Chapter 401 The Mystery Underground
Meanwhile, in a secluded mountain valley ten kilometers away from Jingkong City.
Liu Ruyan was sitting quietly cross-legged.
Although she was in this place, with her extraordinary level of perception, she could still vaguely catch the terrifying, thunderous sounds coming from the direction of the black city in the distance.
The earth-shattering explosion and the devastating energy fluctuations all indicated the fierce battle taking place over there.
However, at some point, the commotion gradually subsided.
Ultimately, it disappeared completely.
The entire world returned to a deathly silence.
Liu Ruyan's heart jumped into her throat instantly!
has it ended?
So... who really won?
An indescribable panic, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed her.
She dared not think any further.
She could only pray silently in her heart, over and over again.
Lin Qiye...
You will... be alright...
It definitely will...
Not far from her, the three women whose will to the abyss had been destroyed huddled in a corner, exchanging glances.
In their eyes, there was an undisguised glimmer of... expectation and hope.
In their eyes, although the intruder was as powerful as a demon god, their high priest was omnipotent!
They are invincible!
As long as she is in Jingkong City, she is immortal!
The invader's ultimate fate will inevitably be to have his power completely exhausted by the High Priest, and then... become new nourishment for this city!
Just then—
call--!!!
A gentle breeze, without warning, swept through the mountain valley.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure appeared silently before everyone, like a ghost!
"what!"
This sudden turn of events startled everyone!
Liu Ruyan suddenly stood up from the ground. When she saw the face so close to hers, all her worries and fears instantly turned into a nameless joy, and... a hint of coquettishness that she herself did not even realize.
"you……"
She was about to speak when she realized she didn't know what to say.
The three Abyss human women's expressions of anticipation and hope froze the moment they saw that nightmarish figure reappear!
Instead, there was pure, deep-seated fear and despair!
he……
He actually... came back?!
And... completely unharmed?!
This……
How is this possible?!
Where is the High Priest?!
Their last and only faith was utterly crushed at that moment.
Lin Qiye ignored the three women who were already terrified.
His gaze fell on Liu Ruyan.
"Walk."
Lin Qiye's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"I need your help."
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Liu Ruyan instantly banished the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
She didn't even ask where she was going or what help she was going to give, and nodded without hesitation.
"it is good."
The fact that the man before them had returned unharmed meant that the earth-shattering battle was over.
And the victor, without a doubt, was him.
As for the three women who had already lost their souls, they still clung to a last shred of unrealistic fantasy.
He... he definitely didn't go to Jingkong City...
Something must have happened along the way, so they came back...
Otherwise, how could... how could they have come back so quickly?
The high priest... is immortal...
However, their last glimmer of hope was quickly shattered by the hellish scene before them.
When they were dragged back to the familiar black city by Lin Qiye's shadowy tentacles, they were all completely dumbfounded.
The once heavily guarded and menacing city walls were now a scene of utter devastation.
Thousands upon thousands of armored soldiers collapsed to the ground like harvested wheat, their mouths and noses still bearing dried blood, uttering unconscious groans of pain.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and despair.
When their gazes fell upon the black tower in the center of the city, which once symbolized the supreme authority of Jingkong City, they all gasped in shock, their pretty faces turning ashen!
The once majestic tower that pierced the sky like a sharp sword is now in ruins!
The entire top of the tower was forcibly shaved off in half by an unparalleled and terrifying force!
Countless rubble and broken walls rained down from the sky, leaving the spacious square below in a complete mess!
They just stared blankly at the apocalyptic scene before them, their minds blank, filled only with the purest, incomprehensible...horror!
Where is the high priest? ...
What about the omnipotent, god-like high priest in their hearts?
No way...
We walked from the city wall all the way to the foot of the tower.
Wherever they went, they found their familiar companions everywhere.
Now he lies scattered on the cold ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, unconscious.
When they saw the extraordinary warrior at the entrance of the tower, also covered in blood and lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
Their bodies trembled violently and uncontrollably, their eyes filled with extreme terror and horror.
High Priest...
Have they really lost?
Do not……
impossible……
The high priest is immortal!
She just...she just...
Unable to defeat the mysterious and powerful man before them, they were temporarily... forced to flee!
Yes! That must be it!
They frantically searched for excuses in their minds, trying to maintain their already crumbling beliefs.
However, no matter how they tried to comfort themselves, the deep-seated fear remained, like a persistent carbuncle, impossible to eradicate.
Soon, Lin Qiye took them to the dark and damp prison.
When Lu Lingxin, Lu Lingya, and Zhan Mingna saw Lin Qiye reappear unharmed, their eyes lit up instantly!
"grown ups!"
They exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with undisguised joy and excitement.
