Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1760: Chapter 1763: The Situation Takes Shape

At this moment, Xin Lifeng still didn’t know what was happening on Northwest Gourd Island and was trying to muster personnel to deal with Lu Xiaobu without affecting the current big picture.

There was a certain bitterness in his mouth.

With his constant pondering...

There was always a feeling of lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot.

There was even a sense of being calculated by that young man all the time.

If their plan could have been delayed a bit, they could have discovered Lu Xiaobu’s identity from the Demon Realm earlier; even without much confirmation, he could have reported directly to the Alliance Hierarch and then dispatched a powerful cultivator to kill him.

In this way, the current plan could even flow more smoothly.

However, now that the plan has launched, those powerful cultivators can no longer act freely.

Otherwise, it would provoke those already impatient reclusive powerful beings.

In the end, never mind killing Lu Xiaobu, the whole island would be in chaos!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but recall the meeting with Lu Xiaobu and that permanently nonchalant look in the young man’s eyes, as well as that ever so faint smile on his lips.

In hindsight, that smile was clearly that of an experienced hunter watching as his prey happily and slowly walks into a trap.

However, fortunately!

The opponent is still only at the Nascent Soul Stage, and the core is still in their hands, so they can solve it!

But, when he was mobilizing people, a doubt arose in his heart — why hadn’t any information come from West Melon Island?

It seemed normal for Lu Xiaobu to keep a tight watch over Southwest Huludao, but what about Northwest Gourd Island?

Did Zhu Huai think it unnecessary to report?

Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of anger.

If it were usual times, it might be acceptable, but now that he knew Lu Xiaobu’s identity, he was inexplicably filled with rage towards such negligence.

However, he couldn’t vent this anger, so he ignored it.

As for the removal of Northwest Gourd Island, it never crossed his mind.

Lu Xiaobu alone, even if he used some means to make several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from Hengqin City and Yuchi City utterly loyal to him, could not possibly take Northwest Gourd Island with just this force, it was simply nonsense.

Even if he truly went mad and took desperate measures, the news would definitely come through, not remain silent as it is now.

Thus, with this thought in mind, time slipped away quietly.

Three days later.

Xin Lifeng had almost gathered the necessary manpower.

This was already the limit to prevent any unrest below.

It even turned out a bit better than anticipated with an additional Out-of-Body Stage participant.

Four Out-of-Body Stage cultivators and sixteen Nascent Soul Stage cultivators make up the entire roster against Lu Xiaobu.

A highly regarded roster!

And at this moment.

”Report!”

A member of the God Slaying Alliance suddenly rushed in hurriedly.

The cultivator was covered in blood, with a weak breath, clearly in a severely injured state.

Seeing the person, Xin Lifeng’s face immediately changed, and he quickly asked, ”What happened?”

This was the last resort person he left on Northwest Gourd Island — late Nascent Soul Stage!

Not even Zhu Huai knew about him, only to be used as a hidden card.

But now, he had returned with serious injuries!

What happened on Northwest Gourd Island?

”Report to the Great Master! A riot broke out at the Ten Thousand Mountains, and thousands of demon beasts stormed into Northwest Gourd Island under the leadership of the Demon Clan and wreaked havoc! Chief Zhu Huai has already sacrificed, and the demon beasts are still rampaging!”

”I tried to return as quickly as possible to report, but found all the communication officers at Gourd Waist had been wiped out. I was also pursued and intercepted, barely making it back alive!”

The messenger, clutching his chest, reported with a sense of fear.

”What?!”

Xin Lifeng, always incredibly calm, slammed the table in disbelief at the messenger.

Then, he shattered the table in front of him with a slap, and with red eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, ”Lu Xiaobu!”

He already knew Lu Xiaobu had gone to the Ten Thousand Mountains, and hearing this, he understood!

He gritted his teeth until they creaked.

Previously, he thought Lu Xiaobu seemed different from previous Demon Realm people.

But now it seemed, exactly the same, exactly the same ruthless!

He actually incited the Demon Clan to come down from the mountains!

Hateful, infuriating, terrifying!

He wanted to roar, but he couldn’t say anything, only biting his teeth before telling the messenger, ”Go heal your wounds first!”

”Yes!”

The messenger left.

After he left, everything in Xin Lifeng’s room turned to powder under his fury!

What Xin Lifeng didn’t notice was that the messenger suddenly looked back at his room with a hint of guilt in his eyes!

He was indeed the messenger, and his message was indeed correct!

However, his reason for returning to report was not out of his own volition but under the direction of that Lord Lu.

Just like those people from Hu Nanshan, he was already a slave to that Lord!

Alas!

Better them than me, sorry everyone!

Meanwhile, as he walked, he took out some nail-sized items from his bosom and casually scattered them as he walked.

He didn’t know what these things were, only that Lord Lu asked him to scatter them.

Looking closely, he saw no spiritual energy fluctuation; they seemed like ordinary iron.

Yet, looking carefully, there were some intricate structures visible inside, which made him very puzzled about their purpose.

But after scattering them, he felt much more at ease.

After all, the current task was just this one; without the burden of the task, his vigilance and caution were greatly reduced. After all, Lord Lu said nothing would bind him for now.

In this way, he would almost never be exposed!

What he didn’t know was that these items were the latest research on spy robots.

Although currently useless, once a signal connected nearby one day, the intelligence collected by these spy robots would be transmitted to Lu Xiaobu in the shortest time.

By then, this so-called heavily guarded God Slaying Alliance would appear to Lu Xiaobu as a sieve full of holes.

Ah, using these high-tech means to bully these cultivators always felt a bit unsportsmanlike.

However, later on, these seemingly casually placed spy robots discovered some even more mysterious things, causing Lu Xiaobu to feel complex for a time.

Of course, that’s a story for later; the current situation has largely settled according to Lu Xiaobu’s plan.

Not only is his Demon Realm identity concealed, but a situation has also been formed where he, the God Slaying Alliance, and Northwest Gourd Island are divided into thirds.

In this way, the progress speed of many things would escalate once again!
