<h4>Chapter 914: Moving Deep</h4>
As they approached Blue me City, they ran into several scattered teams of Earth Ghoul nsmen. Each team was carrying bundles of white arms behind their backs.
The quartet had zero mercy for these Earth Ghoul nsmen. They killed them the moment they ran into them.
Along the way, they killed almost a hundred.
Several hourster.
Jiang Zhuzhe enveloped the crystalline war chariot in a ball of bloody light before they appeared stealthily in the clouds above Blue me City.
“Blue me City is down below.” Jiang Zhuzhe pointed.
Qin Lie looked down and concentrated.
Unlike the cities they passed by, Blue me City was bustling with activity. He could see a lot of figures moving about with his eyes alone.
“There are at least tens of thousands of people that are gathered in Blue me City. They were all girls or young kids,” Eddie said softly.
Qin Lie’s face abruptly darkened.
“It’s daytime right now, so the powerful martial practitioners of the Earth Ghoul Race had probably gone underground to damage the defensive barrier around Shadow Earth Pce. When it’s nighttime, they woulde out to feed and rest for a while. We will be slipping underground in stealth and head to Shadow Earth Pce when that happens.”
Controlling the crystalline war chariot with his mind, Jiang Zhuzhe descended from the clouds and spread his tremendously vast soul consciousness throughout the whole Blue me City like mercury.
He seemed to know Blue me City very well.
“There are about two thousand Earth Ghoul nsmen in Blue me City.”
A momentter, he added, “There are… only three Soul Altar experts, however.”
“There is one two-level Soul Altar expert and two one-level Soul Altar experts down there.” Eddie took over and said to Qin Lie, “With our strength, it shouldn’t be too much trouble to kill all the Earth Ghoul nsmen down there.”
Both he and Jiang Zhuzhe were three-level Soul Altar experts, while Gilbert was as strong as a two-level Soul Altar expert.
Even without Qin Lie, they would be able to eliminate every Earth Ghoul sentinel in Blue me City.
“Blue me City and ck Jade City are connected by a spatial transportation formation. Therefore, the top experts of the Earth Ghoul Race in ck Jade City cane as reinforcements very quickly.” Jiang Zhuzhe shook his head in objection towards Eddie’s suggestion. He said, “The entire Earth Ghoul Race should have nearly ten Soul Altar experts in total, and there are at least three people who had reached the third stage of the Imperishable Realm. Moreover, an Earth Ghoul nsman named Andrew is the most terrifying of them all. It is said that he is at the peak of the Imperishable Realm, and he is only one step away from entering the Void Realm.”
“If hees over from ck Jade City with several Soul Altar experts by his side, we will be in some trouble.”
“Of course, with our level of strength it is not a problem for us to escape the Heavenly Cmity Continent intact.”
“However, it’ll probably be impossible to release this other group of evil dragons in Shadow Earth Pce as a result.”
Gilbert grew anxious when he heard this. He hastily said, “Don’t act recklessly, please.”
“We wait until it’s nighttime. Then, those Earth Ghoul Race experts underground wille out and use some living humans to activate their secret arts.” Jiang Zhuzhe seemed to have a n since the beginning. “When that happens, we will slip underground under the cover of the night and approach Shadow Earth Pce from another direction.”
“How are you so sure that they’lle out to feed when it’s nighttime?” Qin Lie looked astonished.
Jiang Zhuzhe smiled easily and said, “I’vee here once some time ago.”
“You’re saying that you purposely came over to observe the Earth Ghoul Race for my sake?” Qin Lie grew suspicious. “You guided us of your own volition in hopes of freeing the evil dragons inside Shadow Earth Pce. Don’t tell me that you did this out of the kindness of your heart?”
“Didn’t we agree to this earlier?” Jiang Zhuzhe smiled.
“Nowhere in our agreement was it said that you will personally get involved in this matter and help awaken the evil dragons in Shadow Earth Pce yourself.” Qin Lie snorted and said, “Now say it, what else are you plotting? I don’t believe that you’re this selfless.”
Jiang Zhuzhe grew embarrassed.
“There should be other things inside Shadow Earth Pce except those slumbering evil dragons. I may have need of those things…” he exined.
“Other things? What things?” Qin Lie asked seriously.
“Ancient corpses.” Scarlet light shed across Jiang Zhuzhe’s eyes. “Blue me City was originally a powerful ancient country. The royal family of this ancient country is rumored to have possessed the ‘blood of true dragons.’ After they passed away, their nsmen buried their bodies in Shadow Earth Pce. This ancient country once ruled the Heavenly Cmity Continent before Blood Fiend Sect rose to power, so this means that this royal family was extremely powerful.”
