Chapter 420. The Worst Reunion (1)
Blessed Existence exploited the fact that no one in the Era of War and Chaos cared much about the trap mechanisms to make an utter fool of the murim.
‘Since we were dealing with someone like that, I thought he'd rely on arrays and trap mechanisms.'
Going back in time by around two months...
Zhou Xuchuan contacted the Shandong Branch of the Valley of Phantoms to bring someone to him. And that someone was none other than the Posthumous Genius Zhuge Shengji, the sole potential threat to Blessed Existence's plans.
Zhuge Shengji was basically dragged to Zhou Xuchuan's location against his will. Understandably, he tearfully complained about this treatment, but he didn't need long to have a change of heart.
"You actually dragged me to the middle of the enemy camp? Isn't this too much, hyungnim?! Just let me go home!"
"You might want to stay here. You'll be dealing with a trap mechanism that Blessed Existence had worked hard to set up, after all."
"I shall devote this weak body to the sake of the murim's peace, hyungnim! Now, let us reclaim the Righteous faction's heartland, its headquarters in Hefei!"
The words "Zhuge Shengji" and "valor" couldn't be part of the same sentence. Not only was he cowardly, but his social skills were not great, either. He preferred holing himself up in his room or a workshop rather than going outside and interacting with other people.
However, for some unfathomable reason, his eyes would gleam maniacally at the mere mention of "mechanisms," and he'd willingly follow Zhou Xuchuan anywhere.
In more ways than one, he was a peculiar fellow. Of course, it could also be charming in its own way. No matter how talented Zhuge Xiuluan was, Zhou Xuchuan firmly believed that she alone couldn't bring down the one-man fortress called Blessed Existence.
Zhou Xuchuan muttered, "Since an array can malfunction even with the slightest miscalculation, I didn't think you'd be adventurous enough to install trap mechanisms below it, too."
