Chapter 962: Coincidental Meeting
Huang Yu gasped with a look of shock on his face, “Is there another expedition taking place? I’ve been hanging out in Star Origin City for the past few years and I have no idea what’s going on anymore. I wonder which unlucky world or faction entered our crosshairs this time...”
A cultivator, who had the look of a refined, yet degenerate scum, mumbled calmly, “Our Spirit Abundance World swept away everything close to us and there aren’t any enemies anymore. From what I can infer, the expedition should be targeted at a world some distance away.”
“Could it be another invasion of the world that managed to stop us twice?” Huang Yu sucked in a cold breath and probed.
Shaking his head, the gentle scum replied resolutely, “Impossible. From the number of Star Ships that have gathered, they’re clearly there to move a large amount of resources. That would mean that our world is extremely confident of success. If we’re facing those bunch of backward losers who managed to get away twice, they wouldn’t start their victory preparations so early. Moreover...” Glancing at Huang Yu, he continued, “... After the failure of our second invasion, that backward land managed to ascend into a Spirit World with a stroke of luck. It won’t be that easy to mess with them again. Unless we manage to form an alliance with other Spirit Worlds and are willing to pay a hefty price...”
After he spoke, several experts who were listening at the side gasped in fright.
“What?! They managed to ascend into a Spirit World?”
“Are you serious?”
“Wouldn’t that mean we won’t be able to take our revenge?”
“Our Spirit Abundance World hasn’t suffered such a huge setback in many years, right? Not to mention failing twice... Are we going to let them off so easily?!”
“...”
Everyone turned their attention towards the world that embarrassed the Spirit Abundance World twice and discussions broke out everywhere. The gentle scum didn’t bother about them as his chilly gaze landed on Huang Yu again. “Since you came from the Star Origin City, haven’t you heard of what happened?”
With a look of confusion on his face, Huang Yu eventually thought of something and he yelled in shock, “Oh! I got it!”
Seeing as everyone’s attention had returned to him, Huang Yu explained, “There was a massive commotion over at the Star Origin City a few days ago. I heard that a new Spirit World managed to form a spatial tunnel with the Star Origin City and with that, there are a total of 5 Spirit Worlds connected to them now. Could it be... Could it be related to the new Spirit World? However, I didn’t hear anything about an expedition to another world.
Huang Yu looked at the gentle scum with a curious look. After all, he could feel that the other party was getting slightly suspicious of him.
He seemed to have succeeded as the gentle scum revealed a look of realization. He felt that Huang Yu was definitely someone who was mucking about in the Star Origin City as all the news he had seemed to be things he learned from others.
Someone at the side suddenly interjected politely, “Deacon Tang, everyone knows a direct disciple from the Heaven Embroidery Palace favors you... How can ordinary people like us dream of receiving the intelligence you receive?”
Huang Yu cupped his fists hastily and revealed a look of surprise. “As it turns out, Deacon Tang comes from the Heaven Embroidery Palace! I apologize for not recognizing you sooner! Please accept my apology!”
Revealing a look of superiority, Deacon Tang snorted, “It’s nothing much. I’m merely one of Lady Yunsha’s subordinates. I’m not special at all! Many thanks for fellow cultivators’ recognition...”
Huang Yu couldn’t help but lower his status once again as he continued to ask, “Deacon Tang, if I may... You said that the expedition isn’t aimed at the newly ascended Spirit World. However, from what you were saying, it seems to have something to do with them... Is there something we don’t know?”
“Exactly, exactly! Deacon Tang, please enlighten us!”
“Fortunately, we managed to run into Deacon Tang today. Otherwise, we’ll never be able to gain access to information like this!”
“All of you, shut up! Let Deacon Tang speak!”
“...”
Deacon Tang’s expression turned solemn, but he acted as though he was being put in a spot for revealing ‘crucial’ intelligence. Eventually, he mumbled ‘reluctantly’, “Fine. Since most of the Star Ships have already gathered, this matter isn’t considered too big of a secret. I’ll tell you guys what is going on.”
Everyone cheered as they started to kiss his ass even further.
The haughty smile on Deacon Tang’s face grew wider as he started to talk more about what he learned. The more he spoke, the less he filtered his words. He started to mention what happened in the Star Relay the other day and he even mentioned the Spirit Abundance World’s target! The name of the Azure Oddity World quickly entered their ears.
Compared to experts like Shang Xia who personally experienced the battle, Deacon Tang’s description of the battle seemed pretty exaggerated. He probably heard it from someone else and added his own details... However, the general idea was pretty much correct and the news was reliable.
From the gossip Shang Xia heard during his description of the battle, he could tell that the gentle scum before him seemed to be one of the lovers a direct disciple of the Heaven Embroidery Palace was keeping...
After receiving the admiration and cheers of everyone present, Deacon Tang seemed even more willing to share the information he knew. He started to talk about the expedition plan laid out by the 9 great powers of the Spirit Abundance World.
