Xiong Ba: “Everyone in the group, I feel like a transmigrator may have appeared in our world too!”
Lu Yu: “Xiong Ba, what exactly is going on? How could a transmigrator appear in your world?”
Xiong Ba: “You all may not know this, but ever since I reviewed the world structure that Lu Yu shared, I’ve been paying close attention to the state of our four realms. Recently, a major incident occurred within my Tianxia Society—Duan Lang has actually defected!”
Xiao Yan: “Isn't Duan Lang defecting from your Tianxia Society something expected? I’ve also looked through the world structure before. That Duan Lang is quite talented, but he’s never truly earned your favor. His dissatisfaction and subsequent defection seems pretty reasonable, doesn’t it?”
Xiong Ba: “That’s not quite right. Although I used to look down on Duan Lang, recently I’ve been trying to show him goodwill.
I even summoned him in secret and hinted that I intended to take him as a disciple, even letting him take charge of a hall in the future.
At the time, Duan Lang was extremely excited and grateful. And over this past period, I had also been making arrangements for this.
But for some unknown reason, just yesterday, Duan Lang suddenly defected from Tianxia Society, and what’s more—his strength had suddenly soared.
I sent my three disciples together to chase him down, and not one of them was his match. All were defeated by him alone.”
Lu Yu: “How could that be? Duan Lang's strength was impressive, but as of now, it should only be comparable to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. How could he escape unscathed against all three of your disciples? It certainly seems like something is off with him.”
Xiong Ba: “Exactly. After Duan Lang’s defection, I still can’t be sure what his situation really is, so I haven’t issued a pursuit order yet. I don’t want to completely push him to the other side. That’s why I’m here asking everyone in the group—what’s the deal with Duan Lang?”
Xiao Yan: “Given the current situation, there’s a high chance Duan Lang is a transmigrator. But it could also be something else. Don’t forget, in Storm Riders II, there was an old man who was always lurking.”
Xiong Ba: “You’re talking about Di Shitian?”
Xiao Yan: “Yes, exactly. Di Shitian. I read some theories from other users in my past life. Many believed your Tianxia Society had always been under Di Shitian’s observation since its founding. I suspect it’s possible Di Shitian secretly passed martial techniques to Duan Lang, causing his strength to surge.”
Xiong Ba: “That shouldn’t be the case. I’ve also looked into Di Shitian, and at this time, he shouldn’t have made an appearance yet. Even if he did pass on some martial arts to Duan Lang, there’s no way Duan Lang could’ve increased his strength this much in such a short time.
Previously, I confirmed Duan Lang’s power was only on par with Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng. But in just a few days, his strength has more than doubled!
Given that, I highly suspect he’s a transmigrator!”
Lu Xueqi: “If it’s as you say, then there’s a good chance Duan Lang really is a transmigrator—similar to how Qi Hao is in our world.”
Xiao Yan: “Miss Lu, how is the situation with Qi Hao on your end?”
Lu Xueqi: “Same as always. Recently, Qi Hao snuck back onto Xiaozhu Peak again, using the excuse of apologizing to me to get close. I rejected him outright and fought him. He lost and was blasted off Xiaozhu Peak once more.”
Lu Yu: “Well done, Sister Xueqi! That transmigrator Qi Hao is no match for you.”
Lu Xueqi: “Qi Hao’s current strength is indeed lacking compared to mine. But as a transmigrator, I can’t help but feel somewhat uneasy about him deep down.”
Lu Yu: “But Sister Xueqi, there’s no need to worry too much. That transmigrator Qi Hao has repeatedly snuck into your Xiaozhu Peak trying to get close to you. It seems likely that his system may require interaction with others to grant rewards. So long as you avoid seeing him, Qi Hao’s strength probably won’t grow too quickly.”
Lu Xueqi: “That’s probably true. I’ll need to be more cautious around Qi Hao from now on. But based on what Xiong Ba said, if that Duan Lang really is a transmigrator, then you might be in some danger later on, Xiong Ba.”
Xiong Ba: “I’m aware. It’s just that I don’t know how to handle the situation right now—should I continue the hunt, or let him go to avoid conflict?
After all, from what you’ve all said, those transmigrators are extremely unreasonable. If I really clash with one of them, even with my strength, I’m not confident I could win.”
Although Xiong Ba was the overlord of his realm and highly confident in himself, after learning about the strange nature of transmigrators through the chat group in recent times, he no longer felt assured about dealing with them.
After all, those transmigrators were far too bizarre. According to Lu Yu, all of them possessed Golden Fingers—cheat-like powers that defied reason when it came to leveling up.
Xiong Ba’s current strength was the product of decades of bitter cultivation, but for those transmigrators, sometimes all it took was checking in at a location, or completing a simple task to gain power at lightning speed. As the leader of Tianxia Society, he truly felt he might not be able to hold his ground.
Xiao Yan: “Xiong Ba, I don’t think you need to agonize over this. From what I experienced in my past life, the transmigrators who end up in your world will definitely come looking for trouble with you.
Because in that world, you’re seen as an early-stage mini-boss. As soon as those transmigrators become strong enough, they’ll come to challenge and defeat you without fail.
So really, your clash with them is already fated—there’s no escaping that battle!”
Xiong Ba trembled at these words.
Xiong Ba: “Damn it, how could this happen?! Damn transmigrators, how did I become the villain in their eyes?
Throughout my life, though I’ve ruled with a heavy hand, I brought peace to the North after conquering it and reduced casualties among the people. How could they see me like this? Damn it!”
