Chapter 1906: Chapter 1898: Activating the 1000 Ginseng Mountains Prohibition
Watching Huo Liucheng be killed by a single strike from Huang Xiaolong just like that, everyone was stunned.
Some even couldn’t believe what they were seeing. They rubbed their eyes—Huo Liucheng, that Eldest Prince of the Fire Thunder Purple Python Empire, was really dead?! Dead in the Thousand Ginseng Mountain? Dead right in front of them? Dead at the hands of a young man at Heavenly Monarch Tenth Stage Early Stage Peak?
Everyone fell completely silent.
Zhao Rou and all the experts of the Double-headed Demon Dragon Empire also remained wordless.
Looking at Huo Liucheng’s dissipating corpse, Zhao Rou’s heart was complicated. She was shocked by Huang Xiaolong’s strength, yet also angered that this nameless young man had actually dared to ignore her and kill Huo Liucheng.
At this time, Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing walked back to the open ground where they had originally been standing.
The crowd all around hurriedly backed far away.
The experts of the Double-headed Demon Dragon Empire scrambled in a fluster and helped Chen Qin break the Ice Crystal on his hands and feet.
After helping Chen Qin break the Ice Crystal, the experts of the Double-headed Demon Dragon Empire finally realized how terrifying the Ice Crystal was. No matter who touched it, the Ice Crystal would cling to the other party like maggots gnawing on bones, impossible to shake off or dispel.
"Right Minister Chen Qin, are you alright?" Zhao Rou asked Chen Qin, concern written all over her face.
Chen Qin shook his head. "Princess, I’m fine."
He looked at the Emperor Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak Ice Chi Dragon beside Huang Xiaolong, still filled with lingering fear.
If they had truly fought to the death just now, whether he could still be speaking now was an unknown number.
The terror of an Emperor Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak Ice Chi Dragon was beyond his imagination.
Just then, a massive ancient bell was struck, its toll echoing throughout the Thousand Ginseng Mountain.
It was the bell signaling the opening of the main gate of the Thousand Ginseng Mountain.
Hearing the bell, all the Family Disciples who had signed up immediately charged madly toward the Heavenly Bridge.
"Let’s go." Huang Xiaolong said to Lu Xiaoqing.
"Yes, my lord."
The two of them also flew toward the Heavenly Bridge.
The Three-Headed Ice Chi Dragon suddenly turned into three clusters of Ice and Snow and concealed itself, vanishing between heaven and earth.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong fly toward the Heavenly Bridge, the Family Disciples who had originally rushed in a frenzy to the head of the Heavenly Bridge and were about to step onto it were so frightened that they stopped and backed off in panic.
Arriving at the head of the Heavenly Bridge, Huang Xiaolong’s expression was calm as he led Lu Xiaoqing onto the Heavenly Bridge.
Only after quite a while, when Huang Xiaolong had already gone far along the Heavenly Bridge, did the other Family Disciples scramble to rush onto the Heavenly Bridge.
The people of the Double-headed Demon Dragon Empire then escorted Zhao Rou into the Heavenly Bridge as well.
Although the Heavenly Bridge had Gravity and Space Prohibition, making it impossible to fly or Instant Teleport, so that one could only move forward on foot, Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing’s speed was still extremely fast.
For the ten-thousand-li Heavenly Bridge, they reached the end in less than a minute.
At the end stood a huge gate, a Space Gate—it was precisely the main gate leading into the Thousand Ginseng Mountain.
Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing did not hesitate and stepped inside.
As soon as they entered, streams of Spiritual Medicine power surged over with the wind, refreshing to the heart and mind.
This Spiritual Medicine power was somewhat different from that of other Spiritual Medicine, carrying an extremely strong Life Energy and Earth Essence Qi. It was precisely what was unique to Spirit Ginseng.
Huang Xiaolong looked around. Before his eyes were mountain peaks stretching to an endless horizon.
On the peaks, the trees were a lush, oily green, a testament to their exuberant life force.
Besides the trees, there were field upon field of Spirit Ginseng.
However, the Spirit Ginseng on the outskirts of the Thousand Ginseng Mountain could only be considered ordinary Spirit Ginseng. They were plentiful on the outside markets and were of virtually no use to Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing. The two of them flew straight toward the deeper regions of the Thousand Ginseng Mountain.
Although the Heavenly Bridge restricted flying, the Thousand Ginseng Mountain itself had no Gravity and Space Prohibition.
