Chapter 213 - The Rotating Clock
Chapter 213: Chapter 213: The Rotating Clock
Looking at the mage who was coming towards him, Ren Qi walked over.
“Dear Lord Ren Qi, how are you?” The cloaked mage came in front of Ren Qi and said respectfully.
“Tian Jizi asked you to come? What’s the matter?” Ren Qi looked at the mage in front of him and asked.
The mage looked at Ren Qi and said, “Master asked me to help you hide so that others can’t find you.”
Ren Qi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the mage’s words.
!!Hide? It sounded like this mage’s ability was quite special.
Ren Qi nodded at the mage and said, “Do you need us to cooperate with you?”
The mage shook his head and said, “No need!”
After that, he slowly raised his hands. A faint ripple slowly appeared in front of his hands, causing the space in front of him to ripple.
This ripple quickly spread. It directly arrived in front of Ren Qi and the others. It covered the area above their bodies, instantly enveloping all of them.
Ren Qi instantly felt a force sweep up his body. A strange feeling flashed across his heart.
Then…
There was no ‘then’.
Ren Qi looked at the mage and asked, “Is that all?”
The mage smiled and nodded. “That’s right. It’s done. I have already hidden your traces. Lord Ren Qi, you can continue moving forward now. No one will discover your traces.”
At this moment, the Dark Elf Queen beside Ren Qi said softly to him, “This guy has Tier-9 power. The power just now was very strange.”
Ren Qi’s eyes flickered when he heard this.
Tier-9 power. No wonder it could completely erase their tracks.
However, Ren Qi remembered that Tian Jizi didn’t get the Holy Stone back then. Now, he had a Tier-9 soldier.
It seemed that he had gained quite a lot during this period of time.
However, it made sense. With Zhao Yuheng helping him, it was likely that he had attacked quite a number of demonic forces in the past few days. Perhaps he had obtained the holy stone and increased the rank of his army!
Under such circumstances, it could be said that it was expected for a mage to have such powerful abilities.
In the sky, Han Muyu, who had heard the news, had just pointed the camera of his communication device at the large group of people below. He wanted to have another exclusive report of his own.
However, just as everything was done, Han Muyu was about to take a few photos when he was stunned.
He saw that there was no trace of Ren Qi and the others below. It was as if they had disappeared.
Han Muyu rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
What was going on?
He had clearly seen Ren Qi’s large group below?
Then, Han Muyu let the three-headed lion heron feel the aura below.
Soon, Han Muyu received the feedback from the three-headed lion heron. There was no aura below, as if nothing had existed.
What the hell!
Han Muyu rode the three-headed lion heron and circled in the sky for a long time. In the end, he could only helplessly leave.
At this moment, Ren Qi and the others were moving forward quickly.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived in front of Xuan Ming’s territory.
Xuan Ming’s territory was still filled with a metallic texture. Its territory was a little larger than before.
Compared to other new lords, the Lords of the mechanical army had a great advantage in expanding their territory.
Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress was parked right in front of Xuan Ming. It was obvious that they had arrived a long time ago.
Xuan Ming, Zhao Yuheng, and Tian Jizi quickly walked out of Xuan Ming’s territory and arrived in front of Ren Qi and the others to welcome them.
The mage also quickly returned to Tian Jizi’s group.
Zhao Yuheng looked at Ren Qi and the others’ large group and revealed a joyful expression.
The increase in the strength of Ren Qi and the others’troops was somewhat beyond Zhao Yuheng’s expectations.
Such a powerful force was naturally something worth being happy about for Zhao Yuheng.
“You’re here.”
Zhao Yuheng looked at Ren Qi and chuckled.
Ren Qi nodded and pointed at the Dark Elf Queen beside him. “This is the Dark Elf Queen from the Dark Elf tribe in the black fog forest in front of my territory. She’s my ally. She’ll be joining us this time.”
Zhao Yuheng and the others already knew each other. All they needed to do was introduce the Dark Elf Queen.
Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi were stunned when they heard Ren Qi’s words. Then, their gazes landed on the Dark Elf Queen beside Ren Qi.
Dark Elf Queen?
A monster faction in the black fog forest?
Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi’s bodies involuntarily tensed up. After all, they were naturally hostile toward the monster faction.
Zhao Yuheng’s gaze landed on the Dark Elf Queen, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
“We welcome the Dark Elf Queen to join our operation this time.”
Zhao Yuheng looked at the Dark Elf Queen, and the smile on her face was very sincere.
Ren Qi could not help but curl his lips when he saw Zhao Yuheng’s expression.
This was because she had discovered the Dark Elf Queen’s half-step Saint-tier strength. The smile she gave her was even more sincere than the smile she gave him.
The Dark Elf Queen gently nodded and said, “I came here because I was invited by Lord Ren Qi to help him.”
Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi glanced at Ren Qi. The Dark Elf Queen’s intentions were very clear.
I’m not going to get involved in your matters. I’m only here to help Ren Qi.
