The Lone SF Transmigrator in the Otherworld Forum-Chapter 161: Rat in the Rafters (1)

Aria did not stop there.

“I suppose we’ll have to use Master’s Avatars as well.”

Countless Avatars were quietly running auto-cultivation macros in the Lower Realm of the Immortal World. She was developing increasingly efficient and powerful cultivation techniques by having each Avatar learn modified methods.

“Mm. According to the data...”

Some of them were showing outstanding efficiency, enough to be distributed immediately. Additionally...

“The Murim Infantry, World rankers, and Hyperion.”

They were also forces too valuable to leave idle. Compared to the Galactic Empire’s forces, they might be mere fireflies, but they were highly flexible forces with decent potential.

In many ways, they were good supplementary forces to utilize. The Galactic Empire’s troops were already being used as main forces, after all.

“For Master’s sake.”

Her unwavering voice conveyed a sense of conviction.

***Karlstein felt a thrill at the explosive vitality he sensed in his body. As he clenched his fist tightly, power endlessly welled up from his forearm.

Just when he thought he had reached his limit, the tendons and muscles in his forearm transformed and strengthened endlessly. Along with this, his ligaments and bone density increased, enhancing his durability.

The process of his body being modified in real-time, meshing together like clockwork gears, was awe-inspiring.

Crack-

Space itself warped audibly as Karlstein clenched his fist.

Crack-

As massive power radiated in waves, it condensed to the very limits of limits.

“Hoo...”

But Karlstein unclenched his fist. The aftereffects of power spread out from his hand like ripples.

Even though Karlstein was confident in his mental barriers, this was no place to run wild carelessly.

“Hm. I’d like to do some testing.”

Bang- Bang-

Though the sound of space tearing could be heard from the punches he lightly threw in the dark space, he could hardly say he had properly tested his power with just this much.

At that moment, something entered his field of vision.

“...”

Karlstein stared intently at a certain egg resting comfortably with its plump legs drooping.

Flinch-

It seemed unfamiliar with Karlstein showing such interest.

Thump-thump-

Oddly enough, it seemed embarrassed for some reason.

“You...”

Karlstein picked up the egg. The platinum egg wiggled its legs. Was it happy or surprised?

“I’ve left you alone until now.”

Its wings fluttered.

“But isn’t it time you earned your keep?”

The egg seemed secretly pleased with Karlstein’s attention.

“Before I turn you into fried egg, that is.”

-!!

Karlstein smiled coldly as he generously massaged the egg’s stiffened wings.

***“Catch him!”

“The bastard is escaping!”

“Call for the Grandmaster!”

“Damn! How dare he intrude into the Memorial Hall!”

“We must catch and kill him!!”

Dozens of cultivators flew through the sky at full speed, their eyes crazed. Their target was a rat bastard fleeing on two legs!

“Don’t forgive him!”

“We must catch him!”

“The sect’s Divine Relic has been stolen.”

The utterly impossible had occurred!

Even as they chased the culprit, they could not believe the current reality.

How could a mere thief break through all the mechanisms, formations, and protective measures to steal the Divine Relic?

“Hahaha!”

A figure with reversed joints was fleeing at a terrifying speed while bursting into laughter.

“You little rat!”

“Stop!”

“We’re going to lose him! Don’t hold back!”

The pursuing cultivators each expended blood essence to strengthen their Flying Dharma Tools.

But for some reason...

Boom boom boom-

The ground split open along the path the culprit ran, raising mountainous clouds of dust.

Why is the distance growing?!

How can he have such insane speed?

And the direction he’s going...

The pursuing cultivators grew increasingly anxious.

“At this rate, we’ll enter Lone Wolf Sect’s territory! Senior Brother, what should we do?”

“...”

The one called Senior Brother bit his lip. Unnecessary conflict would only harm their sect. If they were to encounter the Lone Wolf Sect’s disciples...

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Trespassing into another sect’s territory was taboo among taboos.

“Isn’t that thief possibly sent by Lone Wolf Sect?”

However, his junior brother’s words made something click in his mind.

Why did I exclude the possibility that the filthy rat might be from Lone Wolf Sect?

It was because he could not imagine someone bearing a sect’s name would commit such a lowly act as stealing a Divine Relic.

These insolent bastards!

Though something felt off, anger boiled over everything else.

But there was no time to think deeply.

“Senior Brother! We’ll lose him at this rate!”

“He’s already out of sight...!”

How could he run so fast with just his body?

Before they could find an answer to that question, a commotion arose beyond the horizon.

As they approached that area, the Senior Brother discovered the truth of the situation.

So it was indeed the doing of those Lone Wolf Sect bastards?

“Lone Wolf Sect!”

“Crosswind Valley?”

Moments later, they faced off against a group of flying Lone Wolf Sect cultivators.

