Chapter 1724 - 1032: Blast Stone!

"Assuming she has no cultivation level, the only reason a person without cultivation could obtain Mysterious Evil would be due to family reasons. A family that collects Mysterious Evil must at least be a first-rate family or have a Star Fall level expert in the household. Furthermore, to approach a cunning and sinister person like Greedy Wolf Star, one can only capture him when he’s most unguarded—Greedy Wolf Star is lustful; hence the peerless dance of Seductive Tower’s Xiao Yao, and given the situation at that time, he wouldn’t think she was intending to poison him... A woman, a woman without cultivation, besides her beauty, would certainly not be considered by Greedy Wolf Star."

After a pause, Sui Yi added, "But if it’s not due to family hatred, hardly any woman would be willing to sell her most precious purity."

"A household with Starfall, family hatred, literate and good at dancing, unrecognized... there is now a very obvious candidate—Xing Yuanqing from Starshine."

Yan Jingan understood this world better than Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan, so she guessed it right away.

Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan were suddenly enlightened.

As they passed by Starshine, they vaguely heard some passengers mentioning Starshine’s power struggle.

They simply did not expect that Xing Yuanqing, who was not long ago exiled and whose life or death was unknown, would take the risk alone to poison Greedy Wolf Star.

Sui Yi recounted his experiences on the train, "I wondered why I felt she recognized me that day at the Seductive Tower; probably it wasn’t just her brother, Xing Yuanye, on the train at that time, but also her. Xing Yuanye entering the Dark Forest was merely to draw away all the pursuers so she could escape safely..."

This pair of siblings really are...

Not decent folks.

"But what we can guess, I’m afraid many forces in Purple Sky and even those around Greedy Wolf Star can also figure out, so Xing Yuanqing... I’m really puzzled how she managed to escape Greedy Wolf Star’s residence after poisoning him... unless someone was helping her behind the scenes."

Who could it be?

Shi Qingxuan frowned, "Her brother?"

She doesn’t believe a brother would let his sister sacrifice herself like that for revenge.

Otherwise, it might be putting the cart before the horse.

But hatred is something like when a person drinks water—only they know its warmth or coldness. Just like when she was a child, she also suspected her mother’s death, which incited a desire for revenge, willing to give up anything back then.

"Who knows, maybe it’s a third force... for instance, someone from the Dragon Faction... or an internal conflict within the Ape Faction... Anyway, tomorrow the Ape Faction will certainly trouble the Dragon Faction and demand the Dragon Emperor hand over Xing Yuanye."

Sui Yi looked out the window and said lightly, "So maybe all of this is just preparation for the Dragon and Ape Sects to go to war."

At that moment, inside the Ape Connect Tower....

Crown Prince Jing Sha can’t actually control Jing Yuan because his parents pamper her. To control her, he’d have to talk to their parents.

However, their father is too busy and often not at home, leaving only their mother to rely on...

After hearing this, the Ape Queen glanced at Jing Sha.

"Hmm, got it..."

"Mother..."

"Well, let them fight. A master like Greedy Wolf Star can’t raise dogs with two different temperaments... Sha, you must understand, some dogs, it doesn’t matter if you beat them; what’s important is that they know fear, know who the master is. If every time you muddle through like today and publicly embarrass your sister for a dog that can never be loyal... then the emperor’s throne is not for you."

If Greedy Wolf Star’s behavior were exposed before the Ape Emperor, he’d be dead long ago. The reason he’s not is that he’s smart and knows who not to offend. But perhaps Crown Prince Jing Sha underestimated the value of his own identity—he also reduced the prestige the Ape Connect Tower should have.

Jing Sha contemplated for a while before nodding, "I understand, Sha."

In fact, Jing Yuan was helping him.

But he was wrong.

It won’t happen again.

"You may go... oh, and try harder to court Ah Lih.... I’m still waiting to become in-laws with her sister."

For some reason, Jing Sha felt a chill through his entire body when he saw the seductive smile on the Ape Queen’s face.

His mother was never a decent person.

Asking him to pursue Yin Li... was to upset the Dragon Queen.

Sneakily wicked,

——————

Far beyond the Star Domain, in the Rose Jade World.

Gu Sansi is the type to be wholeheartedly devoted to helping Sui Yi but would also let go readily. In this foreign space, she is wholly invested in the Small Fragmented Jade World that hasn’t yet been exploited by any forces. It is said that this world is truly tiny, over a hundred times smaller than Earth. It appears barren on the surface, but the resources underground are rich, enough that on the first day, it felt like they were hit by a windfall.

"These are all Red Agates, energy gemstones. Coupled with other energy ore materials, just the amount we’ve mined in these few days is already enough for us to safely reach Cloud Ascendant and beyond, not to mention there is still a very large portion that belongs to potions and special materials."

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon have always loved adventure and treasure hunting. Ahead of them was indeed a giant stone planet, so their enthusiasm was sky-high. For instance, the latter even forgot to flirt with the beauties present.

