Chapter 512: Let Me In

Long Tongshi looked at the meditating Hui, emanating a cold, dark aura. He scowled. I dont trust him.

Why not? He hasnt been threatening, not even once, Mo Riyan said.

Long Tongshi shook his head. He broke through the barrier with ease. We shouldnt dismiss him. Hes stronger than he looks.

Youre getting worked up over nothing, Mo Riyan said, shaking his head. He nodded at Hui. If he wanted to kill us, and he was really that powerful, wed already be dead.

He wants the teleportation formation. If

If he killed us, nothing would change. The teleportation formation would be exactly the same as it is now. Stop being so paranoid, Mo Riyan said. He sat down opposite Hui, leaning on his hand to watch Hui.

Long Tongshi snorted. He shifted his spear to his other hand. At least one of us should keep watch.

Keep what watch? Outside? If the Eastern Alliance attacks, theres nothing the two of us can do that will stop them. Well sound the alarm and die. Keep watch over Fellow Daoist over there? Im doing that, Mo Riyan reasoned, shrugging. If this strange Fellow Daoist succeeds, though, we can escape this hellhole and stick someone else with guard duty.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

What if hes an Eastern Alliance spy? Long Tongshi argued.

Then he enters the Southern Sect Conference. How much damage can one man do? Its not as if the Southern Sect Conference is entirely without protectors. Especially if Patriarch Fen Long has awoken again, Mo Riyan said, waving his hand.

You think hes telling the truth about that? Long Tongshi said. He gave Mo Riyan a skeptical look.

Mo Riyan put his hands up. So cynical! Whats the worst that can happen? Lets let him struggle a bit. Hes done no harm yet.

It might be too late, after he acts, Long Tongshi grumbled.

Rolling his eyes, Mo Riyan turned away. Or he opens the teleportation portal and we go home for the first time in fifty years. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, thats what I say.

Is that how you ended up here, instead of with Gui Yutongs hand? Long Tongshi asked dryly.

Mo Riyan jumped to his feet. He drew his sword. Thats enough. Well settle this the usual way.

Long Tongshis eyes flashed with excitement. He flourished his sword. As you wish.

As if you werent waiting for this, Mo Riyan said, rolling his eyes again.

The two leaped at one another. Heavy blows echoed through the carved chamber, while the dragons writhed in the firelight.

It sure got noisy all of a sudden I hope the resentment demon didnt return, Hui thought, the sounds of battle dimly reaching his ears. He bit his lip, looking back down the length of the karmic thread. I cant go back now, though. To leave might mean forfeiting my contact with Fang Hua forever, since its not as if I know exactly how to enter this mode with the karmic threads. Ill just have to hope they protect me!

Hui is fine, just Hui, Hui said quickly.

Weiheng Hui, were ghouls, Lao Ning said.

Death cultivators, Shen Aiguo interjected.

All-Heavens is an exorcist sect, Lao Ning continued.

Hui took a deep breath. Thats true. I didnt think about that. Even though we reformed All-Heavens Sect at the end of the day, it is fundamentally an exorcist sect, and Lao Ning and Shen Aiguo are now death cultivators. Unless its one of my friends, I cant guarantee they can visit the sect unharmed.

Can you contact anyone from All-Heavens and ask them to activate the formation? Li Xiang? Fen Long? Hui tried.

Li Xiang? No way! And the Patriarch? I might, but hes busy, Shen Aiguo said.

Eh? Why is their reaction to Li Xiang stronger than their previous sects patriarch?

No, no. Thats not the point. Someone else, someone else I know at All-Heavens, who wont attack a few ghouls as long as they have my name Huis eyes lit up. What about Song Wei?

Song Wei? Lao Ning and Shen Aiguo exchanged a glance.

Is it no good? Hui asked.

No, no. Hes good. Hes very good! Shen Aiguo said, nodding a little too enthusiastically. A grin spread over her face. Senior is so brilliant! Yes, well contact Song Wei. Hell surely help Senior.

Hui frowned, then shrugged to himself. Any port in a storm. Whatever it is thats troubling them about Song Wei, as long as he gets me into the Southern Sect Conference, its all fine by me. Then, please do. Ill be waiting here, but there seems to be some kind of battle. Please hurry, Elder Siblings!

Ah? Yes, of course! Lao Ning said, jumping up. He fled the chat.

Shen Aiguo hesitated a moment longer. She shot Hui a flirtatious wink. Between you and me its thirty thousand spirit stones.

Eh? Hui asked. Is she flirting with me?

Shen Aiguo! Lao Ning shouted distantly.

Oh, I have to go! Think about it, Shen Aiguo said, rushing off.

Hui blinked. Im so confused.

Oh well. As long as I get past this barrier!
