Following Stupa Mountain Sovereign's order, the army broke free from the encirclement.
"Let's go!"
Following the order, Prince Jin led the army and left at the fastest speed possible.
At this moment, Stupa Mountain Sovereign and Ying Guang had calmed down and exchanged glances.
Everything that had just happened was too shocking, causing their minds to go blank. However, they had regained their composure and wisdom.
The two of them immediately had a bold idea.
How did everything happen?
Could Shen Lang really destroy the Southern Sea Region's ancient ruins from a few hundred li away? He wasn't a god.
Even though he had performed many miracles in the past, this matter was still too unbelievable.
In that case, what had actually happened with the boldest imagination?
Sect Leader Ren and Ying Guang were both extremely intelligent people. They immediately made a huge connection and came to the same answer.
Was this Shen Lang a substitute? Or a fake?
The real Shen Lang had already infiltrated the ancient ruins in the southern sea. Only he could activate the energy core control room and detonate those ancient energy cores.
The two of them exchanged glances and were even slightly excited.
If that was the case, what did it prove?
It proved that they still had a chance to capture Shen Lang.
Even though the encirclement had been broken and Prince Jin and the rest had started to escape, they were still thousands of miles away from the Raging Tide City. If they wanted to be completely safe, they would have to reach the coast and board the Raging Tide City's fleet.
Such a long distance would take at least a month.
During this time, Stupa Mountain's army could eliminate them at any time.
Next, the two of them looked at Shen Lang, hoping to find a flaw in him.
Both parties were 1,500 meters apart, but Sect Leader Ren and Ying Guang's martial arts were too high. Even at such a distance, they could see clearly.
However, they really couldn't find any flaw. Sect Leader Ren and Ying Guang knew Shen Lang like the back of their hands. If it was a substitute, it would be impossible to hide it from them.
However, this person before them was completely Shen Lang. Not only did he look like him, but his expression and even his aura were the same. No substitute could be so similar.
The two of them looked at each other again and exchanged their thoughts.
It was easy to find out if Shen Lang was a substitute. If they could find the real Shen Lang in the ancient ruins, it would prove that the one in front of them was a substitute.
There was still a lot of time. Prince Jin and the tens of thousands of people would need at least a month before they could completely leave.
Therefore, if the real Shen Lang was in the ancient ruins, he would have to stay inside for at least a month.
This one month was more than enough for them to find Shen Lang in the ancient ruins and surround him.
"I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to check on the damage in the ancient ruins," Sect Head Ren said.
"Brother Ren, don't worry," Ying Guang said.
Then, Stupa Mountain's Sect Master Ren rode the Ancient Vulture and flew towards the entrance of the ancient ruins in the southern sea of the Black Rock Island in the east.
Why didn't they enter from the ancient ruins of Vajra Peak?
Of course not.
First of all, the entrance to the Vajra Peak's ancient ruins was closed after everyone had left.
Secondly, Sect Leader Ren didn't know that the energy in the Vajra Peak's ancient ruins had been depleted. He also didn't know that the energy whirlpool between the two ancient ruins had closed.
… …
Just like that, Stupa Mountain's Sect Leader Ren first flew to the Black Rock Island and entered the ancient ruins in the southern sea of the Black Rock Island. Then, he flew a few thousand miles in the ancient ruins and arrived at the original location of the energy whirlpool.
Along the way, his heart was bleeding. The destruction was too severe. The ancient ruins within a few hundred miles had been destroyed, and many places had been flooded by seawater. At least a hundred secret warehouses and secret laboratories had been completely destroyed.
"Sect Leader, the damage is very, very great. At least two thousand square kilometers of the ancient ruins have collapsed, and more than ten thousand people have died."
Hearing this, Sect Leader Ren couldn't help but spit out blood again.
More than ten thousand people died?
"Because the area where the big explosion occurred is the core area that we are currently developing. There are many Scholars, Grand Scholars, and the guarding Hell Legion."
"Currently, we have sent tens of thousands of people to repair the dome and cracks. Fortunately, these areas of the ancient ruins are isolated from each other. Otherwise, the entire Antiquity City would have been submerged. Even so, the situation is still very dangerous." Elder Lin said, "Once another big explosion occurs, the entire ancient ruins may be completely submerged by the seawater. When that happens, it will be even more difficult to develop it."