So they came out in person to prevent the recovery of the Divine Relic!

“After causing trouble recently, you end up doing something like this?”

“What are you talking about?”

“To be so brazen even after stealing our Divine Relic! Do you think you’ll get away with this?”

“What?”

A Lone Wolf Sect cultivator frowned with a look of disbelief. His brazen act of pretending to know nothing was infuriating.

“That’s what we want to say! Trespassing Lone Wolf Sect’s territory and brazenly talking about recovering a Divine Relic? Are you expecting us to believe that?!”

It was indeed ridiculous. Stealing the Divine Relic of a sect founder? If this news were to spread, the culprit would not be able to show their face!

Grit-

It was embarrassing to even speak of such a matter. The Crosswind Valley disciples assumed that was why the Lone Wolf Sect was acting so shamelessly.

“Silence! Lone Wolf Sect is unmatched in being thick-skinned! How long do you think we’ll tolerate your impudence!”

“What...! That’s our line! How dare you invade Lone Wolf Sect and then try to frame us!”

Lone Wolf Sect and Crosswind Valley were already on bad terms, with frequent conflicts. The atmosphere quickly became as tense as an active volcano on the brink of explosion.

But just as they were about to draw their swords, a Lone Wolf cultivator suddenly paused. After receiving a sound transmission, his face scrunched up.

“?!”

Then his face turned red.

“Our Divine Relic? And I wondered where this nonsense was coming from! How dare you target our Lone Wolf Sect’s Divine Relic?!”

“What bull is that now?!”

“You seem to be taking Lone Wolf Sect lightly because our Great Grandmaster has entered closed-door cultivation.”

“Ha! This is absurd. Are you trying to pin your own actions on us?”

A jade tablet with a wolf engraving in the Lone Wolf Sect cultivator’s hand began to emit light.

“Don’t think you’ll get away with this easily!”

“That’s my line!”

The battle began.

Boom-

However, as the two groups battled chaotically, Sound Transmission Talismans arrived for both sides.

They were facing off at a distance. Taking advantage of the moment, the cultivators each checked their talismans.

“How can this be...”

“What?!”

The leaders of both groups turned their heads and met each other’s eyes.

...!

That exchange alone was enough for them to realize the truth. They stopped the battle in great fury.

“Stop! Stop! Crosswind Valley disciples, cease attack! The Grandmaster has sent a sound transmission!”

“Every Lone Wolf Sect disciple is to stop fighting! We must return to our sect immediately! Our Memorial Shrine and Elixir Vault...!”

They looked at each other awkwardly and then nodded.

“Ahem! We’ll cooperate for now.”

“The more people we have to form an encirclement, the better...”

“Let us go! Catching the rat comes first!”

They hurriedly left the place.

However...

“He’s escaping that way!”

“The little rat bastard!”

“How did the Eight-Directions Illusory Maze Formation get breached?”

“Is this the time to mind that? Not only the Divine Relic, but even our treasury has been completely emptied!”

“Heavens, just how...”

“Deploy a Net of Heaven and Earth immediately!”

“Those below Core Formation, approach with caution! You are to only form the encirclement! Don’t lose your lives trying to block him!”

The Lone Wolf Sect and Crosswind Valley frantically chased after the culprit.

“Ahahahaha!”

The culprit’s laughter made their blood boil.

“That bastard, he’s doing this on purpose...!”

The speed of the figure with large reversed joints was so fast that even Flying Dharma Tools could hardly keep up.

“Chase him now!”

“Have you ever seen such a madman?!”

Even the Great Grandmaster, who had abandoned closed-door cultivation to come out, was being evaded by the culprit.

After chasing to the end with more than half of their sect’s forces like that...

“Stop! How dare you two come together to this place?”

“Well if it isn’t Wu Xiewang! There’s no time! We’ll explain later. Please open the way!”

“How can you say that now! How lightly do you think of our Wutong Sect!!”

“Wait, that’s not it...!”

“And it seems you’re related to the one who secretly infiltrated our sect, so you’ll have to explain everything without leaving anything out!”

“Wait. Secretly? Why is there no commotion in Wutong Sect...?”

The Great Grandmasters of Lone Wolf Sect and Crosswind Valley met each other’s eyes and their gazes sharpened.

“Wutong Sect is suspicious. When it came to us, the thief caused all sorts of commotion while stealing, but since arriving here...”

“Wu Xiewang! Rumor has it that you’ve been refining a Heaven-Defying Treasure recently... Could it be?”

Sensing that something was going awry, Wu Xiewang frowned.

“What are you going on about after barging in like this? Are you looking for a fight?”

Rumble-

Immense Spiritual Energy, incomparable to before, began to encroach the surroundings of the three.

“Let’s subdue him first!”

“Don’t let your guard down!”

“You should prepare yourselves!”

The entire Immortal Realm was in an uproar.
