Chapter 213: The Match Begins
Honghuang and the other two looked closely.
The one whose clothes were embroidered with an eagle.
Hoohoo, isn’t this someone from the Fierce Eagle Sect?
Honghuang glanced at the other party: “Yes, what business do you have with us?”
He couldn’t afford to offend people from the Guanhai Sect for now.
What is the Fierce Eagle Sect!
The Fierce Eagle Sect disciple who spoke made a gesture to Honghuang: “Wait, during the match, I will personally send your Flying Sparrow Sect home!”
Honghuang sighed: “Brother, do you know that people like you don’t live past the second episode in TV shows?”
The other party frowned: “What is television?”
He felt that Honghuang was mocking him.
Although that was indeed the case.
An Xiu glanced at the two of them, then tugged at Honghuang, signaling him to go into the house to talk.
The Guanhai Sect had arranged accommodations for everyone, for a brief rest, with four people per room.
Their Flying Sparrow Sect had four people, so they were assigned to the same room.
The person from the Fierce Eagle Sect wanted to say something as An Xiu and the others were about to go in, but another person tugged at him and shook his head.
It was better not to cause trouble at the Guanhai Sect.
After Honghuang, An Xiu, and Zhang Sheng went in, An Xiu said, “Look at the discussion group.”
Only then did Honghuang divert his attention to check the messages.
It turned out that Han Tian and Mu Qiu had mentioned a place called Longshuang Great Marsh, and that there were training teams in Liuxian City that one could sign up for. They also briefly explained the benefits of Longshuang Great Marsh.
Honghuang immediately understood An Xiu’s meaning: “You want to go?”
An Xiu nodded.
But Honghuang frowned slightly: “It’s too far, it’s in Liyun Sect’s territory. If something happens to us, we won’t have the backing of a Big Shot like Han Tian. If the System has no Points, it really won’t save us.”
System: “Moral blackmail is useless. I’m just cold data.”
Honghuang: “…”
An Xiu still said, “So many Cultivators go every year, not just us. Fortune favors the bold. If we go, we’ll be with Big Shot Mu Qiu, and it will be safer if a few of us team up.”
Honghuang still hesitated: “But this is too much fortune…”
The two of them looked at Zhang Sheng next to them and briefly explained the situation.
“Do you want to go?”
Zhang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head.
His Account was too important to him. He enjoyed the pleasure of speaking slowly in the Game.
He didn’t want to lose this opportunity.
Since Zhang Sheng wasn’t going, Honghuang and An Xiu wouldn’t force him.
But these two were inseparable. If An Xiu really wanted to go, it meant Honghuang had to accompany him.
Honghuang gritted his teeth: “If we go, we’ll really be going with the risk of losing my Account.”
An Xiu said, “Playing a game is about seeking maximum benefits. Longshuang Great Marsh, just by the name, is a place full of opportunities. You don’t want to play a Cultivation game and be timid, do you?”
Honghuang waved his hand: “Get lost, stop using provocation. If I could revive, I’d go to Liyun Sect and party without a second thought. We’re still in the novice village, and you want to start challenging high-difficulty Instances?”
“Where is it high-difficulty? The fact that Qi Condensation Stage players can go to Longshuang Great Marsh means there are definitely suitable places. It’s just that we can’t return for a short time. If you really want to come back, work hard to earn Spirit Stones, and you can use the Teleportation Array—it might even be cheaper than the System’s fee.”
Honghuang was still hesitating.
His hesitation meant he was wavering.
An Xiu said, “I want to go.”
As soon as he said that, Honghuang knew he had to go too: “You beast, you’ve been tricking me since you were little. If my Account is gone, you’d better compensate me with a House.”
An Xiu: “Okay, I have two Houses, I’ll transfer one to you.”
Honghuang: “? I was joking.”
He looked at An Xiu with a terrified expression.
“Brother, we’ve known each other for so long, be honest, are you… I’m telling you, I’d rather you stab me in the back twice—”
Before he could finish, An Xiu slapped him.
He said coldly, “There are many Demonic Beasts on the border of Cave Demon Valley, but for us, it’s just training, and the Spiritual Energy isn’t as good as other places. Players are also all concentrated here. Longshuang Great Marsh has many opportunities and chances to earn more Spirit Stones. If I have the chance to go, of course I’ll try.”
Honghuang said with difficulty: “Alright then, who made me your dad.”
An Xiu slapped him on the head again.
Zhang Sheng watched them from the side and slowly smiled.
In the afternoon, Han Tian also arrived.
Since the match hadn’t started yet, Han Tian was resting today and wasn’t doing a Live Broadcast.
He knew that An Xiu and Honghuang were going to Longshuang Great Marsh, and of course, he was supportive.
The more people who went, the more rare Spirit Materials they could discover. If the donation channels worked, wouldn’t their Sect have a chance to get rich?
However, it was still hard to say who would get rich.
Honghuang originally wanted to hold back a question, but he couldn’t resist it.
He said mysteriously to Han Tian: “Big Shot Han, we discovered a secret at the Guanhai Sect today.”
To prevent the Guanhai Sect from having special monitoring channels.
Honghuang had become smart and sent Han Tian a private message to supplement the information.
【Honghuang: There’s a Player at Guanhai Sect who is the Ninth Disciple of the Fifth Elder. I don’t know which batch of Players they joined yet, I haven’t seen them, but they should be very strong.】
The reason for not saying it in the discussion group was that he didn’t know the Player’s situation.
What if they were keeping it a secret for a Hidden Task? If too many Players knew, it wouldn’t be good.
Han Tian was stunned.
In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart.
“Did you really see clearly?”
Honghuang nodded. An Xiu probably knew what Honghuang had told Han Tian, and also nodded.
Han Tian pondered for a moment, then said to them, “Forget it, just pretend you didn’t see it.”
Usually, Players with Hidden Tasks would announce it, and the System would never stop them.
In this situation, it was better not to say anything, so as not to affect that Player’s status at the Guanhai Sect.
Anyway, with the System monitoring, Players couldn’t cause any trouble.
Moreover, the Sect Master had long intended to expand into other Sects.
Han Tian still had a Task.
He narrowed his eyes. The Sect Master had asked him to open up trade routes, also to include other Sects as bases, and likely to send Players to infiltrate.
After all, if they didn’t want to fight, this was the most suitable way to invade.
Just like the Flying Sparrow Sect now.
The Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were either in seclusion or training. Su Huanli had already departed for Cave Demon Valley.
Before leaving, she asked Chen Miaomiao to keep an eye on the Flying Sparrow Sect, which was already an unspoken agreement.
The Shuitan had already reached Foundation Establishment Stage, so what Realm would the Sect Master be at?
He had a hunch that it was at least faster than the Players’ progress.
The next day, because it had been announced in advance that the Game would hold its first competition with other Sects, Han Tian started his Live Broadcast. It was early morning Blue Star time, yet a large number of netizens flooded in.
The number of online viewers exceeded fifty thousand in just a few minutes.
The popularity at such an ungodly hour was truly terrifying.
The Bullet Comments were even more surging.
【Go Shattered Sect!! Defeat Guanhai Sect!! Crush Myriad Immortal Sect!】
【Brother Han Tian, I’ve bet all my assets on you, you have to at least make it into the top ten!】
【According to the novel trope, in this situation, our Longevity Sect will definitely take first place】
【If it doesn’t follow the trope, Guanhai Sect, not wanting other Sects to take first place, will likely cause trouble】
【Huh? Oh my god, honestly, when we entered the game, we did Character Creation, why do these four faces look so ordinary? Did I really enter the game as an NPC?】
