Chapter 2757 Farewell to Panlong Ancient City
That was close; we almost faced utter ruin.
But these people seem unable to see him?
What strange place have I fallen into? Could it be inside a wall?
“You’re still not out of danger. The enemy has a powerful expert with extremely strong spiritual sense, and they might not be unaware of us!” As soon as Bao Chihai finished speaking, some of the immortals and demons suddenly turned around and stared at them!
Holy crap, what a jinx!
Bao Chihai grabbed He Yue's arm. "Come with me!"
Then, he grabbed He Yue and dove down again.
He Yue's vision went black; he couldn't see his hand in front of his face, but he could smell the unique dampness of the soil.
This looks like an earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the ground).
Just a few breaths later, they floated to the surface.
This is a desolate wilderness where the grass is taller than a person and insects chirp at night.
"This is where?"
"The outskirts of a village on the plains." Bao Chihai made a few hand gestures, and several streaks of light emerged from the tall grass. "Let me see him!"
These streaks of light circled He Yue's body several times before flying to Bao Chihai and transforming into three blurry faces:
"He's very clean; there are no tracking spells, divine magic, or insects on him."
These three are all nightmares, or rather, night wanderers of the plains, whose specialty is patrolling for all kinds of insects that have entered the country without permission. As Mother Earth roams the world, many local creatures inevitably come uninvited. In addition to driving away evil spirits, these night wanderers are also responsible for expelling these stowaways.
Bao Chihai dared not take He Yue to the Panlong Secret Realm rashly, because as soon as he entered the Earth Mother Plain, the Heavenly Demon came to his door, which meant that the Heavenly Demon had a way to track his whereabouts.
But back then, He Yue had many personal guards around him, but now he is all alone.
"It's possible that the Heavenly Demon is tracking someone close to you."
He Yue's expression changed. Yes, the Heavenly Demon had set a trap for him months ago, so it wasn't surprising that he would tamper with his personal guards. This further proved that all of the Heavenly Demon's actions, including harming his eldest son, were aimed at his elder brother.
Where are my attendants?
“The Earth Mother’s avatar has placed them in the secret realm,” Bao Chihai said. “The secret realm can block most magical tracking spells. We will release them again after the Heavenly Demon’s tracking magic is washed away.”
"Where were we just now? Why has the Heavenly Demon grown so big?"
Bao Chihai explained: "The angle between dreams and reality."
"Oh, inside the wall?"
"Yes, inside the wall." This conversation seemed familiar. The last person to say something like that to him was the Nine Nether Emperor.
Just then, the little stone man popped out from the side: "Immortal Mingke is calling you to the Panlong Secret Realm."
After saying that, it took out a stone chain and handed it to He Yue:
"Wear it, and you can travel on your own through most of the Earth Mother Plains."
As He Yue put it on his wrist, he asked curiously, "Can it be done in the Panlong Secret Realm too?"
The little stone man said expressionlessly, "Only the Panlong Secret Realm is excluded."
"Why?" Isn't the entire plain accessible?
"The Panlong Secret Realm is not under my jurisdiction." Even the Earth Mother herself cannot directly infiltrate the Panlong Secret Realm; she must personally enter through the main gate.
This is what is meant by distinguishing between inside and outside.
He Yue shook the stone chain on his wrist: "Then let's go to the entrance of the Panlong Secret Realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, everything went black before his eyes.
call out!
I feel so dizzy.
When He Yue regained his vision, he gasped for breath, because the first thing he saw was the majestic city gate directly in front of him.
From his vantage point looking up, the proud and aloof, mottled yet ancient building almost blocked out half the sky.
The South Gate of Panlong Ancient City!
Seeing Panlong Ancient City again in this situation, He Yue didn't know how he felt.
This ancient city and the He family have an inexplicable connection.
But Panlong Ancient City is no longer in the vast desert. Not far away is a dense jungle, and the south gate is covered with climbing plants. The small purple and white flowers add the color of life to the ancient walls.
Bao Chihai popped out from the side: "Go in."
No one could be directly teleported into the secret realm except for the Nine Nether Emperor himself.
As He Yue walked through the gate of Panlong City, he felt a little uneasy.
He lived in Heishui City when he was a child and had heard many people talk about the various supernatural phenomena in Panlong Ancient City. He himself had been to the ruins many times, but apart from the endless yellow sand and the sound of the wind, he did not feel anything special.
But his father told him that the ancient city had long since awakened from its slumber and had an inseparable connection with his brother.
The next moment, the scenery changed.
The scene inside the city gate made He Yue stop in his tracks: "Is this a secret realm?"
The city is no longer filled with yellow sand and ruins; the South Gate Square now boasts a rich network of waterways flowing gently, with lotus flowers blooming in profusion.
The old street by the water was brightly lit, and the shops were filled with a dazzling array of goods. A pagoda rose from the ground directly in front of them, soaring into the sky.
This is so different from the Panlong Ancient City he remembers!
"What did you just say?" he asked Bao Chihai. "Is the secret realm a fragment of history or memory?"
“That applies to naturally formed secret realms,” Bao Chihai said, then added, “but this secret realm was created by the Emperor himself, so it’s naturally different.”
He Yue responded with an "oh".
Surely this vibrant city couldn't possibly be the same as the one her brother remembered? The two brothers had visited Panlong Ancient City together and witnessed its true ruins. Gale-force winds, yellow sand, and desolate wasteland—utterly devoid of life—that was the true picture of Panlong Ancient City.
This is a big city, vibrant and full of life, but the streets and alleys lack human presence.
The South Gate Square was quite popular, as a large number of soldiers from the Black Armor Army and the Shen Kingdom army had gathered there.
Shen Jun was overjoyed to see the commander-in-chief appear and greeted him with great delight.
After reuniting with his familiar deputy general and the army, He Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As long as military power exists, strength remains.
Not far away, Immortal Mingke rushed over, his face grave: "You've arrived. I have bad news: Lord Qingshudi has sacrificed himself."
Both of them were taken aback: "What!"
One is Bao Chihai, and the other is Ling Jinbao, who has just entered the secret realm.
He single-handedly fought off more than ten demons outside the Dragon-Trapping Cave, almost losing his life in the process. Now that he has finally returned to the Earth Mother Plain, he hears this terrible news!
The two rushed into the pagoda at the same time and found that one of the eternal lamps in the shrine had been extinguished, but wisps of smoke were still rising from it.
It is the cup that belongs to Qing Shu Di Jun.
He Yue, a newcomer, didn't know who Qing Shu Di Jun was. Yang Sheng, covered in blood, had just had poisoned nails removed from his wounds and was being treated by his guards. His breathing was unsteady: "Just now, the Heavenly Demons launched a sneak attack. Each of us was surrounded by more than ten Immortal Demons. Qing Shu Di Jun bravely covered my retreat, and then..."
Ling Jinbao scratched his head vigorously, grinding his back teeth.
