Chapter 81
As a result, he saw a spatial vortex appear ahead, with thunder and lightning erupting continuously.
The vortex was composed of pure spatial energy; its appearance in the basin directly caused an elemental imbalance throughout the entire area.
Chen Ping could feel intense reactions and changes occurring in all directions within the basin.
And on the southeast side, an aura flashed and vanished, which he keenly captured.
But before Chen Ping could sense it carefully, several people suddenly rushed out from the spatial vortex ahead!
"Damn it! Just wait until I develop for a while, and I'll go back and hack you all to pieces!"
"What the hell! Where is this? Is the environment in the East District this abnormal?"
A familiar figure, a familiar tone.
Chen Ping couldn't help but cover his face, and Milan behind him also revealed a strange expression.
Because the one who appeared outside the spatial vortex was none other than Huang Qi!
This kid whose mouth was comparable to a poisoned dagger!
Over there, Huang Qi was cursing and swearing, feeling anxious as he watched his subordinates being attacked by the heatwave and collapsing to the ground.
He had less than ten people left of his entire fortune: three heroic souls and six warriors.
If these warriors fell, would he have to rely on the heroic souls to hold the Lord's Hall?
Once something happened to the Lord's Hall and the Lord's Crystal lost its support, it would be in a state of constant energy loss, and that would mean death.
Just then, he looked up abruptly and found the temperature ahead was slightly cooler, so he took a few quick steps forward.
The distorted scene returned to normal, and the first thing Huang Qi saw was Chen Ping, who was sitting on a silver-white Qilin with a helpless expression.
"Holy crap! How does a kid like you have such a badass mount?"
"If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak."
Chen Ping waved his hand, and the shield guards immediately opened a passage, while a dozen people rushed out to help receive Huang Qi's men.
At this moment, the spatial vortex had already begun to shrink and disappear, but the elemental riot in the basin did not subside along with it.
Milan had already sensed that creatures were gathering around; they were likely already surrounded.
She immediately began to have everyone enter combat status.
Huang Qi trotted over to Chen Ping.
With the silver-white Qilin's four hooves on the ground, its back height was already 1.8 meters; looking down from where Chen Ping sat, Huang Qi looked even smaller.
After thinking about it, he dismounted from the Qilin.
"Aren't you from the North District? How did you end up in the East District?"
"Hehehe, I have my own methods; a World-Breaking Stone isn't exactly a rare item."
Huang Qi looked smug as he recounted the process of how he searched for weak points in space, analyzed the corresponding coordinates, and broke through the boundary.
At the same time, he didn't forget to smear the people from the North District.
Chen Ping sighed inwardly; this kid was also a talent.
To have walked this far without being hacked to death—did he save the world in his past life?
Spatial traversal sounds simple, but in reality, it is fraught with difficulties.
If one is not careful, one could be teleported into the void and die without even knowing how.
Even if it wasn't the void, if one were teleported into the Chaos Sea, the outcome would be just as miserable.
Yet Huang Qi had actually managed to arrive in the East District.
Chen Ping couldn't help but raise his evaluation of Huang Qi; this kid might be extremely sensitive to space and a genius in this regard.
However, along this journey, this kid's losses had also been heavy.
According to him, 99% of his territory's residents had perished, and two heroic souls had also died.
As for all his supplies, apart from what he carried in his personal spatial package, all that remained was the Lord's Hall.
Even the Lord's Hall was tattered and could fall apart at any moment.
Fortunately, this kid had modified the Lord's Hall back then, cutting away many things and retaining only the main frame.
Otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to carry.
However, Huang Qi's subordinates were also exhausted, and the few heroic souls had no combat capability, collapsing to the ground after entering the shield guards' defensive formation.
Alchemist Mai Er hurriedly took out a medicine kit to provide emergency treatment to these people.
The shield guards already had their weapons in hand, ready to fight at any time.
The blacksmith Bo Luo was also huffing and puffing as he fiddled with his large iron hammer.
With Milan presiding over combat matters, Chen Ping arrived in front of Huang Qi's Lord's Hall.
Upon seeing Huang Qi's Lord's Hall, an idea suddenly occurred to Chen Ping.
"You've managed cross-boundary teleportation; can you do it within this basin?"
Chen Ping looked at Huang Qi, who reached into his pocket and took out a crystal the size of a finger—it was the World-Breaking Stone.
"There's only this much left. If the distance doesn't exceed ten kilometers, it's no problem, but you have to give me the coordinates."
"That'll do. Borrowing your Lord's Hall for a moment."
"What the hell? Can a Lord's Hall be borrowed?"
Huang Qi was confused, but Chen Ping had already opened the door of the Lord's Hall and stepped onto the roof.
The second floor, which originally served as a living room, had been dismantled by Huang Qi, so it was empty, and one could see the crystal floating above by looking up.
He took out the Book of Weirdness.
Ending the artifact's power fluctuations, he began to release magic power to connect with the Lord's Hall.
Since Huang Qi's Lord's Hall had not yet re-established its foundation, the resistance was not strong.
After Chen Ping's magic power was injected, light suddenly surged from the Lord's Hall, but it failed to break through for a long time.
Chen Ping thought for a moment and looked back at Huang Qi.
"You came here to join me, right?"
"Duh, otherwise would I be throwing away my entire fortune for fun?"
"Fine, then join the alliance."
Chen Ping chuckled and sent Huang Qi an invitation link directly.
【Tianqu Alliance invites you to join】
Huang Qi didn't hesitate and clicked confirm immediately.
He had naturally seen the previous district-wide announcements and had long known that Chen Ping had an alliance.
Logically, by now, every major district should have had its own alliance appear, but Chen Ping was the first, which is why he received the announcement treatment.
After Huang Qi joined, Chen Ping felt that the connection between himself and Huang Qi's Lord's Hall had become tighter.
The Lord's Hall no longer showed the faint resistance it had before.
Chen Ping went all out, and magic power surged out.
Immediately, an invisible ripple swept out in all directions.
In an instant, large swaths of the basin's terrain and environment were directly scanned by Chen Ping.
He was utilizing the Lord's Hall's ability to control its own territory.
A Lord inside the Lord's Hall can see all information and conditions of the territory at any time.
This basin was not his or Huang Qi's territory, but who would have thought that someone would carry a Lord's Hall here?
The Lord's Hall could not control this place, but the scanning ripple could be released.
What Chen Ping wanted was this bit of information acquisition.
Combining it with the direction of the aura he had sensed earlier, he instantly captured the existence of the opponent's trail.
Northwest direction!
Nine kilometers away!
Just within the ten-kilometer limit!
"Milan, you lead the shield guards to hold the monsters here."
"Bo Luo, Mai Er, come up. Five more shield guards, we're teleporting!"
When Chen Ping's words came out, Huang Qi was the first to be shocked.
His heroic souls and warriors hadn't even recovered yet.
To teleport, he, the caster, had to accompany them, but how many people had Chen Ping brought?
The environment of this basin was extremely harsh, and Huang Qi had discovered its severity the moment he arrived.
He had wanted to refuse Chen Ping, but then he remembered the scene where Chen Ping killed Lu Fei in front of the gods, and he hesitated.
