1272 It’s Too Early to Be Pleased (2)

After an unknown period of time, everyone in the courtyard stopped what they were doing almost at the same time.

“Brother Xu, we’re done!” said one of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom experts invited by Xu Tongda.

When Zhou Shu and Xu Tongda arrived, there were already seven experts in the courtyard.

The cultivation levels of these seven experts of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom were not inferior to those of the Golden Dragon Guards. One of them was slightly stronger than ordinary Grotto-Heaven Masters, but he was not at the Nomological realm.

If these people were placed in the ancestral land, they could be called invincible.

But in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, they could only be considered experts.

“Great!” Xu Tongda said. “Everyone, you’ve worked hard. If we can succeed this time, everyone deserves the credit!”

He laughed. “After Brother Sun is done refining, we will be able to lock onto the location of the remnant of the Heavenly Court. At that time, everyone will be able to improve further after obtaining the bounty from the Golden Dragon Guards.”

Xu Tongda’s words made everyone excited.

“Thank you, Brother Xu, for your guidance.”

Everyone spoke one after another.

The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly, and his smile was a little mocking. But these people didn’t notice his smile.

After a while, Zhou Shu stopped and cupped his hands. “Brother Xu, everyone, I didn’t disappoint you.”

“Haha!” Xu Tongda laughed. “That’s great. I knew it. Brother Sun, you’re not an ordinary person. You refined the secret treasure so quickly.”

Xu Tongda’s praise made the others slightly dissatisfied.

There was no first place in literature, and there was no second place in martial arts[1]. Zhou Shu even heard two people snort coldly.

He didn’t mind and only looked at them sympathetically.

These people were really helping to count the money after being sold[2].

If the intelligence level of the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom were all as such, there was nothing to be afraid of.

But it was obviously impossible. Xu Tongda was not a good person.

“Since Brother Sun has completed the refinement, let’s begin. Please cooperate with me,” Xu Tongda said straightforwardly.

Everyone nodded. This was their goal, so they naturally didn’t want to delay any longer.

Zhou Shu nodded. “Please, Brother Xu.”

Xu Tongda shouted, and the secret treasure in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

At the same time, Zhou Shu and the others began to send spiritual essence into the secret treasures they had refined.

Buzz—

The nine secret treasures flew up at the same time and circled in the air for a moment before combining into a secret treasure with a bang.

From the outside, the secret treasure looked very much like a compass.

The mirror armor that Zhou Shu had refined was at the center of the compass.

The circular saber that Xu Tongda had refined was floating in the middle of the compass and spinning rapidly.

Huff—

Everyone’s breathing became heavy.

It wasn’t because they were excited but because their spiritual essence was flowing out too quickly, almost like a flood.

Even with their cultivation, they felt that it was a little difficult to hold on.

Fortunately, this process didn’t last long.

The compass shone brightly, and the circular saber spun faster and faster.

In the end, a saber beam suddenly slashed in a direction.

Everyone felt their bodies go limp at the same time and almost fell to the floor.

“Found him!” Xu Tongda said excitedly.

Hearing this, everyone looked happy.

Fortunately, everyone’s efforts were not in vain. After all the hard work, they finally found the remnant of the Heavenly Court!

“Brother Xu, activating this secret treasure of yours consumes too much spiritual essence. If we really find the remnant of the Heavenly Court, can we use it to fight him?” a Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom expert asked.

The seven people Xu Tongda had invited were not fools.

The process of activating the secret treasure made them suspicious.

Just activating the secret treasures to find the person had exhausted most of their spiritual essence. What if they had to fight the enemy?

“Don’t worry. If we really fight, we don’t need to consume so much energy. This is only the first time we’ve activated the secret treasure, so the consumption of spiritual essence is a little higher.

“When we get used to it, there won’t be this problem next time.”

Xu Tongda was spouting nonsense, but the experts of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom actually believed him.

Indeed, ignorance was an illness that had to be treated.

Zhou Shu was an expert in forging, so he naturally didn’t believe Xu Tongda’s nonsense.

He also pretended to have consumed too much spiritual essence. “Brother Xu, where is the remnant of the Heavenly Court hiding?”

Zhou Shu was really curious. He was here. Who did Xu Tongda find?

“He’s not far from here, only a few hundred kilometers,” Xu Tongda said. “Everyone, recover your spiritual essence first before we take action!”

Xu Tongda was full of fighting spirit.

No one objected. Even if Xu Tongda didn’t say anything, they would recover first before taking action.

Two hours later, the group of nine people jumped out of the coral island.

In the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, there was no such thing as flying. As long as one’s strength could resist the pressure of the heavy water, they could move freely in the heavy water of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

Swimming was actually not much different from flying.

Zhou Shu was neither fast nor slow. Among the nine of them, he was neither the fastest nor the slowest.

There was almost no difference in their strength between the nine of them.

The few people who were originally hostile to him let their guard down.

These experts covered hundreds of kilometers in a moment.

Zhou Shu was originally wondering if he should ambush and kill these people if the remnant of the Heavenly Court that Xu Tongda had found were Wang Xuanyi, Zhang San, and the others.

But when they arrived at the destination, Zhou Shu didn’t see anyone.

“Brother Xu, is this the place?” A Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom expert asked the question in Zhou Shu’s heart.

It seemed that the others were also puzzled. There was clearly no one here.

“Yes, this is the place,” Xu Tongda said confidently. “The remnant of the Heavenly Court is extremely cunning. He will definitely not appear here openly.

“He must be hiding nearby. What we have to do now is force him out!

“Everyone, activate the secret treasures together and force him out!”

As Xu Tongda spoke, he took out his secret treasure.

Everyone hesitated for a moment before taking out their secret treasures.

The nine secret treasures fused into a compass again.

Xu Tongda shouted. Suddenly, rays of light visible to the naked eye fell from the compass.

These rays of light directly connected to the nine people.

The ray of light connecting Xu Tongda was especially thick.

In an instant, everyone felt the power in their bodies surge crazily toward the compass.

“Brother Xu, didn’t you say the consumption of spiritual essence would be less the second time? What’s going on?” A Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom expert’s expression changed. He wanted to sever the output of his spiritual essence, but he couldn’t.

A smile appeared on Xu Tongda’s face. “Everyone, if you want to obtain the bounty, how can you not pay a price?

“Don’t worry. It’ll be over soon.”

Xu Tongda laughed loudly, and the ray of light toward him suddenly became thicker.

Boom!

An expression of joy appeared on Xu Tongda’s face, as if he was enjoying something. His aura began to rise continuously, and he had the momentum of breaking through to the Nomological realm.

At this moment, no matter how stupid everyone was, they knew that they had fallen into Xu Tongda’s trap.

“You want to borrow our strength to break through to the Nomological realm?” The experts of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom were shocked and furious. They roared, “Xu Tongda, stop quickly! Otherwise, we won’t let you off!”

Xu Tongda laughed loudly. “Everyone, help me. After I succeed, I will definitely offer incense to you.”

Feeling the power flowing into his body, Xu Tongda felt as if he was about to sublimate.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the power flowing into his body stop. It was like a person who was about to climax suddenly being stopped. Xu Tongda almost vomited blood from the discomfort.

He looked ahead blankly, not knowing what was happening.
