Desperate Night

Soon, I returned along the original path, following the hole.

Yu Hong made a mark on the wall, secretly remembering everything he had seen in his heart.

He went back to continue practicing the Heavenly Thunder Palm.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed. The Heavenly Thunder Palm successfully broke through to the third level.

With his current comprehension and physical strength, cultivating this type of martial art was extremely easy, not to mention the assistance of the Black Mark enhancement drugs.

Just as he was about to break through to the fourth level, he encountered the mysterious dwarf peddler again on his way to greet him in the morning.

'You're still alive, hee hee hee...' The dwarf seemed a little surprised, emitting a strange laughter towards Yu Hong.

Inside the mine tunnel, the light was dim. All the light that reached the dwarf seemed to be swallowed, and nothing could be seen.

"What do you mean?" Yu Hong frowned.

"Hee hee... Did you see that hole? Have you been inside?" The dwarf avoided the question and changed the subject.

"What's the situation inside? Why is there one in Wanxue Palace as well, and it's completely destroyed?" Yu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"That's the truth," the dwarf replied with a smile. "Don't you already have an answer in your heart?"

Yu Hong was silent.

Indeed, he had guessed some things. And as time went on, his guesses became more and more certain.

"Danger is everywhere. What you see and what you hear may not be safe," the dwarf continued, "Leave, leave hee hee..."

With the final chuckle, he disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

Yu Hong stood there, silent for a long time. Then, for the first time, he didn't immediately return to the safe house, but instead turned a corner and went to the Scripture Pavilion.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, there was a row of bookshelves labeled 'History'.

It was also densely packed with various books about Qinghe Mountain.

Yu Hong quickly searched and soon found those about Wanxue Palace.

It was a handwritten book placed on the outermost side, in a conspicuous position.

The cover was a pattern of withered yellow leaves.

Yu Hong gently opened it and directly turned to the last page.

The first paragraph inside clearly stated:

'In the seventy-third year of Qinghe, the disciples of Yuxuezi's Wanxue Palace fought on the front lines. In the end, the Dao Palace was completely destroyed. Yuxuezi's lineage suffered heavy casualties, with only three people missing, their whereabouts unknown.'

"..." Yu Hong looked at the recorded words, recalling the Dao Palace complex that had turned into ruins, and part of the guess in his heart had an answer.

He continued to flip through it, and the rest were records of various fruitless searches.

In the last paragraph, the searcher declared their abandonment, completely leaving this mining star, and from then on completely removing this place from Qinghe Mountain.

Yu Hong quietly stroked the last page, and then put it back.

Then, he searched for other books in the 'History' section.

Soon, he found another introductory booklet about the Qinghe Mountain headquarters.

After reading it, it was roughly the same as Yuxuezi described, but there were some additional records of Qinghe Mountain's successive defeats in the face of the star disaster.

Flipping to the end in one breath, Yu Hong saw that the recorder was a strange but somewhat related name.

'Recorder: Fengxuezi of Wanxue Palace.'

'Yuxuezi and Fengxuezi both came from Wanxue Palace. There must be some connection between them,' Yu Hong secretly noted the name.

Outside, it was already late. He stood up, preparing to return to his residence, and then come back to inquire tomorrow.

But as soon as he stood up, he saw that beside his shadow on the ground, there was also a faint black figure.

He slowly turned around and saw a strange man in white, carrying a long sword on his back, standing at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.

The man's face was pale, his eyes were green, and he stared at him with a smile that was both smiling and stiff.

"Who are you?" he asked in a deep voice.

The man didn't speak, just curled the corner of his mouth, revealing a strange smile.

Chih!

In the next moment, the flying sword behind him instantly shot out, turning into a streak of cyan lightning, and instantly blasted towards Yu Hong's head.

The speed of the lightning was too fast, so fast that Yu Hong was clearly fully focused, but he still couldn't keep up, and was a moment too slow. He only had time to block with his arm, and took a step back.

Chih!

