Chapter 5679: A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
After all, with their "quality," these people couldn't even spot the mechanisms on the pillars.
Seeing them here, battling rows of automatons, Qiaomu couldn't help but want to laugh.
It seemed her words had indeed become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What was there to say about these people?
They just kept pointlessly toiling away. Wouldn't it have been better to stay in the Middle Hall and rest with them?
Look at how miserably they'd worn themselves out now.
The group stood far away, observing for a while as per usual.
The Eastern Overlord probably felt this was a bit against martial ethics, so he lightly coughed and asked, "Madam Mo, do you think we should go over and help?"
Madam Mo waved her small hand. "It's not quite appropriate."
The Eastern Overlord's mouth twitched. "Why not appropriate?"
"These automatons can't be killed or destroyed. Look, they're pouring out endlessly from those small doors at the back."
"I think we can bypass this main entrance and go in through the side door!" Madam Mo said with a serious expression. "The Western Overlord and his group are battling the automatons. It's best not to disturb their fun."
Everyone: ...
Qiaomu led her group towards the side door.
The sharp-eyed Western Overlord naturally spotted them immediately and couldn't help but roar in surprise and anger, "What are you doing? Come help!"
It felt like these people weren't here to help at all; they were pulling their group towards an area with no automatons.
Were they trying to be unethical and leave them here to continue attracting the automatons' attention, then just bypass the main entrance and go in directly?
"Shameless scoundrels!" the Western Overlord cursed loudly.
Qiaomu and her group had by now reached a small side door and pushed it open.
The wooden door opened in response, revealing a winding pebble path that led to an unknown destination.
Qiaomu waved her hand, a look of interest on her face. "Let's go."
The Western Overlord was completely dumbfounded.
Holy cow, how could there be such shameless people in the world? They're actually using them as targets, leaving them here to continue attracting those automatons?
Are they just going to let the people from the other three domains stay here and get repeatedly pummeled by automatons, without even lifting a finger?
Shameless, utterly shameless, shameless!
The Western Overlord was so enraged he pounded his chest and stomped his feet.
The Southern Overlord was also stunned, then turned to the Northern Overlord. "Brother Northern, even Brother Eastern left with Madam Mo and her group?"
"It seems your so-called brotherhood vanishes completely in the face of difficulties."
The Northern Overlord smiled calmly, not particularly angry. "Everyone has their own mission to bear. Brother Eastern's mission is to lead his Eastern Domain people out completely. I don't blame him for his choice."
The Southern Overlord said sarcastically, "You certainly have a good temper."
As she spoke, a "thump-thump" sound of mechanisms falling to the ground came from inside the main hall, followed by a continuous "clank-clank-clank" of gears.
The automatons, which had been furiously attacking the people from the three domains, suddenly came to a complete standstill.
One by one, their arms drooped slightly to their sides, and their heads slumped down, as if their strings had been cut, becoming completely motionless.
The three Overlords still maintained their defensive stances, facing the automatons that had surrounded them.
Soon, they finally let out a sigh of relief.
The automatons really weren't moving anymore.
"Quick, let's go! They've probably reached the main hall already." It must have been Madam Mo and her group who triggered some mechanism.
Any delay will lead to changes!
