Night without Borders

Chapter 225 Major Events Affecting the Night Fog World [Two Chapters in One]

The thick night fog was like sticky ink, staining the entire world. The cities on the earth were like scattered candlelight, dotted in the darkness.

Today, strange birds are constantly taking off between different Candlelight Cities, traveling back and forth to deliver the latest news. All letters are marked with blood, indicating urgency and seriousness.

The disappearance of a master-level figure is like a hurricane passing through, and the news has spread everywhere. The impact is immeasurable!

The entire night fog world was boiling.

There was a sleepless night in every city. People went from being unable to believe it at first to being shocked. The noise and bustle of the crowds almost tore the night apart.

This was like a huge earthquake, breaking all the peace of the past.

From the leader of a religion to the common people, everyone knew the news and was talking about it.

Soon, after being shocked, the top leaders of some major forces began to feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

What level are the missing few standing on? Generally speaking, they are all standing at the highest peak!
Among them are newly emerged strongmen and old masters, each one is more powerful and legendary than the other, and they are all capable of blazing a trail.

Even such characters were lost in Kunling territory, or even possibly wiped out. This is no longer as simple as a defeat in battle. It has far-reaching consequences, which may affect the overall direction of the Night Fog World.

In the dynasties and major sects, many high-ranking officials have gone from being confused in the beginning to being terrified now, and are unable to sleep well.

Such a major event hasn't happened in many years. Even the most recent large-scale land reclamation was not so tragic at the beginning, right?

The most important thing is that no one knows what exactly happened in Kunling.

Now, all parties want to find out the truth.

However, some people who had already entered disappeared.

Afterwards, the three nearby dynasties of Yu, Qian and Rui began to organize manpower and sent out regular troops to try to advance inward.

Then, the outside world, the secret sects, etc., sent strong men to Kunling one after another to investigate what happened to the ancestors of each sect.

There is no doubt that some sects of Pure Land Buddhism and Esoteric Buddhism are now somewhat panicked because their flag bearers are missing, which will cause various problems.

If the situation continues like this and becomes serious, some forces may decline or even be "taken down"!
Group after group of people, riding on advanced exotic birds, came from all directions and entered the suffocatingly quiet area.

"The latest intelligence is that the 500-man team from the Da Rui Dynasty has lost contact and is nowhere to be found."

This disappearance incident has made it difficult for all parties to relax.

Late at night, there was also new developments in the Daqian Dynasty. The regular army that was sent out disappeared.

This time, an expert immediately chased after them and found the camp they left behind on the road.

All the tents were empty, no one was there.

There were no signs of fighting at the scene, all items were intact, and those people seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

For a time, even in the middle of the night, people everywhere were not quiet and were talking about this matter.

"Kunliang has become incomprehensible for no apparent reason. What on earth has happened?"

Hundreds of living people looked like they were resting there after marching until late at night, and then they disappeared inexplicably.

The next day, after the early night, a piece of latest news caused an uproar.

Sun Taichu's third disciple, a true master, went deep into the Kunling territory and finally escaped staggeringly, covered in blood.

But he died after saying only two words, and the pure Yang consciousness was extinguished.

These were disciples taught by the founder himself, and they all lost their lives after going in to explore. It's really frightening and makes people tremble with awe for that place.

At the last moment, he actually uttered the word "fate".

These words excited everyone, but after knowing the truth, people were daunted and frightened. The founder was missing and his disciples were killed. Who would dare to break in easily?

Later, some people interpreted it and thought that what he said might not be the word "creation" but "disaster".

After all, he was seriously injured and dying at the time, his consciousness was confused, his speech was slurred, and he had suffered such an ordeal, so how could he have the leisure to tell others that there was good fortune in it.

But there are also many people who disagree, thinking that what he said was fate. How could such a person make a slip of the tongue?
This means that in the Kunling territory, risks and opportunities coexist, and those ancestors may not all be dead, and they may have discovered something.

