"But once night falls and the Yama Dragon appears, we won't have a chance to find that piece of Moon Jade Glass." Zhu Minglang touched his chin and thought about it seriously.
"We have to wait until dusk." Mi Rong said.
Dusk?
At dusk, the stars would appear, and Mi Rong would be able to find that special piece of Moon Jade Glass with the help of the stars.
But dusk was a sensitive time.
Night and day would be dusk, and it would take a long time. If they were not careful, the sun would set, and dusk would cover them. By then, it would be difficult for them to escape from the claws and wings of the Yama Dragon!
"Are you confident?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"We can try. After all, this is something important that can help Brother Zhu." Mi Rong looked serious.
Mi Rong wanted to repay him for saving her life twice.
"Okay, but if it's too dangerous, we should give up. Now, let's help Lady Dong find her lost companions first." Zhu Minglang nodded.
…
The basin created by the remains of the Saint Watchtower Continent was huge. It stretched for a few hundred miles, and many burned forests could be seen, as well as some huge craters.
Because of the terrifying night, even if a King Level cultivator survived, it would be difficult for them to resist the Night Demon Wave. Hence, Lady Dong and Hong Geng were in a hurry to find a place to rest.
Lady Dong and those people should have their own communication marks. After finding a mark, they quickly found a direction.
Not long after, Madam Dong saw her clansmen and citizens in a burning forest.
These people should have been separated by the Yama Dragon and the dark creatures. They could not find the cave from before, so they could only retreat here temporarily.
Seeing Madam Dong, these Saint Watchtower Continent's experts all revealed looks of shock.
In fact, they thought that the people in the cave were already dead. The Yama Dragon's stomp could have buried everyone alive!
"The king is still alive??" The man with the dust on his face said in disbelief.
"Yes, everyone is safe. This Young Master Zhu is the savior of our Saint Watchtower. I hope that you can respect him as much as you respect the king." Lady Dong said.
There were more than a hundred people in the Burning Forest, and all of them were Martial Kings.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that they knew nothing about the night in Shenjiang, they would've had two to three hundred Kings alive. Unfortunately, their numbers were dwindling every night.
"I don't know if the others can survive the Night Dragon's claws. We're trying our best to summon them back, but we don't know how we're going to survive the next night." The man's eyes were filled with frustration and unwillingness.
Now, every night was torture. They hadn't slept well for many days. If it weren't for the fact that they still had some family members in their hearts, they would have broken down long ago.
"It will get better, it will get better. King Hong's injuries have improved slightly. Don't give up so easily. Also, I have good news for everyone. We now have a place to stay. Before the Fog of Nothingness disperses, we don't have to worry about the darkness anymore," Madame Dong said.
Madam Dong immediately explained the matter of Precipice City-State to everyone.
Most of these experts were Madame Dong and Hong Geng's subordinates. When they heard that everyone had been settled and that Zhu Minglang was willing to take them in, they all knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"To be honest, we're already prepared to hang ourselves here. I, Pang Kai, am willing to do anything for Young Master. I won't complain at all," the man with the dusty face said with red eyes.
Among the people that Zhu Minglang had settled down, his wife and children were among them.
These people lived on the belief of protecting their families and clansmen. When they thought that everyone had died in the Earth Vein, they didn't want to hold on any longer …
Pang Kai wasn't King Hong Geng's subordinate.
He was just an idle person. When the mainland was shattered, he protected his family and some neighbors. After he died here, he followed Madame Dong and the others.
This dusty guy had a claw mark on his body. The wound was black and corrosive. According to the others, it was this expert who lured the Dragon of Hell away last night, giving the others a chance to escape.
How could the Dragon of Hell not die after it was lured away?? This guy's cultivation is also ridiculously high! Zhu Minglang thought to himself.
Such a strong person wasn't easy to deal with.
Although he said he was willing to do anything, he realized that there weren't many king realm experts in Li Chuan. It was still possible for him to turn the tables.
Fortunately, Madame Dong understood Zhu Minglang's concerns, so she also made Pang Kai swear on his soul that he would be absolutely loyal.
Pang Kai was someone who planned to commit suicide here, so why would he care about a cursed contract? He believed that Madame Dong wouldn't lie to him, so even though he hadn't seen his family yet, he swore on his soul …
This curse oath was written by Mi Rong in the name of God Xuan Ge. As long as God Xuan Ge's starlight shone on this land, it would have an extremely strong effect.
Unless they ascended to godhood, the curse would remain.
"Big Brother Zhu, I only have two copies of the contract … Big Brother Zhu, you have to take good care of them. If they are destroyed, they will also lose the binding power of the contract." Mi Rong specially reminded him.
This kind of contract was built on special god paper and was infused with the power of a god. The Sage rewarded Mi Rong with two copies, and Mi Rong gave them all to Zhu Minglang.
