To the north was the Northern Mountain Range.
In the future, it would be an important place to face the Tianshu Shenjiang.
Li Yunzi had always been very far-sighted. After taking over the Northern Mountain Range, she didn't destroy it completely. Instead, she quickly turned it into her Li Chuan Army's fortress and ordered people to repair the silver wall.
"Who is here!" Suddenly, a stern voice questioned.
Zhu Minglang was a bit dizzy from the turbid air underground. His senses were a bit weaker than usual. Just now, he was concentrating on identifying his position and didn't notice that a group of people riding flying dragons was approaching.
"It must be a foreign thief plotting something. Let's take him down first!"
"Don't be reckless. Immediately light up the mountain range's beacon tower. Everyone be on guard!"
The leader was very cautious. He didn't let the Flying Dragon Camp directly land on the ground. Instead, he kept them hovering in the air and kept a certain distance from Zhu Minglang, a dangerous person.
Those who could enter the Extreme Court ahead of time were mostly foreign experts, even if they were alone.
"Commander, don't light the fire. It's one of us!" Zhu Minglang said loudly and reported his name.
"Venerable Zhu???"
There was no one in the Flying Dragon Camp who didn't know Zhu Minglang. In the battle of the Northern Mountain Range, Zhu Minglang was fully deserving of the title of Venerable Dragon. He dominated the entire battle.
"It really is Venerable Zhu!"
The people of the Flying Dragon Camp landed on the ground and saw Zhu Minglang's appearance. A few of the younger Flying Dragon Camp generals were very excited, as if they had seen a legendary hero.
"Venerable Zhu, why are you here? Are you also patrolling? Leave this kind of thing to your subordinates," Vice Commander Bin Cheng said.
Bin Cheng was an expert that Zheng Yu had abducted from the imperial capital. With his glib tongue, he had abducted a general who was ostracized by the imperial family to Li Chuan. He became Zheng Yu's subordinate and led a Flying Dragon Camp in the forest by himself.
This fellow's strength was far above that of the Flying Dragon Camp's leader, Xu Bei. Furthermore, he was cautious and upright. Zheng Yu had strongly recommended him to lead the Li Chuan army.
Even Elder Jing Lin was full of praise for this person, saying that Zhu Tianguan had long since taken a fancy to him. In the end, he swore that he would no longer meddle in the disputes of the Imperial City, so he was finally convinced by Zheng Yu.
This deputy commander was quite famous in the Extreme Court.
Bin Cheng's cultivation level might even be higher than his. No wonder he didn't notice him when he first approached him.
"I saved some people. Commander, please help me settle them down. Of course, don't let your guard down against them," Zhu Minglang said.
"Yes," Bin Cheng said.
"Time is a little tight. I'll explain to you later," Zhu Minglang said.
"Venerable One, you don't have to explain to me. I'm just following orders." Bin Cheng didn't ask much. As long as it was confirmed that it was Zhu Minglang, everything would be carried out according to Zhu Minglang's instructions.
Zhu Minglang nodded. He realized that this person was strong but not arrogant. It was no wonder that Zheng Yu strongly recommended him.
…
Back in the underground, Zhu Minglang asked the woman with the headscarf to take her people out of the cave.
The cave was connected in all directions, and it was filled with foul air. There was also a fog floating around. Many people were dizzy and foaming at the mouth. They needed a clean and comfortable environment, as well as food, water, medicine, and bedding.
The woman with the headscarf was very cautious at first. She didn't dare to let the people out, but after realizing that she had no choice, she could only accept Zhu Minglang's suggestion.
"There is a city on this mountain. You can stay there for now," Zhu Minglang said.
The woman with the headscarf looked back at the sick and injured people behind her. Finally, she nodded.
Zhu Minglang personally took them to the city. With the Flying Dragon Camp's people escorting them, it didn't take long to reach the city.
When everyone saw the city, the magnificent walls, the houses, and the streets, their eyes shone.
"You can choose any of these houses. Someone will bring water, food, blankets, medicine, and so on. If you need anything else, you can tell the deputy commander," Zhu Minglang said to the woman with the headscarf.
At night, there were no scary creatures. Although the night sky was a little cloudy, at least they could feel the long-awaited peace.
The people there clearly didn't have any bad intentions. Especially when she saw them bring a lot of supplies, the woman with the headscarf finally let down her guard.
"We still have people in Fallen Basin. Can you bring them all here?" The woman's voice was a lot softer.
"Yes, this city can take all of you, but you have to listen to my arrangements," Zhu Minglang said seriously.
"My husband is the leader. You can talk to him," the woman with the headscarf said.
"Is he blocking the dark creatures at the crack?" Zhu Minglang asked.
Zhu Minglang knew that the strong people of Saint Watchtower Continent were at the crack. The cave that he and Mi Rong hid in was equivalent to bypassing them.
The woman with the headscarf shook her head.
She led Zhu Minglang to a person lying on a stretcher. This person was wrapped in cloth. His body was obviously burned, and he looked like a dying person.
