Chapter 2140: We Must Enter the Ancient World!
"Talk about a narrow road for enemies to meet."
"Didn’t expect the tab with the Bright Church still isn’t settled."
Xiao Zheng said this, then couldn’t help but laugh.
After shaking his head, he asked, "Right, when the Angel Clan contacted you, what exactly did they say? Don’t tell me they just sent you a challenge letter and asked you to duel?"
At that, Hades said, "You guessed right."
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng was instantly a bit speechless.
After who knows how long, Xiao Zheng finally said, "The Angel Clan really is just as arrogant as the Bright Church. Even though you just broke through into the Transcendent Realm, they shouldn’t have the guts to directly serve you a battle challenge, right?"
"Seriously a bunch of brainless idiots. So what if they’re tall and have more wings? In the end they still have to die, don’t they?"
Hearing his rant, Hades didn’t speak.
Helplessly shaking his head, Xiao Zheng asked again, "Right, have you set the time for the duel yet?"
"The day after tomorrow, Yacha Mountain Range." Hades answered very succinctly.
"They actually chose to duel in the Yacha Mountain Range? That’s the Bright Church’s holy land." Xiao Zheng rubbed his chin, then couldn’t help but laugh. "Looks like the Angel Clan really is dead set on avenging the Bright Church this time."
"They can’t avenge them." Hades said, her tone extremely firm.
Clearly, killing intent had already stirred in her heart.
Xiao Zheng nodded. "They indeed can’t. Don’t worry, I’ll be going with you for this duel. As long as I’m there, they won’t be able to hurt you."
Hearing this, Hades inexplicably felt a wave of peace.
Even though she’d never feared the Angel Clan’s challenge before, after hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, she still felt a warmth.
Hades silently nodded, saying nothing more.
At this moment Xiao Zheng said, "Right, I came this time not only to ask you to help me make another Soul Holy Stone, there’s actually another very important matter I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Hades’ eyes showed doubt.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng said, "From those six people just now, I learned that the Ancient Clan will, before long, dispatch a second batch of experts to leave the Ancient World."
Hearing that, even Hades couldn’t help but lightly knit her brows.
Xiao Zheng glanced at her, then continued, "Besides that, the quality of this second batch of experts is far higher than the first. The Ancient Clan seems to have found a way to crack the barrier, and in this second group there are no lack of Ancient Clan prodigies."
"What realm are they?" Hades asked.
"At the lowest, Transcendent Realm. Above that, Creation Realm." Xiao Zheng didn’t hide anything, speaking very directly. "The crisis of the Ancient Clan will only grow more and more severe, so for a long stretch ahead, life’s going to be tough for us."
He might not fear these people of the Ancient Clan, but that didn’t mean the people around him didn’t.
If the Ancient Clan really did move everyone out of the Ancient World and come to Earth to launch an offensive, it would definitely trigger a great war in the cultivation world. And the flames of war would sweep across both East and West!
Realizing how serious this was, Hades said, "We absolutely can’t sit here and wait for death anymore."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded. "I’m thinking the same as you. Let me tell you about a plan. Right now it’s only an idea, not implemented yet, so you just need to listen."
"Go on." Hades’ gaze fell on him.
Xiao Zheng’s expression turned solemn, and he said, "I plan to counterattack the Ancient World!"
What!
Upon hearing his decision, a flash of shock instantly shot through Hades’ eyes.
After who knows how long, Hades finally frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"
Although they now knew where the entrance to the Ancient World was, within that world lived countless members of the Ancient Clan, experts as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river. Normally speaking, when encountering such an enemy, everyone would avoid them if they could, yet Xiao Zheng偏偏 wanted to do the opposite and actually counterattack the Ancient World!
Xiao Zheng’s boldness was so great that Hades suddenly felt he was a bit unfamiliar.
It was as if the Xiao Zheng standing before her now was a completely different person from the Xiao Zheng of before.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng first chuckled softly, then said, "I know what you’re worried about. But relax, I haven’t gone crazy. On the contrary, I feel more clear-headed than ever."
"This decision has actually been entrenched in my mind for a very, very long time."
Realizing he wasn’t joking, Hades said, "I think this plan still needs more consideration."
Even someone as cold and domineering as her couldn’t help but hesitate after hearing Xiao Zheng’s plan.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile again and said, "There’s actually no need to think it over anymore, because everything that needed thinking, I’ve already thought through. If my strength were enough right now, I would’ve already gone through the barrier."
"But what if, once you enter the Ancient World, you can’t get back out?" Hades said. "Even the people of the Ancient Clan themselves haven’t fully figured out the Ancient World’s barrier."
"Don’t worry about that. Eugene has already told me before: the Ancient Clan’s barrier isn’t as powerful as we imagine. It just places stricter limits on people whose cultivation is stronger." Xiao Zheng said. "Once I reach Creation Realm Peak, that’s about the limit of what the barrier can withstand."
"When that time comes, I’ll officially enter the Ancient World!"
Hearing this, Hades felt another jolt of shock, then asked, "Have you already broken through to the Creation Realm now? How long until you reach Creation Realm Peak?"
"My Xiu is already at the Creation Realm. As for breaking through to Creation Realm Peak, if things go smoothly, it should be possible in two or three months." Xiao Zheng said.
If he could find another Golden Bone from the remaining members of the Ancient Clan, that time would be shortened again.
Xiao Zheng glanced at the silent Hades and spoke again, "I know you’re worried about my safety, but what I want to say is that this Ancient Clan invasion is definitely not as simple as it looks on the surface."
"If we want to know the real truth, we have to enter the Ancient World!"
"Likewise, if we want to completely eradicate the threat of the Ancient Clan’s invasion, we also have to enter the Ancient World! Because no matter what, we’ll have to cross hands with the people of the Ancient World in the end. Rather than waiting for them to run a wheel battle on us, we might as well take the initiative!"
In his words, there was a deep, pervasive madness.
If she didn’t know it was impossible for someone to impersonate Xiao Zheng, Hades would practically have thought the man before her was a fake!
