Chapter 4557
Upper Area!
"senior……"
Ling Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support the Jade Emperor, his heart filled with pity.
But the Jade Emperor shook his head slightly, "Let me finish what I'm saying..."
He panted several times before continuing, "The seal I reinforced for you can only last for a year at most. Therefore, you must find the Glory of God within a year... After a year, if there is no Glory of God to repair your broken priesthood, the next outbreak will only be... more violent."
"One year?"
At this moment, Leader Huanglong suddenly cut through the void.
He actually burned his original essence and blood directly, drawing a mysterious trajectory outside the Yunque Cave Heaven.
The next moment, the seventy-two suspended mountains trembled at the same time, and time and space rippled like folded silk. Ling Feng saw that the stars outside the cave began to rotate counterclockwise, and some power beyond cognition was modifying the laws of reality.
"Senior Jade Emperor, I have sealed the entire Yunque Cave Heaven into the time-delayed cave."
Huang Long wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "In this cave, the passage of time will also be affected by me. One year in the outside world, only seven days pass in the cave. This is already the limit of what I can do..."
Before he could finish his words, Huang Long staggered and almost fell.
Huang Shaotian quickly stepped forward to support Huang Long, "In this way, Senior Jade Emperor will also have a chance to wait until Ling Feng brings back the Glory of the Gods?"
Huang Long nodded slightly, "Yes."
Huang Shaotian helped Huang Long sit down, and then continued: "Seeing that Senior has become so weak all of a sudden, the price he paid must be quite high, right?"
"If we can save Senior Jade Emperor and protect a priest, this price is nothing."
Huang Long said, took another deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, stared at Ling Feng, gritted his teeth and said: "Ling Feng, given the current situation, it will be very difficult for you to go from the bottom to the upper area."
"I can disguise myself..."
"No, if something like this happens in the bottom city, the passage to the upper area will definitely be completely blocked. You won't have any chance at all."
Ling Feng frowned slightly and thought about borrowing Longze Liyue's identity, but quickly rejected it.
Although she is a member of the Longze family, she is an exile after all.
The entire city must have exploded by now, and the army of Purdue Academy will certainly block all the passages.
Even in the near future, the Calamity Army from the Beiming Military Academy will also arrive one after another.
Compared to Purdue Academy, the Scourge Army is the real war machine.
A large number of skeletons, an iron army composed of intelligent machines, and sophisticated equipment.
They are all products of civilization that can be reproduced in batches.
These armies will not worry about battle casualties like the Four Horsemen of the Scourge.
So don't imagine that things will calm down if you delay.
The longer we delay, the more the situation will get out of control.
Then I heard the leader Huang Long continue: "It's a pity that the time-delay hole I opened to the upper area was also destroyed in the pursuit and interception of the Arbitration Council some time ago. Otherwise, maybe I could have bypassed the blockade of the bottom layer."
"What should I do?"
Huang Shaotian's eyes widened. "That Divine Glory is in the upper area, but we can't even get up there. Isn't that useless?"
Ling Feng frowned, looking at the extremely weak Supreme Jade Emperor, clenched his fists and said: "If it really doesn't work, we have to force our way through!"
Huang Shaotian patted his chest and said, "Okay! Brother Ling Feng, I, Huang Shaotian, will sacrifice my life to accompany you!"
“This is the worst option.”
Leader Huang Long shook his head, pondered for a moment, his eyelids suddenly jumped, and said: "However, there is another passage, maybe we can give it a try!"
"Oh?"
Huang Shaotian immediately turned around and looked at Huang Long, "What do you mean?"
Ling Feng was a little worried. Leader Huang Long only mentioned this method at the very end, and it was probably the only other way.
This road is definitely not easy to walk on.
Leader Huang Long said slowly: "When I first mastered the time delay position, I accidentally opened up a passage to the upper area ten years ago."
"Ten years ago?"
Huang Shaotian and Ling Feng looked at each other, and the next moment, Huang Shaotian said happily: "That's perfect! Ten years ago, nothing had happened yet, and there was not even a wanted order for Ling Feng. Isn't it a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters?"
Ling Feng also nodded.
Although he didn't know how long he had been sleeping before being rescued by Huang Long (Emperor Shenhuang), it had only been a few months since he came to the bottom city.
If he used Chief Huanglong's time-delay hole to jump to a certain time point ten years ago, the Judgment Council would definitely not be on guard against him.
"In theory, that's true."