However, a month ago, they probably didn’t foresee being on Earth, masters in their own right, would now be...

"I thought when Gong Jiu left Earth and ventured into the universe, I’d become world-renowned, yet here I am wielding a mining pickaxe digging for ore..."

Wearing a special helmet and work clothes, Gong Jiu, covered in black grime, stood up with emotion and delivered this speech, drawing laughter from others. Casting a glance around, he continued, "But seeing the sect leader of the Gate and the Boss Wei of the Imperial Guards dig beside me makes me feel balanced, haha."

The final two "ha-ha"s were the highlight, making Shun and Bai Yu almost want to bash this ever-so-mouthy idiot with their mining tools over the past few days.

But look at us, we really do look like miners, all disheveled. There’s really nothing to complain about this process because as we dig, we’re also absorbing the energy. Our strength is skyrocketing, like getting addicted to some kind of... substance. The thrill is indescribable, that’s the allure of cultivation, and also the allure of gaining power.

"Gong Jiu, ever since you broke through the void two days ago, you’ve been acting all cocky. From what I know about you, you’ll usually face some backlash soon."

At some point, Yhan Qingwu joined the roast group with Gong Jiu and Flower Demon. She wisely teamed up with Flower Demon to roast Idiot Gong. Why? Because this guy is clueless!

Too many roast-worthy points!

"Get lost, Qing Wu, don’t talk nonsense. I’m wise and mighty, stepping on seven stars, there’s no way I’ll be that unlucky. Just wait, I’ll get you the best gemstone right away."

Yhan Qingwu calmly replied, "Dowry?"

"No, coming-of-age gift."

Way past 18 already, where would a coming-of-age gift come from? But everyone quickly got it.

There’s another kind of coming-of-age ceremony called—from a girl to a woman.

Sleazy smile, sleazy tone, sleazy intention, and this sleaziness deserves full marks.

Yhan Qingwu was speechless but indeed saw Gong Jiu swing his hoe...

"Watch out!"

In the distance, Su Zimu, who was in charge of recording gains and surveying the area, turned pale, while Gu Sansi reached out, a shield of void force blocked, yet the fiery red stone was like a mini-nuke shooting towards Gong Jiu’s heart...

Bang!

Gong Jiu fell with a crash.

Everyone rushed over, the closest, Flower Demon, had a pale face, hand pressed on Gong Jiu’s chest...

No blood, still beating!

Great!

No time to rejoice, smack! A slap on her hand, Gong Jiu raised his head, gasping and glaring at her, "Even taking advantage of me, are you that desperate?"

Flower Demon’s heart relaxed, but she rolled her eyes and scoffed, "With your tiny buns? Still the little buns from Wangzai? Would I even be interested?"

The two were about to start a squabble when Gu Sansi picked up the fiery red stone on the ground, with a layer of special void force wrapped around her palm, examining it closely, then her expression turned unreadable.

"I’m afraid we have to leave here now."

What?

Everyone was shocked!

"Do you know there’s a kind of ore in this world called blast stone? Blast stones, naturally explosive energy minerals, are the kind that cannot be absorbed, and as soon as they receive an energy shock exceeding a certain amplitude, they’ll detonate. A single small blast stone can kill a void breaker directly, and most blast stones exist in veins. If one explodes, the entire vein does. Even if we’re all Cloud Ascendant here, we’d all be dead. We were lucky just now that we didn’t use energy to mine, so it hasn’t exploded, only got a slight impact to jump up..."

So, they’re right in the midst of a huge terrifying blast stone vein?

Everyone had a bit of cold sweat on their foreheads.

Death is a stone’s throw away.

"So, we have to give up this planet?" Shun wasn’t feeling unwilling or reluctant, just wanted to ask for clarity.

"Give up?" Gu Sansi smirked, "I mean, we have to leave this small exposed blast stone area... but not leave here forever. On the contrary, we might have to stay for a long time."

Why?

"Actually, I started suspecting a few days ago. This planet isn’t undiscovered but already found and transformed into a forbidden area."

She turned the blast stone in her hand, her gaze deep, "There’s a custom in the Main World—using blast stones to build a deadly protective belt outside of tombs or treasure sites, known only to the owner. Any intruder sets off the blast stones, ends up dead!"

Between her fingers danced special and weird light spots, smiling towards everyone.

"I’m sure there’s a relic from the Main World beyond it, and if it ignores such a large-scale vein yet uses blast stones for protection... this relic must be huge."

So, they have to stay longer.

A relic.

Both the Dragon and Ape Sects would go mad for it.

The dozen or so people present exchanged looks and ultimately smiled.

——This matter must be reported to that person.

————————

When Sui Yi learned of this, she didn’t show much expression change, nor was she in a hurry, nor did she instruct Gu Sansi on what to do. Because Gu Sansi would certainly know what to do, including how to explore and map out the blast stone area.

She only gave one reply.

"I’ll make a trip there in a month."
