Chapter 132 - 132 Tying loose ends (1/2)

''Let's go to the palace in the central region!''

Little Black then soared in the sky, quickly leaving the forest of giants.

Shun Long observed the 20m tall trees below him, as they became smaller and smaller in his eyes.

Surprisingly, the region around the giant forest seemed to be just a plain desert.

Although the scorching sun in the 'Vermilion realm' could be avoided under the protection of the tall trees back in the forest, the temperature in the desert was suffocating even for earth grade cultivators.

However, Shun Long was barely affected by it on top of little Black's back, as they continued to fly towards the central region, following the half-fiend village chief's map.

2 days later, Shun Long and little Black seemed to have arrived at the end of the desert, when a huge purple fog appeared in front of them.

The thick fog seemed to shoot up in the sky, as it completely surrounded the central region.

According to the map in Shun Long's hands, the 'King's palace' was just behind this fog.

Little Black was stunned when he found out, that even his soul sense was unable to pierce through the fog.

Seeing that little Black's soul sense was actually obstructed, Shun Long thought for a bit before he said

''Return back to the 'Stone of Time' for now.''

Little Black looked at Shun Long worriedly who smiled as he explained

''Right now, we are too close to the central region. With the number of sects that have entered the 'Vermilion realm', it will be too dangerous if you are exposed.''

Little Black nodded his head and landed on the ground, before he returned back inside the 'Stone of Time'.

Although he knew that there were probably no dangers for Shun Long in the purple fog, he still couldn't help but be worried because of the obstruction that it posed to his soul sense.

Looking at the thick purple mist in front of him, Shun Long circulated his 'Monarch's Hourglass' as well as his golden eyes before he entered inside.

After stepping inside the fog, he noticed that aside from impeding his vision, the fog didn't seem to have any other effects.

Although Shun Long was confident that his 'Monarch's Eternal body' could protect him from many different kinds of poisons, as an alchemist, he could only count on himself if he somehow still got poisoned in the end.

Without little Black's soul sense and with his own vision obstructed, he could only walk straight ahead until he reached the other side of the fog.

2 days quickly passed since Shun Long had entered the purple fog, when he could finally hear faint voices ahead of him.

Speeding up his footsteps, he soon reached the end of the purple fog, where a vast plain field appeared in his eyes.
