Chapter 110 Crossing the Cold River

The entire black cloud, all the strange creatures of the Wu Yu clan, were frozen in place, unable to move.

A gentle breeze swept past, and the black cloud above the Cold River was lightly dispersed.

The black cloud dissipated, revealing what was originally hidden within the dense darkness... a massive mountain peak!

This floating mountain hovered directly above the entire Cold River.

This was the truth of the black cloud! This was the truly terrifying existence within it!

And on the Black Mountain, clinging tightly to its surface, were countless human bone kites.

Each human bone kite represented a single strange creature of the Wu Yu clan!

The massive number of Wu Yu clan creatures clung densely to the Black Mountain, as if parasitizing it.

A special Black Mountain entirely covered in human bone kites, if placed outside, even a Yu-level (Rain-level) expert would avoid it.

But at this moment, this mountain containing five Yu-level strange creatures, one Mo-level (Demon-level) strange creature, and a vast number of lower-level strange creatures, was rendered motionless by the Cold River's intimidation.

Just then, a black bird spread its wings on the Black Mountain, flew off, and landed on the surface of the Cold River below.

Its claws touched the water, and the black bird, its obsidian eyes fixed on the river below, said with a smile, "Mo Qing, let us pass."

Glug, glug!

Almost the instant Hei Qinggui (Black Green Ghoul)'s words fell, the entire surface of the Cold River surged violently, forming a massive vortex centered on the black bird incarnation of Hei Qinggui.

The vortex spun fiercely, drawing away the surrounding river water and creating a vacuum beneath Hei Qinggui.

Beneath the vortex was a vast, dark abyss thousands of meters deep.

This vortex eye was so strange that even looking at it with the naked eye caused a feeling of unease, as if one were about to be sucked into the vortex and become nourishment for the Cold River.

At this moment, the Wu Yu clan truly felt the terror of Hei Qinggui.

Both the vortex eye of the Cold River and Hei Qinggui on the Cold River emanated a chilling, terrifying aura.

The two auras seemed to clash and oppose each other.

Everyone held their breath, knowing that the outcome of their confrontation would determine the fate of the entire Wu Yu clan!

"We shouldn't have listened to Hei Qinggui and tried to cross the Cold River! He planned this all along!"

Suddenly, a powerful aura rose from the sky. It was the aura of the Wu Yu clan's king!

But Hei Qinggui quickly said, "Don't interfere, I can handle this."

The Wu Yu clan's king's expression darkened upon hearing this.

To be honest, he wasn't even sure if he could join the battle below.

Because as a newcomer to the Mo realm, he didn't fully understand his own strength.

If Hei Qinggui could handle it, he wouldn't have to risk intervening.

While everyone waited, Hei Qinggui suddenly spat out a black pearl from its beak.

As the pearl fell into the vortex eye, the turbulent river surface gradually calmed down, the vortex slowly dissipated, and the terrifying pressure that had enveloped the entire Wu Yu clan vanished without a trace.

"It's settled."

There was a hint of exhaustion in Hei Qinggui's voice.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The human bone kites once again condensed black clouds, shrouding the entire Black Mountain.

Hei Qinggui then flew back to the Black Mountain.

"That thing below... agreed to let us cross the Cold River?"

"It's not exactly an agreement."

Hei Qinggui smiled and said, "Do you remember the pearl I threw down just now?"

"I remember, it was the remaining pearl after your seal was broken in the Black Green Mountains."

"That's right, that thing belongs to Mo Qing. By allowing the thing below to sense Mo Qing's aura, it will let us pass."

"Mo Qing? What kind of strange creature is he? I don't remember him."

"Strange creature? No, to be precise, he was a mortal who attempted to surpass the immortals, and... he succeeded, in a way that no one could have imagined."

As Hei Qinggui spoke, it touched its right wing, where the seal that had pierced it and locked it firmly in the Black Green Mountains had been.

The seal was now broken, but the mark remained.

The Wu Yu clan's king frowned.

"It's that thing below?"

"It? It could be Mo Qing, or it could not be Mo Qing."

"What do you mean?"

"The thing below is just a part of Mo Qing."

"A part..."

The Wu Yu clan's king suddenly seemed to remember something, and his face turned horrified. His eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open.

"Could it be... could Mo Qing's true form be..."

"I didn't say anything."

Hei Qinggui smiled slightly.

"Besides, our current goal isn't to find Mo Qing's whereabouts. That's something I'll do later. I still have a score to settle with him."

The Wu Yu clan's king took a deep look at Hei Qinggui, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said nothing more.

The massive, dense black cloud set off again, crossing the Cold River in a straight line towards the capital.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line!

Crossing the Cold River meant that their arrival in the capital would be greatly accelerated.

...

The capital, Penglin district.

This was the area most severely ravaged by the Black Moon organization.

All of the Black Moon organization's core forces were concentrated here.

This made the fighting here exceptionally fierce, and the casualties were the most severe.

However, the ones fighting on the front lines were not the Qing Si (Azure Guard) that people were familiar with, but rather... [Lan Shan]'s Lan Wei (Blue Guard)!

It wasn't that [Lan Shan]'s people were particularly eager, but rather that the Penglin district was the Lan Wei's territory.

The Fifth Princess's goal was to assassinate the Fourth Prince, and to achieve this, she needed to mobilize all four departments of the government, so they would have no time or energy to deal with other matters.

Among them, [Lan Shan] was the most important, because [Lan Shan]'s headquarters was relatively close to the location of the attack, and they needed to tie up as many of their forces as possible.

Therefore, the Moon Lord of the Black Moon organization had personally appeared here to wreak havoc.

"Moon Lord, you have nowhere to escape!"

"Surrender! Reveal the mastermind behind you, and the rest of you might have a chance to live!"

In addition to Lan Shan's Lan Wei, there were also some members of the Red Department among them.

They surrounded the remaining members of the Black Moon organization, shouting loudly, trying to persuade them to surrender.

The battle here was nearing its end. Only a dozen or so Black Moon organization elders, including the Moon Lord, were still alive in the entire area.

Therefore, they wanted to extract useful information and avoid unnecessary casualties.

But the Black Moon organization's belief was so firm.

And their strength was so great.

"The sin of Black Moon descends here! Beneath the Heavenly Devourer, all are equal!"

The Moon Lord shouted the doctrine loudly, and the surrounding elders followed suit, then exploded in a series of pops, turning into blood mist.

The splattered blood mist was drawn back by the Moon Lord as if time were flowing in reverse, and absorbed into his body.

Having absorbed the vast blood mist, the Moon Lord's aura rose wildly, and black blood flowed from his eyes.

He was transforming, he was... turning into a strange creature!
