Wisdom of Mortals and Being Set Up (Fourth Update)

"Go!"

The moment Fang Yu finished speaking, the Flying Thunder God Mark flashed!

Li Yingqi felt her vision blur, and the scene before her changed instantly.

When she looked back, the people standing behind her were actually several outsiders who had previously joined the mountain sect!

"Central Continent Captain, what are you doing running to Emei?!" Ah Xing gritted his teeth in anger. The Flying Thunder God kunai in his hand still glowed faintly, and his expression seemed to say, Don’t cause trouble.

Fang Yu said nothing at all as his figure vanished.

Li Yingqi understood what Fang Yu meant and immediately ran toward her room.

The Atlantis Team was dumbfounded.

No matter how stupid they were, they could tell that the relationship between those two was far from ordinary.

"Ahahaha, who would’ve thought the Central Continent Captain was such a romantic? He actually got together with the Emei Sect’s Senior Sister. She’s a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse and the wielder of the Heavenly Strike Sword. Maybe she’ll even become the Emei Sect’s Sect Leader someday! This is the meaning of dreams! As long as you believe in your dreams—"

Ah Xing interrupted Roger. "Enough dreaming. We need to consider what changes in the relationship between the Central Continent Team and the Emei Sect will mean for us! Don’t forget, our mission is—"

Torres coughed lightly. "Let’s go!"

Back in her room, Li Yingqi had just begun thinking about how to contact Fang Yu when he appeared directly inside.

"Ah!"

Li Yingqi cried out in fright and hurriedly covered her mouth. "You! You could at least announce yourself before coming!"

"I don’t care about any of that. Hurry up! Where is it?"

Before long, Li Yingqi took an ancient book with no cover, only contents, from a drawer.

"There! We agreed on this—if something goes wrong while you practice it, don’t blame me!"

Fang Yu nodded and put away the ancient book. "Right, I wanted to ask you something else. Those swords stuck all over Mount Emei—can someone like me pull them out and use them?"

Li Yingqi looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Without the Emei Cultivation Method, even if you took a sword, it would only be good as a fire poker."

Fang Yu thought for a moment. "Damn it, a thief doesn’t leave empty-handed. A fire poker is still a fire poker. They’re divine weapons, after all. I’ll take every last one of them!"

"Pfft!"

Li Yingqi was so angry that she laughed. Seeing Fang Yu about to leave, she hurriedly explained, "It’s useless. The swords themselves don’t have much power. What matters are the Sword Spirits—you can also call them Item Spirits. Those are the foundations that Emei relies on."

Fang Yu frowned deeply. "So even if I practice this, I still can’t take your Emei swords, right?"

Li Yingqi nodded. "That’s the idea. But you can forge your own. Of course, who you find to forge them has nothing to do with me."

"Cultivation is such a pain in the ass."

Fortunately, the Main God Space could sell Foundation Establishment Pills and other materials, so Fang Yu did not say much more. He put away the ancient book. "Then I’ll see you at the final battle. You have to use Twin Swords Combined, understand?"

For a moment, Li Yingqi did not know what to say. After thinking for a while, she took out an Ice Jade Pendant and handed it to Fang Yu. "My master gave me this when I first began practicing the sword. It can slightly improve physical recovery. It’s useless to me, so this…" Li Yingqi searched for the right words, but Fang Yu cut in before she could continue.

"Our grudges are settled."

"Hmph!" Li Yingqi shoved the jade pendant at Fang Yu, turned around, and stopped speaking. She felt a faint breeze brush past her from behind. When she turned back again, Fang Yu had already left using Flying Thunder God.

"Has he left?" Li Yingqi suddenly looked a little lonely. Even she did not know why, and could only blame it all on Crimson Corpse absorbing her primordial spirit.

As for romantic feelings between a man and a woman?

"Love my ass!"

