CFSMS -Chapter 240 When Being Human, You Really Shouldn’t Show Off Too Much

Faced with these lazy disciples, the little people responded by giving each of them a kick.

“Off you go!”

After patting away the nonexistent dust on their clothes, the little people also said goodbye to Lu Wu. Of course, Dong Baimei, the spy, left with them as well.

Western Province, outside the Scar of Heaven.

An invisible barrier seemed to split heaven and earth into two halves. The barrier standing ahead blocked the way forward.

A group of people stood outside the Scar of Heaven, constantly checking the One-Realm Pass.

“How long has it been?”

The leader wore a flashy red robe. His collar was open, revealing pale collarbones and a small portion of his chest. His features were gorgeous, and every movement carried a seductive charm.

His name was Zi Gong. He was an elder of the Fallen Immortal Society.

But do not misunderstand. He was different from those trash supervisors. He had truly experienced trials of blood and fire before reaching the upper ranks of the Fallen Immortal Society.

Above him, there was only the cult leader.

As the second-in-command of the Fallen Immortal Society, his purpose this time was to release the demon sealed inside the Scar of Heaven.

He personally took charge here to ensure that nothing went wrong.

At this moment, they were waiting for news from Dong Baimei.

If she could bring out the Rainbow Stone, they could use its supreme power to break the barrier and silently release the demon.

“Elder Zi Gong, it has already been fifteen minutes past the time we agreed on, but there is still no news from Supervisor Dong.”

“I’m afraid…”

The sentence was left unfinished, but everyone understood the meaning.

“Hmph. This seat never expected her to accomplish anything.”

Zi Gong did not care.

In any case, these supervisors had been suffering defeat after defeat. If the Fallen Immortal Society pinned its hopes on them, when would it ever accomplish anything?

Thinking of the news sent from Southern Province, Zi Gong sneered.

Previously, the attempt to release the demon’s avatar suppressed beneath Heavenly Buddha Temple had failed, but that did not matter.

Back then, the one sent there had only been a small puppet. Since the other party had not acted carefully and was discovered, there was nothing that could be done.

This time, he would personally take action. There would not be any problem.

“Then should we continue waiting?”

His subordinate asked cautiously, not daring to anger Zi Gong.

“No need.”

Zi Gong waved his hand and walked to the edge of the barrier, standing with his hands behind his back.

The corner of his lips carried a smile that was not quite a smile, and the tails of his eyes tilted upward.

He raised his head slightly. His long hair fell loosely around him, and the collar on one side slipped down a little, revealing a hint of skin.

His entire person looked charming and bewitching.

Zi Gong’s features were extremely striking, possessing a powerful visual impact.

His subordinates were dazed for a moment, then hurriedly lowered their heads under Zi Gong’s icy gaze, not daring to look again.

“Tsk…”

Zi Gong chuckled softly. His fingers landed on the barrier, and his power began to circulate.

After spiritual energy poured into it, countless pillars of light rose around the barrier with him as the starting point. These were the preparations he had secretly laid earlier.

Even without the Rainbow Stone to break the formation, it could still be done. It would merely cause a bit more commotion.

“Prepare yourselves.”

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pillars of light turned their spearheads around and aimed at the barrier in unison.

“Break for me!”

With an angry shout, the pillars of light collided with the barrier. In an instant, fierce winds swept between heaven and earth.

Explosive light covered everyone’s vision. The out-of-control spiritual energy forced some subordinates with insufficient cultivation to retreat again and again. Only after moving over a hundred meters away did they manage to steady themselves.

Zi Gong stood in the wind, unmoving as a mountain.

Looking at their elder’s back, the disciples’ blood boiled with excitement.

“Freeze!”

Zi Gong’s voice came from within the chaos. Those raging winds were suppressed by him with one hand, and the sand and stones fell back down.

Heaven and earth returned to clarity.

Crack. Crack!

In front of Zi Gong, many cracks appeared on the barrier.

The barrier had split open.

