CFSMS -Chapter 204 Ding! Your Cheat Has Come Online

As usual, the first steps were preparing the ingredients, lighting the fire, and setting the pot on the stove.

What surprised Lu Wu was that even after she had fed the spirit beasts until they were practically stuffed, there was still no sign of anyone from the Divine Spear Sect.

Hadn’t they agreed to meet today? Were they all standing her up?

Could it be exactly as she had guessed—that the spy in the Divine Spear Sect had suddenly gone “Hehehe, I’m done pretending!” before waving a hand and wiping out the entire sect?

…

Inside the Divine Spear Sect’s main hall.

All the elders were safe and sound, sitting in their chairs and sighing repeatedly. Meanwhile, the Sect Master at the head seat kept his head lowered, not daring to say a word.

He couldn’t help it.

He had made a huge mistake.

The sect’s protective mountain formation should have been under his control, but he had carelessly allowed the spy to steal the formation plate.

Now the spy had activated the grand formation and reversed its functions. The protective formation had become a trapping formation, locking everyone inside with no way out.

“Can we contact the outside world?”

Elder Jiang asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

“How about we forcefully break the formation?”

Elder Dan suggested.

He had recently refined a batch of Explosive Pills and could test their power.

“If we smash the formation by force, the resulting shockwave will destroy the entire Divine Spear Sect. You brute, use your brain.”

Elder Jiang slammed the table.

If this old fool hadn’t insisted on stealing half of his hidden rabbit meat last night, would he have been distracted enough to let the spy succeed?

The Sect Master, who had also wanted a share of the rabbit meat, nodded vigorously.

“Exactly.”

“Ahem.”

Feeling guilty, Elder Dan immediately lowered his head like a quail.

Who told Old Jiang to be dishonest? He wanted to eat alone. Since when was sharing forbidden?

“Don’t worry. I noticed something was wrong at the time and secretly sent several disciples away beforehand. They’ll seek reinforcements.”

The formation was actually much easier to break from the outside.

Everyone relaxed slightly.

Meanwhile, the disciples carrying the sect’s hopes were hiding in secret, leaderless and uncertain.

Several major roads within the Divine Spear Sect were guarded by the spies’ people. The moment they revealed themselves, they would be discovered.

They were outnumbered and would suffer in a direct confrontation.

At present, there was only one path left.

“I think Boss Lu is an expert in disguise. She’ll definitely be able to save our Divine Spear Sect.”

The senior sister gazed toward the depths of the mountains, her eyes shining.

“I agree.”

“Same here.”

“Me too.”

“In that case, let’s go ask Boss Lu for help.”

The senior sister made the final decision and led her junior brothers and sisters back into the mountains.

They were genuinely seeking outside assistance.

Absolutely not because they were craving Boss Lu’s food.

This was spirit beast territory, full of dangers, and the spies didn’t have enough manpower to guard this area.

When the Divine Spear Sect squad arrived at Lu Wu’s stall, they were greeted by a bizarre scene.

A group of spirit beasts, all fat and round from eating, were sprawled across the ground begging Lu Wu for pets.

As for Boss Lu herself…

She wandered among the fluffy creatures, casually reaching out to stroke whichever beast caught her fancy.

Leopards, tigers, and other fearsome predators became oversized house cats under her hands.

After hearing about the Divine Spear Sect’s situation, Lu Wu felt that her reputation as a prophet had become even more firmly established.

However…

Looking at the disciples squatting on the ground gnawing rabbit heads while tears and snot streamed down their faces, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

Anyone seeing them would think they were deeply worried about their sect.

In reality…

They were being destroyed by the spice level.

Was this really necessary?

As for their request, Lu Wu gave it serious consideration.

At first, she intended to refuse.

After all, she was merely a mid-Golden Core cannon fodder character who wasn’t even good at fighting. Going there would basically be delivering herself to the enemy.

Yet in the end, she agreed.

Because her cheat had finally arrived.

In the middle of the crowd sat an old man slowly eating a rabbit head.

Having already survived the trial by fire known as ultra-spicy snail noodles, the old man handled the spicy rabbit head with ease.

