In the evening, the caravan set up camp.
The One Line Sky was finally cleared up, and this was one of the missions Ming Hong gave him. Even Ming Hong didn't expect it to be done so well and so cleanly. When the news reached Tianwu Academy, it caused a huge commotion. After this battle, the Tianwu Academy's status and reputation among the people rose to another level.
After setting up camp, the barbecue dinner went on as usual.
"Nangong Chuji, your calculations are finally wrong." Dugu Hong teased Nangong Chuji.
Nangong Chuji looked embarrassed, and said, "I would rather have my calculations not be accurate than to let us all experience a bloody disaster. This time, it's all because of Guo Nan and Wang Shi. Otherwise, with so many people around, we'll be finished. "
Everyone nodded and looked at Guo Nan and Wang Shi with admiration.
Wang Shi pouted, "It's none of my business. Guo Nan killed the most people."
Wang Shi's name would definitely be on the credit book, but if Wang Shi didn't take the credit, then he wouldn't be interested in those things. For a bloody feast, he had absorbed an astonishing amount of death aura. For him, this was already enough.
"If we encounter such a situation again next time, Wang Shi and I will help you guys. You two can do it yourselves." You should all be able to build up your confidence. You are all good fighters, Fighter. Those like Horse Bandits, burning, killing, looting, they all deserve to die. When encountering those kinds of people, you don't have to worry about anything, you just have to let go and kill them. "
Guo Nan knew that people like Dugu Mei and Ji Lingxi had gone pale after killing too many people. Even now, they had not recovered, let alone eating.
The two of them really couldn't eat.
She had witnessed a lot of battles before. On the contrary, she looked normal, which made Wang Meng, Nangong Chuji, Dugu Hong, Wang Shi and others secretly admire her.
"Dugu Mei, Ji Lingxi, you don't need to have any psychological burdens. It's all over now. If there's a next time, I hope that you guys will be able to unleash even more power and kill even more people. Killing bad people was like killing chickens and pigs. It was so easy, yet he had to return the favor. Why wouldn't he do it? The commoners around the One Line Sky, how much should I thank you guys for? "
Upon hearing Guo Nan's words, Dugu Mei and Ji Lingxi's complexion slightly improved …
The next day, they continued to head south. They were getting closer and closer to the Demonic Beast mountain range.
Along the way, there weren't any more battles. Occasionally, they met some ignorant bandits. Dugu Mei and Ji Lingxi fought to get rid of them. Their minds relaxed a lot.
It could be said that the benefits from the battle of One Line Sky to Guo Nan were practically non-existent.
Wang Shi had obtained the cadaveric qi's death aura, and the rest of the people had been trained, from flowers in the greenhouse to saplings that could experience some wind and rain, while Guo Nan, other than running out of elemental energy, did not gain anything.
If one insisted that they would get something out of it, it was true that they would get something out of it as well. Guo Nan's fame had spread throughout the world, and many people praised him for it.
However, Guo Nan did not want those empty names. He only wanted to quickly break through and catch up to Wang Shi.
Based on the current situation, catching up with Wang Shi was impossible. Wang Shi's strength was already at the same level as Fighter's Guiyuan Realm.
Finally, the carriage entered the territory of Nanshi Mansion.
Passing through the Nanshi Mansion, one would reach the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.
"Big Brother Wang Meng, Nangong Chuji, Bi Lan, Senior apprentice-sister Ji, you guys go to the southern region of Nanshi Mansion first. That is the last stop to enter the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. Wait for me there. At least three days and at most five days, I will catch up to you all. "
"Wang Shi, protect them well. Don't let anything happen to them. The people at Pan Jiang Town are all mixed up in this, don't stir up trouble. "
Although they did not know what Guo Nan was going to do, and had stayed in Pan Jiang Town to delay time, the One Line Sky had passed through and they had not spent much time dealing with the trouble, thus saving a lot of time. Ming Hong gave him a month's time just for the route.
In the end, they calculated that there was still plenty of time, so they agreed.
Guo Nan, Dugu Hong and Dugu Mei went to Nanshi Mansion Center to look for Dugu Hong's father, Dugu Mei's brother, Dugu Kong.
Wang Meng, Ji Lingxi and the others headed towards the Pan Jiang Town.
Three people and one beast squeezed into a carriage and sped towards Southern Rock City.
Dugu Hong and Dugu Mei both understood that they were going to discuss how to mine the primeval stone.
"Guo Nan, Cillin Holy Land, it was you and Wang Shi who lost it, right?" On the way, Dugu Mei thought about what Guo Nan had said about using Skeleton Warrior to mine the primeval stone's vein, and the incident of the Cillin Holy Land disappearing just happened to occur.
Guo Nan did not intend to hide it anymore and nodded, "That's right. To be exact, I should have gotten rid of it all by myself. It has nothing to do with Wang Shi."
"It's such a big space, how can it be gone without a trace?"
"This is a little complicated. I won't explain it for now."
"Alright, are you really sure that you can mine the primeval stone's lode and keep it a secret for this long?" Dugu Mei asked expectantly.
Guo Nan nodded his head as if it was a matter of course and said: "Of course, the primeval stone lode must be mined, human resources are not enough, a large scale manpower transfer would be suspected by others. Even if you want your Dugu Family's private army to go, it would be useless. I believe there are a lot of people who are secretly monitoring your Dugu Family's private army. The only way is for Skeleton Warrior. "
Guo Nan smiled confidently, and continued: "Skeleton Warrior in Cillin Holy Land is now under my control, and the entire Cillin Holy Land is in my hands. Even if I say it now, you guys wouldn't understand. You'll know when we excavate the primeval stone's lode. "
One day later, the carriage entered the Southern Rock City.
The Southern Rock City was not big, and could not even compare to some of the small cities at the county level north of the Heavenly Empire. The entire Southern Rock City only had a population of around a hundred thousand. It could be seen how desolate the Nanshi Mansion was. In this kind of small city, if ten thousand people were to be deployed to excavate the primeval stone's vein, the commotion would be too big. Before long, the news of the primeval stone's vein would spread and the entire Heavenly Empire would be dead.
Dugu Hong and Dugu Mei understood this logic.
The primeval stone lode was an extremely important location. If they were to be exposed, it would bring about complete annihilation.
The Southern Rock City was very small, and they also had normal cultivation. They did not have much presence, and looked like a big house. The lord of the Southern Rock City was a member of a side branch of the Nangong Family. When Nangong Kong came to the Southern Rock City, the little city lord had given up his position. The current lord of the Southern Rock City was Dugu Kong.
Dugu Kong was only barely at the first stage of Natal Opening Realm. Compared to Dugu Long, Family Head, who was the Family Dugu, was indeed unsuitable.
But no matter what, the main character of Family Dugu, should be him.
It was a pity that Dugu Hong's grandfather had died too early. Before the power could be transferred to Dugu Kong, Dugu Wuji had already snatched the position of Family Head. Dugu Kong didn't have much of an opinion on this matter. After all, this wasn't an era where people were as bold as they were to be prolific. They had to follow the rules in everything they did. Dugu Long was so much stronger than him, and he knew that he would never be able to become Family Head of Family.
He only hoped that Dugu Hong would become an artifact and occupy a high position in the Tianwu Academy. He didn't want Dugu Wuji's meridian system s to snatch Senior Assembly Leader's position away, otherwise their line would become completely subordinate to the Dugu Family.
With this kind of mentality, Dugu Kong had no fighting spirit. She would check the accounts all day, drink some wine, and muddle along as she passed her days stiffly. Dugu Kong was feeling quite comfortable.
