Chapter 1 The Yin

The tree grew out of An Dong’er.

The roots emerging from An Dong’er's body were like umbilical cords, blood-colored and twisted, covered in wrinkled patterns.

She was moving around the Jing City expressway, carrying the entire tree.

Her direction was uncertain, but she seemed purposeful and well-planned, as if carving some kind of formation.

“Tianyin!”

Although he didn’t know anything, these two words suddenly popped into his mind.

Tianyin? What is Tianyin…?

The answer immediately appeared in his mind as soon as the confusion arose.

“No… impossible! This can’t be true! You can’t do this!! You’ll destroy the entire Jing City! Kill all living beings in Jing City and even the entire Qing Country!”

Realizing what Tianyin was, Qing Chen’s eyes widened, feeling like An Dong’er had gone mad!

That’s right, everything he knew, the answers to his confusion, all came from An Dong’er!

Or rather, he had become a part of An Dong’er. A part of An Dong’er’s memories had been implanted into his mind.

But no matter how much he shouted, An Dong’er ignored him.

She was like an emotionless monster, unresponsive to everything, simply following some kind of goal, moving rapidly within Jing City.

And those ruins made of simple lines were actually the buildings in Jing City, but An Dong’er seemed to be blind to them, crashing straight through, yet easily passing through, as if they existed in different dimensions and would never make contact.

This feeling was like when he saw Fang Yue encountering the [Underworld Envoys] in Chu Nuan City, ignoring everything and passing through everything!

“I have to stop her… No! I have to get away from her! Leave Jing City far away! Otherwise, no one will survive!”

Qing Chen didn’t know what An Dong’er’s true strength was. He only knew that the current An Dong’er was stronger than anything he had ever known! Far beyond powerful!

That was… a living monster!

A monster far more outrageous than Ye Ge!

Just then, he suddenly noticed his friend list light up, indicating that An Dong’er’s current route was not far from Fang Yue and the others’ location.

Almost instinctively, Qing Chen immediately opened the friend list and sent a message to Jing Yan as quickly as possible.

Then, he immediately chose to log off!

Log off! Log… off? Log off??

Unable to log off???

The log-off option was grayed out.

Qing Chen’s face turned as white as paper. At the same time, his distance from Jing Yan and the others increased rapidly, exceeding the limit of the range in which friends could contact each other.

That feeling of drowsiness came again.

The last thing Qing Chen saw was the system, as if stuck in a bug, constantly displaying prompts.

“System prompt: System error, identity cannot be recognized, unable to log off temporarily.”

“System prompt: System error, identity cannot be recognized, unable to log off temporarily.”

“System prompt: System error, identity cannot be recognized, unable to log off temporarily.”

……

Jing City, Qinggao Building, rooftop.

A man wearing a red phoenix mask was holding a woman wearing a blue phoenix mask, quietly overlooking the entire Jing City. Their eyes were locked on something, and their pupils moved quickly with something.

“Lord Mo… no, Master, the things you left behind, your disciple will soon be able to complete.”

“The immortals in the sky will one day fall to earth. Why should the dragons on the ground always soar in the sky?”

“Let your disciple break the dragon’s wings for you, and use dragon blood to offer the final movement for your masterpiece!”

Slowly opening his palm, the crisscrossing scars in Feng Wang’s hand faintly glowed, forming a unique formation.

If Fang Yue were here, he would definitely recognize this formation in his palm at first glance. It was a miniature version of the ancient formation of the Mo Village defense formation!

……

Han River.

The usually calm river surface was covered with a thick shadow today.

Above the sky, a thick and continuous giant black cloud was gradually drifting towards the Han River.

The dense and unusual huge black cloud seemed to contain some extremely terrifying existence. Just slowly passing by caused the surface of the Han River to suddenly ripple.

Circles of ripples spread fiercely across the surface of the Han River.

This strange phenomenon spread into the depths of the Han River as the black cloud approached.

Glug glug.

The low-level Youguai under the Han River floated up from the bottom of the river, belly up, turning into dead fish.

Obviously.

The black cloud in the sky was crossing the Han River!

The huge black cloud soon fully entered the domain of the Han River, entering the sky above the Han River.

A huge shadow was cast down, and more Han River Youguai floated up from the bottom of the river like corpses.

“King! King! King! King!”

In the black cloud, a group of people overlapped and shouted excitedly with a deafening roar.

“The Han River is nothing more than this!” The Third Prince of the Wuyu Tribe said excitedly.

“Lord Hei Qing Gui, if you join forces with our Wuyu Tribe, we will surely be able to conquer the entire Qing Country!”

The Great Prince of the Wuyu Tribe also said excitedly.

In the entire black cloud, only the King of the Wuyu Tribe’s expression slowly became serious.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got this.” Hei Qing Gui’s faint voice calmed his emotions slightly.

Crack!

Just then.

The river surface in front suddenly cracked like a mirror.

The broken lake surface was like shattered time and space. The scattered fragments suddenly disappeared into the air.

And accompanied by the vision of the Han River, the thick black cloud that was originally floating in the high altitude suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall, and suddenly got stuck in the air, unable to move an inch over the Han River!

“What happened?!”

“I can’t move!”

“What’s going on?!”

“There’s something… there’s something in the Han River below!”

The five princes of the Wuyu Tribe were encountering this kind of thing for the first time. Their whole bodies seemed to freeze instantly, becoming unable to move at all.

Although it was very weak, with their realm, strength, and almost reaching the ceiling of the Qing Country region, they barely sensed it vaguely.

Under the Han River, there was indeed some existence, an existence beyond common sense, beyond their original cognition, staring at them, the invaders crossing the Han River.

Just such a gaze directly made them, the Rain-level Youguai who didn’t follow the rules, unable to move on the spot, without any room for resistance!

“What is it… what is it below!”

“The Han River in Qing Country actually hides this kind of thing…”

“The rumors are true… No! It’s far beyond the level of rumors! The thing under the Han River, even the current father, I’m afraid…”