"Sect Leader Ren, the entire ancient ruins are very, very fragile." The Grand Scholar said, "We really can't let another big explosion occur."
Sect Leader Ren said, "Who was the person guarding the energy whirlpool at that time?"
"It was my younger brother, General Lin Yan of the Hell Legion." Elder Lin said.
Sect Leader Ren said, "Let him come here immediately."
After a moment, General Lin Yan of the Hell Legion came over and knelt down, "Greetings, Sect Leader."
Sect Leader Ren said, "When did the energy whirlpool disappear?"
General Lin Yan said, "According to the time method invented by Shen Lang, it should be around two o 'clock in the afternoon."
Sect Leader Ren said, "At the moment when the energy whirlpool disappeared, was there anyone behind it?"
"No." General Lin Yan said, "After the energy whirlpool disappeared, I immediately sent more than a hundred people through the special passage to explore, but they didn't find anyone."
Sect Leader Ren said, "After that, did anyone sneak into our ancient ruins?"
General Lin Yan said, "No."
Sect Leader Ren said, "Did anyone come from the other side of the energy whirlpool?"
General Lin Yan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, there were four people! Two Special Warriors were escorting two prisoners, both of whom could be considered as Shen Lang's trusted subordinates, one was called Wu Lie, the other was Lan Da. "
Sect Leader Ren's face suddenly trembled, "Are you sure those two were our Special Warriors?"
General Lin Yan said, "I'm sure, it should be because I asked him to take off his mask, he indeed has the characteristics of our Special Warriors."
Special Warriors had all gone through more than one blood meridian transformation, so their facial and physical characteristics were very obvious.
Sect Leader Ren's face trembled, he immediately deduced that those two people were most likely Shen Lang and Chou Yao Er.
"Where did those two go?" Sect Leader Ren asked.
"The second prison." Lin Yan said.
Sect Leader Ren said, "Immediately send people to the second prison to search, see if those two prisoners are there?"
General Lin Yan of the Hell Army said, "Sect Leader, the second prison was also within the range of the explosion, so even if those two prisoners were there, they would have been blown to ashes long ago."
Sect Leader Ren's face changed, he said loudly, "Immediately gather all the Special Warriors in the ancient ruins, all the Hell Army, and search the area within a hundred miles. Give me the map, give me the map."
Very quickly, the map of the ancient ruins appeared in front of Sect Leader Ren, all the buildings and the layout of the ancient city were clearly shown, and the areas that had been destroyed were also marked.
Sect Leader Ren quickly calculated on the map, then eliminated them one by one.
His target was the energy core control room, because only here could the energy core self-destruct be carried out.
"Here, the energy core control room 39." Sect Leader Ren said, "Men, follow me here."
Then, Sect Leader Ren led a few elders and a few hundred special force warriors towards the control room of energy core number 39.
It had to be said that he was indeed very powerful, to be able to find the exact destination in such a short period of time.
… …..
A quarter of an hour later!
Stupa Mountain's Sect Master Ren led a few thousand people to surround the control room of energy core number 39.
"Shenlang, I know you are inside," Sect Leader Ren said slowly, "that person outside is your substitute, right? It's too similar, there are no flaws at all, it's simply amazing. "
There was no response from the energy core control room.
"This place is really too far away from Raging Tide City," Sect Leader Ren said. "So if Prince Jin and the tens of thousands of people want to return, it will take at least a month. What are you going to do during this period of time? Are you going to stay in the energy core control room forever?
There was still no response from inside, but Sect Leader Ren firmly believed that Shenlang was inside.
"Men," Sect Leader Ren said.
Immediately, the Grand Secretary came forward.
Sect Leader Ren said, "When can the door of the energy core control room be opened? How long will it take to crack this password? "
Grand Secretary Futu Mountain said, "The energy core control room is not important, so we didn't do the relevant calculations. We need to start from zero, at least three months."
Sect Leader Ren immediately wanted to slap this Grand Secretary to death.
"Bring Bitter Joy here," Sect Leader Ren ordered.