God's Chosen Big Brother was really a good person.
If he became a god in the future, he would definitely be an outstanding god, just like God Xuan Ge.
But if a person was too good, it was easy to be schemed against, especially since God's Chosen Big Brother had intermittent memory loss. Mi Rong specially reminded Zhu Minglang of the importance of this god paper contract.
Among the refugees in Saint Watchtower Continent, Hong Geng and Pang Kai were probably the strongest. With them restraining the others, he didn't have to worry about them rebelling.
Of course, he had to quickly increase his strength. Relying on others to restrain him wasn't as effective as using his own power.
… …
Zhu Minglang led these people to the ground. As they passed through the complicated maze, Zhu Minglang realized that the fog of nothingness was dispersing. It had sealed off the path that he had marked.
Although Mi Rong could find another path, this meant that if he wanted to pass through this maze to reach Li Chuan, without Mi Rong and his Lantern Jade Mask, it would be impossible.
This was also good.
Only he and Mi Rong could pass through, ensuring that nothing would go wrong.
After sending these people to Desolation City-State, Zhu Minglang and Mi Rong returned to the crater basin.
This time, it was only the two of them.
It was almost dusk.
Mi Rong was also observing the stars in the sky.
The sky hadn't completely darkened yet, but an extremely bright star had already appeared on the horizon. The god that represented it was Yuheng.
Yuheng was the brightest star in this starry sky. It could even be seen at dusk.
At this moment, Mi Rong was using the starlight of this Yuheng god to look for that extremely gorgeous Moon Jade Glazed Stone.
During the day, this Moon Jade Glazed Stone might look like a jet-black broken stone, but at night, as long as one could find it and blow off the ashes covering it, it could blossom with infinite moonlight, ten times more brilliant than a Night Pearl.
Zhu Minglang was quite excited. After all, this meant that little Bai Qi could rely on this Moon Jade Glazed Stone to directly reach adulthood.
"It's in the east. Brother Zhu, let's go in that direction first." Mi Rong found a general direction and immediately told Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang nodded and headed east with Mi Rong.
In this area, there were slash marks everywhere. Those exaggerated sickle wings had almost divided the surface of the earth into several regions, forming valleys, canyons …
"It's not far!" Mi Rong's face lit up with joy.
They jumped down from a huge fault. This was a deep basin. The ground in the basin was undulating, and there were huge gaps. Some places even looked like continuous sand dunes.
The terrain here wasn't very flat. The setting sun was hanging on the horizon, but the afterglow couldn't completely illuminate the deep basin. Some of the undulating areas had even escaped into darkness.
Mi Rong had been telling Zhu Minglang a lot about Tianshu Shenjiang these days, especially the laws of darkness.
Once the sky turned dark, dark whirlpools would appear in the divine border. These dark whirlpools were like gates to the underworld. Nightwalkers would walk out of these dark whirlpools and quickly fill every corner of the Heavenly Pivot Divine Border.
As long as it was dark, dark vortices would appear. This also meant that nightcrawlers might be crouching in some areas of the deep basin where the afterglow couldn't reach.
Therefore, dusk was actually the most complicated time in Tianshu Shenjiang.
Yang spirits coexisted with the creatures of the night!
Originally, as God's Chosen One and God's Descendant, the two of them could already scare off the ghosts of the night. However, an existence like Yama Dragon dared to fly over the head of a God, let alone a God's Descendant and a God's Descendant.
"Brother Zhu, I found it. It's in the long ditch in front!" Mi Rong said.
Zhu Minglang looked into the long ditch. He found that half of the ditch was illuminated by the rusty yellow sun, while the other half was completely dark.
The Chosen One had a keen perception of nocturnal creatures. Zhu Minglang's eyes couldn't help but stare at the dark half of the ditch. He saw a pair of eyes that were enough to make people scared out of their wits!
The eyes were like fire. Just a careless glance made him feel like he had seen the gates of hell. Zhu Minglang felt like he was immersed in bone-chilling water and boiling lava, suffering indescribable torture!
Yan! Wang! Long!
It was crouching beside Yue Yu Liuli!
Zhu Minglang's Adam's apple was moving. What kind of existence was this guy? Was it a God-level creature?
Even though Mi Rong had repeatedly emphasized that no powerful nightcrawler could break the law of day and night, and that they wouldn't dare to expose themselves to the sunlight, Zhu Minglang still felt like the afterglow of the setting sun was not enough to protect his life!
"Quick, it's not coming over yet!" Mi Rong couldn't help but yell.
That ray of afterglow was like a clear dividing line between day and night in the deep trench, cleaving out two completely different worlds. Zhu Minglang could see that piece of jet-black jade slowly being snatched away by the darkness …
Meanwhile, Yama Dragon was following the boundary of the afterglow, slowly moving toward Yue Yu Liuli!
