Chapter 813: Border of the Continen (2/2)
“How did you learn to use poison?”
“I ate that fruit last time, I knew how to use poison after waking up.”
The little girl’s reply made Qianye speechless. Her talents were simply too enviable. Which human didn’t have to painstakingly cultivate their combat arts? Some powerful secret arts even put one’s life at risk. For instance, the Profound Combatant Formula afforded its user shocking cultivation speeds and its accompanying Oceanic Vortex was peerlessly powerful. However, Qianye would’ve broken down instead if his body were just a bit weaker.
Zhuji’s green gas was so powerful, and yet all she needed was a nap to comprehend it. This was an inherent power hidden deep within her bloodline.
Little Zhuji’s bloodline originated from Count Stuka, but Qianye felt that the arachne’s poison wasn’t this powerful when he and Zhao Yuying had fought him back then. The talent skill had grown stronger by over ten times in Little Zhuji’s hands.
Qianye could only sigh in admiration when comparing the two.
Moments later, Qianye exited the Black Grove with little Zhuji in tow and arrived in front of the mercenary camp. At this moment, the camp was in utter chaos with people running in from everywhere to report the matter. Some began organizing their luggage in a fluster, while some fierce characters waved their weapons around, shouting about how they would deal with Qianye.
No small number of Stormwind Fury soldiers had escaped back to base, but Qianye’s arrival was also quite fast. They had only managed to convey news of their utter defeat to those at the base when Qianye arrived, not even giving them enough time to pack up.
Qianye simply walked in, too lazy to pay attention to the nonsense those mercenary coyotes were spouting.
Moments later, three camps, along with the logging grounds, broke out in fierce flames. The fire stretched dozens of meters tall and almost illuminated the entire sky. As Qianye slowly walked out of the raging flames, there was no longer a living shadow in the blaze behind him.
“Where do we go now?”
“Home.”
“Let me sleep a while then. I’m so sleepy.” Little Zhuji yawned loudly.
Qianye got onto his motorbike, started the engine, and sped off into the boundless wasteland, leaving a cloud of dust behind him.
Finally, news of utter defeat on the front lines reached Southern Blue. The city lord sat quietly, completely unmoved even as the frontline commander of Stormwind Fury completed his report.
The entire meeting chamber fell into a deathly silence as the report was completed. Everyone knew that Qianye’s death threat toward Stormwind Fury wasn’t just for fun. The issue was how likely it was that he would be able to follow up on his words.
The Southern Blue city lord spoke only after a long while, “He calls himself Qianye?”
“Yes.”
A long lapse of silence passed again before the city lord said, “Report this matter to the Spider Emperor. Okay, dismissed!”
Only when the room was empty did the Southern Blue city lord heave a long sigh. “Qianye, Qianye…”
At this moment, Qianye had already traversed the vast distance to reach the continent’s edge. The geography in the area was no longer even, and was already beginning to rise and fall. Glancing into the distance, one could see a long mountain range and its tall peaks piercing into the clouds. There were streaks of lightning flickering along the peaks, accompanied by the occasional thunder. It could be considered extremely dangerous.
That was the continent’s border, where the natural barrier of the continent met the void. Even space here was unstable, and void storms were a common occurrence. Throughout the long years, the mountain range had been cut, torn, and crushed by the void storms, eventually turning into this kind of landscape where even birds couldn’t fly easily. Some of the tallest peaks were thousands of meters in height.
Beyond these tall peaks was the true border of the continent. There were storms wreaking havoc here at all times. Those unfortunate enough to be swept into them would be flung out into the bottomless void.
The Eastern Sea Continent, along with many other landmasses in the neutral lands, originated from the Void Valley Star. It hadn’t been very long since they were formed. The twenty-seven main continents were much more stable—their barriers were stronger, and their borders were relatively peaceful.
Qianye’s expression became serious as he gazed at the tall peaks around the border region. The environment here was too adverse and dangerous even for him. Caution was necessary.
The reason he had come here was because of the third piece of news he had gotten from the captain. Reportedly, a vampire warship had crashed here. Qianye wanted to know why the Evernight vampire race had come here with a giant warship.
It was said that one of the masters of the neutral lands—the person on the Throne of Blood—had a deep enmity against the twelve ancient clans and would kill their members on sight. That Shattered Time in his hands could instantly kill anyone below the duke rank and even defeat a prince. That was why Evernight vampires were rarely seen in the neutral lands.
Qianye had no idea what the vampires were scheming, but it was too much of a coincidence that they would be here at this time.
