Chapter 824: Arrival! This Guy Is Going to Cause Trouble!

At the same time, Xu Jingming on the other side had already flown out roughly 10 kilometers.

"Looks like they didn't catch up."

After sensing no aura tailing behind him, Xu Jingming slowed his flight speed and released Zhou Yu from his embrace.

"That speed just now must have broken 2 times the speed of sound, right? The two of our abilities stacked together can actually reach this level?"

Zhou Yu, standing prettily in midair, still hadn't recovered from the extreme speed of moments ago.

One must understand,

the flight speed of a ninth-rank Martial Saint is only just under 2 times the speed of sound.

And the Yell Secret Realm still has the restriction of 10 times Blue Star's gravity, making it even harder to break through 2 times the speed of sound.

"It's because Zhou Jie's wind-element ability is too strong that we broke through to that speed."

Xu Jingming said with a smile, then withdrew from the extremely draining Thunderstorm Form.

"Don't, my ability just now only played a supporting role; the key was still you."

Zhou Yu's melodious voice carried a thick note of astonishment.

Although the flight just now had been very brief,

she still noticed that the aura Xu Jingming had emitted was more than ten times stronger than when he killed Lu Wenliang in Great Xia!

Even she, held in his embrace, could sense a deadly dangerous aura from Xu Jingming's body.

"May I ask why those American powerhouses' attacks had no effect on you just now?"

After a pause, Zhou Yu asked with some curiosity.

Among that group of Americans, there was one peak eighth-rank and two upper eighth-rank elementalists.

Being able to withstand such attacks without dying cannot be explained by a powerful physique alone.

But then she added: "Of course, if this involves your secrets, just pretend I never said anything."

Although curious, Zhou Yu did have her bottom line.

"There's nothing I can't say. The battle suit on me was given to me by Lord Blood Sword; its defense is fairly strong." Xu Jingming briefly explained.

"So it was the battle suit?" Zhou Yu suddenly understood.

Also,

Xu Jingming is now Blue Star's number one heaven's favored.

Even Katherine, Su Yu, and Andrey, who also possess SS-rank abilities, are still struggling at sixth-rank.

Yet Xu Jingming has already broken through to upper seventh-rank.

It was only normal for Great Xia's higher-ups to give him some life-preserving items.

"I was just saying, how could Xu Jingming's physique be so powerful as to withstand head-on the attacks of a peak eighth-rank elementalist."

Shaking her head, Zhou Yu looked at Xu Jingming again: "So where are we heading next?"

She did not ask what Xu Jingming had snatched from Ryan's hands.

Because even if she knew what it was, it had nothing to do with her.

"Let's go to that Hundred Flowers Valley you mentioned, Zhou Jie." Xu Jingming said thoughtfully.

The use of the Plant Holy Water could be tried later; if the exotic flowers and herbs were snatched away by others, there really would be no way to snatch them back in a short time.

"Alright."

Zhou Yu nodded and flew together with Xu Jingming toward the originally planned destination.

The direction Xu Jingming had fled in was originally toward that place.

In other words, the original 40-kilometer distance was now less than 30 kilometers.

Two minutes later, when Xu Jingming and Zhou Yu arrived nearby, they immediately sensed the powerful auras ahead.

"Yelena! The three of our forces each take one-third; this is the most reasonable solution!"

"Reasonable? You're dreaming! We want half, and the remaining half you two split evenly!"

"Yelena! You've gone too far!"

"......"

In this sea of exotic flowers and herbs, a total of 11 powerhouses could be seen.

These 11 powerhouses came respectively from Bear Country, the European Union, and Great Xia.

Among them, Bear Country had 4 people: one peak eighth-rank and three upper eighth-rank.

The European Union also had 4 people: three upper eighth-rank and one middle eighth-rank.

Great Xia had only 3 people, all of whom were upper eighth-rank.

The powerhouse from Bear Country, targeted by the other two forces, named Yelena, was the only peak eighth-rank present.

Clearly, she was quite dissatisfied with the European Union's and Great Xia's proposed distribution of these exotic flowers and herbs.

Yet she didn't dare to really make a move, because the moment she did, the European Union's and Great Xia's powerhouses would immediately unite.

And for the European Union and Great Xia, they were also unwilling to give up some exotic flowers and herbs to Bear Country for nothing.

Therefore, they had been deadlocked here all this time.

"Someone from Great Xia has arrived."

Upon discovering Zhou Yu and Xu Jingming on the scene, Yelena of Bear Country immediately frowned.

In contrast, the three upper eighth-rank Grandmasters of Great Xia were overjoyed and hurriedly waved:

"Director Zhou, Curator Xu, over here!"

Xu Jingming and Zhou Yu did not hesitate and walked over to that side.

At the same time, Xu Jingming also recognized the identities of these three.

They were Huang Yan, Wang Kun, and Yu Fu respectively; Huang Yan was the clan head of a Great Xia eighth-rank Grandmaster family.

The two behind were members of the Fierce Bear Wu Guan.

"It seems the Fierce Bear Wu Guan's strategy is to pair up in teams of two."

Xu Jingming noted silently to himself.

Both the Lei Ting Wu Guan and the Fierce Bear Wu Guan had six members on their team.

In this Yell Secret Realm, gathering all the martial hall members together to move as one would reduce danger.

But correspondingly, the efficiency of gathering exotic flowers and herbs would be much lower.

Therefore, the strategy their Lei Ting Wu Guan adopted was to have those two eighth-rank mid-tier members move together.

Xu Jingming himself, Ling Shuang, and the remaining eighth-rank peak and eighth-rank upper-tier members would move alone.

This was also why, even though Ling Shuang hadn't teleported over, Xu Jingming hadn't actively gone to look for her.

Because splitting up like this made the efficiency of gathering exotic flowers and herbs much higher.

The Fierce Bear Wu Guan, whose members were all eighth-rank upper-tier, seemed more cautious, deploying in pairs of two eighth-rank upper-tier members.

"With you joining us, the Bear Country side probably won't dare demand half the exotic flowers and herbs here anymore."

Wang Kun of the Fierce Bear Wu Guan revealed a confident smile, then said to Zhou Yu:

"Director Zhou, we'll split the exotic flowers and herbs we get later evenly, each person takes a quarter — that should be fine, right?"

A quarter?

Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes — this guy was trying to stir up trouble.

Counting himself, there were five Great Xia people here in total, yet they were only dividing the exotic flowers and herbs into four shares, clearly not counting him in.
