BXBX NOVEL Chapter 298 - Humans Will Eventually Grow Up!
Chapter 298: Humans Will Eventually Grow Up!
Qing Ming City.
The entire city was already in shambles.
Many people were in a state of shock and they knew that something was amiss. They hid themselves in the places untouched by the green lights.
Although some buildings had collapsed, no one was injured. In this era where the entire nation could cultivate, it was not that easy to be killed by ordinary collapsing buildings.
“Don’t panic.”
“Don’t touch the green lights!”
“Come here.”
“This way.
“We’ll hide there first.”
The policemen in Qing Ming City appeared to maintain law and order.
“Why is it you guys? Where is Zhang Wei?”
Someone asked.
“Uhhh the team leader? He went in.”
“Is he mad? Why did he go into the green area? That place is too dangerous!”
“Uh... Team leader said that he’s going to look for someone, someone who is very important...”
...
At this very moment...
Amid the green lights.
Even though beams of powerful auras had already emerged...
Zhang Wei’s expression was still calm and composed.
His gaze swept across the powerful figures. Suddenly, it landed on a certain familiar figure.
Afterward, he quietly tailed him.
When that person was alone, he punched him. Seeing that he did not retaliate, he gave him a few more punches harshly.
Crash!
Crash!
“Retaliate! Damn. Why don’t you retaliate!”
Zhang Wei hollered furiously, “Kill me and no one will sell you guys out!”
That person was silent.
He had long caught sight of Zhang Wei. That was the reason why he deliberately came alone.
After all...
He knew why Zhang Wei had come.
“Speak!”
Zhang Wei hollered furiously.
“Sorry...”
That person lowered his head.
From the beginning till now...
He didn’t dare to face Zhang Wei directly.
Many years ago, Zhang Wei was the one who had saved him. Many years ago, Zhang Wei brought him to the headquarters. Never did he imagine that when they met again, he was already everyone’s common enemy.
“How many times have you guys done things like this?”
“Five times.”
“It’s no wonder all of you advanced that quickly.”
Zhang Wei made a self-deprecating comment..
Five times...
Hehe.
It was no wonder the lowest level was a five-star.
That person didn’t dare reply.
After a long while...
Zhang Wei then asked, “Qing Ming City... Why is it that no one is willing to come here?”
That person was silent for a moment, before he said, “Team leader, I know that Qing Ming City is your home. However, from our perspective, this is just a small place.
“It’s true.
“Qing Ming City is too small.
“There are thousands of such cities.
“Who has the spare time to keep a close watch on an eighteenth-tier city at the border?!
“Look at these people...
“If the men in black did not invite them, no one would know about this place! Even us, the men in black engaged us because they wanted to contain the information...
“Besides us...
“No one else notices this place!
“This... is really just a small city.
“The few departments or people who pay attention to this city do so for special reasons. They have been blocked by the police internal department. Additionally, they are under the watch of the families of the second generation rich kids...
“Who will dare come here?”
That person finished his words in a low voice.
“Impossible!”
Zhang Wei was in disbelief. “How did it turn out like this...”
They were on the verge of life and death and no one cared about them!
Was this not the Restart Array?!
Was this not the millennium array?!
Wouldn’t everyone pay attention to this kind of super array or fortuitous encounter? Even if the crisis deduction department had been blocked by the police...
What about the rest of the people?
The seven-stars didn’t even sense this?!
“Team leader.
“Don’t be so naive, okay?
“There is no one.
“So what if they are seven-stars?
“They also have to cultivate. They have their own things to do.
“Even if they sense danger, they don’t have any clue. Out of the thousands of eighteenth-tier cities, how will they possibly find their way to Qing Ming City? Furthermore...”
That person sighed. “There are more serious matters happening in many other places!
“A seven-star ferocious beast has appeared in a small city in the south. Some seven-stars have gone there to give their support.
“In a small city in the west, a strange phenomena has occurred. There is chaos on the earth. Some people went there to help...
“It’s the same for the east...
“In comparison...
“Qing Ming City’s situation is really insignificant.
“Especially, under our perfect cover.
“Believe me. Team leader. We are very professional when it comes to covering up data,” he said very seriously.
Inexplicably, Zhang Wei felt sorrowful.
He vaguely remembered what his words to him when he saved him had been...
“Believe me. We are very professional when it comes to protecting people.”
Hahaha!
Zhang Wei suddenly laughed.
The man cast a pitiful gaze at Zhang Wei. He could not bear to do this. They had not met for many years and the team leader was still that kind, or perhaps, naive?
Humans have to grow up.
“Team leader. Don’t be naive. There is no other way. Follow us.”
He sighed. “I’ve done such things many times. We won’t be discovered. Those people are very experienced. They have guarded themselves against almost all possible loopholes.”
“But some hiccups still happened.”
Zhang Wei’s gaze was cold and chilling.
He could tell that the Restart Array was not completed!
“It is enough for half of the array to be completed.
“Besides... Lu Yan... Are you pinning your hopes on her?”
That person laughed suddenly. “Yes, Lu Yan is surprised because she merely sent her sword here. That’s why we have a hiccup! However...
“So what?!
“Her Sword Embryo has erupted and she is not here. What else can she do?!
“Who else can you pin your hopes on?
“Lu Yan?
“Or her master?
“I know. You think that Lu Yan’s master will definitely come because Lu Yan’s younger brother is here?
“You’re too naive.
