Chapter 2759 - 59: Already Outside the Treasure Mountain, Why Not Enter? (Part 2)

"Why begin the feast when the dishes haven’t arrived?" This voice echoed from within a black lotus.

This black lotus appeared inside the secret chamber without anyone noticing and quickly expanded in size. Standing upright within the unfurled lotus petal was the fierce-faced Shujia Lan.

Descending with the Knowledge and Hearing Bell to Mo Yun City was Yang Yu, the new king on the Heavenly List from Ancient Nan Mountain, not some Bodhisattva or Arhat.

Shujia Lan possessed the courage to compete against him fully.

The information that needed to be passed on had already been sent out, and no organization in the world, including the Black Lotus Temple, feared him. In the same generation of Demon Kings, Shujia Lan didn’t have many to be worried about.

Little children can’t wield a thousand-pound hammer.

No matter how strong the Knowledge and Hearing Bell is, how much can Yang Yu use it? It’s not intimidating at all!

Not only not intimidating, there’s an opportunity to seize it and play with it.

...

In dreams, a loving mother’s tears faintly appear, while the mighty king’s flag shifts atop the city walls!

In the mystical Shenxiao secret chamber, one squad of monsters after another rushed in like a carousel in the night sky.

At the old residence of the Ape Family, Yuan Mengji increasingly felt uncomfortable: "Does the whole world know to prepare except for me, Yuan Mengji? Damn, I’m being targeted by alliances!"

Yuan Jiazheng could no longer drink his old wine.

Thinking of himself as an old ape hero, single-handedly carving out a space among Mo Yun City’s upper family circles, managing to firmly root his legacy, competing alongside the Yu Family and Dog Family. But alas, the hero’s twilight sets, and no demon comes in succession!

"Look at those from the Spider Family, Dog Family, Yu Family, each has an agenda, hiding intentions. Even Lu Qilang from the Divine Fragrance Flower Sea and Shujia Lan from the Black Lotus Temple have found paths! It’s just you who hasn’t an ounce of intelligence! A gathering of monsters at the Feiyun Tower banquet, and you’re truly just there to eat?" Yuan Jiazheng grew increasingly enraged, furrowing his brow and glaring angrily: "Is the family short of your mouth?"

Yuan Mengji protested with grievance: "Did I not also plan to deal with She Guyu?"

Yuan Jiazheng was stuck in his fury: "What about your mom thinking of She Guyu?"

He lifted his foot and kicked Yuan Mengji to the ground.

...

Lu Qilang and Shujia Lan appeared in succession.

Inside the Shenxiao secret chamber, Yu Xin’s face was increasingly grim. The chamber, empty moments before, now was crammed full... Everyone who could and couldn’t come was here besides Yuan Mengji. Why does it seem like everyone was hiding, just waiting for me to open the door?

This scene, mere coincidence could no longer explain.

Only careful plotting could be the answer.

This desirable morsel had been targeted without notice.

These treacherous little monsters! Shameless bandits!

"What does it mean when the dishes haven’t arrived?" Zhu Zheng, holding a lyre and still, asked Yu Xin’s underlying question.

Mantis stalks the cicada, and the yellow sparrow follows behind; Zhu Zheng as the sparrow was certainly satisfied. But with a cohort of sparrows alongside him, enjoyment was hard to come by... Now there’s only one mantis, but sparrows keep arriving one after another.

Still coming?

Will this never end?

How the heck did Yu Xin’s mom manage to keep this secret?

Might as well sell pancakes on the street, such a promoter!

Shujia Lan dismissed Zhu Zheng’s question with disdain and only cast his glance downward.

Even though he was within the Shenxiao secret chamber, his eyes could only see the silver-white tiles and couldn’t penetrate the tangible barrier. But he trusted that mysterious dog demon and the organization represented by the Peaceful Ghost Messenger must surely also be watching here.

He believed the self-righteous Peaceful Ghost Messenger would never refuse such a challenge.

Come, Peaceful Ghost Messenger, come to this Shenxiao Secret Cache. Set aside the influence of our respective organizations and let us determine the victor! Let me see if your blade is as sharp as your tongue!

Shujia Lan was not alone in this thought.

Seeing this situation, Lu Qilang also recalled the enigmatic and morally ambiguous Chai Asi. If he can first enter the Shenxiao Secret Cache, and that guy does something behind his back, it’s indeed a danger.

Thus, he too drew his sword and turned, lowering his gaze to the ground.

Come, Chai Asi, let me see who you truly are.

...

What are they looking at?

This was the common question among the monsters in Mo Yun City, who were observing the mirage of the Shenxiao secret chamber.

It was also the question amongst the other monsters within the Shenxiao secret chamber.

Awaiting them were Shujia Lan and Lu Qilang, thus preventing Yang Yu and others from proceeding. At the level of the new king of the Heavenly List, no one could stay standing with knives stabbing from behind.

Hence the Knowledge and Hearing Bell remained suspended under the Xue Yue, beneath the giant bell’s shadow in the phantom chamber of Shenxiao, the assembly of geniuses remained silent.

In the old residence of the Chai Family, Chai Asi and Pig Dali, of course, knew what Shujia Lan and the others were observing.

They clearly understood it was an invitation for competition at the Shenxiao Secret Cache.

But...

Really didn’t know how to go there!

No path, no door, no map provided. No idea how those little brats found their way.

Flying blindly upwards, reaching the point where the phantom can’t be entered, wouldn’t that just publicly reveal one’s failure, inviting ridicule from the citizens?

"You go first." Chai Asi maintained a constrained demeanor, gesturing with courtesy.

Whilst he wanted to partake in the Shenxiao Secret Cache, he trusted the Ancient God could easily get him inside. But since Madam Spider was also in town, he had to exercise patience. Perhaps bide his time for several years!

Now he only wished to follow the Ancient God’s guidance in leaving this place.

Once the darned Peaceful Ghost Messenger entered the Shenxiao Secret Cache, he would set out in haste to find Yuan Xiaoqing. A few days avoiding the tumult, a few days of tender sweetness. Let the storm rage, he revels in the changing tides. While they scramble for the Great Treasure, he embraces his lovely lady.

Among the group of monsters gathered tonight at the Chai old residence, Pig Dali should be the least intimidated by Chai Asi. This one found Chai Asi inscrutable, that one probed him with trepidation; was Chai Asi truly so fearsome?
