Chapter 194: Chapter 166: Karma Wheel

In the group, Kou Xiaowei kept glancing towards the north, her little face still filled with terror.

They had not been resting long when suddenly, a terrifying "rumbling" sound came from the distant west.

Caught off guard, everyone was shocked and they all rose to their feet. Using the weak night light, they could vaguely see a giant building that was slowly rising above the tree line with the "rumbling" sound.

Everyone exchanged glances, then almost simultaneously exclaimed: "A sinkhole!"

In the far northern forest, distant from Su Yu and the others, the mountain where they had once stayed had been excavated. The mysterious bodies of the two Fourth Order powerhouses, Gui Fantian and Huang Jingteng, had been lifted from the pit and were now lying on the ground.

By these two bodies, three shadows stood tall.

Under the night light, it was faintly visible that these three shadows were wearing outfits similar to those of Gui Fantian and Huang Jingteng on the ground. The only difference was an additional white stripe on the sleeves of the shadows’ black outfits, seemingly signifying their higher status.

In the hands of one of the shadows was a "White Tiger Token" embroidered with a white tiger’s head. In a low voice, he said, "This belongs to Situ Wuqing’s ’White Tiger Token’. Her body is not here... but according to our lord... she is indeed dead..."

"Even though Situ Wuqing was just a Fourth Order warrior, her powers were special. She could still stand against us Fifth Level beings and might not necessarily lose. What sort of opponent could have killed her?" Another shadow chimed in, his voice carrying a hint of anger and confusion.

"In this kind of forest, it is almost impossible for a being stronger than the Fourth Order to exist... Situ Wuqing’s powers could have made her invincible here... Could it be ’666’?"

"No..." The shadow holding Situ Wuqing’s "White Tiger Token" replied in a hoarse voice, "Looking at their injuries, this was done by a Black Iron Warrior. And... this is the aura of the Treasure Weapons..." The shadow then squatted down, gently ran his finger across Gui Fantian’s cracked skull, and put it to his mouth, lightly licking it. His face in the darkness looked unspeakably terrifying.

"Our lord is truly furious... For the sake of that brat from the Kou Clan, we’ve lost so many... Due to certain reasons, for us Fifth Level Black Iron Warriors to enter this forest is a taboo. Absolutely do not kill unnecessarily, do not kill any beast soldiers. You understand? Our only targets are the Kou Clan brat and those who killed Situ Wuqing."

The middle shadow murmured instructions, with the other two replying, "Don’t worry, we understand this prohibition. If we cross the boundary too much... it might lead to some unexpected consequences... Ah—" One of them suddenly sighed, his face showing a hint of helplessness. "Under the rules, all are ants... only the legendary Gold Clan can resist the rules... Aside from them, even our lord cannot..."

"You don’t have to worry too much, our lord has already made arrangements. Although we can only use it once, as long as we find the target, using what our lord has blessed me with, we can block and delay for a minute... In any case, within a minute, we must complete our mission. Otherwise, if we take action after a minute, the price might be death. Do you all understand?"

"Mm, but that kid from the Kou Clan is pretty impressive too, even burying their bodies separately, obviously trying to delay our time. But under my ’Karma Wheel’, all of this is a joke."

One of them lightly mocked, flipping his left wrist and a "ding dong" resonated. With a swipe of his right hand, a strange round wheel about two feet in diameter appeared in his palm.

This wheel was somewhat like the Buddhist Dharma wheel, but at the center, there were several pointer-like things. He received the "White Tiger Token" from another and said, "Karmic cycle... every cause has an effect... As long as there’s karma, you can’t escape the ’Karma Wheel’s control. This White Tiger Token is karmically linked to Situ Wuqing, once we find Situ Wuqing’s body, using her body, we can find the perpetrator’s whereabouts... Situ Wuqing died at his hands, they have karma... this karma, must be reversed..."

The man kept muttering to himself, suddenly let out a low howl, and the pointers in the center of the wheel started spinning wildly. Suddenly, three of the pointers stopped, each pointing in a different direction.

One of the directions was where he held the White Tiger Token, the other two directions were unknown at the moment.

The man slightly moved the White Tiger Token and the pointer that pointed at the token moved accordingly. One pointer remained stationary while the other wavered slightly.

"I see, this points to where Situ Wuqing’s body is. The direction of this slightly trembling pointer... must be the killer’s current location, that is... somewhere in the southern part of this forest."

