Chapter 496: Let"s continue our search

When Fang ping was still digging underground, it was already dawn.

A day had pa.s.sed.

In the short span of a day, the Tiannan catacombs had undergone a tremendous change.

The 11 imperial cities had stood tall for thousands of years.

The battle two years ago did not affect Rose City. This time, Rose City was reduced to ashes in less than a day.

……

In the sky above the ruined Rose City.

An expert wearing a crown stared at the commander who was kneeling in front of him.

"You said that the giant horned beast did this?" the crowned champion asked coldly after a long while.

"King, this subordinate believes that the thieves who sneaked into the Kuangqu of life must be related to the giant horned beast! If it wasn"t for the giant horned beast"s attack, I wouldn"t have left the Kuangqu of life ..."

"d.a.m.n it!"

"You"re courting death!" The Crown Prince shouted angrily and sent commander Qing Lan flying hundreds of meters away with a palm strike.

When commander Qing Lan flew back and knelt down again, the crowned elite shouted angrily,""Who allowed you to leave the Kuangqu of life on your own!"

The Rose King was furious!

If commander Qing Lan hadn"t left his post without permission, the thieves might not have been able to sneak into the Kuangqu.

He had already checked. Although the Kuangqu had been destroyed by the explosion, some of the remaining imprints told him that the thieves who had infiltrated the mine were not very strong.

He might only be at Level Seven!

If that was the case, the other party might not be able to destroy the Kuangqu if commander Qing Lan did not leave.

He glanced at commander Qing Lan coldly. If Rose City had not been destroyed and all the commanders had not been killed, he would have killed him with one palm!

The Rose King looked around and suddenly felt a little sad.

In the huge Rose City, other than him and The Guardian G.o.d, there was only one supremacy and two rank-7 chieftains left.

This was still because they had left quickly, so there were still 3 rank-7 and 8 people left.

As for the other cities, the rank-7 and rank-8 powerhouses from before had not left. In some cities, the rank-7 and rank-8 powerhouses had been completely annihilated this time.

As for the tens of thousands of guards and countless citizens, they had all been wiped out.

"Now, there are only some survivors crying and groaning in the broken city left. Among the survivors, there are only five rank-6 battle-generals.

The capital was really finished.

The life mineral vein was gone!

His subjects were gone!

Even the commanders and supremacies that he had nurtured over the years were few and far between.

In this battle, he and the tutelary had also suffered heavy injuries. Looking to the South, the powerhouses of the land of rebirth had yet to retreat, and the Forbidden Zone"s order was to fight to the death with the other party ... Could it be that he still had to continue to fight to the death?

What was the point of fighting to the death now?

Previously, it was because the royal city was here. The royal city was the road of death for him and The Guardian G.o.d. He had to fight, even if he didn"t want to.

But now ...

The Rose King looked to the West and suddenly said,"Gather all the battle generals!"

The only Supreme realm cultivator at the side did not say much. Very quickly, he flew into the broken city to gather everyone.

A moment later, 5 rank-6 powerhouses flew over carefully.

Rose City had close to a hundred rank-6 powerhouses, but at this moment, only these few were left.

After a while, a huge rose swayed in the air.

The Rose King looked at The Guardian G.o.d. After a long while, she said in a deep voice,""The capital has been destroyed. Qing Yu, our path ... Is cut off."

On the Rose, the spiritual energy fluctuations were intense.

A human face could be vaguely seen on the branch, but it was not very clear.

When the Rose King saw this, he said with a bleak expression,""You"ve cut off your path to becoming a true king. Green jade, you won"t be able to take form again in this lifetime. You and I have been together for 200 j.a.pan. When I built the city, I promised to help you take form so that you can walk freely in this world ... But now ..."

The Rose King sighed once more. After a moment, she said,"I want to go to the realm and seize the last opportunity to step into the true king realm! However, Three Kings have gone to the Forbidden Zone, and experts from the land of rebirth have also gone there ... Green jade, do you want to risk it this time?"

The Rose trembled. The Rose King"s eyes were cold as he said,"True Kings can"t enter the realm and are in danger of dying. Unless it"s absolutely necessary, these people won"t trespa.s.s the realm. As long as I step into the true king realm in the realm, I don"t have to worry about them!"

