Liu Ming was a very ordinary steward of the estate.
Under the power of the Azure Dragon Origin Hex, as soon as he responded to Gu Qing Shan's call, he would be frozen in place, unable to move.
But right now, he was walking towards Gu Qing Shan and Zhao Qiong.
— — which meant, he wasn't Steward Liu.
And that white fog was also full of problems.
Within the River of Time, there was endless fog.
The Era of [Chaos] manifested its power as grey fog.
— — the fog form was actually because the level of power was too high, surpassing the limits of dimensions, normal people couldn't see or understand it, which was why it was seen as fog.
Furthermore, the ones who opened the door this time weren't the Patriarch or the Elders, which made the situation extremely unusual.
Any one of these problems was enough to make Gu Qing Shan cautious.
Under everyone's gazes, Steward Liu walked in front of Gu Qing Shan and reached his hand out.
"Come" Steward Liu smiled and said.
At the same time that a ferocious claw full of barbs manifested behind his back — —
Zhao Qiong held a piece of broken red bone in her hand and shouted: "Blood Bone Giant Corpse, kill it!"
A faint bloody figure that exuded an air of vicissitude manifested from the broken bone into a giant skeletal claw that struck Steward Liu's body.
— — boom!
Steward Liu was sent flying by this attack, crashing through the door of the secret room and flying outside.
Zhao Qiong told Gu Qing Shan: "Stay here and don't move"
Saying so, she held the broken red bone in her hand, leapt forward, and chased after Steward Liu through the hole in the roof.
"Why did they start fighting, where's my father? Why isn't he here? "young master Zhang called out.
He rushed out the door.
The surrounding young people all clamored and followed him, wanting to see what was going on.
— — after all, their families were outside.
Only Gu Qing Shan was left in the secret room.
He didn't pretend to have a stomachache, stood up, and casually sat down.
From that attack just now, a hole had been made in the roof of the secret room, so Gu Qing Shan simply released her inner sight to check outside.
The outside was filled with a faint mist. If one were to use their eyes to look, they would probably not be able to see anything beyond ten steps.
Fortunately, Gu Qing Shan's inner sight allowed her to see that Zhao Qiong was wielding the blood-red bone and manipulating a certain entity within the void of space, manifesting a pair of blood-red skeletal claws several dozen meters in length to fight against the insect.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but shake her head after a few moments.
The pair of blood-colored skeletal claws were quite powerful, but the eight-legged human-faced insect was almost indestructible. Although it kept letting out sharp cries as it was beaten, it became more and more ferocious. Its attacks and movement speed became faster and faster.
— — this astonishing speed, he had already experienced it when Gu Qing Shan was communicating with him.
Gu Qing Shan temporarily ignored the two sides and used her inner sight to probe the city.
The next moment, his hair stood on end.
The whole city had been razed to the ground.
In the center of the city, there was a tall tower made of broken limbs, blood, internal organs, and bones. It was constantly emitting mist.
The black insect had used the corpses of everyone in the city to build a tower of bones that was several hundred meters tall!
Blood had seeped deeply into the ground, forming an eerie and twisted shadow.
This hellish scene was enough to drive any normal person who saw it with their own eyes mad.
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight scanned the city again.
Only to see that many of the secret rooms in the buildings had been broken through, other than the walls full of blood, there was nothing else inside.
There were also a few secret rooms that were completely undamaged, most likely because the people inside had reacted quickly enough and teleported away.
The entire city fell into silence within the mist.
Gu Qing Shan sighed emotionally.
The insect that had turned into Steward Liu was able to perfectly inherit the other party's memories and personality, as well as speak the appropriate words.
This alone was enough to fool the majority of people.
Gu Qing Shan's inner sight scanned the area again and returned to the tower of bones.
The area closest to the tower was where the mist was the thickest, almost solid enough to turn everything into darkness — — -
No.
This wasn't pure darkness, if one took a closer look, they would notice that this darkness was constantly surging like a tidal wave.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled the scene he saw during his spirit linking.
At an unknown location, a gigantic skeleton was surrounded by endless darkness.
The darkness was filled with countless black 8-legged human-faced insects.
Could it be — —
Even those insects are coming?
Gu Qing Shan's heart abruptly skipped a beat.
Don't be ridiculous, a single insect is enough to massacre an entire city, never mind Gu Qing Shan, even someone from a major organization like Zhao Qiong has never seen such a thing before.
Then, what exactly is that human-headed snake manifested from the Divine Skill [Unbreakable Mountain Range]?