A slender cut of blood was opened on his outer arm.

The protective inner force was activated at this time and covered his whole body. At the same time, under the flash of golden light, the injury began to recover rapidly.

But Yu Hong didn't have time to pay attention to these things at this time, because the cyan sword light came again.

Chih!!

The cyan sword light completely turned into lightning, crossing more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, and stabbing at Yu Hong's brow.

This speed was too fast, a speed that Yu Hong at this time could not keep up with and react to. At least it had reached the level of dozens of times the speed of sound.

Seeing that the sword light was about to touch the skin of his brow.

Yu Hong's immediate reaction to full alert was belated at this time.

Chaotic Divine Sky Eye!!

Without hesitation, Yu Hong used his ultimate move.

His right eye patch was pierced, and a beam of light as bright as a rainbow burst out from his eyes.

The rainbow beam of light was said to be colorful, but in fact, the core was mainly purple, with other colors surrounding it, forming a rotating light beam.

Pfft!!

The speed of the colorful eye beam was also extremely fast, and it hit the cyan flying sword right in the middle of the sword.

The two sides were frantically deadlocked and consuming each other in mid-air, less than half a meter away from Yu Hong's brow.

When!

Finally, the cyan flying sword exploded all at once, turning into countless cyan light spots.

And Yu Hong's Chaotic Divine Sky Eye beam also slowly extinguished, and the air was filled with the violent energy particle fluctuations left over from the confrontation between the two.

"Junior brother! Are you okay! ?" Bai Sheng's figure appeared at the door of the Scripture Pavilion at this time.

His face was solemn, and he held his unsheathed flying sword in his hand. Looking around, there was still a trace of blood on the tip of the sword.

"Sometimes there will be a few Black Disaster monsters here. If you encounter them, don't resist them head-on. Your current strength is still a bit weak," Bai Sheng instructed.

"Okay."

Yu Hong wiped his forehead at this time, and then found that it was already full of cold sweat.

The sword cultivator freak from just now, although his strength was far inferior to Bai Sheng, was still far beyond what he could handle. In just two exchanges, he almost couldn't defend himself. Perhaps if Senior Brother hadn't arrived in time, he might not have been able to defeat the opponent.

This made Yu Hong realize that after his strength was sealed by the Tai Ling Technique, not only had it plummeted, but he was also at the bottom of the food chain here.

"It's good that you're alright!" Bai Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Sensing something was wrong, I immediately flew over here. Fortunately, I arrived in time. Don't go out at this time; it's very dangerous."

"Then thank you, Senior Brother!" Yu Hong said quickly, expressing his gratitude.

A few minutes later, Bai Sheng sent Yu Hong back to White Tiger Tower, and then quickly walked into the darkness, sword in hand.

Yu Hong didn't know where he was going, but it didn't seem like he was going out for a leisurely stroll.

He stood inside the safe house, looking out through the window at the darkness that enveloped the entire planet, and sighed inwardly.

Clang.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.

On the window in front of him, a human face suddenly appeared.

A pale, twisted human face with a strange smile.

It was the white-robed sword cultivator who had attacked him earlier!

Squeak...

The human face stared at Yu Hong, pressing and rubbing against the window.

Its tongue stuck out, leaving a gray-white trail of sticky liquid on the glass.

Yu Hong stared blankly at the other party, his expression calm.

"It seems that the nights here are also very dangerous..." He recalled that he had encountered these monsters several times in the evening or at night.

Fortunately, he had the Dark Spirit Safe House; otherwise, if he had been sleeping in the White Tiger Tower, he probably wouldn't even know when he was killed.

He didn't think that the small Dustless Array he had set up could block such a powerful monster.

Even the Chaos God Heavenly Eyes could only barely repel the opponent, which showed how strong the opponent was.

It was indeed the deepest part of the Source Disaster.

It was indeed an area that had never been explored by other captains.

Swish.

Yu Hong ignored the other party's gaze, pulled down the baffle, and turned around to practice the Heavenly Thunder Palm.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang!

