Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As soon as Young Master Liu Yun said that, there was a flash of figures as the Ancient Demon Elder, Lian Wuxu, the Ultimate Sword Honorable appeared out of nowhere and showed themselves on the square.
“Young Master Liu Yun, why have you summoned us?” the Ancient Demon Elder said with a fake smile. How he wanted to give the man a good slap!
But the man had terrible powers, and they sought help from him, so he forced himself to smile.
“You three, head to Guzhou and bring the four beauties of the Wasteland to me!” Young Master Liu Yun ordered.
“Four beauties?” they asked in bewilderment, looking slightly unnerved but not showing it. They were Xeons of the Wasteland who had flourished in their prime. It had been a joke to have taken part in Young Master Liu Yun’s foolishness, and now they were asked to find some women for him.
How could they not feel rage?
They might have presented gifts all this while, but they had never given their women away.
But the lower Demons and other fighters, as well as those from the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, had been doing so.
Many were watching this scene unfold.
Besides their own members, a large number of strong fighters from other forces had been staying with the Demon Tribe during this time.
Young Master Liu Yun’s summons had caused a sensation as people watched from afar.
They all felt deeply helpless and regretful when the Young Master Liu Yun tasked the three Xeons to look for women.
Had the Xeons of the Wasteland fallen so much to the point of embarrassment that they had to find women for Young Master Liu Yun?
The crowd of strong fighters surely felt deeply helpless for them, but it could not be helped.
They understood that the three Xeons had no choice. The Xeons had been working effortlessly for ages on finding a solution for the Wasteland. No one wanted to let go of this rare opportunity it might never happen again.
Sure enough, the three Xeons agreed to take up the task.
“Young Master Liu Yun, may I ask, who are these four beauties?” the Ultimate Sword Honorable asked. He had spent some time on Guzhou star before, along with the Ultimate Supreme Being and the members of their Palace, but he had never once heard of the four beauties.
“Ultimate Sword Honorable, the four beauties are Di Lanxi, Mu Li, Mei Xinchi, and Ling Chang!” Di Yihun said. The corners of his mouth curved into a knowing grin, for these were the four women closest to Su Mo.
The only way Su Mo could save himself was if he abandoned them and not be concerned for their life and death.
Still, he knew Su Mo was a man of integrity who would never abandon these women. Surely, he would resist, and this was what Di Yihun hoped to see. And once Su Mo did so, the man would be thoroughly driven into the abyss.
As he spoke, the masses watching from afar looked surprised.
After so much confusion, the four beauties were actually Su Mo’s close relatives! Di Yihun must have wanted to ensnare Su Mo all along!
Di Yihun was certainly vicious. With this move, Su Mo was basically trapped!
Of course, the Ancient Demon Elder, Lian Wuxu, and the Ultimate Sword Honorable did not know about this, but even if they had known, they would not have cared.
“Young Master Liu Yun, we’ll find you whomever you want. May I ask when you plan to take us to the Cloud Ridge World?” asked Lian Wuxu.
He could not bear it anymore. All this time he had been probing and had never once received a proper answer. He had to be direct now.
He was Lian Wuxu, born thousands of years ago like a rising comet, devoted to the arts, and he would overcome any hurdle come his way, practically invincible. He would not allow himself to be swept along like this anymore.
For the sake of leaving the Wasteland, he could afford losing his good name and his reputation, but he needed a proper answer.
“It’s been two years here, and I’ve had enough of this!”
Young Master Liu Yun sighed and gave a half-smile, “As long as you bring me the four beauties, I’ll return to the Cloud Ridge World very soon, and since you’ve all done such a good job, I’ll bring you there too.”
A stone in water causes ripples. The crowd became excited and ecstatic upon hearing his words.
Were they finally leaving?
Young Master Liu Yun was finally taking them to the Cloud Ridge World!
For a moment, the people rejoiced. Since Young Master Liu Yun was willing to help, it would not be just the few of them, but everyone would have the chance.
“Thank you, Young Master!” Lian Wuxu saluted him with balled fists.
“Thank you, Young Master!”
“Thank you, Young Master!”
The Ancient Demon Elder and the Ultimate Sword Honorable also expressed their gratitude, but neither of them felt joyous.
They exchanged glances and could tell what the other was thinking.
Young Master Liu Yun was not fully deserving of trust, if he could be trusted at all.
The three of them were beings who had lived for several thousands of years. They had seen countless people, and had lived through the ages. What kind of people had they not met?
They might not have been able to tell how powerful Young Master Liu Yun actually was, but the man’s nature was obvious.
So, although Young Master Liu Yun might have verbally agreed to take them to the Cloud Ridge World, they could see that he had never really meant it.
“Alright now, hop to it!” Young Master Liu Yun waved his hand. A trace of mockery flickered in his eyes. Bring these people to the Cloud Ridge World? No way!
These were the inferior class of the Lower World, with big dreams of heading to the Cloud Ridge World to change their fate. How laughable!
From the Primitive Continent came a total of three thousand Worlds, among those were one thousand Lower Worlds, one thousand Middle Worlds, and one thousand Upper Worlds.
The thousand Upper Worlds were directly connected to the Primitive Continent’s higher plane. The strong fighters in the thousand Middle Worlds would have to reach the pinnacle of their World in order to break the barrier that led to the Primitive Continent.
As for the thousand Lower Worlds, they were located in the lower plane of the Primitive Continent, completely isolated. These Worlds were filled with lowly, inferior people, and even if they managed to train to the top of their World, they would never reach the Primitive Continent.
Of course, if these people of the Lower Worlds got extremely lucky, they could enter the Middle Worlds or the Upper Worlds and take that as stepping stones to the Primitive Continent.
There had been cases of this happening in the other Lower Worlds, like the Emperor from the ‘Force Realm’.
But those cases were few and far between.
Young Master Liu Yun felt great disdain. He could bring these people to the Cloud Ridge World if he wanted to, but he never intended to.
To him, the fate of these inferior people of the Lower World should be sealed along with the end of Wasteland era, and eventually go extinct.
And they would wait countless years before civilization re-emerged in the Wasteland, flourished and withered again, and the process repeated itself.
“Young Master Liu Yun, let me go with them!” Di Yihun got up quickly. He had to go personally, otherwise if Su Mo fought back and was killed by those three Xeons, it would not be good.
The three Xeons had already vanished into space by the time he finished speaking..
They heard what he said but paid him no mind. They did not need others monitoring their actions.
T-this…!” Di Yihun’s face sank, and then he sighed. Fine. It could be dangerous if he went along anyway.
It would not be good for Su Mo to die, but that would be better than his continuing growth.
“Haha, Di Yihun, you don’t have to. I like your recommendations and I’ll surely reward you well!” Young Master Liu Yun. Di Yihun was a fine candidate with sufficient talent. Certainly a humble man who would make a fine servant.
“Thank you, Young Master!” Di Yihun thanked him. A cold smile crossed his lips. Young Master Liu Yun was merely his stepping stone.. One day, he himself would surpass the Young Master.
