Chapter 1969: Chapter 1962: Better Think About What to Have for Dinner
"Gu Xiao, he has gone too far! Our Divine Profound Hall will fight him to the death!"
Ji Xuan’s anger seemed almost tangible.
It’s one thing for them to occupy the boundary fortress of the Flame Sun Divine Nation for rest, but to humiliate them in this manner is utterly detestable.
Not just those scenes, wherever there are people, there are members of Divine Profound Hall working like beasts of burden.
Someone scrubbing toilets, someone cooking in the kitchen, enduring the stench of athlete’s foot in a foot spa, and performing balancing acts and jumping through fire rings in a circus.
The most outrageous, in a restaurant, was a naked Divine Profound Hall disciple used as a platter, with slices of sashimi arranged on parts of his body, reminiscent of a certain friend’s style.
...
"Hall Master, are we just going to watch them humiliate us under our noses?" The images caused the Vice Hall Master’s blood pressure to rise continuously.
"Not yet!" Ji Xuan took a deep breath, "Give me more time, I’ll make Gu Xiao pay!"
"And during this time..."
"Endure!"
"Endure?" The Vice Hall Master was puzzled, "Hall Master, we still have many treasures from the superpowers, Gu Xiao has many tricks, but if we risk everything, and use all our trump cards, we might stand a chance against him."
"Not necessarily," Ji Xuan said, "Gu Xiao is too formidable, formidable enough that even I am not confident in dealing with him. I need more trump cards."
"More trump cards? Do you mean..." The Vice Hall Master’s words halted, but excitement showed on his face.
"That’s right," Ji Xuan smiled, "I’ve found a way, but I need more time. Just give me a little more time, and when the time comes, no matter how strong Gu Xiao is, he won’t have any chance of survival."
"Sooner or later, the entire Continent will belong to my Divine Profound Hall!"
...
Quickly, a month passed in the newly established city, Zhang Menglong initially thought that the endurance of the Divine Profound Hall could last just three days, but surprisingly they seemed to have withdrawn silently, without any sign of unusual activity.
The feeling was as if they had abandoned the Flame Sun Divine Nation, letting Zhang Menglong and his group act freely.
"Strange, why haven’t they made any moves?" Zhang Menglong and Long Sen floated over a hot spring the size of a lake, below were tens of thousands of exhausted Divine Profound Hall disciples busy boiling water.
After a month of hard work, each one was reaching their limit, but for them, those from the superpowers couldn’t care less.
Are you exhausted? Then go rest aside. As soon as you regain some strength, return to work. This month, they’ve experienced what it means to be exploited like beasts of burden.
"Yeah, I’m puzzled too, how can they endure so much?" Long Sen was equally surprised, "If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to endure. Could it be they have run out of tricks and are now contemplating how to defend against our retaliation rather than planning revenge?"
"It’s not impossible," Zhang Menglong casually picked a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, "but I don’t think it’s that simple. The quieter they are, the more I suspect they are brewing some huge conspiracy."
"Oh?"
"I just investigated, I’m afraid the Divine Profound Hall still holds many valuable items," Zhang Menglong said.
"What items?"
"Tianyan Formation Map," Zhang Menglong said, "It’s left by the founder of Tianji Pavilion, it gathers millions of formations and can be activated to employ any formation based on the current situation, its power is immense."
"Isn’t that thing from Tianji Pavilion? Why is it in the hands of the Divine Profound Hall, haven’t they been caught?" Long Sen asked curiously.
"There was an insider," Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes, "Now Divine Profound Hall is a formidable bastion, just this formation alone is a headache for us, some top formations’ destructive power is hard to estimate."
Zhang Menglong asked the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, who told him that their mightiest formation might surpass the Illusory God on Mount Yushen, offering Divine Profound Hall 360 degrees of protection without any weakness.
"That’s troublesome, if we want to breach the Divine Profound Hall, we must tear through those formations, and in that process, we will likely suffer heavy casualties."
"There’s also something called the Beast King Seal," Zhang Menglong continued, "It’s said that it can command Warcraft across the Continent, even top race ones, once activated, warcraft will protect them, so many Warcraft would be difficult to deal with even if they stood still for us to kill."
"The World Light is also a terrifying treasure, it can concentrate World Force, even summon thunderclouds formed by World Force to attack, if we face it, we’ll suffer great losses."
...
Zhang Menglong listed all the treasures, told by those superpower leaders captured, some were robbed or deceived, now all in the hands of Divine Profound Hall.
Any single treasure is terrifyingly dangerous, combined together, Divine Profound Hall can advance or retreat effortlessly.
Not to mention, just the Beast King Seal can summon an endless stream of Warcraft to assault this city, causing endless trouble for us, yet surprisingly, this hasn’t happened.
"I suspect there’s something more important in Divine Profound Hall now than dealing with us," Long Sen managed to piece some thoughts together.
"Exactly," Zhang Menglong said, "but I suspect this matter is related to us."
"What then?" Long Sen started to panic, "If they’re preparing to target us, we must think of countermeasures in advance, should we find a way to spy on what they’re up to?"
"What’s with the panic?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "They should be the ones panicking, not us. Trust me, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is meaningless."
Looking at the worried Long Sen, Zhang Menglong patted his shoulder, "Cheer up brother, rather than think about this, let’s think about what we’ll have for dinner tonight."
