Even cultivators at the Limitless realm could not budge the altar in the slightest. Vacuum implosion bombs would likely be of no use against this peculiar altar either.
“Big brothers, what’s going on? Why hasn’t it opened yet? Are you guys capable or not?”
Tian Suanzi’s voice echoed from below again.
“Damn it, can you stop shouting? If you can do it, then come here! So many of us couldn’t even move this altar an inch.”
Wan Liuchuan retorted irritably.
“Where’s the captain? Where did the captain go? Hurry up and have him come up with a solution! You can’t abandon me, I’m a member of our Thunderstorm Squad too!”
“Stop shouting. The captain doesn’t care about your life or death at all. He’s looking for the ring.”
“The ring? That sounds so familiar. I think I heard the demons outside saying they found a ring that could greatly enhance power, something very powerful. Could that be the ring he’s looking for?”
Wan Lei zipped over, asking excitedly,
“Where is it? Which demon said that?”
Everyone’s brows furrowed. You pretended not to hear earlier, but now that the ring is mentioned, your ears are suddenly sharp.
“I don’t know, I just heard the demons talking about it. They said that holding it in your hand could greatly enhance your power, allowing you to challenge opponents of a higher realm.
If you want to find it, you can just turn over the demon corpses one by one.”
Upon hearing this, Wan Lei said to those around him,
“Let’s all search together. With more people, we can find it faster. The ring must still be on the demons. The evil spirits attacked the demons earlier, and in the face of such a battle, they had no reason not to use the ring. Of course, it’s also possible it fell on the ground. Let’s all search together.”
However, his words as captain had no effect whatsoever. None of the thirty-odd people present moved.
“We should be figuring out how to rescue Tian Suanzi, not searching for your damn ring,”
Wan Liuchuan directly retorted.
Wan Lei didn’t mind and laughed heartily,
“But we can’t do anything about this altar right now. You all heard it, just the ring alone can enhance a demon’s power to the point of challenging higher realms. If we find the ring, and then combine it with the demon pearl to form the complete Supreme Demonic Ring,
the power enhancement would certainly be much greater than just the ring alone, wouldn’t it?
Perhaps combining the Supreme Demonic Ring into one is the key to opening this world. After all, the most precious item in this world is that Supreme Demonic Ring, it must be the most crucial thing.
Therefore, whether it’s to save Tian Suanzi or to leave this place, we must find that ring.”
Wan Lei’s words made everyone look at each other. Finally, Bai Long Ao Lie said,
“Even though I know everything you’re saying is sophistry and you want to use us as free labor, I can’t find a way to refute it right now.
There are no good solutions at the moment, so we can only try our luck.”
Wan Lei was delighted and was about to speak when Ao Lie suddenly turned to Huo Feng,
“Miss Huo Feng, let’s search in that direction.”
“Uh… alright.”
“Xin’er, let’s search in that direction.”
Wan Liuchuan took Xin’er’s hand and flew off in another direction.
“Search carefully, don’t just focus on falling in love,”
Wan Lei shouted, about to pull Xiao Yu along with him, but Xiao Yu had already left with Qi Manyao.
“Alas, let’s search together,”
Ling Xin waved his hand, and his men immediately dispersed to search.
There were nearly ten thousand demon corpses here, covering an area of a hundred miles. They not only had to search the corpses but also pay attention to whether anything had fallen between the stones and rubble.
They even had to carefully search beneath the corpses, perhaps something was crushed underneath.
Everyone searched back and forth, spreading out like a vast net, searching from the central area outwards.
This was a meticulous task, with a huge workload. Everyone searched very seriously, as no one wanted to stay in such a place for their entire lives.
Soon, more than half a day had passed.
Fang Xiaoyu and Qi Manyao were initially excited, but after a long time of not finding anything, their enthusiasm gradually waned, and they became bored.
The two chatted intermittently.
“Man Yaoyao, your cultivation has progressed quite quickly these past years in the Five Elements Hall.”
“It hasn’t been that many years. After I came to the Five Elements Hall, I went into seclusion to cultivate. I haven’t been anywhere else, so I don’t know the Five Elements Hall as well as you do.
Ancestor Lei Di was very good to me, giving me resources and cultivation techniques. In two years, I broke through from the Nascent Soul realm to the Immortal realm.
I was still imprisoned when I broke through.”
“Then why didn’t you come to see me? Don’t you care about me? Don’t you love me anymore?”
Fang Xiaoyu said righteously.
Qi Manyao rolled her eyes and scoffed,
“Love your head! I didn’t know at the time. If I had known, I would have definitely come to mock you extensively.”
“Hmph, you bitch. I’ve been thinking about you every day all these years, but your heart is only for that scoundrel Wan Lei, and you have no room for me.”
“……”
Poor Man Yaoyao didn’t know how to respond. The relationships were too complicated, and her little head couldn’t process it all.
“Alas, you and Wan Lei have been together these past two days. Have you two lovebirds been affectionate?”
Fang Xiaoyu’s lips curved into a gentle smile, but there was a sharpness in her eyes.
“Are you sick? You two are the lovebirds.”
“What I mean is, you two have been reunited after a separation, a lone man and woman, like dry wood and fierce fire, didn’t you do anything?”
“Oh? Do you really want us to do something? Then you’ll probably be disappointed, Qian Niao has been following us the whole time.”
“Oh~ According to you, if Qian Niao wasn’t there, you would have gotten together? Humph, I knew it, you little slut, you’re definitely not honest!”
*Slap!*
Fang Xiaoyu slapped Qi Manyao’s perky butt.
At that moment, Qi Manyao was standing on a sharp rock. Perhaps she lost her footing or was caught off guard, or perhaps Fang Xiaoyu used too much force. Qi Manyao suddenly fell heavily to the ground, getting covered in mud.
“Hahahaha, you big dummy…”
Fang Xiaoyu mocked her loudly.
“Fang Xiaoyu, I’ll fight you to the death!”
Qi Manyao got up, not caring that her hands were covered in mud, and threw a punch at Fang Xiaoyu.
In an instant, Fang Xiaoyu was sent flying backward like a cannonball, hitting several stone pillars before stopping, her face covered in dirt.
“What’s going on?”
The commotion here also attracted the attention of others. Wan Lei quickly pulled Fang Xiaoyu up and checked on her before feeling relieved.
“Why is this girl so strong?”
Fang Xiaoyu was astonished. Logically speaking, even if she was caught off guard, with Qi Manyao’s strength, she shouldn’t have been able to knock her flying with a single punch.