Why does it have to face such a terrifying Apocalypse?
Gu Qing Shan didn't have time to think any further.
He had to focus on what was in front of him first.
If those endless insects were to come, the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts would most likely fall into the Apocalypse.
"Shannu" Gu Qing Shan called out.
An autumn-water clear blue sword manifested from the void of space behind him, turning into a cold and elegant palace maid.
"Gongzi, do you want to fight?" the palace maid asked.
"Turn into Li San and stand guard here, I'll go take a look" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Understood, be careful, gongzi"
After saying so, the palace maid turned into Li San and sat down on the chair.
Gu Qing Shan turned back into his original appearance and turned to leave.
As soon as he took a step forward, he abruptly stopped.
"What's the matter, gongzi?" Shannu asked.
"That insect is too sly, it's been stalling for time since the very beginning, seems like it wants the Tower of Corpses to complete some sort of ritual" Gu Qing Shan pondered.
He looked up at the hole in the ceiling.
Night had fallen.
It was midnight.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and made up his mind.
His body shook a bit, landed on the ground, and turned into a large orange cat.
Sumeru Thaumaturgy — — [Orange Sovereign Transformation]
"Meow!"
The orange cat spread his paws and dashed away like a phantom, completely disappearing before he even made it halfway there.
[Ghostly Shadow of Night]
"When night falls, you can borrow the abilities of those supernatural items once every night"
Gu Qing Shan had directly used the gourd Adorable's Thaumaturgy [Spotless Jade] to make it impossible for any entity to discover him.
Within the silent ruins of the city, thick fog filled the air.
A cat was silently running under the cover of the night, quickly leaping onto a tall wall.
He crouched down on the wall, looking not too far away.
On the other side, Zhao Qiong and the black insect were locked in a fierce battle.
The orange cat turned to look at another direction.
The several-hundred-meter-tall Tower of Corpses was constantly giving off black fog, turning it into a deep darkness.
— — the darkness seemed extremely distant, but also close in front of him.
It was becoming clearer and clearer.
I need to hurry!
The orange cat swung his tail at an extremely slow pace, quickly making up his mind.
He melted into the darkness and flew towards where Zhao Qiong and the black insect were fighting.
He silently approached both sides, silently waiting for his chance at a suitable distance.
— — this place was already away from the area where the two sides were fighting, and it was a distance where he could intervene at any time.
Both Zhao Qiong and the black insect didn't notice his arrival at all.
"Damn it, why is this happening …"
Zhao Qiong turned to the Tower of Corpses at the center of the city and felt a chill in her heart.
So the most important thing was that tower!
She had a lot of experience with the Apocalypse, so she finally understood.
An Apocalyptic monster would never do something meaningless!
That tower would most likely summon something, perhaps something of the same species as this black insect, or perhaps something even more powerful than it.
The Eastern Desolate Grotto was the wilderness of countless beasts, barren and barren, with no true top-level Combatants here.
So even if she wanted to ask for help, she would need to spend some effort to contact the other grottos.
But this black insect was too sly, as if it could understand the meaning behind every action of his little sister's.
It wouldn't even give me a chance to use a technique to ask for help!
Then the only way is …
Zhao Qiong clenched her teeth and used her skeletal claw to attack several times in a row, forcing the black insect to retreat.
Taking this chance, she turned around and attempted to rush towards the Tower of Corpses.
The orange cat crouched down on one side, then abruptly opened his eyes wide.
Naive!
Too naive, this will definitely anger the insect!
The orange cat used [Ground Shrink] to vanish and reappeared not too far in front of Zhao Qiong.
— — it's waiting here.
Although the black insect was forced to retreat, it noticed that Zhao Qiong was about to rush towards the tower and immediately uttered a high-pitched and hurried cry.
It also knew that the girl in front of it had noticed that it was stalling for time.
Then I won't give her a chance!
From what I've seen in the past few exchanges, I can definitely kill it if I use my full strength, even if I have to pay a heavy price.
The insect's body gave off a layer of black light, then twisted its body and appeared in front of Zhao Qiong.
The black light abruptly began to burn intensely.
The insect is going to kill!
— — it didn't know that an orange cat was hiding in the darkness behind it.
In the time it takes for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, a sword light flashed like a graceful swan!
The sword pierced through the black insect's body and sliced it in half. As soon as the corpse was split apart, it had already turned into nothingness, no longer existing.
Gu Qing Shan wielded the Earth sword and stood where the insect originally stood.
He was waiting here.
Then, he swung his sword.
The Earth sword.
The sword of Earth's Choice.
