Chapter 801

"No matter what, we cannot give up just like this. Cyno, please take the martial arts techniques and assemble a martial arts army immediately."

"Before Alhaitham and the others left, they said they had already built a formation for cultivators in Sumeru City. In the short term, there shouldn't be any danger."

"Kaveh, Nilou, please gather the rest of the Sumeru citizens to Sumeru City as quickly as possible."

"Faruzan, I'll have to trouble you to help settle these citizens down."

"Candace, I leave the desert side to you."

"I hope everyone completes their tasks as quickly as possible; we are currently in a race against time."

Everyone nodded solemnly. After a moment of silence, Cyno added:

"Lord Lesser Lord Kusanali, what should we do about the cultivators?"

"At the end of the day, without cultivators, everything we do is still very dangerous."

"According to that canned knowledge and what Alhaitham and the others said, only by having enough cultivators can we remain invincible in this world that is about to evolve."

"Otherwise, those fierce beasts will also compete with us in Sumeru for living space."

"Also, I suggest we should make a trip to Liyue to seek reinforcements and find a way to make contact with Shushan."

Nahida gave a bitter smile.

"According to what Alhaitham and the others said, Liyue is also troubled by the spiritual energy recovery. Their strength might be enough for self-preservation, but to provide us with aid…"

"They probably won't allow their own soldiers to do such a thing."

"Everyone is currently unable to even take care of themselves…"

"However, as for Shushan, we do indeed need to find a way to reach out."

"Cyno, after you pass on the martial arts to the army, come with me to Liyue."

526. Selling the Doctor for 10 Million Contribution Points, Diluc Finishes Him in a Second

As for the movements in Sumeru, Alhaitham and the others no longer paid attention.

With that formation in place, Sumeru wouldn't have any accidents in the short term.

They now had more important things to do.

The preliminary preparations for the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament had to be done as soon as possible.

With only a month and a half left, there was no time for them to wander around outside.

First, release Lesser Lord Kusanali to reorganize Sumeru; once the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament ends, they will have time to properly guide Sumeru.

Alhaitham and the others still had the authority to provide recommendations this year, so they naturally wouldn't waste it.

After returning to Shushan, Tighnari and the others parted ways early. With the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament imminent, everyone they saw could be considered a potential opponent.

If possible, they didn't want to interact with each other for too long.

Everyone headed to their own cave dwellings, intending to choose a time when no one was around to search for their own techniques.

Heaven-tier techniques were their trump cards for this Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

Alhaitham, however, was in no rush; he took the Doctor and decisively flew to Diluc's cave dwelling.

He didn't go in, just stood outside and called out.

"Senior Brother Diluc, I have something to discuss."

After a long silence, Diluc walked out, looking extremely vigilant.

He kept an extremely safe distance from Alhaitham and used a special magic treasure to hide all his aura.

Only after ensuring that Alhaitham couldn't probe any information from him did he say softly:

"What is it?"

Alhaitham felt a bit strange and said helplessly:

"Is there a need to be this nervous?"

"Sorry, with the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament imminent, I must be vigilant against every opponent. There have already been many people like you coming to probe for information these past few days."

Hearing this, Alhaitham couldn't help but laugh, but when he turned his head, he immediately discovered a faint divine sense probing him.

His expression changed slightly; he instantly took out a small tower and placed it above his head, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Senior Brother Diluc is being a bit underhanded."

"With the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament imminent, everyone wants to achieve good results, and I am no exception."

Seeing that he had been discovered by Alhaitham, Diluc wasn't embarrassed. After withdrawing his divine sense, he reminded him:

"Junior Brother, you'd better not appear so ostentatiously these days, otherwise, there's no telling how many people will want to see what you're capable of."

Alhaitham snorted in his heart, not intending to drag things out.

"I just returned to Sumeru to resolve some trouble, and I had some unexpected gains on the way. I think Senior Brother Diluc will be very interested."

Diluc stared at Alhaitham with some doubt, but the next moment, the other party released a tightly wrapped person from the small tower.

Instantly, Diluc's eyes turned red.

His aura erupted instantly, and a blood-colored giant hand grabbed fiercely toward the Doctor.

Alhaitham retreated a step, blocking it with the small tower.

Sensing this level of force, Alhaitham narrowed his eyes slightly.

Diluc's strength was much stronger than he had imagined.

But now, the transaction was more important.

Immediately, Alhaitham chuckled:

"Regardless, this is my war trophy, Junior Brother. Senior Brother, aren't you being a bit too impatient?"

Diluc's blood-red gaze remained fixed on the Doctor; he had already begun to imagine how to torture this enemy.

Hearing Alhaitham's words, Diluc said in a deep voice:

"What do you want?"

"Ten million contribution points, and the Doctor will be left for Senior Brother Diluc to dispose of."

Hearing this, Diluc calmed down slightly. He looked at Alhaitham silently and said calmly:

"Do you think he's worth that much?"

"Of course not."

Alhaitham said faintly:

"But I believe that for you, Senior Brother Diluc, his value should be worth more than ten million."

Diluc looked deeply at Alhaitham, took out his disciple token, and tapped it a few times.

The next moment, Alhaitham noticed that his disciple token had gained quite a few contribution points.

He chuckled and pushed the Doctor toward Diluc.

"Senior Brother Diluc is generous. However, I have one more piece of news I'd like to tell you, Senior Brother…"

"How many contribution points?"

"Free of charge."

Alhaitham pointed at the Doctor and said softly:

"Senior Brother Diluc doesn't necessarily need to kill him immediately…"

Before he could finish, Diluc sneered.

"For a beast like this, killing him would be a reward. I will make him properly experience the methods of a cultivator; I want to make him wish he were dead!"

Alhaitham was stunned; he shook his head and said:

"I mean, this guy has split himself into many segments. This segment is just his most powerful one."

"If you want to completely resolve the Doctor, Senior Brother Diluc, it's best not to finish him off yet. Find a way to locate his other segments and kill them once and for all."

"Only then will the real Doctor truly die."

Hearing this, Diluc was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder."

Having said that, Diluc turned to head back.

Suddenly, Alhaitham added:

"Come to think of it, Senior Brother Diluc has quite the methods. A single palm print actually made the spiritual light of my top-grade spiritual weapon dim quite a bit…"

"Is this a technique Senior Brother Diluc just learned?"

Diluc paused, turned his head, and looked deeply at Alhaitham.

He understood that in his impulsiveness just now, he had ultimately exposed a bit of his trump card.

But it wasn't a big problem.
