Chapter 2718 I don't need you anymore!
Although no one explicitly said it, everyone in the team knew in their hearts that Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Xiao You were the Three Pride Ones.
When each small group forms unintentionally, the people involved may not even realize it, but... outsiders do!
Just like Qu Jianlei, who never thought he would set up his own faction, but in Baiqiao's eyes, he already was!
So he stopped explaining. When it comes to things that need help, the three of us are all in this together.
The only downside is that Han Li is a bit of a jerk, always messing around with Xiao You.
Speaking of this, Qu Jianlei felt a little angry. He also had a good impression of Xiaoyou, and it wouldn't be bad for the three of them to become Daoist partners.
"The three of you? That's quite something," the young lady finally spoke up again.
Surprisingly, she started making suggestive remarks again, "We're intertwined, it's... harmonious!"
No one paid any attention to her; the three prodigies made their move and quickly destroyed the Star Devouring Beast.
When the group of cultivators saw the three arrive, they were initially startled, thinking that something bad was about to happen.
The void is not only a lawless place, but also a place where all sorts of strange and bizarre things happen.
Fortunately, someone recognized Xiaoyou quickly, and after breathing a sigh of relief, she was overjoyed.
The three arrived a little late, and two of the opposing side's Nascent Soul cultivators were still seriously injured, but that didn't matter.
As for the trophy, Xiaoyou said that her side wanted 80% of it and didn't seem interested in negotiating.
She didn't even bother to communicate much with the True Lord on the other side—which could be considered arrogance, but she defined it as ineffective socializing.
Xiaoyou is not a snobbish person; rather, this is how cultivators should be.
However, the True Venerable on the other side did not mention the spoils of war first, but instead stated that he was entrusted by True Venerable Yue Ran and True Venerable Han Wei.
He led a team to search the surrounding area for possible worlds.
The void is so vast, it's truly a coincidence that Xiaoyou immediately declared: You can take half of the spoils.
After all, with the Three True Venerables taking action and the Four True Venerables providing support, saving the other party at the same time, sharing half upon meeting is already the minimum requirement.
Before the True Venerable on the other side could exchange pleasantries, Xiao You demanded, "Tell us, where are True Venerable Han Wei and the others?"
Coincidentally, the two groups of True Venerables were not far apart, and they met ten days later.
Xiaoyou didn't ask them to join. She came specifically to tell them that a major battle might break out nearby, and that they should leave.
However, Han Wei Zhenzun's greatest mission was to protect Xiao You, so how could he possibly leave upon hearing this?
So these three also joined the Seven True Ones' ranks.
Upon seeing this, the True Venerable who had been rescued also wanted to join in, but Han Wei refused.
He stated that his side was involved in a huge karmic conflict, and it wasn't that he didn't want you to share the benefits, but rather that it was simply too dangerous.
This True Venerable believed these words. Just by seeing Xiao You give up half of the Star Devouring Beast without hesitation, he knew that Xiao You was not stingy.
Looking behind the Seven True Venerables, there was also a colossal spider phantom, dragging along the vast world...
After thinking for a while, he felt that there was no need to gamble—the other party must have already divided the profits, so it was better not to get involved.
In fact, the addition of these three was quite unexpected, forcing Han Li to leave the palace and renegotiate the battle plan.
When Yue Ran Zhen Zun heard that they were going to war with the Great Lord, he was astonished.
The idea of rebelling against a great king... is best left unsaid, let alone the fact that you're planning to take action against a great king who is already on his deathbed!
But Han Wei didn't care, and neither did Lian Xing's She Niu Zhen Zun. Their essential mission was to be bodyguards!
Let alone rebelling against the Great Sovereign, even rebelling against the Mystic Venerable... cough cough, we'll talk about that later.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Yue Ran gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's fight! I'm not afraid of trouble!"
He dared to cause trouble in the Houde Realm; he was an extremely powerful True Venerable himself, so how could he not have a temper?
After making his decision, he became curious about this new face, Luo Fu, and asked, "What is she good at?"
Actually, he wanted to find out more about the other person's background, but asking directly would have been too impolite.
Luo Fu answered cautiously, "I haven't been out of body for long, and I'm currently undergoing training, collecting some treasures that I can use after leaving my body."
This wasn't her own idea; it was something the other six True Venerables had agreed upon and suggested she say.
Because of the reputation of the Haoran Sect, it is easy to attract trouble, and this sect... cannot be without enemies!
In short, when navigating the world, prudence is paramount; avoid saying things you shouldn't.
Luo Fu readily accepted the suggestion. Having been involved in martial arts training for over a thousand years, she was already accustomed to this practice.
True Venerable Yue Ran certainly doesn't believe this. To put it simply, who in the Myriad Realms doesn't know what True Venerable Xiao You means to True Venerable Qu?
Such a young and beautiful female cultivator suddenly appeared in the group. Who would believe that she didn't have something special about her?
However, he couldn't ask too many questions yet, so he could only ask one more: "Fellow Daoist, it seems you are not from Houde?"
This issue cannot be denied—when Luo Fu goes to Houde in the future, she will inevitably be marked as a "true venerable one in the outside world".
She nodded slightly and gave a muffled hum, "Mmm."
