Powerful figures from Red God Valley approached, led by the Red-scaled King, who was clad in blood-colored armor, wielding a Blood-colored Spear, and even his long hair was the color of blood, resembling a Blood God. Young yet majestic and resolute, he naturally exuded a strong royal authority, compelling others to submit.
Behind him followed no fewer than eighteen Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses, none of whom were novices in their realm, all of them being top-tier experts of at least the Third Layer Heaven, with several exuding an extraordinarily mighty aura.
The shock extended even further to an elder with patches of gray amidst his crimson hair, his seemingly frail body possessed an intimidating pressure, causing hearts to tremble in fear.
Such an assembly was incredibly powerful, not sothing ordinary forces could possess, especially with a king and a mighty elder among them, indicating that they were almost certainly equivalent to an Immortal Sacred Land.
The Red-scaled King strode forward and turned back to say to the elder, "Seventeenth Elder, are you certain they are in the Green Sun Domain?"
The Seventeenth Elder, the Semi-Saint powerhouse sent by their clan, nodded. "Although that young thief is quite competent, possessing so Secret Technique to conceal his aura, the mark we left on the Soul Stabilizing Pearl remains. As long as it isn’t wiped out, we can trace it. According to its location, they are indeed near Black Sky Plain and without a doubt."
"Moreover, based on previous information, it’s very probable that these two really did cross into another domain. Only the Domain Lord Divine City possesses a Teleportation Gate that allows crossing into another domain. If they intend to head to the Domain Lord Divine City, unless they walk there, they would certainly have to pass through an ancient city equipped with such a gate. Currently, they have most likely just co from Xiangyang Domain, and anyone using the gate must pass through Black Sky Plain."
"The local Transmission Array here can’t transport soone millions of miles; only Qingzhou City truly has that capability. We can intercept and kill those two thieves along the path that must pass through Qingzhou City."
The Red-scaled King nodded and accepted Seventeenth Elder’s suggestion, summoning an extraordinary Divine Ship. Powerhouses surged aboard the ship, setting off towards Black Sky Plain.
On the other side of Black Sky Plain, at the border’s small town station, the city gates were thrown open. Several rchant groups and quite a few rcenary Groups were gathering, preparing to cross over Black Sky Plain to their destinations.
Ye Chen and Chenn Ruo were among them, disguised to divert attention and ensure safer arrival at their destination.
Both of them had disguised themselves as common Loose Cultivators and joined a dium-sized rchant group, paying a certain amount of Spirit Stones as their fee to have the rcenary Group guarding the rchant convoy and ensuring their protection.
However, suddenly, there was a series of disturbances upfront; almost all rcenary Groups unexpectedly returned the Spirit Stones, refusing the tasks, which was surprising. During this period, even though so large rchant groups were in dire need to travel and willing to pay double the usual Spirit Stone fee, no rcenary Group was willing to accept any tasks, at least not in the next five days.
This confused many, as to why all the groups had suddenly decided to disband.
Unable to hold back, Ye Chen approached an older, more experienced rcenary to find out what was happening.
Seeing that Ye Chen was only in his early twenties, the old rcenary cautiously said, "Young man, seeing as you’re so young, I wouldn’t want to endanger you. There’s been a major incident on Black Sky Plain. Soone incredibly audacious has severely injured a favorite grandson of one of the Black Sky Eight Bandits. Now, that Great Bandit is furiously searching all over Black Sky Plain for the perpetrator."
The Black Sky Eight Bandits, dominant figures of Black Sky Plain, spanning tens of thousands of miles, each a truly top-tier figure with extraordinary capabilities. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to dominate this land of sin for so long while living so freely, feared by various powers.
Now, a favorite grandson of one of these Great Bandits had been severely injured and was comatose, which had caused that Great Bandit to beco extrely enraged, unleashing formidable power, with countless robbers scouring Black Sky Plain for the assailant.
According to the old rcenary, there had been a change in Black Sky Plain’s atmosphere. Even though robbers commonly road the area, there used to be principles; generally, as long as one paid a certain amount of Spirit Stones as a toll, the robbers would allow passage and avoid conflict with rchant caravans and rcenary Groups.
After all, many bandits also understood the importance of the Black Sky Plain and did not want to ruin its developnt.
But now it had beco difficult. One of the grandsons of the Eight Great Bandits of Black Sky Plain had been severely injured, causing one of the great bandits to be extrely enraged. Many bandits had mobilized to search for the murderer, so of which took advantage of the chaos to rob, leading to total mayhem.
The old rcenaries claid that these next few days would be very dangerous, and it would be better to stay in the city and hit the road after the situation cooled down, as it would be much safer.
Ye Chen frowned imdiately, not expecting to encounter such troubleso issues upon his arrival at the Black Sky Plain. However, he had no choice but to leave, as he felt there might still be convenient tracking information on the Soul Stabilizing Pearl. Even if the powers from Red God Valley could not track him precisely to this small city, they were not far off.
If he continued to stay in the small city, it would be easy for trouble to arise. No matter what, he needed to set off on the road, and amidst the chaos of the Black Sky Plain, perhaps it would be even better.
In the small city, many rchant groups were anxious to hit the road to deliver goods on ti, otherwise, they would owe a significant debt.
Finally, after so discussion, many rchant groups expressed their willingness to form a coalition, paying up to three tis the usual fee.
Although traveling through the plains now was likely to result in troubles, the generous rewards were also enticing, prompting nurous rcenary Groups in the city to decide to join forces temporarily to share warmth and help escort the rchant groups and so Loose Cultivators across the Black Sky Plain.
Ye Chen and Chenn Ruo naturally followed suit and joined the coalition, although Chenn Ruo had always been muttering about wanting to traverse the Black Sky Plain with just the two of them to see what they called "Changing Heavens."
Ye Chen did not hesitate to flick her smooth forehead as a punishnt, Chenn Ruo being soone who seed to thrive in chaos.
After a few days with her, Ye Chen had beco quite familiar and did not hold back.
Chenn Ruo, rubbing her sore forehead, cried out that Ye Chen was bullying her, tears falling from her eyes.
Later, the two purchased a relatively comfortable carriage in the city, nothing extraordinary, at most resembling young masters and misses from great powers traveling on an expedition.
Once on the road, they discovered that the rchant groups traveling together were not few, and other towns did the sa, each one adopting the solidarity of group travel across the Black Sky Plain, the sheer numbers deterring many of the bandits from taking any actions.
"Just be a bit cautious, and there should be no problems. After all, even if sothing happens, we are nobodies, and the Eight Great Bandits won’t bother dealing with us over such minor issues."
So old rcenaries from the rcenary Group comforted those who were fearful, given that they had already encountered no less than ten fierce bandit forces on the road.
Had they not seen the nurous people in the rchant group—often exceeding tens of thousands, and so being top-level experts—they would have charged forward to plunder already.
On the third day as the rchant group traveled across the Black Sky Plain, the sky suddenly changed.
Boom—
A black Divine Spear from the Heavenly Do crashed down to the ground, imnsely vast like a mountain, bringing a sweep of overwhelming might that blocked everyone’s path.
