301: Chapter 301 The Sixth Brother: I'm the Cannon Fodder

"Where did you bumpkins come from? Can't you see that our Green Thunder Sect has occupied this city? Get lost!"

The Cultivators in green robes at the city gate raised their weapons, shouting arrogantly at Su Changge and his group, their faces full of impatience.

Su Changge lifted his eyelids, swept a glance at that group of Cultivators, and didn't speak.

【Green Thunder Sect? Never even heard of it. Are these small fries tired of living?】

Courageous Stone, standing behind Su Changge, was instantly enraged, raising his sandbag-sized fist and preparing to charge forward.

"A bunch of ants dare to shout in front of a Saint? I'll smash you all to death!"

That group of Green Thunder Sect Cultivators had been quite fierce at first, but seeing the dozen-meter-tall Courageous Stone charging over, their faces turned pale with fright, and they scrambled backward.

"It's the War God Vanguard's remnant soul! My god! How can they control Courageous Stone?"

"Quick! Quickly activate the Sect Protection Array! No, wait, we can't beat them!"

The group was in chaos; a few of the cowardly ones were so scared they knelt down directly, knocking their heads against the ground with loud thuds.

"Senior, spare us! We didn't recognize your greatness! We'll cede this city to you! We'll leave immediately!"

Su Changge waved his hand, stopping Courageous Stone.

"Forget it, just a few little bugs, no need to wipe them all out."

He had no mind to deal with these small fries right now; his head was full of the Shattering Star Art Incomplete Manual and star cores inside the city. As long as he got his hands on them, he might even be able to get some good things to take back and show off.

Courageous Stone, hearing this, quickly retracted his hand and respectfully retreated to Su Changge's side.

"Yes, Saint, I will obey you."

That group of Green Thunder Sect Cultivators acted as if they had been granted amnesty, scrambling into the distance, not even daring to pick up the Storage Pouch they had dropped at the city gate.

Su Changge ignored them, his gaze falling on the meteorite iron city wall in front of him, and he couldn't help but smack his lips.

【Holy crap, this city wall is made entirely of meteorite iron? If I pried a piece off to sell, wouldn't that be worth hundreds of thousands of High-Grade Spirit Stones?】

【Too bad there are two old demons watching nearby right now. If I started prying at the wall, wouldn't my persona collapse? Endure, wait until I get the Shattering Star Art before doing anything.】

Su Changge remained nonchalant on the surface, standing in place with his hands behind his back, as if he were contemplating some great Dao.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing, standing behind him, looked at the city in front of him, the greed in his eyes almost overflowing.

He stared fixedly at the blurry star pattern mark on the city wall, his whole body trembling.

【It's the Sect! This is the main altar of my ancient Star Cultivator lineage! I've searched for three thousand whole years! Finally, I've found it!】

【The complete volume of the "Shattering Star Art" must be in the secret chamber of the City Lord's Mansion! And the countless star cores and ancient Magic Treasures the Sect hid! They are all mine! All mine!】

Dao Monarch Yun Xing was so excited that his fingertips were turning cold; he subconsciously wanted to walk forward, but stopped as soon as he lifted his foot.

He remembered the scene where Su Changge had casually pointed and scared Courageous Stone into kneeling, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

No, he couldn't let his cover be blown yet.

This Su Changge was unfathomable, and that idiot Blood Bone Old Demon was also lurking nearby; if he rushed up directly, he might die without even knowing how.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing rolled his eyes, and instantly had an idea.

He pretended to nonchalantly take half a step back, surreptitiously flicking a few wisps of almost invisible Star Power from his fingertips, which landed silently on several stone piers at the base of the city wall.

That was a restriction summoning talisman unique to his Sect; as long as it was activated, it could trigger the Restrictions inside the city to attack a designated target. Then, he could find any excuse to shift the blame onto Blood Bone Old Demon or those Loose Cultivators who had broken in.

Once Su Changge and Blood Bone Old Demon were worn out by the Restrictions in the city, he would come out to reap the benefits, obtaining the complete volume of the "Shattering Star Art". At that point, so what if Su Changge was a Saint? After he completed his Cultivation Technique and broke through to True Immortal, would he still be afraid of a crippled Saint who didn't know how badly injured he was?

Dao Monarch Yun Xing thought the more he thought about it, the more he felt his plan was seamless, and he couldn't help but let a subtle smile appear at the corner of his mouth.

He had just shot out the last restriction summoning talisman when he suddenly felt a faint gaze land on him.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing stiffened, slowly raising his head, and happened to meet Su Changge's gaze.

Su Changge stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a calm gaze, his face expressionless.

【Holy crap, what was Dao Monarch Yun Xing sneaking around flicking earlier? He isn't trying to mess with me, is he?】

【Something's not right; this old guy's eyes are shifty, he's definitely up to no good.】

Su Changge didn't say anything on the surface, just gave him a faint glance before shifting his gaze away, as if he hadn't seen anything just now.

