Chapter 38: Yunzhou vs. Jinling

On the other side, Chen Yang and his group were the first to enter the Ailao Mountains. Although the poisonous miasma had been halved, everyone still donned specially-made protective suits out of caution. After all, survival in the wild was no easy feat without some advanced equipment.

However, they had barely started when they encountered a dense swarm of poisonous insects, sending chills down their spines. These creatures, having absorbed the toxic miasma for years, were now ferocious beyond measure.

...

Rong Yan’s voice grew weaker and weaker, and those long, captivating eyes had lost their usual sharpness, now dull and lifeless.

“It’s because using the blade in the left hand is more powerful, but the drawback is it’s easier to cut yourself. Hahaha…” Ye Nan cracked a rather cold joke, but it was all too true, as it had actually happened before.

This time, it was the wolf spirit who was intercepted by Lin Feng, who stood in front regardless of anything. The wolf spirit, anxious, immediately went in for a bite.

By evening, the great sun of the Immortal Realm had slowly set, and the grand gathering of the Three Realms was drawing to a close.

Ke Lin stared at her without blinking, making no move to leave, and Gu Lele, steeling herself, followed along.

Gazing at the ever-changing frozen realm, Jade Rabbit grew silent within. Back when she descended to the mortal world to visit the Kingdom of Tianzhu, she had secretly devoured countless mortals and had never spared them a thought. Who would have imagined she would one day find herself in such a situation? The clouds drift and change, beyond the reach of human foresight.

Tang Huan was not at all intimidated by Dong Hao’s so-called drastic measures. In this regard, he was an expert of the highest order.

Moreover, even if it was a trap, he had made thorough preparations, so it shouldn’t affect him.

Previously, he thought that finding Old Guai would make the investigation easier, but Old Guai had already sent Yangyang away. Now, no one knew where Yangyang was, and the trail had gone cold once more.

Mi Dou stood there gripping an oil-paper umbrella, momentarily at a loss for words. With sharp eyes, she spotted Pigsy watching the spectacle from a tall tree, and in a fit of rage, she rushed over and gave that troublemaker a sound thrashing.

“We’ve already found traces of the Red Wolf, and with Master Ling’s secret arts, we’re sure to find it. If we find it before Tian Fu and his crew, it’ll drive them mad—and we’ll have the money to buy spiritual artifacts,” Jia Yu said, pumping her fist, full of determination.

Ye Xuan’er crushed the slip of paper in her hand and gazed into the distance, appearing to think of her brother again. In her eyes, no man in the world could compare to him. The Ultimate Detachment—once she reached the third level, she would be able to visit him.

“Then let me show you how this feels,” Ling Xiao said with a wicked smile, establishing a connection with Yu Xiaoming.

Countless barbarians, beast clans, and demon tribes, some relying on a single supreme power, had dominated entire regions for ages—such was the might of divine powers.

A scene of breathtaking splendor unfolded: ethereal celestial music drifted on the air, as innumerable divine palaces and temples appeared, with painted beams, soaring eaves, cascading waterfalls, and rainbows arcing through waves, threading the panorama together.

The wild wind howled. Ning Qingyun felt more awake than ever before. Following Shao Heng’s gaze, she saw that the massive tornadoes blotting out the sky were now close at hand.

Wu Yong pressed forward. Ling Xiao had already given him the key and method to open the passage. The way was blocked by earth element, requiring a special method to clear it. He bore a heavy responsibility; everyone’s hope of escape rested on him.

“Zeng Tianyuan, do you really have to go against me like this? You’re an archer—why are you fighting me for this equipment? What use is it to you?” Zhan Wuhen’s expression finally grew dark.

Along the way, she had many things she wanted to ask, but Tang Zuo sped onward without pause, and Miaoxiu did not wish to trouble him with her questions.

Frost Moon seemed not yet fully awake. “Last night, General Chen was in high spirits and said he wanted Frost Moon’s company, so Boss Yang sent you here.” Her cheeks flushed crimson with embarrassment as she finished.