“Do you know who her master is? There is a huge calamity in Thule. Thirty-two peak six-stars died of unnatural causes. Two seven-stars are trapped. Qiu Shuyi has to go there and risk her life!
“Do you think that... all the powerful figures have to keep a close watch on this city?
“There is no one else.
“Is there anything worth paying attention to in this place?
“Absolutely nothing!
“Team leader.
“Believe me.
“Sometimes.. It is true that you can only rely on yourself!
“So... Let’s become more powerful together.”
He looked at Zhang Wei earnestly.
Zhang Wei was silent. He looked up, his voice had already become hoarse. “There is... no longer any hope for this place?”
“Yes.”
That person sighed. “After we leave this place, we will cover up everything. Eventually, Qing Ming City will become a city that was destroyed due to the unexpected activation of a powerful array.”
“Yes. There will be no mention of a fortuitous encounter or policemen. Some matters will be covered up quietly...
“People will only pay attention to the men in black, the activation of the array, the destroyed array and the people who died in it..”
What should I do?
Zhang Wei seemed to be struggling internally.
That person was slightly elated. Many years ago, he had been convinced this way. To hell with his sense of responsibility. What responsibility? It was not as important as his own ability.
“Follow me,” that person said.
“Okay.”
Zhang Wei’s expression was still confused.
Obviously, he had not understood what he should do.
“Let’s go. We’ll look for the chance encounter first.”
The man rejoiced.
Although he had done many bad things, he would forever owe the most to his team leader who saved him from a desperate situation...
That was his dilemma!
Finally, he had convinced the team leader to join them!
“Team leader.
“I’ll guide you in the future...”
He was somewhat excited.
Suddenly...
Poof!
There was pain in his chest.
He turned back. Behind him, Zhang Wei who had just followed him actually took out his weapon and pierced him.
A sharp knife had impaled his chest.
“Team leader, you...”
He was in disbelief.
“Child. You have to remember.”
A trace of a smile emerged on Zhang Wei’s face. “Elementalists should not get too close to someone or let down your guard... Otherwise, you will be killed.
“Also...”
Zhang Wei gradually put him down on the ground. “Don’t be too naive... Like you said, humans have to grow up.”
After a long while...
He stopped breathing.
“You’re right...
“This time...
“We have to rely on ourselves.”
Zhang Wei wore a grave expression. He looked up at the cultivators in the distance. His gaze was deep and profound. He then glanced at the person before his eyes who was already lying on the ground.
Afterward...
He removed all of his clothing...
...
At this very moment...
In an area shrouded in green lights.
Beams of lights and shadows crossed the area. Five-stars and six-stars were checking it out. In the end, they finally found out what the so-called fortuitous encounter was exactly!
It was the restoration of a sect from a thousand years ago!
They had seen all the legacies of this sect!
And the treasures!
In front of an attic.
In the bush beside the stairs, there was actually a stalk of millennium Star Ocean Grass. When someone discovered it, it caused a great commotion and a huge battle instantly erupted!
People began to search the surroundings.
However...
They could not find even a few more stalks after searching the entire sect!
“It’s a pity.”
Some people felt regretful.
Yes.
It was such a pity.
Because the Restart Array had been interrupted, the sect was only partially restored and most of the restored items were buildings. Almost all the rest of the restoration had been interrupted.
If that was not the case...
Perhaps there would have been an entire patch of divine grass?!
...
At this very moment...
Lu Ming was walking with Xiaobai.
One step, the streets of the downtown area.
Another step, the sect that existed a thousand years ago.
This kind of experience...
It was very strange and mysterious.
“One, two...”
Xiaobai counted her footsteps seriously, as if she was playing hopscotch.
Silly girl...
Lu Ming touched her little head.
Bang!
Bang!
At a distance, people were fighting.
Lu Ming took a glance and did not get himself involved. No matter how precious the millennium herb was, it was not the time to join in the fun. Right now, clarifying the cause and effect were the most important things to do!
For example—
What exactly was this sect trying to achieve?!
After all, if they were to go according to the initial plan...
If the sect was to resurrect completely...
What is their motive?!
Those people are not fools. Would they go through a lot of trouble for the resurrection just to end up gifting to others? Impossible. They planned this for a thousand years. It must be for their own sake! Therefore, even if those outsiders have some fortuitous encounters, the greatest beneficiaries were the people from their own sect!
But how did they ensure that they would survive for a thousand years?
Especially...
Leaving behind those special blood sacrifices?
Look.
All the men in black were dead!
Your legacy has already been cut off. Even if you resurrect, you will become an instance dungeon for others!
Unless...
Shush!
Lu Ming suddenly raised his head.
“Zzz—”
The attic of Breeze Pavilion suddenly opened.
A teenager who was clad in ancient clothing pushed open the door and cast a curious look at Lu Ming and then Xiaobai. He instantly gave a faint smile.
“The two of you, are you disciples who are here for the assessment?”
...
Shush!
Lu Ming’s eyes widened suddenly.
He spoke...
Damn!
The teenager actually spoke!
The teenager who walked out from the Breeze Pavilion. That getup, that look. Clearly, he was a disciple of this sect from a thousand years ago! And now... He was actually alive!!!
In that case, the Restart Array not only restored the buildings but also the people!
This sect...
The original cultivators!!!
Shush!
There was silence in the entire sect immediately.
Even those cultivators who were fighting were stupefied.
They had initially thought that this was a legacy site. As usual, everyone would dash in to compete and the victor would prevail. However, to everyone’s surprise...
There was actually someone from this sect!
Furthermore, this was a living being!