If the Thousand Ginseng Mountain also had Gravity and Space Prohibition, making it impossible to fly, probably no one would sign up.
Because entering would be pointless.
Some Spirit Ginseng that had gained Spirit Communication had extremely profound Earth Escape Technique, and their concealment techniques were even harder to detect. If one couldn’t fly, it would be simply impossible to capture these Spirit Ginseng.
Since the Thousand Ginseng Mountain only opened for ten days, and while ten days might not sound short, the Thousand Ginseng Mountain was incomparably vast. Even with Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing flying at full speed, it would still take them two days to reach the depths, so the two did not stop along the way or waste even the slightest bit of time, heading directly for the deep regions of the Thousand Ginseng Mountain.
Given Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing’s speed, it still took two days to reach the depths of the Thousand Ginseng Mountain; as for some ordinary Heavenly Monarch Tenth Rank and High-level Heavenly Monarch Disciples, there was no need to even mention them.
Often, before they could reach the deep regions of the Thousand Ginseng Mountain, the ten days were already over.
This was also why, over tens of millions of years, only two people had ever managed to find Spirit Ginseng like the Green Blood Heavenly Ginseng and Dragon King Ginseng.
While Huang Xiaolong and Lu Xiaoqing were rushing toward the depths of the Thousand Ginseng Mountain, news that the Purple Python Empire’s Eldest Prince Huo Liucheng and fifteen Purple Python Empire Ancestors of the Great Emperor Realm had been killed spread out, shaking the entire Magical Beast World.
When the Purple Python Emperor Huo Ye heard this news, he was completely dumbfounded.
Two years ago, Huo Liuyun had been severely wounded and captured, and over a dozen Great Emperor Realm Purple Python Empire Ancestors were killed. For the past two years, he had been in constant heartache, almost every day thinking of tearing Huang Xiaolong to pieces. But only two years had passed, and today, another fifteen Great Emperor Realm Purple Python Empire Ancestors had been killed!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, the Purple Python Emperor Huo Xuan roared in madness and fury.
Just what kind of cursed misfortune had his Purple Python Empire run into, to have nearly thirty Great Emperor Ancestors fall within two years?!
Over these two years, although conflicts and slaughter had been unending in the Magical Beast World due to the influx of experts from the Demon Realm Thirty-Six Domains, almost none of the other Demon Beast Empires had Great Emperor Realm Ancestors fall. Why was it that only his Purple Python Empire had so many Great Emperor Ancestors die one after another!
The Purple Python Emperor Huo Xuan roared again and again, venting the raging killing intent in his heart.
In the Great Hall, all the Purple Python Empire Ancestors lowered their heads and remained silent.
"That brat has entered the Thousand Ginseng Mountain now?" Suddenly, Huo Xuan, who had been roaring, stopped and asked the people below the hall.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Purple Python Empire Ancestor Huo Xianghui hurriedly replied.
"Summon all the Ancestors. In a while, we set off for the Thousand Ginseng Mountain!" Huo Xuan’s eyes were icy and deep.
"But, Your Majesty, I’m afraid that by the time we reach the Thousand Ginseng Mountain, that brat will have already fled." Ancestor Huo Xianghui said.
Huo Xuan’s face twisted ferociously. "Then contact the Swallowing Sky Emperor and have him give the order to activate the Thousand Ginseng Mountain Great Array Restriction and temporarily imprison that brat. Tell him I’ll owe him a favor."
He knew that there was a Great Array Restriction in the Thousand Ginseng Mountain, personally arranged by the Swallowing Sky Emperor. Once activated, even a Great Emperor Tenth Rank Late Stage Peak expert would be trapped within it.
Letting him owe a favor—he believed the Swallowing Sky Emperor would be more than happy to do this.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ancestor Huo Xianghui answered respectfully.
Very soon, the Swallowing Sky Emperor received the Purple Python Empire’s request.
"Activate the Thousand Ginseng Mountain Great Array Restriction." The Swallowing Sky Emperor frowned slightly, his eyes flickering.
"Your Majesty, what is it?" the Swallowing Sky Empire Ancestor Jiang Chuchen couldn’t help asking.
Jiang Chuchen was his trusted confidant.
The Swallowing Sky Emperor tossed the Token over.
After reading it, Jiang Chuchen hesitated and asked, "Then what is Your Majesty’s intention?"
