Chapter 65 Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
On the island, Lu Chao was constantly struck by lightning.
Although he wouldn't be killed by the chop, it really hurt, like being pricked all over with needles!
The two NPCs, Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua, stood right next to him, seemingly oblivious to Lu Chao being struck by lightning, and continued to advance the plot.
Ye Cuihua said, "I really thank Junior Brother Lu Chaoding this time. I have achieved my goal and it is time to return. Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, why don't you come with me to Tian Congzhou in the Central Plains? My Ye family has a strong foundation in Tian Congzhou and our influence is no less than that of the Great Sword Sect. If you join the Ye family, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Niu Daren chimed in, "Yes, Junior Brother, let's betray the Great Sword Sect together and go to Tian Cong Prefecture! The prosperity of Tian Cong Prefecture is incomparable to this tiny Tianxing Island! Hmm? Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, why aren't you saying anything?"
Lu Chaoding then received a system notification: "Ding, plot triggered. Accept Ye Cuihua's invitation or refuse. Please make a choice; your choice will affect the subsequent plot!"
Unfortunately, at this point, Lu Chaoding had no choice.
"Junior brother, don't hesitate. Leave this small Tianxing Island. The world is vast, and I'll take you to see all its wonders!" Niu Daren urged.
Ye Cuihua frowned and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, please make a decision quickly. I cannot stay here too long; it would be bad if the Great Sword Sect's patrols discovered me!"
"Junior brother, why aren't you saying anything!"
"Junior brother, do you not want to leave the Great Sword Sect?"
Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua kept asking questions, but Lu Chaoding was so struck by lightning that he could barely even groan.
Time passed, and night fell.
Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua continued to tirelessly urge Lu Chaoding to reply.
Suddenly, the lightning stopped, and Lu Chao, who had been struck by lightning for nearly four hours, lay on the ground like a rag doll.
He felt as if his bones had turned to dust, and he had no strength left in his body.
"It's finally over..."
Lu Chao muttered something to himself. He realized at that moment that whether it was a game system or an occasionally unreliable system, it was still a system and could cause him trouble.
And this world truly doesn't respect human rights.
"Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, are you willing to betray the Great Sword Sect and come with me to Tiancong Prefecture?"
Ye Cuihua came to ask questions again.
Just then, a rumbling, deep sound rang out, as if thunder was rolling through the clouds.
Lu Chao was lying down. When he lifted his eyelids, he saw a huge sword tip piercing through the clouds in the night sky. It was radiating golden light and slowly revealing a sword body as big as a giant tower.
Niu Daren was shocked and shouted, "Oh no! It's the Grand Elder! The Grand Elder is here!"
"The Grand Elder? The Sea Patrol Elder should be patrolling the sea!" Ye Cuihua exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, let's go!"
She quickly pulled Niu Daren towards the exquisite flying boat, not forgetting to call out to Lu Chaoding: "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, hurry up and go! Don't hesitate! Ying Xunhai is the number one expert of the Great Sword Sect, and he's the most ruthless and cruel. If he captures us, none of us will survive!"
Lu Chao mustered his strength and struggled to his feet. He glanced at the 16 skeletons of Ye Linlang beside him and hurriedly went to collect them.
At this moment, these 16 [Ye Linlang's skeletons] are useless quest items, and they are even bound, so they can't be sold. But since they were obtained through hard work, Lu Chaoding felt that keeping them might still be useful.
"Junior Brother Lu Chao, hurry up!"
"It's going to be too late..."
Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua boarded the exquisite flying boat and shouted loudly towards Lu Chaoding.
Lu Chaoding regained some strength, and his mind raced. Should he go with Niu Daren and the others?
If I go with them, will I really be able to leave Tianxing Island?
This is considered leaving the starting village early, right? What benefits could there be?
But whatever the benefits, they definitely won't be able to participate in the subsequent storyline of Tianxing Island, which is a significant loss.
If he stays, will the patrolling elder, Ying Xunhai, really beat him to death?
Or could we conduct an interrogation or detain them or something?
Lu Chaoding felt a bit of a headache. After hearing Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua calling out again, he took off on his sword, thinking that he might as well run away with Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua.
But just as he took off on his sword, he stopped again.
"I can even kill the Fiery Celestial Dog, so what's a mere Sea Patrol Elder? I'll just kill him and be done with it. Why run? I'm going back to unify the Great Sword Sect..."
His eyes lit up, and he abruptly turned around, wanting to check the attribute information of that patrolman, when suddenly he heard a thunderous roar from high in the sky: "Great Universe Void-Breaking Divine Sword!"
The next moment, eight giant swords resembling thunder dragons descended from the sky. Lu Chao looked up as if facing the blazing sun, and golden light quickly filled his entire field of vision.
"Ding! You have been affected by the Great Universe Void-Piercing Divine Sword of Elder Ying Xunhai of the Great Sword Sect!"
"Ding! You have been swept into the shattered void!"
"Ding! You have left the territory of Skywalking Island and are currently adrift in the void, a special area from which you cannot escape by death. Please wait for the void to repair itself or for someone to rescue you!"
"Ding, the void repair is expected to take another 10 days!"
Lu Chao rubbed his eyes and quickly scanned his surroundings. He didn't know if Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua had been left behind. He was lying on a boulder that was floating. There was nothing around him, and it was eerily quiet. All he could see was the deep starry sky.
"The Grand Elder sent me to outer space with a single sword strike?"
Lu Chaoding was stunned.
"So, I have to stay in this godforsaken place for 10 days? Are you kidding me? I can even kill the Fiery Heavenly Dog, so what's with this Great Universe Void-Breaking Divine Sword? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? Unreliable System, are you there? Unreliable System, come out here, you piece of trash, tell me what to do?"
Lu Chao frowned. He studied it for a while longer and finally accepted reality.
That is to say, he is now like an exile, with nowhere to go. He can't even open the entrance to his private cave, he can't access the forum, and he can't even play virtual duels.
After accepting this reality, Lu Chaoding gave up.
"There are no human rights here! But sooner or later, I'll break free from this system and transcend it. My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens'. I'll make the system call me 'brother'!"
He shook his head before opening his attribute panel to check.
