After killing Bai Jiangguo, the expert from the Cloud Clouds Empire, Long Yu and Shu Chan had not only obtained the Mid-Grade Great Desolate Realm pen-shaped Combat Weapon, but also more Heaven Realm healing pills, and even two Great Desolate Realm healing pills.
Judging from the aura emitted by the two pills, as long as one didn't die, they would be able to quickly recover from all injuries. The effect was even better than Long Yu's Self-Healing Divine Rune, which he had comprehended twenty percent of.
Unfortunately, there was a limit to how many healing pills one could consume.
That was because the same healing pill was not only expensive, it didn't have the same obvious effect as the first one.
The two healing pills were given to Long Yu and Shu Chan, while the Mid-Grade Great Desolate Realm pen-shaped Combat Weapon was put into the Void Spirit Dragon Blade's storage space by Long Yu.
Other than that, there were also two High-Grade Heaven Realm Combat Weapons, a pair of boots and a long whip. Long Yu had erased the soul imprint on the pair of boots and put them on.
The Heaven Realm Combat Boots could double one's speed by activating its power. However, it would consume a large amount of Xuan Qi, unless it was compatible with the pair of boots, then it would be much more useful.
For the time being, Long Yu could only use the pair of boots to save his life. If he used the boots together with his movement martial skill, the sudden burst of speed would be extremely terrifying.
The two continued to move forward. Not long after, they left the dense forest and entered the territory of Lieyang County.
When they reached the center of Lieyang County, it was a complete desert. It was impossible for ordinary Martial Cultivators to survive and cultivate here. However, it was not a problem for Martial Cultivators in Lieyang County who had comprehended Fire Attribute Divine Runes. It was even helpful for them to comprehend Divine Runes and Divine Abilities.
Fighting in a desert like this, Martial Cultivators in Lieyang County would have an advantage. Therefore, there were very few Martial Cultivators in this place.
Under such circumstances, Long Yu and Shu Chan had to be even more careful. Anyone who came here would be interrogated again and again. If they were caught by the people of Lieyang County, their whereabouts would be exposed.
When they encountered other people, Long Yu would directly use the Divine Concealment technique, quietly evading with Shu Chan. Like this, there were no major problems along the way. It was just that constantly using the Divine Concealment technique made Long Yu quite tired, and he had to take several medicinal pills to recover the power of the Divine Characters.
"Luckily, the people from the Cloud Cloud Empire came to deliver the pills. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to pass through Lieyang County."
Shu Chan smiled and said.
"Yes, but the people of the Cloud Empire probably won't let this matter go. Soon, other pursuers will catch up. We must be careful."
Long Yu nodded.
Shu Chan nodded in agreement. "We will reach Shura County in another hundred miles. I wonder what the situation is like in Shura County …"
"If we take a detour and directly enter from the north, we might encounter some trouble."
Long Yu pondered for a moment and said.
"Yes, if Emperor Tian Qin guessed that we would return and set up a checkpoint in the north of Shura County, it won't be easy to sneak in. It's better to take a detour to the west. It will also be closer to the Nightmare Mountains."
Shu Chan said, "If we can rescue General Huo Yuanbai, our battle strength will be stronger, and we will have more assurance in doing things."
"I just don't know where he is now, and how is his situation …"
Long Yu said as he shook his head. "No matter what, let's go to the Nightmare Mountains first."
…
Shu Chan was quite familiar with Shura County and its surrounding terrain. With the support of Long Yu's Divine Concealment technique, Shu Chan quickly found a detour and entered the original Shura County from the west.
This direction was not far from the Devil Nightmare Mountain Range. However, what surprised the two of them was that the Asura County was now filled with dense Ghost Qi, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"This is the aura of the Ghost Evil County!"
Long Yu's expression changed, and even Shu Chan's expression darkened.
The ghost qi of the Ghost Evil County was floating in the Shura County. Could it be that the Ghost Evil County was now under the control of the Ghost Evil County King?
"Could it be that all of Emperor Tian Qin's actions are being pushed by the Ghost Evil County King?"
Shu Chan's eyes flashed with hatred. Along the way, she hadn't seen any news about her father. It was as if the Shura King had died after the battle with Emperor Tian Qin, and there was no news of him at all.
Shu Chan didn't dare to think too much. She could only prepare herself for her father's death, so she naturally hated the instigator of all this.
Originally, Shu Chan thought that it was Emperor Tian Qin who wanted to move against the Shura County, but now it seemed that after the Shura County was taken over by Emperor Tian Qin, it was given to the Ghost Evil County King to manage. Even the entire Shura County was filled with dense ghost qi. It was not hard to imagine that all of this was being pushed by the Ghost Evil County King.
