Chapter 221: Li Laodao's Plan

A group of geniuses looked at each other, and Shi Kun spoke first: "It's a bit inconsistent with my expectations, because the plan is too easy and too safe."

"You mean, that Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Great Formation of yours is enough to block everyone outside the Imperial Palace, including that Spirit Sea Late Stage Gu Cultivator who might be a variable, while only about a hundred Gu Cultivators and body cultivators are left inside the Imperial Palace."

"This group of Gu Cultivators and body cultivators are all scum who cannot mix in the Gu World. It's enough for us to slaughter them."

"This is clearly a simple mission that couldn't be simpler. Where is the danger? Do you need to make such a big battle formation?"

"Not only did you call so many geniuses, but you even called five of the top ten geniuses on the Monstrosity List."

"Are you making a mountain out of a molehill? To kill that group of scum, there is no need to dispatch geniuses on the Monstrosity List at all. You yourself plus dozens of ordinary-level Gu Cultivators are completely enough. You don't need to call any of us."

"You think too highly of those scattered cultivators who cannot mix in the Gu World. Using a cannon to bomb an ant is superfluous."

The others also had the same view and looked at him with strange expressions.

At first, they saw that Long Dan actually called so many famous geniuses, and even five of the top ten geniuses on the Monstrosity List. They subconsciously thought that this mission was very, very difficult and must be an extremely dangerous mission.

They were frightened for a while and even hurriedly conceived excuses to refuse.

As a result, that's it? It simply wasted their expressions.

Killing that group of scattered cultivators who cannot mix in the Gu World doesn't need to dispatch geniuses on the Monstrosity List at all. Are you kidding them!

Long Dan took a deep breath, not taking everyone's sarcasm to heart at all, and sighed: "No matter how you think, anyway, I think the possibility that this news is a trap is the most likely."

"Although I didn't probe any factors that could threaten me, when it comes to my own life, I have to be steady."

"Under my probing, if that Spirit Sea Late Stage Gu Cultivator doesn't make a move, the only variable can be that strongest Essence Refining Peak National Preceptor."

"So I am prepared to predict the enemy generously and directly dispatch five geniuses on the Monstrosity List to join forces to kill him directly."

"I don't believe that no matter how deeply this person hides, he can beat the joint forces of five monstrosities."

"If you feel that this mission is too simple and has no challenge, you can quit now. If anyone regrets it now, it's still not too late."

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking, and no one dared to quit.

Are you kidding? Simple is simple, but who would go against the Heaven Mending Tree?

Anyone who wants to quit at this time is a fool.

If they were worried that the mission was too dangerous just now and were prepared to quit.

Then now they had no such thoughts at all, but instead strengthened their determination to join this mission. Whoever stops them, they will be anxious with them.

Now it seems that this mission clearly has no danger. This Heaven Mending Tree is no different from picking it up for nothing. If you don't want it, you don't want it. Only a fool wouldn't want it.

This is simply a good thing like a pie falling from the sky hitting their heads. Everyone showed a smile.

Long Xuan repeatedly scrutinized the information Long Dan said and truly could not scrutinize any possibility of danger.

He couldn't help but frown. Li Laodao's premonition about this mission was very dangerous, claiming that if he wasn't in this mission, everyone would die.

Then where did this danger come from? He was a little confused.

Could it be that Long Dan's intelligence was wrong? Long Xuan suddenly thought of such a possibility, but quickly shook his head.

The complete version of the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye is truly too terrifying. He doesn't believe that anything dangerous in the whole city can hide from the probing of the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye.

First of all, the possibility of that Essence Refining Peak National Preceptor hiding his realm is directly ruled out. Being able to hide his realm under the complete version of the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye is nonsense.

No matter how deep he hides, he definitely cannot be the opponent of the joint forces of five geniuses.

Could it be that the danger comes from that Spirit Sea Late Stage Gu Cultivator? But that Spirit Sea Late Stage Gu Cultivator doesn't belong to the Imperial Family's side, and the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Great Formation is enough to block the Spirit Sea Stage Gu Cultivator outside for a short time. What threat can he have?

Long Xuan was confused.

Just as he was about to ask about the detailed mission and what treasures would be obtained, his storage bag moved at this time.

He reached into his storage bag and quickly took out a communication talisman.

Ever since the Straw Gu Huts were disabled, the Long Clan had returned to primitive communication tools, using consumable communication talismans to communicate with each other, which was extremely inconvenient.

And there were not many people who left communication talismans with him, and Long Dan was one of them.

Long Xuan was curious about what he was looking for him for, so he picked up the communication talisman and looked at it as soon as possible.

The general meaning above was that he had accidentally discovered a heaven-defying treasure, so he intended to invite all the geniuses in the city to go treasure hunting tomorrow, and they would gather at the Qian Family Restaurant today to discuss this matter. This communication talisman was an invitation to him.

It's just that what treasure he was going to hunt for, Long Dan spoke vaguely and did not explain in detail at all.

Long Xuan was stunned. Could the place Li Laodao spoke of be the same place as Long Dan's?

Could it be that Long Dan was the one setting up the game?

What kind of death-seeking thing was he doing, actually wanting to drag him along?

Listening to Li Laodao's meaning, if he was not in this mission, then everyone who went tomorrow would be dead.

Long Xuan's eyes rolled, and he prepared to go over to figure out what the mission was first.

Not long after, Long Xuan and Li Laodao walked into the Qian Family Restaurant and walked towards the Heaven Number One private room.

After pushing the door open, the gazes in the room looked over in unison. After seeing the owners of these gazes, Long Xuan was startled.

