Chapter 1131: The Tide is Turned
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If Chen Xiaobei returned to earth now, he would draw these bloodthirsty idiots take revenge on his friends and family. Only by escaping to Northern Wilderness Starfield where there were no cares at all, working tirelessly to increase his cultivation, that Chen Xiaobei would be able to have a chance to survive.
“Alright! I agree!”
Lu Kang had no other option.
If they p.i.s.sed Chen Xiaobei off, Lu Kang would die and Atlantis would be completely destroyed. They would all be sentenced to a horrible death.
Southern Town Star Temple was just one of the thousands of portals to Northern Wilderness Starfield!
The Lu Family was just one of the thousands of factions of Northern Wilderness Starfield!
If Atlantis was destroyed, the Lus would be severely punished by the Northern Wilderness Temple! And they would lose their positions as the custodians of the Southern Town Star Temple and might never be put into service by them!
Then the Lu Family would be ruined!
The thing about death that Lu Kang could not accept was becoming the person who causes his family’s d.a.m.nation. He understood the sobriety of the situation. There was no way he would refuse Chen Xiaobei.
“Let’s go then! All of you will walk in front of me and don’t turn around!”
“Alright! Let’s go!”
Lu Kang, now entirely obedient to Chen XIaobei, led his people ahead of Chen Xiaobei.
“Xiaobei…”
Demonic Fox looked worriedly in Chen Xiaobei’s direction.
“Don’t be afraid. We’ll talk about it when we get to there!” Chen Xiaobei soothed her using the Thousand Whispers Knot. “We have no chance on Earth but going to Northern Wilderness Starfield may be our lifeline!”
Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox were like two feeble lambs surrounded by vicious tigers. They would have to rid themselves of these tigers to be able to even have a chance of surviving! For now, he put the nuclear missile back into the Infinite s.p.a.ce Ring and then walked with Demonic Fox like cautious deer behind the group of men.
“I don’t think it’s that simple. That old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Tenshou and Lu Kang were whispering amongst themselves. They must be planning something…”
Demonic Fox told Chen Xiaobei in her heart.
“I saw that too…” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “But we have no choice, right now. We would have to play it by ear for now…”
“Xiaobei, if there’s an opening for you to escape, you must take it! Don’t worry about me!” Demonic Fox said earnestly. “My death would be insignificant. But you, you cannot die! You are my only hope for revenge!”
“Stop it! I will never let you die! I’m really close to Yanw.a.n.g! I will ask him to spare your life!”
“You’re just saying that…”
Demonic Fox frowned but she felt a warmth inside her.
The more Chen Xiaobei refused to give up on her, the more determined she was to sacrifice herself for him!
Demonic Fox said nothing else as she watched Tenshou and Lu Kang’s every move.
…
After a while, they reached the heart of the underwater city, where 30 meters tall altar stood. It looked very much like the one in the remnants of the underwater city, but much bigger and taller.
“You guys go ahead and open the portal.” Lu Kang instructed the two temple elders.
Lu Kang then turned around and said, “My friends, you can go to the top of the altar. After about half a minute, the portal will open.”
“The same rule applies. All of your people walk in front, no one is allowed to look back. You can only come down when we reached the top!” Chen Xiaobei said warily.
It was the only way to keep his enemies from pulling anything on them.
“Alright, let’s go!”
Lu Kang did not argue but led his people up the stairs.
Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox followed behind.
Very quickly, they reached the top of the altar.
The eye of the formation carved on the floor of the altar illuminated in a blue glow.
That was a sign that the portal was opened. It was gradually building up energy and would soon be able to teleport.
“You can all go down now! Don’t try anything stupid!” Chen Xiaobei instructed.
“Don’t worry, I won’t! Right now, I just want to send you off as quickly as I can!” Lu Kang said before turning to walk down the stairs.
“Alright, we’ll be out of danger’s way soon…”
Chen Xiaobei finally let out a sigh of relief.
It took only half a minute for the portal to be in operation.
That also meant that after they stepped into Northern Wilderness Starfield, Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox only had thirty seconds to run for their lives.
They would be able to go as far as ten kilometers away using the Somersault Cloud. That way, they would be safe.
“But I’m still worried…”
Demonic Fox furrowed her brows as she watched Tenshou and Lu Kang.
“You don’t have to keep watching them. They won’t take the risk.”
Chen Xiaobei was completely relaxed. They would be safe soon. Why would they look for trouble?
Buzz…
Suddenly, the blue glow dissipated. The energy in the portal stopped building.
“Hey Lu! What the h.e.l.l is this?”
Chen Xiaobei shouted.
“What is it? I didn’t do anything!”
Lu Kang turned around from the steps, looking at Chen Xiaobei with an innocent expression.
“The formation is not working! I warned you not to try and pull any tricks!”
“Not working? That can’t be right.”
“It may be due to insufficient supply of energy. It always happens. We have to keep adjusting! Don’t worry! It’ll come back soon! I wouldn’t dare provoke you…”
Lu Kang put on a sincere expression.
“No! He’s trying to distract Xiaobei!”
Demonic Fox’s danger intuition allowed her to identify the opponent’s motive.
Sure enough, as Chen Xiaobei was deep thoughts, mulling over whether or not Lu Kang was lying to him, he was oblivious of what was happening around him. Demonic Fox sensed that something was wrong, so she turned around and looked at Tenshou and Lu Kang.
She exclaimed, “s.h.i.+t! It’s Kagebuns.h.i.+n!”
Demonic Fox knew quite a lot about Ninjutsu. So when she was looking at Tenshou, she suddenly realized that Tenshou’s movement as he walked down the stops was a little off.
Instinctively, the first thing that came to her mind was Kagebuns.h.i.+n!
Instinctively, Demonic Fox stepped in front of Chen Xiaobei.
“Die, the both of you!”
Tenshou’s voice rang out of nowhere.
Then a blurry silhouette flashed before them. It was Tenshou himself!
He stood in front of Demonic Fox. A sharp True Kang Sword in his hand pointed toward her heart!
