"Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are destined to the fated. What happens next depends on you alone. Iâm tired and canât be bothered," the Star Plate revealed a few more words, not disappointing her.
"Hey, wait, could you be clearer? What do you mean by âdepends on me aloneâ?" Mu Hanyan was completely baffled and quickly pressed for an answer. She didnât believe she could snatch the Dragon Blood Stone from these deadly stars on her own.
Unfortunately, as soon as the words appeared, they vanished completely, and the glow disappeared, leaving it no different from a cheap street vendorâs charm.
Mu Hanyan rubbed her temples with vexation. Knowing the Star Illusion Thousand Machine as she did, if it said it wouldnât intervene, then it definitely wouldnât. Everything truly depended on her now, but what should she do next?
Just as Mu Hanyan was lost in confusion, Qu Shanhai spoke up, "I donât care which familyâs offspring you are or what background you have; I only care about strength. If you have it, then go ahead and vie for the treasure. If not, then leave early to avoid becoming collateral damage."
His words were filled with threat but still, gave Mu Hanyan a choice.
Huayue and the others looked at Mu Hanyan once again. If it had been before the fight with Zong Dingfang and He Songhua, they would have advised Mu Hanyan to leave without hesitation. But now, why didnât they do so? They had witnessed too many incredible things from Mu Hanyan firsthand; who knew what astonishing act this once considered playboy and waste would display next?
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. My strength is not on par with the esteemed seniors here, nor do I dare to covet the treasure. However, as the saying goes, âHeavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are destined to the fated,â I canât help feeling reluctant to give up so easily.
In my view, obtaining this Dragon Blood Stone wonât be easy either. It seems we must first break through the light cocoon surrounding it.
Why donât we do thisâlet the seniors make their move first. Whichever of you can obtain the Dragon Blood Stone, I will sincerely congratulate. But if none succeed, then permit me to give it a try," Mu Hanyan proposed after contemplating. She hadnât grasped the true intention of the Star Illusion Thousand Machine yet, but she knew one thing for certainâshe couldnât leave yet; staying was her only chance for opportunity.
Thinking more about it, she realized she was becoming increasingly reliant on the Star Illusion Thousand Machine, which was not a good sign. Perhaps, relying on herself, even if she failed, wouldnât be so bad; at least it wouldnât affect her determination in cultivation.
With this in mind, the worries and concerns in Mu Hanyanâs heart dissipated, and she felt a sense of relief wash over her.
Qu Shanhai had no interest in playing such childish games with Mu Hanyan and was about to decline when he heard a disdainful voice from beside him, "Humph, a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears kids also dare to daydream. If we canât break open this light cocoon, what makes you think you can?"
The speaker was Chen Pingfeng from the Cang River Chen Family. Among the crowd, his strength came closest to Qu Shanhaiâs, and they were close friends. So once Chen Pingfeng spoke, Qu Shanhai found it hard to object.
"If thatâs the case, whatâs wrong with giving it a try?" Mu Hanyan quickly seized on his words.
"Letâs try then. If we really canât do it, whatâs the harm in letting you try a thousand times or even ten thousand times?" Chen Pingfeng said impatiently.
"Do you two have any objections?" Seeing Chen Pingfeng take charge, Qu Shanhai didnât bother to waste more words with Mu Hanyan and asked the two people who had arrived earlier.
