Chen Lusi heard the shout and slightly raised her head.
A middle-aged man with a wooden expression, a young man with fiery red hair, and a young girl with twin ponytails.
Since she had gotten to know them on the way over, it didn’t take Chen Lusi much ti to figure out who they each were.
Yin Heng of Self, Sang Chao of the Lige Brigade, and Shu Li of the Taishan Brigade.
The three were in a standoff.
Apart from the confrontation in mid-air.
On the ground, other mbers belonging to the three factions were also in a tense standoff, watching each other warily.
And past them.
A large area of open ground stretched forward, ending at a flat-topped rise, like a cliff, with a very steep slope.
A stone tablet, its inscription unclear, stood at the top of the rise.
The stone, regarded as a miraculous artifact, hovered above the tablet, not far from the three of them.
As Chen Lusi observed the environnt.
The man with the fiery red hair spoke.
"You shouldn’t take it."
He looked calmly at the young girl with twin ponytails not far away and said, "Your Authority Ability is being restricted, it’s not safe."
"Are you fucking kidding !?"
Shu Li, with a slightly baby-faced appearance, cursed directly, outraged: "I can’t give it to you for safekeeping? You disregard everything and attack !? What kind of idiot are you!?"
"Don’t you understand yet?"
The wooden-faced Yin Heng glanced at his palm where a tendril seed sowhat afraid, then looked at the floating ’stone,’ suddenly smiled and interrupted: "Neither my He Luo Authority nor your Dragon Slayer Authority has anything to do with water.
Although I don’t know whose artifact this stone is...it’s clearly more advanced, and our Authority Abilities are naturally suppressed once near it.
But Sang Chao’s Phoenix Authority is not affected."
At this,
He paused, slightly raised his hand to let the tendril in his palm co out, let it twist freely in the air, then continued: "But if you get the stone, it’ll be different, maybe not suppression, but enhancent.
In that case, it might be the Phoenix that gets suppressed, would you hand the stone to him then? That’s what Sang Chao is worried about...Hah, I thought the Celestial Strategy Mansion was united, but who knew they had so much on their minds."
Sang Chao listened with a blank expression.
Neither admitting nor denying.
"Don’t use ’chaos’ to stir up trouble here!"
Shu Li suddenly turned her head, glaring fiercely at Yin Heng and the tendril twisting in his palm: "Be careful or I’ll cut both your heads off later!"
Yin Heng didn’t mind, but his face, which was originally wooden, suddenly showed a hint of amusent.
Shu Li realized this, imdiately looked down at the other mbers below.
"Bastard! Are you attacking us just to seize the stone!? I’m telling you now, even if I die! I won’t let you have it!"
Sure enough, the atmosphere beca tenser.
One mber glared furiously at Sang Chao’s side, suddenly shouting.
The expressions of other mbers also showed hostility.
"Do you not understand human speech!? Do you not understand the words that Shu Li’s Authority is being suppressed!? Why are you so eager to get the stone!? To further solidify your Crown Prince Team’s position? Well, we insist on taking it!!"
On the other side.
The mbers on Sang Chao’s side also showed expressions of hostility, glaring at Shu Li’s side.
Both sides seed to be on the verge of action.
"Get a grip!"
Shu Li, angry, saw the state of everyone: "Don’t you notice your minds being affected!? If you can’t stand it, don’t look at those disgusting tentacles!"
"Boss! We know!"
The mber who shouted at first lifted his head, loudly responding: "But we’re not being affected! Can’t you see it? That bastard Sang Chao just wants the stone! He might not even want to take it out, but absorb it completely! He’s harboring ulterior motives!
That initial infighting was very suspicious! He wants to betray the Celestial Strategy Mansion! He just attacked and killed our people! Attacked you! And you want us to stay calm!?"
"Yes!!"
The others loudly agreed.
Sang Chao’s side remained silent, but many of them drew their weapons, seemingly ready to act.
"Sang Chao!"
Shu Li looked at Sang Chao.
"I told you, your Authority is suppressed, you’re not suited to safeguard the stone."
Sang Chao calmly replied.
But he showed no intention of calming the people below.
"You!"
Looking at the ordinary mbers below, Shu Li was trembling with anger, after a long while: "Rember this!"
Saying that.
She suddenly turned her head towards Yin Heng, took a deep breath, and behind her appeared the phantom of a tall man wearing Two-Tier Armor, holding a Sharp Sword in one hand and a Wine Vat in the other.
Then.
She waved her right hand to the side, condensing moisture in the air to form a Sui Blade completely made of liquid.
Shu Li, holding the Sui Blade, leaned forward, stepped on an air wall, and instantly shot towards the watching Yin Heng.
In an instant.
She appeared in front of Yin Heng.
Shu Li swung her blade directly at him.
Yin Heng frowned, the tendril in his palm instantly spread out, wrapping around the Sui Blade aid at him.
The Sui Blade made of water trailed droplets, slicing through the air.
But just as it made contact with the tendril, it disintegrated, transforming into a surging mass of water, forming a sphere that enveloped Yin Heng, trapping him inside.
On the other side.
Noticing Shu Li had softened her stance to hold off Yin Heng,
Sang Chao also moved.