On that day, another explosive news came. A ray of pure yang consciousness from Pu Heng, Cao Qianqiu's eldest disciple, broke through the clouds and fog, cut through the darkness, and broke out.

During the war, he did not leave but stayed there. Now he is breaking out to deliver a letter?
"It's a pity that his pure yang light burned to the end as soon as it broke through the edge of Kunling territory, and was unable to truly come out."

It was obvious that he fought his way back with a desperate effort, but failed in the end.

This shocked people and made their hair stand on end.

Putting aside the mystery of the life and death of those ancestors, the fact that Sun Taichu's third disciple and Cao Qianqiu's eldest disciple ended up like this is enough to show that it is extremely dangerous there.

By this point people were getting a little uneasy.

Jedi are a problem left over from history. When the great development took place in the past, these territories were not settled and were temporarily left alone.

People did not expect that the eruption of Kunling would be so serious and earth-shattering.

All the senior executives looked solemn and depressed. When something happened at such a critical juncture, it was hard not to have all kinds of associations.

This time, with the loss of some master-level figures, the combat power at the top of the pyramid has been sharply reduced, and there will be a lack of deterrent power to the outside world.

Originally, people from all walks of life had negotiated and were ready to embark on a large-scale expansion, marching into the depths of the night fog world, opening up a brand new world, and acquiring more resources.

But now, the whole plan is about to be interrupted.

Now, if some terrifying creatures from the depths of the Night Fog World attack back, it will definitely be very troublesome.

The only thing to be thankful for is that we haven’t discovered the Demon God’s Royal Court, the Evil God’s Kingdom, etc. on the road ahead yet. Although there are rumors of similar gods, they should be very far away, so there is no need to worry for now.

On the third day, someone explored deep into the cave, came out alive, and brought back the blood of the auspicious beast!

Immediately, this caused a huge sensation.

This was a master from a pure land outside the world. Before he got close to Kunling City and the plateau, he saw a pool of glowing golden blood on the ground.

Finally, he refined part of it himself and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the blood of auspicious beast.

In an instant, this ignited the enthusiasm of some explorers. The area on the edge of life and death holds great fortune, which makes some people want to give it a try.

Many people are asking the people from the Pure Land what the master saw in the Kunling area and whether he has discovered the truth.

As a result, the people from the Pure Land responded that the master was not near the battlefield, but retreated because he felt something was wrong. He was intercepted outside and his blood of the auspicious beast was robbed. He is currently recovering from his injuries.

"Only one thing he mentioned was a new discovery: the topography of Kunling now seems to be changing."

Sure enough, after the night fell, there was a constant rumbling sound in the Kunling area, accompanied by faint lightning and thunder, and the scene was extremely shocking.

Many people were looking from a distance.

Faintly, people actually saw many blurry scenes emerging in the night fog.

"Kunling has changed!"

People saw what seemed to be a huge ancient tree emerging, and in the distance a majestic fairy city flashed by, and there were undulating mountains and shadowy human figures.

Then, in the thunder and lightning, they all shattered again.

Immediately, the land began to shake. Mountains rose up, the land sank, large lakes formed, deserts expanded, and all kinds of terrain appeared.

Moreover, when the Kunling land was changing, in some areas, when the big mountains broke out of the ground, golden blood was shaken into the sky and then turned into golden clouds and scattered to the ground.

"Oh my god, there really is the blood of an auspicious beast. Have you guys remembered the direction? This is a great fortune that can extend life, improve talents, and change one's bones!"

"I also want to achieve Nirvana. If I get that kind of blood, I won't be able to transform into an immortal and live a second life, but I think I can live another hundred years!"

No one who saw this scene could remain calm, as they actually discovered the blood of a auspicious beast.

This means that those ancestors once severely injured or even killed the auspicious beast. In the Kunling territory, there are traces of golden blood.

"That kind of blood is extremely viscous. Every drop of it can form a large pill on its own. It won't dissipate in a short period of time. We have to find a way to get it out!"

Afterwards, extremely thick fog covered the entire Kunling area. The night was dark and nothing could be seen.