Three whole days later.
Bitterhead Joy was brought over. He was still a battle monster without any intelligence.
"Shenlang, Bitter Joy is not only a person with Jiang Li's special bloodline, but also your most direct descendant. Sect Leader Ren said, "In order to save Prince Jin and the others, you are willing to risk your life. If you still don't appear, I will kill Bitter Joy in front of you."
The energy core control room was still silent, there was no response.
"Shenlang, I know you are inside," Sect Leader Ren said. "Right now, Prince Jin and the others are less than 500 miles away. If you want to continue threatening me, you have to stay in the energy core control room."
"I will count down from ten. If you still don't appear, I will behead Bitter Joy."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six … two, one, zero!"
Sect Leader Ren's countdown ended, but there was still no response from the energy core control room.
"Kill!" Sect Leader Ren ordered.
Elder Lin slashed down with his sword, intending to chop Ku Tou Huan's head into two.
However …
His sword had just slashed Bitter Joy's neck when it immediately stopped.
Because there was still no response from the energy core control room. He couldn't possibly kill Bitter Joy for nothing, right? He had already become a battle monster of Stupa Mountain.
Next, Sect Leader Ren surrounded the energy core control room for another five days and used all kinds of threatening methods, but there was still no response from inside.
The more it was like this, the more certain Sect Leader Ren was that Shenlang was inside.
"Continue to surround it," Sect Leader Ren said, "Shenlang and Chou Yao Er must be inside, don't let them escape."
"Yes!"
Sect Leader Ren rode the ancient vulture and left, returning to the surface.
… … …
12 hours later, Sect Leader Ren once again returned to Shenlang.
Now that a few days had passed, Prince Jin and the tens of thousands of people were more than 1,000 miles away.
Even if Mirror was impersonating the Shenlang, it was impossible for him to stay at an altitude of 13,000 meters for a few days and nights. He would disappear for half of the time every day to let Da Chao rest and himself recover.
But at this time, he happened to be here, because he wanted to make sure that Stupa Mountain's army couldn't chase after him and stayed where they were.
Sect Leader Ren said slowly, "You are not the real Shenlang, you are just a substitute."
Mirror flattened its mouth and shrugged its shoulders. It didn't give any response and didn't reveal any flaws.
Sect Leader Ren said, "Shenlang is still in my ancient relic, energy core control room number 39. I have already surrounded him so tightly that he can't escape even if he has wings."
Mirror still didn't say anything.
Sect Leader Ren said, "So do you know what will happen in this case?"
"I'd like to hear the details," Mirror said with a smile.
Sect Leader Ren said, "You and Shenlang couldn't communicate with each other over a long distance. The two explosions at the beginning were completely at the agreed time, and you were just acting along with the explosions. Jin Jun's tens of thousands of people have only walked a little over two thousand li. My more than one thousand special warriors can easily catch up to them and start a massacre. Shen Lang, who is in the ancient ruins, has already been completely surrounded by me. He doesn't know what happened outside, so there won't be a big explosion. "
Mirror still smiled and didn't say anything.
Sect Leader Ren said, "Snow Eagle Corps, get ready to catch up with Prince Jin's army and kill 10,000 people first."
"Yes!" the leader of the Snow Eagle Corps said.
Then, the 1,000 snow eagles soared into the sky and chased after Prince Jin.
According to Sect Leader Ren's order, they would kill 10,000 people first.
Of course, killing 10,000 people wasn't the goal. Although it was partly to vent his anger, it was ultimately to prove Sect Leader Ren's deduction.
The Shenlang in front of them was fake. He was just a substitute. The real Shenlang was in the energy core control room.
These 1,000 snow eagles were all Special Warriors. It would be a piece of cake for them to kill 10,000 of Prince Jin's men. They could even finish it in a few minutes.
"Substitute, it's not too late to tell the truth and surrender now." Sect Leader Ren sneered. "Otherwise, 10,000 of Prince Jin's men will die."
Ying Guang said, "Shenlang substitute, didn't you claim to be Shenlang? Didn't you claim to be able to continuously destroy our ancient relic? Now that we're going after Prince Jin again, you're going to perform the great destruction again. You're going to perform the miracle of the great explosion again. "
Sect Leader Ren said, "Prince Jin is already 2,300 miles away. For the Snow Eagle Corps, they can catch up with him in six hours at most and then start a massacre."