The Rose Spirit energy began to fluctuate violently. The Rose King said in a deep voice,""This King has already decided! Green jade, this King needs your help this once!"

This time, the "rose" no longer had any fluctuations in her spiritual power.

"You stay here and help me attract the attention of others, including the true Kings at Mount Royal sea ... I"ll bring the others to the realm. As long as the true Kings and King realm experts pay attention to you, they won"t be able to discover my whereabouts from such a distance."

"When this King becomes a true king, I"ll definitely help you materialize!"

The Rose trembled slightly for a moment, and after a long time, a wave of spiritual power spread out.

The Rose King"s face revealed a smile, but it quickly turned cold. She turned to look at the others and said in a low voice,""The few of you, follow this King to the realm!"

"The king ..."

The only Supreme realm cultivator looked worried and said in a low voice,""The world is filled with danger, and we have no way of entering the sealed world ..."

The Rose King replied coldly,"do you think that I"ve not made any preparations for this in the past few years? This King naturally has a way to cross the Sealed Realm! I"ve only brought you along just in case. You"ll help this King Block some unnecessary trouble!"

"Yes, sir!"

The few of them did not dare to say anything more and lowered their heads.

The Rose King did not say anything else and looked into the distance. Now that things had come to this, he could only take a gamble.

After thinking for a while, he turned to the Rose and said,""Green jade, give me the spring of life. If there"s a chance to cross the border, you can help me!"

The Rose didn"t say much. Soon, a transparent door opened in the trunk.

Within the door, the essence of life was like spring water, constantly churning.

At the side, the powerhouses of Rose City watched with envy.

The spring of life could only be condensed by monster plants, and monster plants of average strength could not do it. Rank-7 and 8 monster plants could actually do it too, but rank-7 and 8 monster plants were all in the cultivation period and did not have giant mines. There were not many that could condense it, and in fact, they would not condense it.

These rank-7 and 8 monster plants absorbed energy for their own cultivation.

"It"s only when they reach rank-9 that these monster plants have no future. They don"t need much energy, so they"ll acc.u.mulate so much energy and condense life essence in preparation for the future.

The spring of life floated out from the Rose branch. The Rose King did not delay. Her spiritual power burst out and quickly began to compress and wrap around the life essence.

A moment later, the life essence was condensed into a green ball the size of a human head.

The Rose king"s mouth suddenly opened wide and swallowed the ball in one gulp, storing the life essence in its body.

This was what Rose City had acc.u.mulated over the past 200 years, and it was also the last thing of value in Rose City today.

After swallowing the life essence, the Rose King did not absorb and digest it. At this moment, even if he absorbed it, it would not be of much use to him. He could only hope to use it when he was breaking through to the next realm.

As for himself, although he had yet to reach the highest stage of rank-9, as long as he found the path of a true king, these small strongholds were not considered a big obstacle.

The life essence would be enough for him to break through quickly.

After doing all this, the Rose King took another look at Rose City and then at the boundary region thousands of miles away.

Originally, unless it was a dead end, these people would not want to go to the realm.

But this time, he had no choice but to go.

Even if it was dangerous, as long as he entered the true king realm, he would no longer have to listen to the Forbidden Zone"s orders and fight to the death with the powerhouses of the land of rebirth.

After losing several King level ent.i.ties, the Rose King was also afraid.

He didn"t want to continue!

If the Forbidden Zone wanted to enter the land of rebirth, they would have to do it themselves. Even if they really entered the land of rebirth and found the seed of rebirth, what could they do?

They were still at the Forbidden Zone"s command!

Only by stepping into the true king realm could he control his own fate.

The Rose King glanced at the Rose and did not say anything else. He landed on the ground, and the other powerhouses followed suit.

The Rose King did not say a word. Even though she did not use the flight step, she was still moving at an extremely fast speed as she headed towards the West.

As soon as he left, the Rose that was left behind exploded with a powerful spiritual pressure. Its branches whipped the void, causing the void to crack and the earth to crack.

