Chapter 1336: Raiding the Jiangtian Sect Again

For the next few days, Chen Ling would sit in front of the radio on time to listen to news from the Xuanyu Realm.

After the brutal fighting on the first day, the Spirit Void Realm, the only one not targeted by the calamity territory, seemed to have sent some combat power to support them. The battlefield in the following days tended to be stable, the Calamity of Delusion still hadn't appeared, and the Xuanyu Realm finally had a chance to catch its breath.

In the reports over these few days, the presence of "General Jian" became stronger and stronger. This mysterious powerhouse, whose origin was unknown, had completely made a name for himself on the battlefield with exaggerated combat records. Whether it was the people of the Esoteric Sect or the citizens of the Xuanyu Realm, they all revered him immensely.

Although Sun Bumian's figure also appeared, he didn't seem to like fighting or being in the spotlight, and news about him was rare... As for Jiang Xiaohua, there was no record of him at all. Chen Ling even doubted if he was in the Xuanyu Realm at all.

During this time, Chen Ling had also entered the Era Archive, but nothing happened.

Yang Xiao went to save his fiancée alone, Su Zhiwei was still with Yao Qing, Lu Xun should have just arrived in the United States not long ago, and Chu Changqing, who was caught in the Gray World, was still missing... Because Chen Ling couldn't change his current calamity appearance, he could only find a mask and wander around the surrounding cities. However, aside from large areas of nuclear ruins, he basically didn't see anything.

Compared to these, Chen Ling's audience expectation value fluctuated, having reached the critical 20% threshold.

Life in the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery was truly too boring. If it weren't for the brief increase in expectation value from the exploration of the Era Archive, Chen Ling would probably be fighting for the stage with that group of viewers again. However, the opening of the Era Archive had a time interval, and after one exploration, he would face a large amount of boring life again...

Chen Ling knew he absolutely couldn't go on like this; he had to find something to do.

Chen Ling walked straight out of the underground palace.

Wu Yi was still in a spherical state. For so many days, aside from the color of the sphere becoming deeper and gradually approaching black, there were no other changes... However, Chen Ling could vaguely feel that Wu Yi's aura within the sphere had grown to a terrifying level. It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could come out of seclusion.

"Call Xie Yi over to me."

Chen Ling said to the two small centipedes waiting at the door.

The two small centipedes understood immediately. One turned and left at high speed, while the other continued to wait respectfully in place, waiting in case the Great King had any other instructions.

Xie Yi was the new name Chen Ling had given to the scorpion poison head. Like Wu Yi, "Xie" was derived from "Scorpion" (Xiezi), making it easiest for Chen Ling to remember and command.

After waiting for less than half a minute, the ground beneath Chen Ling's feet trembled slightly, and a pitch-black scorpion broke through the soil and lay respectfully before Chen Ling.

"Xie Yi, how did the task I asked you to handle a couple of days ago go?" Chen Ling said indifferently.

[Great King, I have followed your instructions and scattered my subordinates, but the Gray World is truly too vast... So far, we have only found two of the kind of villages you mentioned.]

A few days ago, Chen Ling had issued a mission to Xie Yi to find the branch of the Jiangtian Sect. After all, devouring Red Star Willpower was the fastest way for Chen Ling to improve his strength, and the reason he gave it to Xie Yi was because the scorpion was the smartest of the five great poison heads.

Although it had some rebellious intentions before, Chen Ling didn't care, as long as it could obediently be used by him now.

"That's enough."

Chen Ling walked slowly onto Xie Yi's back. "Take a group of people, we're going to the nearest one now."

[Yes!]

Xie Yi carried Chen Ling and crawled straight out, simultaneously emitting bursts of hissing, as if ordering something.

Immediately after, those scorpions that were originally crawling around seemed to have received some kind of signal, gathering toward Chen Ling's side like a flood, surging majestically along the winding and rugged mountain walls toward the exit of the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery.

At the same time, the croaking of toads sounded from afar.

Chen Ling looked in that direction.

"I'll be back in about a day or two. Your task is to guard the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery well."

The toad nodded heavily!

Among these great poison heads, aside from Wu Yi, the one Chen Ling trusted most was the toad. Since he was leaving the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery, he had to have someone of his own guarding the home, and the toad was the best candidate. At least with it there, the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery wouldn't fall into chaos.

With the surge of the scorpion flood, Chen Ling's bright red opera robe gradually disappeared at the end of the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery.

……

Xuanyu Realm.

Three figures walked along the edge of the battlefield, gradually entering the Gray World.

"Are you sure you can leave now?" Sun Bumian looked at Jian Changsheng in surprise. "Although the defense line of the Xuanyu Realm has stabilized, the Falsehood Mountains haven't withdrawn yet... If you leave now, doesn't that count as a breach of contract?"

"I've already told Tian Huai that I'll be back in two or three days at most. Besides, now that there are people from the Spirit Void Realm helping, as long as the Calamity of Delusion doesn't make a move, nothing will happen to Xuanyu." Jian Changsheng shrugged. "If the Calamity of Delusion makes a move, then whether I'm here or not won't change anything."

"That's true."

Sun Bumian's gaze suddenly fell on Jian Changsheng's hands.

Seeing Jian Changsheng carrying a pile of things in large and small bags, Sun Bumian asked puzzledly: "What's this?"

"Oh, I told Tian Huai and the others that I had to leave for a few days, and then the people from the Esoteric Sect and those citizens came to give me some dry rations and snacks to eat on the road." Jian Changsheng grinned. "You know, Square, in the half year that Plum and I wandered in the Gray World, we were really starved to death..."

"Tsk, worthy of the famous General Jian, now you even have citizens lining the streets to see you off when you go out."

"...Pfft, you're just jealous that I have something to eat!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

While Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng were bickering, Jiang Xiaohua on the side sighed faintly.

"It's been many days since I last dreamed of Heart. I hope nothing happens to him..."

"That guy has a tough life; he shouldn't be that easy to kill." Jian Changsheng paused for a moment. "This time when we find him, we'll take him to the Xuanyu Realm together... Hmph, from now on, it's me, Jian Changsheng, who's covering him!"

Jian Changsheng patted his chest, extremely proud, as if he had already beaten Chen Ling to his feet and become the pillar of the 6-generation.

Sun Bumian looked at Jian Changsheng's confident appearance, and his expression suddenly became a bit subtle:

"...Hmm... I hope so."

……

The dense swarm of scorpions surged on the barren land of the Gray World.

Chen Ling sat quietly on Xie Yi's back, his bright red opera robe fluttering in the wind. It had been more than half a day since they left the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery, but they still hadn't seen any sign of the Jiangtian Sect. After all, the Gray World was truly too vast, and the location of the Jiangtian Sect's branch would definitely be chosen in a safe place far away from the calamity territory.

"Xie Yi, how much longer?" Chen Ling asked.
