Chapter 623: Chapter 625: Gaining Two Women is Winning the World
…
After resting for the night, Zhu Minglang continued on to the Crater Basin the next morning, according to the agreement he had with the Holy Que leader Hong Geng, to guide his people back.
“I really don’t know how to thank you. If there’s anything we can do, please just say the word,” said the turbaned woman Dong Hanshuang.
“Madam Dong, do you still have any more Star Moon Jade Lapis Lazuli Stone? Brother Zhu has been injured and has forgotten many things, but the Star Moon Jade Lapis Lazuli can help him recover his memory,” Mi Rong said seriously.
Zhu Minglang was initially a bit embarrassed to ask, but Mi Rong’s timely response was like a warm coat just when he needed it!
Dong Hanshuang didn’t think twice, she immediately had someone find the Star Moon Jade Lapis Lazuli Stones they had collected over the days. Although these items were very precious and contained powerful Tianchen powers, their main purpose had been to smuggle their way to Li Chuan.
Now that they had entered Li Chuan and gained a city-state where they could live and rest with peace of mind, it was enough for them.
…
To better guide the people from the Holy Que Continent, Dong Hanshuang also accompanied Zhu Minglang and Mi Rong on their way back to the Crater Basin.
“The Star Moon Jade Lapis Lazuli Stones are very effective. It seems Brother Zhu is starting to remember where he came from,” Mi Rong said with a smile.
“Yeah, probably because I inhaled some of the Vacuous Murk, I couldn’t remember much due to my dizziness and headaches. Now I feel a lot better,” Zhu Minglang had been worried about how to explain his behavior in Li Chuan to Mi Rong, but she wasn’t overthinking it at all.
The complex Earth Vein Labyrinth would have been very difficult to navigate without Mi Rong.
This time, Zhu Minglang made some marks that only he could understand.
Upon returning to the same Earth Vein River Corridor, Zhu Minglang found that the collapse was very severe, and the original exit was no longer passable; they had to find another cave exit.
At this point, Mi Rong again demonstrated her strong path-finding abilities and soon led them back to the surface.
The surroundings were still scorched earth, but this time there were some extraordinarily exaggerated claw and slash marks.
The claw marks tore through the rock layer’s surface, a sight to behold, while the slash marks were even more dramatic, extending from one end of the earth to the other in a sickle shape.
It was the work of the Yama Dragon.
No one knew how many lives had been lost to the Yama Dragon’s claws last night.
“How strange, even with a Dark Vortex, the Yama Dragon shouldn’t have just appeared. Could there be something nearby that the Yama Dragon cares about?” While walking, Mi Rong suddenly raised this question.
Her words made Zhu Minglang’s eyes light up.
My little padded jacket makes a good point!
Beings like the Yama Dragon wouldn’t just wander around like lonely wild ghosts. Just as with Omen Beasts, their appearance often signifies something, corresponding to something!
Zhu Minglang and Mi Rong seriously discussed the matter, and Mi Rong began to try to observe the heavens and discern the air, attempting to understand the true reason for the Yama Dragon’s appearance.
It seemed Mi Rong’s star gazing technique could see finer details. This was slightly different from Star Painting’s ability to foresee upcoming events.
For instance, the appearance of the Yama Dragon, Star Painting should have been able to predict it 100% and would have avoided this unstoppable Night Emperor.
Mi Rong had a bit of geomancy, divination, weather-watching, and spirit-finding about her.
To put it simply, Star Painting ensures safety, while Mi Rong could bring fortune.
Zhu Minglang felt that with these two women, one could conquer the world!
“Brother Zhu, there is a piece of Liuli Jade!” Suddenly, Mi Rong exclaimed with joy.
“Aren’t there many fragments of Liuli Jade around here?” Zhu Minglang asked.
Mi Rong shook her head, very serious and earnest, “It’s a complete piece of Moon Glass Jade, at least as large as a palm, your palm.”
Zhu Minglang was greatly shocked!
Zhu Gate had gone through great pains to collect just one or two pieces of Moon Glass Stone for him.
Yet Moon Glass Jade was of far higher quality than Moon Glass Stone, its value surpassing it by hundreds, if not thousands of times!
“Is the Yama Dragon also looking for it??” Zhu Minglang asked in a lowered voice.
That’s how people are, when talking about something as valuable as the Moon Glass Jade they fear that even walls have ears, so Zhu Minglang spoke in a voice audible only to him and Mi Rong.
“I’m afraid so. Such a rare Heavenly Essence would even delight the gods if offered to them,” Mi Rong said.
Whether the gods were delighted or not, Zhu Minglang didn’t know, but with it, Little White was bound to soar!!
Limited by the Sundial Pearl, Little White’s growth was hindered by “not being able to eat enough,” not to mention there was no issue of being unable to digest it!
As long as he could find a plentiful Moon Glass Jade, Zhu Minglang felt that Little White’s cultivation base could rapidly surpass other dragons, and even advance to higher realms!
The Tianshu God Domain really had true gods, and whether they could stand up to these gods in the future depended on Little White!
“Do you know where it is?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“It’s in this area, but I’ll need to wait until it gets dark and the stars come out for me to locate it precisely,” Mi Rong replied.
At this moment, Mi Rong had only seen that special purple aura.
The Star Moon Jade Luili was generally easier to find at night; during the day these Heavenly Essences were indistinguishable from ordinary stones, and one might not even notice their infinite value when held.
But this piece of Moon Glass Jade was truly too large, still retaining some energy even during the day, which allowed Mi Rong to glimpse this special purple aura. If her skills were not advanced, it might have blended with the violet light of morning sun.
“So many bodies…” Dong Hanshuang lamented as she walked, sadness showing on her face.
The ground was littered with many bodies, many of them powerful individuals from Holy Quel Continent, who died near the fissures while protecting their lands from the Dark Creatures.
Beyond that, many individuals from Xuange Divine Country and Hongtian Peak had also perished. They clearly had not anticipated the existence of a being like the Yama Dragon in the darkness.
“For dozens of miles around, there are hardly any living creatures, just bodies everywhere,” Mi Rong remarked.
With a heavy air of death lingering, Mi Rong didn’t need to venture further to imagine the scene.
Sure enough, as they continued to walk for about ten miles, bodies were seen everywhere, not only human but also magical Holy Spirits and many Nightwalkers.
The Yama Dragon had carried out a massacre, killing all living beings that moved in the Crater Basin!
“Mi Rong, does the Yama Dragon kill anything it sees?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“That shouldn’t be the case. Although the Yama Dragon is a loner and does not have its own Night Kingdom, it’s rare to hear of the Yama Dragon slaughtering on such a large scale…” Mi Rong said.
“Then could we interpret that the Yama Dragon is also looking for this piece of Moon Glass Jade on this land, and it’s preventing any creature from approaching, including the Night Creatures, for fear of it being taken?” Zhu Minglang speculated.