As the final fragment fell away, Zi Gong narrowed his eyes and looked at the man who had suddenly appeared ahead. His gaze carried both scrutiny and wariness.

It was Gu Yan.

Gu Yan casually glanced at Zi Gong, then looked into the farther distance.

“Hm?”

Gu Yan found it a little strange. After so many years, there was actually still someone on the Western Province continent who had karmic ties with him.

He pinched his fingers and calculated. Some memories flashed through his mind.

“Ah, it’s Boss Lu.”

Gu Yan smiled lightly. His irritable mood from being woken up while sleeping peacefully at home finally calmed down.

“This time, consider yourselves lucky.”

He did not want to go meet Boss Lu covered in blood.

Gu Yan stared at Zi Gong. His tone was gentle, yet Zi Gong sensed endless coldness from it.

Zi Gong lowered his head and cupped his fists with both hands.

“Senior, this junior is an elder of the Fallen Immortal Society. This time, we invited Senior out of seclusion because we hope Senior can help us with a small matter.”

“Senior, your divine abilities are vast. I imagine that with just the lift of a finger, you could easily resolve it.”

“Of course, we have also prepared a suitable gift. We sincerely request Senior to take action.”

Zi Gong respectfully spoke while keeping his gaze on the ground.

Before this demon, he did not dare act recklessly.

“Elder, Elder…”

After speaking, he maintained his lowered-head posture and waited for Gu Yan’s response. Unexpectedly, he heard his subordinate calling out.

Zi Gong frowned.

Did this group of subordinates have no brains? Why were they interrupting at a time like this?

Ignoring his subordinate, Zi Gong spoke again.

“Senior, as long as you state your request, there is nothing our Fallen Immortal Society will not agree to.”

If he could bring this great demon back to the sect, perhaps he might even be able to become the cult leader someday.

“Elder!”

After he finished speaking, Gu Yan still made no sound.

Instead, his subordinate spoke up again, which made Zi Gong somewhat angry.

“Shut up!”

He scolded sharply, turning his head to look at that subordinate with a fierce gaze.

If they angered this demon, all of them would die here.

The scolded subordinate had just rolled a sentence to the tip of his tongue, only to be forced to swallow it back down. He looked strangely in Zi Gong’s direction, but ultimately shut his mouth.

“Senior, if there is anything you need us to do, please feel free to command us.”

Zi Gong continued raising the stakes.

He believed his sincerity was more than sufficient.

Wearing a confident smile, he waited for the other party to agree.

He waited and waited…

“Caw, caw, caw!”

A crow passed by and cried out.

There was still no movement in front of him.

Was this demon really so greedy?

Zi Gong sighed inwardly. He prepared to offer a few more points of sincerity to move the other party.

“Senior, I…”

As he spoke, he lifted his head slightly, wanting to observe this senior’s expression and act accordingly.

But in the next second, Zi Gong cracked.

“Where is he?”

Where was the huge person who had been standing right in front of him?

Gu Yan had left long ago.

In other words, all those words he had just said had been him talking to himself, speaking to the air.

Realizing this, the muscles on Zi Gong’s face twisted.

“What happened?”

He looked at his subordinates with an ugly expression.

Did none of these people know to remind him? Or had they deliberately watched him make a fool of himself?

“Elder, it’s a misunderstanding! This lowly one tried to say something just now, but you were the one who told this lowly one to shut up.”

The subordinate felt very wronged.

He had clearly spoken up to remind him, but had been cut off.

However, after seeing Zi Gong’s sinister gaze, the subordinate knelt down.

“It is this lowly one’s fault. This lowly one deserves death ten thousand times over. Please punish me, Elder.”

Although the subordinate admitted his mistake aloud, he was actually extremely unconvinced.

What kind of lousy evil cult was this? These days, they were still making people take the blame?

When he went back, he would have to quit the cult. Otherwise, if he kept kneeling every day, his knees would become loose.

After making a fool of himself, Zi Gong’s expression changed several times before he flicked his sleeves and left.

His face hurt.