“Therefore, the royalty buried at Shadow Earth Pce were probably terrifyingly powerful experts before their deaths.”
“These people’s corpses may be useless to others, but I can use the Corpse Progenitor’s secret art to refine them into powerful Corpse Demons such as the likes of Pu Ze.”
“Before the Earth Ghoul Race invaded the Heavenly Cmity Continent, I had tried to break apart the restrictions put on Shadow Earth Pce multiple times.”
“Unfortunately, the barriers and restrictions in this ce are a little special. Even I wasn’t able to break them apart.”
At this point, he looked at Gilbert and said, “The evil dragons slumber in Shadow Earth Pce. The royalty of that ancient country possess the ‘blood of true dragons’ only because they have copted with the evil dragons. Therefore, I have reason to believe that an evil dragon like you should be able to break apart those barriers and restrictions.”
“I knew that you weren’t that kind.” Qin Lie snorted coldly.
“We are just taking what we need respectively.” Jiang Zhuzhe answered with a smile.
“Those dragonmen corpses may contain the evil dragons’ bloodline. Do you need them?” Qin Lie looked at Gilbert.
Gilbert shook his head disgustedly. “What will I do with those ancient corpses?”
“Alright.” Qin Lie turned his head and told Jiang Zhuzhe, “If there really are ancient corpses like this, you mayy im to all of them. But that is all.” With Eddie and Gilbert by his side, he could haggle with Jiang Zhuzhe however he wished.
“No problem.” Jiang Zhuzhe cheerfully epted.
After they came to mutual understanding, they continued to wait for nighttime.
It was veryte at night. Short and small Earth Ghoul nsmen walked out of a big, ck hole in session at the giant square of Blue me City.
They let out loud noises the moment they came out. nsmen of weaker realms immediately passed over several arms to them.
“Select another nine hundred human girls and send them all undergroundter. We will use their souls to fuel our secret art and forcefully break through the barrier of that pce.”
“Lord Hark said that we should be able to break down the defensive barrier at Shadow Earth Pce if we repeat this another seven times.”
“Dammit, I can’t believe how powerful the defenses outside Shadow Earth Pce are. We’ve used up one hundred thousand sacrifices and we still can’t break through them.”
“We’re almost done. So what if we have used up one hundred thousand sacrifices? Human lives are cheap anyway.”
The Earth Ghoul nsmen chatted while chewing at human arms. They thought nothing of human lives at all.
“If we cannot exterminate the three ghoul racespletely, every human being living in the Land of Chaos will eventually be ughtered like cattles.” Jiang Zhuzhe narrated to Qin Lie everything those ghouls were saying. “If you decide to attack the Heavenly Cmity Continent immediately after you go back, don’t forget to count me in.”
Surprise entered Qin Lie’s eyes.
“I am a human, after all,” Jiang Zhuzhe said calmly.
“Okay.” Qin Lie nodded.
“Come down with me. We will find a different direction instead of entering into Earth Shadow Pce directly from Blue me City.” Jiang Zhuzhended the war chariot outside the city.
Jiang Zhuzhe hid the war chariot in a dense forest outside the city. Then, he led Qin Lie and the others into arge tree stub.
Inside the stub there was a hole that led to a dark cave underground. Obviously, it stretched further and reached Shadow Earth Pce too.
“How long have you been plotting to enter Shadow Earth Pce?” Qin Lie was astonished.
He discovered that Jiang Zhuzhe was too familiar with Shadow Earth Pce. Not only was he able to detect the Earth Ghoul Race’s movements urately, he had established an underground passage to Shadow Earth Pce since a very early time.
There was no way his interest was a spur of a moment thing. He must have plotted and executed his ns systematically for a long time already.
“Three hundred years or so,” Jiang Zhuzhe said indifferently.
Qin Lie’s expression changed slightly.
Jiang Zhuzhe chuckled and cast a nce at Gilbert. He said, “If I haven’t allied with Qin Lie, I would’ve killed all the slumbering evil dragons down there and try to refine a couple of corpse dragons after entering Shadow Earth Pce.”
“You dare!” Gilbert grew furious.
“That n is in the past.” Jiang Zhuzhe smiled and didn’t grow angry at his slight. “Now go, I hope that you can break through the defenses around Shadow Earth Pce. If you cannot, then your kin will be eliminated by the Earth Ghoul Race all the same.”