……

In the distance, the attention of the other rank-9 powerhouses in the catacombs was attracted one after another.

Someone couldn"t help but curse in a low voice. He had gone crazy again!

Rose City had been destroyed, and the two kings of Rose City had gone completely crazy.

He didn"t know how long these days would last.

Now, if they were to count on these two guys to continue fighting with the powerhouses from the land of rebirth, they had to be careful that these two guys would go crazy at any time and attack their own people, let alone whether they would make a move.

When that time came, it would be better to not let them fight.

Other than these two, there were only 15 rank-9s left in the southern eleven territories.

As for demon feather city where he was, he didn"t come. He didn"t come either. Previously, he had escaped, but now he was hiding in the Kuangqu of life. He wouldn"t come no matter what, and the orders of the true king were useless.

There were only 13 people left.

Of the four cities of monster life clan, two city Lords and two Guardian beasts had died.

There was only one rank-9 left in one city. He was probably not in the mood to fight now. The reason why they had gathered was probably because they had no other choice.

In this way, there were even fewer rank-9s who could fight.

Looking at the resuscitation pa.s.sage from afar, the aura was magnificent. After a long time, someone said in a low voice,""Everyone, what should we do next?"

"Wait!" Someone slowly said.

"Wait?"

"Let"s wait for those from the Forbidden Zone to return. Otherwise ... I don"t want to die. It"s not easy to cultivate to our level!"

"We can wait, but will the people from the land of rebirth wait?"

“……”

Everyone was silent. After a long while, someone said,""Let"s not split up in case we"re defeated one by one. As long as we stay together, the people from the land of rebirth won"t dare to take the risk to fight us to the death."

"That"s right. Once the Forbidden Zone takes action, the other zones will take the initiative to attack and put pressure on the land of rebirth. The southern eleven zones won"t have so many King realm experts gathering."

"Then we"ll wait."

"What about the Rose King and the rest?"

"Ignore them. If they hadn"t left, we wouldn"t have ended up in this situation."

“……”

The king realm experts discussed for a while, and soon, more than ten King realm experts began to retreat to a city behind Rose City.

……

At this moment, Fang ping was still unaware of the changes in the situation.

He did not know that when Rose City exploded, humans had killed two rank-9 powerhouses.

After digging underground for half a day, Fang ping felt that he was far away from Rose City, so he began to emerge.

After poking his head out from the ground to check for a moment, Fang ping let out a long breath ... After that, he suddenly cursed in a low voice,""Why are you still panting when your entire body is leaking air?"

He was already a sieve, and he didn"t know what was the use of exhaling.

"Where are old w.a.n.g and the others?"

Fang ping had made an appointment with them earlier to meet at the swamp on the other side of Half Moon Lake.

But now ... Could he still go?

Did the giant horned beast return?

Did Rose city"s rank-9s go after him?

What Fang ping did not know was that the giant horned beast had long since escaped. It did not return to Half Moon Lake at all. When the mine in Half Moon Lake was blown up, the other party did not even need to pack their luggage and run. They ran away immediately.

As for the Rose King, she brought her men to the boundary and did not pursue the giant horned beast.

In reality, the Rose King did not need to chase after it to know that the giant horned beast had definitely escaped.

If he had the time to chase after this demonic beast, he might as well go to the boundary and fight for some opportunities.

Looking down at his ventilated body, Fang ping felt helpless. He crawled out of the ground, looked around, and mumbled,"Where is this place? Should I go back to the southern Heaven city now? Or do you want to continue looking for him?"

"Forget it. Let"s meet up with old w.a.n.g and the others first."

Fang ping did not know if those guys had gone to the swampland on the other side of Half Moon Lake, but even if they had not, he had to look for iron head.

Li Hansong had lured the giant horned beast away for a period of time, and it was unknown if he was still alive.

He took out a spare set of armor from his storage s.p.a.ce and put it on. Fang ping continued to disguise his catacombs martial artist aura, ready to ask someone for directions.

Now, Fang ping was not afraid of getting lost. They were all on the same side, so asking for directions was not a big problem.

After walking around aimlessly for half an hour, Fang ping met a group of people who were trying to escape.

A team that was escaping from Rose City!

