Chapter 451: Jade Lake

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the normal speed of a god at the star condensation realm, it would only take them two to three days to reach the floating canyon from the Heaven Suppressing City.

However, the four teams from the source ore shops needed to carefully avoid the pursuers from the Heaven Suppressing City. The journey was estimated to take more than half a month, and if there were frequent incidents along the way, it might even take a month.

Another day passed by.

During this period, Li Tengfei, who was the one holding the line, was very annoyed. He had suppressed all the geniuses who had appeared, but now, he was being schemed against.

Not long ago, the Heaven Suppressing Army had killed many geniuses from the various factions who had helped the teams from the source ore shops to hold back the pursuers, although most of them had been faked by Chen Yiming.

However, not long after, the Heaven Suppressing Army began to suffer heavy losses. The generals who had led the troops to search for the teams from the source ore shops were wiped out one after another, and they could not bring back any news about the enemy.

Li Tengfei was not just waiting quietly. He had also joined the Heaven Suppressing Army’s troops several times and tried to ambush the people who were attacking the Heaven Suppressing Army, but he had missed them every time.

Li Tengfei thought about this situation carefully.

Firstly, the reason why he missed every time was because he had been under the other party’s surveillance.

Secondly, if he was really being monitored, could the mole be someone from the Heaven Suppressing Army?

Thirdly, what was the other party’s goal? Was he targeting the Heaven Suppressing Army? Or was he the ultimate target?

Fourthly, if the troops chasing after the source ore shops did not change their actions and continued with the search, how many casualties could the Heaven Suppressing Army lose?

Fifthly, Gao Shuai had openly contacted many factions behind the source ore shops. Was the person who was interfering with the Heaven Suppressing Army the one who had killed the Roc clan’s genius on the Flying Cloud Planet?

The last point was the most important thing. If it was really the person that had made many factions grit their teeth and go to war to chase after him across the galaxy, he would not be able to do anything about him.

As a person with the twin pupils bloodline, could he suppress his opponent just like how he suppressed the other geniuses?

Thinking of this, Li Tengfei felt a little uneasy. Both of them were at the star condensation realm, so it was naturally impossible to determine the difference between them without actually fighting.

However, the other party had Gao Shuai by his side. He had a special prophecy ability, so his every move might have been predicted in advance.

To be precise, they wanted him to take the bait and step into the trap that they had set up. They did not have the welfare of Li Tengfei or the troops chasing after the source ore shops in mind.

Time passed slowly.

The wilderness far away from the large cities was not under the control of any particular faction. It was extremely quiet in the wilderness, and even whispers could be heard from afar.

Li Tengfei’s eyes flickered. He suddenly recalled the rumors in the ancient books that those with twin pupils could create a world of their own and fight against the True Dragon and Phoenix.

His expression turned fierce. By not discussing it with the generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army beside him, he deliberately prevented his decision from being leaked by the mole. Then, he left the Heaven Suppressing Army and traveled alone.

…

“Did you see the person with twin pupils in the prophecy again?”

Chen Yiming asked with a smile as Gao Shuai spat out another mouthful of blood.

“Tsk! That guy with the twin pupils is quite something. He even knows how to hide in the Heaven Suppressing Army and pretend to be an ordinary soldier. Fortunately, I was vigilant enough and didn’t think of coming into contact with him directly. However, even so, the backlash isn’t easy to deal with.”

Gao Shuai did not forget to act pitiful as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

There was no turning back. In order to wipe out the treasure vault of the city ruler, Gao Shuai had really put in a lot of effort. He was just waiting for the person with twin pupils to fall first.

“It seems that the person with twin pupils is not the impulsive type. However, as long as it’s as you said before, someone at the level of the ruler of the Heaven Suppressing City will not personally take part.”

“Now, the initiative is completely in our hands. Unless the Heaven Suppressing Army gives up on hunting the four teams from the source ore shops, the person with the twin pupils bloodline has to make a move personally,” Chen Yiming said casually.

There was another point. The person with twin pupils had just suppressed many geniuses at the city ruler’s banquet. If he cowered at the slightest setback, there was naturally no way for him to become invincible.

This was a belief that he was invincible among his peers. This was especially true for the geniuses of the large galactic clans. There was a high chance that the person with twin pupils would not be an exception.

As he spoke, Gao Shuai seemed to have sensed something.

