Chapter 229

It took everyone a full half-day to complete boarding.

Most of the time was spent moving those large war machines.

As for rations and auxiliary items, they had already been loaded onto the ships in advance.

Lina led the administrative officers to stand by the pier, and after all the large ships began to leave the shore, she looked at Chen Ping.

"Lord, no matter what, I hope you preserve yourself."

"If you are here, hope is here, and Jiuzhou is here."

Lina's tone was very sincere.

The current Jiuzhou was united, with everyone's heart returning.

Chen Ping smiled at her; since recruiting Lina, he had been more like a hands-off manager.

The territory, regardless of size, was almost entirely managed by this beautiful woman.

If not for the effectiveness of "Heaven Rewards Diligence," it was feared that Lina's own professional level would have been affected.

Hearing the other party's words, he nodded.

"We will return victorious."

"We believe the Lord will surely return victorious."

After the final farewell, Chen Ping rode the silver-white Qilin, carrying Milan, and flew to the front of the fleet.

Next, he would lead the fleet to set off for the North District again via the mist ocean currents.

Although because the invasion had ended, the spatial fluctuations in the mist had returned to normal.

But Chen Ping possessed a map, so he was not afraid of getting lost in it or encountering any accidents.

The massive fleet advanced on the mist ocean, and all the sea beasts that spawned along the way fled far away.

Until the fleet disappeared from sight after passing through the mist ocean currents, these sea beasts poked their heads out with lingering fear.

Similar scenes occurred all over the sea.

And on the North District continent.

In the continuous pitch-black mountain range, a figure was hung in a deep cave.

A man clad in a black cloak swung a phantom long whip, continuously lashing the body of the person being hung.

Every time he lashed, the person being hung would let out a shrill roar.

Until finally, the soul was on the verge of collapse, and the man in black stopped his hand.

Snap.

He snapped his fingers, and the rows of torches on the cave walls immediately ignited, lighting up the surroundings.

Only then could it be clearly seen that the person being hung was none other than Lu Fei.

Or rather, the undead Lu Fei.

At this moment, on Lu Fei's body, a blurry soul body could be seen.

The soul body was full of scars, filled with traces of stitching.

The man in black shook the long whip in his hand, shaking off a ground full of soul fragments.

These were all fragments extracted from Lu Fei's soul, which twisted continuously after landing, turning into nothingness.

This cave was filled with thick death qi, and the man in black used the long whip to draw in death qi, filling it into Lu Fei's soul body.

With the filling of the death qi, Lu Fei gradually regained consciousness.

A few more stitching traces appeared on his soul body.

"This soul won't last much longer."

"The previous eruption of obsession almost destroyed my arrangement."

After Lu Fei regained consciousness, he was untied, and after landing, he knelt quietly on the side, like a statue.

Everything looked just like Chen Ping's guess back then.

Lu Fei had long since died; those masterminds behind the scenes had taken a fancy to Lu Fei's identity and soul.

What the man in black's long whip lashed away was actually the part of the obsession deeply hidden in Lu Fei's soul.

Because of the previous eruption, the obsession grew, already affecting the purity of the soul.

But the man in black couldn't clear all of Lu Fei's soul's obsession; otherwise, the soul would perish instantly.

Beside the man in black, there was a small altar, and on top of the altar sat a simple fire basin.

Burning inside the fire basin was a white flame.

After the man in black finished speaking, the flame rose a few times.

"Let me restrain? How can I restrain? It's already progressed to this step."

"That kid is just talking big; do you think he really dares to come and attack here? There are over a hundred thousand undead here!"

The man in black was somewhat excited, seemingly dissatisfied with the information conveyed by the flame.

He excitedly lifted the hood of his cloak, revealing a face like a skeleton.

He had almost no muscle tissue, and apart from skin, there was only bone.

The eye sockets were deeply sunken, the pupils were all white, and blue soul fire emerged.

"I went through all kinds of hardships to get such an opportunity; for this, I even gave up my main body.. 0"

"As long as I persist until this trial ends, I can obtain the reward of the highest dimension!"

"At that time, I can use this kid's body to be reborn and charge toward the path of the god throne again!"

Facing the man in black's excitement, the flame on the fire basin became even more violent, constantly sweeping like a fire snake.

Along with the entire cave, the entire black mountain range began to shake.

"Fart! He can block your one attack, can he block your two?"

"I don't care, I bet everything on this; these damned ants, if they provoke me, I'll slaughter them all..."

"Whoever blocks my path, I will kill!"

The skeleton man's hoarse voice echoed continuously in the cave.

The flame in the fire basin finally became weak, no longer responding to the other party.

Seeing this, the skeleton man put on his hood, hiding his terrifying face.

"Don't worry, mere apprentice lords, how strong can they be."

"Even if I abandoned everything to enter here, they are not even worth a finger of mine."

"That day he borrowed the power of a god, but a god's power can be used once but not twice, and the Trickster won't help him either."

"I need this opportunity too much, I really need it too much..."

The skeleton man walked in front of Lu Fei, grabbing the other party's hair and lifting him up.

The skinny hand gently stroked the other party's skin, as if admiring some artwork.

"After Wang Ling, tsk tsk, didn't he still foolishly become our pawn."

"Really thought he could be resurrected without knowing necromancy, be good, I will help you slaughter that kid."

"Wait until this trial passes, you can also return to peace, you'll be good, and I'll be good."

"Now, go out, this time there are so many trolls to supplement, raise a few more legions."

Lu Fei nodded, turning to walk toward the cave exit.

But just at this moment, a Death-Telling Bird suddenly flew into the cave, turning into countless black feathers with a bang.

The black feathers merged into a ball of black mist, showing a three-dimensional scene.

That was a seaside, where ship after ship rushed out from behind the mist, heading toward the North District continent!

At the very front of the fleet, a man rode a Qilin, his expression stern!

The previously calm Lu Fei suddenly became ferocious again.

His eyes gradually turned red, and the death qi on his body continuously drifted out.

The skeleton man behind did not speak, but his hand clenched until it rattled.

The flame in the fire basin on the small altar suddenly rose with a boom!

The white flame flickered crazily, illuminating the entire cave with ghostly shadows!

"Truly..."

"Seeking death!!!!"

With a boom, the skeleton man shattered the black cloak on his body!

He grabbed Lu Fei, who was about to go berserk again.

Directly twisting the other party's spine, making the other party only able to twist on the ground like a worm.
