Chapter 1816: Chapter 1843: These Rich Second-Generation Kids Are Really Lame
A few cultivators gasped in astonishment.
Who are these two ruthless individuals that could make Elder Sister Zhuo, who looked down on everything, so apprehensive?
Zhuo Wenjun gritted his teeth. In the test of the Minor Law of Causality, he was eliminated by the cunning and deceitful Number Eleven. Afterward, he found out that the Summoner’s real identity is Number Seven, and Numbers Eleven and Seven were covering for each other.
This was a team that could outsmart all these prideful elites. If these two got ahead, they might as well head back home now.
Meanwhile.
To the west of the main city, Li Xiaobai and his group had already left the city, facing a flat plain stretching out before them.
This differed from their usual knowledge of treasure, as this Buddhist Sect treasure wasn’t hidden in deep forests but in such an open area.
“Are we sure about this? It doesn’t quite match our expectations,”
Immortal Hu asked with a frown.
“The Compass shows it’s here, it can’t be wrong. There should be a hidden door; search carefully, you all look around too.”
The blond man commanded Li Xiaobai and the others to spread out and conduct a thorough search.
If there was a treasure buried in the plains, there was likely an underground tomb.
Li Xiaobai observed the soil, but it didn’t seem like it held any treasure. The three people beside him felt the same way, given their experience and long history of trickery outshone these sheltered flowers.
They all thought there was nothing here, so there definitely wasn’t.
“Crack, crack.”
As they were conferring, a crack suddenly ripped open across the surface.
A hand abruptly reached out from it.
“What the hell is that?”
Ma Niubi jumped up; his ankle had just been brushed by that hand.
The hand kept struggling, trying to grab onto something, and the blond man and others also noticed the anomaly and gathered around.
The group formed a circle, examining the hand from top to bottom.
“Where did this hand come from?”
Immortal Hu asked Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai: “It suddenly popped out from underground; it gave me quite a scare.”
“This hand…”
The blond man squatted down and examined it closely.
“What, did you find something?”
“It looks like a woman’s hand.”
“…”
The young heirs wanted to study it, yet couldn’t come to any conclusion.
Only Li Xiaobai and the three others watched for a while, suddenly realizing something and discreetly stepping back, distancing themselves from these aristocrats.
They keenly noticed that the hand emerging from underground bore some resemblance to Immortal Hu’s hand, with similarly delicate fingers and a mole on the same index finger.
Most importantly, the veins’ distribution on both hands was identical, a world where two hands couldn’t be exactly alike unless they belonged to the same person.
“Is it just my imagination?”
Li Xiaobai asked, somewhat uncertain.
“No, Mr. Yu has compared it carefully; it’s identical.”
Yu Huan Shui said.
“The length of the nails is the same; there’s no mistake. Could we have been tricked?”
Ma Niubi whispered.
Liaowang: “Remain calm, let’s see the body when it comes up.”
As he said, that delicate hand was struggling to pull itself out, and most of an arm could now be seen.
After a careful comparison with Immortal Hu, they were even more certain that this hand belonged to Immortal Hu.
Unfortunately, the group of heirs still hadn’t noticed anything and continued to closely inspect the hand. The blond man even drew a sword and poked it to verify its authenticity.
“There’s really someone down there!”
“Could it be that someone got here first?”
“No way, we didn’t notice any other tracks along the way; we should be among the first to arrive.”
“Let’s pull the person out and see. You guys over there, stop standing idle and pull out this hand!”
The blond man looked at Li Xiaobai, giving the order.
“This is a woman’s hand. Men and women should not touch; let’s wait until she crawls out on her own.”
Li Xiaobai said honestly.
The blond man was displeased and was about to say something when he was interrupted by exclamations from those nearby.
“Retreat quickly, this thing is coming out!”
“It’s a female cultivator… No, why does this female cultivator look so familiar?”
Once everyone got a clear look at the figure crawling out, they couldn’t help but be stunned, turning to look at Immortal Hu in unison.
Immortal Hu was also dumbfounded. Although the clothing was different, the creature that crawled out of the crack indeed looked identical to her.
Moreover, she remembered having an outfit exactly like that.
“What’s going on? What’s the situation?”
“Is there another Immortal Hu?”
“No way, it should be some creature imitating. I’ve heard that some extraterrestrial beings can transform into others’ appearances and take over their lives!”
“Spread out and keep your distance from this thing!”
The young talents no longer concerned themselves with Li Xiaobai’s group and fully focused on guarding against this “Immortal Hu” before them.
“However, the appearance of a being beyond expectations here implies that the Compass’s guidance wasn’t wrong. This thing is most likely the guardian of the treasure or a creature linked to the treasure, coming out to stop any being attempting to approach the treasure.”
The blond man stated his guess firmly, and everyone nodded, agreeing with him. Guardians were quite common.
Only the real Immortal Hu had trembling shoulders.
It was wrong, completely wrong!
Only she knew that the creature before them absolutely wasn’t imitating her appearance; how could a creature she met for the first time mimic an outfit she wore years ago?
There must be important information missing!
Li Xiaobai and the others, who had retreated far away, were shocked by the aristocrats’ analysis, thinking how foolish the reasoning was.
This obviously incorrect statement was actually accepted by others, and seeing the blond man’s confident demeanor, how foolish, yet how confident!
“Can’t these idiots tell that the small habits that the appearing creature exhibited were exactly the same as the real Immortal Hu?”
Yu Huan Shui was discontent, wishing he could go up and tell them the truth.
Failing to notice such obvious things, these young people couldn’t even be proper cannon fodder, likely dashing the hope of having the aristocrats scout ahead and gather information.
Li Xiaobai pondered, as usual, skeptically: “Is there a possibility that they figured it out but pretended not to know, trying to lure the creature to make the first move?”
Liaowang broke his norm by joining in on the topic: “I don’t think so; these benefactors aren’t very sharp-minded.”
Ma Niubi said: “Master, you’re overly cautious, a bit paranoid. They’re just failures who can’t even scout properly.”
Meanwhile.
That peculiar creature moved.
She conjured a sword from somewhere and pointed it ominously at the blond man and the others, coldly saying, “You demons and deviant sects dare to parade under the name of my Hehuan Sect? Today, I shall cut you down!”