From that day on, many people came to try to explore, and two people successively obtained the blood of the auspicious beast, causing a huge disturbance.

Everyone knows that there are problems and dangers in the Kunling area, but all parties are unable to sit still and have sent out teams to investigate.

"The blood of auspicious beasts. Even the ancestors of various paths want to refine the blood of auspicious beasts to prolong their lives. For people like us, it is a treasure of inestimable value."

Money is a great motivator, let alone this kind of material. Expedition teams arrived one after another.

Earlier, people were still frightened and fearful, speculating on the mystery of the whereabouts of the ancestors, but now, many people are a little obsessed and more concerned about the fortune inside, and can't take care of other things.

"Perhaps, the ancestors have already entered the final land of creation, and what they left for us are just scraps."

"I hope so. What I'm most worried about is that all the ancestors are dead, and their battle broke open a corner of Hell, releasing something that shouldn't be in the world."

Some people are crazy, and naturally some people are worried, fearing that something bad will happen, because the changes in Kunling now are beyond everyone's expectations.

It’s unpredictable out there right now, and every day is a little different.

"What are you talking about hell and the underworld? Kunling was a legendary place back then, and it was related to god-like creatures and near-immortal creatures. If something was released there, it should also be sacred, right?"

"What are you thinking? Do you really think that bringing a god or immortal with you is gorgeous? Maybe it's even colder than the Yin Earth."

There have been various discussions and analyses recently. Dynasties and major sects all want to take action, hoping to enter the Kunling territory and seize the fortune.

"Ancient books record that Kunlun can lead to Yujing, where gods appear and disappear, and immortals appear and roam freely... Could it be that Yujing has appeared?"

Night Fog All over the world, people are talking about Kunling.

Some senior colleagues are worried. They believe that major events that will affect the direction of the future have already occurred, but they cannot grasp the context.

They want to clear away the fog and see the truth. Why is this so?

Some celebrities frowned. Could it be that the great battle a few days ago was caused by the auspicious beast colluding with the forces deep in the night fog world, leading to the sudden change? Otherwise, why would it come to this?
Otherwise, those ancestors should have joined forces to sweep away everything.

"It has nothing to do with external forces. This time, Kunling just had an accident. It seems to be reorganizing and may be restored to its legendary appearance." A big man said in a very affirmative tone. A few days later, the territory of Kunling became stable, no more earthquakes occurred, and the landforms did change dramatically, completely different from the past.

Even if people living in this area saw it again, they would not be able to recognize it.

Of course, people can only see the conditions in the outer area and cannot see far away, because the night fog here is so thick that it cannot be dispelled, and the sky and the earth are as dark as ink, much worse than before.

"Brother, when can we go in and take a look?" Xiao Wu asked.

He and Qin Ming lived in Qionghua City, a huge city near Kunling territory of the Dayu Dynasty, making it quite convenient to travel to their destination.

Qin Ming said: "Let's see, so many powerful forces are helpless, we are even less anxious, safety is the first priority, we would rather not have the auspicious beast blood than be rash."

Half a month later, there was no change in Kunling, and people from all parties came one after another and explored. Some people brought out the blood of auspicious beasts, and some obtained miraculous achievements and mysterious inheritances.

Of course, many people died in there.

"Kunling has become a completely unfamiliar place, not what we remember!"

"Some of the buildings inside are dilapidated, while others are magnificent. You may encounter living creatures or unconscious monsters. It is extremely dangerous!"

Those who escaped are still frightened and look pale. Ninety percent of those who went in died at the hands of those abnormal creatures.

"The most important thing is that we really can't defeat those creatures. They are too strong!"

"A master from the Immortal Road fought a monster and finally won. He obtained a beast-skin book which contained a powerful method."

When someone discovered this situation, they immediately went to ask for help from a famous expert, hoping that the expert would help them sweep away the group of monsters and obtain extraordinary achievements, special scriptures, etc.

However, the battle was brutal.

