Ling Han looked at Zhao Shuang smilingly, “What eternal antidote?”
‘Ah, you were the one who poisoned me, and you don’t know what the eternal antidote is?’
‘You can’t play around with me like this!’
Zhao Shuang hurriedly replied with a grin, “Aren’t I poisoned now? It has already been over 10,000 years. It has always been dormant inside my body, and I fear that there would be after-effects. What if some kind of residual trouble is left behind… I’ll be honest with you, Brother Long, I still have no children yet, so I’m afraid that it would affect the later generation.”
Ling Han felt an urge to burst out laughing. He had not expected that this guy’s personality would change so drastically in these 10,000 years. What was left of all his previous arrogance?
!!
Changing the topic, he asked further, “How many from the Ghost King City would be going?”
“Basically, every single Ninth Heaven Celestial King would be going. There are also a few of us, these juniors and descendants, that are able to go with them,” Zhao Shuang said.
“Are you?” Ling Han looked at him.
Zhao Shuang quickly shook his head, “Of course, I am not going. It’s so dangerous!”
F***, this cowardly brat.
Ling Han shook his head, and said smilingly, “Go back and tell your father that you have suddenly changed your mind, and wish to go with him.” Zhao Shuang’s old man was a Ninth Heaven Celestial King, so it was definitely no issue for him to bring some people with him.
“Ah?” Zhao Shuang pulled a long face. Who did not know this kind of place was the most dangerous? He really did not want to go in the slightest. In any case, it was fine since his old man had gone. Whatever they obtained, he would definitely manage to obtain a share of the profits.
In this way, there was no need for him to expend effort or take any risk either, and he would be able to reap what he has not sown. With something so good, wouldn’t it be very dumb for him to take the risk instead?
Ling Han clapped a hand on his shoulder, “No problems, right?”
“No,” Zhao Shuang could only shake his head. It couldn’t be helped that his life was grasped in Ling Han’s hands, right?
After Zhao Shuang returned, he indeed voiced out to Zhao Yuanyi that he wanted to go to the Ancient Tomb.
This caused Zhao Yuanyi pleasant surprise, because Zhao Shuang naturally would not say that he had been threatened, but rather that he suddenly felt that, as a man, and the descendant of a Ninth Heaven Celestial King at that, he needed to be more courageous.
This naturally made Zhao Yuanyi feel very gratified. His son was finally showing some slight promise.
—If he knew that this was still because his son was afraid of dying, who knew just how furious he would be.
After a few days, Zhao Shuang came once more to seek out Ling Han, bringing some information with him.
Aside from the various great Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings, among the second-generation young masters, the Yin River Celestial King and Yang Xiaoling would both be going, and added with Zhao Shuang, these were the only three remaining descendants or disciples of the three great Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings of Ghost King City.
“I’ll just follow you and be a lackey,” Ling Han looked over the namelist, and said to Zhao Shuang, grinning.
Zhao Shuang could only grimace. How dared he treat this lord as a lackey?
Several days later, the main forces set out.
Ling Han mingled into the masses. Naturally, it was impossible that he would again take the form of Li Long, but it was not his true appearnce either. Instead, he had just randomly altered his appearance, then had Zhao Shuang get him a false identity.
The false identity that Zhao Shuang gave him was actually like a real identity. With the help of this kind of second-generation young master, what need was there for him to fear that he would not be able to pull off the deception?
The group was actually very massive. Merely in term sof Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings, there were more than twenty. On the other hand, it was the group of second-generation young masters that was relatively smaller, comprising of Zhao Shuang and the other two, and added with some lackeys that they had brought with them, the total number was only over a dozen people.
Ling Han did not draw anyone’s attention. After all, he was just the lackey of a second-generation young master; who would care about him?
They flew the banner of the Desolate Moon Alliance, all of them seated on a warship. With Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings personally powering the warship, the speed was astonishingly quick. Furthemore, though the Celestial King Graveyard was extremely large, it was only a small world after all. No matter how big it was, there were still limits.
Three years later, they were finally drawing close to their destination.
With Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings powering it personally, it actually still needed as many as three years?
