78: Tell me honestly, who is the unlucky one?

Clearly, Chu Yunxuan had to take the leftmost path.

[Danger Level: 1, Complexity Level: 0, Resource Level: 0, Comfort Level: 2.]

Although there was nothing good there,

it was safe.

And he knew what resources the other three paths had.

They were indeed good, but there was no need to take risks.

Chu Yunxuan walked directly towards the leftmost path.

Jiang Ying silently followed him.

Everyone's attention was on Chu Yunxuan.

Seeing him walk to the leftmost path, and even directly enter it, everyone looked at each other.

"What should we do? Follow him or not?"

"Actually, my original intention was also to take this leftmost path."

"They didn't encounter any danger just now, while we..."

They were conflicted this time.

"Everyone!"

Zhou Fan stepped out and shouted, "Everyone, trust us! You really have to trust us!"

Huang Qianli nodded, "Although I am from the Killing Alliance, here, I genuinely, genuinely want to be a good person for once. Trust me and follow me on the third path!"

Chu Yunxuan, who hadn't fully entered, twitched the corner of his mouth.

The third path...

[Danger Level: 10, Complexity Level: 10, Resource Level: 0, Comfort Level: -300.]

Although the other two paths were dangerous, at least they had treasures.

This path, besides danger, was nothing but danger.

What a sin.

"Huang Qianli, you're taking the third path?" Zhou Fan asked.

"Yes!"

Zhou Fan nodded, "Then I'll take the third path too!"

Song Shuheng walked over, "Count me in."

Then he glanced at Jiang Ying's back.

Since she was determined to die, Song Shuheng wouldn't stop her.

He had done his utmost.

"Count me in!"

"Brothers, we came out alive together with Chu Yunxuan, we trust each other the most! Count me in."

"Me too!"

Some of the people who were with Chu Yunxuan and his group from the beginning also came to the third path.

Seeing this, the other tens of thousands of people also looked at each other.

"Sigh, although we were indeed miserable just now and those two were quite comfortable, I still think we need to trust Team Leader Zhou."

"That's right, it's better to be safe than sorry. I think it's safer to take the third path."

"The first and second paths are also viable, but never mind, let's not follow those two on the fourth path."

"Me too, although they chose the right path just now, looking at Team Leader Zhou and their performance, I'll still trust them."

"Let's take the third path!"

"..."

Out of over twenty thousand people, more than ten thousand decided to take the third path together.

The other ten thousand split into two, taking the first and second paths.

"Vice President Xu, what are you still thinking about? Come quickly! Trust me!" Zhou Fan shouted to Vice President Xu Xiangdong.

Vice President Xu Xiangdong hesitated for a moment.

He still trusted his subordinate and came to the third path.

"Fellow God Alliance and experts of the Heavenly Domain, come quickly, would I harm you? It's fine if you don't come, just don't go to the fourth path." Zhou Fan continued.

"Never mind, there are so many people on the third path, and many experts. The combat power is sufficient, it should be safer, so let's take the third path."

"Team Leader Zhou, I trust you."

"Yes, I trust you too!"

"..."

Zhou Fan looked at everyone with emotion.

"Everyone, thank you for your trust. Trust me, trust us, we won't harm you! We are all good brothers."

"Good brothers, for life!"

"Charge!"

"Let's go! Let those two go die."

...

On the other side.

"It's strange, since you got the treasure, and they wanted to deliberately isolate you, saying you're a heavenly star of solitude or cursed, so they could act against you, why didn't Zhou Fan and Huang Qianli secretly come with us?"

Jiang Ying asked curiously.

"How would I know what they're thinking, but just now, it was proven that I'm not some heavenly star of solitude, right?"

"That's true, let's not think so much." Jiang Ying nodded.

The two walked deeper and deeper.

This path seemed to lead to the deep sea.

The water by the roadside wouldn't drown them.

They could even see many beautiful corals and the scenery of the sea.

It had to be said, it was still very beautiful.

"Hey, take a picture for me." Jiang Ying handed her phone to Chu Yunxuan.

Chu Yunxuan took it and snapped a few casual photos.

Jiang Ying glanced at the photos and grumbled, "So perfunctory."

"If you were my girlfriend, I definitely wouldn't be perfunctory." Chu Yunxuan said.

"Trying to flirt with me?" Jiang Ying looked at Chu Yunxuan with a smile.

"Flirt with you? It's always girls who flirt with me, alright? You better hurry up too."

Jiang Ying rolled her eyes, "Get lost."

"Ding... Jiang Ying's favorability towards you +5."

After this trip, Jiang Ying's favorability towards Chu Yunxuan reached 42.

Mainly because the scenery along the way was beautiful.

It was like two lovers on a trip.

And by following Chu Yunxuan, she also gained benefits and avoided danger.

Although the Universal Love System was closed, the favorability quests for Jiang Ying and Xiao Qiyue were permanently retained.

Rewards would be obtained when favorability reached 30, 60, and 80.

The rewards were not low.