When Liu Ruyan saw the undisguised excitement and admiration in the eyes of the three women looking at Lin Qiye, a faint sense of jealousy inexplicably rose in her heart.
Haha, men!
However, she immediately extinguished the thought as soon as it popped into her head.
Now is not the time to think about these things!
Just then, Lin Qiye turned his head and looked at Liu Ruyan.
"Ruyan," his voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable trust, "this Jamina, she says she knows where the rift is."
"Furthermore, I discovered that many things here are not right."
"Right now, you're the person I trust most, so I need your help here."
"Ruyan, I need you to integrate all the forces here as quickly as possible and completely control this city."
"And I went to explore the surrounding area."
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, the slight jealousy that had just arisen in Liu Ruyan's heart vanished instantly.
Instead, there was an indescribable sweetness and... a sense of responsibility.
Looking into Lin Qiye's deep eyes, seeing the undisguised trust and reliance within them, she felt a warmth in her heart and nodded solemnly.
Her gaze sharpened and fell on Jamina.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye gently patted Liu Ruyan's shoulder, his tone encouraging.
"I'm leaving this place to you."
"I still want to explore this city."
After saying that, he turned his head and indifferently glanced at Lu Lingxin, Lu Lingya and her sister, as well as Zhan Mingna.
"From this moment forward," his voice was icy and devoid of any emotion, "Liu Ruyan will represent me in full authority."
"You must fully cooperate with her."
Although, to varying degrees, all three women felt a pang of jealousy towards Liu Ruyan.
But faced with Lin Qiye's unquestionable command, how could they dare to have the slightest thought of disobeying?
They quickly lowered their proud heads and respectfully replied, "Yes, sir!"
When they looked up again, the god-like figure had already vanished.
Only a faint aura of dominance remained, still slowly flowing in the air, silently proclaiming his presence.
As Lin Qiye left, Liu Ruyan slowly walked up to the three women. Her usually cold eyes were sharp as knives, full of scrutiny and authority.
She has transformed back into the "Empress of the Galaxy Martial Arts University".
"I am Liu Ruyan."
Her voice was clear and crisp, devoid of any emotion.
"Please introduce yourselves..."
……
For Lin Qiye, integrating and controlling the entire city was far too complicated.
He prefers to solve problems in the most direct and violent way.
As for Liu Ruyan, since she can be hailed as the "Empress of the Galaxy Martial Arts University," she is also able to organize a huge force within the school.
Presumably, her abilities in this area far surpass mine.
No matter what, in this unfamiliar abyss, Liu Ruyan is currently the person he trusts the most.
By leaving things here to her, I can free up my hands to investigate this strange city.
Lin Qiye's figure reappeared like a ghost on the once-deadly square.
He ignored the soldiers who were lying on the ground, unconscious.
His mental power, like an invisible tide, instantly spread out from him to the entire Jingkong City!
As his mental power continued to extend, clear images appeared in his mind.
Streets, houses, squares, training grounds...
The entire structure of the city became crystal clear in his perception, leaving no part of it hidden!
However, as the investigation deepened, Lin Qiye's brows furrowed even more.
The entire Jingkong City was populated by women as soldiers.
The elderly people and children hiding in the house were all women!
There wasn't a single man among them!
This eerie sight filled Lin Qiye with a strong sense of unease.
What exactly is going on with this city?
How did they manage to thrive and multiply in this cruel abyss?
Just then, Lin Qiye's eyes suddenly narrowed!
His mental power keenly detected a slight anomaly.
In the heart of the city, beneath a building that looks like a hospital, there exists... a tiny, extremely faint life force!
Why hide it like this?
has a problem!
Lin Qiye's figure flashed and appeared silently in front of the hospital building.
The hospital doors were tightly closed, and the interior was a mess that could be seen from the windows.
The previous battle must have scared everyone away.
However, Lin Qiye's powerful mental energy could clearly sense that beneath this chaotic appearance, deep underground, a faint pulse of life was hidden.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped inside.
Inside the hospital, the air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.
Lin Qiye's gaze calmly swept across the empty hall, finally settling on the narrow staircase leading underground.
He descended the steps, his footsteps echoing clearly in the deathly silent underground space.
As they continued to delve deeper, after dealing with several groups of soldiers, Lin Qiye finally arrived at the bottom of the basement.
A heavy iron gate made of black metal blocked his way.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qiye reached out and gently tore open the incredibly sturdy iron door!
"Sizzle—!!!!"
A sickening metallic tearing sound rang out!
The heavy iron door was torn in two as easily as a piece of paper!
Behind the door was a spacious yet empty room.
Under the soft light, several women dressed in white robes, who looked like medical staff, stood in front of him with terrified expressions.
Behind them, either sitting or standing, was a group of pregnant women with equally terrified expressions!
They were all sporting prominently protruding bellies...