This guy had succubus soldiers, and all of them were great beauties. Every time they met, they had to avoid eye contact to avoid bulging.
He did not expect that there would be a Dark Elf Queen helping him this time.
Succubus and elf!
It was really…
It was really enviable!
“Since you’re here, let’s go in first. Let’s discuss about this operation.”
Zhao Yuheng looked at Ren Qi and the others in front of her and said slowly.
Ren Qi nodded. Then, he, Li Tianlan, and the others brought their own troops into Xuan Ming’s territory.
Xuan Ming’s territory had expanded quite a bit. It was completely enough to accommodate Ren Qi and the others’troops.
Meanwhile, bei Hermione had arrived here earlier than Ren Qi and the others. When Ren Qi and the others entered, she had just settled down her silver dragon troops when she happened to bump into Ren Qi and the others.
Soon, Ren Qi and the others followed Zhao Yuheng and the others into the meeting hall.
Everyone took their seats, and their gazes fell on Zhao Yuheng.
After all, she was the one who had gathered everyone here.
Zhao Yuheng looked around, then looked at the few of them and said, “This time, I’ve invited everyone here to talk about the secret treasure.”
“Secret Treasure?” Ren Qi and the others frowned slightly.
Then, Li Tianlan opened her mouth and said, “Is it the demon cave secret treasure trove that the aristocratic families had jointly found previously?”
Zhao Yuheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Tianlan, “Are you also a member of the aristocratic families?”
Li Tianlan opened her mouth and said, “I am a member of the Li family in the Jiang Bei region. However, I do not have much relationship with the Li family now.”
Zhao Yuheng nodded when she heard this. After which, she said, “That’s right. It is the secret treasure of the demon cave.”
“Everyone should know about the matter of the demon cave. There is a secret treasure trove in the depths of many demon caves.”
“However, the entrance to the secret treasure is not in the demon caves, but in the black fog!”
“The aristocratic families have researched a lot about the black fog. One of the most important results is related to the secret treasure.”
“We don’t know what is hidden in the secret treasure trove, but there are definitely many precious items. There might be Holy Stones, and the number might not be low.”
“Through our research on the black fog, the aristocratic families have learned the corresponding coordinates of the secret treasure trove hidden in the black fog.”
“Now that the black fog has descended, we should explore the secret treasure as soon as we have enough strength so that we can quickly increase our strength.”
Hearing Zhao Yuheng’s words, Ren Qi and the others had different expressions as they digested the information about the secret treasure.
Ren Qi opened his mouth and asked, “In other words, other than you, there are other new lords who know the location of the secret treasure?”
It was understandable that Zhao Yuheng and the others had not mentioned the secret treasure before. However, now that they knew about the existence of the secret treasure, Ren Qi was already thinking of fighting over it.
If there were many other new lords who knew about it, they would have to speed up.
Zhao Yuheng nodded, “That’s right. Other than us, there are other new lords who know about this. I think they are also investigating the other hidden treasures.”
“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you guys something. Because of the aristocratic family’s inheritance, there might be some new lords who did not participate in the Kill Leaderboard ranking.”
“In other words, there might be extremely powerful existences among the hidden new lords. There might be quite a number of Tier-9 new lords.”
Hearing Zhao Yuheng’s words, Ren Qi raised his brows slightly.
If he remembered correctly, Zhao Yuheng seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Previously, Ren Qi was a little curious. There was actually no sign of a Tier-9 new lord on the Kill Leaderboard.
Now, it seemed like they weren’t able to participate for some reason.
At this moment, Li Tianlan asked, “Since you know the location of the hidden treasure trove, why did you call us here? I’m afraid that there is some danger around the hidden treasure, right?”
Zhao Yuheng glanced at Li Tianlan, then nodded and said, “That’s right. There is indeed danger around the hidden treasure, so I hope I can get your help.”
Following which, Zhao Yuheng told Ren Qi and the rest about the monsters that he had encountered in the Secret Treasure Trove.
“A monster with a completely black body? There is a strange membrane on its arm. It is very fast and can fly?”
“Its body can block most of the magic damage?”
“Moreover, its attack power is also very strong? Its fighting strength is even stronger in that black fog environment?”
Ren Qi and the rest frowned slightly when they heard Zhao Yuheng’s description.
Based on Zhao Yuheng’s description, they could imagine just how difficult it was to deal with these monsters.
Zhao Yuheng looked at the few of them and said, “Fortunately, most of them are at the Tier 9 realm. Moreover, we already have a few half-step Saint-tier allies. With the combined strength of the few of us, we should be able to easily take them down.”
Ren Qi and the rest looked at each other and nodded.
“If that’s the case, when should we set off?” Ren Qi looked at Zhao Yuheng and asked.
Zhao Yuheng looked at the few of them and said, “It will take some time to reach the location of the secret treasure. Although the secret treasure is in the Black Fog, I still think that it is better to go during the day.”
Ren Qi and the others nodded in agreement.
