Chapter 2428: Are you that easy to fool?
But this is only a superficial phenomenon.
From the perspective of Mother Earth, this is actually a struggle and mutual devouring between two secret realms.
A new Panlong Secret Realm has appeared, and it's coming on strong, first using the Shielded Fish's Secret Realm as a sacrifice to satisfy its own hunger. The Shielded Fish fights desperately, but unfortunately, it lacks the strength.
When Mother Earth climbed to the top of the city wall, she happened to see the shieldfish gather all its strength for one last strike, and then disappear into the salt lake and never reappear.
It and its secret realm were swallowed up by the other side.
The Earth Mother was secretly furious upon seeing this, realizing she had arrived too late.
The Shielded Fish didn't feel sorry for the disappearance of the Secret Realm. Throughout history, many secret realms have existed and vanished within Jade Capital City, like fleeting clouds. In this city where the strong are respected, only powerful secret realms are qualified to remain.
What secretly alarmed Mother Earth was the aggressiveness displayed by the new secret realm.
It barely emerged before eagerly devouring the Shieldfish Realm. This not only shows its disregard for the local power, the Earth Mother, but also indicates it was starving and needed to replenish its energy immediately. After all, the generation and stabilization of each realm consumes a significant amount of energy.
I'm starving, um...
The Bear King stood upright, looked eastward, and pointed, saying, "The underground realm and its surroundings are also flashing! Does that mean, uh..."
Around the underground secret realm, there happen to be four or five buildings that are Panlong Ruins.
Now, they are shining together.
There are dozens of ruins in Yujing City, making it a veritable museum of ruins, but only a handful of them possess guardian spirits; the rest are the collections of the Earth Mother.
Panlong New Realm is much faster at dealing with these secret realms that lack guardian spirits.
In just over a quarter of an hour, Panlong New Secret Realm devoured three secret realms in Yujing City!
The Earth Mother had never seen such an impudent prisoner who, after being captured and brought to the Jade Capital, dared to devour his fellow prisoners.
It snapped its fingers twice, and the remaining ruins around the Panlong Ruins, which had not yet been swallowed up, were removed amidst the rumble of the earthquake.
We can't let the new Panlong Secret Realm devour everything; if it gets too strong, it will be much harder for Mother Earth to deal with it.
Why is Panlong's new secret realm only emerging now? The Earth Mother deduces that this is mostly because its reconstruction has entered its later stages before it is connected to reality.
From this point on, it no longer needed to, and could no longer, conceal itself.
Mother Earth murmured to herself, "So, those people's tricks were just a cover-up for the previous period."
The other party didn't want to reveal the fact that the Panlong Old Secret Realm had perished too soon, so they tried their best to delay. But now, it doesn't matter anymore.
The Bear King looked around, swallowing hard as he gazed at the various glowing spots: "Could these be...could these be the entrances to the Panlong Secret Realm?"
“Nonsense,” Mother Earth said coldly. “I haven’t divided the Panlong Ruins yet. Jade Capital City and the Panlong Ruins are currently interlocked.”
It pointed to the great city below:
"Now, this is both the secret realm of Jade Capital City and the secret realm of Panlong Ruins!"
As Yujing City and Panlong Ruins merge, their secret realms will naturally collide with each other!
This scene had played out countless times when Jade Capital City devoured other secret realms. However, Jade Capital City's previous opponents were far inferior to it, possessing little ability to resist, and were ultimately swallowed up by it.
But this time, the opponent is the Panlong Ruins. From the ruins themselves to the people behind them, they are all formidable opponents.
There were no more secret realms, but suddenly another one appeared.
It's hard to say that this wasn't pre-planned by the enemy.
"However, it has only just begun to emerge, and the secret realm must still be very unstable." This is the golden period for it to take over the new secret realm.
The Bear King roused himself: "Now that the entrance to the new secret realm has opened, shall we charge in?"
"Fool! Are you going to fall into the same trap twice?" The Earth Mother exclaimed in exasperation. "The new secret realm in Panlong City will definitely have a guardian spirit. Even if you circle that new secret realm a hundred times, it won't do you any good unless you kill or tame it!"
It has devoured too many ruins and secret realms. For those secret realms without guardian spirits, as long as it takes over the ruins in reality, it can usually take over the secret realm as well. But if the secret realm has a guardian spirit, then it will be much more difficult, as the key to controlling the secret realm is 90% in the hands of the guardian spirit.
For example, the Ghost Gate of Jade Capital City was only brought into the city by the Earth Mother after she defeated the Great Ghost Qing Tu. If this step were missing, the time it would take to subdue the Ghost Gate would be several times longer.
The Bear King scratched his head: "Then let's take down the Guardian Spirit!"
The Earth Mother looked at Jade Capital City and said coldly, "It may not be in the new secret realm."
"what?"
"Do you know what it looks like and what its abilities are?"
"Uh, I don't know."
Just as Mother Earth was about to speak again, the Cyclops King suddenly strode over, with two of his henchmen grabbing a cage behind him.
In the hands of the towering Cyclops, it resembled a cricket cage, but inside was a person.
He was a cultivator, his face bruised and swollen, his clothes stained with blood, his body covered in charred black spots, and even his hair smelled burnt. It was clear that he had suffered greatly.
The Cyclops King said in a deep, muffled voice, "Your Majesty, this boy is a follower of the immortals who infiltrated the White House earlier. He couldn't withstand the torture and confessed. Please listen to his confession."
Just in time, Mother Earth said impatiently, "Hurry up."
The Cyclops King tapped the cage with a long staff, and a crackling electric current shot out, causing the prisoner to jump up and scream in agony.
That one blow tore his skin open again. The two Cyclopes behind him, smelling the aroma of charred flesh, couldn't help but swallow hard.
The Cyclops King then said to the captive, "Say what you just said to Her Majesty the Mother again, word for word!"
The prisoner was nearly driven mad by their torture and had no choice but to tell them everything.
It turns out he was an elder of the Tong Sect, most skilled in healing arts, and was assigned to the group of Venerable Mingyao during this infiltration. However, the white house turned out to be a trap; Venerable Mingyao led everyone to break through, and this Tong Sect elder didn't fare well, being defeated.
For Lingshan, this is normal loss; for the Tongzong elders, this is a catastrophe.
What about the other group?
"Another group, led by Immortal Mingke, infiltrated Duzhi Mountain to search for the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus. Immortal Mingke and the Cangyan people believe that the golden lotus is related to the Earth Mother's stone heart..."
"The Cangyan people?" The Earth Mother interrupted the prisoners. "How did you get involved with the Cangyan people?"
So it turns out that it wasn't just the people from Lingshan who invaded the secret realm of Duzhishan?
"We were discussing our plans at Baiyuan Post Station when the Cangyan people suddenly arrived. Venerable Mingyao once used a secret technique to see that they had entered the Panlong Secret Realm..."
Under the Earth Mother's persistent questioning, the captives confessed the whole story.
"A Cang Yan general, and the Cave Spider Queen?" The Earth Mother's eyes gleamed red. "You fools! He said he was the Tiger Wing General, and you believed him? Is Mount Ling so easily fooled now?"
