Chapter 330: The Person Buried in the Deep End of the Earth
Kong Qing told Yu Huang, “I’m fine. I just thought of some things and was distracted.”
“You’re just a kid, but you have a lot of thoughts.”
Kong Qing hugged the cloth bag and snorted. “I am a seven hundred year old monster. In front of me, you are the kid.”
Yu Huang was embarra.s.sed.
“It’s getting late. Let’s not look for lotus flowers today. Go back and rest.”
When Kong Qing saw the monsters floating in the grievous energy, he asked Yu Huang, “What about you? Aren’t you coming back with me?”
“I want to continue training.”
“Oh.” Kong Qing pointed towards the north of the Broken Cliff. He said, “That place used to be an ancient battlefield ruin. There’s a very terrifying energy there. Even us monsters don’t dare to approach that place. If you want to find powerful monsters, you can go there.”
Kong Qing reminded her to be careful and ran back to the cave.
North?
The north was the place that had the least resentment in the Broken Cliff. Neither Lin Jiansheng nor Yu Huang had ever been to the north. However, Kong Qing said that the north was the most dangerous place in the entire Broken Cliff.
What exactly was hidden there that made Kong Qing sound so fearful?
Yu Huang thought for a while and followed Kong Qing back to the cave.
Jian Sheng was woken up by their conversation. He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and said angrily, “Can’t you two be quiet for a while and let me have a good sleep?”
Seeing that Lin Jiansheng was awake, Yu Huang walked over and said to him, “Don’t sleep, Mentor. Let’s go to the north.”
“North?” Lin Jiansheng frowned and said, “There are few grievances and fewer monsters there. Why are you going there?”
Yu Huang took a look at Kong Qing and told Lin Jiansheng, “Kong Qing said that there are extremely terrifying things in the north. The monsters don’t even dare to approach the north.”
Lin Jiansheng looked at Kong Qing.
Kong Qing nodded. “Yes,” he said. “I’ve been to the north once before, but the aura there was so terrifying that no monster dared approach it. So we had to come back.”
“Is that so?” Lin Jiansheng pondered carefully and suddenly felt that Kong Qing’s words made sense.
The entire Broken Cliff was the base camp of the vengeful spirits. Logically speaking, the north should be filled with resentment aura barriers, but the resentment aura there was pitifully thin. This was illogical.
Unless there was something there that made them afraid to approach.
“Let’s go and take a look!” Lin Jiansheng carried Kong Qing on his back while Yu Huang carried Yu Huang. The family of four left the cave and headed straight towards the north of the Broken Cliff.
The interior of Broken Cliff was s.p.a.cious, and the empty cave was at the southeast side of Broken Cliff. To go north of Broken Cliff, one needed to cross half of Broken Cliff.
It took them three days to finally reach the north of Broken Cliff.
Not only was the northern part of the Broken Cliff thin in resentment aura, but even the spider web in the sky was thinner than other places. Sunlight pa.s.sed through the translucent poisonous mist and sprinkled on the plains in the northern part of the Broken Cliff.
Logically speaking, there was sunlight here, and there was less resentment, so there should be vegetation everywhere. However, there were no plants on this plain. As far as the eye could see, it was a plain paved with small gravel.
On the plains, one could occasionally see a skeleton or a pile of bones. It seemed that in the war years, planes often dumped corpses here.
As soon as they approached the north, Kong Qing, not daring to say anything else for fear of alarming the existence of something, grabbed Lin Jiansheng’s ear tightly.
Under Kong Qing’s influence, Lin Jiansheng and Yu Huang, not daring to speak loudly, subconsciously held their breaths.
The northern plains stretched as far as the eye could see. As a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master, Lin Jiansheng could see everything within 10,000 meters with his naked eyes. He looked around and shook his head. “I didn’t see anything suspicious.”
But Kong Qing said, “But there is indeed something terrifying here.”
Lin Jiansheng frowned and muttered, “What exactly is it?”
“Maybe that thing isn’t on the ground, but…” She stared at the barren plain beneath her feet. “Underground,” she said thoughtfully.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng immediately summoned his psychic power. His psychic power transformed into countless tiny tentacles that took root in the soil beneath his feet. Those tentacles kept burrowing downwards. After about two thousand meters, they were suddenly blocked by a fiendish aura!
“Ah!” Lin Jiansheng suffered a backlash from that energy. He suddenly knelt on the ground and vomited blood.
“Mentor!” Yu Huang hurriedly held Lin Jiansheng’s arm. Seeing that Lin Jiansheng had actually vomited blood, Yu Huang was truly frightened. “Mentor, what’s wrong?”
The blood in Lin Jiansheng’s chest churned as he said in horror, “An extremely powerful existence is buried underneath. That energy can easily counter my psychic attack.”
Lin Jiansheng wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and said, “Can you think of a way to contact the Grand State Master?”
Yu Huang nodded. “I’ll try!”
Yu Huang took out the emergency distress talisman that Mo Xiao had given her and crushed it.
In the next second, the Grand State Master, who was in the royal palace of the Divine Moon Empire’s capital, suddenly opened his eyes wide. He stared at the wisp of smoke that had suddenly ignited in the air in front of him and suddenly reached out to grab it. His figure disappeared from the Divination Tower.
Thinking that Yu Huang’s life was in danger, the Grand State Master tore open the s.p.a.ce and very quickly, his figure appeared on the plains to the north of Broken Cliff.
At this moment, only ten seconds had pa.s.sed since Yu Huang crushed the distress talisman.
Yu Huang looked at the slender figure that suddenly appeared on the plain. A touch of emotion flashed across her eyes. Mo Xiao came so quickly. He must really care about her.
At this moment, it was early morning in the Divine Moon Empire. Mo Xiao had just woken up and had not had the time to change his clothes. He was still wearing the pajamas he had worn when he was sleeping. It was a set of light golden pajamas. The silk pajamas were stuck to Mo Xiao’s fair skin, making him look even more handsome.
Mo Xiao was not wearing the Grand State Master hat. Only then did Yu Huang realize that Mo Xiao was also bald.
Lin Jiansheng stared at Mo Xiao’s bald head and felt puzzled.
They were both bald, but why did the Grand State Master look like an extraordinary handsome monk while he looked like a gang boss who was going to rob others?
Mo Xiao saw that Yu Huang’s arms and legs were intact, and there was also a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master, Lin Jiansheng, beside her. The nervousness in his heart instantly turned into calmness.
“G.o.dfather.” Yu Huang smiled at Mo Xiao and bowed.
Mo Xiao walked in front of Yu Huang and sized her up carefully. His blue eyes had a trace of doubt. “Nonsense. How can you crush a distress talisman so casually?”
Yu Huang hurriedly explained, “G.o.dfather, I asked you to come because I have a request.”
Mo Xiao looked at Lin Jiansheng. He first cupped his hands and congratulated Lin Jiansheng. “Congratulations, Saint, for breaking through to level nine.”
This was the first time that Lin Jiansheng was congratulated by the Grand State Master. He was so excited that his face turned red. “Thank you, Grand State Master.”
Mo Xiao nodded and realized that Lin Jiansheng’s chest was stained with a few drops of blood. He frowned and asked, “What exactly happened?” Lin Jiansheng was a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master, yet he was troubled by something.