His fiery red hair lifted without wind, as if alive, and fine sparks floated from his hair strands.
Then.
Sang Chao, trailing sparks all over, dashed towards the miraculous artifact stone.
Swift as blazing fire.
"I didn’t expect you’d actually play the dog to hold off."
Pop—
As Sang Chao acted, several tendrils suddenly broke through the water sphere, erging outside.
Yin Heng’s voice rang out.
Shu Li raised her hand again.
But Yin Heng had no intention of fighting her, and several tendrils swiftly whipped outward, scattering the water sphere and imdiately turning towards Sang Chao.
Sang Chao tilted his head while flying, and suddenly a phoenix’s cry rang out.
Behind him, the sparks transford into a fire phoenix, blocking Yin Heng.
But Yin Heng didn’t care at all, and one of his tentacles suddenly lengthened and touched the ground.
He directly borrowed strength mid-air, dodged the fire phoenix, and appeared on Sang Chao’s inevitable path, opening his hand.
Countless tentacles swept out from his palm.
Sang Chao frowned, forced to stop, and began evading the elusive tentacles.
"... ..."
On the other side.
Shu Li watched as Yin Heng disengaged to stop Sang Chao, hesitated for a mont and decided not to help but instead rushed towards the miracle-like Stone.
The most important thing was still the Stone, and Sang Chao’s state was very off.
But just as she was about to get closer to the Stone, still so distance away...
A crescent-shaped splendid spark suddenly flew from afar.
Shu Li stopped urgently, barely dodging, and hadn’t had ti to react.
A few more crescent-shaped splendid sparks, like blade air, instantly arrived.
Right in the center of her brow.
Pfft—
Water and fire mingled.
Mist stead upwards.
Shu Li slowly turned her head, facing the mist ascending from her body, looking at Sang Chao: "What the hell do you an!!! Are you really sick?!!!"
"I just said, your Authority is suppressed and not suitable for safeguarding that Stone."
Sang Chao dodged Yin Heng’s tentacles while raising his hand towards her.
The fire phoenix that originally intercepted Yin Heng cried out once more, spreading its wings and rushing towards Shu Li.
"Sang Chao!!!"
Shu Li saw this scene, her eyes widened, her body trembling with anger, completely enraged.
She directly disregarded the Stone, once more condensing a Sui Sword, rushing towards the fire phoenix.
The three were restraining each other, none could approach the Stone for the mont.
And the situation above was just like this.
Not to ntion below...
Originally, everyone could barely maintain calm.
But when they saw Sang Chao attacking Shu Li, and Shu Li wielding a Sui Blade charging towards the fire phoenix.
The situation spiraled completely out of control.
"Kill them!"
Soone suddenly shouted.
Then, ordinary mbers from different brigades couldn’t hold back any longer, starting to fight directly.
All sorts of Techniques were flying everywhere.
"... ..."
Chen Lusi stood afar, witnessing this scene with her own eyes, and remained silent.
... Is this the Celestial Strategy Mansion?
Footsteps sounded beside her.
Jin Yi revealed an angry expression, instinctively took a step forward.
Chen Lusi returned to herself, reached out to pull him: "Calm down."
Upon hearing her voice, Jin Yi jerked back to himself, seeing clearly the chaos ahead.
He looked up, staring at Yin Heng in mid-air.
His expression extrely grim.
"Chaos?"
"How can the chaos brought by Yin Heng’s Authority Ability reach such a level when most people here are battle-hardened..."
Wu Yuting heard Jin Yi’s words, sighed: "The contradictions from top to bottom have burst out, it could be private grievances, it could be selfish desires... Chaos at best can be considered a pretext."
"It’s over."
On the other side.
Tian Wencheng watched the battlefield already stained with blood, sowhat despairing: "If this keeps going..."
He did not continue speaking.
But the few of them understood his aning.
And this is not even the end...
As they were speaking.
Two more groups appeared on the battlefield from different directions.
The leaders Chen Lusi did not recognize.
But Sang Chao clearly did, he dodged Yin Heng’s tentacles, then looked towards the stout man in the west, directly stated: "Shu Li has the potential for betrayal, subdue everyone of them! Whether they belong to Self or the Taishan Brigade! If they resist... kill them on the spot! Don’t hold back!"
"Sang Chao!!!"
Shu Li cleaved the fire phoenix apart with one slash, hearing this, clenched her fists tightly, shaking with the force.
Truly gone mad!
Then.
She realized, looked towards the people on the east side, commanded coldly in the sa manner: "Get everyone to drop their weapons! Especially Sang Chao’s people!"
Faced with two completely different orders.
The newly joined people on the battlefield hesitated.
But as the already fighting people charged at them.
Things spiraled completely out of control...
Everyone tangled together.
A larger scale chaotic battle began to unfold.
In the end.
Chen Lusi couldn’t even distinguish who were mbers of ’Self’ and who belonged to the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
Because everyone was fighting.
And that miracle-like Stone, still hung high above, seemingly coldly observing this farce.
Chen Lusi: "... ..."
"Upper God, can you see this?"
Suddenly.
A voice sounded.
Chen Lusi slowly turned her head, and found a little monkey with a white head and blue body standing beside her.