After that, everyone dispersed and prepared to take a good rest. Then, they would set off to the location of the secret stash the next day.
Ren Qi returned to his resting place. After receiving Tina’s feedback, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, everyone organized their teams and gathered together. Under Zhao Yuheng’s lead, they began to rush towards the location of the secret stash.
Just like before, all the troops arrived at Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress. Zhao Yuheng controlled the sky fortress and quickly headed towards the location of the secret hideout.
Fortunately, Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress was relatively large. With so many troops on board, it did not feel crowded at all.
After a few hours, Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress arrived above the dense black fog once again.
Ren Qi and the others’ eyes flickered slightly as they looked at the dense black fog below.
The lords’ territories had materialized within the black fog. Almost all of the new lords had an inexplicable strange feeling toward the black fog.
This feeling caused many of the new lords to not dare to easily approach the area covered by the black fog.
Ren Qi had a very deep feeling toward this as well.
After all, the back of his territory had a mountain covered in black fog. There were many secrets hidden within that mountain.
This area covered by the black fog was clearly not that simple.
“This is the location of the secret trove. The coordinates of the secret trove are here. There is a church-like building at the bottom of the black fog. I suspect that the secret trove is at the facade of that church building.”
Zhao Yuheng looked at the black fog below and spoke to the few people around her with a grave expression.
Xuan Ming also opened his mouth and said, “That kind of strange monster is within the black fog. It is around the church building. You must be extremely careful when you descend.”
Ren Qi and the others nodded. Tian Jizi smiled and said, “This time is different from the last time. Our strength is so strong. It will definitely not be the same as the last time.”
“This time around, we must let these fellows experience our strength.”
Zhao Yuheng glanced at the few people around her. After which, she said in a deep voice, “Alright! In that case, let’s set off!”
Following Zhao Yuheng’s words, the entire sky fortress slowly sank downwards.
When they arrived above the black fog, everyone’s bodies suddenly tensed up.
Soon after, Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress slowly sank into the black fog.
Ren Qi and the others felt a sense of oppression the moment they entered.
It was as though they had entered a deep water region.
The lighting in the black fog was also very dim. Everything around them was in a haze, causing them to feel a sense of oppression.
One after another, the undying blood phoenixes began to dance. Led by two half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenixes, they began to fly around the sky fortress in the sky.
The flames on their bodies also illuminated their surroundings to prevent the monsters that had appeared earlier from ambushing them.
At this moment, Xuan Ming also began to open the mechanical soldiers one by one.
“Hmph! This daddy specially created a searchlight for you this time around. Let’s see how long you can remain hidden.”
As he spoke, rays of light shot out from above these mechanical soldiers, instantly lighting up the surroundings.
The surrounding black fog was very dense. When the light shone on it, one could see the dust-like black fog and dust continuously rising and falling within it.
As Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress descended, the surrounding black fog and dust seemed to have been squeezed and rose, slowly floating up along both sides.
The surroundings were completely silent, as if the monster from last time had already disappeared.
At this moment, Xuan Ming shone his searchlight downwards.
Xuan Ming wanted to see what the church-like building looked like first.
However, he did not know if the black fog around him was too dense, or if there was something suppressing the light. When the light fell below, it could not shine too far and stopped.
An obvious light pillar appeared. It stretched about twenty meters in the distance.
After twenty meters, the light seemed to have been swallowed by the black fog in front of it and completely disappeared.
Xuan Ming’s brows were tightly knit together. However, this distance was already sufficient.
Currently, the sky fortress in the sky had yet to descend to a sufficient height.
As long as it descended to a certain height, this twenty-meter-long light pillar would be sufficient to shine on the church-like building.
At that time, they would be able to clearly see the appearance of the building.
However, what caused Xuan Ming, Tian Jizi and Zhao Yuheng to feel a little strange was that those strange monsters seemed to have disappeared. There was no trace of them at all.
Ren Qi and the others were also looking at the black fog around them and carefully observing the situation around them.
Following the descent of Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress, the intense pressure became increasingly intense.
Everyone’s hearts felt as if they were covered in a layer of black fog, and they felt extremely depressed.
After all, they had already heard of that strange monster. If the monster had appeared directly, they would feel slightly better.
However, that monster had yet to appear, causing Ren Qi and the others to feel even more depressed.
The unknown was even more terrifying!
Soon, the sky fortress controlled by Zhao Yuheng had arrived below the black fog.
The searchlight pillar of the Xuanming extended out and landed on the church-like building in front of them.
Ren Qi and the others’ gazes were attracted over. The first thing they saw was a pointy head.
It was different from an ordinary church. This church-like building seemed to have a pointy top that extended downwards.
Following that, the searchlight pillar landed on the huge clock on top of the church.
The hands on the clock were still slowly rotating. The moment the light fell on it, the hands on the clock fell to zero!
“Boom!”
A stream of air flashed and disappeared in the pillar of light. Following that, several auras rapidly flew towards the sky fortress in the sky!
