Chapter 621: Chapter 623 Settling Down
“`
He headed towards those who were lingering near the death fog.
Zhu Minglang asked the man who had lost a leg for the Star Moon Jade Luili he had in his hand.
Of course, it wasn’t a blatant robbery.
These people standing near the Nothingness Fog were actually no different from crazily probing the edge of death. Moreover, this kind of death often came extremely suddenly, because some of the subtle vapors of the Nothingness Fog are completely invisible. Once inhaled into the nose and lungs, it’s hard to detect, but suffocation and death could occur in an instant.
Zhu Minglang moved quickly, not even allowing these people to see him donning the Lantern Jade Mask.
He stepped into the Nothingness Fog and swiftly used the Star Moon Jade Lapis Lazuli Stone to disperse the thin layer of fog.
The Star Moon Jade Luili that absorbed the Nothingness Fog would become cloudy, and the heavenly essence inside would disappear as a result.
Although it was somewhat regrettable, the current situation still needed to be handled properly.
Zhu Minglang was much more efficient than those people. Before long, almost no layers of the void fog remained.
Zhu Minglang came out of the dark and cold river and, by the time he entered the field of vision of the turbaned woman, he had already taken off his Lantern Jade Mask in advance.
This Lantern Jade Mask was a treasure, and Zhu Minglang wouldn’t reveal it lightly.
“I’ve dissipated the thickest part of the Nothingness Fog, and your people won’t die if they continue to disperse it,” Zhu Minglang said to the turbaned woman.
Doubt filled the woman’s eyes.
She didn’t understand how Zhu Minglang had passed through the deathly fog,
nor did she understand why Zhu Minglang wanted to help them.
Ever since they had fallen to this land of the Tian shu God Territory, they hadn’t even encountered a normal person. They were either greedy, cruel, or terrifying creatures in the dark…
“Why do you want to help us?” The turbaned woman finally couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s a long story, first let your people…” Zhu Minglang didn’t want to explain too much at this moment, after all, the turbaned woman only represented the weak among the group from the Holy Que Continent.
Zhu Minglang needed to talk to those who could survive through the apocalyptic annihilation from the Holy Que Continent.
“Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!!!”
Suddenly, there were huge rumblings around them, and the thick rock layers around them began to shatter extensively. Even the structure of the underground caverns became unstable, looking like they might bury everything at any moment.
Stalactites and large chunks of rock fell, some passageways collapsed outright, as if a tiny ant nest had been trampled by a fierce beast!
The people from the Holy Que Continent in the underground river caverns were panicked. For them, there was no other way out now, only the Earth Vein River Corridor that led to the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.
The shaking was extremely intense, the impact making people dizzy and disorientated.
The Heavenly Slaughter Dragon flew to Zhu Minglang’s side, spreading its wings and smashing the huge falling rocks. It looked ready for battle, its eyes focused on something above, evidently very wary of whatever was on the ground above!!
“It’s the Yama Dragon!” Mi Rong said in a panic.
Only the Yama Dragon could cause such a terrible impact on such a deep underground world.
Its trampling had effectively filled in all the cavern passageways leading to the surface, and the rocks and soil above their heads had been so compressed by its stomp that even a person at the King-Level Realm would have a hard time breaking through the earth’s crust above them…
If it weren’t for the fact that this section of the underground river belonged to the Veins of the Earth and had the sturdiest structure, they would have been buried alive right then and there.
“How much more Star Moon Jade Luili do you have?” Zhu Minglang urgently asked the turbaned woman.
“`
The woman with the headscarf no longer harped on the matter and instructed that all the Star Moon Jade Lapis Lazuli they had gathered these days be given to Zhu Minglang.
“Bring everyone with me,” Zhu Minglang said.
Zhu Minglang once again jumped into the underground river corridor, put on the mask, and then led the way.
The others had no other choice, they followed the woman with the headscarf, and also kept pace with Zhu Minglang’s steps.
Some remnants of the Nothingness Fog still lingered, but as Zhu Minglang proceeded, he used the Star Moon Jade Lapis Lazuli to absorb it, ensuring there were hardly any issues along the path he took.
The woman with the headscarf demonstrated a bit of a leader’s caliber, her poised and composed demeanor kept everyone orderly and following without chaos or congestion, and some even volunteered to guard the rear of the group to prevent any Nightmares from stealthily dragging people away.
…
The Earth Vein River Corridor was intricate and labyrinthine, with many paths leading to the underground magma or Veins of the Earth’s cliffs, where one could accidentally step into a death pit filled with Nothingness Fog.
Without a shred of light, finding a way to the surface under such conditions was indeed difficult, luckily, Mi Rong, the Star Observing Master, could guide them.
The so-called Star Observing Master doesn’t necessarily need to gaze at the stars above in order to be effective.
Star Observing Masters are adept at understanding yin and yang, the five elements, disasters, climates, Earth’s secrets, and location finding… they have mastered some of these aspects.
Previously, she had been scared witless by the Yama Dragon, hence she timidly followed Zhu Minglang like a little sparrow, but now, when she was needed to find an underground route, she displayed her extraordinary abilities.
“There’s wind, it’s a clean breath,” Zhu Minglang revealed a look of joy.
“Yes, the exit is not far,” Mi Rong also smiled.
“Not bad at all, without you, we might all be lost in the veins now,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Of course, even the Holy Monarch praised me for my talent,” Mi Rong was very happy, being complimented by the God-selected Big Brother.
Zhu Minglang glanced back at the large group behind him, and since they had come this far, there was no need for hesitation or second-guessing.
“I’ll go up first to take a look,” Zhu Minglang said to Mi Rong and the woman with the headscarf.
“Brother Zhu, be careful, this is already the Supreme Court Starland, and the people here are mostly very wary of us outsiders, they might exterminate us at the first sign,” Mi Rong warned.
The woman with the headscarf nodded and added, “If we were in their place, we would show no mercy to invaders either, there must be a large number of troops and powerhouses guarding the area.”
“No problem, I have a way to deal with it,” Zhu Minglang said.
Yes, yes, without a doubt, the territory you all are sneaking into is mine.
…
Upon reaching the ground, Zhu Minglang saw the murky sky, a vast plain, and even a magnificent mountain range standing in the direction opposite the North Dipper Star.
“North Utmost Ridge??”
Zhu Minglang was full of surprise in his heart; this place was actually near North Utmost Ridge, and it seemed to be on the other side of it!
He had not expected that the route chosen by these people from the Holy Que Continent for smuggling would be right over the Li Chuan Plain and the position of North Utmost Ridge.
The other side of North Utmost Ridge was previously the Void Sea, which has now dried up and connected to a new territory.
“Shall I settle them at North Utmost Ridge first?” Zhu Minglang pondered for a moment.
Absolute Ridge Chengbang had already been thoroughly cleaned out and had been renamed to Absolute Ridge Fortress by Li Yunzi.
