I Attained Invincibility In The Real World

Chapter 701: Chapter 384: Arrival and Deception

“`

An oppressive and terrifying aura filled every corner of the Grand Hall.

It wrapped tightly around every member of the Resistance present, as if they were plunged into an ice cave, their bodies shivering uncontrollably.

Is this the would-be terrible strength of a Universe Level Powerhouse…

Those behind Tu’er, even though they weren’t the primary targets of the Spiritual Martial King.

But due to their insufficient strength, they appeared even more wretched compared to Tu’er.

At that moment, they felt as if they were on the raging sea, at risk of being swallowed by the waves at any moment.

“Spiritual Martial King, please wait.”

Not until Tu’er extended her palm, tremblingly, to show the telecommunication device to the Spiritual Martial King.

“Whew—”

The pressure that bound everyone suddenly dissipated.

Tu’er’s figure collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

Seeing this,

The Spiritual Martial King let out a light snort.

Without any discernible movement from him,

The spherical telecommunication device detached itself from Tu’er’s palm, slowly floating in front of the Spiritual Martial King.

Then,

The light on the surface of the device grew increasingly bright.

The Spiritual Martial King also closed his eyes as if conversing with someone from afar.

So,

While Tu’er and others waited anxiously, time quietly slipped by.

After ten minutes.

“How dare you?!”

The Spiritual Martial King, whose face was already clouded with uncertainty, suddenly burst out with a roar.

Boom!!

Another wave of suffocating might erupted.

Did Branch Chief Lu Yang fail in his negotiation with the Spiritual Martial King?

Tu’er’s pupils tightened as her heart quickly sank.

She even readied the strength in her body, prepared to try and escape before the Spiritual Martial King launched an attack.

However,

The anticipated storm did not come.

It seemed that the burst of might was just an impulsive outburst from the Spiritual Martial King.

Before Tu’er could react, the pressure began to fade away.

She cautiously raised her head to look.

Only to see anger lingering in the Spiritual Martial King’s eyes, his fists tightly clenched.

But his face… showed a hint of hesitation.

For about three to five seconds.

The Spiritual Martial King closed his eyes as though adjusting his state of mind.

When he opened them again,

He had reverted to the stern expression he had when he first met Tu’er and the others.

“I can’t be bothered to quibble over what happened just now with you,” he said.

“But don’t mention forming an alliance again.”

“Get out.”

With that,

The Spiritual Martial King waved his hand, and a fierce wind instantly swept through the Grand Hall.

Tu’er and the others immediately lost control of their bodies, flying backward.

Their bodies successively hit the ground outside the Grand Hall, with a series of dull thuds.

“Ah—”

Groans rang in their ears.

Tu’er slowly picked herself up from the ground.

“Sir, does this mean our mission has failed—”

A short member of the Resistance approached her side, cautiously inquiring.

But before he could finish,

Tu’er slowly shook her head with an inexplicable smile on her face.

The short person’s expression froze, and his voice faded away.

“If the Spiritual Martial King really wanted to drive us away,”

“We wouldn’t have been simply thrown out of the Grand Hall.”

“Though I don’t know what Branch Chief Lu said to him,”

“Clearly, the Spiritual Martial King has tacitly allowed our next move.”

“Now, follow me.”

Perhaps worried that her words would enrage the Spiritual Martial King,

Only the last sentence did Tu’er utter aloud.

The previous words, however, had risen directly in everyone’s minds.

Afterward,

Tu’er first closed her eyes, then her figure leaped from the ground, heading straight for another direction of the Imperial City.

The expressions of those on the ground varied.

Some were still baffled, others seemed to be pondering.

But without exception,

They all chose to follow in Tu’er’s footsteps.

Soon,

They had already arrived at their destination.

Their landing spot was at an outer court in the corner of the Imperial City.

“It seems you’ve persuaded the Spiritual Martial King,” said a voice as soon as Tu’er landed.

Looking up and following the sound,

She saw the court was full of lush flowers and greenery.

With gently flowing water on either side, adorned with blooming lotus flowers.

The scenery was so beautiful,

That just gazing at it could make one’s mind expand and spirits uplift.

Looking deeper,

Past the corridor, a man sat on a stone bench, leisurely sipping his tea.

There could be no mistake.

At the first glance of him, Tu’er recognized the person she was there to recruit.

Chen Sheng.

“You all wait here,” she whispered to the people behind her.

Then, on her own, Tu’er walked along the corridor towards Chen Sheng.

Her steps were slow, not eager.

Eventually,

Tu’er arrived at the stone table.

She took a seat without hesitating,

Swiftly pouring herself a cup of tea, and began to sip, eyes still fixed on Chen Sheng as if she wanted to peer through his facade and into his soul.

Tu’er’s actions

Were intended to verify the genuineness of the “Chen Sheng” before her, to ensure he wasn’t an imposter.

And both in aura and appearance,

He matched the Chen Sheng that Lu Yang had shown her exactly.

Thus,

Tu’er felt somewhat relieved.

“You seem unsurprised by the Spiritual Martial King’s betrayal,” she said as she placed her teacup down.

The cup clinked lightly against the stone table.

“Betrayal?”

“What betrayal?”

Facing a Galaxy-Level Powerhouse who was an entire level above himself,

Chen Sheng chuckled, his gaze not the least bit timid.

“If you all dare to kidnap someone’s kin to force an alliance,”

“How could you be certain you won’t do other things?”

“There are probably more people than the ones here before me, now monitoring the Spiritual Martial World through the space-time turbulence, ready to capture it as soon as I flee, right?”

As he spoke,

Chen’s pupils shifted, his glance sweeping over a few Starburst-Level figures not far away.
