Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

“What… What is your plan?” Liu Xuanxin looked at Chen Xiaobei, astonished. “Our enemy is a Ethereal Cultivation elite! He’s one huge level higher than you! How are you going to fight him?”

Xia Hanjiang and Qi Chengsheng could not think of anything that Chen Xiaobei could do to turn things around either.

“Don’t ask questions! Get back to the dungeon! I’ll get you off this island first, then I’ll think of a way to deal with Yin Wuqiu!” Chen Xiaobei replied.

“Get us off? How? Yin Wuqiu had already ordered that the island to be on lockdown. Not a single boat can leave the island!”

“I have my own ways! Hurry and go now!”

There was no time for Chen Xiaobei to explain everything to them. He led Liu Xuanxin and the two men out of the Star Picking Corner.

Chen Xiaobei had the Returning Bracelet with him, which he used to mark the secret place in the North Chasm Starfield. That was how he was going to bring everyone safely off the island.

Of course, running away would not solve their problems. Yin Wuqiu wanted blood and it was the Liu family that he had singled out! Chen Xiaobei had to stay back to nip this problem in the bud or the Liu’s would be struck down!

Chen Xiaobei even had a backup plan. If all else fails, he would have to borrow the Jingu Bang from Monkey King. He would need 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones for one minute with the Jingu Bang!

It may seem like a very short time but the Jingu Bang held the strength of a demigod, enough to destroy the entire Penglai faction!

Chen Xiaobei contacted Monkey King as they made their way to the dungeon.

Chen Xiaobei: Monkey King! Monkey King! Help! Emergency! Can you lend me your Jingu Bang for a while? It’s a matter of life and death!

Monkey King: I can lend it you but do you really need it?

Chen Xiaobei: Of course I really need it! I wouldn’t have asked you if I didn’t. I need to fight an enemy who is one cultivation level higher than me! Only the Jingu Bang can save me now! 

Monkey King: Well, I don’t think you need it! You received three High-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur on the night of Duanwu Festival, didn’t you? That’s more than enough to be used against mortal beings. There’s no need to use Jingu Bang. You’ll only be wasting Spiritual Stones!

Chen Xiaobei: What? High-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur can be used in combat?

Monkey King: Of course! But it doesn’t last long, and its destructive force is only average!

Chen Xiaobei: Then how is it supposed to save me?

Monkey King: The High-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur is best used in the fight where you want to make your enemy succumb to you without fighting them!

Chen Xiaobei: Make my enemy succumb to me without fighting them? What does that mean? My dear brother! Don’t mess with me! This is serious!

Monkey King: Have you heard of the story of how I borrowed the Plantain Fan?

Chen Xiaobei: Borrowing the Plantain Fan? Yes, of course! But what does that have to do with the High-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur? Oh! Wait! 

Monkey King: Did you just figure it out? 

Chen Xiaobei: Yeah! I just did! What the hell! I have such a powerful weapon in my hands yet I didn’t know how to use it! Oh, how embarrassing, Monkey King!

Monkey King: So, do you still need the Jingu Bang to save lives?

Chen Xiaobei: Nope! Not at all! Thank you, Monkey King for your guidance! I’ll go pummel my enemy to ground!

Monkey King: There’s something I want to add. The treasure that you have might seem weak but when used correctly, it would be able to wield such incredible power that you can’t even begin to imagine!

Chen Xiaobei: Understood! I will go back and think about it, so that every piece of my treasure can be used to its maximum potential!

Monkey King: Alright! You better go! There will be a banquet in Mount Huago in two days times! I’ll inform you then. There will be a Red Envelope Snatching Session!

Chen Xiaobei: My Brother, The Great Monkey King is the best! Bye!

By the time their conversation had ended, Chen Xiaobei and the others had already arrived at the dungeon.

Xia Hanjing and Qi Changsheng were a nervous wrecks as they related what had happened to the others.

“We heard Yin Wuqiu’s growls! We know that he was furious! We’re as good as dead!”

“Yeah! The island is on lockdown! We’re like sitting ducks in a river full of crocodiles with vultures circling above! They’ll come for us soon enough!”

“Sigh, I thought that after Mr. Chen rescued us, I could see the sky again. But now, it looks like we’re going to die… again!”

The men in the dungeon cried out. The down-beat sentiment had spread very quickly.

The two Ethereal Cultivation Faction Leaders were unconquerable. Even the lower cultivation Elders were Celestial Cultivation elites. There really was no way they could fight their way out of this.

“Don’t panic! Everyone, please stay calm! Mr. Chen knows how to get us out! Don’t be alarmed!” Xia Hanjiang and Qi Changsheng mollified the others.

Liu Xuanxin’s forehead crinkled. Even though Chen Xiaobei could get them off the island, based on their current situation, anyone with a logical mind would not believe that he could do it.

Chen Xiaobei spoke up, “Everyone, please keep quiet for a moment! I’ve changed my mind! I won’t be bringing you off the island! I want to eliminate all our enemies so that every one of you can remain on Penglai Island and savour the taste of freedom again!”

A sudden silence fell over the dungeon.

Eliminating all their enemies!

That was even harder to swallow than escaping the Island.

“Mr. Chen, you don’t have to try to appease us. We will all die today. We’ve already prepared our hearts.”

“Yeah! It’s just a life. Dying is no big deal!”

“At least, we’re dying together. We will have each other when we go to hell.”

The mood in the dungeon was dismal, and the people had lost all hope, as if death was inevitable.

Liu Xuanxin saddled up to Chen Xiaobei and whispered in dismay, “You call me your Lucky Goddess but today, I brought you bad luck.”

“Mm, yeah! Since we’re all going to die, you might as well take that scarf off and show me your face!”

Chen Xiaobei grinned.

“How can you smile when we’re about to die?” Liu Xuanxin’s frowned deepened.

“Silly woman! Who told you that we’re dying? I was not trying console anyone when I said that I was going to kill all of our enemies! I’m really going to do it!” Chen Xiaobei looked at everyone in the room, a solemn look on his face. “Whoever is after our blood, I, Chen Xiaobei, will bleed them dry!”

Arrogant!

Powerful!

Hot blooded!

Just like a grim reaper ascending from the depths of hell to the human realm, the entire place was frozen by his presence.

Ziing!

Chen Xiaobei raised his hand and threw a 100,500 combat power True Kang hand knife towards the door of the dungeon!

Thud! thud!

The heads of two Penglai disciples who had just walked in through the door rolled to the ground. The True Kang had sliced through their throats, sending red, warm blood spilling from the stumps where their heads were. They were decapitated instantly.

The men in the prison froze in shock. From Chen Xiaobei’s sudden change of Qi Field, it was clear to them now that Chen Xiaobei was not joking!

“Stay here and wait for my good news!” Chen Xiaobei instructed, before leaving the dungeon on his own.

The rest of the people remained where they were, unmoving, as if they had just been given an autocratic, imperial edict. No one, not even Liu Xuanxin, dared to disregard or rebel against it.
