Chapter 2752 Not a single living person can be seen
Ling Jinbao paused for a moment: "Drag it out until we contact the Emperor and see what he instructs."
It wasn't that he was being self-deprecating, but the major problem that had befallen the Earth Mother Plain was something that a few immortals like them simply couldn't solve on their own. They had to rely on Cang Yan and the Nine Nether Emperor.
“That’s what I was thinking too.” Immortal Mingke received another urgent message, and after reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Excellent! Commander Yang and the Crown Prince of Shen have returned to Kunlong Valley. Not only have our nine hundred men returned, but they have also brought back more than two thousand soldiers from Shen.”
The Earth Mother has extended her control over the entire Dragon-Trapping Ridge, just as the roots of a great tree firmly grip every patch of soil beneath the earth. The Dragon-Trapping Ridge is essentially an extension of the Earth Mother's Plains; as soon as the Black Armor Army sets foot on the land of the Dragon-Trapping Ridge, they will be teleported back to the plains.
Once back on the plains, the Black Armor Army receives numerous bonuses.
"I'll be there soon!" Ling Jinbao was seriously injured and even flying on his sword was a little out of breath. "Hey, the Emperor's Dew is here!"
It was already dark when rain suddenly began to fall.
For Ling Jinbao's injuries, the Emperor's Dew was a timely help.
Meanwhile, on the Earth Mother Plain, the refreshing fragrance of the spiritual elixir permeated the air. Twenty years ago, Immortal Mingke would have been willing to risk everything to collect this rootless water, but now he only felt that the rain had come at the worst possible time.
Oh right, how could he forget? There's going to be a massive eruption of imperial fluids tonight.
It only took a dozen breaths for the drizzle to turn into a downpour. The concentration of spiritual energy in the air increased dramatically to a level that Immortal Mingke could perceive.
If the usual concentration of spiritual energy made him feel like a fish in water, then after a quarter of an hour, it must have felt like a whale entering the deep sea or a dragon soaring through the sky, an abundance beyond compare.
This feeling will subside within a few hours after the Emperor's Dew ends, but judging from the current rain, it won't stop anytime soon.
So, was this massive outbreak of imperial fluid also part of the enemy's plan?
The Heavenly Demons could basically calculate the time when the Emperor's Dew would descend, so they chose to lure He Yue into pursuing Zhao Shuo in the next two days, while they attacked the Earth Mother.
This was a series of insidious schemes, each one targeting the weaknesses of the Earth Mother and the Cangyan garrison.
The current eruption of the Emperor's Dew is even more terrifying for Immortal Mingke.
The usual concentration of spiritual energy is sufficient for immortals to move about. Why would the Heavenly Demon deliberately choose a day when the Emperor's Dew erupts?
The reason is obvious.
Therefore, the great calamity of the Earth Mother Plains and the Panlong Secret Realm is only just beginning.
Will the Earth Mother Plain survive this ordeal? Will he survive it?
Also, will the Nine Nether Emperor be able to survive this ordeal safely?
……
At this time, the demons who invaded the Earth Mother Plain also encountered a small problem.
The bird demon that was possessed by the God of Juli and successfully passed through the Earth Mother's barrier circled half a circle above the Earth Mother before landing. The bird demon leader then discovered that it was seriously injured and called it down to the ground.
Therefore, it did not have time to discover the location of the Panlong Ruins.
At that time, Ju Li Shen had to strictly adhere to Duanmu Heng's schedule, giving the Heavenly Demon detachment that ambushed He Yue enough time to exert their strength outside the Kunlong Cave, and could not immediately clash with the garrison of the Earth Mother Plain. Therefore, he could only control the bird demon to land reluctantly.
As the Heavenly Demons brazenly emerged from their hidden world to search for the Panlong Ruins, the opposing defenses remained on high alert, employing various deceptive tactics. It must be said that the Cangyan people held a significant home-field advantage here; communication between the Heavenly Demons and the outside world was disrupted, preventing them from coordinating with Duanmu Heng over long distances.
No matter, they had a plan. After the demons entered, they split into seven teams and searched for targets everywhere.
Although the magical artifacts left behind by Miaozhantian solved the problem of confusion, the next trouble surfaced:
After the demons invaded the Earth Mother Plain, they have been unable to find their target.
The towns, streets, and secret realms they passed through were all eerily quiet, without a single soul in sight. Only stone figures emerged from every corner, sometimes even from dead-end alleys, to cause them trouble.
In fact, some urban areas and towns were inhabited, but before the demons arrived, they had already fled.
Geng Yue asked the people around her, "Heavenly Venerable, the immortals and the army on this plain have all hidden themselves and have not been seen. So far, the ones fighting us are all stone men and stone beasts sent by the Earth Mother. There are as many of these as you want, and they are endless."
This celestial being is now a middle-aged man with a cold and indifferent face. His features are unremarkable and he would be easily lost in a crowd. However, the Moon Goddess treats him with exceptional respect.
Ju Lishen said, "Cunning and cowardly, the local garrison might be thinking of avoiding battle. Hmph, naive."
The Earth Mother Plains are vast, and the Heavenly Demons, affected by the anti-flying barrier, can only walk and cannot fly, thus limiting their range and speed of movement. Furthermore, the seemingly endless number of stone golems indeed hinders their progress.
The "Celestial Venerable" shook his head: "They're not stupid. They just don't want to come up here to die, and they certainly don't want to give us a confession. So they're waiting for us to make a move while trying to stall for time."
In fact, the Heavenly Demons had carefully discussed the matter with Duanmu Heng before invading the Earth Mother Plain. The latter believed that before the Nine Nether Emperor returned to the Earth Mother Plain, the Heavenly Demons should take advantage of the time difference to eliminate his subordinates and remove his allies. This would make it much easier to deal with him when he was alone.
The Nine Nether Emperor was already difficult to deal with, and once he had helpers, the difficulty of defeating him increased exponentially.
The Heavenly Demon also hoped to capture one or two locals to find out the location of the Panlong Ruins.
Now, it's really bad; we can't see a single living person.
"So, what do we do now?"
“Continue searching for the Panlong Secret Realm. The Earth Mother Plain is only so big; we'll find it eventually,” the Celestial Venerable said coldly. “If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. Since they're avoiding us, we'll go to a place they have no choice but to defend.”
Everyone knows that the Heavenly Demons are after the Panlong Secret Realm. Once they find it, the Cangyan people will have to fight to the death.
The current problem is that the Earth Mother Plain is not only extremely large, but also has a very three-dimensional terrain. Although it is called a "plain," it actually contains all kinds of landforms. There is a lack of connection between the various landforms and buildings, and the styles often change very abruptly.
This place is like a large maze, with several vertical levels, and even caves and underground wonders.
Searching takes time; not searching risks missing something.
Moreover, this is the result of the Earth Mother's own simplification, which has greatly reduced the difficulty; if it were the Jade Capital City during Shangguan Biao's time, which is the place where He Lingchuan and Immortal Ming Ke infiltrated back then, the complexity of the terrain would be at least three times that of now.
In this godforsaken place, it won't be easy for a newcomer like the Heavenly Demon to find the Panlong Ruins.
