After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 331: The Land of Gold
The seventh demon god——the terrifying cold Zesla.

It was the "ultimate move" that the "Ice-Cold Black Mist" had used before.

Ryan could sense that although the "Seventh Demon" had descended in his true form, his strength had been greatly reduced due to various restrictions.

If it were in its prime, the "Seventh Demon God" would be at least at the peak ninth level, or even stronger.

Of course, if it was just about strength, Ryan wouldn't care so much.

The spiritual river is boundless, and the life worlds it runs through are innumerable, including many peak ninth-order or even stronger beings.

The bigger reason why Ryan is concerned is because of the world where the "Seventh Demon" is located - the dark matter plane.

It is a world opposite to the positive material plane, and a world that cannot be touched by normal creatures.

"Cold Black Mist" is the first existence Ryan knows that can communicate with the dark matter world.

"The seventh demon god, Zesla, the terrifying cold, is the embodiment of deep cold. He is also the symbol of plague and death."

"Ice-cold Black Mist" smiled and said, "My power is somewhat special. By chance, I once had a connection with dark matter. It was also that connection that allowed me to sign a price summoning contract with the seventh demon god, the terrifying Youhan Zesla."

"this is for you."

A strange medal with a dark blue color close to black was thrown out by the "Cold Black Mist": "You cannot learn my power, but with this 'Black Mist Medal', you can contact the dark matter world three times. As for whether you can sign a contract with the Seventh Demon God again, it depends on you."

After giving out the "Black Mist Medal", the "Ice Cold Black Mist" lay on the ground with its breath rapidly weakening:

"Be careful of the ancient god in the heart of the earth..."

When the last word was uttered, the true spirit of the “Ice-Cold Black Mist” was completely annihilated.

Ryan stood with his sword in his hand and performed a knight's salute.

For the countless creatures in this world, the "Cold Black Mist" is undoubtedly a damnable invader.

But purely on a personal level, "Cold Black Mist" is a respectable opponent.

……

Beside the quietly flowing space channel, the Red Queen sat and waited.

She appeared calm on the surface, but was filled with anxiety on the inside.

After all, her opponent is even her brother, whose "Eternal Light and Fiery Sun" is faintly defeated by the slightly stronger "Cold Black Mist". In this case, it is still unknown whether Lady Zifeng can achieve the final victory.

If you win, it's fine, but if you lose...

Right now, the "Eternal Sun" has just recovered and is in a weak period. If the "Ice-Cold Black Mist" goes crazy, the Red Queen dare not imagine who can stop him.

As time passed, the Red Queen suddenly felt a little sleepy.

But she didn't care, just thinking that she was too tired.

Soon, there was movement coming from the space portal beside him.

Looking at Lord Zifeng who walked out calmly, a bright light appeared in the eyes of the Red Queen.

……

City of Refuge.

City Lord's Tower.

When a large amount of extremely pure black mist collected from the depths of the Cold Nest spread out, an extremely excited look appeared in Allura's eyes.

"This, this is?"

"The purest power of black fog. With this, can your research progress be faster?" Ryan asked without explaining.

"Of course." Alora answered without hesitation: "With the experimental materials you provided, the results will be much better than expected."

"Well, then try your best." After leaving these words, Ryan turned and walked out. After walking a few steps, he paused slightly and said without looking back:
"The human race will eventually have to rely on its own strength to rise. It is fate that we can meet in the long river of spirituality, but it is hard to say whether this fate will happen again."

"Even without the 'Scorching Sun' and the 'Ice-Cold Black Fog', the world is not safe. The real crisis is still lurking beneath the seemingly calm sea."

"I will follow your instructions." Allura bowed deeply.

It was not until the footsteps gradually faded away that she realized the value of what Lord Zifeng had just said.

Did he solve the "extremely scorching sun" and the "icy black fog"?
It's only been less than a day...

How, how did he do it?

And is Lord Zifeng about to set out now to resolve what he called the "crisis under the sea"?

The walls of the city of refuge.

Ryan sat here alone, quietly enjoying the evening breeze.