When the famous person appeared, an old monster also walked out of the black fog. It seemed that its spiritual sense was extremely sharp. It came rushing over by smelling the scent, specifically intending to hunt him down.

The famous player fought to the end, but was killed by the old monster.

Moreover, people discovered that the old monster had changed from being dull and his eyes began to show some light.

On that day, the old monster killed three elders of a certain Taoist sect in a row, and gradually became spiritual, as if he had been resurrected from a walking corpse.

"The land of Kunling is full of ghosts!"

The news spread quickly.

"In the black fog, those figures are all evil spirits. Those wandering ghosts are looking for scapegoats. After they kill the living, they seem to recover and reappear in the world!"

This is explosive news!

All religions were shocked and caused an uproar.

The three great dynasties were even more worried. If this statement was true, they would be the first to bear the brunt.

If countless evil spirits were to emerge in the Kunling realm and enter the three great dynasties in search of scapegoats, the consequences would be catastrophic and unimaginable.

"This news is a bit scary. Those ancestors are missing. Will they be replaced?"

"Stop talking, I feel like the sky of Night Fog World is about to collapse!"

Even some of the old seniors were shocked, because Kunliang was related to mythology. If this was a scapegoat, the level of the creature that escaped would be unimaginable.

The only thing to be thankful for is that no monsters came out of the foggy Kunling area.

"Unless he has been resurrected and is no longer a zombie, in which case, even if he escapes, we won't be able to tell him apart."

The current situation is very serious. No one knows whether the evil spirits in the ancient land of Kunling will cause trouble to the other side. All parties have come out to think of countermeasures.

As people continue to explore, they gradually sum up a lot of experience.

When a team goes into the fog to explore, the person with the highest level of Taoism will generally attract ghosts and monsters similar to him.

"So, when choosing teammates, it's best to choose people at the same level as you. You must never walk with people at a higher level, otherwise you will die miserably without any chance of fighting back!"

"You have no idea where these evil spirits come from. You can't guard against them!"

Apart from the experience of death, there is real opportunity, and the living will gain something.

"For some unknown reason, some evil spirits carry inheritance with them. As long as you kill them, you can obtain it!"

After Qin Ming and Xiao Wu waited in Qionghua City for many days, they heard a lot of rumors and after learning enough, they finally couldn't help but go in.

Because they heard that some core disciples of various sects, even immortals and gods, had begun to set foot and figured out the rules. They knew it was less dangerous not to team up with the old seniors, and they would occasionally reap great rewards.

Even so, the two of them lay dormant for several days. When they heard no news of any core disciple dying suddenly or any danger to the immortal seeds, they set off.

They formed a team of two and did not join those unknown teams because they trusted each other the most.

The two entered the outer area of ​​Kunling, feeling somewhat dazed. What they saw was indeed completely different from the past. There was heavy fog, and even in the early night, there was endless darkness.

If an ordinary person walked in, it would be the same as being blind.

Qin Ming said: "The land we are going to set foot on may not be Kunling, but the legendary mythical land!"

Xiao Wu nodded heavily and said, "In the mythical land of the dead, all those creatures in the past have become evil spirits!"

"You two dare to go in? We are a team of many people. We can lure in a monster of the same level and then surround and kill it. It's too risky for you to do this." A kind-hearted person reminded them.

Qin Ming responded: "Thank you, we will just hang around the edge. If things are not going well, we will withdraw immediately."

After a while, they went deeper and found themselves at a Gobi desert with no grass growing on it. It was extremely desolate. Apart from the black fog, there was nothing but sand and gravel everywhere.

"Don't go there! That's the small Jedi that just appeared yesterday. There's no way out once you get in, and the evil spirits are extremely fierce!" Someone shouted from behind.

However, a thick black fog surged in, cutting off their voices.

"Yeah." Qin Ming vaguely heard a shout, and when he looked back, he found only thick fog.

He concentrated his mind, and suddenly a warm current surged in his eyes. He instantly saw through the depths of the fog that someone was waving at them, but he could not hear any sound.

"Is there a problem with this area?" He frowned.

