In the palace, the Vermilion Bird King, Bai Yang, Chu Hao, and the others had all received the news.
They were also stunned. They never thought that things would develop in this direction.
"I underestimated the fear of these families and sects toward Gu Changge … They would rather leave their homes and go to other regions than fight against Gu Changge with us at this time …"
The Vermilion Bird King's face was pale as he fell from his seat in a daze.
"It's over, it's over …"
He kept mumbling. His face was ashen and full of despair.
"How is this possible … everyone fled in the middle of the night …"
Chu Hao's face was pale as well. He felt as if he was struck by lightning. He could not believe it.
They had already felt hope.
However, all the families and sects had fled out of the blue?
This was completely different from what he had expected!
"The royal family has treated them well. In the face of such a crisis, they did not think of fighting against the enemy with us! They actually fled in the face of danger! "
Chu Hao was so angry that his body trembled. In the end, all that was left was despair.
Could it be that he could only watch as the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird was destroyed?
And he could not do anything about it?
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Grand Tutor Wang …"
At this time, a pale-faced guard outside the palace hurriedly presented a letter.
"Grand Tutor Wang? Does that old man still think of me? "
Hearing this, the Vermilion Bird King stood up and took the letter. His eyes shone with hope, thinking that Grand Tutor Wang was still supporting him.
However, when he finished reading the letter, his face turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning. After a while, he regained his senses as if he had lost his soul.
If Chu Hao had not been quick enough to support him, the Vermilion Bird King would have fallen to the ground.
"What happened to father?"
Chu Hao could not help but ask.
"Even Grand Tutor Wang has left me …"
The Vermilion Bird King was full of sorrow. To him, Grand Tutor Wang was like a father to him.
However, who would have thought that at this time, he would choose to abandon the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird and leave with the Wang family in the middle of the night?
In this letter was Grand Tutor Wang's apology to him.
"This was caused by me?"
Chu Hao also finished reading the contents of the envelope very quickly. His facial expression immediately turned ugly.
Originally, he had a lot of respect for Grand Preceptor Wang, who had taught him since he was a child, but now, he was filled with anger.
"You're spouting nonsense! It was clearly that Gu Changge who had gone too far and forced us into a corner. Why blame it on me? "
"The Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird has treated him well. Yet, at such a critical time, he left without a care in the world. He is such a heartless person. Father, why are you grieving for him?"
Chu Hao's expression was extremely ugly. He was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.
When Bai Yang saw this, he also became silent. He felt that this matter had already reached a dead end and there was almost no way to change it.
Just like what Tang Wan had said earlier, in front of Gu Changge, Chu Hao was as weak as an ant!
"Hao 'er, you have to come up with a solution for your father. The Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird can't be destroyed in my hands! Otherwise, I won't have the face to face my ancestors. From today onwards, Imperial Father will also bear the infamy of the ages and be spurned by future generations … "
"Hao 'er, you must have a way! Imperial Father knows that you must have a way! "
The King of Vermilion Bird's face was ashen and filled with despair. He could not help but grab Chu Hao's hand tightly and plead.
"Imperial Father, I …"
When Chu Hao heard this, he was also in despair. He looked at Bai Yang for help, but all he got was a sigh from Bai Yang.
At this time, even if the Most High Grotto-Heaven dared to intervene, it was too late.
Besides, Gu Changge might not care about the Most High Grotto-Heaven.
"Wan 'er, that's right!"
"Wan 'er can definitely help me. She has met with Gu Changge several times in private … If she can help and put in a good word for me in front of Gu Changge, maybe he will agree to let the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird go."
At this time, Chu Hao suddenly thought of Tang Wan. It was as if he had found a straw to clutch at and hope shone in his eyes.
Facing such a desperate situation, Bai Yang also sighed deeply.
Before this, Chu Hao was not such a person.
He was mature and steady, confident and indifferent. Everything was under his control and there was almost nothing that he could not do.
But now, he was like a headless fly.
He had completely forgotten what he said to Tang Wan before, and how he was angry because Tang Wan met with Gu Changge in private.
This feeling made Bai Yang sigh inwardly. He felt that a good seedling had been driven crazy by Gu Changge!
…
The towering and majestic ancient warship towered above the sky. It was simply like a floating continent that covered everything. Clouds and mist surged, and it was incomparably terrifying!
In the depths of the ancient warship were rows upon rows of palaces and buildings. They were grand and ancient, with the style of the Immortal Ancient Era.
At this time, under these buildings, there was a very secretive dungeon.
The atmosphere was damp, full of rot and blood, making one's hair stand on end.
Beast oil lamps were lit on both sides of the tunnel, making it very dim.
But one could see that the dungeon was divided into two sides.
In the left dungeon, there was a group of frightened cultivators. There were about a hundred of them, men and women of all races. Their auras were different, and the strongest had reached the Saint Realm.
Their hands and feet were shackled, symbols flickering. They were extremely heavy, making it difficult for them to move.