It was none other than Grandpa Li.

Unlike Qin Zhan and the other tool characters, who had to trek through mountains and forests to find Lu Wu, Grandpa Li had set out the moment he obtained a clue and successfully found her that very morning.

After confirming that Lu Wu was safe, he reverted to being the neighborhood Grandpa Li, his thoughts occupied entirely by food.

The tender yet chewy rabbit meat was soaked with rich braising sauce.

One bite filled his mouth completely, and his jaws worked nonstop.

The amber-colored meat glistened with bright red chili oil, while the numbing fragrance of Sichuan pepper danced across his tongue in joyful celebration.

When he finished the rabbit head, a lingering fragrance remained between his teeth and lips.

Grandpa Li thoroughly licked the sauce from his fingertips before stretching and standing up.

Full stomach.

Time to work.

The real reinforcement was Grandpa Li.

Lu Wu was just there to eat sunflower seeds and watch the show.

What Lu Wu didn’t expect was that the moment she moved, the spirit beasts moved as well.

They insisted on accompanying her to support her.

Unable to refuse their enthusiasm, she accepted.

Hundreds of spirit beasts followed behind the group.

Wherever they passed, hidden beasts dared not reveal themselves.

Any beast foolish enough to bare its fangs at Lu Wu would immediately be mobbed by the fluffy army.

The resulting violence was both bloody and brutal.

“Beside Boss Lu, you can call me Mimi.”

“But outside…”

“I’m Lord Tiger.”

Mimi, having returned to his original form, charged at the very front like a bolt of lightning, eliminating every beast that appeared.

With his actions, he was proving his position as the Number One Mimi.

The procession was enormous.

Dust billowed into the sky wherever they went.

Outside the Divine Spear Sect, a spy stared at the rolling cloud of dust emerging from the mountains and frowned.

A bad premonition swept through him.

“Go investigate.”

Wu Liang ordered his subordinate.

They were members of the Fallen Immortal Society.

Their original mission had been to infiltrate the Divine Spear Sect, steal its secrets, and spread ghostly energy throughout the sect.

Once the sect descended into slaughter, they could harvest vast quantities of flesh and blood essence for cultivation.

Members of the Fallen Immortal Society worshipped desire.

This time, the desire they pursued was slaughter.

To achieve this goal, Wu Liang had climbed all the way to the position of sect deacon and even gained control over internal examinations.

His preparations had been laid long ago.

All he needed to do was wait until the Ghost Gate fully opened before detonating everything.

Who could have predicted that they would be exposed?

The Divine Spear Sect’s purge had come without warning.

Fortunately, they had planted numerous pieces on the board over the years. One of those pieces detected the danger and reported it, giving him the chance to steal the formation plate.

Being discovered didn’t matter.

The Ghost Gate would fully open within days.

For now, all they needed to do was trap everyone.

When the time came, they would flood the Divine Spear Sect with ghostly energy, forcing the cultivators to slaughter one another while they reaped the benefits.

“Hehehehe…”

Wu Liang let out a sinister laugh.

It was finally his time to shine.

He had heard that the Fallen Immortal Society branch in South Province had been having a terrible time lately.

Many of their branch sites had been destroyed.

Not only were their performance metrics terrible, but several deacons had died as well.

If this operation succeeded, he could rise from deacon to elder.

When that happened, he’d definitely mock his old rival stationed in South Province.

“Deacon Wu! Report!”

A scout returned in panic.

“What is it? Why are you so flustered?”

Wu Liang frowned in displeasure.

These people were his core followers.

They would be climbing the ranks alongside him in the future.

If they lost their composure over every little thing, people would laugh at them.

“T-there’s… there’s a beast tide!”

The subordinate couldn’t calm down at all.

He had nearly scared himself to death.

When he went to investigate, he discovered several hundred spirit beasts charging in this direction.

Many of them were stained with blood, clearly having slaughtered numerous other beasts along the way.

The murderous aura rising into the sky was so intense that one glance was enough to give someone nightmares.

He was about to wet his pants.
