Chapter 409 First Visit to the Northern Region
"...Yes, it's my turn!"

The Supreme Elder of the Ji family snapped out of his daze, forced a smile, and replied. Then, he turned his gaze back to the world behind the door and asked rather cautiously:
"Ziyue, what is the True Lord doing...?"

"Oh!" Ji Ziyue said with a smile, "Senior has not traversed the void for a long time and misses it quite a bit, so he took us on a tour of the void. It has kept Grandpa Ninth Ancestor waiting for a long time!"

"Soon, soon..."

The Supreme Elder of the Ji family responded with a dry laugh, barely suppressing the shock in his heart.

At the same time, Ye Fan and the other group members stepped out of the golden door one by one.

As Lin Yu finally stepped out of the domain gate and onto the high platform, the Supreme Elder of the Ji family immediately bowed respectfully, leading a group of extraordinary Ji family members in a deep salute to Lin Yu:
"The ninth son of the Ji family pays respects to the True Lord of the Universe!"

"No need for formalities..."

Lin Yu waved his sleeve to help everyone up, then glanced at the leading elder and asked, "I am new to this world and do not yet know the current situation in the Northern Region. Young friend, you have been here for quite some time, could you perhaps answer some questions for me?"

"That's natural!"

Ji Family Ninth Ancestor smiled slightly and immediately took out a jade slip from his bosom, respectfully handing it to Lin Yu: "To be honest, True Lord, I have already prepared intelligence on the orders of the Holy Lord. All information about the Northern Region, including the map of the Northern Region that has been explored, as well as the power distribution of the major families and holy lands, is contained in this jade slip!"

"Oh?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and took the jade slip with interest, saying, "You're quite thoughtful!"

Ji family patriarch was overjoyed and quickly said, "The fact that the True Lord is willing to accept Ziyue as his disciple is an honor for the entire Ji family. What is a little bit of information?"

This flattery was quite skillful.

Ji Ziyue's expression turned somewhat strange, as if she hadn't expected her usually kind and gentle Ninth Ancestor to say such a thing.

Lin Yu was used to this; with a sweep of his divine sense, he understood all the information in the jade slip.

After doing all this, he casually handed the jade slip to Ye Fan, then looked at the ninth ancestor of the Ji family and clicked his tongue, saying, "If I am not mistaken, this should be just a large source mine."

"To need an ancestor like you, a first-level Celestial Realm expert, to oversee this place, isn't that a bit of an overreaction?"

what? !

This is actually a first level of Sendai?

The group members all looked at the old man in front of them with some surprise.

Ji Family Ninth Ancestor said with a wry smile: "True Lord, you may not know this, but the forces in the Northern Region are complex and intertwined. Especially near the Primordial Origin Mine, there are many aristocratic families and holy lands, as well as many local forces that can rival the holy lands."

"Among them, the thirteen major bandits in the Northern Region are the most noteworthy."

“These thirteen bandits are all extraordinary individuals. There are powerful figures from the Eastern Wilderness who rebelled against the Holy Land, powerful figures from the Central Plains who wandered here, and powerful figures from the Western Desert who fled here.”

"They are incredibly powerful and audacious, daring to directly rob the mining areas of various holy sites."

"Just recently, the source mines of the Yao Guang Holy Land were plundered by the Thirteen Great Bandits. My Ji family is worried that we will become the next target, which is why we sent this old man here to oversee the situation..."

Thirteen bandits...

The group members exchanged glances, their faces showing great interest.

Ye Fan, in particular, had already read the Northern Region storyline and was quite looking forward to making many new friends.

"I see!"

Lin Yu nodded, his expression showing understanding.

Ji family patriarch smiled and said respectfully, "Of course, in front of the True Lord, even the Thirteen Great Bandits are nothing more than thirteen clowns!"

"His Holiness has already given instructions that the True Lord and all the esteemed disciples of the Immortal Palace are the most honored guests of my Ji family."

"On this trip to the Northern Regions, we, the Ji clan, will do our utmost to ensure you are well received..."

"No need for hospitality!" Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "I have other goals on this trip and will not stay here."

"Yeah……"

Upon hearing this, the ninth ancestor of the Ji family was taken aback, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

Lin Yu glanced at the expression on his face and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, since I'm indebted to your Ji family, I'll naturally lend you this little bit of empty fame. There's no need to beat around the bush and ask me to take charge!"

"This...that's not what I meant!"

Upon hearing this, the ninth ancestor of the Ji family was greatly alarmed and hurriedly cupped his hands, repeatedly saying that he dared not accept such a thing.

Lin Yu remained noncommittal and continued, "After today, you can convey a message to the various noble families and holy lands in the Northern Region, informing them of my arrival."

"If any fool dares to jump around in front of me and gets slapped to death by me, don't blame me for not warning them beforehand..."

This means they are allowed to use Lin Yu's name to intimidate the holy lands!
Ji's ninth ancestor was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed respectfully, saying, "Yes, sir."

Lin Yu nodded slightly and immediately turned to look at He Jingfeng.

He Jingfeng understood immediately, waved his hand and released the star destroyer that stretched for dozens of miles. After all the members boarded the ship, it slowly sailed away amidst the astonished gazes of the Ji family.

