Chapter 522 "Strange Number, Thirty-One (p1)"

Once Chen Minzhi finished flipping over his half of the tablet for all to see, Cong Lu also did as well by showing his half. Together, one had the number "three" engraved on it while the other had the number "eleven". Combining those two characters together, that equaled to the number "thirty-one". If their guesses are not off, the strange number indicates they needed thirty-one members as the second condition prior to entering the second cave tunnel, otherwise it wouldn't activate!

Technically the person wasn't wrong in his logic. The Kai Jiang Manor originally had eleven, but they unfortunately lost one due to the person's carelessness while reaching this spot. Now adding in Hong Ming Yue's team and the rest, the numbers still hovers around twenty-nine in total only, and that's in light of Feng Shen and Dao Nu's arrival just now.

It's no secret to everyone partic.i.p.ating in this venture to want less compet.i.tion, imagine what sort of mixed feelings they must be feeling now to learn their efforts in eliminating the enemy just turned out to be their own downfall. What sort of iron was this?

“We still lack two more. In that case, why don't we go back and knab the Phoenix Lord's remaining members. If I remember correctly, there's still that lolly girl and brute back in the fourth cave tunnel before my party left." Hong Ming Yue suggests from the side despite her unwillingness to benefit others.

The two precious Nine Realm Reincarnation Dan pills that she came for have already been taken by others and there's nothing notable of valuable left in this place. If she doesn't press on to fresher pasture then it would mean she's going back empty-handed. Whether it be for her family's sake or her own ego, that's an outcome she wouldn't permit by any standard.

“They can't enter the number two cave tunnel, I will not permit that.” Feng Shen's not going to allow this to happen.

If he also puts Lan Caier and Little Crow into danger while Ling Yue's whereabouts remains unknown, then he would be the greater sinner to everyone whom he cares for.

In response, Hong Ming Yue immediately scoffs a grunt of disdain over the boy's proclamation.

She's hated the Phoenix Lord ever since that incident at the clothing store back at Da Xia, that's why she had such negative opinion of the boy. But then just as the ice beauty was ready to throw some sarcasm in the foe's way, what she got in return was a cold hard glare that shook her soul.

“I say we bring Brother Hou Qi over instead,” it was then that Princess Qing Bi adds her own suggestion and reduced the tension.

“I don't have any opinion on this, anyone will do for me so long as we get the last two." Chen Minzhi grinned playfully. From the onset, his appearance looked very spooky for some reason despite the lack of threatening air.

As for Cong Lu, the royal guard captain didn't speak. It's as if he's contemplating something in his own head and couldn't be bothered to take part in the argument.

For a while there, nothing moved due to the differing opinions until a soft feministic voice interjected itself. “Why not add us to the number then?”