Because this world was turned by the power of a Heavenly Venerate into an independent space, the Regulations of Space were also greatly affected. One could teleport, but this was only possible in short ranges. It was not possible to travel over great distances through teleportation.
Ling Han was sure that if he was journeying on his own, he would probably need around twenty years.
Firstly, his speed was considerably slower than Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings, and secondly, it was impossible that he could journey at full speed in a single stroke over twenty years without the slightest bit of rest at all.
Ahead of them, a gigantic, black-coloured swamp lay.
The warship stopped at the boundaries of the swamp and did not enter. Looking from midair, a black aura was wafting from the swamp. It looked like smoke as it turned into snake-like forms.
This was a land of death. It was said that even Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings could not barge in here, as this could be fatal and deadly.
The reason why Desolate Moon had gathered countless Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings together was so that they could conquer this whole area. That was because the Ancient Tomb was located in the most central zone of this swamp. Without sweeping aside all opposition in this swamp first, there would be no way for them to enter, so what was the point of speaking further of rewards?
Ling Han still did not know exactly what precious treasures lay inside this Ancient Tomb, or was Ancient the title of a certain elite, because Zhao Shuang had been unable to find out the exact details, no matter how hard he tried.
Perhaps even Zhao Yuanyi did not know, or he too was not informed.
They were not the first to arrive. There were a great many warships anchored in the skies. Some bore the symbol of the Desolate Moon Alliance, indicating that they belonged to the same sime, but there were also some that bore other symbols.
Presently, in the Celestial King Graveyard, there were basically three different forces. One was the Desolate Moon Alliance, the second was the Ten Thousand Dragons Alliance and the third was the Seasons Alliance. Among them, both the Ten Thousand Dragons Alliance and Seasons Alliance had had no option but to ally together due to the rising of the Desolate Moon Alliance. Otherwise, if they were all divided forces, their fates would definitely lead to being crushed to dust.
This time, the Desolate Moon Alliance had moved out with such great uproar. Clearly, it had also drawn the attention of the other two great alliances, and they too had sent out their troops.
Perhaps, the numbers they deployed was not as numerous as the Desolate Moon Alliance, but as long as the two alliances joined forces, it was still no difficult matter for them to match the Desolate Moon Alliance.
The warships were clearly divided into three groups. Each alliance occupied a corner respectively, but it was apparent that the Ten Thousand Dragons Alliance and the Seasons Alliance were closer to one another, and maintained a farther distance with the Desolate Moon Alliance.
And inside the alliance, each warship maintained a considerable distance between each other as well. After all, they were all just allies. It was not that they had really become companions.
They waited for another few more months, and more and more warships arrived, all crowding above the swamp.
The mysterious elites, Desolate Moon, finally arrived. He was wrapped in a loose, black coloured hood. His build could not be distinguished at all. In fact, it could not be discerned even if it was a man or woman.
His voice was airy, and completely gender-neutral, so it was also impossible to use his voice to determine his gender.
Everyone knew that he was deliberately concealing his identity. Thus, no one compelled him to do otherwise. Though Desolate Moon’s cultivation level was not apparent, even Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings could feel a heavy pressure, so they knew that this person was extremley strong.
However, everyone was brimming with confidence.
There were too many Ninth Heaven Celestial Kings here. Even if a First Tier Heavenly Venerate had arrived, they would not dare to say that they could obliterate all of them without paying a price. On the contrary, the chances that this Heavenly Venerate would be killed by their combined forces was even higher.
Of course, it was a different case for a Second Tier Heavenly Venerate. They had truly grasped the fundamental power of the Genesis World. Who knew how many times stronger this kind of existence was compared to a First Tier Heavenly Venerate. The gap of power beween a Second Tier Heavenly Venerate and Ninth Heaven Celestial King Tier was already not something that could be compensated with pure numbers.
No matter how strong Desolate Moon was, there was no possible way that he was a Second Tier Heavenly Venerate. At present, there were great numbers of them gathered here, and no one had feel too much wariness.
“Since both the Ten Thousand Dragons Alliance and Seasons Alliance are here as well…” Desolate Moon stood proudly in the skies, turning his head to survey the surroundings, sweeping a glance over all of them, “Why don’t we just join forces and cooperate then?”
