My Life Anthem Covers the Globe-Chapter 401: Schemes and Storms

"Should we take the soul crystals in the containment vessels as well?"

The man suggested earlier.

Instantly, the rest of the people on the massive ship became interested.

To them, the so-called Divine Opportunity was too vague and elusive, but the soul crystals were right in front of them. If they could loot these soul crystals, at least this trip wouldn’t be in vain.

However.

Kong Yan stopped them from taking action: "Let’s not act rashly for now."

"If I’m not mistaken, they’re using the method of containing the eerie creatures to prevent the city from being ravaged. You should have noticed that upon entering this area, the number of eerie creatures encountered has significantly decreased, and those wandering outside the city seem to ignore such a large city."

"We could indeed take the soul crystals, but it would likely lead to the destruction of an entire city."

"Although this isn’t a huge issue, don’t forget that we’re not the only ones from the Kong Family entering the Land of Calamity; there are people from other families as well."

"Imagine if our plundering actions were detected by people from other families. When we eventually return to the Holy City, it’s predictable how they would criticize the Kong Family."

In an instant, Kong Yan laid out the pros and cons of the situation.

All of them couldn’t help but feel a chill at the thought, realizing they weren’t the first to enter the Land of Calamity. Other families’ fleets hadn’t taken the soul crystals either because they hadn’t noticed or they had realized this aspect.

The possibility of the former is quite low. After all, after crossing an ocean of countless eerie creatures, if one encountered such an intact city, it’s unlikely to go unnoticed.

They might even leave some means in secret to gather evidence of other families harming humans!

This is almost beyond doubt.

Because that was their plan too!

While the soul crystals are valuable, they are slightly less important than grasping the handles of other families.

Moreover.

If they captured evidence of the ignorant fools in other families greedily taking soul crystal stones while disregarding the lives of millions of humans, they not only grasp other families’ weaknesses but could also rightfully claim the soul crystals under the guise of purging scum.

At such a thought.

Everyone felt a chill, their spines tingling.

Luckily, they hadn’t acted hastily, who knows if there are means from other families hidden within the city.

One must understand that even if they could destroy this city in a few breaths, they aren’t sure they could escape some special detection methods.

For example, the crystal talisman Kong Yan brought out.

Such a crystal talisman was crafted by a Heavenly Secret level expert, originally meant as a life-saving tool for the family’s core disciples. When damaged by external force, it could be sensed by a Heavenly Secret level elder, who could then manifest it via the Heavenly Dao to rescue them.

Though precious, he still had five more, and being reusable if not activated, using some now as monitoring methods was quite suitable.

Thus.

Kong Yan gently waved his hand, sending the crystal talisman shooting out, transforming into a stream of light that vanished into the void.

"Let’s go."

"Let’s join the excitement and see what this so-called Su God is all about." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

With that said.

The fleet restarted and surged majestically towards the distance.

At this point.

The high-level members of the city finally let out a slow breath, their expressions becoming unprecedentedly serious long after.

"Damn."

"Why does it look like these guys are not good people."

"Hmm, that person’s gaze seemed strange, like a wolf cub. I get the feeling he is quite interested in the eerie creatures in containment..."

"No way!" Someone’s gaze sharpened, disagreeing with this view.

He glanced over the containment vessels, finally fixing his gaze on the core components hovering above the eerie creatures’ heads: "Outside the city, there are plenty of eerie creatures. What they’re truly interested in is the vessel capable of containing them!"

"If I’m not mistaken, that thing must be invaluable!"

"Otherwise, it wouldn’t catch the eyes of people of their caliber!"

As these words were spoken, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.

Are you kidding?

The containment vessels are the lifeline of the city. If forcibly taken, wouldn’t the city be walking the edge of life and death!?

You must know if the other side desires to take it, they wouldn’t be able to resist at all.

"Phew, good thing they know their limits, otherwise we would’ve faced disaster." Someone felt a shiver of fear.

"Perhaps not."

"We can’t entrust the city’s lifeline to the conscience of others, money moves the heart, and we must be cautious!"

"Not everyone is like Su God, who can present treasures coveted even by Holy City experts for our safety!"

"But how can we defend against this?"

Quickly, someone suggested reinforcing the outer shell of the containment vessel. Although this couldn’t block the perception of such strong individuals, it wouldn’t be blatantly exposed before them.

However, this would require increasing patrol frequency.

After all, the original special glass shell was meant to facilitate distant observation of eerie creatures’ movements by the stationed Transcendents.

In urgency, this was the only solution they could think of.

Yet they didn’t have time to implement it before their bodies froze once more.

Because.

At the horizon, yet another fleet was speeding towards them!

...

Such scenes unfolded in other cities as well. Meanwhile, a Destruction-level Transcendent, called Su God by many, although not revealing his true form, entered the sights of those core disciples of Holy City Families.

Some were quite interested in Su Qi, while others dismissed him.

But in the end, none linked the so-called ’Su God’ to the Divine Opportunity.

To them.

A Destruction-level Transcendent was too weak.

Mortals are so ignorant, some think gods can summon wind and rain, others that they hold dominion over rules, and still others believe gods are eternal.

But in their knowledge.

A god is a supreme presence surpassing the Supreme Saint Master during certain periods.

Otherwise, the Supreme Saint Master would never have avoided speaking of ’gods’ existence. This is something only those families with Heavenly Secret level elders know some of.

Ordinary forces, not even reaching the Supreme Saint Master, have an understanding of ’gods’ that’s no more than a vague notion.
