Chapter 292: 291: Internal Conflict!

Translator: 549690339

One hour passed quickly and at this moment, the breaths of the five Heavenly Court war gods entirely hitched.

“So this is the World’s Will?”

“Is it there?” Du Gang muttered, at this moment, he felt an impalpable presence focusing on him, as if at any second, it could rip him apart!

However, he quickly recomposed himself and promptly said: “Head north, right now!”

He had previously asked Kou Yingwu specifically and knew that the World’s Will could keep its gaze upon them for a maximum of one minute.

So, they needed to show an indication of their intention of heading north within this one minute.

The others, who were also briefed by Du Gang in advance, did not utter a single word and ran straight north.

At the moment, their escape was not staged; truely, they were escaping. Because that oppressive, suffocating feeling made them extremely uncomfortable!

There was no one behind them, but they were like panicked prey being hunted by some terrifying entity, running frantically.

For an entire minute, they were overwhelmed by this intimidation; until the end of the minute, when the purple energy of the Heavenly Court finally appeared, completely engulfing all five of them.

“Keep running, first out of this area...”

Kou Yingwu clearly had more experience, despite also feeling the discomfort, he still reminded everyone.

This is because even though the Heavenly Court’s energy had evicted the World’s Will for the time being, the last location it remained was right here. Therefore, it was necessary to escape from this area.

Thus, under the cover of the purple energy, the group rushed off without following a specific route, managing to escape some distance before finally stopping.

“Whew~~”

All five of them exhaled deeply, their expressions only relaxed at this point. If someone were to touch their backs at this moment, they would find them soaked with sweat.

“So that is the World’s Will?”

They were currently in a woodland reserve. Lan Zhize did not care whether it was clean or not and just lay straight down on the ground.

“That was too terrifying. I thought I was going to die there!”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang squinted his eyes and asked, “Haven’t you already gone through a mission before? Didn’t you encounter the World’s Will in the previous world?”

No!”

Lan Zhize shook his head directly, “The last mission was relatively simple, the task was just to steal local treasures...”

“Steal treasures?”

Du Gang was taken aback, finding this explanation strange.

What could you do with stolen treasures?

Does the Heavenly Court have such a requirement?

“Haha!”

Upon hearing this, Kou Yingwu laughed, “The so-called treasures are things that are useful to the Heavenly Court, they may not necessarily be useful for us!”

Du Gang nodded, didn’t pry further, but turned his head towards Tao Xuanzhu and said: “Miss Tao, next, it will be your turn to go east...”

Since he knew that Tao Xuanzhu had the ability to fly on a sword, naturally he had to make the best use of it.

At this stage, her reconnaissance abilities could be used to look at the terrain and determine the next location to expose—it would be the best option.

He had barely gotten halfway through his sentence when Jia Xiangming interjected: “Are you really going to have the goddess be our scout?”

Hearing this, Du Gang did not respond to him, but first looked at Kou Yingwu, noticing that he didn’t have much of a reaction, then at Lan Zhize, who also had no reaction, before finally turning to look at Jia Xiangming.

He calmly said, “By saying that, are you trying to stir up trouble?”

If Lan Zhize and Kou Yingwu were ordinary men, they should have been prompted to express resentment by now.

The previously harmonious team suddenly became tense.

The other three, including Tao Xuanzhu, all looked over.

Jia Xiangming was feeling cornered, he hadn’t expected Du Gang to point it out so directly, and he quickly revealed an awkward expression, saying: “No, no, I was just worried about the goddess...”

“Heh Heh!”

Du Gang chuckled lightly, “If you truly admired her, why didn’t you watch her silhouette fade away when she left?”

“Hmm?”

All four were taken aback, not understanding what he meant.

Du Gang’s mouth corner curled into a smug smile, then he turned his head to face Lan Zhize. “Before the World’s Will arrived, Tao Xuanzhu went to investigate using her flying sword technique. How did she look then?”UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

“She looked amazing!”

Lan Zhize quickly remembered and praised it. It was sincere. At that time, Tao Xuanzhu’s silhouette greatly resembled a fairy soaring into the sky.

