Chapter 1700 - 1013: Arrival

"The style is identical, the materials used are the same, the only difference is that the Witch Emperor’s Arrow was created in collaboration between her and me, and it’s been nurtured with willpower and blood over the years."

One real, one fake. Only the owner can discern it best. Sui Yi investigated the rise of Hawk’s history, initially, this Witch Emperor’s Arrow was the founder’s signature ring, named Hawk because of the favored eagle eye and bird feather on it. Since then, this ring has been passed down as a legacy item...

Of course, although it is not the genuine article, it is indeed crafted by a highly skilled hand. Even the secret scripts are engraved exactly the same, reaching a power level beyond her Beak of the Golden Crow. However, it’s uncertain whether the founder possessed the ability to utilize these secret scripts.

If he did... then perhaps Ying Yuan has already lost this ability by now.

Sui Yi rotated the Witch Emperor’s Arrow, squinting her eyes.

"He probably doesn’t know there’s a layer of secret art on this that dispels evil, capable of dispelling inner harmful constraints. Even if it can’t completely suppress the damage from the Polar Ice Burst, it can significantly reduce it."

However, Sui Yi had no intention of telling Ying Yuan about this. Since she promised not to intervene in their war, she absolutely wouldn’t.

Everything would be centered around her own mainline mission.

As Sui Yi was studying the ring, she suddenly received contact from Gu Sansi.

——They’ve arrived!

Given her current unique state, with Thousand Buddha’s attention on her and Hawk certainly also watching, it is absolutely impossible to meet them openly. Otherwise, it would expand their attack range. Thus, right now, not even intending to meet with Gu Sansi and the others, not even in disguise.

Why?

Ying Yuan, in such a state, could detect she was in disguise. Who knows if he has recovered some of his abilities these days, while the fake ring is evidently crucial to him, even relating to his leadership authority within Hawk. Sui Yi knows that he will definitely be watching her.

Thus, for safety’s sake, Sui Yi is not planning to meet Gu Sansi and instead has Sansi go find Pu Qinghan. For one, Qinghan’s strength is not low, and the Beast Forest is where Pu Qinghan can perform best, allowing Gu Sansi and the others to train most efficiently. Besides, she previously left no small amount of resources with Pu Qinghan, considering today’s possible scenarios.

Gu Sansi was speechless for a moment at Sui Yi’s plight. After a pause, she finally said, "If I laugh at you now, is it considered below my station?"

"Then don’t laugh, please."

Then Sui Yi heard Gu Sansi’s unabashed chuckle, followed by, "I just asked Li Luo what she thinks, do you know what she said?"

"..."

"She said, ’Those with flawed character, beware the risks of bathing.’

"..."

It has escalated from morality to personality, haha.

You all might as well head back.

However, Sui Yi knew that the number of people who came to Dragon Ape with Gu Sansi was quite significant.

Gong Jiu and other key members have arrived, but they do not intend to linger in Dragon Ape.

Here’s how it started: Gu Sansi, adept out of professional habit, utilized her prophecy technique at the port for half a day, thoroughly investigating numerous masters and merchants traveling to and from the Small Fragmented Jade World, initially aiming to understand this world’s current state and rules more deeply. What she got was an unexpected delight.

——In the memory of a sleazy little adventurer, there was a Small Fragmented Jade World called the Rose Jade World. This world was neither too big nor too small, secretly discovered by a few adventurers in recent years. Its resources are quite abundant but full of natural dangers, and this small adventurer group had a sizable ambition. They didn’t want to sell the information to major powers, intending to monopolize it and establish an emerging power. However, ultimately, it was greed that led a snake to swallow an elephant, almost wiping out the group. This sleazy yet very sharp adventurer abandoned his companions first, embarrassingly piloted the small airship back to Dragon Ape, already planning to sell the information to a major power organization, only to unwittingly be caught by Gu Sansi, who carried a BUG. The outcome, then, was fairly simple.

The brat was directly snuffed out, silenced, and Gu Sansi then launched a "Gold Rush Adventure Plan."

Who would like to remain in Dragon Ape?

Who would like to adventure to the Rose Jade World to scavenge treasures?

Those willing to stay are Li Luo, owing to her natural lack of adventure spirit, coupled with her formidable strength, yet lacking a technique foundation, thus better suited to absorbing advanced technique training in Dragon Ape locally, also fitting in with Sui Yi’s plans.

Of course, being alone inevitably invites concern. If partnered with the capable support-enhanced Chu Yezui and with her fierce close combat capabilities, they could dominate the power circles below Cloud Ascendant. Not even team battles would deter them.
