2178 Takagan Desert(Chapter preview)

The other areas started to fall into chaos. However, because of the large distance, news did not manage to spread all the way. As such, the competition here continued.

Sima You Yue went to watch every single match. The feeling of watching from the platform was really different from watching it with everyone. Sitting here, she had to watch every single participant. She no longer had to watch any one person, and did not have to bother about who would end up in first or second place.

What rendered her even more speechless was that after Xia Chang Tian obtained the pill recipes, he did not show up to attend a single part of the competition. He merely let her sit with the various vice presidents.

It was a good thing that those contestants did not mind. It was fine as long as Sima You Yue was there.

The alchemist competition continued for seven days, and those presidents did not appear at al. Sima you Yue figured that they had gone to deal with the issues regarding the camps. She wondered whether or not they wanted to take advantage of Sima You Yue's presence to make use of the time to do this.

On the afternoon of the day that the alchemy competition ended, Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior came to look for her. At that time, she had just returned to her place of residence. It seemed like he was rather anxious.

She went to look for Wei Zi Qi and the others to ask them to come along with her. This was something that they had agreed on beforehand.

"If it was like how it was before, then it would be fine. However, right now, I'm afraid that it will no longer be possible." Bei gong Tang said.

"Did something happen?" Sima You Yue asked. She saw that the four of them were rather hesitant and asked, "Does it have to do with the black robed men?"

"Yes." Bei Gong Tang nodded, "We received news from the valley in the afternoon. They want us to return to the valley first. They said that recently, many people have been killed by the black-robed men."

"They have already emerged." Sima You Yue sighed, "But why haven't they already come to attack me?"

"We don't know." Fatty Qu said, "We will go and investigate the black robed men. If there is any news, we will let you know."

"Alright. Then you should be careful." Sima You Yue was still worried as she called Huan out, "Can you send them there for me?"

Huan hesitated for a moment, "I can ask some people to send them there."

"That is fine as well."

Huan opened the portal to the underworld. Very quickly, dozens of people appeared from the portal and came over.

"Greetings Young Miss, we are the left and right emissaries." They knelt on the floor in greeting.

"Rise." Sima You Yue waved her hands.

"Young Miss, is there a reason you asked us to come over?" The leader asked.

"I want you to help me guide a group of people and ensure their safety. Can it be done?" Sima You Yue asked.

"It can. Before we left, the King instructed us to listen to Young Miss' instructions."

"Then I will have to trouble you." Sima You Yue said. Then she turned to Bei Gong Tang and the others and said, "Initially, I planned to stay with you guys for a period. However, this will have to do for now. We can travel the continent together later on."

"Alright!"

"You guys definitely have to be careful!"

"We will. You too. Don't do things that are too dangerous."

She was worried about them, but they were even more worried about her. That was because of all the crazy things that she always did.

"I know. You guys can go." Sima You Yue nodded at them.

"Your subordinates take their leave."

With the men from the underworld leading them, Sima You Yue did not have to worry for their safety. She called Little Seven, Little Lucky and the others who were playing around outside to return and was ready to leave with Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior.

After waiting for Little Seven, she went to tell the elders about what happened with the black robed men and used the time to say goodbye. The presidents had been busier than usual these few days, and it was the first time they heard about the appearance of the black-robed men.

"It seems that we have to quicken our pace." Xia Chang Tian said.

"Since this situation has something to do with you, why don't they go and look for you directly?" Xue Chang Lin asked.

This question again!

Sima You Yue shook her head, "I don't know either. However, they've appeared for now at least, so it will be easier to check on them. It might even be possible to find out whether there's any pattern amongst these things."

At the very least, they had to figure out why they did not come to look for her directly.

Little Seven came back with Little Lucky, Little Seven and the others. Little Seven said that he bumped into Su Luo on the way and was with Su Tian Yu. Sima You Yue thought about it, then got Xia Chang Tian and the others to take more care of them. If anything happened to the two of them, her aunt and uncle would be very sad.

After giving them the proper instructions, she kept Little Seven and the others away into her spirit pagoda. Then, she hugged onto the camouflaged Little Lucky and left with Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior.

The Takagan Desert. The last time they returned, so much had happened. Now that they had returned, it was as if she could see the scene of what happened back then.

With Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior around, she no longer had to enter using the idea that she had come up with the last time. She also did not have to be as cautious as she was before.

Little Lucky's long hands were wrapped around her arm, and his little body swayed on her body, treating her like a rocking chair. Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior walked beside them, but he did not berate him.

One had to know that Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior was usually very strict with his child. He never let him play around. Nobody would expect that he would actually allow him to play. Furthermore, for a young master who was close to nobody, the fact that he would actually play so intimately with a human was something that made everyone very curious about the identity of this human lady.

"Your Honor."

"She is an honored guest of our clan. Nobody is to offend her, but you don't have to pay attention to her either. Do what you are supposed to do." Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior ordered the clansmen around him.

"Understood."

Sima You Yue watched the ancient spirit beasts scatter. Most were in human form. Those who were not humans were still much older than the current spirit beasts.

"I will now bring you over there." Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said to Sima You Yue.

"Alright." Sima You Yue hugged Little Lucky, "I want to go somewhere with your father. Stay here and play by yourself, okay?"

"I want to go with you." Little Lucky was unwilling to come down.

"The place we want to go to is rather dangerous. You cannot go there. Wait for me to return, then I'll play with you, okay?"

"Since it's dangerous, I have even more reason to go. I want to protect you!" Little Lucky called out.

"Get down." Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior ordered icily. It took just a single glance and Little Lucky obeyed. However, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Sima You Yue patted his head, "Once you're bigger and stronger, you can protect me. Alright?"

"Alright!" Little Lucky became a lot happier after she said this.

She placed Little Lucky down, and she was tickled by the reluctant look on his face.

She stretched out a hand and ruffled the furs on his head, "I will definitely come back."

Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior could not stand seeing his son acting so disgracefully. He grabbed onto his tail and tossed him in a random direction far away.

Simple and cruel.

"Let's go." Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said.

"Alright."

Supreme Fifth Spirit senior took her to a small gap between the mountains. Sima You Yue realised that this was the place near to where she had wiped them all out. Thinking about how she had moved so many of his clansmen away, she rubbed her nose a little sheepishly.

"This is the place." Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior said, "if we continue forward, there will be a barrier up ahead. That force is not always either, either. It only reacts after a certain period of time. In half a day's time, it will happen again. Let's wait here."
