Chapter 779: Global Crisis

The Capital, Lingjing Lane.
Shi Xuejin sat beside Nie Ting. Nie Ting closed his eyes to rest. He was stabilizing his class. He could now live normally. But once he gathered magical energy, it would create a conflict with the rules of the world. This was something he did not expect.
“I don’t know when my house will be done either.” Shi Xuejin said sadly, “The foundation was only done yesterday. I had to hire a master to redesign the courtyard. I had to find professional supervisors and construction workers as well. It was not cheap. You may not know, but the price of construction materials have increased recently…”
Nie Ting closed his eyes. His eyelids twitched, but did not speak. Two hours later, Nie Ting suddenly said, “Shouldn’t you be supervising the works at Liuhai Lane?”
“I’m here to settle the bill with you. If not, what will I do if you destroy the courtyard again in the future?” Shi Xuejin said, “Let me tell you, I’ve thought about it. We can make this room smaller…”
Nie Ting said, “Who do you think sent the message to all the large organizations? Why did all the Heavenly Kings receive the same message? Even large organizations overseas received it too. The message said that the secret behind the Ancient Yi Clan is in the Changbai Mountains.”
Shi Xuejin was dumbfounded. “I don’t know… let’s talk about the layout of the master bedroom…”
Nie Ting expressionlessly looked at Shi Xuejin. Shi Xuejin slowly lowered his voice. “The one behind this said that the secret behind the Ancient Yi Clan can be found in the Changbai Mountains. Is there a possibility that this is nonsense? Is the mastermind targeting the person in the Changbai Mountains?”
“Not possible. The sword formation has not moved, which means that no one has entered. No one knows what exactly is inside either,” said Nie Ting. “This conspiracy is too sudden. No one has understood what is going on.”
“Then we shall quietly observe.” Shi Xuejin said, “What if you are being targeted?”
After all, Nie Ting was officially recognized as the strongest expert in the realm of cultivation. The other large organizations dreaded him. If they were not able to advance to Shen Cang Jing in this period of time, working together to get rid of Nie Ting might be their best option.
But the problem was, how many Class A’s did they need to kill a Shen Cang Jing? The large organizations were probably aware of the reality.
“Unless someone is certain that you can no longer attack, thus they are no longer paying attention to you. If not, how can you stand others entering the country and into the Changbai Mountains with your personality?”
Nie Ting furrowed his eyebrows. “The Puppet Masters.”
The Puppet Masters were from the exiled land. From the information that they had, the strength of the exiled land was greater than that of Earth. Thus, they had guessed that the Puppet Masters were protecting the stability of Earth, because they knew what would happen if it cracked.
But the Puppet Masters probably knew more than this. For example, they might know that the Shen Cang Jing on Earth were in an awkward position where they could not attack.
If the Puppet Masters were behind this, they had to be on the alert. After all, no one knew what they were scheming.
To kill Li Xianyi? It was possible, as they said that the secrets behind the Ancient Yi Clan would be revealed. The Golden Foundation would be the most interested to find out.
To kill Nie Ting? It was possible as well.
“Increase our levels of preparation,” said Nie Ting. “If they are willing to act recklessly within our borders, they have to be prepared to die.”
“Wait.” Shi Xuejin was suddenly dumbfounded. “You aren’t thinking about making a move, right? Do not do that. We still have a long way ahead of us…”
“Link up with that old man.” Nie Ting shook his head. He did not directly answer the question. Instead, he changed the subject. “Tell that old man not to break through first. The Heavenly Network still needs his Class A combat power. This might delay his progress. After all, we are asking him to stagnate. But after this crisis is over, the Heavenly Network will do its best to help him advance. I hope that he will understand.”
Shi Xuejin sighed. “He told me yesterday that he was willing to stagnate. There is no harm in protecting the Heavenly Network for another sixty years. These sixty years will be the end of his lifespan.”
If Chen Baili also advanced to Shen Cang Jing, the Heavenly Network would lack strong combat power. But Chen Baili did not mind. He was willing to stagnate and continue to protect the Heavenly Network. But there was another problem. He had advanced to Class A in his older years. If he had not advanced, there was a possibility that he would die immediately. His advancement to Class A added another 60 years to his lifespan. But if they continued to delay, no one knew whether he would still be able to advance to Shen Cang Jing.
This was a crucial decision. Faced with the more desirable choice of advancing to Shen Cang Jing, Chen Baili chose the other option.
“He doesn’t want us to be too worried. He doesn’t want us to take offence as well. He thinks that Shen Cang Jing is not pleasing to the eye when compared to the Classes ABCDEF. Since we need him now, he is fine with staying a Class A.” Shi Xuejin sighed. “Yesterday, he suddenly told me that since we’re all going to die, what can be better than dying for your country?”
Nie Ting looked at Shi Xuejin. “What did you say?”
Shi Xuejin said, “I said, sugoi 1 … then he told me to stop praising him in Japanese…”
Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin did not know that Lu Shu had also received the same message. But as everyone was ready to go to the Changbai Mountains, Lu Shu did not even plan to go there.
It was obviously a trap. He, Lu Xiaoshu, would not fall for it.
Lu Shu turned off his phone and was about to start singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when he saw Little Fury walking back dejectedly. Lu Shu was curious. “I told you to play for only ten minutes, but you’ve been out for an hour. What happened?”
Little Fury drooped its head. It looked very sad and did not reply Lu Shu.
Lu Shu felt that something was not right. Little Fury had never shown an expression like this. Did it get bullied outside? Lu Shu quickly asked, “What happened to you?”
Little Fury wrote. “I’m distressed!”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Why?”
“This is my first time not having enough digital coins in stock! I will never be able to recover from this!” Little Fury wrote.
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Then, his expression darkened. “So you dare to change your tone now, huh?”
Little Fury did not reveal what Coral asked it. Lu Shu also did not know that Little Fury had appeared in Coral’s dreams. This was a secret between Coral and Little Fury. No one else would know what they had talked about.