Mirror started to clap.
"Clap, clap, clap …" Mirror laughed. "What a brilliant deduction. It's almost flawless. Now, let's change the way the game is played. Sect Leader Ren, order your Snow Eagle Corps to not take another step forward. Don't chase after my men. Stay where you are and don't move. "
Sect Leader Ren said, "Why?"
Mirror said, "In about 13 hours, the great explosion will start again. Moreover, it will explode every 24 hours. Right now, the dome of your ancient relic ruins must be on the verge of collapse. As long as there's another great explosion, the seawater will surge in and drown the rest of your ancient relic. "
Sect Leader Ren's face twitched.
Mirror said, "Because I've set up a self-destruction program for the 50 large ancient energy cores and set the self-destruction time. When the time is up, they will explode. It's very simple to prevent them from exploding. Just enter the password to stop the self-destruction. But it's a pity that only I know the password. "
Sect Leader Ren and Ying Guang's expressions changed.
Mirror said, "The next energy core to explode is number 135. It has a diameter of about six meters and contains close to 100 tons of metallic hydrogen. Once it explodes, you can imagine the power. If you don't believe me, why don't you go and take a look?"
Sect Leader Ren's expression changed again and he waved his hand.
Wu Jue flew over on an ancient vulture.
"Enter the ancient relic and check on number 135," Sect Leader Ren said.
"Yes!" Wu Jue replied.
Mirror said, "The energy in the ancient relic of Vajra Peak has been exhausted. Therefore, the entrance and exit have also lost control. You can enter and exit from the ancient relic of Vajra Peak. This way, you will only be able to travel less than 100 miles."
Sect Leader Ren nodded.
Wu Jue entered the ancient relic from Vajra Peak, passed through a special passage, and entered the ancient relic of the southern sea region. There was almost no air here. Therefore, Wu Jue's ancient armor had to carry its own air.
He rushed to number 135 energy core as fast as he could. This large energy core was responsible for the energy of three secret laboratories and a secret armory. Once it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not many of these secret laboratories were destroyed. The key was that the dome was shattered and seawater gushed in.
Previously, they only dared to detonate small energy cores. Moreover, even if the secret armory was destroyed, the weapons like the Dragon's Regret were very sturdy and would not be destroyed. However, the things in the secret laboratories would not be left behind. They would all be destroyed.
"Quick, quick, quick …"
Wu Jue rushed to the front of the huge number 135 energy core. As expected, he heard the self-destruction countdown. According to the frequency, he could calculate that there were about 10 hours left before the self-destruction.
"Quick, order the team of scholars to immediately activate the self-destruction of this energy core," Wu Jue ordered loudly.
Then, dozens of scholars rushed over. They tried everything they could to find the password, but it was destined to be in vain.
… …
A few hours later.
Wu Jue once again returned to Sect Leader Ren and Ying Guang.
"Sect Leader, Prince Ying, the ancient energy core number 135 is indeed on the self-destruction countdown. There are less than eight hours left. I have already stopped the team of scholars from cracking it. They are trying their best to deactivate the self-destruction, but I don't have much hope," Wu Jue said with a trembling voice.
Sect Leader Ren and Ying Guang closed their eyes in pain.
Mirror sneered. "Now you believe me? There are still 25 ancient energy cores in the entire ancient ruins that have entered the self-destruction countdown. They will explode every 24 hours. You want to rely on your team of scholars to crack the password? It's completely impossible. There is only one way to protect your ancient ruins, and that is for me to give you the password. "
Sect Leader Ren and Ying Guang twitched again. They had once again lost the initiative.
Mirror said, "From now on, every 24 hours, I will send someone to deliver the password to deactivate the self-destruction of the energy core. Of course, there is only one condition. Your army must not give chase. Let Prince Jin's tens of thousands of people return to Fury Tide City safely. What if I find out that your army is dishonest? What if one of Prince Jin's tens of thousands of people is killed or injured? Please accept the misfortune of the continued destruction of the ancient ruins. "
Next, he threw a ball down.
