Chapter 1305: Leaving the South Sea

"Why don't you understand?" The Blind Man’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Chen Ling is a Calamity! But you and I are both human... We are on the same side!"

"You’re wrong. The Twilight Society is not on the same side as you." Sun Bumian shrugged. "In a sense, the faster the human domain perishes, the more beneficial it is for us..."

The Blind Man was speechless for a moment.

He almost forgot that the Twilight Society’s goal was to restart the world... But he didn't understand, if that were true, why would the "general star" slay the world-ending calamity in his calculations?

If the "general star" wasn't on humanity’s side, why would he kill the world-ender?

"There’s nothing to say to him." Jian Changsheng scanned the calm lake, knowing that the Lord of the South Sea had no intention of seeing them. He wore his general’s armor, sheathed his long sword, and turned to leave calmly, his black ribbons fluttering in the wind.

"Let’s go... leave the South Sea."

Jiang Xiaohua blinked, silently stopped the curse spell on the wine, and followed Jian Changsheng away.

Sun Bumian intended to leave directly, but after thinking about it, he took a small gold ring out of his pocket with a pained expression and threw it onto the ground...

Clink—

The gold ring rolled gently on the ground and finally hit the tip of the Blind Man’s shoe, falling over.

"This is for the meal. From now on... we don't owe your South Sea Domain anything." Sun Bumian left this sentence behind and also turned to leave.

The Blind Man watched the direction the three were leaving in, his face looking terrible.

He knew... this time he had completely messed up.

But this wasn't his fault either. Who could have guessed that the "general star" would have such a strong aversion to the South Sea Domain because of a personal relationship with a world-ending calamity?

The Blind Man seemed to sense something and looked up, seeing figures coming from the police station and the Pu family, converging here like a giant net.

The sound of Jian Changsheng offending the Lord of the South Sea just now wasn't small; basically, half the domain had heard it. Although those people from the Pu family didn't care that much about the Lord of the South Sea, they still had to go through the motions and see what was going on...

A flash of killing intent crossed the Blind Man’s face.

Those three Twilight Society members had clearly refused to join the South Sea Domain and even sounded like they vaguely supported the world-ending calamity. In that case, should they use force to keep them here?

The Blind Man could feel that although the aura of those three was extremely special, their own strength didn't seem to be very strong. With the current combat power of the South Sea Domain, they could definitely keep the three of them...

Just then, a calm voice sounded from the bottom of the lake:

"Let them go."

The Blind Man was startled and looked back at the lake.

"Just let them go like this? But they don't seem to intend to stand on humanity’s side..."

"As long as that general star can truly kill a world-ending calamity in the future, it is beneficial to humanity." Chu Changqing’s voice lingered in the Blind Man’s ear. "So... what stance they choose now is not important."

The Blind Man nodded slightly:

"I understand."

The Blind Man waved his hand, and the many figures who had intended to surround Jian Changsheng and the others cleared a path...

Jian Changsheng, who had been prepared to fight his way out, saw that these people didn't intend to surround them, so he pushed his speed to the limit. The three figures streaked across the sky and left through the crack in the shell in full view of everyone.

Jian Changsheng seemed a bit surprised:

"Half fortune, half misfortune... You really calculated that right."

"Of course." Sun Bumian looked back leisurely. "But we were in such a hurry just now, I forgot to say goodbye to Teacher Ye."

"It’s fine, there will be another chance... The South Sea Domain was able to break out of the Forbidden Sea and has two demigods guarding it, so there shouldn't be any major changes. It’s safe enough for the Fusion Faction to stay here."

"That’s true..."

"Where are we going now?" Jiang Xiaohua asked gloomily.

The three looked at each other.

Sun Bumian asked tentatively, "How about we go to the Ghost..."

"Which domain isn't surrounded by Calamities right now?" Jian Changsheng suddenly asked.

Sun Bumian was a bit confused, but after thinking about it, he replied truthfully, "It should be the Xuanyu Domain and the Lingxu Domain."

"Then let’s go to the Xuanyu Domain first."

"Are we really not going to care about Red Heart?" Sun Bumian’s expression was a bit strange. "Spade, I know you have a small grudge against Red Heart... but he is our brother from the 6-generation, right? And he was forced back to the Ghost Mockery Abyss for the sake of the Fusion Faction. He must be having a hard time alone right now. Shouldn't we at least go visit him?"

"I agree." Jiang Xiaohua immediately raised his hand. "I miss Red Heart."

"I didn't say we weren't going!"

Jian Changsheng spread his hands, pointing at himself and Jiang Xiaohua with some helplessness.

"Look at us now, we haven't bathed in over half a year, we look like beggars... If that bitch Red Heart sees us like this, who knows what kind of trash talk she'll come up with... At least let us find a place to change into some decent clothes first?"

Besides, don't you all know what Red Heart's personality is like?

Ever since he found out he wasn't human and was being used by the Red King, he's become increasingly cold and ruthless on the surface, but deep down, he's become more and more sensitive... He must be completely heartbroken after returning to the Ghost Mockery Abyss this time. Even if we rush over there, it won't do much good. It's better to give him some time; what if he happens to have figured things out by the time we arrive?"

Sun Bumian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "...What you say makes sense."

"Let's go, to the Hanging Jade Realm!"

……

Chen Ling knew nothing of what Jian Changsheng and the other two had experienced in the South Sea Realm.

At this moment, he was standing on Wu Yi's back. Dense swarms of centipedes were crawling across the land of the Gray Realm. Looking out, apart from the lead-gray clouds, there was only the unchanging, rugged earth...

However, as they ventured deeper, more and more gullies began to appear on the surrounding ground, like hideous scars left behind after the earth had cracked from drought.

"Hiss—"

The centipede beside him let out a soft sound. Chen Ling turned his head and saw that, at some point, the large centipedes had already torn off the hind leg of a small centipede and were respectfully offering it to Chen Ling, their movements as smooth and natural as if they were presenting a snack to their King.

Chen Ling: ...

Chen Ling looked back at the end of the procession and saw a small centipede limping along at the very back, looking quite pathetic. But after seeing the "King" look toward it, it still braced itself and sped up, even appearing to reveal a faint smile...

Chen Ling didn't know how he could see a "smile" on a centipede's face, but he just felt it.

"...Thank you."

Chen Ling took the fresh chicken leg, thought for a moment, and added,

"Next time I want to eat, I'll tell you... Usually, it's fine, no need to tear off a kid's leg for me to eat."

The centipede beside him nodded repeatedly!

As Chen Ling gnawed on the centipede leg while watching the landscape before him, he didn't know how much time had passed before the outline of a massive abyss began to take shape in front of him...