There were not many people who survived in Rose City. Now that The Guardian monster plant was going crazy, these people did not dare to stay in Rose City any longer and started to flee in all directions.

……

Half an hour later, Fang ping bade farewell to the refugee team.

Before they left, the leader of the other party had thanked Fang ping profusely!

This Lord was too kind!

At this time, he had even escorted them and helped them kill a rank-5 monster. If not for the destruction of the royal city, some of the young martial artists in the team would have wanted to seek refuge with this Lord and join the guards.

The young martial artists had looks of regret and admiration.

Some of the elders were also extremely grateful. If Fang ping had not stopped them, they would have kowtowed to thank him.

Fang ping also bid farewell to everyone reluctantly. As he walked, he said,"Everyone, I"ll go back and see if any of my family members are still alive. When I find them, I"ll go to irispetal city to visit you!"

"Your Excellency is too serious. We should be the ones paying you a visit!"

The old men were terrified and hurriedly thanked him again.

Fang ping chuckled."It"s fine. Since your son is also a member of the Rose Army, we"re all one family. Now that the royal city has been destroyed, and people like us are wandering outside, we should keep in touch more."

"Then we"ll be waiting for Your Excellency!"

The survivors once again bowed in thanks. This Lord was very powerful, and now that Rose City had been destroyed, he would be living under someone else"s roof if he went to another city.

Although some of them had relatives in other cities and did not die this time, they were only at the early stage of level five. They could not compare to the expert who easily killed a level five demonic beast.

Fang ping did not say anything more and left quickly.

After they were some distance away, Fang ping mumbled,"Good people will be rewarded. A kind person like me should be rewarded."

Look, the two sides were mortal enemies, and he had even saved their lives. Where else could he find such good people?

As for why these people had left their homes and fled, that had nothing to do with Fang ping.

"I don"t know if there"s a custom of setting up an immortal temple here. I"m the one who saved their lives, so it"s not too much for them to build an immortal temple for me."

"Irispetal city ..."

Fang ping touched his chin. Maybe he should go. Of course, it was definitely not to blow up the city this time.

Fang ping did not want to court death again.

"Moreover, the battle at the South sky pa.s.sage seems to have stopped. It"s hard to say if these rank-9s have all returned.

……

After going around the ruined Rose City, Fang ping also saw that the towering giant flower was going crazy. More than an hour later, Fang ping arrived at the swamp of Half Moon Lake.

As soon as they reached the marshland, Fang ping said hurriedly, "It"s me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, li Hansong appeared from the side and heaved a sigh of relief."I thought it was someone from Rose City. Are you alright?"

"What could happen to me? are you okay?"

At this moment, li Hansong was not much better than Fang ping. His body was also in a state of ruin.

Hearing Fang Ping"s question, li Hansong said helplessly, "I"m fine. If you hadn"t lured that guy away in time, I would"ve been in trouble. "In the past, when I saw you bring a group of high ranks out for a spin, I felt that it was quite easy.

Only now did I realize that it"s more dangerous than I thought. "

If Fang ping had not lured the giant horned beast away in time, he would really have been killed.

Fortunately, the giant horned beast was furious that its lair had been raided. It didn"t chase them to the end and ran back.

"It"s good that you"re fine. Didn"t old w.a.n.g and the others come?"

"Not yet ..."

As they were talking, Fang ping turned his head to the side and said,"Come out if you"re here. I thought you wouldn"t be coming back."

"If you"re not dead, how can we die so easily?"

From the small forest, Qin Fengqing and w.a.n.g Jinyang walked out together.

Qin Fengqing circled Fang ping and said with a smile, "You"re still alive? I told you you"re a lucky charm. Look at how tough your life is!"

Fang ping shot him a glance. He was too lazy to say anything else, so he said directly,"Previously, in order to blow up the Imperial City, I threw out all the energy mines that we had harvested previously as a trigger for the explosion. Qin Fengqing, your harvest is gone now."

Qin Fengqing"s face stiffened instantly. He could not help but curse in a low voice, "You"re not crazy!"

"This guy even threw away an energy mine?

