"Can it only shrink to a size of a thousand miles?"
Xiang Mantang tried repeatedly several tis, but the final result was still the sa, which left him utterly disheartened.
Although shrinking from ten thousand miles to a thousand miles was a significant improvent, as long as he couldn't fully control it and retract it back into his body, there was essentially no difference between ten thousand miles and a thousand miles for Xiang Mantang.
As long as this Dark Realm still enveloped him, wherever he went, he would bring devastation and barrenness...
He even thought about using a phone to call soone and alert them to his situation to increase their vigilance, but he couldn't do it because the phone would be destroyed before he could even touch it, just like the surrounding houses.
Xiang Mantang did not want to harm anyone; the only solution for now was to confine himself and never et anyone again.
Xiang Mantang imdiately thought of that Paradise Lost.
He planned to confine himself there.
But when Xiang Mantang arrived at the original location of the two rivers, he could no longer find the other two rivers that led to Paradise Lost.
And Xiang Mantang had only stood there for a mont when the two rivers also quickly dried up.
In an instant, it beca a wasteland.
"Unable to return to Paradise Lost, head to Kunlun Ruins?"
Xiang Mantang didn't bother about the drying up of the two rivers and frowned as he thought about his path.
"No, it's alright if I contributed to misfortune among foreigners, but I cannot return to Huaxia, I cannot harm my own people!"
Xiang Mantang shook his head, dismissing the idea of hiding in Kunlun Ruins.
Afterward, with lost eyes, he slowly walked towards a sparsely populated area.
As much as possible, he avoided harming people, and then sought a place where no one had ever set foot, to see how long he could survive.
...
The failure and retreat of Xiang Mantang are still unknown to the world.
Inside Dragon King Hall.
Huddled in a corner, with a pale face and a sudden bout of heart pain, Jian Ruyan suddenly felt less pain and started to breath heavily.
"What happened? Why did I suddenly feel so awful? Was it a whim that sothing big happened? No, did my cousin have an accident?!"
Leaning on her sword, Jian Ruyan climbed up from the ground, finally able to think without the hindrance of pain.
In just a second, she guessed that the unbearable heart pain she had just suffered was definitely because sothing had happened to Xiang Mantang.
For people at their level of power, if soone important to them had an accident, they would generally have a whim and sense it.
"However, my cousin must be alright if I recovered so quickly from it."
Jian Ruyan calmly thought about the sudden heart pain that had appeared and disappeared quickly.
After all, Jian Ruyan did not witness Xiang Mantang's mishap; otherwise, she would have known that the sudden heart pain erged just when the shadow demon completely suppressed and subrged Xiang Mantang's consciousness.
And as the bizarre Cursed Vermilion Phoenix Mark appeared on Xiang Mantang's body and expelled the shadow demon from it, the situation gradually improved, which made her nearly fainting heart pain gradually disappear.
"My cousin must have encountered so danger. Although it seems he has managed it for now, who knows what else he might encounter? No, I must go help him!"
Jian Ruyan's expressions fluctuated, and finally, she made up her mind to defy Xiang Mantang's wishes and go help him.
For her, Xiang Mantang was the most important person, surpassing everything, the so-called Dragon King Hall, the safety of Huaxia, were of no importance to her at all.
However, Jian Ruyan was still unclear about where Xiang Mantang was now, so she hurriedly took out her phone and called Mu Hongchen.
"Hello? Ruyan? I was just about to call you to tell you that sothing has happened in the sopotamian Plain!!"
As soon as the call connected, Mu Hongchen's anxious voice rang out first.
The sopotamian Plain?
When Jian Ruyan heard Mu Hongchen's words, she was stunned for a mont. That place… wasn't that where Xiang Mantang had gone?
Thinking of this, her heart sank, knowing that her prediction had not been wrong. She hurriedly asked, "What happened? How is my brother?"
Mu Hongchen was about to say what had happened when she heard Jian Ruyan's words and was taken aback.
Her brother?
Since when did Jian Ruyan have a brother? Why didn't she rember?
Oh, Mu Hongchen then realized, Jian Ruyan always got along well with Xiang Mantang, and since Xiang Mantang had always been unable to find his sister, she probably had privately recognized Xiang Mantang as her sworn brother, right?
However, Jian Ruyan had never referred to Xiang Mantang that way before, probably because she didn't want others to know, right?
Now, having heard that Xiang Mantang was in trouble, she had revealed their sworn sibling relationship in her rush.
Thinking this way, that seed quite normal.
Mu Hongchen didn't think about it too deeply and said over the phone, "In the sopotamian Plain, we recently had intelligence personnel stationed there send us a ssage, informing us that the town there had turned into ruins and both rivers had dried up, with no known cause."
"Afterwards, Gao Yu inford that the reason Dragon King had decided to go there that day was because he had encountered an Omniscient mber on the roadside. The exact status of that old man within the Omniscient is unknown. He had divined for the Dragon King and predicted that the Treasure dicine that could awaken the forr Dragon King was hidden in the Garden of Eden on the sopotamian Plain…"
"However, at the end of the divination, the old man's face drastically changed and he recanted, warning of a great terror there. He thought that if the Dragon King went there, it might trigger a catastrophic change not seen in a thousand millennia, and hoped the Dragon King would not go. But in the end, the Dragon King still went."
"Now, the custom satellite communicator of the Dragon King has lost its signal; he can no longer be found. The ruins and desolation there might be related to what that Omniscient old man had predicted."
After listening to Mu Hongchen, Jian Ruyan's expression fluctuated several tis, and she said in a deep voice, "Do you an that after the Dragon King went to the sopotamian Plain, contrary to the Omniscient person's prediction, he didn't find the Treasure dicine that could heal the forr Dragon King, but instead unleashed so great terror, leading to devastation in the area?"
Mu Hongchen said, "Yeah, that's roughly it, but these are all just speculations. If we could find the Dragon King, then we would be able to figure out what exactly happened."
While speaking, there seed to be so noises coming from Mu Hongchen's end, and after a few inquiries, she then said to Jian Ruyan, "Ruyan, I've obtained a satellite surveillance video, about what happened in the sopotamian Plain half an hour ago. I'll send it over for you to take a look now."
"Good," Jian Ruyan responded gravely.
She knew that with the situation being so bizarre, she couldn't just rashly venture out; she needed to first understand exactly what had occurred before making plans to rescue Xiang Mantang. Googlᴇ search N0velFire.ɴet
Soon, Mu Hongchen sent the video over.
As Jian Ruyan opened the video, she saw sudden darkness descending over the entire town, shrouding it and swallowing all light, and wherever the darkness devoured, animals and plants withered, and buildings decayed and crumbled!
This kind of power was simply beyond the reach of any mortal.
Jian Ruyan imdiately understood that the great terror divined by the Omniscient person was likely unleashed by Xiang Mantang.
But then…
Where was Xiang Mantang?
He couldn't have t with misfortune, could he?
Jian Ruyan was filled with anxiety and concern, but she also realized that Xiang Mantang likely hadn't t with a severe mishap, otherwise she wouldn't have recovered so quickly.
Thus, she watched the video intently, hoping to catch a glimpse of Xiang Mantang's figure.
