In the Hall of the Universe, everyone was speechless at the scene before them. The Silver Number, which had appeared from nowhere, seemed to sail through without encountering any obstacles. Not only were there no fierce beasts, but even individuals were absent; within a mile radius, there wasn't a single other number to be found. As it entered the Night Crow Forest, it showed no signs of hesitation, as if it had faced no barriers at all. It was now on the verge of exiting the Night Raven Abyss through the correct exit.
This left those who had initially favored the Golden One Hundred Seventeen utterly dumbfounded. The sudden turn of events was likely something even the designers of the challenges had not anticipated.
Perhaps Coco was just lucky, incredibly lucky.
In light of this explanation, everyone felt a bit embarrassed. The Hall Master quietly smiled, while Shen Shixing remained focused on the numbers represented by Gu Ping and his three companions.
Two silver numbers and two golden ones stood out prominently among the crowd. Regardless of which path they took, they were undeniably eye-catching. The golden numbers could suppress that combination with their presence, but a group of Divine Cultivators who did not seem to fit together might not be able to unleash their full potential. It was even possible that Coco would drag them down.
Once the number of participants reached a certain threshold, the defenses of the Night Crow appeared somewhat fragile. In an unexpected breakout battle, countless Night Crows fell into the Pine Forest, and many cultivators had already reached their destination.
According to the terrain map, fewer than fifteen hundred people had successfully crossed the Liquid Essence in previous attempts. Moreover, Coco was now nearing the end of the stipulated five-day period, having already spent a day and a half.
As night fell over the eastern wasteland, Gu Ping and his three companions gathered around a campfire while Chu Yunxiang walked alone nearby. She exchanged glances with Gu Ping but clearly still harbored some resentment towards his methods. Despite Gu Ping's numerous acts of kindness along their journey, she felt an undeniable awkwardness in her heart.
After passing through Misty Crow Forest, everyone's routes had been disrupted. Some were aware of this; others likely remained oblivious to the secrets held by that map. They also did not know where Jie Donglai's Central Secret Realm might be located.
A day and a half had already passed.
Yan Dong found himself in a desolate area and wondered if there were any other Divine Cultivators who shared his path besides himself.
As the two conversed, Ying Zhan remained silent, a piece of grass clutched in his mouth, lying on the back of Red Tiger.
He could carry both of them; without them, they could still reach the destination.
Jiang Anbo understood that Gu Ping was not speaking the truth. Ying Zhan and Chu Yunxiang were not just ordinary fighters; they possessed the combat power of two Golden Core Stage cultivators. There was something more that Gu Ping did not mention, but Jiang Anbo sensed it in his heart. Gu Ping seemed to imply that others around them, like Coco, would affect the actions of both Ying Zhan and Chu Yunxiang. After all, if they wanted to eliminate Hong Yulong early, the chaotic situation with Yan Dong was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Looking at Chu Yunxiang, who had buried her head between her legs, Jiang Anbo suddenly felt a dryness in his throat. He wanted to say some farewell words but didn’t know how. He knew he liked Chu Yunxiang; he had liked her from the first moment he saw her. It didn’t matter how much he tried to hide it; he was a remnant of the Light Path, while Chu Yunxiang was a descendant of the Great Chu Family, destined for greatness and perhaps even a happy life. Yet here he was, walking alongside her in this crimson twilight.
Coco's words served as a reminder that he should stop dreaming. No matter how hard he worked, it would all amount to nothing in the end.
Suddenly, Chu Yunxiang lifted her head to look at Gu Ping, her gaze becoming resolute. Gu Ping smiled knowingly; he understood that Chu Yunxiang was an intelligent woman. Earlier in Night Crow Tunlin, Gu Ping had intentionally revealed some information to her. When Yan Dong spoke those words that sounded like a farewell, Chu Yunxiang should have grasped his meaning.
Standing up and adjusting her long skirt, Chu Yunxiang left without saying a word of goodbye. There were many paths ahead; there was no need for them to walk together.
Once Chu Yunxiang disappeared from Jiang Anbo's sight, neither of them spoke again. Meanwhile, Ying Zhan also prepared to leave; being perceptive, he understood Gu Ping's intentions.
As Ying Zhan turned to ride away on Red Tiger's back, he heard Gu Ping's voice.
"Wait, I want to make a deal with you."
A deal? Ying Zhan turned back but couldn't discern what Gu Ping wanted. He knew that for Gu Ping and Jie Donglai, this could be an interesting proposition.
"I'll help you eliminate Hong Yulong from the competition if you help me secure the top spot at the Sky East Tournament."
"Drawing a pie?"
Gu Ping was taken aback for a moment, then understood Ying Zhan's meaning and couldn't help but grin.
Why not exchange? Let's see who I want to send out; an equal trade.
I might have to take a loss on this one.
Although Ying Zhan's words were brief, they were highly refined. Not only did they not tempt Bei Qinping's proposal, but they also accurately assessed Yan Dong's situation. Whether Gu Ping needed help or not, he didn't deny it. The title of the best in Tiandong was inconsequential to him; he came to participate in the Sky East Tournament not just to fight, but it didn't matter who he faced.
An exchange of one for two; besides, he might not even make it to the end.