The city is quiet and peaceful under the sunset.

Even if the "Ice-Cold Black Fog" dies, the black fog outside the city will not dissipate within a few days. However, without its source, the power of the black fog will gradually be consumed, and there will be a day when it will disappear.

"Dark matter plane... three opportunities to communicate..."

Ryan said to himself while playing with the "Black Mist Medal" in his hand.

He had no intention of contacting the dark matter side now.

His power has almost no compatibility with the demons of the dark matter plane. In this case, without power that is similar, equal, or even surpasses that of the demons, it is almost impossible to reach a contract with them.

What's more, Ryan's power system does not require a contract with these demons.

What he wanted more was to take a look at the dark matter side, but that would require him to have even stronger power.

There was only one thing he needed to do now.

That is to deal with the ancestor of the ancient gods.

But time is running out...

Traveling between the two places has consumed too much of his time.

On the main side, the envoy of the Golden Sect is about to arrive at the Lanluo Empire.

Therefore, the ancestor of the ancient gods can only be dealt with during the next trip.

Ryan stood up and stood on the edge of the city wall.

He took a step forward and continued to fall. Before he hit the ground, there was a flash of silver light and he disappeared without a trace.

……

The morning light was bright and Ryan opened his eyes leisurely.

After returning from the ancient god's world with an extremely harsh environment, he was a little uncomfortable when he saw this beautiful world.

Even though this world is controlled by the "Golden Law" of the Golden Tree, it is much gentler than the "Ice-Cold Black Fog" and the "Extremely Scorching Sun".

All along, because he was on the opposite side, Ryan looked at the Golden Tree with tinted glasses.

But after experiencing the world of ancient gods, he discovered that for this world, the existence of the golden tree is both a constraint and a protection.

With the disappearance of the Witch King and the King of Gods, this world lost its pillar of the Ninth Order. If there is no more golden tree, once it encounters an invasion by foreign powers, the tragic situation of the ancient god world will be a precedent.

"The current state of the golden tree is a mystery, and it's a bit strange..."

"The Golden Law not only binds all spirits, but even the golden tree itself seems to follow this rule..."

Ryan mused.

"We can't get the correct answer just by guessing. After we sneak into the Golden Sect this time, we will have the opportunity to know the true situation of the Golden Tree at the moment."

Thinking of this, Ryan got up from the bed and opened the door.

Time passed leisurely.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon.

A brilliant golden stream of light streaked across the sky, and finally descended upon the palace of the Lanluo Empire. As if it was afraid that others would not see it, the speed of the golden stream of light was as slow as a turtle's crawl compared to an eighth-level cultivator.

When the golden light faded, an old man in a platinum robe appeared with a young man.

The old man is the messenger of this "Golden Ceremony", his name is Raof, and the young man is the Golden Son who was taken away from the last Golden Ceremony.

Raof stood above the palace, floating quietly, and soon, dozens of figures flew up.

It was the welcoming team from the Lanluo Empire.

Leading the group was the eldest princess, Filite.

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard on the journey." She bowed respectfully and made a welcoming gesture: "Please move, Your Excellency. His Majesty has set up a banquet."

"Yes." Raof's expression was calm, but such an attitude was extremely arrogant for an empire.

When royal power needs to bow down to divine power in order to exist, the meaning of royal power has collapsed.

The four major empires in the forbidden sea area, including the Lanluo Empire, are more like vassal states of the Golden Sect than independent empires.

Led by the eldest princess, Raof came to the main hall of the palace.

A sumptuous banquet began with his arrival.

After the hospitality, a faint smile appeared on Raof's face.

As the emissary of the Golden Sect, one of his responsibilities is to intimidate the four empires.

Now the attitude of the Lanluo Empire well reflects their awe of the Golden Sect, so his goal has been achieved.

At the end of the banquet, Raof, who was sitting at the main seat, said, "Please ask the chosen golden princess to come out and see us."

After the voice fell, the whole banquet fell silent for a moment.

"Sure enough." Raof sneered in his heart: "No matter how respectful they pretend to be, once the most core matters are involved, these royal families will reveal their tails."