“Wait... 9 great powers of the Spirit Abundance World... Didn’t the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake seal themselves off?”
“Yeah... True Immortal Yuanshan from the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake was slain in another world. What rights do they have to maintain their position as one of the 9 great powers?”
“Oh yeah, what’s the Spirit World that managed to stop our invasion and kill True Immortal Yuanshan called?”
“The Spirit Luxuriant World! They were called the Azure Ascension World in the past, but after their ascension, it was renamed to the Spirit Luxuriant World!”
“Maybe... The Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake might still control their Elysium!”
“Could they have already produced a new True Immortal? After all, they’re an Elysium that existed for a long time. How could they not have a proper inheritance for the Martial Void Realm?”
Deacon Tang sneered coldly, “Hehe, if Dugyu Yuanshan really had a plan back then, why would he choose to act as the vanguard in the second invasion against the Spirit Luxuriant World? Wasn’t it just to gain a little more merit and obtain more favors from the World’s Will for his disciples? It’s a shame. Not only did he fail, he even sacrificed himself during the process. He wasn’t the only one who died in the Spirit Luxuriant World either. The disciple he poured all his effort into was also slain there. After counting all the experts who came back, the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake suffered the greatest loss... Do you guys get it now?”
“So that’s what happened...”
Gasps could be heard in all directions.
“Deacon Tang, do you mean to say that not only was True Immortal Yuanshan killed in the Spirit Luxuriant World, but the experts of the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake who had the potential to break through to the Martial Void Realm also disappeared suddenly? Looks like the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake won’t be able to maintain their inheritance for much longer... Actually, with the deaths of so many high-level experts. They should be running into trouble really soon!” Huang Yu ‘analyzed’ after receiving all the information from Deacon Tang. He instantly received cries of acknowledgment and agreement from those around.
However, another voice interrupted everyone’s excitement. “Do you think the other 8 great powers are behind the heavy losses the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake suffered?”
The moment the accusation was thrown out, everyone fell quiet.
Deacon Tang, who was bursting with excitement when talking about all the ‘exclusive’ information he had, finally realized he had gone too far. If what he spoke about got out, he would be the first person punished!
He felt a chill running down his body. When that happened, Qiu Yunsha, the direct disciple of the Heaven Embroidery Palace might not be willing to bail him out of trouble!
Huang Yu observed Deacon Tang’s expression at the side and when he saw the troubled look on his face, he couldn’t help but curse the last person for butting in. It would probably be difficult to learn more now that Deacon Tang had snapped back to reality.
However, his displeasure didn’t affect his award-winning acting skills in any way. Turning to the person who spoke, he snapped, “Fellow cultivator, what are you implying? With our comrades being hunted down, do you think our Martial Void Realm Ancestors would save disciples of their own faction or those from factions unrelated to them? Do you think they would ignore their own disciples? The reason the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake suffered heavy losses is because True Immortal Yuanshan was killed! They lost the protection of their Ancestor and thus suffered in the hands of the enemy. How can you even imply that the other factions are behind this?”
The person who spoke earlier understood that his accusations were indeed inappropriate and he quickly got to his feet to apologize. “I was muddle-headed and didn’t think before speaking. Fellow cultivator is right! Deacon Tang, please don’t take offense! I take back everything I said.”
The next moment, Huang Yu roared with laughter to get rid of the depressing air in the Star Ship. “Alright, alright, weren’t we just casually chatting because we have nothing else to do? I believe none of us will take what we said seriously. We won’t reveal the information we heard from Deacon Tang either!”
“Fellow cultivator, you can call me Tang Fengxiang. Many thanks for the assistance...” Deacon Tang’s low voice rang in Huang Yu’s ears the next moment.
Seeing as the matter had blown over for the time being, Huang Yu smiled in response, “You can call me Huang Yu. Brother Tang, there’s no need for thanks. They truly spoke without thinking...”
However, Tang Fengxiang continued, “Brother Huang, you’ve been cultivating in the Star Origin City for so long... Are you heading back now because you miss home?”
Because of Huang Yu’s performance earlier, Tang Fengxiang could tell that he wasn’t heading back to the Spirit Abundance World for fun. He felt that Huang Yu probably wasn’t doing too well in the Star Origin City and that was why he was returning.
A bitter smile quickly appeared on Huang Yu’s face. “Brother Tang, aren’t you making fun of me? Back in the Star Origin City... Sigh, nothing went right during my time there... I thought of returning to find more opportunities...”
Huang Yu’s expression and words confirmed Tang Fengxiang’s guesses. He quickly mentioned, “Brother Huang, if you can trust me, you can do something for me. However, I don’t know if you dare to...”
Huang Yu’s eyes lit up. “I haven’t been able to improve for many years. I won’t give up any chance that comes my way! Brother Tang, if you’re willing to entrust your task to me, I won’t let you down!”
Tang Fengxiang grunted once and growled in a low voice, “If I have a way to allow you to enter the expedition to attack the Azure Oddity World, would you dare to fight?”