Among these people, there was not only Long Dan, who was ranked first among the Ten Great Monstrosities, but also Shi Kun, who was ranked fourth, Lei Shun, who was ranked sixth, and Bai Youran, who was ranked seventh.

Coupled with himself, who was ranked third, five of the Ten Great Monstrosities of the Western Lands had actually gathered.

What on earth was Long Dan going to do, actually making such a big battle formation?

At this time, half of the Ten Great Monstrosities of the Western Lands had gathered in this room, and the others were all famous experts from various parties in the Western Lands.

Not only were there geniuses from various clans in Black Stone City, but there were also geniuses from outside Black Stone City, and even quite a few scattered cultivators with great fame.

About thirty people gathered here, all famous experts in the Western Lands, and a considerable number of them were existences with invincible combat power at the same level.

The overall quality of this group of people was truly too high, and they could be considered the elite of the elite on the entire battlefield. What mission could not be completed with this force gathered together?

Seeing that the person who came was Long Xuan, who was ranked third on the Monstrosity List, many people in the room had their pupils shrink and showed wary expressions.

"Good fellow, even the ruthless character ranked third on the Monstrosity List has come. Now five of the top ten on the Monstrosity List have arrived. What on earth are you going to do, actually needing to find so many experts!"

Lei Shun looked at Long Dan, who was sitting in the first seat, and asked eagerly.

The others also looked at Long Dan together, showing solemn expressions.

They were all called by Long Dan using communication talismans. They had to give face to the number one genius on the Monstrosity List, so no matter how busy they were, they all made time to come to attend this gathering.

But seeing so many famous geniuses appear at the gathering, everyone was shocked.

They did not know what Long Dan was going to do that actually required finding so many famous geniuses. If this matter was not very dangerous, they would not believe it no matter what.

So at this time, everyone felt vigilant and was already thinking of excuses to refuse.

After Long Dan saw Long Xuan enter the room, he showed a little surprise. This guy had always avoided war and never did any missions. He originally thought that this guy would not come, but he did not expect that he would truly appear. He felt a little surprised. Did the sun rise from the west?

Long Xuan was the last one to arrive. At this time, he had already found a seat with Li Laodao.

After Long Dan saw that everyone had arrived, he looked around and finally said: "I originally wanted to call all the top ten monstrosities on the Monstrosity List."

"It's a pity that everyone has missions to do. It's impossible for them to appear at the same time."

"I can only gather five at most. The others are also experts second only to the ten monstrosities, and their combat power is not much inferior to these ten people."

"These people include people from Black Stone City, people from outside the city, people from outside regions, and scattered cultivators, but without exception, those who can be looked upon by me basically have invincible combat power at the same level."

"With such powerful strength concentrated together, I think you don't need to worry too much about safety."

"Now let's talk about business. I think you have all heard about the matter of me killing Qin Tian, right?" Long Dan's voice suddenly stopped.

Shi Kun's mouth curled up, and he smiled: "Isn't it just killing the genius ranked first on the Great Yin Tianjiao List?"

"Isn't it a very normal thing for you, the number one genius on the Monstrosity List, to kill him?"

"There's no need to take this matter out to show off. Our ears are about to grow calluses from hearing it."

After Shi Kun finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter below.

"Of course I didn't mention this matter to show off. I'm not that bored yet."

After Long Dan took a light sip of the wine in his cup, his eyes were filled with excitement, but also with a little worry, and finally sighed: "Before Qin Tian died, he told me the secret of a heaven-defying treasure, wanting to use this secret to exchange for his life."

"You all know my personality. I have always been thorough in doing things, so after he said that secret, I killed him without hesitation, violating my oath."

"Before he died, he told me that there was a divine tree in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial City of the Black Wind Kingdom, and there were thirty-six fruits on the divine tree."

"It's just that he didn't know what the name of this divine tree was. Even if he flipped through all the illustrated books, he couldn't find any records about this divine tree."

At this time, Bai Youran suddenly interrupted: "Since you have made such a big fuss and called so many geniuses over, you must already know the origin of this divine tree. Just say it directly!"

"I will go over first; you all just need to line up and follow."

After saying this, Long Dan took out the Straw Gu Hut, placed it in the center of the private room, and immediately walked inside.

This Straw Gu Hut was still a bit small, requiring a Gu cultivator to bend over to enter, but it was still much better than the Straw Gu Hut that required crawling to enter.

Everyone looked at this Straw Gu Hut with curiosity, and some even couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

The fame of the Straw Gu was now simply too great in the Western Lands; they had long since heard of it like thunder. The Straw Gu Hut had already been veiled in a layer of mystery in their hearts.

Now that there was an opportunity for close contact, curiosity arose in everyone's hearts, and they couldn't help but want to go up and study it.

This type of Gu worm that could achieve long-distance teleportation by building houses everywhere was simply too heaven-defying, and every clan envied it.

The Great Yin Dynasty had suffered who knows how many losses in front of this terrifying Gu worm.

"Is this the little house built by the Straw Gu? It really is magical. I don't know which beast actually invented such an outrageous Gu worm."

"With such a Gu worm, the Long Clan will soar into the sky and become unstoppable!" Lei Shun looked at the Straw Gu Hut with envious eyes and sighed.

"Enough! Now is not the time to study this thing. Important matters come first. Let us teleport over first; nothing is more important than the Heaven Mending Fruit."

After Shi Kun finished speaking, he was the second to crawl into the Straw Gu Hut.

As soon as the others heard the three words "Heaven Mending Fruit," their eyes lit up in unison. They no longer cared about studying the Straw Gu Hut and crawled into it one after another...
