Chapter 1988 Emerging from the Mist-Swept Ruins, Muddling the Waters
The Spirit Realm, Qingwu Continent.
A mountainous region was shrouded in gray fog, which covered an area of tens of thousands of miles.
At this moment, a number of cultivators dressed in various styles have gathered outside this gray fog, among whom the most conspicuous are those wearing yellow robes and carrying long swords.
The reason is simple: they all share the surname Zheng and come from Suspended Sky Sword City. They are also the true masters of Green Wuzhou!
Although the gray fog area spans tens of thousands of miles, it is now completely shrouded by array flags from the Zheng family cultivators. Not to mention cultivators, even a mosquito flying out of the gray fog would alarm the Zheng family cultivators.
This land of gray mist is the very entrance and exit of the Void Ruins!
And what the Zheng family did was quite obvious: they wanted to block all the entrances and exits of the Juewu Ruins!
"The Zheng family has actually covered the entire area with array flags. What are they trying to do?"
"In that case, if our sect's cultivators return from the Void Ruins, wouldn't the Zheng family immediately discover any treasures they possess?"
"Could it be that the Zheng family is planning to wait for the treasures of the entire Juewu Ruins to fall into their laps and then monopolize them all?"
"This is outrageous!!"
Many cultivators from various factions were dissatisfied with the Zheng family's actions, but they dared not speak out against it.
There was no other way. The Zheng family had been established in Qingwu Continent for tens of thousands of years and was a veritable behemoth. Although these sects and forces had a foothold in Qingwu Continent, they still had to rely on them.
"Elders, according to reports from some disciples within the clan, many forces are deeply dissatisfied with our blockade."
Soon, a Zheng family cultivator reported these words to the elders of the Zheng family in the area.
"dissatisfied?"
"Hmph! If it weren't for the kindness of my Zheng family, how could these rats have a foothold in Qingwu Continent?"
"That's right. Do you think the Zheng family needs their approval to do what we want?"
Two elders from the Zheng family immediately sneered, their words filled with utter disdain for these so-called sects and forces.
"Ignore them. The murderer of my Zheng family's second elder is still in the Void Ruins."
The Fog Ruins will be closed soon, and the murderer surnamed Mo will naturally fly out of the Fog Ruins, so everyone should be on high alert!
"Once any cultivator is discovered emerging from the Void of Desolation, regardless of their sect or race, we will immediately apprehend them and verify their identity before releasing them!"
Among the elders, the leading old man spoke in a deep voice, his words filled with murderous intent.
“But doing so might incur public wrath. What if it angers the great cultivators of other sects?” a Zheng family cultivator worried.
"Heh! My Zheng family hasn't made a move in Qingwu Continent for some years, to the point that many cultivators have forgotten about our existence."
Remember this: the reason these forces are able to establish themselves in Qingwu Continent is not because they are powerful, but because my Zheng family has taken them in!
Whether in the past, present, or future, there will only be one voice in Qingwuzhou, and that voice belongs to the Zheng family!
The old man sneered, then grinned maliciously, "Whoever is dissatisfied, let him protest with his life!"
"That cultivator surnamed Mo must die!"
"Anyone who gets in our way will die with us!!"
"Yes!!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators were all invigorated and responded by leaving.
Just then, ripples suddenly appeared in the thick fog not far away, causing a large area of gray fog to form a vortex-like phenomenon.
"This is……"
"Are some cultivators about to come out?!"
Upon sensing this scene, the elders of the Zheng family were all moved and immediately teleported outside that area.
"Be careful, everyone. Once we discover that the cultivator who came out is that kid surnamed Mo, we must act immediately and try to kill him on the spot!"
"However, we should also note that the fact that the cultivator surnamed Mo was able to kill the Second Elder indicates that he is not weak, and there is even a high possibility that he is a half-step Great Saint Realm expert."
If the sniping attempt fails, there's no need to pursue them further; someone else will handle them!
The elderly man at the head of the group gave a stern warning.
As soon as he finished speaking, a silver light shot out from the gray mist vortex in front of him and sped away out of the gray mist.
"They're out!"
"Stop him!!"
Upon seeing this, the Zheng family cultivators immediately took action.
In an instant, all sorts of supernatural powers and magical treasures were unleashed, crisscrossing in the air, all locking onto that silver light.
However, as soon as those supernatural powers and magical treasures approached within a hundred feet of the silver light, they all slowed down and eventually lost their target completely.
The silver light streaked across the air and completely disappeared from the area.
"Damn it!!"
"Such speed! What kind of magic weapon is this?!"
"The person piloting this flying shuttle is most likely that kid surnamed Mo!!"
"Chase him! We can't let him escape!!"
The Zheng family cultivators were shocked and furious. They then used their sword escape techniques to chase after the silver light.
"The Zheng family did indeed have an ambush, but a few Saint Venerable Realm cultivators think they can stop me? They're just delusional!"
Inside the Sky Shuttle, Mo Fan sneered repeatedly, then frowned slightly and said, "I wonder where the Great Sage of the Zheng family, who is hiding in the shadows, is."
"Uncle Qian, can you sense that guy's presence?"
Mo Fan asked in his mind.
He knew very well that his real danger was not the Zheng family saints in front of him, but the Zheng family patriarch who was hiding in the shadows!
"There is a powerful aura that is constantly approaching this area."
"However, I don't think your greatest danger comes from that guy."
Grandpa Qian's voice echoed in Mo Fan's mind.
"What do you mean?"
Mo Fan was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Your old flame is here. Looks like she's really determined to wring this melon out of you!" Grandpa Qian joked.
"What old flame... Holy crap! You mean the queen insect is here!?"
Mo Fan's eyes widened suddenly, and he instantly understood the meaning behind Grandpa Qian's words.
"You still say you're not an old flame? I guessed it right away. You're quite something, kid. Now you're even daring to sleep with bugs!" Grandpa Qian burst into laughter.
"You son of a bitch!"
Mo Fan was furious upon hearing this, but he was too lazy to argue with Old Man Qian. He immediately rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and gave the order to Xiao Yin, "Xiao Yin, go back to the entrance we just went to!"
"what?"
"Master, are you sure?"
Xiao Yin was startled upon hearing this.
"With the old monster from the Zheng family making a move in the shadows and the Insect Queen relentlessly pursuing me from behind, it would be better to take a roundabout approach and use these idiots from the Zheng family to hold off the Insect Queen. Perhaps then I will have a chance to escape."
Mo Fan nodded and shared his thoughts.
Although this method is somewhat risky, he feels it is the best option at present.
Leaving aside the old ancestor of the Zheng family, he had personally experienced the terror of the Insect Queen. Even if he managed to escape now, he would probably be caught up by the Insect Queen soon and would find it difficult to get rid of her.
Rather than being passive like this, it's better to drag the Zheng family into the mess and muddy the waters.
As the absolute overlord of Qingwu Continent, the Zheng family certainly has the ability to hold back the Insect Queen. In that case, neither side will have time to attend to other matters, and he will naturally be able to escape unscathed.
