Chapter 1236: Chapter 529: He... has returned!_2

Ji Wuyun continued to be silent.

"Of what use is recording it in a book? Hey, if you give me a hundred thousand taels, I’ll remember you for my entire life." Qi Yuan said at this moment, "That’s far more useful than writing in a book."

The Thornblood staff laughed, "Even after countless ages, epochs, the ’Green Mountain Book’ will still exist, Brother Kitchen Knife, but even if you are a kitchen knife, I’m afraid it would have rusted and decayed long ago."

Ji Wuyun also felt that Qi Yuan was talking nonsense.

To be remembered by a person... What use is that?

...

"So you’re saying... the game’s background setting, and even the ending, are all written already?"

After leaving the Divine Wood Order, Qi Yuan’s thoughts were complex.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"The future of the Immortal Realm Sixth Layer Heaven does not exist; it has been severed by a single sword.

So... What if the future of the Immortal Realm hadn’t been severed?"

A terrifying thought and speculation suddenly surged in Qi Yuan’s heart.

Is a future that can be seen still a future?

"Don’t think about it anymore; thinking any more will make your head grow."

"Ninety percent of the troubles in this world come from overthinking."

"I’m just playing a game."

"It is just a game after all."

Having realized this, Qi Yuan no longer indulged in wild thoughts.

He sat on a lounge chair, intently watching the Forging Technique left by that Divine Grade Soldier Commander.

Before he went blind, he had to urgently improve his Artificer level.

After going blind, it would be very difficult to progress.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when suddenly, Qi Yuan opened his eyes, his pupils shining with a hint of joy: "The Blood Cloud Bandits’... headquarters... I finally know the exact location."

Not only that, but his drone had also scouted out the positions of the other bases.

"It seems I need to take a trip."

...

Two hours later, inside the Judgment stronghold.

Liu Chudong looked anxious, "Where is Big Brother Qi?"

Chen Kangbao, with his head lowered, was eating a steamed bun, "Young Master said he went out to handle a private matter; he will return in a day if it’s fast, or in three if it’s slow."

"He left?" Hearing this, Liu Chudong felt somewhat disappointed, "Why did he leave at this time?"

"Is there something urgent?" Chen Kangbao curiously asked.

"A Judgment Assembly Elder happened to pass by us, and I was thinking of taking him to see the world, what a pity..." Liu Chudong spoke, with a hint of disappointment.

It wasn’t just about showing him the world; rather, that Elder brought the latest news.

About Shen Lin!

According to the Elder, Shen Lin might be dead, but fragments remained.

In the faraway Ning Country, Shen Lin had left behind divine traces.

Big Brother Qi came from Ning Country; maybe he knew something, she planned to bring Qi Yuan to meet that Elder from the Judgment Assembly.

"Can we get in touch?" Liu Chudong asked with anticipation.

That Elder from the Judgment Assembly was expected to stay here for only half a day and likely would leave the following morning.

Chen Kangbao shook his head, "No way."

The disappointment in Liu Chudong’s eyes deepened, "If Big Brother Qi returns, tell him to find me quickly."

After speaking, Liu Chudong left with disappointment.

As night fell, the mountains and rivers were pitch black, with only a scatter of stars sparingly sprinkling their light from the heavens.

Yet even so, it was still so dark on the entire mountain that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

Outside the Blood Cloud Stronghold, torches burned, and thick smoke billowed.

Various plants were tied to the torches, emitting a pungent burning smell and black smoke when burning, driving away mosquitoes, but even so, the mosquitoes here were exceedingly numerous.

Inside the stronghold, sounds of drinking, laughter, and the crying of women came out, sounding particularly eerie.

Those bandits guarding the gate lusted after the lascivious noises.

"Damn it, a bunch of new sheep came in today, and we’re the ones stuck guarding the gate," a bandit couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

"Heh, not interested in this batch; I heard they’re prostitutes from the military, all played out by those bastards, Qiu Ba; boring," another bandit said.

"Ha, I love those ridden by thousands; wait..." Suddenly, the squinty-eyed bandit squinted and perked up his ears, "Did you guys hear that?"

"You must be crazy from missing women," another bandit teased.

"No!" The squinty-eyed bandit’s heart began to race.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

The sounds grew closer, like the footsteps of some giant creature.

The bandits guarding the gate felt the ground tremble, as if the earth itself was shaking.

Suddenly, the squinty-eyed bandit looked up to the sky.

"Ah!"

Terrified, he fell on his butt.

"Ghosts!"

"Monsters!"

He was panic-stricken, struggling to retreat backward.

The other bandits at this moment also looked up to the heavens, their faces turning ashen.

"Monsters!"

All the bandits who looked at the sky were horrified.

They could make out the outline of a massive creature through the faint starlight.

Blood-red armor, blood-red crystal armor scales ordered meticulously, radiating dangerous light.

Barbed crystal cones, sharply exposed, reflecting bits of starlight.

The full body covered in red armor, concealing everything, with only the revealed eyes appearing so indifferent, so bloody.

Those cold eyes couldn’t possibly belong to a human!

They belonged to a dragon, to a god.

The terrifying creature looked down at the Blood Cloud Stronghold.

Any bandit caught in the gaze of those eyes felt their spirit terrified.

"Monsters!"

"Monsters!"

Those bandits, how could they dare to fight back? Wailing, they fled deep into the stronghold.

The monstrous creature, a hundred meters tall, stood outside the stronghold, silent and motionless, quietly observing everything.

The stronghold was plunged into chaos, with disorder spreading inward, and fallen torches igniting some of the thatched huts.

After around a few dozen breaths of time, curses came from deep within the stronghold.
