The Elven Mother Who Fled with a Bucket—Did You Just Give It to Him When He Asked

"Your Majesty, it's bad—Chen Yi has sent his clones again, and this time he's ridiculously strong!"

"A devil, he's a devil! Tens of thousands of our kin were wiped out with a single halberd strike!!!"

"Your Majesty, let's run! If we delay any longer, it'll be too late!"

"..."

The surviving nine-headed demons returned wailing in despair.

The Eyi Matriarch, just roused from slumber, was momentarily dazed before decisively grabbing her things and fleeing.

This was not an enemy to provoke—this guy was truly unstoppable!

He was too monstrous. Just three fused clones were enough to suppress her, and nine fused clones made her tremble uncontrollably!

Who could have imagined such a terrifying existence in this barren lower realm?

Now he was back, bringing even more sinister clones than before!

If they didn’t run now, they’d be dead!

And fast!

In just two and a half seconds, the Eyi Matriarch dragged the last nine demons into the deepest void of the cosmos.

Countless spatial rifts filled the area, each leading to an unknown dimension.

With practiced ease, the Matriarch split into hundreds of millions of traces, scattering them into different rifts, then erased her own aura before diving into a random one.

With so many false leads, there was no way that freak could track her down!

The Matriarch was confident—she had pulled this trick many times, and each time, that monster had left empty-handed!

Did he really think she didn’t know his game? Every time he prepared to challenge the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, he’d come prowling around, trying to wipe her out before ascending?!

Hmph, dream on!

And just as she predicted, when two immortal clones broke through the barriers and arrived, they couldn’t tell which rift she had entered.

But so what?

Without replenishing natural spiritual energy, how long could she hide in there?

A month? Two?

At most, two and a half months!

Meanwhile, the immortal clones had self-sustaining inner worlds, unlike ordinary clones that relied on external energy. The void’s energy-draining effects meant nothing to them!

If she wanted to play hide-and-seek, fine—they’d wait however long it took!

Chen Yi wasn’t one to hold grudges. The fact that the Eyi Matriarch had stayed on his mind for two hundred years was impressive. Anyone else would’ve been erased on the spot.

Leaving the two immortal clones lying in ambush, Chen Yi’s main focus shifted to the clone dealing with Mu Chen.

"Alright, these ten for now. Notify them to prepare for their new home."

For now?! How many more did he want... Mu Chen’s heart ached again, but he obediently tagged the ten "lucky winners" in the group chat.

[Interdimensional Travelers’ Mutual Aid Group – Branch 98]

[Remaining Life Stars: It’s been almost half an hour and no help quest has triggered. What’s the group leader doing? Wasn’t he getting confronted by some bigshot?]

[I'm Building Infrastructure in Another World: What if… the bigshot confronting him is actually a scorned empress he wronged, and at that moment, her blade was just 0.01 centimeters from his throat… [Details]]

[Don't Know: Damn, that makes sense!]

[Remaining Life Stars: The group leader’s decent-looking, but still not as handsome as me!]

[Back to All Beings: @Villain in Self-Redemption, @I Won't Eat Coriander, @Fallen Genius, @Little Wife of the Demon Lord, @I Want to Have a Harem!, @I'm Building Infrastructure in Another World, @… The above ten members, please prepare to join Branch 108.]

[Villain in Self-Redemption: ???]

[Remaining Life Stars: Wait, group leader, you—]

[Don't Know: What’s going on? Group leader, what happened? No help quest triggered, so why kick these guys to Branch 108? Isn’t that the noob group?]

[I Won't Eat Coriander: Group leader, what’s your problem? Sending me—your beloved member—to a new group?!]

[I'm Building Infrastructure in Another World: "When the cunning hare dies, the hound is boiled…" Group leader, are you really doing this?]

[I Want to Have a Harem!: F you, group leader! After all we’ve been through, you’re selling us out just like that? What, scared my world’s too high-tier and you can’t handle the fallout?!]

Already frustrated from the confrontation, Mu Chen was now bombarded with accusations, making him even more miserable.

[Back to All Beings: Stop fing yelling at me! You think I want to hand you over? I have no choice! The guy confronting me is the leader of Branch 108—a freaking Tribulation Transcension bigshot! I can’t defy him! He demanded people, so what was I supposed to do, say no?!]

[Villain in Self-Redemption: And you just gave in?]

[Back to All Beings: He left me no choice!]
