CHAPTER 326: CHAPTER 326: CLOUD SKY TERRITORY

Lou Yan Zhi pointed at the five people hiding on Tongyuan Star: "You’re from Tower City Star, aren’t you?"

"What are you hiding for? You dare sell people but don’t dare to admit it?"

"I remember all five of you!" Lou Yan Zhi said sternly, "You five were the ones who transported me to Gulang Star!"

"No problem, we’ll settle our scores slowly in the Cloud World." Lou Yan Zhi warned.

"Before settling accounts with others, why not settle your own first?" a team member from Fuliang Star cast a cold glance at Lou Yan Zhi.

"How about settling accounts with me too," someone from Zhouxi Star also looked at Lou Yan Zhi with ill intent.

There were four planets present, each with twelve team members.

And Lou Yan Zhi had twenty enemies.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Jiu quickly pulled Xiao Jinsheng and distanced themselves from Lou Yan Zhi, explaining to the others, "We are not familiar with Lou here."

Other Beast Husbands followed Xiao Jinsheng wherever she went.

Soon Lou Yan Zhi was isolated on Marriott Star by his 11 team members.

Fuliang Star and Zhouxi Star were even more schadenfreude: "Oh, isn’t this our Lou Yan Zhi who claims to be a sword cultivator known for killing heaven and earth."

"What’s the matter? Bad social skills, even your teammates don’t like you?"

"Haven’t been beaten for years, feeling itchy?" Lou Yan Zhi arrogantly responded while summoning the heavy sword.

At the sight of the heavy sword, everyone’s face changed.

They were more familiar with the heavy sword than with Lou Yan Zhi.

There were twenty enemies here.

At least twelve of them had been hit by Lou Yan Zhi’s heavy sword.

"Not wasting words with you, the grudge will be settled once the competition starts." Fuliang Star and Zhouxi Star threatened harshly.

Before opening the passage to the Cloud World, Wan Hanchuan still anxiously reminded Lou Yan Zhi: "Mr. Lou, you must come back alive. I didn’t expect so many people from the other three planets to hold a grudge against you."

"Used to it." At this moment, Lou Yan Zhi had a slight sense of detachment.

After all, he had many enemies in the Exile Star Domain.

This time, encountering only twenty felt light to him.

Soon, in the Cloud World, under the combined efforts of the four realm masters led by Marriott Star, a gust of wind swept up the four star teams standing in front, hurling them into the Cloud World.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Oooooooo——

Just after entering the Cloud World, the sight was filled with swirling clouds and fog.

And the howling wind.

Everyone lay on the soft cloud mist, feeling an uncomfortable sense of suspension.

Wherever they rolled, it felt like sinking into the earth, like lying in quicksand.

Only Xiao Jinsheng was used to this.

She quickly steadied herself on the cloud mist.

The only other person moving freely on the cloud mist was Que Zelian.

Taking advantage of the other teams still rolling and crawling in the cloud mist, Xiao Jinsheng quickly pulled up all her Beast Husbands.

When it came to Lou Yan Zhi, just as Xiao Jinsheng reached out, a swirl of cloud mist lifted Lou Yan Zhi.

Lou Yan Zhi watched as the cloud mist dissipated from him, then looked at Que Zelian who had violently raised him, smiling with false friendliness: "Don’t think flattering me means I won’t count your ambush against you!"

"At the end of this competition, all of Dong Quan will have to wait for me!"

"Let’s see if I won’t deal with you then!"

"Big talker, can you shut up?" Xiao Jinsheng impatiently said: "Can you at least act like a team captain? Aside from big talk, what else can you do?"

"Can you even be a captain?"

"If you can’t, hurry up and step down."

"Don’t push me to deal with you." Xiao Jinsheng pointed at Lou Yan Zhi, warning with a cold face.

Everyone else still crawling in the cloud mist paused, hearing the inner conflict as soon as Marriott Star entered, they quickly stopped to watch the spectacle.

"Want to be captain?" Lou Yan Zhi sneered: "Dream on, better go home and dream."

"Oh really?" Xiao Jinsheng was in a temper too.

She raised her hand for a gesture.

Apart from her and Lou Yan Zhi, there were ten team members.

They all moved behind her in unison, indicating their choice with action.

"You’re a captain, and I’m also a captain." Xiao Jinsheng smiled smugly: "Who can command the team members depends on their ability."

"Just wait!" Lou Yan Zhi fumed: "At the end of the competition, I’ll report everything you did to the Realm Master."

"Big talker, shut up." Xiao Jinsheng scoffed.

"Fight, fight, argue, argue." Seeing the internal conflict on Marriott Star, someone couldn’t help but mutter.

What they got in return was a cold stare from Lou Yan Zhi.

Soon, everyone discovered that the Cloud World was like a gaseous planet.

At least in the current area they could explore, that was the case.

No matter how they walked or crawled.

They couldn’t leave this cloud-covered place.

Until...

Xiao Jinsheng took out a lamp.

She opened the Fog Dispersing Lamp from the Mist Continent, which hadn’t been used for a long time.

The ten-meter radius of cloud mist surrounding her immediately cleared.

But only she, being bound to the Fog Dispersing Lamp, could see the illuminated area.

Under the curious gaze of members from the other three planets.

The ten team members she led also took out Fog Dispersing Lamps.

These were unclaimed items left by the Terminal on Cloud Island, not taken away in time.

Xiao Jinsheng simply took them all, hanging them on the Star System Map to exchange with people from Mist Continent.

Even cracking the manufacturing blueprints, now handed off to the little Demons for production.

The Fog Dispersing Lamp illuminated a ten-meter area of cloud mist, but only the lamp holder could see it.

While everyone was puzzled.

They heard a broken mechanical voice.

The voice sounded aged.

The sound felt very old.

[Welcome to the Cloud World]

Just the opening greeting made Xiao Jinsheng feel inexplicably familiar.

[This is the Cloud Sky territory]

[Identifying Identity Key]

The Identity Key of the Cloud World had already been explained to Xiao Jinsheng and the others by Marriott Star.

When they discovered the Cloud World, they found there were only four Keys.

Each Key could lead a team of twelve.

Exactly matching the number of participants.

[Identity Key recognized successfully]

[Welcome, contestants]

[The winner of the competition will receive supreme resources from the Cloud World]

[Now announcing the competition rules: Cloud Ladder Race]

[The first team to reach the endpoint wins first place]

[Everyone has three chances for resurrection]

[Each resurrection requires offering one’s resources, limbs, soul, or any valuable items, to exchange for a resurrection chance, a maximum of 3 resurrections]

[Danger Tip: After 3 resurrections, dying again means real death]

[Competition Tip: You are not the first contestants, nor may you be the last; there are 50 teams before you still in the competition]

[Important Reminder: Each team of 12 must ensure all surviving members reach the endpoint, truly deceased members do not count against the quota]

[Warm Reminder: You have one last chance to exit the competition; teams with fewer than 12 members can offer materials equivalent to the team’s average strength to offset the requirement for 12 participants]

[All contestants should prepare, the competition starts in three minutes]

After hearing the competition rules, everyone stood in silence.

Before the three minutes were up, the five people from Tower City Star, who had been avoiding Lou Yan Zhi, proposed withdrawing from the competition.

The rules just sounded deadly.

They dared not stay.
