Chapter 1197 - 932: Above the Wasteland
"Do you dare?" The leader in red, with a cold face, was about to take action to threaten, but was interrupted.
A little girl, only thirteen or fourteen years old in the large camp, sneered coldly, "Since we’re forced into a dead end by you, why not fight to the death rather than allow you to pick us off one by one, dying in disgrace?
The other day, you concocted some random excuse to seriously injure my master uncle. He held back for the bigger picture, hoping that everyone could live peacefully for a few more days, and maybe even find other world fragments to survive.
Now, with no way out, even if my skills are lacking, I can take one or two of you down with me by self-destructing. At worst, I can seriously injure you!"
"Taking our concessions as your ability, you are overestimating yourselves."
"Don’t you count the numbers? Even if we self-destruct one by one and take thirty-plus of you down, there’d still be nearly a hundred left."
"Is cultivating a Fire Attribute Technique so impressive?"
"We’ve all been proud cultivators, who doesn’t have a spine?"
......
The leader in red, who thought he had everyone under control earlier, turned ashen-faced, realizing that unlike those cowardly mortals, if truly desperate, they would fight back, and he didn’t want to be embroiled in that.
As the standoff continued, the rustling yellow sand fell more and more.
Above, a small hole suddenly appeared, letting in a beam of light, and immediately a scorching aura surged in, everyone could hear the friction sounds of the venomous demon scorpions.
"Since they don’t want to exert themselves, my two Earth Attribute Daoist friends, just remove part of the cover." The young man in the large camp smiled lightly, "Since they robbed all the good stuff, even if we die, they deserve to die first to be fair."
The people in the Fire Attribute camp glanced at their leader. At this moment, if they were manipulated, it wouldn’t just be all for naught; the situation would reverse, and they’d become slaves at their whim!
The leader in red naturally thought of this, his eyes scanning back and forth, contemplating how to break the stalemate.
Just then, a series of dense explosions sounded outside, followed by a gentle, pleasant female voice, "Fellow Daoists, may we come out and talk?"
Reinforcements!
And judging by the explosive sounds, able to easily drive away the venomous demon scorpions, it should be a High Level Cultivator!
"Many thanks, Daoist, for your help; may I ask how you reached this place?" The leader in red smelled hope to leave, immediately leaping up against the intense heat, bowing in respect.
Urgently looking around, not finding any other fragments or anything to leave with, his face darkened, thinking that it might just be an unlucky wanderer drifting here seeking refuge.
At a glance, he saw many venomous demon scorpions fleeing in chaos, yet not one was extinguished. Apparently, she wasn’t as formidable as imagined, merely possessing some Protective Dharma Treasure.
However, with good looks and seemingly unafraid of the scorching heat, she too should be a Fire Attribute Cultivator.
If he could persuade her to join his camp, her ability to drive away demon beasts alone would be enough to help suppress those opposing guys!
In that brief moment, his mind raced countless laps. He even fantasized about a beautiful life with a beauty in his arms and dozens of subordinates at his beck and call.
"Miss, he’s an Evil Cultivator! Don’t be fooled by him!"
"Stay away from that guy, he’s up to no good!"
......
Most of the cultivators in the large camp found it hard to endure the intense heat and, worried that the newcomer might be deceived, shouted warnings while hiding under the cover.
Yun Shu had just used talisman paper to blow away the group of attacking demon beasts and became immediately alert upon hearing this. She retreated far back and immediately contacted the owner of the Immortal Shuttle.
"An Evil Cultivator?" Jiang Yuan immediately perked up at the news, for Evil Cultivators were quite rare in the Void!
The old scholar in the dungeon was idle anyway, finally a test subject to practice on; he wouldn’t let it slip so easily.
Advising Yun Shu to keep her distance and not act rashly, he set off right away.
"Daoist, don’t listen to their nonsense, I’m not an Evil Cultivator!" The leader in red was anxious, eager to prove he was a good man;
Meanwhile, the demon beasts not far away were excited by the strong scent of living humans; Yun Shu avoided the suspected Evil Cultivator while using talisman paper to bombard the area, preventing the demon beasts from harming survivors, creating a somewhat chaotic scene.
By the time Jiang Yuan hurriedly flew over, he saw the chaotic commotion.
"Sir! That big group says these are Evil Cultivators, not only robbing resources but also wanting to harm them;
This group of thirty to forty people says those over a hundred are all bad guys, clamoring away, I can’t tell who’s good or bad." Yun Shu hurried over to report, "And those demon beasts, they are the fiercest I’ve seen, even the most powerful Critical Strike Talismans can only repel them."
Feeling downcast, mostly because since taking on the role of Guiding Envoy, even faced with slightly tricky situations, she had to ask her mentor to step in, feeling somewhat useless.
But involving the safety of nearly two hundred cultivators, Yun Shu didn’t dare make arbitrary decisions.
If negligence led to an Evil Cultivator infiltrating the new world her mentor was building, that would be a huge offense!
Jiang Yuan immediately understood the situation at a glance.
Knowing Yun Shu always fretted about being useless, he first reassured her, "You’re doing exactly right, when it comes to Evil Cultivators, caution is necessary. After all, when guiding cultivators to the new world, the survivors there aren’t of very High Realm, should an Evil Cultivator slip in, they could cause massive damage overnight."
Reassured by her mentor, Yun Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is a fragment of a world once inhabited by demon beasts and is not suitable for cultivators to reside. How did you fellow Daoists arrive here, and why stay?" Jiang Yuan asked directly.
