FVN Chapter 364 Classic Scene
Chapter 364 Classic Scene
Ma Lu didn't know what Youyou and Angie had been up to after the concert ended.
Anyway, he himself continued to play Red Ridge at home, working on the planning scheme.
Additionally, he had spent 520,000 yuan all at once, exchanging for 6,400 New Value Points from No. 6, and upgraded Desktop Farm from Level 7 to Level 8.@@@@
It was like adding an extra layer of insurance for future meals supplied to the Dimensional Pirates.
By the time he finished these tasks, a week had almost passed, and Bug Egg had recharged itself.
Ma Lu then had a good sleep, adjusted his spirits, and placed it on his head again.
The white egg twitched, and soon all kinds of other eggs popped up in his mind, but this time, three connections were illuminated.
Two of the lines were already very familiar to Ma Lu; they were the two planes he had visited before, but the third line on the right was new.
That's it!
Ma Lu didn't hesitate and decisively chose the new route.
The next moment, his body, pulled by a mysterious force, gained speed and flew towards the other end of the light path.
This time, what awaited him at the end was an odd yellow egg, its surface speckled with sword and knife scars, glistening like amber.
Ma Lu didn't have time to look closely before he crashed into it.
He opened his eyes, looked around, and discovered good news and bad news.
The bad news was that he was refreshed in the wilderness again, probably in a desolate mountain, with densely packed dark clouds in the sky that would likely bring rain soon, and from the looks of it, a heavy storm.
The good news was that not far ahead of him, there was a place to take shelter from the rain, which appeared to be a temple, albeit a dilapidated one, but it was still better than staying outside.
Although there's an old saying: Better sleep in the wastes than in an ancient temple.
Having read novels, Ma Lu often wondered why the protagonists, despite finding the desolate temples suspicious, still went inside to take shelter from the rain.
It was not until today, when he experienced it personally, that he found the answer.
The leading middle-aged strong man even spoke up, shouting outside the temple, "I am Shen Zhou from the Xingtong Escort Agency. May I ask which friend has arrived?"
His voice was so powerful that it hurt Ma Lu's eardrums.
The voice that responded, though somewhat soft, was miraculously not drowned out by the rain outside and was clearly audible.
"Xingtong Escort Agency? Never heard of it."
These words were quite rude, utterly disrespectful to Shen Zhou, and caused his three companions to immediately burst into anger and curse.
"You look down on our Xingtong Escort Agency, but who do you think you are?!"
"Our Xingtong Escort Agency is well-known in Chen County, even the outlaws of the forest talk about our fearless Head Escort Master Li with great respect."
However, the soft voice just scoffed, "It seems like the top beam is not straight and the bottom beams are crooked. A head of a small escort agency dares to call himself unbeatable. Hehe, if outsiders heard this, they might think nobody capable exists in the Qingzhou Martial Arts Circle."
It was not until the mention of the crooked beams that Ma Lu heard the sound of hooves approaching from a distance, and by the time the other finished speaking, the hoof sounds had reached outside the ruined temple.
There were three horsemen, all looking rather young, with the leader appearing only slightly older than Ma Lu, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
They didn't dismount and swaggered into the ruined temple, then took off their hats.
The leader grinned at the four people from Xingtong Escort Agency and then casually uttered seven words.
"Songxi Sword Sect, He Qisheng."
Upon hearing the first four words, Shen Zhou's face changed, and when he heard the young man's name, he was even more shocked.
"It turns out to be the swift sword He Qisheng, Young Hero He, from the Songxi Sword Sect. Mr. Shen has failed to manage his men properly and has offended Young Hero He. Please do not take it to heart," Shen Zhou managed to be flexible and immediately softened his approach upon realizing that he couldn't afford to offend the visitor.
He Qisheng looked at Shen Zhou with a nonchalant smile, "By saying that, are you counting on my reputation to not further trouble you?"
Shen Zhou felt an invisible pressure and couldn't help but break into a sweat.
However, He Qisheng just smiled lightly, "Alright then, you'd better clear out quickly."
Saying this, he walked over, apparently planning to just take the spot where the four from Xingtong Escort Agency had sheltered from the rain.
Although the men from Xingtong Escort Agency were angry, they dared not speak out. They quickly gathered their things and, leading their horses, moved to another spot in the temple.