Meanwhile, in the right dungeon, eight people were locked up, three women and five men. The clothes they wore were clearly different from the clothes of the various races.
Moreover, most of their expressions were even more terrified, cowering in a corner. Even though there were no shackles on their bodies, they still didn't dare move.
When they looked at everything outside, they were filled with panic, fear, and despair.
Right now, there were two people who were currently conversing in each other's language.
"A 'Chen, do you think we transmigrated? We were just doing our archaeological work, but in the end, we were struck by that white light for some reason, brought to this mysterious and monstrous world. Moreover, the small bronze boat that suddenly appeared, so why did it suddenly disappear … "
"However, these should be the Qi Refinement cultivators recorded in the ancient legends, right? Not only can they fly through the sky, move mountains and fill seas, even those monsters here are the same size as mountain ranges. "
"Back then, the woman who took action to capture us was simply as beautiful as a fairy. Even though school beauty Xiao is also beautiful beyond mortals, compared to that fairy, I always feel like she's lacking something. What a pity … "
"If we can go back alive and tell the public what happened here, we'll definitely cause a sensation in the world and become famous."
The man who spoke looked simple and honest, tall and sturdy.
However, when he spoke, the shrewdness in his eyes inadvertently showed that he was not as simple as he looked.
"I don't know. Theoretically speaking, we should have transmigrated. Otherwise, this can't be explained at all."
"Before that, we should learn something about this world first. Otherwise, we might not even be able to keep our lives. These Qi Refinement cultivators are not kind people."
"In their eyes, everything is decided by their fists."
The man called A 'Chen said after hearing that.
He looked very handsome, with a medium build.
Moreover, he was not as frightened as the others. On the contrary, he was quite calm. He had been sizing up the environment outside the dungeon.
His original name was Jiang Chen. He was a graduate student majoring in archaeology at a university of geology. He knew a lot about all kinds of ancient relics.
This time, his good friends had come out of the university with their former supervisor. They were heading for a relic that had been discovered not long ago. They were going to investigate it and prepare for their graduation thesis.
However, to their surprise, they encountered a series of weird things in the relic. Many of them were killed on the way.
Some of them found it strange and hurried to leave.
However, they did not believe it, so they walked in.
In the end, they saw a weird thing in the depths of the relic. It looked like an altar. There were all kinds of shining stones around it. It attracted everyone's attention immediately.
Beside the altar, there were many skeletons of giant beasts. It was very scary.
Some timid people were so scared that they almost peed in their pants. Their legs were weak, because those skeletons were not recorded in any ancient books.
They felt like they had opened the gate to hell and saw another scene in this world!
They did not know why, nor did they know who had triggered all this. A brilliant light suddenly appeared on the altar. Then it hit everyone.
Many of them passed out immediately.
When they woke up again, they were in this weird world. They sensed the dangers of this world. There were all kinds of horrible things.
When they had arrived in this world, there had been ten-odd of them, but now there were only eight of them left.
As for the eight of them, no one knew how long they would be able to survive.
"Yeah. We'd better stay alive first. I don't know where that woman is going to keep us."
The big man sighed. His name was Niu Tian. He was very close to Jiang Chen. They would do almost everything together.
They almost wore the same pair of pants.
"Okay."
Jiang Chen nodded, but he could not help but look at the other side of the dungeon. She was holding her knees. Her black hair was like a waterfall. Her facial features were delicate and flawless. Her skin was fair and smooth. She was extremely beautiful.
Xiao Ruoyin.
She was the campus belle Niu Tian had mentioned.
They were in the same school, department, and class.
In many people's eyes, they were a perfect match. Jiang Chen was very knowledgeable and hardworking, while Xiao Ruoyin was very talented and pretty.
However, their relationship was only a little better than that of ordinary friends.
Jiang Chen felt helpless. He knew many reasons were preventing this from happening.
And the reason he had come here for this archaeological expedition had a lot to do with Xiao Ruoyin.
Because she had invited him.
Many of Niu Tian's classmates had also been invited by her.
If it had not been for Xiao Ruoyin, he would have run away as soon as he felt something was wrong. He would not have ended up like this.
However, Xiao Ruoyin did not seem to notice Jiang Chen's look at her. She was still gazing at the void outside the dungeon. She looked calm, as if she was in a daze, but also pondering something.
She did not seem to be panicking like the others. On the contrary, she was very calm, as if she had accepted everything.
"By the way, Ah Chen, did you notice how the bronze airship appeared at that time? I saw a sudden flash of white light, and many people fainted …"
"And a bronze airship showed up suddenly. It took us all the way here."
At this moment, Niu Tian could not help but ask. He looked puzzled.
Although many people had passed out after being hit by the white light, he had not.
That was why he had seen a bronze airship suddenly show up. It looked very old. Even the ancient flag on the airship was shabby. It carried everyone through the vast universe.
Then he could not take it anymore. He fell asleep all of a sudden.
Niu Tian did not know how long he had been on the way. When he woke up, he found himself in this world.
The bronze airship that carried all of them at that time had also disappeared.
Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly, but he soon recovered. Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know where that airship is either. I couldn't help but fall asleep when I saw you fall asleep. I don't know what happened after that."
Among those who had been hit by the white light, besides Niu Tian, many others were conscious. Jiang Chen was one of them.
In fact, he already knew what Niu Tian had said, but there were some things that Jiang Chen didn't know how to say, so he didn't say anything.
The bronze airship that had carried all of them here had actually flown out of his body.
The white light suddenly hit him, and then there was a mysterious and indescribable change in his body. Then, the bronze flying ship appeared, carrying everyone away.
Except for Jiang Chen, no one else knew about this.
Until then, Jiang Chen still could not figure out why such a thing had appeared in his body.
At this moment, Xiao Ruoyin seemed to have overheard their conversation. She turned her head to look at Jiang Chen. She said, "Do you have any idea how to get us out of here?"
Jiang Chen looked over when he had heard the goddess's question. He said with a smile, "I do, but I think it will take me some time. I have to learn their language first."
Xiao Ruoyin's eyes lit up. She seemed to have thought of something, but she shook her head. She said, "I'm afraid we don't have enough time."
Jiang Chen also fell silent. Facing this group of mysterious and powerful Qi Practitioners, they didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Not to mention that there was a more powerful being hiding among this group of Qi Practitioners. Jiang Chen even had the feeling that such a being could destroy the world on his original planet alone.
How could they fight back against such a Qi Practitioner?
At this moment, the only thing he could pray for was that the mysterious bronze airship would show up again and take all of them away.
"In fact, this world … appeared in my dream."
At this moment, Xiao Ruoyin seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly spoke again.
However, Jiang Chen and Niu Tian were shocked by what he had said.
"What?"
Jiang Chen opened his eyes wide. He could hardly believe what he had heard. Xiao Ruoyin said this place had appeared in her dream? Did she already know what would happen when she went to the relic?
Xiao Ruoyin saw the two in shock and disbelief. She seemed to want to say something else.
However, a voice suddenly came from outside the dungeon. She closed her mouth immediately and looked over.
Jiang Chen and the others also looked over when they heard the noise. They looked vigilant, scared, and uneasy. They felt a chill down their spines.
"It's the woman in the black dress who took us away …"
Niu Tian said in a low voice. Then he noticed two people walking over slowly from outside the dungeon.
The woman in the black dress was tall and slim. Her face was covered by a veil. Only her beautiful eyes were exposed. Her eyebrows were as black as jade. She looked gentle and quiet. She was surrounded by a vague fog, which made it difficult to see her surroundings clearly.
However, they had experienced how dreadful she was, especially when they had witnessed their companions die tragically at her hands.
Jiang Chen and the others certainly wouldn't take her lightly. They didn't think she was a good person.
A femme fatale!!
That was what everyone thought.
However, what shocked Jiang Chen and the others was that the woman in the black dress was walking in with a young man that day.
Judging from her expression, she obviously respected the white-clothed man very much.
Before this, the woman in the black dress had given them the impression that she was strong and noble, majestic, like a queen.
Who on earth was this white-clothed man?
In their eyes, this white-robed man's entire body seemed to be glowing. His celestial aura was resplendent, and even his hair was sparkling like ink. He looked incomparably transcendent and divine, like an immortal who lived above the Nine Heavens in legends.
They couldn't even see any joy or anger in his deep eyes. They couldn't see any emotional fluctuation either. They were like a deep pool.
To them, this feeling was the same as when they were sizing up those ants in the past.
Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others couldn't help but shiver. They didn't feel any malice from him, but they couldn't help but feel scared, as if life and death had been separated from them.
The newcomers were Gu Changge and Black Jade.
"Master, they are the group of mysterious people that I captured in the Immortal Ancient Forbidden Land. However, many of them died because of some things. "
Black Jade said to Gu Changge in a gentle voice.
Gu Changge nodded. He looked calm.
Then he looked at Jiang Chen and the others in front of him. He paused for a while when he saw Jiang Chen and Xiao Ruoyin. Then he asked, "Do you want to leave here alive?"
Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and the others were puzzled. They didn't understand what Gu Changge was talking about.
"Master, they don't understand our language," Black Jade explained. She thought Gu Changge didn't know about this.
However, Gu Changge didn't pay attention to her. He looked at Xiao Ruoyin with interest. "Interesting. You can understand what I'm saying."
Xiao Ruoyin looked at him in confusion. It seemed she didn't understand what he was talking about.
"I like smart people. Smart people know what to do at this moment," Gu Changge said calmly.
Hearing this, Xiao Ruoyin's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
She felt like her throat was being strangled by a pair of invisible hands. She couldn't breathe at all. She almost suffocated.
This made her feel a terrible fear.
She didn't know how Gu Changge knew about this. She had disguised herself very well.
"Do you want to leave here alive?" Gu Changge asked again, smiling slightly.
Xiao Ruoyin kept silent. Then she answered in this world's language, "Yes."