"Please wait a moment, envoy." said the middle-aged man sitting opposite the main seat.

He is the king of the Lanluo Empire and the father of the eldest princess.

His specific name is unknown. After he inherited the throne, outsiders called him Lanluo XVI.

From the outside, he is a man with great dignity.

A few minutes later.

The third princess Tulisa appeared at the banquet.

She lowered her head and remained silent, in stark contrast to the other royal family members who were laughing and talking happily at the banquet.

Raof didn't care about this.

Almost every golden son and golden princess he took away was in a similar situation.

After he confirmed the accuracy of the Golden Princess's identity through secret methods, his smile grew wider and he nodded gently, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. There are many things going on in the sect, so I have to hurry back."

"Your Highness, please follow me."

There was a flash of golden light, and no one present could see Raof's movements.

He appeared beside the Third Princess Tulisa and placed one hand on her shoulder.

next moment.

The two of them turned into golden streams of light and soared into the sky.

Compared to the "slowness" before, Raof's flying speed at this moment was countless times faster.

Inside the palace, the eldest princess, Filito, lowered her head. Her face, which outsiders could not see clearly, showed a trace of uneasiness, but in an instant, she calmed down.

She stood up and left the palace, returning to the back of the palace and entering the secret room of her room.

A flickering candlelight outlines a beautiful face.

It was the Third Princess Tulisa who was supposed to leave with Raof.

Next to her were Freni and Cecilia.

A dark blue magic circle slowly flowed on the floor of the secret room where the three people were, blocking their breath.

"...Won't it be exposed?" There was a hint of worry in the voice of the eldest princess, Filite.

Hearing this, Freni chuckled and shook her head: "Don't worry."

"If Mr. Ryan takes action, everything will be fine."

Such a simple sentence contained such great confidence that even the eldest princess, Filite, was stunned.

How deep must the trust be to be able to say such words without hesitation?

I really envy you guys...

The last sentence emerged in the mind of the eldest princess, Felit.

"Master Ryan, I wish you all the best."

The girl prayed silently in her heart.

……

the other side.

"The Third Princess Tulisa" was controlled by the golden light and flew rapidly towards the distance.

What Raof could not realize was that the person with the appearance of "Third Princess Tulisa" was actually someone else.

When the Third Princess Tulisa first appeared in the banquet palace, it was indeed herself. However, after her identity was confirmed by secret methods, she was replaced.

As for how the packet was dropped?

With Ryan's strength, it is easy to do this.

His strength surpassed the limit of the eighth level, and his speed was so fast that Raof, who had barely stepped into the eighth level, could not see clearly.

The moment he turned around to talk to the king, the switch was completed.

As for now... of course I'm following Raof's lead and heading to the Golden Sect.

No one in the four empires, including the Golden Son and the Golden Princess, knew the exact location of the Golden Sect.

While being taken away, their perception and vision were blocked.

At present, the same is true for the "Third Princess Tulisa".

However, although the "Third Princess Tulisa" could not see it, Ryan could see it clearly.

To him, Raof's shield was no different from having nothing.

After flying for a while, Raof landed on a deserted island, opened a special teleportation array hidden underground, teleported to another unfamiliar sea area, and then repeated the same method and descended over another empire.

During the whole process, Ryan just watched quietly without saying a word.

In this way, it took nearly six hours in total for Raof to finally travel through the four empires and take away two golden sons and two golden princesses.

After gathering all the people, this time, Raof finally started to return to the Golden Sect.

The direction he was flying was the central area, which was where the huge golden tree that reached from the sky to the earth was located.

But every time he flew a certain distance, he would dive into the seabed and use the hidden teleportation array. In this way, he covered a long distance in a short period of time and finally arrived at a large island only a few hundred nautical miles away from the golden tree.

The Golden Sect, here we are!
Behind Raof, Ryan's eyes lit up.

"Everyone, welcome to the 'Land of Gold'. I hope you can spend a 'wonderful' life here in the coming time."

Raof released his shield and spoke meaningfully.
