Chapter 175: Chapter 175 To The Void Ground

Cai Hong and the others had already prepared themselves to set off, while the disciples called by Nangong Yi were arriving one after another. Although Nangong YI already explained to them what happened, they still felt skeptical.

However, after seeing Cai Hong and his nonchalant demeanor and the respectful attitude Nangong Yi and Nangong Bai showed this young-looking man, they completely erased the doubts they had in their minds and chose to believe that this was all true.

After all, Nangong Yi repeatedly warned them not to oppose this young man. Moreover, they were also shown the severed arm of Nangong Yi which Cai Hong cut off with just a gaze. Such action could only be said to be terrifying.

“Senior, we have an airship with us in the sect. We can use it to go there,” Nangong Yi respectfully said with cupped hands.

Cai Hong just simply stared at him and looked at the airship that Nangong Yi seemed to be indirectly bragging about. “You call this an airship?”

To him, this airship was simply trash.

He had seen several airships in the Autonomous Region before and this one simply paled in comparison with those.

Nangong Yi realized his bragging attitude just now and hurriedly pardoned himself, “Senior, this airship isn’t much, but it can take us there for a day.”

“A day? That’s too long,” Cai Hong mused. “I want to suggest something. What if I carry all of you there? I want to be the first one to arrive at that place.”

“Why would you want to arrive there first, senior? With your cultivation level, that Void Ground would simply be useless to you.”

“You said earlier that it is where most sect disciples and some of their leaders gather, right? Hence, to complete His Highness’ mission for me, I need to get there fast. What’s the last sect not subdued yet? Was it the Dragon Phantom Sect?”

“I see,” Nangong Yi replied. “But, senior, you have to be careful. There is an old man from that sect who could use a treasure that could kill a Saint King. Even I will not dare underestimate him.”

“You don’t have to worry. What’s most important to me is to complete His Highness’ mission. Anyhow, that old man, is he the sect master of the Dragon Phantom Sect?”

“I firmly believe that he isn’t, senior. That old man is rumored to be a descendant of their so-called Dragon Ancestor.”

Cai Hong’s face showed surprise. “Dragon Ancestor? Although I have limited knowledge about the other places around Da Shikong, I know a little about the Dragon Emperor Palace. It’s said that apart from the Dragon Emperor, they also have someone backing them from behind. It was said that he was much stronger than the Dragon Emperor himself.”

Nangong Yi was shocked. Despite him not knowing about this ‘Dragon Emperor Palace,’ he could quite surmise that the ‘word’ palace was something that could only be obtained by very strong organizations.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He did not even dare think further about it.

“I don’t know if it was true. Some said that it was only a rumor put up by the dragons of that place to keep humans away. After all, their blood could tremendously help anyone elevate their bloodlines and increase their talents. Dragons, like phoenixes, are creatures who have been born from the beginning of the world,” Cai Hong explained. “Anyhow, let’s go now.”

He then scanned the crowd and counted them with his eyes. “Is this all of you?”

Nangong Yi and his wife bowed at Cai Hong with faces showing both fear and reverence toward the other party. “Yes, senior.”

Cai Hong looked at them for the last time to check whether they are truly prepared for this journey. After ascertaining that everyone else was ready, he said, “If so, then let’s go.”

On the other hand, after Yang Lujia arranged a place for the women in Long Guang’s world, he asked Lan Mingyue about the shaking of the ground in the entire Third Region. He was then explained the same thing as Cai Hong was explained by Nangong YI.

“I see,” Yang Lujia mused. “Do you also want to go there? Now that the heavenly selection does not mean anything to you anymore, as I can give you enough resources for cultivation, would you still want your disciples to risk going there?”

“I still want to risk it if you want to go there,” Lan Mingyue replied in a childish tone. “However, if you won’t go, I also won’t!”

If people were to hear how she talked to Yang Lujia in such a tone, they would drop their jaws in wonder. After all, to others, she was the coldest and most ruthless woman they had ever encountered. She could be said to be devastatingly beautiful, but her personality definitely did not correspond to her beauty.

“You want to go there? How old are you?” Yang Lujia was skeptical. After all, cultivators could physically change their appearances. Old men could become young again. With their high cultivation realm, old women with ugly faces could become young and beautiful.

Lan Mingyue might be old and was just pretending to be young. Who knew how long she had stayed in the Third Region?

“Hmph! What do you think of me? An old lady?!” Lan Mingyue was immediately angered, almost as though she was ready to smack Yang Lujia in the back.

“Even if you’re indeed below a hundred years old, are you a native of the Third Region?”

“Hmph! To become a native of the Third Region is actually quite simple. Staying here for at least 40 years could make this region acknowledge you as a native. After all, I was able to enter the Void Ground the last time it opened.”

Yang Lujia then calculated in his head. “Then, doesn’t that mean that you’re really old? Come to think of it, you said ‘at least 40 years to become a native,’ then…”

“Big brother! Shut up!” Lan Mingyue was pissed off. “You don’t have to tell me! Besides, I’m still young compared to some other geniuses from other regions. I am a genius myself!”

Yang Lujia looked at her contemplatively.

Lan Mingyue also met his gaze. “What is it, big brother?”

Yang Lujia then helplessly shook his head and said, “Nothing, big sister.”

“Hmph—wait, what did you just call me?!” Lan Mingyue’s eyes turned wide and looked at Yang Lujia incredulously. “Arrghhh!”
