CapĂtulo 2003: Chapter 2002: Sunset Glow Sect, Journey to Orchid Island
âWhere is it?â Xu Zimei hurriedly asked.
âOrchid Island,â the Sumeru Ancestor replied with a smile.
âI canât guarantee the accuracy of the information, but we can send someone to take a look at Orchid Island.â
âThis was told to me by Martial King Zhou.
Itâs said that Gongsun Muyaâs companion died on Orchid Island, so he will definitely go there.â
It seemed he was afraid Xu Zimei didnât understand.
The Sumeru Ancestor continued to explain, âI have told you before that Gongsun Muyaâs situation on Immortal Island isnât good.
He has promoted the way of technology, which violates the bottom line of many forces.
Many factions are hunting him down.â
âMoreover, Gongsun Muya had a companion, considered his wife, who was captured a while ago and executed on Orchid Island.â
âWhether for revenge or to retrieve his wifeâs body, Gongsun Muya will definitely make a trip to Orchid Island.â
âUnless Gongsun Muya chooses to hide like a coward.
But according to our understanding of Gongsun Muya, he wonât run away.â
âBesides, he is the founder of the way of technology. If he escapes, the way of technology will be completely destroyed in the future.
If even the core doesnât dare to show up, who would dare to join the way of technology?â
In short, this is a matter that challenges his intent.
Itâs both a conspiracy and an open plot.
No matter if Gongsun Muya goes or not, there will be no benefit.
If he goes, he will surely die.
Orchid Island already has a Heavenly Net Earthly Trap waiting for him.
If he doesnât go, although he can live, he will only be dragging out an ignoble existence for the rest of his life.
âWhich forces are on Orchid Island?â Xu Zimei asked.
âThe forces are not small, but many are second-rate and not worth mentioning.
The truly powerful ones are only three forces.â
âMyriad Buddha Sect, Spirit Beast Gate, and Shennong Gate.â
âThese three factions hate Gongsun Muya the most because his main activities were within their territories.â
Upon hearing this, Xu Zimei asked, âWhat about the Hidden God Sect? Are they participating in this as well?â
âWe are not participating,â the Sumeru Ancestor shook his head.
âAlthough we also despise Gongsun Muya, he hasnât caused us substantial harm.
Moreover, the issue with the sea beasts is crucial now.
Dealing with the sea beasts comes first; other matters can wait.â
The Sumeru Ancestor knew how to prioritize.
No matter how much trouble Gongsun Muya makes, it is not as severe as the threat of the sea beasts.
If it werenât for the sea beasts this time, probably more than half of Immortal Islandâs factions would have gone.
In a way, the sea beasts saved Gongsun Muya once.
âAside from resisting the sea beastsâ attack, there are also sea beasts infiltrating our Immortal Island.
A season of unrest,â replied the Sumeru Ancestor.
âIt will be busy in the future.â
âIn that case, I want to make a trip to Orchid Island. Letâs part ways here,â Xu Zimei said.
Going to the Hidden God Sect would be meaningless for him.
It would be better to go directly to Orchid Island.
If luck is on his side, he might get to meet Gongsun Muya directly.
This person was still very important to him.
Hearing Xu Zimeiâs words, the Sumeru Ancestor pondered for a moment.
Finally, he nodded.
âIf thatâs the case, take care, senior. I hope we can meet again.â
Before parting, the Sumeru Ancestor gave Xu Zimei a map of Immortal Island.
So Xu Zimei wouldnât get lost and not find the location of Orchid Island.
Watching a few people leave, Xu Zimei looked at Lu Ling beside him.
He asked, âWhat do you plan to do now?â
âI certainly wonât take you to Orchid Island; itâs probably full of dangers there, and you have no ability to protect yourself.â
Lu Ling shook his head hurriedly.
He said, âI want to return to my hometown to take a look. Iâm very grateful that you brought me back. Iâm already content.â
This was Lu Lingâs original plan.
He wanted to return to Immortal Island; after all, this was his home. Dying here would be his final resting place.
âRegarding the Immortal Token, I hope you will keep it a secret,â Xu Zimei reminded.
âOtherwise, we might become enemies.â
âRest assured, senior, I will keep my lips sealed,â Lu Ling replied with a shiver inside.
âThe Immortal Token is a legend. Besides you who have truly seen it, no one else could even think of it.
Once I get back to my hometown, Iâll go into seclusion and wonât spread any news.â
Xu Zimei nodded.
Watching Lu Ling leave, Xu Zimei was once again a solitary person.
But the path he chose was destined to be lonely, and he was used to it.
Taking out the map given by the Sumeru Ancestor, Xu Zimei checked the direction.
This was the initial strait of Immortal Island, and there was a considerable distance to Orchid Island.
At this time, Xu Zimei took out his Time-Space Shuttle.
This could come in handy.
The speed of the Time-Space Shuttle was very fast. According to Xu Zimeiâs estimate, with the speed of the Time-Space Shuttle, he could reach Orchid Island in twelve hours at most.
Accompanied by the roaring sound of the Time-Space Shuttle, the entire shuttle seemed to move at light speed.
It directly pierced through the silent void, disappearing into Wu Gengâs space.
âŠâŠ
The Time-Space Shuttle had been flying for about seven hours.
Near a high mountain, suddenly two attacks came shooting toward the Time-Space Shuttle from the left and right.
These two attacks were like light speed, with great speed.
Fortunately, Xu Zimei reacted in time, and the shuttleâs speed was even faster, directly avoiding the attacks.
If he hadnât reacted in time, the Time-Space Shuttle might have already been destroyed by the two attacks.
The shuttle slowly stopped, and Xu Zimei stepped out of it.
He was a bit angry.
He should have no enemies on this Immortal Island; being attacked for no reason would make anyone angry.
He stepped out of the shuttle and looked toward the direction from which the attacks had come.
He saw two factions confronting each other at the mountain peak.
It was the faction on the left that had just attacked Xu Zimei.
The faction on the left all wore white robes, of a unified style, embroidered with a gentle spring breeze.
The faction on the right, however, was dominated by sunset colors.
The sunset robes looked particularly beautiful.
âWho are you?â A voice from the faction in white robes called out.
They looked at Xu Zimei with unfriendly expressions.
âAnd who are you?â Xu Zimei asked.
Just as the left side was about to scold him, they were interrupted by the people on the right.
The people in the sunset robes were obviously much more amicable.
âWe are from the Sunset Glow Sect, and they are from the Wind Cloud Sect.
The two of us are resolving a dispute here,â explained the person from the Sunset Glow Sect.
âWho attacked me just now?â Xu Zimei frowned slightly, asking.
âIt was me, so what?â a young man from the Wind Cloud Sect arrogantly stepped forward.
He said, âWe are settling a dispute here. Who knows if youâre a friend or foe when flying overhead.â
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Xu Zimei struck down with a palm.
This palm gathered the surrounding Spiritual Energy, forming a Heaven-covering Great Palm.
âBoom, boom.â
Full of momentum.
The young man drew out his longsword at his waist, using the Wind Cloud Sword Technique to try to sever the Heaven-covering Great Palm with a single slash.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his own strength.
