Chapter 275: Let’s Do It
As they now had their goal in this Ancient Ruin, the three of them continued their journey. Of course, Albert made a decision to remain on the ground.
Gin persuaded him to go faster, but Albert refused for one reason. He wanted to lay low for the time being. If others recognized him this soon, they would get into trouble later.
After all, he was planning to use the Yin Yang Bell to lure them out. That was why he didn’t want others to think it was a trap because they recognized him.
Gin finally understood his reason. If others saw him easily crossing this torrential Spiritual Energy, they would think that Albert was far too strong and if he acted weak to lure them later, they wouldn’t take the bait.
Hence, hiding their power was the correct choice.
Of course, traveling on the ground also had its own problem. This wasn’t a plain, but a forest. Traveling through the forest would significantly reduce one speed since they had to avoid all these trees.
Though, they didn’t stop from killing the Joyful Union Sect with the help of Mu Yanxue and the disciple token. Now that Gin was with him, not a single Joyful Union Sect managed to fight back. After all, Gin had Bonkichi and the salamander. Bonkichi surrounded them with its tentacle bonks while the salamander scared them with its appearance. That was when Albert and Gin eliminated their enemies.
Since he couldn’t avoid hiding it anymore, Albert told Gin not to kill the people from the Joyful Union Sect because he would be the one to kill them.
Of course, Albert didn’t tell the whole truth. Gin only knew that Albert was able to get more energy if he killed them because his bat was the original. And the original bat could suck the enemy to dry by killing it.
Gin didn’t know it was actually Experience Points to level up.
The group continued moving to where the Spiritual Energy came from, hoping to see the end soon.
However, the journey was quite harsh because it took them a whole day to finally see the first structure in this Ancient Ruin.
The structure itself was huge. It stretched from one end to another like that of a wall. But there was one thing differentiated it from a wall.
It did have a big building at the very center as if the one that stretched to one end to another was to stop the people from advancing and the big building was the entrance.
They had to take on this entrance before they could pass through this place.
"This is..." Gin squinted his eyes, examining the building.
"What do you think, Gin? Is there something wrong with the structure?" Albert asked.
"No. I don’t think I see anything wrong. And if I remember correctly, a structure like this is usually the place for the inheritances. In other words, if he wants to get it, we have to go there. And from the looks of it, there are people around there."
"So, they’re waiting?"
"Yeah. I’m assuming that the gate hasn’t opened yet. And the people can’t go past the wall because of a barrier or something." Gin confirmed.
"Should we go then?"
"Do we have a plan?" Gin asked while glancing at Mu Yanxue. It was clear that bringing Mu Yanxue there would bring more trouble.
Mu Yanxue lowered her head and said, "I’ll go separately."
However, Albert stopped her and said, "Yeah. We’ll go there together."
"M-master!" Mu Yanxue was stunned. She never expected that Albert dared to bring more trouble. After all, if she was spotted by the enemies, there would be a huge conflict going. So, she didn’t want to trouble him. She thought, ’Even though I’m just a burden that will give him trouble. He still wants me to follow him because he doesn’t want to lose me... Master, I’m going to follow you for the rest of my life.’
And of course, that was just her imagination, romanticizing Albert’s action.
Meanwhile, Albert used the Bonk Network and told Gin, ’If we bring Mu Yanxue with us and the Joyful Union Sect considers her a traitor, it’ll be beneficial for us, especially if the one branding her as traitor is their young master. After all, the one putting the collar in Mu Yanxue’s neck is him.
’Hence, we beat the shit out of him and act like we are afraid to kill him. We just want him to release Mu Yanxue’s collar. After that, I’m sure that their young master will bring more reinforcements. In other words, all remaining Joyful Union Sect members.
’At that time, we shall kill them by using Yin Yang Bell as the bait. With this, we can eliminate all the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect... Well, maybe leave one alive to tell the tale so that the Five Elements Mountain and the Joyful Union Sect will fight each other.
’We can take advantage of it to eliminate the Joyful Union Sect. This way, the people from the magic continent won’t have to suffer. Of course, by leveling up in that war, we can return to the magic continent easily. In other words, this is a set up for Joyful Union Sect’s extermination.’
Albert shared his thought and decision. He didn’t realize it yet, but Albert’s thought had gradually become that of a cultivator. He took advantage of the foolishness of a cultivator to cause chaos that gave him benefit.
He just wanted to finish the mission as soon as possible and return to the Magic Continent to explore the rest of the continent before heading back here. The sooner he finished this mission, the sooner he could explore. And Gin’s idea about exploring all continents would be realized quicker.
In that instant, Gin finally understood why he could follow Albert. His initial motivation was the bonk, but after following Albert for a while, he realized that Albert was someone who could adapt easily as if he had gotten used to trouble and overcome it.
Gin replied with a huge smirk on his face. "Let’s do it."
