Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

286-288

There weren’t many tonal changes when he spoke but he didn’t feel particularly hostile or cold.

“I didn’t intend for this to happen,” Gu Xiqiao turned around and looked at Wu Hongwen and co. “The number of mythical beasts who have gathered in this area is way too big. So I’ve deliberately sealed up this space. In fact, this ruckus is relatively smaller than what would’ve happened if I did otherwise.”

“I know.” Jiang Shuxuan produced a snow-white sheet of paper, which he passed over to Gu Xiqiao. “This is something Baili passed over to me today. Of these nine points, three have already been confirmed. Theoretically, changes should be observed in the remaining six points in the near future.”

“But there has already been energy shifts in these points, right?” Gu Xiqiao understood immediately what Baili Bin was trying to convey to her upon receiving the paper.

Jiang Shuxuan nodded the moment he heard Gu Xiqiao’s words. “After you guys exit this realm, I will completely seal off Bahuang Forest.”

“But… what’s the reason for this?” Gu Xiqiao bit her lip. Dubhe’s appearance, the early energy shifts, and the ominous mythical beasts of Bahuang Forest. It seemed increasingly like an invisible hand was behind all of this.

“What remains in Bahuang Forest are the young ones, who shouldn’t pose too much of a threat…”

A lightbulb suddenly lit up in Gu Xiqiao’s mind. She peered up at Jiang Shuxuan, and at that moment, they acknowledged the shock in each other’s eyes. Seems like they were telepathically linked for they both had the same idea pop up in their mind simultaneously.

“I think their aim is probably to destroy the foundation of the supernatural world.” These 80,000 talents all represent the future of the supernatural world. Should they perish, it would be a fatal blow to the supernatural world. Jiang Shuxuan glanced at the mythical beasts. “I guess, you were not included in their plan before they attacked.”

If not for Gu Xiqiao, at least half of these 80,000-odd youngsters would’ve perished in the battle.

At this point, the nine-man team had already finished off the last mythical beast. However, they did not absorb the energy orbs right away. Instead, they were all rounded up by a formation cast by Baili Wen.

The barrier formation composed of thunder and lightning was instantly pushed back. An immensely strong energy contained within it was sent flying in every direction, which also created a strong gust of wind that made Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan’s clothes flutter.

Betty and Hans both stared at Jiang Shuxuan excitedly. They started whispering to each other but neither of them had the guts to walk up to him.

The layer of white frost surrounding his body was an obvious indication for strangers to stay away.

“Brother Jiang, these ten people have lost their identity cards. They can no longer communicate with the outside world so you should probably lead them out. We’ll meet again tomorrow.” Gu Xiqiao glanced at the ten people whom she had flung to the safe zone.

Jiang Shuxuan responded with a nod. “Stay cautious.”

His figure warped out of existence after he said that, followed by the ten people whom Gu Xiqiao was looking at mere seconds ago.

The only thing that told of his presence here was the white frost that littered the ground below.

After he left, Gu Xiqiao looked back at the nine people behind her. Rubbing her chin, she contemplated for a moment before announcing, “Tomorrow’s the final day. There won’t be any rest for tonight. Prepare to make the final rush. Try and absorb as much energy as you can from the mythical beasts you have slain!”