Within the Central Continent Team, Fang Yu cursed at the teammates who were trying to spectate. "There’s no love in Reincarnation Worlds, much less for me—I was forced into it! If there weren’t benefits in it for me, I wouldn’t even bother with that woman! She looks like she’s about to cosplay a female nurse—seemingly pure, but actually seductive."

Zhang Heng spoke weakly. "Isn’t that the actress’s problem? At least her character setting in this world shouldn’t be like that, right?"

Ming Yanwei’s laughter came from the side. "Oh? It seems our veteran archer has watched that kind of thing before? You sound pretty familiar with it!"

Zhang Heng now only wanted to avoid Ming Yanwei. He gave a foolish chuckle and hid behind Zheng Zha.

The more one paid attention to time, the slower it seemed to pass.

Ten days went by. Fang Yu failed to make sense of the ancient book, and he had waited so long that he was tempted to use Flying Thunder God to return to the Blood Cave and check on things. Yet there was still no movement from Shushan.

Seeing that Fang Yu was becoming restless, Xiao Honglü said, "If Bai Mei does not leave voluntarily, this world’s main storyline cannot proceed. The Atlantis Team is also waiting for Bai Mei Ascends. If he does not ascend, Xuantian Sect cannot be killed."

Fang Yu calmed down. "Fine, fine. I’ll just treat it as free extra cultivation time in a world rich with spiritual energy."

As he said this, Fang Yu slapped his thigh. "No, wait! Once this reincarnation ends, I’ll definitely have to return to the Shushan Plane to continue cultivating. Whether it’s Sage Mode or something else, if my relationship with Shushan turns bad, I won’t be able to get anywhere when I return! I remember that the Shushan Plane has more than just Bai Mei as an expert—there are others! In this movie’s plot, those experts should be hiding, just as I thought at the beginning. Bai Mei is training successors, so the other experts haven’t made any moves. But once the plot ends, if all those people show up and I get labeled an Evil Cultivator…"

Xiao Honglü’s expression turned equally grim. "I just thought of that too. But there’s no way around it. We appeared at Nether Spring Blood Demon’s lair from the start. We can’t wash that clean."

As they spoke, they suddenly felt a force of righteous energy vanish from between heaven and earth!

Even the temperature around them dropped considerably!

At the same time, a message arrived from the Atlantis Team!

Bai Mei ascended! Xuantian Sect became the Emei Sect Leader! Xuantian Sect plans to awaken the power of "rebirth" tomorrow. His Dao Heart may very well shatter and kill him, but our mission is to kill him, not let him commit suicide! So tomorrow—

After a moment of silence, Xiao Honglü replied through the Atlantis Team’s Mind Chain, "Since our last parting, our captain has suffered severe injuries. Crimson Corpse planted a parasite inside him, and he cannot exert much Combat Power."

After replying, Ah Xing and Xiao Honglü spoke in unison to their captain. "They’re setting us up."

Xiao Honglü pinched his chin. "The Atlantis Team previously said they had a method to forcibly leave the current world, but they have never revealed what it is. I think they definitely have bad intentions."

"What method could it be? F-rank Authority, obviously. But even if they leave, F-rank Authority can’t take us with them. And I don’t think the Atlantis Team is kind enough to let us use an F-rank Authority."

"No, they already used one F-rank Authority to come to the Legend of Mount Shu world. Do they have any left? To obtain one F-rank Authority, Chu Xuan practically wrecked the Resident Evil world."

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes in thought, while Xiao Honglü suddenly looked up.

"Captain! You mean—"

Fang Yu nodded. "Yeah. It’s practically certain now. Those bastards may never have told the truth at all!"

Xiao Honglü took out a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, his CPU running at high speed. "Most of the information they gave us at the start should have been true. But why are they lying now? Let me think, let me think. Where could they have tampered with things…"

Suddenly, Xiao Honglü raised his head. "I’ve thought of a possibility that would be worst for us! This is bad! We have to leave! Captain, have you marked any other locations in this world with Flying Thunder God? It can’t be the Blood Cave! And it definitely can’t be near the Atlantis Team!"
