Chapter 564: Chapter 326: Conversation and Returning to Kyoto

Above ground.

The accumulated snow and ice were collapsing like mountains and rivers, flowing down with the terrain.

Over the years, the thick ice and snow had already filled the cave entrance that Chen Sheng and the others had jumped into earlier.

But it didn’t hinder them.

Bang!!

In the midst of the deafening rumble filling the heaven and earth.

With a loud explosion, countless snow and ice shards were shot into the skyline.

Chen Sheng jumped out and stood on the snow.

Under the surrounding momentum of collapsing mountains and rivers, he appeared minuscule in comparison.

A huge mass of ice and snow surged downwards, as if a roaring giant beast was charging towards Chen Sheng.

Unfortunately,

This giant beast was not facing a small, fragile ant.

Instead, it faced an unshakable existence.

Chen Sheng stood quietly, letting the snow and ice wash over him, without flinching.

Meanwhile, in his hand, Zhurong’s skull swayed back and forth in the torrent.

Under the avalanche,

The bright red hair was pulled taut, seemingly about to snap at any moment, and disappeared beneath the surface of the sea with the falling snow.

Chen Sheng had a thought.

The strength attribute on his panel immediately rose to 3 million.

He lifted his foot,

And gently stomped on the ground.

Whoosh!

The shockwave instantly dispersed.

At a glance, an empty area of about several hundred meters in diameter was suddenly cleared in the pure white world.

As time passed, this area continued to expand.

The snow pushed away,

Chen Sheng could finally see the situation of the Far South Continent.

Many mountain peaks were breaking apart, crashing down with a loud roar.

In the distant ice-blue sea, countless shattered ice pieces connected together, forming a scroll filled with cracks.

His ears twitched slightly,

In the midst of the rumbling, he heard desperate and powerless cries from several kilometers away.

Those were the personnel from the previously-devastated Association.

They probably hadn’t had enough time to reach the edge before they were attacked by the sudden catastrophe, plunging them into a life-or-death predicament.

And so,

Chen Sheng turned his head and looked back.

Just at this moment, the sound of three people emerged from the air.

It was Li Wuji and the other two he had left behind, who finally made it to the surface.

Upon seeing the doomsday-like scene for the first time, their faces showed bewilderment.

But they never had the chance to be horrified.

Chen Sheng casually tossed Zhurong’s skull to Li Wuji.

Ah?

Li Wuji instinctively reached out with both hands, catching the skull.

Before he had a chance to react,

Chen Sheng gripped Rhein and Or with one hand each, lifting them up.

The suddenness of the situation made their hearts skip a beat, thinking that the Martial Arts Association was planning to silence them.

Unfortunately, the arms were like cast steel, making it impossible for them to struggle free. All they could do was watch in fear as Chen Sheng gripped their necks and lifted them up.

“The personnel who retreated earlier need rescue.”

“Due to the avalanche, their positions are scattered.”

“I’ll send you over.”

If only he had said so earlier.

We have our own legs!

Or was complaining in his heart,

Just about to refuse Chen Sheng’s offer…

“We can make it on our own—”

Boom!!!

But before his words fell,

Chen Sheng jumped into the air,

And in an instant,

They became mere specks in Li Wuji’s eyes.

With this leap,

Chen Sheng directly carried the two men above the clouds.

At such speed,

Even Or and Rhein, two top powerhouses, couldn’t help but feel disoriented by the pressure of the wind.

Unfortunately,

Chen Sheng didn’t give them any time to react.

He quickly aimed at two locations where trapped personnel were more concentrated.

“Get going.”

He spoke indifferently.

Thunder surged from his arms, rapidly wrapping around the bodies of the two men.

Like the grim reaper’s proclamation, it terrified the bewildered duo.

“Wait—Aaah!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two meteors,

Flashed across the skyline.

How strong was Chen Sheng’s strength?

His 3 million strength attribute was about twenty-five times that of Li Wuji.

About forty times that of Rhein and Or.

Moreover, Chen Sheng added a thunder enchantment to them to help them arrive faster.

Such speed,

Caused the rumbling noise from the ground beneath them to arrive even before Chen Sheng could retract his arm.

Fortunately, though,

Just as they were slammed into the ground, the two men showed their strength as top powerhouses of their respective countries and immediately began their rescue operations.

Seeing this,

Chen Sheng relaxed.

Thud.

His foot gently touched the ground.

Looking at the avalanche sweeping around him again,

Chen Sheng turned to Li Wuji.

“Let’s return to Kyoto first.”

“About the Heavenly Person, about what just happened…”

The seriousness in his eyes,

Made Li Wuji shiver involuntarily.

He had never seen this expression on Chen Sheng’s face before.

Li Wuji looked at the skull in his hand.

If one were to cover the red crystal on Zhurong’s forehead,

He would seem no different from a human from the outside.

“Zhurong…”

Whispering the name,

Numerous memories and images flashed through Li Wuji’s mind in this moment.

His face showed a hint of realization.

And so,

Li Wuji raised his head, meeting Chen Sheng’s eyes.

“I understand.”

“Let’s return to Kyoto.”

As soon as the words fell,

The two men didn’t delay any further. They quickly headed toward the ship by the coast.

Over the next hour,

With the help of Chen Sheng and the other three top powerhouses, the majority of the participants in danger were successfully rescued.

Upon their return to the ship,

After a brief exchange with the research director, Li Wuji’s mood seemed to lift.

Although their exploration of the Slumbering Land was relatively short,

The detectors installed underground had indeed transmitted a lot of useful data.
