Chapter 346: Why Are There Fewer People?

"Drive...?" Yue Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Right, Senior Brother Long, how about Junior Sister takes you to see the world today? This is a special way to improve cultivation. Not only can it raise your cultivation level, but you can also learn a lot of things you wouldn't normally learn. I guarantee you'll surpass Senior Brother Li under the Master’s seat in this year's sect competition!"

"If Senior Brother wants to go, I can take you to have a look right now, how about it?!" Yue Yan also brought this up on a whim. After all, every time she drove, she was roasted to no end by Mo Xian, without a shred of superiority. Several of her junior sisters were already experienced drivers, so they didn't need her guidance.

Taking a complete novice this time meant she could finally play the role of an old driver again. She would first get them to understand various games and movies, and after drawing them into the pit, she would show off her driving skills, which would surely blind their eyes!

After all, a job like the Fleeca Bank only required a two-person team and was not considered high in difficulty. It was entirely possible for one player to just watch the other show off their execution the whole time.

"Uh..." Long Yi's expression shifted slightly, and he thought to himself, "What is going on? Could it be that Junior Sister has also accepted that lord's power?!"

"But that lord clearly told us to go at midnight tonight..." Doubt flickered in Long Yi's heart, "Why can Junior Sister go over right now? Is it because I haven't done well enough?"

"Fine!" Long Yi nodded and said, "Then I shall go along with Junior Sister to take a look!"

Anyway, there was still a long time before midnight. He might as well go see what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd!

...

However, after walking for a while, Long Yi grew increasingly bewildered. "Junior Sister, this isn't the right way, is it?"

"How is it not the right way?" Yue Yan replied, "Just follow me and you'll be fine. Could it be that there are two paths out of the sect?"

"Leaving the sect?" Long Yi was utterly bewildered, thinking to himself, "Clearly, it's not the path to the forbidden area in the back mountain? How did it turn into leaving the sect?!"

At that moment, the two happened to pass by Nanhua Square.

"Ah? Isn't that Senior Sister Yue Yan?" Two female disciples were each leading a few men and women, also heading toward the outside of the sect.

"Junior Sister An Ya? Junior Sister Jiang Yan?" A look of surprise crossed Yue Yan's face, "You guys are...? Also leaving the sect?"

Behind the two girls were four other people.

"Yes," the female disciple named An Ya said in surprise, "Is Senior Sister taking Senior Brother Long Yi out of the sect?"

She giggled, "Why don't we go together?"

"Hmm...? You guys!?" Long Yi looked at them in utter confusion and said in a low voice, "Is it really okay to make such a big fuss about this kind of thing?"

"What's there to fear?" the female disciple named An Ya said, "Anyway, Master and Senior Sister Mo are taking us there. If there's any problem, it won't fall on our heads."

"Are you saying Martial Aunt Xichi is also...?" Long Yi was profoundly shocked inside, "I didn't expect Martial Aunt Xichi to be one of that lord's people as well... That lord's magical power is indeed profound and boundless!"

Originally, to increase his own power, he had worried whether he was walking down an evil path. But now, with everyone together, what was there left to worry about?

Soon, the group boarded a dharma boat and arrived at Half City.

...

On the other side.

"Senior Sister Chen Lin..." Xu Jing looked at Half City, which loomed out of the sea like the fangs of a demon beast, her heart filled with anxiety, "Are we really going to a place like this?"

"Of course!" Chen Lin encouraged her, "Summon your courage. If you're afraid of such a small thing, how can you talk about improvement?"

"Mm!" Xu Jing recalled the voice in her heart from before, which had told her to follow her inner desires. Now, for the sake of improving her strength, she would give it her all!

In front of the Origin Internet Club shop in the Thirty-Six Blocks.

"Senior Sister, it's a place like this?" Perfected Master Piaomiao was somewhat disdainful. After all, looking from the outside, it looked like an ordinary shop in every way, even if the environment inside seemed a bit special.

"Junior Brother Ye Tang," Perfected Master Xichi shook her head, "You will know once you step inside to take a look."

Pushing open the door and entering, they immediately saw that the space before them had transformed into a vast area. Seeing the astonished look on Perfected Master Piaomiao's face, Perfected Master Xichi explained with satisfaction, "Inside here is the most advanced spatial array in the entire cultivation world. On that counter over there are the most delicious delicacies in the entire cultivation world: instant noodles, cola, and spicy sticks. Not only can they promote cultivation, refresh the mind, and focus the spirit, but they also have the effect of refining the spiritual energy impurities within the body."

"Then what about the heavenly book you mentioned, Senior Sister?"

"Of course it's here." Perfected Master Xichi led Ye Tang to the counter, "Xiao Mo, help my junior brother activate it. Activate everything. Are there still seats left?"

"Yes!" Zou Mo took the spiritual crystals and hurriedly said, "Over there, machine one hundred and three and machine one hundred and four have both logged off, and no one is using them yet."

"???" Perfected Master Piaomiao was somewhat dazed, "What's what?!"

Under Perfected Master Xichi's introduction, Perfected Master Piaomiao sat down in front of a computer and began watching Zhu Xian.

"If you want to read the heavenly book, you can first click on episode twelve. There is also a volume of the heavenly book in the Emperor's Treasure Vault in episode twenty-eight," Perfected Master Xichi explained, "However, to understand the mysteries of the entire heavenly book, it is best to watch every single episode. This is more helpful for contemplating the ultimate truths within!"

Without realizing it, he had already clicked on the first episode, where Perfected Master Qingye emerged from seclusion: "So... so strong! Is this person a true immortal on earth...?!"

"I am actually standing right beside him watching, and I can even comprehend his spells and sword techniques! Too incredible!"

...

At the same time, the gentle and frail-looking female disciple named Xu Jing was also led into the internet cafe.

"Senior Sister, what are we doing here?"

"The place where cultivation improves the fastest in this world!" While teaching her how to enter the game, Chen Lin said proudly, "Come, I'll teach you to finish the previous quests first. There is a lot of experience."

"Experience...? What do I need that for?"

On the other side, Long Yi and the others were already playing. A loud shout echoed through the internet cafe, "So much experience! I feel it! I feel the improvement in my cultivation! In such a short time, the improvement is so obvious!"

"With this, in the next decisive battle, I will definitely defeat Senior Brother Li! Wonderful! Simply wonderful! Hahaha!"

Just as they were playing happily, they seemed to have forgotten certain things from before.

For instance... it was already midnight.

The midnight hour was already half gone.

Within the forbidden area of the Nanhua Sect.

"Master Feng, has the matter that lord wanted you to handle been settled?" On a moonless night, the figure standing ahead was a strange woman with white hair and red lips.

"Naturally," the grey-robed cultivator with a transcendent air smiled with a kind and gentle expression, "That lord must not forget our rewards!"

All around, quite a few Nanhua Sect disciples arrived one after another.

"Naturally!" The woman suddenly glanced around, "Why are there people missing?"

Her brow furrowed slightly. Under the very nose of the Nanhua Sect, each of these people had been gathered by her with great difficulty and effort.

But today, not only were there missing people, but today was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She had clearly struck personally, and Perfected Master Piaomiao had already been unable to resist. Soon, she would have another capable assistant, but now...

The person was gone!!??

She had clearly told them to come here at midnight. Could she have stated the wrong time?!

And at this moment, Long Yi, who had just stepped out of the internet cafe, suddenly had a drastic change of expression, "Oh no, what time is it now?!"
