Chapter 443: The Random Choice Method Really Works
“Go!” Ancestor Sui Bian gave a sharp order.

Yu Zhao’s figure vanished from the edge of the fragment together with him.

Under endless darkness, it was as if a huge black curtain wrapped tightly around the two of them.

Even when Yu Zhao spread out her Divine Sense, she still could not tell directions. She could only stick close behind Ancestor Sui Bian and did not dare leave him by even half a step.

After they sped through the darkness for the time it took half an incense stick to burn, Ancestor Sui Bian stopped.

He took out a small stick from his sleeve, rounded at one end and pointed at the other, tossed it into the air, then pinched it with two fingers.

“Go that way!” he said.

He waved his big hand and flew straight toward the place the pointed end of the stick was aiming at, not hesitating at all.

[Yu Zhao: ?]

[That was it?]

She followed in half doubt.

From then on, every half incense stick of time, Ancestor Sui Bian would throw the stick again to choose which way to go.

At first, Yu Zhao tried to remember the directions they were moving in. But later her sense of direction grew more and more confused. So she simply stopped trying to remember and instead spread her Divine Sense, quietly sensing everything around them.

The Death Rift could also be called the Voidland.

Other than the Gang Wind that destroyed divine souls, there was nothing here.

One hour passed, and Yu Zhao found nothing.

She did not feel discouraged either. After all, she had already learned about the situation in the Death Rift before they entered.

But at the next moment, without warning, a thing less than the size of a fist suddenly entered the range of her Divine Sense.

Her mind moved. She reached out and caught it.

In the extreme darkness, Yu Zhao could not see what it looked like, but from the hard touch she could tell it was some kind of metal or stone.

Yu Zhao simply slipped it into her sleeve, planning to look at it after they left the Death Rift.

Not long after she found that metal-like object, she heard muffled voices talking ahead.

There were other people nearby.

Yu Zhao said, “Ancestor.”

“Leave them alone,” Ancestor Sui Bian said. “No one will be stupid enough to attack others in the Death Rift.”

Someone had once joked that the three hours spent in the Death Rift were the three absolutely safe hours inside Godsfall Land.

Here, you would not run into the Gang Wind, you did not need to worry about Space Rifts and the ghostly ferocious beasts, and you would not even be attacked by other cultivators.

No one would waste those precious three hours on other people.

So Ancestor Sui Bian did not take the voices to heart and kept flying in the direction he had chosen.

As it happened, the direction the voices came from was right on the course they had to take.

Four more auras instantly appeared in Yu Zhao’s Divine Sense.

After a brief moment when they crossed paths, the two sides quickly separated again without saying a word.

But it was not long before Yu Zhao felt those four auras chasing after them, keeping a distance that was not close enough to be intrusive but not far enough to lose them.

Yu Zhao sent a voice transmission and said, “Ancestor, they are following us.”

“They must have lost their sense of direction and cannot find a way out,” Ancestor Sui Bian replied. “If they want to follow, let them follow.”

It was an easy favor.

Ancestor Sui Bian did not mind lending them a hand.

Yu Zhao compared the four people’s auras with Ancestor Sui Bian’s aura. Once she confirmed they would not be a threat to them, she said nothing more.

After another hour, a hazy glow appeared ahead.

“Hahaha, we are here, we are here,” Ancestor Sui Bian laughed, his laughter full of pride.

Yu Zhao could only admire him.

The Random Choice Method really worked.

With the light to guide them, the two sped up. The edge of the land fragment slowly came into view.

When the two of them set foot on solid ground, they both could not help letting out a long breath.

Flying for two hours straight was nothing to them, but the mental strain was even more tiring.

Not long after they landed, four figures appeared behind them one after another.

“Thank you, Senior, for generously guiding the way,” someone said.

Yu Zhao turned to look and at a glance saw that striking red hair.

Her gaze slid down to a round face that looked very comical.

She raised her brows and glanced over at the red haired man’s companions.

Ancestor Sui Bian looked the four over, nodded in satisfaction, and said loudly, “You four juniors are at least polite. This old geezer will not fuss with you. Go on your way.”

“Thank you, Senior,” the four said together.

They bowed together once more, then turned into streaks of light and sped toward the other side of the fragment.

After Ancestor Sui Bian pulled back his gaze, he saw Yu Zhao still looking in the direction they had left and asked in surprise, “Do you know those people?”

“I do not know them,” Yu Zhao said, “but I once heard that everyone in the Nan Gong Clan, men and women, old and young, all have red hair.”

“You even know this?” Ancestor Sui Bian was very surprised.

Yu Zhao had only been in the Middle World for a few years, yet her knowledge was already almost no less than his.

“I ran into someone from the Nan Gong Clan at the dock on Sacred Wood Star,” Yu Zhao said.

Ancestor Sui Bian’s expression turned serious. He said, “In the Middle World, the Nan Gong Clan and a few other double surname family clans are in the same camp because of old ties between their clans. They often act together. If that red fatty is from the Nan Gong Clan, the others should be from the Dongfang and Bei Ming family clans.”

As he spoke, Ancestor Sui Bian rubbed his chin. “Strange. The young masters and misses of those big family clans are all running to Godsfall Land. Could it be that a great treasure is about to appear here?”

When Yu Zhao heard this, she suddenly remembered the stone she had grabbed in the Death Rift. She quickly took it out and looked down.

“Starry Sky Stone!” she said.

“Starry Sky Stone!” Ancestor Sui Bian also shouted. Two voices rang out at the same time.

Ancestor Sui Bian was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. Pointing at the Starry Sky Stone in Yu Zhao’s hand, he said, “Where did you get that?”

Before they entered the Death Rift, Yu Zhao clearly did not have any Starry Sky Stone in her hands.

She explained, “Just now in the Death Rift, it floated past me and I happened to grab it. At that time I could not see anything, so I did not know it was a Starry Sky Stone.”

“Tsk tsk tsk! Your luck is against the heavens!” Ancestor Sui Bian said.

Starry Sky Stone could be used to build Teleportation Channels, forge starships, and even refine small worlds.

So in the Middle World, one piece of Starry Sky Stone the size of a finger was worth as much as a piece of spirit jade.

The one in Yu Zhao’s hand was at least worth three or four pieces of spirit jade.

Also, Starry Sky Stone did not appear in any pattern. Finding it mainly depended on luck.

And this piece of Starry Sky Stone had even bumped into Yu Zhao’s hand on its own.

Even someone as well informed as Ancestor Sui Bian could not help clicking his tongue in wonder.

Yu Zhao asked, “Ancestor, how many more Starry Sky Stones do we need to collect?”

“With Starry Sky Stones the size of the one in your hand,” Ancestor Sui Bian said, “we need at least five more.”

Ancestor Sui Bian held up a palm and gave it a shake.

Yu Zhao nodded and held the Starry Sky Stone out to the Ancestor, wanting him to keep it, but he refused.

“You keep the Starry Sky Stone you found yourself,” Ancestor Sui Bian said. “Take it out again when we need it.”

The corners of Ancestor Sui Bian’s mouth were raised high.

He could already imagine what kind of reaction his old friends would have when he brought Yu Zhao in front of them.

This little girl Yu Zhao really made the Ancestor look good!

That brat Yu Huai Jin had best pray that he did not appear in front of him, or he would definitely let him know that the Ancestor’s people were not ones he could bully as he liked.