The Ghost Evil County King had suffered at the hands of the Shura King, so it was very likely that he was thinking of a way to take revenge. He just needed to convince Emperor Tian Qin to take action. For the Ghost Evil County King, this shouldn't be a difficult matter. As long as a large portion of the Nightmare Mountains' mineral production was given to Emperor Tian Qin, the Emperor Tian Qin would most likely agree.
To Emperor Tian Qin, it didn't matter who the county was. The key was to obtain the greatest benefits and obtain the majority of the cultivation resources!
Only in this way could Emperor Tianqin control all the prefectures in the Tianqin Dynasty and have them firmly under his control.
"Things are still uncertain. Let's continue forward."
Long Yu comforted Shu Chan in a soft voice. Then, he pulled her along and continued forward. Soon, they reached the depths of Asura County. They were a little closer to the Devil Nightmare Mountain Range.
At this point, the surrounding ghost qi did not weaken. Instead, because they were closer to the Ghost Evil County, it became denser.
The two of them passed by a small city and a few martial cultivator villages. With Long Yu's Divine Concealment Technique, he obtained a lot of news.
The most important news was that the Shura County had been renamed to the Nightmare Mining Area. Most importantly, this area was really given to the Ghost Evil County's ruler, the Ghost Evil King!
This discovery made Shu Chan completely silent. After all, as a princess, she naturally did not feel good when she saw the Prefecture Palace that she was so familiar with being occupied by the Ghost Evil King, that sinister fellow.
"With our talent, sooner or later, we'll be able to take back all of this."
Long Yu's eyes flickered as he said to Shu Chan, "The most important thing now is to find General Huo's location. When the time is right, we will leave this place and quickly accumulate our strength in the North Snow Empire."
Shu Chan obviously knew this, but seeing the familiar Shura County filled with the aura of the Ghost Evil County, she still felt a bit sad.
Along the way, many martial cultivators in the cities and villages expressed their resentment towards the Ghost Evil County's invasion. However, they couldn't do anything about it. After all, they were weak, so even if they had resentment, they couldn't vent it out.
Therefore, the number of martial cultivators in the cities and villages decreased a lot. Most of them went to the neighboring counties. Even if they lived and cultivated in a place like the Lieyang County, it was still better than cultivating in a place like the Ghost Evil County.
As a result, the number of martial cultivators in the Asura County was rapidly decreasing. Countless martial cultivators chose to leave the county and not return. Long Yu and Shu Chan continued to run, but they still couldn't see a single person.
The Nightmare Mountain quickly appeared in front of the two. Here, the Yin Qi in the Ghost Evil County was even denser, making it hard for people to breathe. Fortunately, Long Yu's Nine Nether Divine Characters could completely suppress this Yin Qi. He could casually condense some Yin Qi to disperse it.
On the way here, they heard that the Nightmare Mountain was now filled with people from the Ghost Evil County and the Tianqin Dynasty. The martial cultivators of the Nightmare Legion in the Shura County had either surrendered to the Tianqin Dynasty, died, or followed Huo Yuanbai to hide in the Nightmare Mountain.
Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the Nightmare Mountain Range, Long Yu immediately used the Divine Concealment technique to hide both himself and Shu Chan, before quietly entering.
In the Nightmare Mountain that was filled with endless Yin Qi, there were indeed many martial cultivators from the Tianqin Dynasty and the Ghost Evil County patrolling. After all, this was the biggest reason why the Tianqin Dynasty attacked the Shura County. The Nightmare Mining Area was naturally guarded to prevent outsiders from entering.
Fortunately, after using the Divine Concealment method, Long Yu and Shu Chan's figures were completely hidden. Even the experts in the King Road Secret Realm might not be able to find them.
Quietly, Long Yu heard a lot of news from the patrolling martial cultivators from the Tianqin Dynasty and the Ghost Evil County.
"General Huo is trapped in the Death Valley."
When Shu Chan heard this news, her expression changed slightly.
"The Death Valley? What kind of place is that?"
Hearing this, Long Yu frowned slightly. Just from the name, he knew that the Death Valley was not a good place. However, only by hiding in an extremely dangerous place could one survive until now.
Otherwise, any expert in the King Road Secret Realm would be able to capture Huo Yuanbai and his group of defeated soldiers in one fell swoop.
"The Death Valley is one of the two great danger zones in the Nightmare Mountain. The other place is called the Asura Abyss."
Shu Chan solemnly explained, "The origin of the Shura County is from the Asura Abyss. It is said that the first Asura Prefecture King went to the Asura Abyss and obtained the Asura Divine Rune. From there, he comprehended the Asura Divine Rune. Later on, he stepped into the King Road Secret Realm and was given the title of Asura Prefecture by the Tianqin Emperor."
The Asura Abyss. So that's how it was. The Asura Divine Rune was obtained from there.
Long Yu was slightly enlightened and nodded to express his understanding.
"After the Asura Divine Rune was taken away by the ancestors, it became a danger zone. In recent years, it has become even more dangerous."