Outside the window behind him, there was a rhythmic series of impacts.

The impacts were strong, and the whole house was shaking slightly.

Fortunately, the safe house had been strengthened many, many times, and its defense was off the charts, making it very sturdy. Now it could even repair itself, which was even more exaggerated.

Yu Hong returned to the main control room to begin his cultivation. The more dangerous it was, the more he needed to quickly brush out the appropriate traits.

The banging continued one after another, lasting throughout the entire night.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that it gradually disappeared.

Yu Hong came back to his senses from his meditation, looked at the sky outside, stood up, took a deep breath, and poured a bottle of enhancement potion into his mouth.

He got up and began practicing his fist techniques following the Heavenly Thunder Palm.

Gradually, his palms faintly rippled with a hissing blue arc of electricity. This was the effect of the Heavenly Thunder Palm starting to circulate.

This type of technique generally requires tempering the body's strength in the early stages, so Yu Hong's current high-strength body would be very advantageous in the early stages.

Now it was the same. It wasn't until the fourth level that he began to no longer have a physical advantage, but instead focused on comprehending the artistic conception of merging with heavenly thunder.

Perhaps it was because the cyan flying sword from last night was like lightning, stimulating Yu Hong. At this time, as soon as he thought of merging with lightning, he naturally thought of that cyan flying sword.

With a tearing sound, a deep blue arc of electricity suddenly flashed between his palms.

The inner strength of the Heavenly Thunder Palm instantly broke through to the fourth level at this moment.

After tidying himself up, Yu Hong didn't feel much joy in his heart. Instead, he went to the Myriad Snow Palace before leaving.

At this time, he should also go to Yu Xuezi to pay his respects.

It would be a good opportunity to ask about the monster.

After eating something, more than ten minutes later, Yu Hong was already standing in front of Yu Xuezi, waiting quietly.

"A night attack?" Yu Xuezi was stunned. "Oh, you mean those wandering living souls?"

He nodded, indicating that he understood.

"This place is the deepest part of the Star Disaster. Even if the Heavenly Lord seals the entrance, there will inevitably be anomalies different from other areas. This kind of situation is actually very common. You'll get used to it slowly."

Seeing that he didn't care, it was obvious that this kind of thing didn't happen once, but was normalized.

"But the key is that this disciple seems to be unable to defeat them," Yu Hong said helplessly.

He now understood why other captains couldn't get in.

Not to mention the extremely high-intensity requirements needed on Fengyan's side, even if they did get in, encountering these powerful and perverted Source Disaster monsters would be like delivering food.

"Can't defeat them? This..." Yu Xuezi was a little stunned, and then his expression became serious. "Well, in that case, I'll give you this."

He took off a rough bracelet woven from green grass from his wrist and handed it to Yu Hong.

"This is the Nine-Leaf Jade Ring. It can calm the mind and produce an aura that Star Disaster monsters hate, making it impossible for them to get close," Yu Xuezi explained.

"Thank you, Master!" Yu Hong called out this "Master" with the most sincerity.

"In addition, don't wander around casually. Here, Star Disaster monsters are as numerous as wild animals. You can't even deal with the wild animals that occasionally enter the vicinity. It's useless to run far away. Stay here and cultivate for a while, and wait until you have all your magical items prepared and are safe before going out," Yu Xuezi exhorted.

"Then, Master, this disciple also saw a spectacle..." Yu Hong quickly told him about his discovery of the hole and seeing a destroyed Myriad Snow Palace after entering.

But Yu Xuezi seemed not to have heard it.

"Alright, I've told you everything I need to. Go back and cultivate. There are no years in cultivation. With your aptitude, you will soon be able to break through Qi training, so don't worry," he said to himself.

Yu Hong felt something was wrong when he saw this. After the other party finished speaking, he repeated it again.

But...

Yu Xuezi couldn't hear him at all.

He closed his eyes and meditated, sitting cross-legged, and simply entered a state of cultivation.
