CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: REACHING THE NODE, PATIENT SCHEMING

However.

In truth, Su Qi wasn’t worried at all about these people spreading the news.

Firstly, he hadn’t revealed his true identity. Even if the members of the Blood Slaughter Organization were completely wiped out, Shang Kun would at most suspect that Long E and his people inadvertently offended some important figure.

In reality, the temptation of the New Dimensional Passage was too great. As a Twenty first level dominator, Shang Kun had immense competitiveness and would definitely not give up easily.

After moving a distance away, Su Qi took a different route, making a big circle to approach the location where the Dimensional Passage would open from another direction.

His explanation to Yun Jin was that it was to lower Shang Kun’s guard.

In fact, it was to allow time for the ability of the God’s Favored One to refresh.

Otherwise, with less than three minutes of the God’s Favored One state left, if he encountered Shang Kun, he would most likely have no choice but to run.

Overlord Level powerhouses are really hard to kill.

Even though they were both Control Level, Su Qi didn’t even need to activate the God’s Favored One state to easily kill the incoming enemies by spanning several minor stages.

But between Nineteenth Control Level and Twentieth Dominator Level,

there was only a one Tier difference, but the Life Level difference was substantial!

After hurrying for half a day, with the energy in the air becoming increasingly concentrated,

Su Qi knew that he wasn’t far from the location where the Dimensional Passage would open.

So.

The two of them set up camp on the spot and took a rest.

That night, Su Qi didn’t use the remaining three minutes of the God’s Favored One state to cultivate.

Because he felt that he was still quite a distance away from breaking through to Level Twenty, it was better to save it for emergencies.

Fortunately, the night passed without incident.

Now able to use fifteen minutes of the God’s Favored One state again, Su Qi felt an inexplicable sense of reassurance, his eyes firmly fixed on the direction where the energy was concentrating, a bold spirit rising within him.

Today.

He must permanently leave Shang Kun in the wilderness!

Moreover, he had to extract from Shang Kun the person behind the assassination task.

Otherwise.

Even if he returned to the Ninth District, he would forever feel uneasy.

...

Elsewhere.

The deep blue energy vortex in the shape of a door was almost solidified, indicating that the new Dimensional Passage was about to open.

Once it opened, all this concentrated energy would be absorbed, and the Dimensional Passage would be stabilized.

Around the Energy Node, the transcendent beings, each shimmering with divine light, continuously inhaled and exhaled various energies.

For a moment.

The energies intertwined, mist steaming, like a celestial paradise.

"Oh oh... Hmm~~"

A contented nasal sound emanated, causing all the onlookers to blush, cursing inwardly.

Qu Xiaoyao, that damned seductress!

If you’re going to cultivate, just cultivate properly. Making such strange sounds, aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood!

That said.

The rich energy truly made everyone feel comfortable and thrilled!

Cultivating here for one minute was equivalent to a week of hard practice on ordinary days!

It was just too satisfying!

However, there was one exception, and that was Shang Kun.

His face grim, a trace of anxiety showed.

Long E and his team had been gone for a whole day, and there was still no news.

With little time left before the Dimensional Passage opened, Shang Kun had already sensed several unfriendly gazes.

Damn it!

What on earth was Long E doing!?

He couldn’t have stumbled into some perilous place, could he?

Shang Kun frowned, clearly not considering the possibility of Long E encountering any accidents.

After all, with two Overlord Level powerhouses, in this range of wilderness, as long as they weren’t being reckless, they could almost walk unchallenged.

On nearby mountains, a large number of transcendent beings looked with envy at those close to the Energy Node.

Their location allowed for an unimaginable speed of cultivation.

Close to the Energy Node, how dense could it get!

Unfortunately.

They didn’t dare get too close.

Without sufficient strength, recklessly approaching might end up with them being blown away, which would be a minor embarrassment, but if a big shot saw them as an eyesore and struck them, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Like the difference between VIP and regular seats at a concert.

The ticket for this place was strength!

Before long.

Su Qi and another person also arrived here, choosing a hilltop to observe the situation.

The first thing that caught their eyes was naturally the almost tangible energy node.

Such magnificent energy, even if the dimensional passage formed isn’t permanent, it will probably last for quite a long time.

