Chapter 2162: Kunlun Barrier
"I have my own considerations on this matter."
"You don’t need to worry, I have everything under control."
Xiao Zheng spoke.
Upon hearing this, the words that Long Qie had just caught in his throat were swallowed down forcefully. After all, Xiao Zheng already said he has everything under control.
No matter the final outcome, as long as Xiao Zheng has considered it, there is no need for him to worry.
Over time, they have already established deep trust between them.
However, a series of events that followed caught them somewhat off guard.
It was like a chain reaction had occurred.
When picking Star Tower and Dragon Capturing Pavilion, along with other ancient martial arts schools and families, announced their merger into Sky Net, more and more fence sitters began choosing to pledge allegiance to Xiao Zheng and his group. In just half a day, over sixty families and schools joined Sky Net.
After counting, now Sky Net alone has hundreds of Martial Saint realm experts.
As for Supreme Realm experts, excluding Long Qie’s team of six, eight new members have been added!
This directly caused Sky Net’s strength to surge to an unprecedented height!
It was only now that Long Qie understood Xiao Zheng’s true intent.
Originally, Xiao Zheng planned to bait a horse with gold bones, using the absorption of schools like Picking Star Tower to attract more people to join Sky Net. This indeed is a way to quickly enhance Sky Net’s strength.
However, while strength surged, the sudden influx of so many people brings significant hidden dangers.
But Long Qie believes these dangers are manageable, and once the Holy Spirit Church is eliminated, he has time to slowly groom these people, integrating them into Sky Net completely.
With the joining of numerous ancient martial arts families and schools, Xiao Zheng announced another deployment.
At this moment, the Holy Spirit Church in Huaxia has few remaining bases. And the locations of these remaining bases have already been locked by Sky Net. After today, the Holy Spirit Church will completely vanish within Huaxia!
The battle erupted quickly, almost without any difficulty, these remaining bases of the Holy Spirit Church were seized by Sky Net.
As expected, everyone anticipated this outcome.
Yet what Xiao Zheng did not expect was that even so, he could not find the people from the Ancient Clan. Li Yue and Jiang Fan, along with their subordinates, seemed to have vanished into thin air, not a trace was seen.
"Where could they be hiding?"
Xiao Zheng’s gaze was deep, looking toward the distant mountains.
Suddenly, he thought of a place!
If the Ancient World really plans to send reinforcements again, then Li Yue and Jiang Fan must be hiding in a place where they could meet reinforcements first! And that place is at the barrier entrance of the Kunlun Mountain Range!
"Looks like it shouldn’t be wrong." Xiao Zheng sneered, speaking, "If they haven’t escaped to Europe to converge with Elmer, then they are definitely hiding at the barrier entrance of Kunlun Mountain."
Upon hearing his words, a hint of surprise flashed in Long Qie’s eyes, then he asked, "Is it true, Mr. Xiao? Shouldn’t we go with you? It’s better to have mutual support when there are more people."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "No need, let me go alone this time. Given your current realm, you’re not quite suited to join this kind of battle."
"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Although a bit regretful, Long Qie and others ultimately nodded in agreement.
After all, Xiao Zheng was right; with their current strength, perhaps dealing with the Holy Spirit Church poses no problem, but battling the Ancient Clan would be too much to handle. Most of their opponents are Transcendent Realm experts, and once the battle begins, Long Qie and his team might be instantly defeated.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Xiao Zheng rushed toward the location of the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Before, when he captured many prisoners, he already probed and found two barrier locations. The Kunlun Mountain Range barrier is located not far from the Top of Kunlun, hidden beneath a hundred-zhang cliff.
However, upon reaching the destination, Xiao Zheng did not find any traces of anyone. Not even the barrier was seen, causing doubts to arise in his heart about being deceived.
But after carefully searching the area, he finally found the barrier’s location.
Hidden at the cliff’s base was a natural cave.
As for the barrier to the Ancient World, it was hidden within this cave. No one knew who discovered this place initially, but the barrier is so covertly hidden yet managed to be found.
Xiao Zheng did not focus too much on the barrier but began to search the surroundings.
He came here originally to hunt down Li Yue and others.
Finding the whereabouts of Li Yue and others is now of paramount importance.
However, even after searching tirelessly for nearly an hour, Xiao Zheng still found nothing. He searched inside and out of several adjacent mountains, but they were nowhere to be found.
"Looks like they’re not here."
"If Li Yue and Jiang Fan are not hiding at the Kunlun Barrier, then perhaps they have already converged with Elmer. Maybe heading to the Western Ten Thousand Mountains’ barrier might lead to finding them!"
Xiao Zheng looked toward the west, eyes filled with killing intent.
But he did not immediately take action; instead, he returned to the barrier. This was his first time at the location, looking at the barrier connecting two worlds, curiosity welled within him.
Xiao Zheng tried to move his hand through the barrier, but when his hand touched the barrier, a shock-like sensation immediately occurred.
The intense pain shot through, flinging his hand back abruptly.
Xiao Zheng was surprised to find that the finger touching the barrier was damaged and bleeding. Since fusing with the Golden Bone, he rarely suffers wounds; even a Creation Realm Peak expert wouldn’t leave a scratch without desperation.
This demonstrates the immense power the barrier holds!
No wonder even the Ancient Clan members do not dare to rashly cross the barrier. If they forcefully try, even a Blood and Flesh Derivation Realm figure might vanish instantly!
A breath later, the wound on Xiao Zheng’s finger healed.
He glanced at the barrier again, then shook his head, saying, "Forget it, since the barrier cannot be crossed now, let’s disregard it for the time being. As long as I can capture Li Yue, I will undoubtedly learn how to breach the barrier."
Evidently, Xiao Zheng hasn’t given up the thought of invading the Ancient World.
After muttering to himself, he exited the cave, rising and flying into the vast cloud sea.
Half an hour later, Xiao Zheng reunited with Long Qie and others.
