Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Taking You... To a Place

As the cultivator’s shouts rang out, all the cultivators beneath the Heavenly Mechanism Tower immediately stood up tensely.

Suibai was coming for his routine inspection. If anyone was found not standing, it could enrage Suibai.

”What is Suibai?”

The Big Black Cat looked at all the surrounding cultivators, who had suddenly stood up. It felt somewhat out of place still sitting on the ground. It turned towards Mu Qing and hurriedly asked.

”Suibai is the most powerful and bizarre creature in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land...” Mu Qing’s expression turned solemn, and she hastily revealed all she knew about Suibai.

When the Big Black Cat heard that even cultivators at the Life and Death Realm could not withstand a single blow from Suibai, its expression changed dramatically, and it scrambled to its feet. The others also promptly stood up, staring nervously in the direction of the mist.

This Suibai was arguably the most powerful strange creature in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, so powerful that it was impossible to resist. Fortunately, Suibai possessed some wisdom and was not a wanton killer. Since their cultivation bases were not high, as long as they obediently stood still, they would generally not incite Suibai’s murderous intent.

”It’s strange. We just arrived at the ninth Heavenly Mechanism Tower. Why would Suibai come now?” a middle-aged man in the distance muttered to himself, frowning.

A cultivator beside him shook his head and said, ”Who knows? But I heard from a friend that Suibai appeared at the third Heavenly Mechanism Tower today. Now that Suibai has appeared at the ninth Heavenly Mechanism Tower, it might not be that strange after all!”

Everyone nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

The enigmatic Suibai could not be judged by conventional standards. It was said that Suibai had existed ever since the Nether Immortal Ancient Land first appeared. No one knew how many years he had lived. He was the most powerful humanoid strange creature in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land. Fortunately, Suibai did not wantonly slaughter innocents, completely different from strange creatures like the Shadow Crows and Ghost Moths.

BOOM! BOOM!

The sound of giant footsteps drew nearer, each step causing an earth-shaking vibration as it struck the ground. This sound seemed to fall heavily upon their hearts, making them feel anxious and uneasy.

WHOOSH.

The mist suddenly roiled.

A muscular giant covered in long black and red fur abruptly emerged, stepping into the silver light of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower. The tide-like silver light from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower washed over him but had no effect at all. It could not repel him in the slightest.

With Suibai’s appearance, the cultivators beneath the Heavenly Mechanism Tower became even more anxious. These cultivators were also seeing Suibai for the first time. Recalling the horrifying and bloody legends about him, they naturally trembled in fear.

Suibai stood on the ground and looked around. Suddenly, a flash of realization lit his wild, strange eyes. He strode towards a certain direction.

”Sect Master, it seems Suibai is coming right for us,” Mu Qing whispered. Her heart was racing, and sweat suddenly broke out on her palms.

”Hmm!” Luo Li’s delicate face was slightly cold as she looked at the massive figure, her eyes narrowing.

What does this Suibai want, coming straight for their small team? Could it be that it intends to attack the six of them? If Suibai were to make a move, Luo Li wasn’t confident she could handle him. After all, rumor had it that even cultivators in the Life and Death Realm could not withstand a single blow from Suibai. This indicated that Suibai’s strength might have already reached the Eternal Realm.

”Everyone, be careful. Don’t provoke this Suibai. As Mu Qing said, don’t move your bodies,” Su Wanyi whispered.

At this moment, without the Ancestor’s protection, they could only rely on themselves. Fortunately, this Suibai had his own rules; as long as they obediently remained still, nothing should happen.

Suibai walked up to Luo Li. His gaze first fell on Luo Li for a moment, then moved to Jun Moxiao and Su Wanyi.

「Meanwhile.」

The wisp of Ye Yun’s Primordial Spirit in Luo Li’s mind was also calmly observing this burly Suibai covered in long black and red fur.

This Suibai was over ten feet tall, far surpassing the height of a normal human. The black and red fur on him exuded a strange Super Divine Dragon Breath.

Could this Suibai have been a human in his past life? Now that his body is covered in red and black fur, it somewhat resembles the strange red fur formed by the Blood-colored Broken Sword of the Moon Star, Ye Yun’s gaze flickered as this thought crossed his mind.

However, the juniors were still undergoing their experiential training. As long as this Suibai did not make a move, he naturally would not act against Suibai. Therefore, Ye Yun took no action.

”It looks like those kids have caught Suibai’s attention,” a young man in the distance commented, eyeing them with a schadenfreude-filled expression. As soon as Suibai entered, he went straight for that group; his target was clear. It looked like it had nothing to do with them.

”I hope Suibai only targets those people and doesn’t come over here...” In another direction, a middle-aged man prayed inwardly. This sentiment was naturally shared by all the other cultivators present. None of them dared to face Suibai directly. After all, the sensation of Suibai carefully scanning everyone was deeply unsettling, almost as if they were passing through the Ghost Gate Pass.

”You... you all...” After staring at Luo Li and the others for a good few tens of seconds, Suibai’s long, fur-covered lips fluttered a couple of times as he mechanically uttered a few words. His voice was extremely hoarse and somewhat indistinct; it was difficult to make out unless one listened carefully.

The moment Suibai spoke, Mu Qing, standing to the side, stared in shock. According to legend, Suibai never spoke. Why, then, had the Suibai before her suddenly started talking?

Is it because of our Sect Master’s prestige in My Divine Dragon Sect? Has Suibai come specifically to pay his respects to the Sect Master? the Big Black Cat blinked, a peculiar thought forming in its mind.

”...” Luo Li, Jun Moxiao, and the others looked at each other, speechless.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Li’s heart surprisingly calmed. She asked softly, ”Suibai, our cultivation bases are not high. We shouldn’t have violated any rules, right?”

Suibai shook his head. His gaze fell upon Luo Li, and his expression became extremely complex. The sinister, eerie, and frenzied look in his eyes was suddenly replaced by a wave of dazedness.

”I... will take you... to a place...” Suibai spoke again, mechanically uttering a few more words.

Take us to a place?

This startled all six members of the team. Suibai, the most terrifying figure in the legends of the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, had not only refrained from troubling them but had also spoken, intending to lead them somewhere. This entire situation was simply too bizarre.

Hearing Suibai’s words, all the cultivators around the Heavenly Mechanism Tower were also plunged into immense shock.

Has Suibai gone mad? Why would he take these few people somewhere? What kind of place could it be? Why would he bring these six people?

”I know! Suibai probably wants to eat them,” a young man murmured.

”If he wanted to eat them, he would have done it already! Why would he need to take them somewhere? What kind of logic is that!” another young man nearby scoffed.

”Maybe Suibai wants to take them back for others to eat? After all, if he took them back to be eaten directly, they would be very fresh,” the first young man chuckled nonchalantly.

Although their conversation was quiet, many people around them heard it.

Suibai suddenly looked up towards the two, raised a finger, and pointed.

PUFF!

The bodies of the two young men instantly shuddered, then they exploded into two clouds of blood mist.
