Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: You Choose Black, I Choose White

The Great Han suddenly outpaced Zi Yunwu and Gangdan, but his figure soon came to a halt. At that moment, the Great Han plunged his sword into the solid cliff face, then leveraged his strength to leap upwards with his sword, although this jump was noticeably lower than the first. Meanwhile, Zi Yunwu and Gangdan kept ascending lightly into the sky.

Four men stepped out from among the Great Han’s followers. They exchanged glances, then started to climb up, one sword and one cut at a time, imitating their leader’s method. The others, after weighing their abilities, decided to give up.

"What should we do, my lord?" someone from the Handsome Man’s side asked.

"Hmph, only those crude people like Kuang Zhan would come up with such a crude method. Didn’t I tell you to bring the large Magic Circles on the Magic Scrolls when we set out?"

"Oh right, look at my memory!"

He slapped his head and hastily took out a Magic Scroll from his bosom. Accompanied by a spell chant, the Magic Scroll slowly opened, and soon a dazzling white light radiated from it. In a short time, a huge Magic Circle appeared beneath their feet, and the group began to float up and slowly fly towards the mountain peak.

"There are too many people, everyone other than the Eight Sword Guards, get down," the Handsome Man’s irritating voice came from above as they reached a certain height.

"Yes!"

The crowd immediately complied, and in a moment, more than a dozen swordsmen jumped down from within the Magic Circle. Now, the Handsome Man quickly flew upwards with eight individuals.

Members from the three major forces have been making their way up one after another, but those dressed like assassins still stood motionless on the spot, their leader staring straight at you. You laughed and said, "Hey, why are you looking at me like that? I know I’m handsome, but I’m really not into men."

"You jest, my friend. Aren’t we all waiting for your next move?" The leader of the men spoke quite earnestly.

"Waiting for me? What for? I can’t fly, so I can only wait down here. Don’t forget, I’m just a small mercenary from the Beauty and the Beast Mercenary Group."

"Small mercenary? If every ’small’ mercenary in your group has that same grandeur you just showed, I’m afraid your leader would already be dominating the entire Believers Continent."

"Heh," you yawned casually, "I don’t understand what you’re saying, but I’d advise you to hurry up and follow them. Because I really have no interest in Asuna’s Treasure."

Your smile was very sincere.

"You... really have no interest in that thing?"

"What thing?" you asked.

The man read something from your expression, then stamped his foot fiercely, cursing, "Damn it!"

After saying this, the man led twelve men in black up the cliff with peculiar movement techniques.

"Heh, mission finally completed, it feels so good to be alive," Kaidi said with a sigh of relief behind you, patting his shoulder, "That was really scary just now, never knew you were so formidable."

"Just luck," you smiled.

"Our mission is complete, it’s better to retreat from here sooner rather than later," Dak approached the two and said, "You, after we get back I’ll commend you to the Camp Commander, you’ll become a full member soon."

"You guys go ahead, I still have something to do." You had no intention of leaving.

"What is it?"

"To go up there and take a look," you said, as you casually plucked up a small grass beside you, then immediately turned into a ray of light shooting into the sky.

"Mu Yun!" Dak and Kaidi called out at the same time.

By the time everyone came to their senses, a smile finally cracked on Dak’s eternally stoic face, "Kaidi, it seems we indeed rescued someone quite remarkable this time."

"Yeah, I have a hunch for some reason," Kaidi said, looking at the thick clouds in the sky.

"What kind of premonition?"

"Following him, there’s promise."

As the purple mist and the man in the black robe slowly ascended through the dense clouds, a beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds to create a passageway.

"Hmm?" A hint of curiosity emanated from within the purple mist.

"My lord, it seems someone is ascending faster than us."

"No matter, no one can take what I desire from me." This pleasing voice was filled with absolute self-confidence.

In fact, you had long since discovered the mechanism leading upwards and had let others go first out of safety concerns.

Originally, you were worried that the mechanism might be slow, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, you were already standing atop a massive cloud.

Using the Seal of Truesky, you discovered a peculiar stretch of water about ten meters ahead; it was so vast and boundless that you couldn’t see the other side with your sight.

"Boom!"

As you took your first step, the water area underwent a tremendous change: the previously calm surface instantly churned with thunder and lightning, and from time to time, thunder arrows shot out from the clouds.

Left with no choice, you had to look for some sort of vessel to cross this body of water.

Indeed, not far away you found a large wooden sign stuck on the clouds, inscribed with the common language of the Believers Continent: "If you are a good citizen, a kind person, a hero, a saint, if your heart is kind, passionate, upright, and flawless, then please go to the left and select a white cloud, and stand on it; if you are scum, a degenerate, a bad egg, a scoundrel, if your soul is dirty, sly, cunning, and venomous, then get the hell to the right, choose a black cloud, and stand on it!"

After seeing the wooden sign, you fell into deep thought. As written on the sign, there are indeed some round black and white clouds to the left and right. As you pondered the meaning of the words on the sign, people from the four groups had already arrived safely; the last to arrive was the cheerful Great Han.

"Oh, oh! You sure are fast, lad! Damn, I was scared half to death when the mountain suddenly disappeared halfway up, good thing my lady is meticulous, she made sure I took the Flight Magic Scroll with me."

Great Han walked over to you nonchalantly. Seeing you deep in thought while reading the sign, he tilted his head and read the words on the sign: "Hey, what does this phrase mean?"

"Hmm."

While everyone was contemplating the wooden sign, you walked silently to the right. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, you leaped onto a black cloud.

Then, you began to fly upwards on the black cloud.

Without waiting for others, you flew towards the sky above the lightning-riddled waters. However, as you had just flown out, several thunder arrows came shooting at you, all of which you dodged.

"Whoa, seems quite thrilling." After saying this, Great Han burst into laughter, and like you, he jumped onto a black cloud and chased after you.

"My lord, shall we fly over ourselves, or...?"

"You pick black, I’ll pick white," Zi Yunwu stated indifferently. Her words were few but carried an authority that one couldn’t defy.

"Yes."

"Young master?"

"You choose black, I choose white," the handsome man hurried to catch up with Zi Yunwu, and as he somersaulted in the air, ready to gracefully land on a white cloud, his foot suddenly found no purchase, and he fell through the air, landing on a cloud just as a bolt of lightning struck, turning the handsome man instantly into a charred figure.

"Young master!" The subordinates of the handsome man quickly gathered around him.

"I’m... I’m fine."