"Huh?!" At this moment, he was startled, his neck felt cold, and the black mist inexplicably turned into a rope and hung him up.

"The ghost really came and wanted me to die in its place and become a hanged ghost?!" Xiao Wu was also shocked and angry, because he also rose from the ground and was hung in the air.

This is very strange. There is no place to leverage in the void, but black ropes appear and suddenly lock their necks and hang them up.

Naturally, the two men could not just surrender and fought back with all their might.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst out from Qin Ming's body. He shook violently, and the light was as strong as a knife, cutting the black rope and falling from mid-air.

However, dozens of black ropes extended from the unknown void in all directions and locked onto every part of his body.

This is to give him a warning from the beginning.

Outside Qin Ming's body, golden clouds surged, and his hands were like knives. Every time he chopped down, several black ropes broke and finally exploded.

Xiao Wu also dealt with the black rope beside him. The two looked at each other and thought that this place was really weird. Ordinary practitioners who came in would be killed quickly by evil spirits.

Not far away, a figure walked towards the two men. It was a young man wearing tattered armor and holding a long knife, approaching the two men.

"let me!"

Xiao Wu rushed forward and attacked continuously. His fists collided with the long sword, making clanging sounds and sparks flying. After several attacks, he blew the man to pieces.

Qin Ming frowned. He knew very well how extraordinary Xiao Wu was. He was the only "seed" of the Fourth Jedi, which was equivalent to an immortal seed or a god seed. Yet he could not kill this man instantly.

"A sword manual?" Xiao Wu picked up a piece of animal skin book on the ground and read it again and again.

Then he handed it to Qin Ming and asked him to identify it.

"Not bad, this sword technique is quite good." Qin Ming was quite knowledgeable about swordsmanship. He wrote down this sword technique and practiced it a few times casually.

The two walked forward and finally saw other scenery. In the thick fog, a dilapidated palace stood on the Gobi Desert. There was no one there and it was very quiet.

"Ku Dian?" Qin Ming was surprised when he saw the two words on the palace plaque. The words exuded an ancient charm and their imprint revealed the meaning of the words.

There was an old tree in front of the dilapidated temple, with sparse yellow leaves hanging on it. Now they were swaying in the wind, and in an instant the leaves were like sharp blades and slashed towards Qin Ming.

The light from outside his body surged, blocking the dead leaves; however, it did not break them into pieces. Instead, it made clanging sounds, as if it was colliding with the Heavenly Sword.

Qin Ming was shocked. It was rare for someone to fight him with fallen leaves like this. This place was really weird. His Tianguang power was so overbearing, but he didn't crush the dead leaves in the first place.

boom!
Finally, the yellow leaves exploded and turned into powder.

However, they formed a skinny palm in mid-air and grabbed Qin Ming's neck.

At the same time, the whole old tree revived, opened its eyes, rose from the ground, stretched out its branches, and attacked Qin Ming.

Each branch eventually turned into a skinny hand, like a ghost claw.

Qin Ming was surprised that it was just an old tree, but it was so troublesome.

In order to win the battle quickly, he resorted to a trump card and practiced the Dragon Snake Sutra. Then there were dragon roars, and two beams of light, one black and one white, rushed up. The dragon and snake turned into scissors and with a snap, they cut the trunk of the old tree.

Qin Ming urged it three times before the old tree fell down and was completely cut off.

Then the old tree exploded, leaving a sign on the ground with the word "withered" written on it.

"With the token, you can enter the hall and listen to the true scriptures." A voice came from the dilapidated ancient hall.

Qin Ming looked towards the palace and was suddenly awe-inspiring. There was a cushion with densely packed figures appearing there, as if they were in different time and space.

He gritted his teeth, walked in and sat on a mat.

On the high platform at the top of the ancient temple was a nearly rotten body, with old skin stuck to the face, disheveled hair, and clothes that were also rotting. It turned out that an evil ghost was trying to preach the truth here.

Xiao Wu was waiting outside, on high alert, ready to provide support at any time.