Leader Huang Long took a deep breath and said, "But, as I said, it was just a coincidence. This passage is not stable, and once it is opened again, it will completely collapse."
"Then if you go there, you won't be able to come back, right?"
Huang Shaotian's expression changed, "Or do we have to wait another ten years in the past time and space?"
"That's not necessary."
Leader Huang Long shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After finding the Glory of God, you can also find me ten years ago in that time and space ten years ago. Then let me ten years ago help you return to this time point. Compared to me who has just mastered the power of status, I ten years ago can already control this power more perfectly.
"The reason why I have been sealing this hole that can go back ten years is to prepare for an emergency. I didn't expect it to come in handy now."
As he spoke, he stared at Ling Feng again, "But this hole is just a coincidence after all, and it is not stable. I dare not guarantee that you can successfully return to the upper area ten years ago, and I can't even guarantee the location of the teleportation. In other words..."
"If we are unlucky, will we be teleported directly to the base camp of the Scourge Army?" Huang Shaotian interrupted.
“Ahem…” Leader Huang Long shook his head and smiled, “It’s not impossible.”
"Then give it a try!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath without any hesitation.
He now shoulders not only his own destiny, but also the fate of the Jade Emperor and the entire Martial Alliance.
Therefore, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, he must try.
He looked deeply at the Jade Emperor. He was so weak that he could not speak at all. His heavy eyelids seemed about to close completely at any time and never open again.
"Senior! I will definitely bring back the glory of God!"
A trace of determination flashed in Ling Feng's eyes, and he immediately looked at the leader Huang Long, "Senior, open that passage!"
Chief Huang Long nodded and said, "This is the only way. Before the passage opens, you can go out and say goodbye to your companions..."
"No need..."
Ling Feng took a deep breath, "Anyway, for Yunque Cave Heaven, only seven days have passed. I will be back soon, and I will definitely be back!"
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Huang Shaotian took a step forward and walked to Ling Feng's side. "Senior Huang Long, your channel can't only teleport one person, right?"
“There is no such restriction.”
Leader Huang Long nodded slightly, "Now that Ling Feng's power of status has been sealed, although he can mobilize the remaining power of the star marrow, it is ultimately limited. Having you by his side to assist him will also be a great help."
"That's natural!"
Huang Shaotian raised his head, "I, Huang Shaotian, am now extremely powerful!"
Ling Feng looked at Huang Shaotian deeply, "Brother Huangdi..."
“Stop, stop, don’t look at me like that!” Huang Shaotian casually put the Nine Deaths Divine Sword on his shoulder, “I know I’m handsome and suave, but you don’t have to worship me too much.”
"Without further ado!"
Leader Huang Long took a deep breath and circulated the remaining spiritual power in his body. As the spiritual energy flowed wildly, a vortex similar to a space-time channel was torn open.
"You guys go in."
Leader Huang Long said in a deep voice: "I will try my best to ensure the stability of the passage. After you go in, follow my instructions. Otherwise, if you get lost in the passage, everything will be over!"
"Yeah." Ling Feng and Huang Shaotian nodded at the same time, and without any hesitation, they jumped into the whirlpool.
As the two figures disappeared at the end of the passage, Leader Huanglong staggered and almost collapsed to the ground.
"I hope your luck isn't too bad."
Chief Huang Long sighed softly and looked at the Jade Emperor beside him.
"Senior Yuhuang, no matter what, you must hold on!"
……
"Oh my god, this passage is poisonous!"
Inside the cave, Ling Feng and Huang Shaotian were already feeling dizzy. One moment they were rising rapidly, and the next moment they seemed to be falling directly into hell.
This feeling is completely different from when Natalie took them to the gathering point of the Annihilation Organization.
Just as Huang Long said, this passage was just a coincidence.
There are too many collapse points and collapse points throughout the channel.
Fortunately, with Ling Feng's intelligence, he quickly understood Huang Long's instructions.
His spiritual particle flow will constantly reorganize in the form of pointers to indicate the direction.
Therefore, although the process was a bit difficult, at least we did not get lost.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Ling Feng and the other man finally saw the light ahead.
"finally!"
Huang Shaotian's eyes were filled with tears as he rushed madly towards the only light.
Then, he leaped straight out of the hole.
Ling Feng followed closely behind, and was also fed up with the strange laws of space within the cave.
The upside-down and chaotic time and space was even more exaggerated than being trapped in one's own "chaos of heaven and earth".
But the next moment...