"Inside this ball is the password to deactivate the self-destruction of energy core 135," Mirror said. "Then I won't be accompanying you. Goodbye!"
Wu Jue stepped forward and caught the ball. He examined it carefully before handing it over to Sect Leader Ren.
After Sect Leader Ren opened it, there was a piece of paper with a password written on it. There were more than 30 characters on it. It was indeed impossible to crack.
"Use this password to deactivate the self-destruction of energy core 135 and see if it works," Sect Leader Ren said.
"Yes!" Wu Jue replied. Then, he entered the ancient ruins of Mount Jingang again and passed through a special passage to return to energy core 135 in the ancient ruins of the southern sea region.
After entering the password on the paper, he successfully deactivated the self-destruction program of this energy core.
… …
A few hours later, Wu Jue appeared in front of Sect Leader Ren again.
"Sect Leader, what Shen Lang just gave us is indeed the password to deactivate the self-destruction of the energy core. Also, we found out that ancient energy core 153 has activated the self-destruction program. The countdown is 28 hours. Our team of scholars has already started to crack it, but it should be … "
Sect Leader Ren let out a long sigh.
At this moment, Shen Lang and his men had already disappeared without a trace.
"Order all the troops to retreat and return to the base," Sect Leader Ren said. "Stop the pursuit of Prince Jin and wait for Shen Lang to send us the password."
Following Sect Leader Ren's order, the 100,000 troops completely retreated. The 1,000 Snow Eagle Army also completely retreated and stopped pursuing Prince Jin and his men.
… …
Just like that, 25 days later!
Prince Jin and his men successfully boarded the battleship of Nu Tiao City and returned to Nu Tiao City.
At this point, Shen Lang's plan to save Prince Jin was a complete success.
Shen Lang, Sect Leader Ren, and Ying Guang had achieved a complete victory in this game.
… …
In the past 25 days, Shen Lang would send people to deactivate the self-destruction password every day.
On the last day!
All the energy cores in the ancient ruins of the southern sea region had stopped self-destructing.
But just in case, Sect Leader Ren still ordered thousands of scholars, thousands of special warriors, and countless hell legions to temporarily retreat from the ancient ruins.
He led a few special warriors and continued to surround the energy core control room.
He still believed that Shen Lang was definitely inside.
As long as they surrounded this place, Shen Lang would definitely not be able to escape.
And at this moment!
"Rumble …"
The door that had been closed from the beginning to the end opened.
Dozens of special warriors rushed in, but it was empty inside. There was not a single shadow.
Sect Leader Ren walked in.
"Sect Leader, Shen Lang is not inside," General Lin Yan said. "There is no one inside."
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Shen Lang was definitely controlling everything in this energy core control room. How could he not be inside?
The one outside should be Shen Lang's substitute.
And at this moment!
"Beep beep beep beep …"
Suddenly, a familiar ear-piercing sound could be heard. This was the alarm of the energy core's self-destruction countdown.
Wu Jue was horrified. "Sect Leader, this is a trap set by Shen Lang. He guessed that we would definitely enter this place, so he wants to blow us up completely."
Go, go, go!
Actually, before Wu Jue could speak, Sect Leader Ren had already retreated at lightning speed.
The second was Wu Jue. The remaining dozens of special warriors unleashed the power of the ancient armor to the extreme and retreated frantically.
"Beep beep beep beep …"
The alarm of the self-destruction countdown became more and more urgent.
Then …
"Boom boom boom …"
A terrifying explosion occurred.
An energy core exploded.
The energy core control room was razed to the ground. Following which, a huge crack appeared on the dome of the ancient ruins and seawater surged in.
Sect Leader Ren's eyes were about to pop out as he shouted, "Isolate this place, isolate this place."
If they didn't isolate it in time, the remaining ancient ruins would be submerged by the seawater.
His heart was screaming and he was about to vomit blood.
They had actually lost so badly in this game.
Not only did he allow Prince Jin's tens of thousands of people to return to Fury Tide City unscathed, his ancient ruins were also destroyed.
His body trembled violently and his head felt dizzy.