“You said yourself, causing discord is just a habit, and it hasn’t caused any bad consequences...”

“So as long as you cooperate closely with us to complete the mission in the upcoming time, we won’t deliberately make it difficult for you!”

“After all, our goal is the same!”

Listening to this, Kou Yingwu and others couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

In their hearts, they shared the same thought.

How Jia Xiangming’s character was, did not matter to them. Once they leave this world, they will be strangers again, so why bother too much?

For everyone, completing the mission and safely leave the small world is the most important thing!

Du Gang’s decision could be said to be in line with everyone’s interest.

Even Jia Xiangming appreciated his way of handling things.

He was ready to kill the four of them but it seems now there’s no need to play his trump card!

Jia Xiangming grinned, nodding, “Don’t worry everyone, from now on, I am totally focused on the mission and won’t cause any trouble...”

After all, better to stay out of trouble when possible!

Having settled this matter, Du Gang then continued with the previous business, looking over at Tao Xuanzhu for confirmation.

Tao Xuanzhu didn’t hesitate, she nodded, and while taking out a flying sword, she asked, “Just like last time?”

Du Gang smiled, “Exactly, mainly find a Nature Reserve, then identify the route to the west of this reserve...”

While speaking, he suddenly moved his lips silently a couple of times.

A secret message!

The other three in the scene were all taken aback, wondering what Du Gang meant by that.

A secret message just for Tao Xuanzhu?

Tao Xuanzhu’s expression also showed a slight change, she looked around and finally nodded, then she flew out on her sword and left.

After she left, Kou Yingwu stepped forward and frowned, “Du Gang, that’s not fair. You just mentioned Jia Xiangming’s issue, what do you mean by this now?”

Lan Zhize also looked displeased, “Did you say something you don’t want Jia Xiangming to hear? Then you should send a secret message to me too...”

Jia Xiangming grimaced, did they really need to blatantly talk like he wasn’t there?

Du Gang just gave a faint smile and shook his head, “It’s nothing. I can promise you, whatever I said, it was all for the mission, and there is no other purpose!”

Hearing him say this, the others didn’t pursue any further and started preparing on their own.

In a short while, there was a distant faint boom, the sound of something exploding.

“They’re here!”

This was a trap set by Du Gang and his team in the rear, fairly weak, but mainly to determine the location of the pursuers.

Their arrival would undoubtedly induce a reaction from the world will, which naturally would have the local powers chasing after them.

Lan Zhize looked excited, “Wonder if their remaining four Main Gods are among these pursuers!”

The four Main Gods, are the four strongest level-nine divine spirits in this small world.

Kou Yingwu also seemed eager to fight, “Du Gang, I say, we should have a go first, see how powerful they are. If we can handle it, I will just kill them all and save us all the trouble...”

Du Gang shook his head, “There will be an opportunity for you to take action, for now, let’s proceed as I’ve suggested...”

He was mentally timing, and soon when the time he had predicted arrived he said, “Kou Yingwu, you can go now!”

“Understood!”

Kou Yingwu nodded in acknowledgement, took the equipment he had prepared, and swiftly headed in a certain direction.

After he left, only three remained in the field. This time, both Jia Xiangming and Lan Zhize remained silent, quietly waiting for Du Gang’s command.

After a few minutes, Du Gang swiftly said, “Lan Zhize, it’s your turn!”

“Okay!”

As Lan Zhize nodded, he darted out swiftly, heading in a different direction.

In the same fashion, a few minutes later Jia Xiangming also left the place.

After they left, Du Gang chose the fourth direction.

He was testing the four-direction tactic, causing disruptions in these four directions and watching how the pursuing forces react, in order to understand the thoughts of the world will.

Because, the world will knew the location of the Child of Destiny!

This time, his testing methods were not as simple as just four directions. Besides, in each direction, he used some tricks to narrow down the area through continuous testing, to finally determine the Child of Destiny’s location.

This was like a game where the world will was the NPC. Certain actions of the players would trigger a response from the NPC to accomplish their goals!
