Chapter 952: Chapter 339: Heavenbane’s Howard Journey
Sun Lingtong waved his hand: “This ti I’m going to break through the Immortal City, not for you, but for my lord. It’s not about any life-saving grace.”
He saw Luo Si addressing Ning Zhuo as ‘young master,’ and imdiately set an example for Luo Si, as if saying—see? This is the true attitude we should have towards Ning Zhuo.
Luo Si shook his head, his expression serious, indicating that although Sun Lingtong didn’t care, he did. He must repay this favor in the future!
Sun Lingtong sighed with regret: “It’s a pity that Senior Grey Bone has died, alas, how sorrowful!”
These words instantly triggered Luo Si’s feelings of sadness.
Sun Lingtong rembered: “Although I only had a brief encounter with Senior Grey Bone, not even face-to-face, I already felt the senior’s noble character, compassion and rcy for all living things, and his steadfastness on his own path.”
Ning Zhuo followed closely: “If it weren’t for Senior Grey Bone’s planning and guidance, we would never have cracked the century-long plan of the Lord of Wanchuan! In my opinion, he is the greatest hero!!”
Luo Si nodded repeatedly, showing a hint of hatred: “The Lord of Wanchuan sent people to harm Senior Grey Bone. This enmity is as great as the heavens, and I must avenge it in this life!”
Sun Lingtong chuckled: “Don’t worry, although my lord is only seventeen and has only Foundation Establishnt cultivation, given ti, he will definitely not be inferior to this Lord of Wanchuan. A gentleman seeks revenge not too late for ten years! In the future, we will follow our lord and surely avenge this hatred!”
Sun Lingtong was extrely skilled in cooperating with Ning Zhuo and also had excellent eloquence. While talking about revenge, he delved into Luo Si’s heart, while praising Ning Zhuo.
Luo Si knew Ning Zhuo only had Foundation Establishnt cultivation, but still was moved when he heard the age of seventeen.
He looked at Ning Zhuo and couldn’t help but salute in amazent: “You are truly a genius bestowed by Heaven!”
Ning Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand and humbly said a few words.
Sun Lingtong then raised his head proudly, with genuine pride on his face: “Otherwise, how would the heaven in the Mortal World choose my lord to co and disrupt the Lord of Wanchuan’s plot? Hahaha!”
He was truly joyful, especially upon hearing Ning Zhuo say he acquired the third Innate talent. This made him even happier than acquiring it himself!
Luo Si looked at Ning Zhuo, then at Sun Lingtong.
He could feel the close relationship between the two. Seeing Ning Zhuo surrounded by such genuinely devoted people, Luo Si’s evaluation of Ning Zhuo rose another level in his heart.
Ning Zhuo coughed and turned to look at Luo Si.
Sun Lingtong did not hear the underlying aning in Luo Si’s words because they had not spent much ti together and did not know Luo Si’s personality.
Luo Si appeared to be calm and had the deanor of a great general, speaking with hidden anings and ulterior motives.
Ning Zhuo understood.
He pondered: “In my opinion, the enemy who persecuted Senior Grey Bone and my mother may not necessarily be subordinates of the Lord of Wanchuan.”
“There are two reasons.”
“First, the battlefield was extrely fierce, with many aspects showing that the battle was of high standards. If the Lord of Wanchuan had such strong subordinates, he should have dispatched them to the Black Cloud Battlefield first.”
“Second, if the Lord of Wanchuan truly took action to harm, my mother should have specified this in the Jade Slip. But she did not!”
“This is certainly not out of fear of retaliation from the Lord of Wanchuan. This ti, we have already ford a mortal enmity with this Underworld king.”
“Mother specifically instructed not to pursue the matter of the Chaotic Destiny Sect at this stage. I suspect that those who attacked the Water Burial Valley might be this group…”
Sun Lingtong imdiately furrowed his brows.
Luo Si felt a sense of relief, realizing once again that communicating with Ning Zhuo was truly effortless. The latter indeed understood Luo Si’s underlying anings!
Ning Zhuo sincerely looked at Luo Si: “I know very little about the intelligence concerning the Rebellion Sect.”
Imdiately, he conveyed to Luo Si all the related information he knew.
Hearing that a Super Sect like Myriad Images Sect valued the Chaotic Destiny Sect so much, Luo Si also took it very seriously.
He said to Ning Zhuo: “Ordinary people would go blind just by looking at the sun. Your mother’s warning is correct; at this point, you should gather strength quickly and prepare for future opportunities for revenge!”
Luo Si understood revenge very well.
He himself harbored deep hatred and wanted to go to the Mortal World to take revenge.
Now following Ning Zhuo, whom Heaven in the Mortal World favored, Luo Si felt that the future was promising, open, and bright.
Hoo hoo…
A strong yin wind suddenly blew from ahead.
The yin wind corroded bones, causing so mbers of the Qing Jiao Army, caught off guard, to fall from their horses.