Then he turned to Ying Guang and said, "Order Ying Wuming to attack Sky Yue City and exterminate the Ning clan's royal family."
Revenge, revenge, revenge!
He must take revenge, the bloodiest revenge.
…
After the explosion of the energy core control room ended, the dome had already been torn apart and the area was completely submerged by seawater.
A crack appeared on the ground of the energy core control room and four figures came out.
Shen Lang, Chou Yao'er, Lan Da, and Wu Lie.
Two of them were wearing ancient armor while the other two were wearing the armor of the Hell Army. When the explosion occurred, they had escaped by hiding in the underground secret room.
"The dome here has already been destroyed. It leads directly to the surface. Wu Lie, Lan Da, the two of you immediately rush out of the sea and return to the surface. Find a place to land and return to Fury Tide City," Shen Lang ordered. "Chou Yao'er and I still have important matters to attend to."
"Yes!" Wu Lie and Lan Da swam upstream.
As for Qiu Yao 'er, she carried Shen Lang and flew towards the west.
Making use of this precious chaotic time, he rushed past the original energy whirlpool, passed through the ancient special tunnel, passed through the Vajra Peak Ancient Ruins, and entered the Ancient Plaza Ancient Ruins. He wanted to go to the Ancient King's Coffin to retrieve the King's Sword.
It was the sword that he couldn't pick up the last time.
He already had the Ancient King's Ring and the Dragon's Heart.
According to his guess, this set of equipment had three parts. The Ancient King's Ring was for protection, the Dragon's Heart was for defense, and it was still lacking an offensive equipment.
Once he had all three pieces of equipment, Shen Lang might be able to find a way to defeat Ying Wuming fair and square.
These three precious pieces of equipment formed a set, and Shen Lang named the Dragon's Sword.
Shen Lang guessed that the sword held by the King in the ancient plaza's sarcophagus might be the Dragon's Sword.
It was the key to defeating Ying Wuming.
… … …
Chou Yao'er carried Shen Lang through several hundred kilometers of the special ancient passage.
It had already been a month since the ancient ruins of Vajra Peak had used up all of its energy. The air inside had long since been depleted, and it was no longer suitable for anyone to survive.
Chou Yao'er carried a few oxygen tanks and carried Shen Lang as she ran.
Half of the special ancient passage had already been severely damaged. Not only was there no air, but the temperature was also shockingly high. However, Chou Yao'er, who was wearing the ancient armor, was completely fine.
At the end of the ancient passage, the energy whirlpool was also gone.
It was the energy whirlpool between Vajra Peak and the ancient plaza. It had disappeared because it had used up all of its energy.
Shen Lang and Chou Yao'er directly crossed the boundary and entered the ancient plaza.
The energy here was also about to run out because it was very dark.
The entire plaza was still as eerie and quiet as ever.
Hundreds of thousands of statues of the ancient humans still stood there in neat rows.
Chou Yao'er couldn't help but be stunned when she saw these statues.
"Hurry, we have to move fast," Shen Lang said. "Bring me to the hall in the middle."
Chou Yao'er carried Shen Lang and quickly rushed into the hall in the middle of the plaza.
There was a sarcophagus inside.
Perhaps the Ancient Dragon's Sword was inside.
He would soon have all three pieces of equipment.
Shen Lang pressed his palm into the palm-shaped indentation on the sarcophagus and pointed the Ancient King Ring at the indentation.
"Rumble …"
Instantly, the sarcophagus opened.
Boom … The Dragon's Heart device in Shen Lang's heart shook violently.
The corpse of the ancient monarch was still lying there quietly, holding onto the glorious and luxurious sword in his hand.
Was this the Dragon's Sword?
Was this the key weapon that Shen Lang would use to defeat Ying Wuming? The most important piece of the Ancient King's equipment?
Shen Lang reached out and grabbed the sword.
Last time, he couldn't lift it even after using all his strength, but this time, he easily picked it up.
This sword was originally an ordinary golden sword, but when Shen Lang held it in his hand, it instantly emitted an incomparably bright light.
It let out a series of roars that sounded like the roar of a dragon.
And at this moment!
Suddenly, there was the sound of a slap.
"Sire Shen Lang, long time no see. How have you been?"
