Chapter 308: Mistakenly Entering Chong Yuan
The customs of the two countries are really completely different!
Along his journey, Gu Han saw many things that are hardly ever seen in the Ben Lang Guo.
In comparison, Gu Han originally thought that the Ben Lang Guo people practiced martial customs.
All showed such simple and honest folk customs!
Gu Han's speed was extremely fast; in just a short day, he traversed numerous cities of the Jian Chi State.
That day, he also, following his conscience, acted as a wandering knight several times, punishing evil and promoting good several times.
Although, in theory, the ones he saved were also people of an enemy country.
But it still made Gu Han feel quite relieved.
Doing good deeds might not bring him actual benefits.
But it could make his body and mind feel pleased.
However, just the next day, when Gu Han was preparing to return to Vast Wild City,
But Little Wolf suddenly let out a low growl.
"Little Wolf, did you sense any movement?"
Gu Han looked at Little Wolf and asked.
Little Wolf nodded, "Awoo!"
Gu Han furrowed his brows, never expecting Little Wolf to detect an ancient and mysterious aura at this moment!
Through the Battle Pet System, Gu Han learned that, in Little Wolf's perception, this aura was like an extremely ancient and long-sealed area suddenly opening, emitting this aura.
"The three cities shouldn't act so quickly."
Gu Han hesitated for a moment, then immediately made a decision, looking at Little Wolf,
"Let's go, let's check it out."
Little Wolf excitedly nodded, then suddenly grew larger, allowing Gu Han to mount.
Little Wolf immediately burst forth with extreme speed, turning into a stream of light flying toward the distance.
After about half an hour, Gu Han and Little Wolf grew closer to that aura.
Gu Han, relying on his keen eyesight, discovered the source of the aura.
That was a huge black vortex!
At a rough glance, the vortex's diameter is probably about ten zhang!
The vortex hovers tens of zhang above the ground, like an eye of a vortex, making one feel as if just looking at it would suck them in.
Not only that, as soon as Gu Han saw the vortex, he discovered several demon beasts appearing near it.
Immediately, they seemed to lose control of their bodies and were sucked into the vortex!
Not only that, within a radius of several kilometers around the vortex, all mountains, forests, ancient trees, and anything with life were all sucked into the vortex!
Seeing this, Gu Han's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What the heck is this vortex?"
Just as he was about to summon the Fish-Roc to identify the origin of this black vortex,
Suddenly, several streaks of light flashed across the sky, flying straight toward the black vortex!
"These auras are all Martial Venerables?"
Gu Han sensed these auras and raised his eyebrows.
He is not currently in a prefectural capital, but merely at a junction of several cities.
According to reason, the appearance of a single Martial Venerable is already extremely rare.
Three Martial Venerable auras appearing in succession here is truly unimaginable!
Moreover, these Martial Venerables flew from afar, without the slightest hesitation, diving headfirst into the black vortex, likely with ulterior motives!
"Could it be that there is some opportunity inside this black vortex?"
Gu Han pondered briefly in his heart.
The strongest in this world is the Martial Emperor.
But the Fish-Roc's strength, from birth, is that of a Nine-Star Monster Emperor, equivalent to a human Martial Emperor.
Even if there is danger inside this black vortex, it surely wouldn't put a Martial Emperor in mortal peril!
Furthermore, given the Fish-Roc's divine beast bloodline, would those Martial Emperors really be a match for it?
"Little Wolf, let's follow them!"
As Gu Han's words fell, Little Wolf let out a long howl, immediately soaring into the air and crashing into the black vortex.
With a flash of black light within the vortex, the person and wolf vanished from the spot.
After they left, more streaks of light flew in from the sky, rushing into the black vortex.
They didn't know that, at this moment, the court of the Jian Chi State was already in great turmoil!
What shook the Jian Chi State's court was not the fall of Dan Ren Cheng.
Strictly speaking, the news of Dan Ren Cheng's fall has not yet reached the ears of the Jian Chi State's court officials.
What they are concerned about now is the sudden appearance of the Chong Yuan!
The capital of the Jian Chi State.
Above the court, all the Martial Kings had extremely solemn expressions,
"Your Majesty, clearly it's not yet the time for the Chong Yuan to appear, yet it has already appeared within our borders; I don't know whether this is a blessing or a disaster!"
The ruler of the Jian Chi State had a face as still as water, making it hard to discern his thoughts.
After a moment of silence, he lightly tapped his two fingers on the armrest of the throne,
"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it cannot be avoided!"
The sound from his mouth seemed to carry great infectious power; as soon as it spoke, it considerably calmed everyone's worried mood.
"The neighboring countries have not yet detected any movement in Chong Yuan; since Chong Yuan has appeared early within our borders, this is absolutely an excellent opportunity for us!"
"Each Chong Yuan entrance can accommodate only a limited number of people."
"But as long as one comes within a certain range of Chong Yuan, they will be forcibly sucked in by its terrifying attraction."
"If there is even a slight delay, the Chong Yuan entrance will likely be sealed!"
"Convey my decree: all Martial Kings within the country shall go to where Chong Yuan is and enter it!"
"When the monarch of Jian Chi State finished speaking, all the strong present felt a jolt in their hearts!"
"Your Majesty, mobilizing the nation's full strength to enter Chong Yuan—wouldn't that be too risky?"
"Once the news that the Martial Emperor and all Martial Kings have entered Chong Yuan spreads to the ears of neighboring countries,"
"Jian Chi State will likely immediately become the target of everyone's criticism!"
"By then, even if they manage to return alive, Jian Chi State will probably already have become the territory of other countries!"
"If one wants to be the ruler rather than be ruled by others, they must be willing to go all out!"
"The monarch of Jian Chi State said in a deep voice,"
"The appearance of Chong Yuan is an opportunity given to us by heaven!"
"My resolve is firm; all Martial Kings shall immediately go to Chong Yuan, and if Martial Venerables wish to go to Chong Yuan, they may also rush there!"
"As for those below Martial Venerable, if they are too far away, even if they rush over, the Chong Yuan entrance will likely already be closed."
"These people are also not within the consideration of the Jian Chi State monarch."
"In an instant, all the strong in the capital city flew toward the direction of Chong Yuan."
"As for Gu Han and Little Wolf, after a spell of dizzying, nauseating sensation,"
"they finally arrived in a completely unfamiliar world."
"This world is almost plunged into darkness; only faintly can one see the far eastern horizon, where there seems to be a pale fish‑belly white."
"Moreover, the surroundings are filled with a strong aura of death!"
"But Gu Han felt that this was not the breath of the dead, but an aura that could make people become frenzied!"
"Yet on Gu Han's body there seemed to be an invisible barrier that kept these deathly energies at bay."
""We still don't know the situation here; let's first head toward the direction of the light.""
