The night was dark, and a gray sandstorm enveloped the entire city. Visibility was less than one or two meters.
Accompanied by a long, dull roar of a beast outside the city, there was actually someone riding a horse on the gray street. This person seemed to have lived on the trash planet all year round, otherwise he wouldn't have come out in the middle of the night. Secondly, only trash planet people knew that riding a horse in such weather was the safest.
An old horse knew the way, so there was no need to find the way himself.
The immortal horse's speed was neither fast nor slow. With a rhythmic clatter, the man and the horse had already left the city, galloping along the main road for a while. After a while, they finally arrived at the entrance of an extraordinary manor.
However, the atmosphere of the manor today was not very good. White cloth was hung on the door, and two rows of black spirit summoning banners were erected on one side of the red-painted door. It seemed that a funeral was being held.
The man dismounted and went straight to the main hall, where moonstones were hung high and wreaths were placed. Beside a large coffin, a young woman was crying bitterly and burning joss paper.
In the middle of the hall, a slightly hunchbacked middle-aged man was looking at the memorial tablet motionlessly with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Mine owner, I'm back." The man who had traveled in the middle of the night hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Only then did Tang Lu slowly turn around and ask, "Who are those people?"
The man replied, "Mine owner, there are a total of twenty-three people. Ten of them are high-class Perfected Golden Immortals, eight are mid-class Perfected Golden Immortals, and five are low-class Perfected Golden Immortals. They entered the main city this morning and stayed in the market until the afternoon, buying a lot of goods. However, according to the shopkeepers' recollection, these people are not businessmen. They only bought goods because they felt that it was profitable. In the afternoon, they left the market and went to the Lin Family's teahouse at the western entrance of the city. They haven't come out yet, so they must have some connection with the Lin Family's teahouse. "
Tang Lu raised her brows, thought for a while, and said, "Continue."
The man said, "According to our observation, Lin Pingzhi of the Lin Family's teahouse is likely to be a spy from the Iron Prison Mountain. Moreover, the tone of the people who bought goods today is very similar to the jailers of the Iron Prison Mountain. More importantly … more than one shopkeeper heard those people call one of them Lord Ye. Therefore, I'm guessing that these people are from the Iron Prison Mountain, and their leader is undoubtedly the new Prison Warden Ye Kong! "
A strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own territory. No matter how powerful Ye Kong was outside, once he entered someone else's territory, he would be controlled by them. Before Ye Kong could figure out the other party, the other party had figured out Ye Kong first.
Tang Lu frowned when she heard the name of Iron Prison Mountain's Ye Kong. Now it seemed that these people had killed his son-in-law. Ten Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had been slaughtered before they could even send out an alarm signal. Only these people could do this!
However, he had to admit that Tang Lu couldn't avenge her son-in-law.
Although he had a backer behind him, that backer had said that he would only take Tang Lu and the other three as apprentices, giving them some treasures, teaching them cultivation, and saving their lives at a critical moment. He would never step forward to be their hired thugs, and the four of them were not allowed to use his name to do things outside.
Therefore, it was impossible for that person to avenge Mi Lingyi. Tang Lu didn't have the guts to offend Ye Kong and the Iron Prison Mountain on her own.
"Go back and rest first." Tang Lu waved her men away, her back looking even more hunched.
His daughter probably saw his fear and immediately stood up. "Daddy, so what if they're from the Iron Prison Mountain? Can they kill my Tang Family's people at will? If we don't avenge this, we won't have the face to see anyone in the future, and we won't be able to establish ourselves on the trash planet anymore! Daddy, you have to give me justice. "
Seeing her daughter crying bitterly, Tang Lu felt resentful. The death of ten Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals was a heavy blow to him. He, who was originally ranked first among the four garbage kings, was now ranked last! He couldn't accept it either!
"Daughter, don't cry. Even if I don't kill Ye Kong, I still have to take revenge for you!" Tang Lu said through gritted teeth, her eyes turning as vicious as an eagle's.
At dawn the next day, when Ye Kong walked out of the house, Lin Zequan was already waiting. Following that, Mad Roc, Wu Yong, and the prison guards came out one after another, ready to go sightseeing at Red Tree Ridge.
Actually, they had to listen to the prison guards. They didn't want to sightsee. It would be more practical if they could find a garbage dump to pick up junk.
Just as the group was about to leave, a child ran out from the backyard. He looked like a tiger, and he was Lin Zequan's son. The child also wanted to go to Red Tree Ridge to play, but Lin Zequan scolded him and he didn't dare to say anymore.
The group of people put on headscarves and left the teahouse. Out of the main city, they flew on clouds for another four hours until noon before arriving at Red Tree Ridge.
Mad Roc stopped in the air and looked down at the endless red below. He said, "After looking at the greyish-white barren mountains for so long, suddenly seeing such a sea of red really makes one feel good."
Lin Zequan laughed. "That's why I said this is the most beautiful place on our trash planet. Red Tree Ridge isn't just a ridge of mangroves, but the mountains here are all mangroves. East Seven Ridges and West Eight Ridges, a total of fifteen mountains are all mangroves."
Wu Yong also sighed. "It's beautiful and spectacular. Even a crude person like me is amazed."
When they finished, they noticed that Ye Kong was in a daze. Wu Yong asked, "Sir, sir, sir, what's wrong?"
After a while, Ye Kong looked away and said quietly, "When Ye was young, there was a mangrove forest outside the city of my hometown …"
There was one thing that people of the divine realm, especially those who ascended from the lower realm, could never mention — home. The path to immortality was difficult. Who knew how many dangers they had to go through to reach the divine realm and become an immortal?
But humans were not plants. After experiencing so many things in the lower realm, so many years, so many people, there were bound to be many things that could not be erased. For most immortals, they would never have the chance to return to their hometown, and they would never have the chance to see the people they missed. So, every time their hometown was mentioned, the ascended immortals would sigh.
Presumably, every one of them had a past in their heart.
After the group sighed with emotion, they descended. Ye Kong found the place where Big Jade and the others had come up according to the coordinates. It was a green grassland in the middle of the flowering trees on a mountain ridge.
When Ye Kong arrived, he had already walked out of his thoughts. He smiled. "When they come up in two days, they'll see mangroves everywhere. They'll definitely be happy."
However, Kuang Peng's expression wasn't very good. Others might not know, but Ye Kong and Wu Yong knew very well that Kuang Peng was troubled by something difficult to say.
Wu Yong snorted. "Look at you. I wasn't even this annoyed when I fought Wang Yue. Hey, is your wife very strong? She can't wait to do that thing the moment she sees her? "
Kuang Peng turned around and gave him a punch. "You black bastard, you've never had a wife. What do you know? Scram!"