"vomit……"
A strong stench of decay hit Huang Shaotian's nose, and he felt as if his head had sunk into a stinky ditch. He almost vomited out the overnight meal.
"Damn, why is it so smelly? Are we in a toilet?"
Huang Shaotian opened his eyes wide, and suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water, followed by the "tick, tick" sound of water drops falling.
And above my head, there were all kinds of messy and noisy footsteps.
here it is……
sewer?
Huang Shaotian's eyelids twitched suddenly, and then he burst into laughter, "Haha, we are really lucky!"
Although it smells a bit, a teleportation point like the sewer is hidden enough.
Moreover, this strong stench did not contain any poisonous gas from the alchemical haze in the base city.
Obviously, this is the upper class area!
He could even smell a certain warm scent that was unique to the sun amid the stench of sewage in the sewers.
This is real sunlight, which is incomparable to the sunlight formed by simulated magic arrays in the lower area.
"Yeah, good luck."
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But let's find a way to leave here first..."
He pinched his nose, frowned and walked forward.
After all, it was in the upper area, and Ling Feng didn't even dare to use his spiritual power to explore.
Otherwise, if the strong people in the upper area noticed it, there would be trouble.
Enduring the stench of the sewer, the two continued on their way.
Finally, after about an hour, it reached the end of the sewer.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines down from the sky.
Although both of them were covered in dirty water, they couldn't help but moan in comfort under the sunlight.
“I never thought that one day I would feel like my life has reached its peak just by soaking up some sun!”
Huang Shaotian stretched and couldn't help but screaming loudly.
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had been in the City of Disasters for so long, but this was the first time he had seen the sky and the sun.
However, they soon stopped laughing.
Suddenly there was a roar in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen drones with flashing red lights of detection scanners hovered in front of the two men.
"No citizen-related identity detected! Confirmed identity: stowaway. Beep - alarm, alarm!"
The drone in the front scanned the two of them for a while and then sounded the alarm.
That is a special frequency band that cannot be perceived.
But soon, Ling Feng sensed dozens of skeleton patrols with the equivalent of magical energy levels, approaching this direction rapidly.
And those detection drones quickly took off.
"It's over. We're getting caught before we even accomplish anything!" Huang Shaotian cursed. "Damn it! Run!"
"I'm afraid I can't get away."
Ling Feng shook his head. "Those aircraft must have transmitted our appearance information back to the city defense headquarters. After all, Calamity City is a closed city. Where can we escape to? Besides, we also need an identity."
He sighed softly and said slowly: "Let's see what those corpse patrols say first."
Before he finished speaking, the first group of corpse patrols had already appeared on both sides of the sewage pool at the end of the stinking ditch, and surrounded Ling Feng and the other two.
"Stowaway, surrender and there is still a chance to survive!"
The leading skeleton, in appearance, is basically no different from an ordinary human being.
This type of skeleton should be able to serve as a squad leader even in the Scourge Army.
And his realm has actually reached the psychic level.
Although with Ling Feng's strength, even if the Seven Sins Priesthood was sealed, he could still easily crush them to death.
But his information has been saved by those drones, and if he wants to stay in the upper area, he must obtain a legal identity.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to move forward.
It's just the situation now...
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was a start of catastrophe!
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng raised his hands and said to the corpse patrols, "My Lords, I have no intention of resisting."
Huang Shaotian also shrugged and raised his hands, "I surrender too."
Seeing that the two were quite cooperative, the patrol captain nodded and asked the team member holding the Type 4 heavy particle submachine gun to put down his gun.
Then, he brought two team members and flew over to land beside Ling Feng and the other two.
The patrol captain looked at the two men and ordered his men, "Torture them first!"
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, Ling Feng and Huang Shaotian each received a pair of silver handcuffs.
(PS: Here is a brief introduction to the difference between skeletons and intelligent machines. Although both are artificial life forms, intelligent machines tend to be mechanized, equivalent to intelligent robots. Skeletons are cyborgs, with the same flesh and blood as humans, but the internal bone structure is different from that of humans, and there is no blood, and the breath of life is different from that of humans. So Ling Feng can easily distinguish them.
But whether it is a skeleton or an intelligent machine, they all have the same social status as ordinary citizens.
High-level skeletons and intelligent machines all have independent personalities and their potential is no weaker than that of humans. The ten great priests of the Divine Ministry also include skeletons and intelligent machines. Therefore, in the upper zone, the social status of intelligent machines and skeletons has been further improved. ）(End of this chapter)