Meanwhile, Su Qi was contemplating.

If he could absorb all this massive energy, he wondered to what realm he might ascend.

Of course.

This was merely a thought.

Even though, in the state of God’s Favored One, his efficiency in absorbing energy was terribly impressive.

But he also knew.

His meridian strength might not withstand such a colossal influx of energy.

"Why are they here too?" Yun Jin seemed to spot familiar faces, instinctively pulling her hood down a bit.

"Friends?"

"Not quite friends, just people you can have a conversation with in the same circle," Yun Jin explained briefly, "That woman with wavy long hair is Qu Xiaoyao, an outstanding figure of the younger generation from the Qu Family, a Spiritual Element transcendent, Twentieth Level Overlord."

"She once tried to heal my heart ailment, and the man beside her is Xie Tianchen, a young genius from the Xie Family, also an Overlord level powerhouse."

"One ranks 98 on the Hidden Dragon List, the other ranks 76!"

Su Qi nodded. He had some understanding of the Ninth District’s Hidden Dragon List, which included truly potential talents who could potentially reach the Apostle Level in the future.

However, he didn’t pay much attention to these two, as Shang Kun was his primary target!

Even if he had to forgo the opportunity of the dimensional passage, this guy needed to be eliminated!

After just two or three seconds of observation, Shang Kun raised his head and looked over.

Su Qi ’casually’ diverted his gaze from Shang Kun, feeling a chill in his heart. It seemed that at the Overlord Level, the perception of malicious threats was indeed very keen.

"Don’t look over there." Su Qi reminded.

Yun Jin subtly nodded, not knowing what had happened.

But she knew listening to Su Qi’s arrangements would never go wrong.

"Accumulating a Holy Spear in the state of God’s Favored One can indeed pose a fatal threat to an Overlord level transcendent, but the distance seems somewhat insufficient..."

"Around the energy node, there are at least twenty or thirty Overlord level transcendents, and if I throw out a Holy Spear from here, it might cause misunderstanding and be intercepted by other Overlord level powerhouses."

"If I can’t directly cripple Shang Kun, Yun Jin and I might fall into danger!"

"What if... I went directly to face Shang Kun..."

Su Qi silently plotted in his heart.

A crazy plan continuously formed and validated in his mind.

At this moment.

A number of transcendents attracted by the energy fluctuations arrived gradually.

With more people, conflict was naturally unavoidable as everyone tried to take the best position.

On the path of the extraordinary, strength reigns supreme.

At this moment, it was fully showcased.

At the same time.

There was also a team of transcendents who fancied Su Qi’s spot and climbed up, very politely asking Su Qi to give up the position.

But each of them had eyes full of condescension.

Su Qi glanced at this group and headed towards the energy node with Yun Jin.

Focusing primarily on taking down Shang Kun, he was not willing to waste a single ounce of effort on these minor figures.

Seeing Su Qi being so sensible, one person among the group couldn’t help boasting, "Looks like our True Tiger Squad’s reputation is still quite formidable. Just mentioning our name scared them away."

"Those who know the situation are wise. These two have a bit of insight."

"Otherwise, if it really came to blows, they’d lose their spot and end up injured!"

Just when the True Tiger Squad was feeling full of themselves, they suddenly saw those two draped in white robes heading straight towards the energy node.

"Are they crazy?!"

"Could it be they think the energy is denser over there, so they just walked straight over..."

"Did we encounter a pair of idiots?!"

The transcendents of the True Tiger Squad simply couldn’t believe their eyes.

At this time.

A woman seemed to think of a possibility, and cautiously asked, "Could they be Overlord level powerhouses?"

As soon as she said this.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spine, taking a deep breath.

Fortunately, someone calmly analyzed, "Absolutely impossible, if these two were truly Overlord level powerhouses, they wouldn’t have lingered here for so long!"

After hearing this, the members of the True Tiger Squad finally sighed in relief.

Dammit.

Driving away Overlord level powerhouses, such a thing.

We wouldn’t even dare to think about it, let alone say it.

So, they couldn’t help but cast reproachful glances at the female team member.

The female team member quickly lowered her head guiltily, counting ants.
