Chapter 748: Chapter 432 Nancy: Are We Really Fighting the Abyss?_2

If this opportunity yielded a favorable outcome, it would provide a strategic advantage for deeper collaboration in the future.

Su Qi had already planned everything.

The Hustlers Sect should appear openly this time, exposed for the world to see.

Then… strategically withdraw to launch various versatile businesses and acquire the resources needed for growth.

However, this was predicated on being able to safely retreat.

It was a risky gamble, but Su Qi found it worth taking.

Su Qi walked out towards the hall. At this moment, the Bell-Ringer had returned to the palace for a meeting.

There was half a month left until the town’s Slaughter Day.

According to the Bell-Ringer, that day would not mark the beginning of a slaughter but the start of a real war.

By then, it surely wouldn’t be just about plundering identities.

Su Qi pushed open the grand doors of the hall and gazed towards the mountaintop… at the World Tree Root stretching into the Star River, standing there unopened.

But it was undoubtedly the center of everything, and something would happen then.

Now…

…

Su Qi paused suddenly and turned to look beside the hall.

At this moment.

Nancy was waiting right here.

Su Qi smiled.

“Nancy, have you been waiting long? Where is Lin Jiang?”

“He… seems to have been called away by his family.”

“Is that so?” Su Qi touched his chin, “He and a friend of mine named Jiulin are quite similar, the same costume, and a sequence like Ninjutsu…”

Nancy gave Su Qi a meaningful look, full of emotions of reunion as well as shock and complexity about what had just happened:

“Let’s not talk about that for now. Can you tell me what’s going on?”

Times had changed.

This guy was no longer the young fellow who had struggled in games during their first encounter.

Though it seemed he hadn’t really struggled even back then.

Now, he was completely inscrutable.

“How should I put it?” Su Qi patted his shoulder lightly, “The Bell-Ringer owes me a huge favor, so he agreed to see me this time.”

Nancy raised her eyebrows.

What kind of favor could make an eminent being, whom everyone else viewed from a distance but dared not approach, suddenly appear and pull them directly into his domain?

Like An Xinghe before, he also did not know how Su Buxian managed to connect with the Spirit King’s son.

But this guy was sometimes just that astonishing.

Seeing that Nancy wanted to keep asking, Su Qi gently said, “…You’re working hard for the Everday Commerce to find a way out and make connections; I’m doing the same, except with different goals.”

Nancy looked slightly moved, “So… we’ve made connections with the Bell-Ringer, huh?”

“More or less,” Su Qi said softly.

It should be said now that The Hustlers Sect had connected with Gods Palace.

Nancy, upon hearing a definitive answer, couldn’t help but get excited, her eyes wide: “Is the Everday Commerce saved??”

“What do you mean ‘saved’? Have some ambition, will you.” Su Qi said calmly: “Didn’t I tell you when I invited you to join? The Hustlers Sect is destined to command respect across the universe.”

“…” Caught between excitement and skepticism, Nancy couldn’t help but retort, “Back then, I knew you were just fantasizing. Now… it seems there might be some substance to that fantasy.”

“Just some?”

Su Qi smiled and said, “Let’s go.”

“Where to?” Nancy paused.

“Let’s find and gather the rest of The Hustlers Sect members.”

Nancy bowed her head in thought: “Bai Yilin and that kid named Jiang Zhi, right?”

“?” Su Qi: “The members of The Hustlers Sect are more numerous than you imagine.”

“Is that so.”

Nancy mused to herself: “How come I heard from them that there are only a few…”

“However.” Nancy also sighed, “It seems now like you’ve been hiding them.”

“Uh, not exactly….” Su Qi started counting on his fingers, “The official ones… seem to be just a few, indeed.”

“Su Buxian!!!”

Nancy widened her eyes.

“Relax,” Su Qi said with a gentle smile. “Let’s go find them first.”

Nancy took a deep breath. “So, gathering means preparing…”

“After all, everything has a price… If we want their support,” Su Qi softly continued, “then… we need to prove our strength.”

