Chapter 468 - 367: The Fog Clears, Sword Slash Strikes Foes

"Let’s go."

Han Zhan spoke no more, donning the Demon Crossing Cloak again.

The heavy silver armor covered him entirely, and the red cloak fluttered behind him fiercely.

This was Han Zhan’s first action after breaking through to Tier Eight.

The six Great Ruins within him breathed out rays of light, making his Tier Eight significantly more powerful than others.

He didn’t know how long it would take to deal with the rest of the walking corpses in this village.

The only thing certain was,

it would be quick!

On this night, a new moon appeared in the sky.

Somewhere else in the gray mist.

A Jiuli Race Great Power sensed something and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"Lord Feng Bo, is there a new development?" Nearby, a subordinate Jiu Li Warrior saw his movement and immediately approached to ask.

Feng Bo, a Jiuli Race Great Power, was dispatched to resist the invasion of the Yellow Emperor Tribe, caught in a bitter struggle with no way out so far.

The thick gray fog closed off a large area, causing them to lose direction within, while numerous walking corpses and Fierce Beast Riders pursued them relentlessly, resulting in heavy casualties among the Jiu Li Warriors.

"It shouldn’t be."

After taking a look, Feng Bo withdrew his gaze.

"Just one Fenghou of the Yellow Emperor Tribe is enough to suppress my abilities completely, no need to send others over."

So, it couldn’t be anyone from the Yellow Emperor Tribe.

But if it wasn’t them, who else could cause such a commotion, unless... it was new reinforcements from the Jiuli Tribe?

However, across the entire Jiuli Tribe, there weren’t many Great Powers one could name, and they had been sent to their respective battlefields, who else could spare the time to come to his aid?

Moreover, Feng Bo couldn’t recall any Great Power in the vast Jiuli Tribe whose abilities were moon-related.

Could it be reinforcements from the Wizard Lineage?

"My lord, my lord!"

Noticing Feng Bo’s silence, the Jiu Li Warrior quickly shouted again, "The thick gray fog behind us has started chasing after us again!"

"Damn it! I just barely had a rest for a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Bo’s face immediately turned bitter.

Helplessly, he could do nothing but once again urge his abilities.

Feng Bo’s ability, perfectly in line with his name, a series of cyan Profound Texts lit up across the surface of his skin, and very quickly, Feng Bo was completely enveloped in cyan light.

Soon after, a fierce cyan wind burst forth within the dense forest where they stood.

The gale intensified, sweeping through the entire forest, while also blowing the dense fog gathered behind them in the opposite direction.

After this, Feng Bo seemed even paler.

He panted heavily and spoke to the waiting Jiu Li Warrior beside him, "Pass the order, tonight’s rest is canceled, everyone prepare immediately, while the fog hasn’t messed with the paths, depart overnight, and head to the next village!"

"My lord, we’ve been on the road for three consecutive days."

The warrior responsible for passing the orders subconsciously said, but quickly realized his lapse in speech and shut his mouth again.

"My lord, where is the next village?"

Exhausted, Feng Bo raised his head and pointed toward the second new moon high in the sky.

...

"Using wind to disperse the gray fog? That’s undoubtedly a foolish method."

"What’s foolish about it? The wind can blow the fog away. At that point, the path will become clear, and we can leave here."

In the village, Han Zhan and Li Wu were in a heated discussion.

Behind them, more than a hundred people had gathered, mostly the elderly, women, and children, with few men among them.

It’s only natural, for Jiuli men only die in battle, never cower in the village as cowards, for such would bring shame and make them unable to raise their heads in the tribe.

In front of them was a fog too thick to discern any direction.

Within the fog, there were rustling sounds; it was unclear if it was the wind swaying the leaves or those walking corpses and fierce beasts lurking in the shadows.

They had been so scared by Han Zhan’s sword!

Now the entire village had been cleared of walking corpses, saving the Jiuli people, as the Demon God’s Heart absorbed a large amount of Demon Blood, mostly sourced from the walking corpses slain, for they had devoured Jiuli cadavers.

Killing walking corpses, saving the people, absorbing Demon Blood, all in one swift move.

However, regarding the next step, Li Wu and Han Zhan held differing opinions.

Li Wu’s plan was to use wind to blow away the fog and pave a way for them.

Li Wu understood Han Zhan’s abilities and had seen him in the Blood Pool, able to control the wind and absorb large amounts of pollution.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhan directly rejected his suggestion.

"The wind indeed can scatter the fog, but have you considered where those scattered fog patches eventually go?"

"They..." Caught off guard by Han Zhan’s question, Li Wu’s mind stuttered, "They were blown elsewhere?"

"Where else is that?" Han Zhan continued to ask.

"Elsewhere is... elsewhere is just somewhere, it can’t be a specific place."

"Exactly, it is a specific location, and this place is the foggy area centered around Fenghou."

"You use the wind to blow away the fog, merely scattering it from this region to the sides and behind, without reducing the fog’s total volume."

Curing the symptoms but not the root, wasting Spiritual Power.

Han Zhan could sense that the gray fog not only caused navigational confusion but continually birthed new walking corpses and Fierce Beast Riders, launching relentless attacks.

If it were anyone else trapped in this fog, they’d surely be ground down, exhausted to death.

"Regarding the gray fog, we can consider approaching it from two perspectives."

"The number of walking corpses and Fierce Beast Riders within the gray fog will multiply, but for me, slaying one or a group doesn’t differ much."

As Han Zhan spoke, he flicked the Moonlight Longsword in his hand.

Tier Eight Cultivation, six Great Ruins, supreme insight enhanced by the Bodhi Treasure Tree, and superb Sword Skills.

Han Zhan’s words left no room for argument.

"Then how should we find a way to escape the gray fog?" Li Wu promptly asked.

"This is the second aspect I wanted to mention. I will create a Guiding Car."

"A Guiding Car? What’s that?" Li Wu, never hearing this term before, was momentarily puzzled.

"A Guiding Car can show us the ’south’ direction. If we follow its guidance, we won’t get lost in the gray fog."

Han Zhan’s mind was full of legendary tales about the Guiding Car, which he couldn’t fully share with Li Wu.

Understanding dawned on Li Wu as he nodded, "So, we can leave the gray fog area using the Guiding Car?"

"No." Han Zhan’s eyes focused, twitching his sharp eyebrows, "The Guiding Car can penetrate the center of the gray fog region."

"We must go there, kill Fenghou, and completely eliminate the danger in this area."