But Dao Monarch Yun Xing was so scared he almost suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

His movement of placing the restriction summoning talisman just now was extremely covert; even the Blood Bone Old Demon at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage hadn't noticed it, yet Su Changge had actually seen it?

Could he know what I'm planning?

The clothes on Dao Monarch Yun Xing's back were instantly soaked with cold sweat; he stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move, even softening his breathing.

Blood Bone Old Demon, standing on the other side, had seen Dao Monarch Yun Xing's little movements clearly and couldn't help but sneer.

【Idiot, thinking you can do little sneaky things without anyone knowing? I've been watching you for a long time.】

【Once we enter the city later, I'll be the first to expose your little schemes.】

Blood Bone Old Demon didn't speak, but a hint of viciousness flashed in his dark red pupils; his gaze swept over the depths of the city, and his nose twitched.

He smelled an extremely dense aura of star cores right at the very center of the city; the concentration of that energy was ten thousand times denser than all the star cores he had devoured before combined.

If he could swallow that entire star core vein, he would definitely be able to break through directly to the True Immortal Realm. At that time, who in the entire Cangxuan Dao Domain would be his match?

Blood Bone Old Demon licked his withered lips, his eyes sweeping over Su Changge and Dao Monarch Yun Xing's backs as if looking at two already dead corpses.

These two people—one was an unfathomable "Saint," the other a traitor with Star Cultivator techniques in his hands—if he swallowed both their essence blood and Divine Soul, plus the energy of the star core vein, never mind True Immortal, even breaking through to the Emperor Realm was possible!

Blood Bone Old Demon became more excited the more he thought about it, and the blood mist around his body couldn't help but fluctuate.

Su Changge stood at the very front, sensing that the auras of the two old demons behind him were not right, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

【Fine, both schemers are up to no good; one is sneaking around flicking things, the other has blood mist practically erupting from his body. Does that mean I'm the only one here for sightseeing?】

【It's fine, you two can do whatever you want. When the time comes, I'll release a Special Effect, and you'll both have to kneel down obediently for me.】

Su Changge was steady as a rock in his heart, walking slowly forward two steps with his hands behind his back, standing before the Restriction at the city gate.

That layer of Restriction looked like a transparent film of light, covered in dense star patterns, with a trace of violent energy fluctuations flashing across it from time to time.

A Loose Cultivator who had tried to run away with the Green Thunder Sect Cultivators earlier had panicked and crashed into the Restriction, not even letting out a scream before turning directly into a pile of fly ash, and even his Storage Pouch had been ground into powder by the Restriction.

The group of Loose Cultivators standing behind were so scared their legs went soft, and they stood there not even daring to move.

Su Changge stared at the Restriction for a moment, just about to ask Courageous Stone how to break it, when Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon behind him suddenly stepped forward simultaneously, bowing respectfully to Su Changge.

The two spoke in unison.

"Senior, the Restriction is right in front of us; please, you go first."

Su Changge raised an eyebrow, looking at the respectful expressions on both their faces, then looking at the Restriction in front of him capable of killing someone at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage in a second, and almost laughed out loud.

【So this is what you were waiting for? You two schemers, you want me to be cannon fodder and touch the Restriction, right?】

【Fine, I'll play along with you.】

Su Changge nodded nonchalantly on the surface, and just as he was about to speak, Dao Monarch Yun Xing's expression suddenly changed; he clutched his chest and retreated two steps, spraying out a mouthful of blood.

"Who?! Who ambushed me?!"

Dao Monarch Yun Xing swept his vicious gaze around, finally letting his eyes land on Blood Bone Old Demon, and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Blood Bone Old Demon, was it you?! You actually dare to ambush me?"

Su Changge paused for a moment, looking at Blood Bone Old Demon.

Blood Bone Old Demon was also stunned; he hadn't done anything at all just now.

【Holy crap, what kind of act is Dao Monarch Yun Xing pulling? Is he staging a scam?】

Su Changge looked at the hint of craftiness hidden in Dao Monarch Yun Xing's eyes and instantly realized what was happening.

Oh, this old guy wanted to deliberately provoke a conflict. Once they entered the city, he could use the excuse of "being ambushed by Blood Bone Old Demon" to activate the restriction summoning talisman in advance and shift all the blame onto Blood Bone Old Demon.

What a calculation.

Su Changge sneered inwardly, but remained expressionless on the surface, speaking faintly.

"Have you finished making a scene?"

His voice wasn't loud, but to the ears of Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon, it sounded like a thunderclap.

The two instantly didn't dare to speak, bowing their heads respectfully.

"Senior, please forgive us."

Su Changge ignored them, his gaze falling back onto the Restriction in front of him, and he slowly raised his hand.

Just at this moment, as his fingertips were about to touch the Restriction, an ancient roar suddenly came from the depths of the city, shaking the entire ground.

"Who dares! To trespass into the War God Palace!"

Su Changge's heart skipped a beat, 【Holy crap? Why is there an even tougher one?】

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he saw the star patterns on the Restriction suddenly start spinning frantically, and a huge beam of light, over a dozen meters in diameter, slammed straight toward him.
