Chapter 228 Coming Out
[Ding! Xibohou Jichang has established a kingdom and proclaimed himself king, and he has attacked Shang and captured Jinjiling! ]
Hearing this, Luo Shu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said softly:
"I expected Ji Chang to become king. After all, with the support of the Chan Sect, the war against Shang was inevitable."
"However, what I didn't expect was that the army attacking Shang was moving so fast and had already taken Jinji Ridge."
He paused, thought for a moment, and continued:
“You know, in the previous life’s Conferred God Battle, the one guarding Jinji Ridge was Yuan Feng’s son—Kong Xuan.”
"However, it is precisely because Kong Xuan is now in Sanshan Pass, teaching the two brothers Huang Tianxiang and Huang Tianhua."
"Otherwise, if Kong Xuan was transferred to Jinji Ridge, how could Ji Chang's army take Jinji Ridge so easily?"
[Ding! Host, please select a task as soon as possible! ]
The system couldn't help but listen to Luo Shu talking to himself.
So, he reminded him and asked him to choose the task quickly.
Luo Shu was slightly startled, and came out of his deep thoughts. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There was a hint of amusement in his voice:
"Oh? The system is urging us so urgently, is there something special that needs to be done?"
The system did not directly respond to his teasing, but simply repeated the cold reminder.
[Host, please choose the task as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity. 】
Hearing this, Luo Shu couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of ridicule and helplessness in his laughter.
"System, you are a single dog with no partner, why are you so anxious?"
system……
But then, Luo Shu stopped smiling and became serious.
"Forget it, forget it. Give me a few minutes to think about it. Which of these three tasks should I choose?"
After saying that, Luo Shu shifted his gaze to the system panel, looked at the three tasks in front of him, and began to think in his mind.
His eyes paused on the first task, and he muttered to himself:
"Task one, go to Sishui Pass alone to help. This mission is not impossible. With my own strength, I can temporarily stop the Zhou army outside Sishui Pass. However..."
Having said that, Luo Shu shook his head slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"However, you cannot choose Task 1. The reason is very simple. The reward is too perfunctory!" There was a hint of mockery and dissatisfaction in his words.
After completing so many tasks, Luo Shu knows very well that when choosing a task, one should not only consider the difficulty of the task, but also weigh whether the reward behind the task is worth one's effort.
Then, Luo Shu shifted his gaze to Task Two and Task Three. The abacus in his mind started clacking, calculating the pros and cons of each choice.
"Task 2 and Task 3, in terms of rewards, are both good. However, overall, Task 2 is more cost-effective."
Luo Shu pondered in his heart, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Task three, to stay in Yufu Mountain and preach to Yuan Hong and others for three years, is a bit unrealistic."
"According to the speed of Ji Chang's army, it would be possible for them to capture Chaoge City in two years, let alone three years."
Thinking of this, Luo Shu couldn't help but shake his head slightly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"So, for Task 3, the deadline to complete the task is too long. Even though the reward given by the system is a bit tempting, it is not enough for me to sacrifice three years to complete it."
Thinking of this, the balance in Luo Shu's heart completely tilted. He took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm and bright again.
"As for Task 2, it is absolutely a must!"
"Bringing Yuan Hong and others out of the mountains to support Da Shang is a decent mission. Although there are many dangers during the catastrophe, it is also an opportunity."
"Furthermore, in terms of previous lives, Yang Jian, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi are all on the list in their physical form."
"Even Yuan Hong was initially trapped in the mountain, river and state map of Nuwa."
"If Jiang Ziya hadn't borrowed Lu Ya's Immortal Slaying Flying Knife to behead him, perhaps Yuan Hong wouldn't have died."
"From the Conferred Gods in the previous life, it can be seen that all of these disciples under my tutelage are people with great fortune and luck."
Thinking about it this way, Luo Shu felt that choosing Task 2 was undoubtedly the wisest move!
Furthermore, the reward for Task 2 is too good to be true; it is an innate killing treasure that can hurt saints - the God-killing Spear!
Therefore, based on the above analysis, Luo Shu has already made up his mind.
"System, select Task 2!"
As soon as Luo Shu finished speaking, the system prompt sounded in his sea of consciousness.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for choosing Mission 2. Please lead your disciples to leave Yufu Mountain as soon as possible and go to Sishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Qinglong Pass for support to complete the system mission.]
When he heard the notification tone indicating that he had successfully selected the task, Luo Shu felt as if a huge rock had fallen from his heart, and an indescribable sense of relief and joy surged in his heart.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then his figure turned into a stream of light, instantly penetrating the restrictions of the secret room, leaving behind a faint afterimage.
……
In the Cangqiong Hall, the candlelight flickers and the fragrance lingers, everything seems so harmonious and peaceful.
At this moment, a dazzling white light cut through the sky and landed accurately in the center of the hall. When the light dissipated, it was revealed that it was Luo Shu who had returned from the secret room.
He stepped lightly on the air and slowly landed on an ancient cushion. He closed his eyes and concentrated, circulating the spiritual power in his body to resonate with the vital energy between heaven and earth.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with determination and majesty. He looked towards the direction of Yufu Mountain, exerting all his spiritual power and calling out loudly:
"Yuan Hong, Yang Jian, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, Nezha, Xiao Bai, and Lei Zhenzi, come to the Sky Palace immediately!"
The sound echoed in the Cangqiong Palace, shaking people's hearts like thunder, and then turned into an invisible wave, passing through the heavy clouds and mist, spreading to every corner of Yufu Mountain.
After hearing Luo Shu's voice, Yuan Hong and others came out from their respective caves, with a hint of joy in their eyes, and they all murmured to themselves:
"Master has come out of retreat! That's great!"
Immediately, streams of light emerged from all directions of Yufu Mountain, all flying towards the Cangqiong Palace.
After a while, Yuan Hong, Yang Jian and others arrived at the Cangqiong Palace.
Just as they were about to bow and ask for instructions according to etiquette, Luo Shu's gentle and deep voice came from the hall, like a clear mountain spring:
"No need to be polite, come into the hall!"
The few people who heard the voice straightened their not-so-messy robes and walked into the Cangkong Palace.
Entering the hall, the first thing that comes into view is Luo Shu sitting upright on a cushion.
At this moment, he was resting with his eyes closed, as if he had become one with the world. A faint aura surrounded his body, and people dared not disturb him easily.
However, the arrival of Yuan Hong and others still made Luo Shu open his eyes slightly.
His eyes were gentle and deep, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong and the others quickly walked up to Luo Shu, bowed down, and said in unison with undisguised respect and awe in their voices:
"Disciple greets Master, congratulations on Master's advancement in cultivation!"
Luo Shu raised his hand gently, and a gentle force lifted up Yuan Hong and others so that they no longer had to kneel.
"Get up."
After hearing what the Master said, Yuan Hong and the others stood up straight, with curiosity in their eyes, wondering what important matter the Master Luo Shu wanted to tell them.
Luo Shu nodded slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly:
"Today, I asked you to come here and talk about the matters of going down the mountain to help the business!"
