Chapter 938: Chapter 349: Celestial Master Lei Vanquishes Demons (Thirteen Thousand-Word Mega Chapter, Triple-Length Special)
Under normal circumstances, when choosing a lot, Lei Jun would select the best lot.
But this time in the Northern Desert, their primary goal was to seal the Void Gateway to prevent further invasions from the Solitary Eagle Khanate.
Is it the Guyun Plains or the upper reaches of the Qingwo River?
Lei Jun carefully read the specific wording in the descriptions of the two options.
The description of the upper reaches of the Qingwo River was relatively more peaceful than that of the Guyun Plains.
The former was deemed a perfectly neutral lot, likely because the opportunity rank was relatively lower, insufficient to outweigh the potential hidden dangers, so it received a perfectly neutral lot.
As for the Guyun Plains, the wording mentioned the possibility of minor disturbances, making it more intriguing.
Combining the current timing of this fortune-telling with Lei Jun’s guess, it seemed the destination of this trip was the Guyun Plains.
Going there would not only allow him to find the Void Gateway leading from the Solitary Eagle Khanate to the Great Tang Realm but might also yield an unknown third-rank opportunity.
With these considerations, Lei Jun gradually formed a plan in his mind.
He did not act unilaterally without explanation but called upon Yue Xiling, Fang Zhu, and other top cultivators from the Great Tang, then calmly pointed on the map:
"When previously contacting our sect’s Tang, she mentioned that near the Guyun Plains, the global spiritual energy veins seemed to have undergone significant changes. However, she was busy chasing the Long Sky Gray Wolf at the time, so she didn’t investigate personally.
Now that we look at the locations we have, in comparison, the Guyun Plains might be the place we’re looking for. Since we have no other leads right now, we should head to the Guyun Plains first."
When conferring with Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun’s source would naturally turn into the Universe Seven Luminaries of Celestial Book, to keep Lei’s information channel confidential, he reluctantly had Tang take responsibility for the news source.
"Master Tang has exceptional cultivation. Her perception of anomalies indicates their significance."
Yue Xiling, Fang Zhu, and other cultivators from the Pure Yang Palace and Jingxiang Fang Clan who accompanied them did not object: "We will fully comply with the Celestial Master’s wishes."
The group immediately set off into the wastelands of the Northern Desert.
High above, Lei Jun’s Great Celestial Mirror moved towards the north.
As time passed and the distance shortened, Lei Jun could see through the Great Celestial Mirror’s vision that unusual scenes began to appear on the distant grasslands.
A vast blurry area of about ten zhang across stood like a giant gate on the grassland.
It resembled the scenery of a void world, twisted and fuzzy by some invisible immense force.
Beyond the portal, it seemed like another realm altogether.
Indeed, there was a Void Gateway here at the Guyun Plains, and it was a massive gateway.
Around the Void Gateway, countless people gathered into a human sea.
The crowd was eerily silent, with most people showing fear and unease.
Lei Jun took a quick look; the crowd was diverse.
It was evident that most of them were Han People.
But there was also a minority from foreign tribes.
The Great Tang Realm had not seen large threats from the Northern Aliens for years, with most threats along the Northern Border coming from Great Demons.
Foreign tribe populations were relatively sparse, scattered across the sparsely populated Northern Border.
The presence of such a large number gathered from different small tribes was unusual.
Compared to the Han People, they seemed slightly more settled, but equally afraid.
Adults silently held their children in their arms, covering their mouths to prevent any sound or movement.
Not far from the crowd, bodies were piled up, blood flowed, staining the nearby grasslands red.
Any resistance, even a slight sound or discussion, might lead to slaughter and deaths on the spot.
Around the crowd, a few people from foreign tribes were seen riding on exotic giant beasts.
These people, unlike the ordinary citizens and herdsmen, had cultivation and were all resilient.
They were from the Solitary Eagle Khanate.
Most were martial artists.
These martial artists of the Solitary Eagle Khanate had eyes like eagles, watching the large number of captives they had taken.
Any slight movement might lead to their killing spree.
However, there was an order above, these captives were to be taken out of this realm.
In front of the Void Gateway, a Great Banner was erected.
Under the banner, a formidable foreign expert sat on an exotic beast that was over four zhang long, resembling both a dragon and a horse.
The beast’s body was massive, its aura both spiritual and savage, covered in blue scales that shimmered darkly under the sunlight.
Its eyes opened and closed, occasionally showing a blood-red hue, appearing extremely fierce.
This beast lay quietly on the ground, while in the distance, similar ferocious beasts could be seen, though smaller and less intimidating than the leader beast.
These beasts, resembling both dragons and horses, exuded a formidable bloodthirsty and combative aura.
The leading beast held the foreign expert seated, expressionless as he wiped his blade.
Beside him, a Solitary Eagle Khanate martial artist was requesting instructions:
"Brother, everything is prepared, we can send them across the ’Portal’ on any command."
The foreign general sheathed his blade: "They’re all frail, bloodless people, we must handle them carefully, or they won’t make it through the ’Gate’, dying halfway is highly likely."
The martial artist from the Solitary Eagle Khanate responded: "Brother, rest assured, we’ve been preparing for a long time, though newcomers continuously arrive, there won’t be any issues."
