C632 Let Me Come out
King Ster is approaching!
After repeated unsuccessful attacks, he decided to get closer for another strike. On the Invincible Cannon Car, Woo Zhengyang and Lee Yuanye both wore worried expressions. The barrage of attacks had already pushed the Invincible Cannon Car to its limits. Even one more hit would force Woo Zhengyang and Lee Yuanye to retreat into the Star World.
Now that King Ster was closing in, the Invincible Cannon Car wouldn't withstand even a single blow from him!
"You two need to hide quickly! If you hide, he'll target us instead!" Xuan Qixing's urgent voice rang out.
But how could Woo Zhengyang and Lee Yuanye hide? If they did, King Ster would indeed shift his focus to the members of the Great Desolate Ancient Clan. King Ster's power was undeniable, especially after his weapon was enhanced, doubling his combat strength. The clan members were no match for him; even if they hid underground, King Ster would uproot them one by one, like pulling carrots, and kill them.
Having already witnessed so many people perish to clear a path for him, Woo Zhengyang couldn't just hide away.
"Boss, that fool is really coming. Should I hand the spirit treasure to the guy in the black robe?" Lee Yuanye asked.
Receiving a spirit treasure from Xuan Qixing was a huge surprise and a significant boost for Woo Zhengyang and his group.
With this mystical treasure, they could bring either Yun'er or the Black-robed Holy Nun into play. One is a Martial Emperor, the other a Martial Lord; both are formidable allies for Woo Zhengyang and his group.
Their primary target is naturally Yun'er, who possesses peak Martial Emperor prowess. However, the journey ahead is fraught with unimaginable dangers. Yun'er hasn't fully recovered from her previous injuries. Recently, during their visits to various Martial Mansions, they managed to gather some wood-element treasures to aid her recovery. They decided not to disturb Yun'er, planning to wait until she absorbed these treasures.
As for the Black-robed Holy Nun, she’s their backup plan. They’re reluctant to hand over the mystical treasure to her unless absolutely necessary, fearing a situation beyond their control.
Now, it seems they've reached that critical point. Yet, even summoning the Black-robed Holy Nun might not be enough to resolve this.
"I'm afraid the Black-robed one can't handle this guy either. Looks like we have no choice but to interrupt Yun'er!"
"The wood-element treasures Yun'er is using for healing are already scarce. If we interrupt her now, she might struggle to regain her peak state anytime soon."
"There's no other option!"
"Wait a minute! You have a mystical treasure? Give it to me, let me out!"
The voice of the Black-robed Holy Nun suddenly came from inside the Invincible Cannon Car.
“Whoa, you're back again!” Lee Yuanye was startled.
Since their last heated exchange, the Black-robed Holy Nun had cut off communication with the outside world, but now she was speaking again.
“Quit the chatter and get that treasure in here!”
“You fool, do you even know what's going on outside? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
“It's just a divine pet, right? From what I've heard, it's not very quick. I should be able to handle it.”
At her words, Woo Zhengyang and Lee Yuanye exchanged glances. She somehow knew what they had encountered. It made sense; with something as critical as entering the Human Ancestral Land, she wouldn't just sit back. However, she seemed unaware of the treasure, suggesting she hadn't been paying attention when Xuan Qixing gave it to Woo Zhengyang. Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until now to speak up.
The question now was whether to give her the treasure. If she took it and ran, they'd all be in trouble.
“Give it to her!” Woo Zhengyang said, handing the treasure to Lee Yuanye.
He chose to trust the Black-robed Holy Nun.
The road ahead would only get more perilous. Without mutual understanding and trust, without the ability to work together wholeheartedly, reaching the core of the Ancestral Land would be nothing but a pipe dream.
Given the situation, it's better to make a decision now. If any issues arise here, they might still have a chance to resolve them. But if they get trapped in a more dangerous place, there might be no way out.
"Alright!"
In the heat of the moment, Lee Yuanye decisively took the mystical treasure and entered the Invincible Cannon Car.
"Don't you dare run, you lowly creature! King Ster wants to turn you into mincemeat first!"
Seeing Lee Yuanye enter the Invincible Cannon Car, King Ster was furious. A barrage of silver light shot through the sky as he quickened his pace to catch up.
"What are you two kids doing? Hurry up and get into your spatial artifacts!"
Xuan Qixing and the members of the Great Desolate Ancient Clan were all on their feet, trying to stop King Ster. But with the mountain on their backs, they couldn't keep up with his speed and could only watch anxiously.
Woo Zhengyang was ready. If the Black-robed Holy Nun didn't show up in time, he planned to take himself and the Invincible Cannon Car into Star World.
However, that wasn't necessary anymore.
The energy hatch of the Invincible Cannon Car opened, and the sacred relic of the Moon Light Martial Mansion transformed into a bright, full moon, rising slowly into the sky.
The members of the Great Desolate Ancient Clan were stunned.
They hadn't seen the sun or moon for thousands of years. Even though they knew this moon was just a magical artifact, it still gave them a sense of familiarity.
The main issue was that they just couldn't figure out who these little guys really were, each one showing off an endless array of tricks...
King Ster came to a halt. It wasn't because he remembered something, but rather because he had a habit of getting confused whenever something happened.
"Hey, Black-robed Sister, let me go! You can't repay kindness with betrayal!" Lee Yuanye's voice suddenly echoed from the moon above.
Woo Zhengyang took a closer look and couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Lee Yuanye.
Whenever Lee Yuanye and the Black-robed Holy Nun bickered, he often claimed that the Holy Nun she mentioned was a fake. He even described what the real Moon Palace was like, talking about Sister Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit, and Wu Gang who endlessly chopped at the osmanthus tree...
At that time, the Black Robe said she would get a tree for Lee Yuanye too. Now, there really was a towering tree there, and Lee Yuanye was tied to it...
The Black-robed Holy Nun ignored Lee Yuanye's pleas, simply watching King Ster in front of her, her expression hidden beneath the robe.
"Why is there another bug here? What's that glowing thing behind you? Is it a gift for King Ster?" King Ster asked.
He completely forgot that when he first saw the Invincible Cannon Car, he asked the same question and ended up getting one of his eyes blinded by Lee Yuanye.
