Chapter 621: Chapter 611: Undying Mountain, Luo Qingchuan!

North Domain, Undying Mountain!

Above the Undying Mountain, within an area of hundreds of miles, it had been unknown for how many years since warm and pleasant sunlight last touched this land. It was perpetually shrouded in rolling dark clouds and chill winds, which howled through the heavens and earth, casting the entire area into deep oppressive Yin Qi!

Those who entered the Undying Mountain region all shared the same sensation: gloomy, dead silent, and damp!

In the heart of the Undying Mountain, common animals and plants typically seen in regular forests were nowhere to be found. Perhaps influenced by the gloomy and silent aura of the mountain itself, the animals and plants here had all mutated.

Trees grew grotesquely, akin to evil spirits, and every animal, demon beast, looked ferociously hideous! Moreover, they emanated a sinister aura of death, as if these animals and demon beasts had died and transformed into Yin Corpses.

These living beings, it seemed, affected by the influence of Undying Mountain, had completely merged with the mountain!

Regarding the legends of the Undying Mountain, there were myriad speculations from the outside world, but no one could clearly say what exactly existed within the Undying Mountain.

Perhaps only the Luo Family, who had lived and guarded the Undying Mountain for generations, knew the truth.

The Luo Family had guarded the Undying Mountain for so many generations and years that the people of the Tianheng Continent had lost track. Whenever Undying Mountain was mentioned, people promptly thought of the Luo Family, and naturally, they thought of the current Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Qingchuan!

What previous generations of Luo Family Patriarchs were called, very few people knew, but Luo Qingchuan was a name known to everyone—because he was a disciple of Emperor Nine Nether of the Netherworld, who had been the strongest person on the Tianheng Continent!

Recently, the Luo Family had sealed off the Undying Mountain, forbidding anyone from approaching. The outside world speculated wildly about what might be happening at Undying Mountain.

Indeed, many had sensed that recently, the Undying Mountain was restless, occasionally emitting fluctuations, as if the mountain frequently experienced earthquakes!

In a secret area of the Undying Mountain, this locale appeared to be a deep valley surrounded by dense black fog, moving violently, obscuring the true scene below.

Chill winds blew incessantly and the Yin Qi of this land was extraordinarily dense.

Above this secret area floated numerous figures, men and women, old and young, around several thousand people, each one with a solemn expression, hands forming Handprints. These people were the Luo Family Members, guardians of the Undying Mountain through the ages.

Mysterious and ancient Runes, each unique in color, burst forth from the Handprints of these Luo Family Members like falling blossoms, descending towards the valley below.

In the center of the crowd stood a man dressed in a purple robe, his features handsome and his presence the most formidable among the thousands. The Rune that emanated from his hand was chillingly white in color.

This man was the current Luo Family Patriarch, disciple of Emperor Nine Nether of the Netherworld, Luo Qingchuan.

Luo Qingchuan, just like every other Luo Family member, wore a look of grave concern, gazing downward at the swirling black fog!

Then, Luo Qingchuan murmured softly, "Could it be that the seal my Luo Family has guarded for generations will be broken during my time?"

"Qingchuan!" From the crowd, a white figure cut through the air and, in a blink, halted beside Luo Qingchuan, both gazing downward together. The newcomer spoke in a deep voice, "It seems it won’t be long before that Evil Object breaks through the seal laid by our ancestors!"

The newcomer was an elder dressed in a spacious robe, with white hair yet a youthful face. This person was the Luo Family’s Great Elder, Luo Yuekun!

Listening to Luo Yuekun’s words, Luo Qingchuan also spoke in a deep voice, "The sealing array core is below us, and standing here it seems we cannot repair this seal. At this point, it appears we must plunge into the depths to mend the array core!"

"Indeed, that is what we should do!" Luo Yuekun nodded after hearing Luo Qingchuan’s words and then added, "Now, I will take the family’s strongest members and go down first to explore!"

"Be careful!" Luo Qingchuan warned solemnly. After so many years, beneath this black fog, other than knowing the existence of the sealing array core that seals a unique evil object,

what else lay below, what other dangers might exist, remained completely unknown to the members of the Luo Family.

That is a completely unknown world!

Luo Yuekun’s expression remained grave as he nodded at Luo Qingchuan, then selected fifty powerful members of the Luo Family and charged into the rolling black mist below.

..

Tianlan Empire, Tianlan Imperial City!

After enjoying a hearty drink with Shi Jinsuai and Xue Wuheng, late at night, in the chamber of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building where Shi Feng was staying, a visitor arrived looking for Shi Feng!

It was a blurry black shadow, calling itself Black Shadow!

"My master invites you to visit the Imperial Palace!" the black shadow spoke to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng had been sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating, but the arrival of the black shadow interrupted him, though his posture remained seated on the bed. Looking at the black shadow, whose Martial Saint Realm was inexplicably at the Two-star level, and whose master was in the palace...

Sensing that the black shadow harbored no murderous intent or malice, Shi Feng spoke, "Your master? Is it the Emperor of the Tianlan Empire?"

"Exactly!" The black shadow answered without any hesitation.

"Let’s go!" With a swift movement, Shi Feng flashed from the bed to the ground of the room and said to the shadow.

"After you!" Then, the shadow moved as well, flashing towards the window and drifting out from it.

Seeing the black shadow leave, Shi Feng quickly followed, rushing to the window and soaring into the night sky.

Despite it being late at night, the streets of Tianlan Imperial City were still bustling with crowds and lively activity.

However, Shi Feng naturally wasn’t interested in these sights; he followed the shadow ahead, flying towards the Imperial Palace.

..

At the pinnacle of the Imperial Palace, that golden figure still stood proudly, head raised, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, though his face betrayed a deeply troubled expression.

Then, sensing something, Lann Yuan lowered his head and looked in the direction where a blurry black shadow was flying towards him, followed by a young man in a black robe.

"He has arrived!" Looking at the young man, Lann Yuan spoke. Lann Yuan’s harem was filled with countless beauties, and usually, he required the attendance of ten women at night to feel exhilarated, but this deep night, he remained here, not favoring those beauties, waiting for this young man’s arrival, as this moment profoundly concerned the future of the Tianlan Empire!