"Boss, do we head directly to where the killer is, or should we find Situ Wuqing’s body first?" another asked.

"First find Situ Wuqing’s body, see how she was killed. I think this will help us understand the enemy. The one who could kill Situ Wuqing is no ordinary person. We must not underestimate them." The middle shadow responded in a hoarse voice. Then, the group of three launched themselves into the air and quickly arrived at the entrance of the collapsed cave in the small valley.

Seeing the collapsed stone cave, the three of them looked puzzled. One of them hesitantly said, "Situ Wuqing’s corpse is in here. Could it be that she wasn’t killed by someone, but rather got buried alive when this stone cave suddenly collapsed?"

"Why would she enter a cave like this?"

"Maybe there’s something in this cave, or maybe..."

"Enough talk. Once we find her body, everything will be clear."

The three of them got to work and quickly uncovered the body of Situ Wuqing.

The sight of Situ Wuqing’s body severed in two turned the three faces rather grim.

"She was killed by someone, and furthermore... with quite a horrific amount of force... Why would Situ Wuqing’s invisibility ability fail... Could it be that the other party has some special ability to detect the invisible?"

The leading figure in black pondered, suddenly reached out, ripped at the wound where Situ Wuqing’s right hand was missing from her body, then brought it to his tongue and licked it. His expression slightly shifted as he said, "I see, this is the taste of the Healing Powder. So, the murderer used this to track down her whereabouts, but to harm her initially... this criminal... is surely no ordinary person. They are, at the very least, of the Fourth Order... and they could even possibly be of Level Five."

"If that’s the case, then it’s even more exciting. Boss, you have an undefeated reputation among those of Level Five. Even if the killer is also of Level Five, they wouldn’t be a match for you. Boss, aren’t you excited?" another man chuckled softly.

"Hmph... I am indeed excited. To think of using Healing Powder to break Situ Wuqing’s invisibility... to be able to injure her right at the onset... and to possess such brutal power... Good, this is indeed a worthy opponent, let’s go, I’m looking forward to this."

The three figures lingered for a moment before finally leaving the hillside, speeding into the dark southern forest.

Su Yu and the others took a brief rest in the forest when suddenly, a terrible rumbling sound came from the west. With this sound, they all looked up in surprise and saw a tall building rising slowly among the towering trees. The dazzling neon lights still flickered, highlighting the four words "Riches Hotel", which was rather conspicuous against the black night.

Su Yu and the others looked at each other before collectively shouting, "A sinkhole?"

Undoubtedly, judging by the look of things, a new structure seemed to have fallen into another "sinkhole" and appeared in this forest. Judging by the name "Riches Hotel" on the sign, it seemed to be a hotel that had been sucked in this time.

"Let’s go check it out," Su Yu immediately thought of possibly finding five suitable candidates in this newly appearing building to form a symbiotic relationship with, which would save them plenty of time on their way back to school.

When they arrived nearby, they discovered that the building was at least thirty stories high. Even though the colorful neon lights were gradually going out, the grand entrance could still be seen. Clearly, this was a rather classy "hotel".

At this moment, various noises could be heard from inside the "Riches Hotel". The recent rumbling vibrations seemed to have awakened many people. Because it was now night, the people inside may not have realized that they were now in a different world, so their panic was not so acute yet.

Su Yu stopped about twenty meters away from the building.

The group behind him also noticed quickly, following the appearance of the "Riches Hotel", a group of small Goblin Beasts emerged from the forest on the other side.

There were about fifteen in number, and at this moment they were charging towards the entrance of the "Riches Hotel".

"Cha..." Just as Zhao Shichang and the others were about to act, Su Yu held up a hand to stop them and said quietly, "Everyone, keep calm and don’t be impulsive. Do you remember the consequences of our rash actions last time?"

The group immediately remembered their previous encounter with Xu Ruyun, Liu Zheng, and the other passengers on the bus. Despite their initial assistance, the people who were fated to die had died anyway, and those with the ability to survive had survived. In fact, their actions had even nearly dragged them into danger. It could be said that their intervention made hardly any difference to the outcome.

Moreover, Su Yu had another deeper thought; the appearance of these Goblin Beasts could aid him in selecting people from this building. Those who could survive undoubtedly had some potential. These Goblin Beasts could help them choose some qualified partners to form symbiotic relationships with.
