps a suanni?
Of course, it could also be a strange creature or even a thunder leopard, but that's not the point. The point is that both the human and the beast were out of their bodies.
The tall figure spoke, "Fellow Daoists, it just so happens that my martial uncle is in the sect, so I won't make things difficult for you..."
"If you two can explain your background and purpose, this matter can be let go."
Han Li's expression was strange. "Three True Venerables were dispatched?"
“I’m asking you a question,” the tall figure said calmly. “Why beat around the bush? It’s useless.”
Qu Jianlei coughed lightly. "Our purpose and background are nothing to hide, but... what if I don't tell you?"
“Yes, I find it strange too,” Han Li said, her cooperation with Qu Jianlei was now quite seamless.
"It's just a small, independent world. What right do you have to ask about our backgrounds?"
"Don't talk about three against two, do you want to gang up on us?" He beckoned with his index finger, "Then you try!"
“Hmm, this young man is quite interesting,” the True Venerable riding the bull said. “He seems to harbor a lot of resentment towards us.”
“Maybe not that big,” Han Li said calmly. “I don’t even know who you are. How about… you introduce yourselves?”
“It’s the ruthless path you’ve been thinking of,” the tall, imposing figure said. “Don’t tell me you didn’t think of that.”
Han Li tilted her head and asked, "What is the relationship between the Ruthless Path and the Remnant Realm?"
“This is not a proper question,” replied the True One riding a donkey. “This topic… is extremely problematic.”
“Then let’s pretend it’s nothing,” Han Li said casually. “But the Remnants are an independent little world. What right do you have to interrogate us?”
“Because it’s three against two,” the True Lord riding the pig replied casually, “we have no intention of outnumbering you, but… sorry.”
This is reality: when unfamiliar cultivators meet, it's three against two. Without a higher-level cultivator to take charge, it's simply a case of the many bullying the few.
"Bullying the weak with the many?" A light laugh rang out. "You said those words!"
At the same time, all the remaining cultivators on the ground were stunned and stared in horror at the sky.
Suddenly, five more figures appeared in the air, some male and some female, with different shapes and varying heights.
Some are thousands of kilometers high, while others are only... two or three meters high.
The visual difference alone is hard for most people to bear. Whether they can see it clearly is another matter, but it would definitely drive someone with OCD crazy!
However, at the same time, any cultivator who could count to five knew that... five more True Venerables had arrived!
"This..." The bodies of the two unfamiliar True Venerables trembled slightly.
This isn't fear; it's more like an attempt to break through using some kind of secret technique.
Unfortunately, the Seven True Venerables had surrounded two of them. If they were allowed to escape, wouldn't that be a huge joke?
"This..." The True Venerable riding the dog was shocked. "If I were to say that what I said just now was just something I said in the heat of the moment... would you fellow Daoists believe me?"
"Uncle-Master," the tall figure couldn't hold back any longer, "your mount, the Kui Niu..."
"Huh?" The True Venerable looked down and was immediately stunned. "How...how...how could this be?"
How did the ox that emerged from its body turn into a dog?
"Eat!" the spider sent a telepathic message to Qu Jianlei. "Delicious!"
“Then you should… be more refined,” Qu Jianlei replied quietly, “let others know that spiders are elegant creatures.”
Could he possibly stop him? Stopping the spider from eating the Azure Dragon was already a consequence of past actions.
Since it's unclear whether the other side is friend or foe, and they're clearly trying to bully us, then let's just eat them.
Hesitation will only lead to more trouble. If we wait for the powerful figure behind Kui Niu to arrive, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?
This is a calamity. If you can still act, quickly send the other party away to face this calamity. If you don't take what Heaven has given you, you will suffer the consequences.
To be honest, he was quite impressed. Everyone said that Yugiri's illusion magic was strong, but the spider was no less so... No, it was an unexpected surprise!
“I am elegant,” and in the next moment, a huge spider appeared in the air, with a diameter of more than two thousand kilometers.
