Chapter 2366 The Red General's Response
The current atmosphere in Heishui City is tense, like a storm brewing. Dong Rui summarized the situation in Heishui City by saying, "Egg prices have tripled."
The sun began to set in the west.
Meanwhile, in the Panlong Secret Realm, He Lingchuan, who had been standing on the city wall and seemed to have become one with it, moved.
He took a deep breath and murmured, "It's time."
He turned around and took one last look at the ancient city of Panlong.
In the past few days, he has traveled to every corner of the secret realm, deeply imprinting its layout and current state in his mind.
It's time to say goodbye.
Even with her extensive experience, Aunt Zhu felt a surge of nervousness: "Shall we start now? Or should we wait another day or two?"
“There will never be a day when you are truly ready.” He Lingchuan jumped directly off the city wall, but his landing was so light that the air current he created couldn’t even lift a leaf.
Aunt Zhu also swung down on the spider silk and followed closely behind, only to find that he had first gone to visit the tomb of General Hong.
The imposing cenotaph had already been filled back with earth and restored to its original state. He Lingchuan pulled out the Thunder-Responding Spear and planted it heavily in the ground in front of the tomb. He then approached General Hong's tombstone, knelt down on one knee, and gently wiped away the dust from the tombstone.
The five characters "Tomb of the Red General" remain as striking as ever, still as vividly red as blood.
This tomb holds a legendary name and a legendary past, and He Lingchuan knows her resentment.
She and countless other souls, unwilling to remain silent, are enduring and waiting.
Facing the tombstone, He Lingchuan spoke each word carefully:
"Panlongcheng and Dafanghu are once again in imminent danger, and I alone cannot turn the tide."
"I need your strength!"
"I need the strength of all of you!"
"Please lend me a hand, so that I may fight for all living beings once more!"
Fight for all living beings! This is Zhong Shengguang's vow before his death, as recorded in the memories of the Dayan Heavenly Pearl.
The lingering sound traveled far through the open forest, seemingly echoing.
Then, there was only empty silence.
With a dozen or so eyes scanning the surroundings, was He Lingchuan's request ineffective?
He Lingchuan didn't look up, keeping his eyes down and his mind focused.
A dozen or so breaths later, a gentle breeze blew from somewhere, causing the sand and gravel near the tip of Ying Lei's spear to scatter wildly.
So the two of them could see with their naked eyes that a mischievous wind seemed to be swirling around the Thunder Spear, blowing faster and faster, stronger and stronger.
A strong wind is rising.
Sand and stones were flying all around, and the view outside the cemetery was obscured.
Within the tornado, flashes of lightning appeared and crackled.
Aunt Zhu remembered that the gun was called "Ying Lei".
The red general's former sidearm began to glow with a red light, which was faint at first but gradually became stronger.
In the end, the purple light became so thick it turned black.
General Red gave... a response?
Just as the tornado was at its most violent, the dark light on the gun suddenly disappeared.
The strong wind dissipated in an instant, leaving only dust and sand fluttering about like a heavy snowfall.
He Lingchuan leaped to his feet, drew his gun, and clasped his hands in a salute to the tombstone:
"Thank you!"
With the Thunderclap in hand, it possessed a rhythm unlike any before, as if a powerful demonic beast lurked within, waiting to burst forth and kill with bloodlust.
"Take it easy." He Lingchuan patted the gun barrel lightly, then turned around and strode towards the Misty Valley outside Panlong City, which is also known as the Singing Sand Forest.
The mist that usually drifts through the mountains and forests has disappeared, and the visibility in the Singing Sand Forest is clearer than ever before.
He Lingchuan also saw clearly that a small portion of the trees here had indeed withered.
He stood by the puddle and said loudly:
"I want to restart the secret realm, where is Chaos?"
His voice echoed throughout the valley.
He repeated this sentence three times.
Aunt Zhu had been staring intently at the water, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's here! Is that it?"
A massive, shadowy figure, like a giant fish, darted across the dim, reddish water. Aunt Zhu didn't know how far it was from the surface, but just its silhouette alone exerted immense pressure on the Cave Spider Queen.
"Yes." He Lingchuan felt relieved when he saw Hun Dun's figure.
Its arrival means that my method is working.
Aunt Zhu couldn't help but rub her hands together: "And then?"
The moment to witness history has arrived, and it is so excited.
"First of all, the old secret realm ends here." He Lingchuan faced the south gate of Panlong City, gave a solemn military salute unique to the Great Wind Army, and then took out the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, spread it flat in his palm, and stretched it out in the direction of the south gate of Panlong.
"From now on, I'll take care of everything. Lord Zhong, please rest assured."
Zhong Shengguang sacrificed himself to become a demon, guarding the Great Square Pot for 170 years with his own strength, repelling all invaders. He had already given his all and died for it.
As the designated successor to Panlong's mantle, He Lingchuan also made the most solemn promise.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a strong wind swept through the area.
The ancient city, standing for 170 years, was like a sandcastle swept away by a strong wind. Those high walls and gates, streets and halls, armories, inns, post stations, and residences… all crumbled before their very eyes, then turned into a vast expanse of yellow sand, sweeping in from all directions.
Then, he rushed into the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl!
This is the collapse of a small world, and the end of a mission.
Watching from the side, Aunt Zhu was filled with excitement, and her eight claws unconsciously tapped the ground lightly.
It had actually seen this scene before in the Haoyuan Golden Mirror of the Upside-Down Sea. At that time, He Lingchuan killed Miao Zhantian with a single blow, and the "Panlong Ancient City" in the Dayan Heavenly Pearl was also annihilated in the consciousness of the Thousand Illusion True Man.
It never expected that it would have the privilege of witnessing such a spectacular scene twice.
However, this time, the destruction of "Panlong Ancient City" means that the secret space that Zhong Shengguang built for more than 170 years has completely collapsed!
The last bit of power that Zhong Shengguang had left after becoming a demon was also used to participate in the construction of the new secret realm in the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, and not a single bit was wasted.
Feeling moved, He Lingchuan said in a low voice, "The affairs of the world are like the wind in the wind."
This secret realm was built in the wind, and it will eventually end in the wind as well.
Zhong Shengguang's resilient and unyielding life has finally come to a perfect end.
As the last wisp of yellow sand was sucked into the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, this secret realm space also disappeared, leaving only the misty valley where the two people could fit.
Beyond the misty valley, there was only boundless darkness.
Aunt Zhu knew that from this moment on, the power that protected the Panlong Wasteland in reality would also disappear.
The old secret realm has ended, but the new journey has not yet begun. For it and He Lingchuan, the most difficult period of vacuum is about to arrive.
He Lingchuan suddenly turned to it and asked, "Are the things we collected from the Panlong Secret Realm still there?"
Aunt Zhu looked at the sac and nodded: "Although the secret realm itself has disappeared, these things are still here."
"This is the last bit of help Lord Zhong is giving me," He Lingchuan said earnestly. "They will come in handy when we deal with the Earth Mother later."