Fang ping said nonchalantly,"I"ll report this to the military department later and see if they can compensate me. After all, I blew up a Royal City. It"s good enough that I didn"t ask them for extra fees. They should at least compensate me a little, right?"

"The military is so poor, and you expect them to compensate you?"

Qin Fengqing cursed again. Fang ping laughed."What do you know? the government might not have a lot of reserves, but they do have good things. The government was tight on these public resources because there were many people who needed them.

However, the government had a lot of high-end resources that were still in their hands.

You can"t even exchange for it normally, so you have to give me some this time. Otherwise, who would do such a huge loss next time, right?"

Fang ping did not say anything more about this. He thought for a while, then looked at old w.a.n.g and said,"The purpose of our visit this time is to find someone ..."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the few people stiffened.

You"ve already blown up the capital, why are you still looking for people!

Fang ping coughed lightly and laughed drily,"we can still continue looking for people. Didn"t I say it before?" Back then, Rose City had captured a group of people, killed some, and the rest were taken away.

There wasn"t any news about it before, and he wasn"t sure if it was true.

I"ve heard some news. Before I came back, I saved a group of refugees from Rose City ..."

"What?"

The three of them looked at him strangely. You saved a group of refugees?

These words sounded so awkward no matter how one heard them!

Fang ping ignored them and continued,"The son of the leader of this team is also a member of Rose city"s guards, but he"s now in irispetal city. I heard that he went to irispetal city for a mission.

As for what the mission was, although he was not sure, he heard that it was to escort a group of people to the West and take over from irispetal city.

Do you think ... The group of people who are escorting them, are they the human warriors who were captured?

Why don"t we go to irispetal city and find that guy to ask about the situation ..."

Qin Fengqing was speechless."You"ve destroyed someone"s capital. Why are you still asking for information?"

"Nonsense, I"m his father"s Savior. What"s wrong with me asking about the situation?"

“……”

Everyone was speechless. What he said made so much sense.

More importantly, don"t you feel guilty when you say the words "Savior"?

Despite their complaints, the few of them did not say anything more. w.a.n.g Jinyang glanced at Fang ping and sighed after a long while."Why don"t we just forget about it?"

He didn"t really want to continue.

This trip to find her had made his heart feel like it was going to stop.

Now, they still had to go to another capital city. Who knew what would happen?

Fang ping said sternly,"since I promised you that we"d look for her together, of course I"ll look for her until the end." We haven"t found her yet, so I don"t think we can give up halfway. We still have to keep looking.

Even if they couldn"t find him or were certain that he was dead, it wouldn"t be too late to give up.

"Brother w.a.n.g, that"s your mentor ..."

"Of course, I want to continue searching, but according to your method ..." w.a.n.g Jinyang smiled bitterly.

"Don"t worry, brother w.a.n.g. I"ll keep a low profile this time!"

Fang ping said heavily. Then, he said helplessly,"We can"t blow up the city anymore. We"re out of high-ranked energy stones. Without a catalyst, it"ll be very difficult to blow up the city. Moreover, my injuries are not light. If I enter the underground of the royal city again, I"m really done for.

If we really can"t find her, we"ll give up and return to the heavenly South Region. "

w.a.n.g Jinyang considered it for a moment, then nodded."Then I"ll have to trouble everyone ..."

He then looked at Fang ping and added, "I"m really looking for someone this time!"

"Of course!"

Fang ping agreed readily. He then took out a few sets of armor and said to everyone, "Let"s go to irispetal city and take a look. I"m now in a state of physical collapse. I wonder if I can get some life essence to repair my body ..."

w.a.n.g Jinyang"s body froze at those words!

Don"t tease me!

"F * ck, you just said you wouldn"t mess around this time!

Where could he find life essence?

Of course, it was at The Guardian monster plant!

This guy actually wanted to get some life essence?

Seeing this, Fang ping coughed drily and said hurriedly, "I"m just saying. Don"t take it seriously. It"s not like this thing can be found everywhere."

w.a.n.g Jinyang sighed and did not say anything else.

At the side, li Hansong had already started to show off the huge mine in the capital to Qin Fengqing. He also talked about his great achievements of walking high-ranked monsters.