Chen Yiming turned around and saw that Gao Shuai had closed his eyes and returned to his prophetic state. Hence, he remained silent to prevent himself from interfering with Gao Shuai’s surveillance of the person with twin pupils.

Not long after, Gao Shuai opened his eyes again.

“The person with twin pupils can’t help but make a move.”

The moment he spoke, it was good news.

In a battle of their patience, Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai had won the first round.

Chen Yiming nodded.

The two of them quickly found the teams from the source ore shops. Although time was a little tight, Gao Shuai could easily find the locations of all the teams.

The two of them had the right time, place, and people to deal with the preparations in the time it took for Li Tengfei to chase after them. They could complete everything before the person with twin pupils locked onto a target.

…

In a forest in the wilderness, the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop was stopped by Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai.

The leader, Huang Zhongyun, had a guarded expression on his face. His gaze was fixed on Gao Shuai.

Gao Shuai’s reputation in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy was mixed. His special prophetic ability was highly valued, especially among the gods who were really going to participate in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse.

However, many people had been tricked by him, and they could not fully blame it on him. After all, the other party had always emphasized that most of the prophecies were not accurate.

“The person with twin pupils is chasing after you.”

Gao Shuai did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

“Ah…”

Huang Zhongyun could still maintain his composure, but the other members of the team could not. They all looked afraid and instantly panicked.

This person with twin pupils was on a completely different level from the other generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army. Not long ago, he had displayed his might at the city ruler’s banquet. Everyone had seen it with their own eyes.

If that person caught up to them, there was a high chance that they would not be able to escape.

“Everyone, don’t panic. Don’t panic.”

Gao Shuai pressed his hands against the air and continued, “My good friend and I have been secretly attacking the pursuers from the Heaven Suppressing Army these past few days. Did you guys feel that during this period of time, the number of times your whereabouts were exposed has decreased greatly?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zhongyun knew very well that this was indeed the case.

He was still wary of Gao Shuai, but he could not lie or deny it. Not long ago, the team was still discussing if the pursuers had given up the chase.

However, the other members of the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop seemed to have found their savior, and they pleaded for his help with their gazes.

“Then what should we do?” someone could not help but ask.

These words revealed what most of the people in the team were thinking.

It had to be known that wherever the people from the source ore shops went, they had previously always been treated like VIPs. They were not used to running away like stray dogs.

In fact, in their hearts, if they could use the source ores they carried to exchange for a safe escape, they would not be completely unwilling.

Of course, that was not really possible. It was just like telling the robbers they would hand over their money and ask for mercy. The consequences of taking a step back were often that they would be forced to give up even more. In the end, not only would they lose all their assets, but they would also lose their lives.

Gao Shuai smiled and did not mind Elder Huang’s vigilance. He continued, “I’m sure everyone has seen with their own eyes how powerful that person is. The many geniuses at the city ruler’s banquet were defeated by him alone.”

“To be honest, the two of us don’t have the confidence to defeat the other party head-on. Therefore, we can only use our wits. It’s best if we can trap the other party in a dangerous place for a long time.”

Using a dangerous place to trap the person with twin pupils?

Because the combat strength of Li Tengfei was too overwhelming, Gao Shuai’s suggestion did seem to be sensible.

When Huang Zhongyun heard this, he felt much more at ease. If what Gao Shuai said was true and he was not lying to them, he could indeed sense the good intentions behind his words.

There was no need to mention the others in the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop. They had long heard that Gao Shuai had contacted various source ore shops in the south mountain region to help them fight back against the pressure from the factions from the Infinite Island Group.

At this critical moment, there was no better solution than to trust Gao Shuai. After all, the strongest person in the team, Huang Zhongyun, who was at the jade star realm, was also burdened by the injuries caused by breaking the natural laws.

Huang Zhongyun was still confident that he could suppress ordinary geniuses, such as those from the war god Wang Cheng from the Thunder Cloud Group. However, if it was the person with twin pupils, he did not have the confidence that he would win.

Chen Yiming watched from the side as Gao Shuai acted.

The person with twin pupils had indeed followed the tracks they had unintentionally left behind along the way. Coincidentally, he had come after the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop.

They had indeed been secretly helping the teams from the source ore shops. Gao Shuai would also continue trying his best to let the team from the source ore shops reach the floating canyon successfully.

However, the main reason why the person with twin pupils was forced to chase after them was because of Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai.