Fortunately, the black blood paper horse was military equipnt that followed commands, promptly stopping its hooves, preventing any stampede accidents.
Luo Si introduced: “The wind in the Netherworld sotis suddenly becos dangerous, with so winds corroding bones and others slicing souls.”
Woo woo woo…
On the rest of the march, the yin winds frequently changed unexpectedly, causing damage to Qing Jiao Army. The troubleso point was that the yin wind often blew harmlessly, only to suddenly beco highly threatening.
Sun Lingtong frowned: “Strange, I’ve traveled in the Netherworld too, but I’ve never encountered any sudden changes in the yin winds.”
The Qing Jiao Army continued to advance.
The seemingly solid wasteland surface, covered with black gravel, suddenly transford into an ink-black, glue-like whirlpool of quicksand!
It seed to have a life of its own, precisely opening its massive mouth on the core path of the army’s movent.
In panic, the soldiers of the Qing Jiao Army had no choice but to abandon their black-blood paper horses, stomp forcefully to counter the enormous suction, and forcibly ascend, seizing the mont.
Other cultivators acted decisively, rescuing their companions from the dire predicant.
Luo Si said in a deep voice, “This is a quicksand black hole, also a natural phenonon of the Netherworld, similar to the anomaly of the Yin Wind.”
“However, the occurrence of such phenona is very infrequent.”
In the subsequent journey, the Qing Jiao Army encountered it three tis.
Sun Lingtong: “This is called infrequent?”
Ning Zhuo was lost in thought.
When the Qing Jiao Army was about to cross a valley, Ning Zhuo decisively ordered, “Avoid this place.”
As a result, not long after bypassing, a nearby mountain wall suddenly collapsed, and countless rolling stones fell.
This ti, the Qing Jiao Army was on full alert and reacted imdiately, resisting this disaster.
However, even so, more than a dozen were still seriously injured.
Luo Si said, “If we had traversed the valley, by now, almost all of us would have been buried alive inside.”
Sun Lingtong’s eyes flashed with cold light: “Is this the treatnt of Heaven’s wrath?”
He had already learned the full content of Buddhist Doctor ng Yaoyin’s Jade Slip ssage from Ning Zhuo.
Unlike Luo Si, Ning Zhuo had directly shared the “Water Burial Peace and Virtue Scripture” with Sun Lingtong.
Ning Zhuo nodded: “It seems this expression of aversion is endless, filled with ‘coincidental’ deadly peril.”
“Even the flat ground erupts with wind and thunder!”
Sun Lingtong’s thoughts expanded: “If Heaven’s aversion is like this, if it intensifies to beco divine punishnt, will a heavenly tribulation descend?”
Ning Zhuo and others experienced the treatnt of Heaven’s aversion, as if their shadows followed them, sinister and vicious.
The entire Qing Jiao Army treaded on thin ice, struggling through the journey, with casualties gradually increasing.
“We’ve finally arrived.”
They reached the Netherworld River, finally letting out a difficult sigh of relief.
The Netherworld River is a special area. Cultivators venturing into the river can traverse between Yin and Yang. Previously, the Wangchuan Army had followed this route to invade the Yin Tide Black Swamp and attack the White Paper Immortal City.
Wangchuan Immortal City.
City Lord’s Mansion.
On the bed, the Lord of Wangchuan slowly awakened, imdiately hearing cries of joy.
“The Lord has awakened!”
“The Lord is awake, everything will be fine.”
“Lord, urgent report from the front line! The Ghost Fire Underworld has launched three columns of army, attacking our prefecture on all fronts!”
The Lord of Wangchuan heard the cries and the report of joy but was still groggy. However, upon hearing the last sentence, his skin imdiately crawled, and he jolted awake, sitting up abruptly: “What? What did you say?!”
The cultivators gathered at the bedside were taken aback, and then the reporting general once again loudly relayed the information.
The Lord of Wangchuan squinted his eyes imdiately, face filled with seriousness, and stood up directly: “Transmit my orders…”
With a series of orders, three lines of defense were swiftly ford in the minds of the people.
“Why are you still standing here? Get to work quickly!” The Lord of Wangchuan waved everyone off and then secretly summoned his trusted aide.
“Listen carefully, you must accomplish this task with all your might. I allow you to mobilize all resources!” The Lord of Wangchuan ordered with a stern face, “Investigate a Ghost Clan girl thoroughly for , according to the current intelligence, she’s called Qing… Pu!”
Before the Lord of Wangchuan could finish speaking, he imdiately spat blood, his vision went black, and he fainted once again.
“My Lord!!!”
At the sa ti, having infiltrated the Netherworld River and officially returning to the Mortal World, Ning Zhuo suddenly felt a violent tremor from his storage waist belt.
“Oh?”
He quickly scanned it with his Divine Sense and found it was the Wangchuan Prefect Seal.