Nancy was taken aback. “How do we prove it?”

“By gathering… We will prove it with the formidable potential of The Hustlers Sect. Demons, bishops, demigods, and even gods from the Abyss are nothing in comparison.”

Nancy was still pondering and muttered to herself, “Formidable potential, huh… You know what, Bai Yilin and Jiang Zhi indeed possess great potential, and if you count the Meteor Alliance behind them… it’s indeed feasible. Wait, what did you say at the end about ‘are nothing’?”

Nancy suddenly reacted sharply.

“Abyss? And all those suffixes!!?”

He pointed fiercely at himself. “Us?”

Su Qi just smiled slightly. “Yes, we are going to fight the upper echelons of the Abyss! This isn’t an opportunity just anyone can get!”

Nancy gaped.

“Nonsense! Generally, only the most powerful Heavenly Destiny People get such opportunities because others simply aren’t qualified to participate!”

“Did you see in that hall just now, tens of thousands of people!”

“Only a little over a hundred people had the qualifications to join!”

“The fatality in this …”

Seeing Nancy’s somewhat agitated demeanor,

Su Qi interjected nonchalantly, “So, you understand how rare… this opportunity is.”

There are over a dozen jurisdictions for the Heavenly Destiny People, continuously hosting various meetings. The number of these people is greater than imagined, but not many get on that list.

Nancy’s eyes hardened. When he thought about it, it was indeed a precious opportunity!

From the very start, he had seen it. Setting the Divine Sons aside, countless major powers were desperately showcasing themselves, hoping to gain the Priest’s favor.

The aim was… to secure that qualification!

Yet, still, many so-called major power Young Masters were left outside! They just wanted one slot to join but still found it hard to compete!

“It seems… indeed like an opportunity,” Nancy said solemnly.

Su Qi softly stated, “Just like when you became a Heavenly Destiny Person, without sacrifice, how can you welcome the future?”

“So that’s it, this was your request to the Bell-Ringer, I understand now.”

“So, how many slots do you have? Who are you planning to send?”

Nancy pondered.

After all, these positions were extremely precious; even the top major powers could only secure about five.

“Hmm?”

Su Qi waved a big hand. “This is a team-building activity for The Hustlers Sect, naturally, everyone is going!”

Nancy: “…”

He didn’t complain about how grandiose Su Qi’s statement was; instead, he just massaged his forehead. “I now understand why The Hustlers Sect doesn’t have many members.”

Su Qi remained smiling but silent.

“Let’s go.”

“In this enormous Demon Town, finding someone is not so easy.”

After all… every step involves various rule restrictions and passing through different jurisdictions. It’s not that simple and easy.

Jiang Zhi should be with An Nan and Chenxing, that team, and could be contacted through the Starfire Chip, so there’s no rush.

However, Bai Yilin was currently unreachable.

On Old Huang’s side…

Su Qi looked at the message from Gan Wencui and the location of the Holy Light Mark.

“On the other side…” Su Qi raised his head, looking towards the majestic palace giant mountain.

This was a circular pyramid structure where identity determined which levels one could access.

It would require a big detour to gather from the outermost edges.

Might as well raise his own ranking first.

“Let’s go take a look around,” Su Qi said softly. “Increase our points and rank up while we gradually gather the rest.”

Now it was about traversing various jurisdictions, maybe really having to ‘pass five levels and cut down six generals’.

Nancy nodded, but then hesitated.

“But I still have the action mission from the Heavenly Destiny People… the Priest mentioned it in the meeting before…”

“I’ve already given the heads-up,” Su Qi snapped his fingers. “Hustlers don’t need to follow meeting directives, but they can still grab the resources. Also, remember that we are now partners on equal footing with the Heavenly Destiny People.”

“Even if necessary…” Su Qi slightly smiled, a small Totem of Hong Zhong manifesting in his hand.

“We can directly report using the Bell-Ringer’s name.”