"This guy... this Great Lord," Xiaoyou was speechless. If she had known you would have such a temper, they would have just stayed outside and waited.
Upon seeing this, the True Lord Riding a Dog instantly fled into the distance, abandoning even his mount. "Great...Great...Great Lord?"
The spider raised its four forelegs, then retracted two of them, trying to appear human-like.
In an instant, countless faint threads shot out from its two front paws, tightly binding the large dog and dragging it towards itself.
The big dog struggled incessantly, sometimes turning into a donkey, sometimes into a cow, and kept howling.
Even though it has a non-human face, you can still see the expression on its face, which is full of despair and helplessness.
Even more devastatingly, it couldn't even let out a howl—not because it couldn't shout, but because it was muffled.
Before everyone's eyes, such a large dog was dragged into the mouth of an even larger spider.
After swallowing the large dog, the spider even revealed a very human-like look of satisfaction in its eyes.
The surrounding cultivators were so stunned by this series of twists and turns that they were completely unable to react.
Our team went from two against one to two against three, then to seven against three, and now... a Nascent Soul level Immortal Venerable has been swallowed?
The events that unfolded in just half an hour were so dramatic and breathtaking that they surpassed the entire history of the field of cultural heritage!
A Nascent Soul level celestial beast, gone just like that, it must be... a joke, right?
It wasn't until the voice of the True Venerable who had leaped into the distance came that everyone suddenly realized that they had met the Divine Lord.
In fact, very few people in the entire Remnant World know how to address those above the True Venerable level.
Liu Yin Zhenxian quietly asked Kong Jia Zhenxian, "Thirteenth Brother, what kind of title is the Great Lord realm?"
"Is this something you can just say casually?" Kong Zhenxian scoffed. "There are realms above the Great Lord, but you should first focus on doing practical work!"
"Above the Great Lord?" Liu Yin Zhenxian's eyes became increasingly unfocused.
"Your Majesty, wait!" The True Venerable riding the dog finally realized what was happening. "That's a sect's guardian beast... the karma involved is significant!"
The spider glanced at him casually, then swallowed the big dog whole, its round belly beginning to swell and contract.
Riding Dog True Venerable's face was ashen. That was the immortal venerable who protected the Dao. How could he... just be gone like that?
Enraged, he glared fiercely at the True Venerable—"You destroyed my immortal beast, we…"
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei glanced at him coldly. "I don't want my own kind to kill each other. You've brought this upon yourself!"
He never minded eliminating the root of the problem, even though the other party had already left the body. Logically, he should leave some high-end combat power for the cultivation world.
However, the spider had already demonstrated the cultivation of a Great Lord and even swallowed a beast that had left its body, yet the other party still dared to harbor resentment!
He felt it was best to resolve the issue once and for all, given that the person was so clueless.
It's not the cunning of bad people that's scary, but the sudden inspiration of fools. Some clueless idiots are capable of causing trouble far beyond what normal people can imagine.
So, it's better to die sooner rather than later.
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment," Xiao You said calmly, "Spare his life, trace back to the source... and destroy this fool's lineage!"
What she was really worried about was that the sect behind the other party might even have a Nascent Soul Grandmaster.
Our side has already eliminated a Nascent Soul Immortal Beast, but thankfully it did not harm any Human True Venerables, which can be regarded as a "minor punishment".
Killing these two as well would essentially create an irreconcilable blood feud.
Hearing her words, the onlookers were completely dumbfounded: Well, now it's updated to the point of destroying the lineage of the Nascent Soul True Venerable!
“There’s no need for that,” Han Li said coldly. He was determined to go up against Xiao You. “We can eliminate this scoundrel first, and then destroy his lineage.”
The True Venerable did not want to provoke karma, but when the spider swallowed the big dog, he believed that things were beyond repair.
The karmic consequences of severing the lineage are naturally greater. However, the great beings are simply unwilling to get involved in karma, not unable to!
Throughout recorded history in the cultivation world, countless instances of the lineage being severed have occurred.
It must be admitted that Han Li is indeed more lawless than Xiao You.