Zhu Minglang didn't notice this person at all. After all, he didn't look any different from the other refugees. He even looked worse than a healthy person.
However, when Zhu Minglang got close to this severely burned man, he could feel his aura.
His cultivation was extremely high!
Even though he was heavily injured, Zhu Minglang could smell an extremely dangerous aura from this person.
"Cough, cough. Originally, I was prepared to use my last bit of strength to take you down with me. Cough, cough …" The bandaged man coughed a few times as he spoke. It was obvious that his lungs were injured.
"You are their leader?" Zhu Minglang also had lingering fears.
This person hid so well.
If he had any evil intentions, he might not be able to escape unscathed if he suddenly attacked.
"If I say that I am the leader of Saint Watchtower Continent, would you believe me?" The bandaged man said bitterly.
"Uh …" Zhu Minglang didn't know how to reply.
The leader of Saint Watchtower Continent???
This guy was the emperor of Saint Watchtower Continent!
He actually ended up like this.
With his cultivation, even if the continent was destroyed, he would at most suffer some light injuries. How could he …
When the continent was destroyed, he risked his life to protect these people.
No wonder this group of people could survive such a huge destruction even though their cultivation wasn't high.
He didn't expect this leader to be so righteous. In order to give some people with low cultivation in Saint Watchtower Continent a chance to survive, he ended up like this.
"The earth veins here have experienced more than one collision," the leader of Saint Watchtower Continent said.
"This is Li Chuan. Not long ago, it was connected to the Extreme Court Continent. It can be considered a small independent territory." Zhu Minglang roughly explained the situation of Li Chuan to the leader.
"Saint Watchtower also has new lands that are connected to it. It's just that these new lands are mostly in bad shape. Your place here is already very good. You have good leadership," the leader of Saint Watchtower said.
"It's my wife who has good leadership." Zhu Minglang scratched his head awkwardly.
The leader of Saint Watchtower was also stunned. Then, he smiled reluctantly.
In terms of survival, he, the leader of Saint Watchtower, couldn't even compare to the female ruler of a piece of land. At least in this situation where the Star Continent was colliding, he and his people's last chance of survival depended on this man's kindness.
"The emperor of Extreme Court will most likely kill us. Do you really intend to go against his wishes and take us in?" the leader of Saint Watchtower asked seriously.
Until now, he still remembered the person who was stepped on by God Hua Chou.
Just because of a little hesitation.
Hong Geng would never have thought that it would bring such irreversible consequences to his own Star Continent.
After going through such destruction and torture, he no longer had the ambition and courage of an emperor. He just wanted these people to live.
"If it were anywhere else, you wouldn't have a chance to survive," Zhu Minglang said. "But Li Chuan should be suitable for you. Besides, in a month or two, the Fog of Nothingness will disperse. Li Chuan will also face a huge test. At that time, I will also need your strength."
There were many strong cultivators in Saint Watchtower. They should still be in the crater basin.
If they tried to find a way to survive in Shenjiang, not many of them would be able to survive in the end. They didn't even know the laws of the night.
But if they were brought to Extreme Court, they would at least have time to recuperate and explore.
Zhu Minglang took in the people of Saint Watchtower Continent for Li Chuan's sake. Li Chuan needed more strong cultivators, especially King Level ones.
"I understand what you mean." The leader of Saint Watchtower, Hong Geng, nodded.
If a person saved them purely out of kindness, they couldn't count on him, because kindness had a bottom line.
But if they helped each other for a better survival, this relationship would be more reliable.
"We will take care of your people, and the strong cultivators of Saint Watchtower Continent will be of use to us," Zhu Minglang said.
Taking care of the people could also be understood as hostages.
Zhu Minglang had to ensure that these people wouldn't rebel after he brought them here.
Also, Zhu Minglang had to sign a curse contract with the leader of Saint Watchtower.
This guy's cultivation was ridiculously high. After he recovered, he could probably destroy the entire Li Chuan by himself. Even the big sects and clans wouldn't be able to stop this Saint Watchtower Emperor.
This kind of person had to be restricted.
Thinking back, his mother-in-law had ended up like that because she trusted the Wu Clan too much.
With such a bloody lesson, Zhu Minglang couldn't let down his guard against these people.
Once, the Absolute Mountain City-State had accepted the traitors of the Wu Clan. Now, Zhu Minglang had used it to shelter the refugees of the Saint Watchtower Continent. History could not repeat itself!
"My soul has already sinned so much that it's beyond redemption. So what if there's another curse? If this curse can bring some life to my few remaining people and let them have a trace of peace in this chaotic world, it's a gift." Saint Watchtower Emperor Wang Honggeng agreed to all of Zhu Minglang's requests.
There was nothing he couldn't let go of.
Even his own dignity.
Although this curse contract was a complete submission to a person, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore.
Moreover, compared to Hua Chou's Tyrant God method, Hong Geng believed that Zhu Minglang was a more trustworthy person. At least when he could have killed at will and watched coldly from the sidelines, he chose to lend a helping hand.
