Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Gongsun Hong Enters the Cave
Watching the people from Mi Yu Company leave, Gongsun Hong continued forward.
Gongsun Hong also knew his actions weren’t right. After all, they hadn’t truly reached Longkou; there was still some distance to cover, and even though a drone was used to film, that land was requisitioned for construction. He really had no say in the matter.
After some thought, Gongsun Hong sighed. Ximu City really had too many issues now, and he didn’t understand what was going wrong here.
Both of his deputy directors were now convalescing at home and hadn’t disclosed what their illnesses were. Thus, given these circumstances, all he could do was come and see things for himself.
Originally, Gongsun Hong thought this place was merely about geomantic Formations, which were popular overseas but customary and unremarkable domestically.
However, having personally experienced the situation in Shisong County, he realized that this place might indeed harbor an ancient relic.
Having left the Blessed Lands and Caves, their True Yuan as cultivators was constantly being depleted. Even though Magic Artifacts assisted them, there was still some consumption, and he wanted to return as soon as possible.
Yet, after studying the situation here, his thoughts were the same as everyone else’s: why ancient cultivators could cultivate in this Mortal Dust Realm. If they could obtain their heritage, perhaps everyone wouldn’t need to hide in the Blessed Lands and Caves anymore.
Living hidden in the Blessed Lands and Caves was an unimaginable boon for many, but for them, it was akin to imprisonment. It became increasingly difficult to cultivate there, and the Spiritual Energy was thinning. If this continued, who knew if everyone would perish there?
They had to clarify the situation here!
Gongsun Hong also resolved that he would, no matter what, clarify the situation here.
While he was pondering about Shisong County, Ji Yang spoke of the uniqueness of Longkou.
Upon hearing Ji Yang’s words, Gongsun Hong immediately believed there was a significant chance it was connected to the ancient cultivator mentioned earlier.
Originally, Gongsun Hong wanted to discreetly assess the situation but ended up being exploited.
While it was great that Ji Yang wanted to develop this impoverished county, he had indeed used Gongsun Hong!
Gongsun Hong began to harbor some dissatisfaction towards Ji Yang.
However, he could only suppress that dissatisfaction for now, thinking that if he made any discoveries, it would be fine; if not, his next step would be to trouble Ji Yang.
As he thought about these matters, he almost reached Longkou.
Instantly, a powerful chill surged towards him.
Gongsun Hong was invaded by this chill, his entire body turning ice cold.
Now Gongsun Hong somewhat believed there was an issue here. Being a cultivator himself and facing such coldness, he still found it hard to endure.
Could it be that Ji Yang was right, and there was something mysterious here?
Ji Yang had said he hadn’t ventured inside, but Gongsun Hong himself wanted to see what was inside.
Gongsun Hong began to circulate his Cultivation Technique, and the chill on his body significantly lessened.
Was this truly a hot spring?
Step by step, as he entered, Gongsun Hong discovered that this place indeed reflected the condition of Ice and Fire Dual Realm.
Walking very carefully inside, he seriously observed the path, noting that it seemed no one had entered here for many years.
What Gongsun Hong didn’t know was that Ji Yang had already reset the area to its former state, so even though he observed, he found no signs of outsiders having entered.
Thus, his suspicions towards Ji Yang and Wu Mi were now dispelled. For original chapters go to n0velfire.net
At that moment, Gongsun Hong saw something in the middle that resembled a Formation.