"Welcome to Wanwu, fellow Daoist," Yue Ran said naturally, trying to get closer to him—regardless of the consequences, she wanted to see if she could entice him away.
"Fellow Daoist Yue Ran, please stop joking," Xiao You couldn't stand it anymore and said calmly, "She's not suitable to go."
No matter which great world the Haoran Sect goes to, they are capable of causing chaos and are truly not to be trifled with.
This sect has no intention of causing internal strife among humans, but that doesn't mean they have a good temper!
Hao Ran's disciples are known as a bunch of madmen—what is the style of doing things like madmen?
Listening to their conversation, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but have a thought, and his true form entered the cave.
He brought out the ritual implements and asked, "Senior, do you recall if there is a ruler in Haoran who is called 'Heng'?"
"Heng?" Haoran Yingling pondered for a moment, "Is that the one you met?"
"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. At that time, he wanted to ask the Great Lord why he had plundered the spiritual energy, but he was afraid that the heroic spirit would be in a difficult position, so he put away the ritual implements.
Even after things were brought up, it wasn't appropriate to release the ritual artifact, because he felt that the other person's cultivation level was probably stronger than the young lady's.
Besides the ritual objects, there was also a Dao stele in the cave. Even though Hao Ran's sect had an excellent reputation, he didn't want to gamble.
Considering that True Lord Kan Shui was born in the Jade Beauty Realm, a place teeming with treasures, his standards must be quite high, right?
However, it not only coveted the Compass of Creation but also coveted Hanli's palace, which shows the allure of such treasures.
Ultimately, the main issue is that there are simply too few high-quality items of this caliber.
Qu Jianlei thought that it was convenient for the spirit of Haoran to enter and leave the cave; anyone who wanted to see him could come out on their own.
As for the fact that the Heroic Spirits never showed up in the end... he could understand that.
Previously, this person was ashamed to admit that he was a disciple of Haoran Sect. How could he face his fellow disciples in this half-dead state?
“I don’t quite remember,” Hao Ran Ying Ling replied, “How did you ultimately negotiate?”
These become the obsessions of heroic spirits, and their memories are mostly incomplete. What they retain as obsessions are mainly the deepest memories.
After listening to Qu Zhenzun's account, he sighed softly, "It's a good thing that Luofu has received guidance, saving me the trouble of putting in the effort."
After a pause, he added, "Count me in for rebelling against the Great Khan?"
"Don't even think about it," Qu Jianlei refused decisively, then sighed, "I was originally thinking of using the ritual artifacts... never mind!"
These heroic spirits' obsessions seem to all have some self-destructive tendencies, and he doesn't want to gamble on this one's emotions.
Thinking of the upcoming great battle and the inability to use the ritual implements, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly... What a pity.
However, he couldn't say anything more about it, otherwise he might provoke this person into a desperate act, which would be a huge problem.
After his physical body left, Hao Ran's heroic spirit sighed softly, "Uncle Heng... damn it, thank goodness he didn't show himself!"
Inside the palace, the Ten True Venerables roughly agreed on the battle plan, but the division of responsibilities was not particularly detailed.
In matters of combat, it's impossible to set rigid rules and regulations in advance.
The Great Ruler's ability to make decisions on the spot is often stronger than that of the True Lord, so the relevant details mainly emphasize doing as one pleases.
Throughout the entire process, both Kan Shui Zhenjun and the young lady remained silent, but... that's understandable.
The Great Lords are the last resort; the main fighting force comes from the True Venerables. Expecting the Great Lords to charge into battle is wishful thinking.
It is already extremely rare to have a True Lord accompanying everyone in battle.
Even someone as high-ranking as Lingyun, the manager of Baiqiao, might not get to speak to the lord even once every few years.
Without the two Grand Princes accompanying them this time, at least several people would have to back out—the other party is a Grand Prince whose lifespan is nearing its end!
However, there was no turning back now that things had come to this, so after making a decision, everyone set off.
We're really not far from the designated location now.
There is indeed no direction in the void, but you can still roughly find a range.
After more than ten days, the group finally found a relatively strange space.
Qu Jianlei first told the spider to step back—it was inconvenient for it to deal with the human race, so it should just protect the Middle Thousand World.
Then Han Li released the palace so that Kan Shui Zhenjun could make a final pilgrimage.
The white mist shone for a while, then suddenly trembled, and the white mist quickly dispersed in all directions.
The next moment, the mist gathered together again, and its divine sense was released.
"Alright, this is it... This backlash is incredibly strong!"
The young lady had previously stated that seeing the light was not without side effects, and that True Monarch Kan Shui had explicitly refused to see the Haoran Mountain Gate.
However, what Qu Jianlei was concerned about was, "Senior, is the other party...?"
“Don’t mention it,” White Mist interrupted him. “The less you mention it, the less risk of exposure you’ll have.”
“Alright,” Qu Jianlei didn’t press the matter. Kan Shui had always been quite wary of the other party, and this suggestion was reasonable.
He paused for a moment, then asked again, "Senior, if the situation becomes critical, you will step in, right?"
Kan Shui Zhenjun remained silent for more than ten breaths before saying, "I need to examine my inner self first; the backlash is quite severe."
"Why don't you just quit?" the woman's voice rang out again. "I know what kind of person Yuxiu is...