"Is this the so-called fairy ship?"

"Truly majestic and awe-inspiring, utterly domineering!"

An elder of the Ji family exclaimed in surprise, "We originally thought this was the mount of the True Lord, but we never expected it to be in the hands of a disciple of the Immortal Palace who is only at the Fourth Extreme Realm..."

"Could it be that this ship isn't so precious in the Celestial Palace?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, a thought stirring within them.

If that's the case, then does the Ji family have a chance to buy one?
……

……

Meanwhile, the star destroyer had already left the Ji family's residence and was slowly heading north. Ji Ziyue stood on the balcony outside the pavilion, looking down at the seemingly barren land below with slight trepidation, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Senior, are we really going to use this thing to travel?"

"This is the infamous Primordial Mine of the Northern Region!"

Upon hearing Ji Ziyue's words, all the group members were taken aback and asked in surprise:
"Is this the Primordial Ancient Mine?"

"To be precise, it is the outer area of ​​the Primordial Ancient Mine."

Ji Ziyue turned around and explained to the group members, "Although the Northern Region is famous for its abundant mineral resources, the area around the Primordial Ancient Mine is the most productive."

"The area within a radius of 100,000 li centered on it is the richest region in the Northern Region in terms of mineral resources."

“The various holy sites have already divided up these source minerals, and the mining area we were just in is one of them!”

That's it!

The group members looked enlightened.

Su Haoming asked with interest, "So, does that mean we've reached our destination directly?"

"destination?"

Ji Ziyue was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked incredulous.

The so-called Primordial Ancient Mine is one of the seven forbidden zones of life in the Eastern Wilderness, and it is extremely dangerous, no less so than the Ancient Forbidden Land.

Even for aristocratic families, such places are only explored cautiously after thorough preparation.

Judging from what Su Haoming and the others said, it seems that their trip to the Northern Region was specifically for the Primordial Ancient Mine?!
"This...this is too reckless, isn't it?"

Ji Ziyue frowned and said, "I know you are very strong, and the Immortal Palace is mysterious and unpredictable, but the Primordial Ancient Mine is one of the most dangerous forbidden zones in the Eastern Wilderness."

"Many god-kings, emperors, and powerful cultivators disappeared after entering the Primordial Ancient Mine."

"Even if we want to explore the Primordial Ancient Mine, we should at least make some preparations first. How can we just steer our celestial ship straight into the forbidden zone like this?!"

“Junior Sister Ji is right!” Su Haoming nodded and said seriously, “The Primordial Ancient Mine is no ordinary instance. It is full of resources, but also fraught with danger.”

"We definitely need to plan this carefully if we want to clear the level!"

Finally, someone who understands!

Ji Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right, that's right!"

Su Haoming changed the subject, saying, "So let's discuss whether to go to Purple Mountain first, or Yaochi, or something like Fire Dragon Tomb or Fallen Sun Ridge..."

"of course?"

Yun Ye replied without hesitation, "Of course we should go to the ancient site of Yaochi first!"

He Jingfeng nodded in agreement, saying, "Brother Ye has already advanced to the other shore for many days and is indeed in dire need of an ancient Dao Palace scripture."

"I vote for Lao Yun, let's go to Yaochi Ancient Site first!"

Ye Fan looked grateful and immediately raised his hand to cast his vote as well.

Su Haoming nodded and said, "Then let's go to Yaochi first... Junior Sister Ji, what do you think?"

Of course it's unbearable to look at!

Ji Ziyue's lips twitched slightly, and she stared at Su Haoming and the other three with a black line on her face.

These guys said they'd take things slowly, but all they did was discuss where to go first. They showed absolutely no concern for the dangers and ominous signs of the Primordial Ancient Mine!

Oh well, she already knew these guys were unreliable anyway.

Fortunately, they had Senior Lin with them on this trip. Senior Lin is incredibly powerful and unpredictable. He should be able to see at a glance how great the danger is hidden in the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Thinking of this, Ji Ziyue couldn't help but turn her head and cast a hopeful glance at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and said, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't refute anything..."

Ji Ziyue: "..."

Well, none of them are reliable!

Just as she was rubbing her forehead with her hand, racking her brains for a way to persuade everyone to be vigilant, the sky above the Star Destroyer suddenly changed color.

Ji Ziyue suddenly woke up and hurriedly looked up at the sky. She saw that there were no stars or moon in the sky, and it was all dark, as if a black cloth had suddenly covered the entire ship.

No matter which direction you look from, you can't see anything beyond the fog.

All that could be seen were wisps of gray mist rising and falling, slowly rotating around the Star Destroyer.

"call out--"

The next second, the gray mist suddenly spun, transforming into high-speed rotating gray whirlwinds that frantically sliced ​​through the entire star destroyer.

"Om-"

The blue energy shield activated instantly, trembling and buzzing as it was cut by the ghostly wind.

Ji Ziyue was startled and couldn't help but turn around, glaring angrily at the crowd:
"What did I say—"

"roll!"

Before the words were finished, a heavy, cold snort came from inside the pavilion.

The rolling sound waves, carrying the power of space, spread out and covered a distance of dozens of miles in just an instant, causing the gray sea of ​​mist that had enveloped the entire star destroyer to collapse!