Very quickly, as Gao Shuai and the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop established a certain amount of trust, Gao Shuai slowly explained the conditions needed for the person with twin pupils to be trapped in the space-travel distortion and be stopped from chasing after the team from the source ore shops.

This plan included how to lure the person with twin pupils into the ambush that they had prepared in advance, how to take the opportunity to completely shake off the pursuers when they were trapped, and so on.

…

In front of the jade lake, a breeze blew past, and there were no waves on the surface of the lake. It was as though it was a complete piece of jade that was only reflecting the scene of the lake on its surface.

Chen Yiming looked at the lake from the abandoned world. It was larger than the total surface of the blue planet, and there seemed to be no end to it.

“This… Could it be that we can’t protect our lives even before we deal with the person with twin pupils?”

Some people in the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop were worried.

The jade lake was not filled with normal water. Instead, it was made of a type of hard jade, and a small portion of it was a source mine.

Due to the geological activity in the area around the jade lake, the broken pieces of jade cut through the space, making it extremely fragile.

Those who entered this place to search for the source mine might accidentally encounter a spatial rift and fall into the space-travel distortion. Compared to other dangerous places, the risk here was much higher.

In addition, the proportion of true source ores in this special environment was very low. In other words, the rewards were usually not proportional to the risk.

In addition, jade stones also had a spirit. Some strange creatures were born in the jade lake, and the environment could naturally help them hide their figures, causing countless troubles for outsiders.

Therefore, other than a few source ore experts who were extremely confident in their own judgment and had strong cultivation levels, ordinary adventurers would almost never consider entering the jade lake.

Not long after.

Perhaps the team from the source ore shop had been noticed by some strange creatures at the bottom of the lake the moment they stopped by the jade lake.

Many cracks appeared on the surface of the lake, and a murderous aura appeared at the bottom of the lake. It seemed to be warning these people that the jade lake did not welcome outsiders.

However, with Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai around, other than a few people, only a few of the team members were still extremely wary of this dangerous place. Looking at the jade lake felt like one was stepping into an abyss.

In the eyes of Huang Zhongyun, it was unlikely for someone like Gao Shuai, who had a special prophecy ability, to die so easily even in such a dangerous place. The intuition of prophecy-type ability users was to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Soon, the group and the vehicles carrying the source ores gradually entered the jade lake.

The interior of the jade lake looked completely different from the outside. Although they used their will to directly part the jade stones around them, what they saw was a strange world. Furthermore, their vision was severely restricted compared to normal situations.

Chen Yiming was a little curious.

After leaving the blue planet, he had already traveled a long distance in space. He had seen a large planet with a fixed space-travel portal, and he had also come to this huge and special planet that produced source ores.

Compared to most gods at the star condensation realm, he had traveled much further than they would in their entire lives, and his understanding of the universe was much deeper.

However, this was the first time he had seen such a special environment like the jade lake. From time to time, jade-like creatures would follow them for a distance.

Gao Shuai led the way.

The route was not straight, but avoided powerful creatures from afar. It was not that they could not deal with them, but that they were unwilling to cause a huge commotion.

In addition, they also took twists and turns to avoid the weak spots in space along the way to prevent their own people from being affected by the space-travel distortion before they could ambush the person with twin pupils

“Brother, I’ll be relying on you from now on.”

Before long, Gao Shuai said seriously.

“After we start fighting, just bring the men and run.”

Chen Yiming glanced at the vehicles carrying the source ores. He didn’t know if these rare source ores were too big to be transported using space-manipulation methods.

The factions behind the source ore shops monopolized the trade of the source ores, so they definitely had spatial items. However, he had not seen any spatial items used to transport the source ores.

Seeing this, Gao Shuai said in a low voice, “Don’t mess around. Business is more important.”

Chen Yiming retracted his gaze.

Between a branch of a source ore shop and treasure vault in a large city that had been established for countless years, Chen Yiming chose the latter without hesitation.

He would deal with the source ores from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop when the team arrived at the floating canyon. As long as the factions from the source ore shops could provide him with enough help, he would naturally not be stingy with his protection.

Suddenly, a jade stone golem cut off their path forward.

The other party’s entire body was made of jade, and there were two holes in its head. Those were the eyes of the jade stone golem, and it was looking at everyone with ill intentions.

In the next moment, Chen Yiming’s will projection enveloped the jade stone golem.

Under everyone’s surprised gazes, the power of his will alone reduced the jade stone golem to dust. The surroundings instantly fell silent.
