After having bound Adept Mooncrescent’s storage-typeand his coed
“This is…!”
Ning’s gaze fell upon a blood-red robe This blood-red robe e sword sown onto the sleeve
“A battle-uniform,” Mu Northson said softly “This blood robe is covered with ic treasure…if uess is correct, this should be roup of people who all wear this same robe They’ll be able to join into one entity and unleash an extremely powerful joint attack”
Northson was a genius of the Dao of constructs; he instantly discovered this As for Ning, although he wasn’t able to understand this as clearly as his junior apprentice-brother did, he was skilled in formations and so was able to discover that this war-robe was similar to a Dao-soldier’s armor
“Judging from the complexity of the runes on this blood-red robe…it’s definitely not soanization can produce,” Northson said with a frown “Sects like Snowdragon Mountain are completely unable to produce this sort of uniform war-robe…and in fact, most likely even my master wouldn’t be able to produce it”
“He had the bloodsaid in a low voice “It’s very possible that he has some sort of a connection with the Northmont clan of Stillwater”
“Look at this” Qingqing pointed at a leather parchment They had ree treasure “Don’t touch the barked And then, he carefully inspected the contents on the leather scrolls
“Old Second Brother, I, your brother, a to retire as well However, I will stay here at the Skylands world I don’t want to go back…there’s nothing for ate the enemies for so rown accustomed to it I have so many old brothers here, and I truly don’t wish to leave In the past, you invited et it If, in the future, you are free, please come to the Skylands world…”
The contents of the leather scroll instantly ’s scalp turn numb Retired? Old Second Brother? Skylands world?
“Retired?” Northson called out in shock, “Adept Mooncrescentfrom the blood-red robe…the robe should be the uniform which Adept Mooncrescent wore in that army! Because he was too old and was close to the end of his life, he came back to retire here”
“Old Second Brother?” The Whitewater Hound spoke out as well “Given how long this Adept Mooncrescent had lived for, I i brothers must be extremely old as well, which is why they addressed him as ‘Old Second Brother’ But this Skylands world…”
“Skylands world…?” Ning frowned as well
“Can it be one of the trillions of lesser worlds?” Northson whispered
The Three Realms were incoly numerous The worlds were divided into the three thousand major worlds and the trillion lesser worlds Some of the trillion lesser worlds were naturally created by the universe, while some had been established by major powers!
“Battling in the Skylands world?” Ning mused to hi continued to ponder, while at the saan to carefully read the other leather scrolls So then looked at the other ite’s mind
The Northmont clan of Stillwater must have had a secret, hidden ar been one of thedidn’t feel surprised at the fact that the Northmont clan had a secret army of its own, because the history of the Grand Xia Dynasty included quite a few rebellions by Marquisates The mere fact that Marquisates would attempt to rebel was a testament to hoerful and how deep their roots were They had existed from the FiendGod Era until the present era; this was si a stretch of time
nobody knew exactly how deep the roots of the Marquisates were; it was quite normal for them to have secret armies of their own As for the Skylands world, it must be one of the trillion lesser worlds, or a dimension which a major power had carved out for hi creatures within this world, which is why it needed to be subjugated
“Senior apprentice-brother, what should we do?” Northson said softly “It seeh Adept Mooncrescent was most likely a member of a secret army under the control of the Northmont clan of Stillwater And, by the looks of it, he had battled for ood relationshi+p with those lifelong, battle-tested friends”
Ning nodded After battling shoulder-to-shoulder for counless years…one could iine how close those soldiers were! Now that Adept Mooncrescent had died in his retire down?
“This is trouble” Ning frowned Still, even if he had known Adept Mooncrescent’s background, Ning still would’ve done the sah Adept Mooncrescent had returned to Mount Mooncrescent to retire, he had still proved to be a cala had acquired quite a bit of infor, and the description of the Adept was…he was a sinister, petty man who had offended many
Perhaps because he had so many pent up desires in the army, as soon as he had retired, he had relied on his power to act savagely and viciously, revealing his true nature! Ning wouldn’t show mercy to this sort of person
“Ning, son, what should we do?” The Whitewater Hound looked towards Ning “Master?” Qingqing looked towards Ning as well
Ning frowned “Let’s keep the liquefied elemental essence We’ll put all the other treasures into the storage treasure, and then…Qingqing, use your Void Blink to go extrenetic core”
“The deepnodded “Understood”
They kept only the thousand kilograms of liquefied ele even the jade bottle which held the essence! The liquefied elemental essence was incomparably pure and untraceable, so they could keep it, but everything else had the potential to prove problematic
“I’ now” The little azure snake winked out of existence, passing through the void and disappearing Deep underground, there was a ht that one could see with the visible eye Qingqing carefully threw the storage-type ht