"However..."

Jiang Ying looked around, and at the already very high seawater on both sides.

"If this path suddenly gets crushed by the seawater, even if I'm in the Xuantian Realm, I'd probably be crushed to death directly. I always feel like there's a chance of that happening."

This feeling of insignificance in the face of the vast sea could still make people feel quite afraid.

Chu Yunxuan said, "Don't worry, it's impossible."

"How are you so sure?"

"I'm a lucky star."

"Hmm, it seems to be the case so far."

...

On the other side of the sea.

A group of soaking wet figures were struggling to swim onto the beach.

"Hoo, hoo--"

Many people lay on the beach, gasping for Qi.

Letting their blood flow freely.

And on the sea surface, a large number of corpses floated.

Slowly, more and more people returned to the beach.

Each one looked as if they had lost half their lives.

"Is that it?"

"Only corpses left?"

"Only... us left?"

"Gulp--"

The surviving Martial Artists swallowed nervously, full of fear.

At a glance,

only about ten thousand people?

Nearly twenty thousand more had died!

"Especially those who took the third path, out of over ten thousand people, less than a thousand survived."

"This? What exactly did they experience?"

"Team Leader Zhou, are you alright?"

"..."

Pfft--

Cough, cough, cough--

Zhou Fan spat out a mouthful of seawater, then started coughing.

"Can't die, cough cough." Zhou Fan said.

"Team Leader Zhou, I shouldn't have followed you on the third path!"

"I've lost half my life, almost died!"

"Alright everyone, it was all dangerous. All three of our paths were extremely dangerous, sigh."

"..."

"Blaming me?"

Zhou Fan stood up, pointing at those people.

"I saved your lives, and you blame me?" Zhou Fan looked incredulous and continued, "Didn't you hear? All three paths are dangerous, it's unavoidable. If you had followed Chu Yunxuan on the fourth path, you'd be dead by now, understand?"

"Enough, Team Leader Zhou!" Huang Qianli interrupted Zhou Fan.

He swept his gaze over the crowd, "From now on, I won't care about you either. Listen or don't listen, do as you please."

"Enough!"

Vice President Xu Xiangdong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up shakily.

"Everyone, we must unite. Whether it's Team Leader Zhou or Huang Qianli, they genuinely meant well for everyone. You're injured, aren't we? You almost died, didn't we?"

Vice President Xu Xiangdong continued, "We've gone through so many dangers and returned to shore, but we don't see those two. That can only mean that trusting Team Leader Zhou was indeed correct, and that fourth path must have been a dead end. They must already be dead."

"That's true, although our losses are great, at least there's still a glimmer of hope."

Vice President Xu Xiangdong continued, "You can choose not to trust Huang Qianli, but Team Leader Zhou is a team leader of the Heavenly Domain, my subordinate. What ill intentions could he have?"

Zhou Fan looked at Vice President Xu Xiangdong with gratitude.

At this moment, a sound came again.

"Woohoo!!"

Everyone was stunned.

Their gazes all turned towards the sea surface.

Above the sea, two figures were using something similar to a wooden board as a surfboard.

At this moment, they were surfing the waves.

Everyone: ???

Whoosh--

Chu Yunxuan and Jiang Ying leaped onto the beach.

They were still holding grilled fish in their hands.

"Huh?"

They stared at each other, utterly bewildered.

"What?" Zhou Fan was incredulous.

Huang Qianli also opened his mouth wide.

Huh?

"No... you... you guys... are you alright?" Vice President Xu Xiangdong asked Chu Yunxuan and his group, looking bewildered.

"We're fine. We just encountered a Yao Beast in the water. What Realm was it again?" Chu Yunxuan asked Jiang Ying.

"Mystic Body Realm."

Chu Yunxuan nodded, "Right, Mystic Body Realm."

Everyone: ???

Swish--

Everyone's gazes all turned towards Zhou Fan, Huang Qianli, and the others.

Their eyes filled with endless rage.

"No... no... we..."

They instinctively retreated, looking bewildered.

"heavenly star of solitude? This is your heavenly star of solitude?"

"Curse? Huh? Where's the curse? Speak up!"

"Twice in a row, you chose two paths with no danger, putting us in the most dangerous choices. I think, you're the heavenly star of solitude, aren't you?"

"Zhou Fan! You guys made me into this wretched state, what exactly are your intentions?!"

"Ahhh!!! I'll freaking kill you!"

"..."

"Everyone, stop!" Vice President Xu Xiangdong roared.

"Vice President Xu!" Zhou Fan looked at Vice President Xu Xiangdong as if for help.

Zzzzt--

Vice President Xu Xiangdong's palm surged with lightning as he stared at Zhou Fan, "Let me handle this!"

Zhou Fan: ???

Vice President Xu Xiangdong: "Zhou Fan! What a Zhou Fan! I shouldn't have believed your words! I guessed it long ago, you goddamn just want to kill me to take my position as Vice President, right?!"

Zhou Fan: ???
