Chapter 910: Crossing Han Jiang (1/2, Requesting Moon Tickets)

The tree grew from An Dong'er's body.

Roots emerging from An Dong'er resembled umbilical cords—blood-red, twisted, and covered in wrinkled patterns.

She, carrying the entire tree, moved at high speed around Jingcheng.

Her direction was unpredictable, yet seemed purposeful and meticulously planned, as if tracing some kind of array.

"Yin Yin."

Though he knew nothing, those two words suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Yin Yin? What is Yin Yin…

The moment confusion arose, an answer instantly appeared in his mind.

"No… impossible! This can't be real! You can't do this!! You'll destroy Jingcheng! You'll kill every living being in Jingcheng and all of Qing Guo!"

Upon realizing what Yin Yin was, Chen Qing's eyes widened—he felt An Dong'er had gone mad!

Yes, everything he knew, every answer resolving his confusion, came entirely from An Dong'er.

Or rather, he had become part of An Dong'er—her memories had flooded into his mind.

But no matter how loudly he screamed, An Dong'er ignored him completely.

She had become a emotionless monster, reacting to nothing, merely moving at high speed through Jingcheng in pursuit of some goal.

The ruins, composed of crude line drawings, were unmistakably the buildings of Jingcheng—yet An Dong'er passed through them as if blind, colliding straight into them and effortlessly piercing through, as if existing on entirely different dimensions with no physical contact.

This sensation was just like back in Chunuan City, when he saw Fang Yue encounter 【Yin Cha】—ignoring everything, piercing through everything!

"We must stop her… No! We must flee from her! Get far away from Jingcheng! Otherwise, no one will survive!"

Chen Qing didn't know An Dong'er's actual cultivation level—he only knew that the current An Dong'er was stronger than any being he had ever known—vastly, immeasurably stronger!

That was… a living monster!

A monster far more insane than Ye Ge!

At that moment, he suddenly noticed his friend list lit up—An Dong'er's current path had just come close to Fang Yue's location.

Almost instinctively, Chen Qing opened his friend list and sent a message to Jing Yan at top speed.

Then he immediately selected "Log Out!"

Log Out! Log… Out? Log Out??

Unable to log out???

The log-out option had turned gray.

Chen Qing's face turned instantly as pale as paper, and at the same time, his distance from Jing Yan and the others surged wildly beyond the maximum range of friend communication.

That numb, unconscious sensation returned once more.

The last thing Chen Qing saw was the system, glitching like a bug, spamming notifications nonstop.

"System Prompt: System error, identity unrecognizable, temporary logout disabled."

"System Prompt: System error, identity unrecognizable, temporary logout disabled."

"System Prompt: System error, identity unrecognizable, temporary logout disabled."

…

Jingcheng, Qing Gao Lou, rooftop.

A man wearing a red phoenix mask held a woman wearing a blue phoenix mask, silently gazing down over the entire Jingcheng; their eyes locked onto something, pupils rapidly tracking its movement.

"Master Mo… no, Master, your legacy is nearly complete."

"Even celestial immortals must fall to earth. Why should dragons on earth forever soar the heavens?"

"Let me break the dragon's wings, and with its blood, offer the final symphony to your masterpiece!"

Slowly opening his palm, Feng Wang's hand revealed crisscrossing scars that faintly glowed, forming a unique array.

If Fang Yue were here, he would instantly recognize this palm array—it was a miniature replica of the ancient village-protection array from Mo Cun!

…

Han Jiang.

The normally calm river surface was now covered in thick shadows.

High above, a vast, continuous mass of Black Cloud drifted toward Han Jiang.

That dense, unnatural expanse of Black Cloud seemed to contain something profoundly terrifying—merely drifting overhead, it stirred sudden ripples across Han Jiang's surface.

Circular waves erupted violently across the river.

This eerie phenomenon spread deeper into Han Jiang as the Black Cloud drew nearer.

Gulu gulu.

Low-level anomalies beneath Han Jiang flipped onto their backs, floating up from the riverbed as dead fish.

Clearly.

The Black Cloud above was crossing Han Jiang!

The massive Black Cloud soon fully entered Han Jiang's domain, hovering over its waters.

A vast shadow fell, and more Han Jiang anomalies rose from the depths like corpses.

"Wang! Wang! Wang! Wang!"

From within the Black Cloud, a chorus of overlapping voices roared with ecstatic excitement.

"Han Jiang is nothing!" said the Third Prince of Wu Yu.

"Black Qing Gui, if you ally with our Wu Yu tribe, we will surely crush all of Qing Guo!"

The First Prince of Wu Yu added, equally excited.

Throughout the entire Black Cloud, only the King of Wu Yu's expression grew increasingly grave.

"Don't worry—I am here." The calm voice of Black Qing Gui soothed his nerves, newly entered into Mojiing.

Crack!

At that moment.

The river surface ahead suddenly split like a mirror.

The shattered lake surface seemed to shatter time and space itself; fragments scattered into the air, vanishing abruptly mid-flight.

As the anomaly in Han Jiang appeared, the thick Black Clouds floating high above suddenly struck an invisible wall, freezing mid-air and unable to advance a single inch over Han Jiang!

"What's happening?!"

"I can't move!"

"What is going on?!"

"There's something… something in the Han Jiang below!"

The five princes of the Wu Yu tribe encountered this for the first time; their entire bodies felt as if their blood had instantly frozen, rendering them utterly motionless.

Though faint, given their realm, their power—this nearly ceiling-level strength within the Qing Guo region—they could barely, barely sense it.

Beneath Han Jiang, something existed—an unimaginable, terrifying presence beyond their prior understanding—watching them, the invaders crossing Han Jiang.

Merely that gaze rendered these unruly Rain-grade anomalies utterly frozen, with no chance to resist.

"What is it… what exactly is down there?!"

"Han Jiang beneath Qing Guo hides something like this…?"

"The legends are true… No—they fall far short! Whatever lies beneath Han Jiang, even our father the king now… would likely…"
