Chapter 939: Chapter 939: Exploring the Mystery

The teleportation began, and a familiar sense of being drawn in overwhelmed Shi Hao as the scenery before him shifted, landing him in a new place.

In reality, this place wasn’t much different from before, still shrouded in dark clouds, with no sunlight in sight.

However, this was already a different celestial body.

Talun Star?

Shi Hao maneuvered the Immortal Abode to fly around, comparing it to the surrounding environment.

After a while, he finally confirmed that this was Talun Star.

Great, is there an Imperial Palace or something similar? He wanted to meet the king of this world.

However, Shi Hao searched through many cities but didn’t find anything resembling an Imperial Palace or a main base, not even a decent command center.

What is going on? How does the Dark Empire command these warriors?

Just a shout, and everyone follows?

Shi Hao was speechless, but this celestial body had indeed suffered a massacre, with nine out of ten cities completely empty, and not the kind of half-empty cities—these were complete Cities of the Dead, with no survivors.

This is too cruel.

The purpose of occupying vast territories is to rule, and what is the foundation of rule?

People.

If you kill all the people, what’s the point of having the whole world?

Therefore, Shi Hao couldn’t understand what the people of this Dark Empire were trying to do.

He arrived at the next city and discovered something different.

——Everyone in the city was herded out and boarded one sky ship after another under the watch of squads of Dark Warriors.

What, is this a mass migration?

The entire city was emptied as a result, with no one left behind.

Could it be that he guessed wrong before, and the Dark Empire didn’t massacre the city but instead relocated the people?

So, where did the people go?

Shi Hao controlled the Immortal Abode, landing on one person and following the large group onto the sky ship. Once fully loaded, the sky ship slowly ascended, heading westward.

Aboard the ship, everyone was in a state of fearful unease, not knowing where the people of the Dark Empire were taking them. The fear of the unknown made them shiver.

There were ordinary people as well as Martial Artists here, but the strongest among them were only at the Soul Nurturing stage. It seemed that all the higher-level Martial Artists had been killed.

Several days later, the sky ship slowly descended.

Wow, it’s magnificent.

Shi Hao left slightly ahead of time, only to see a giant plain below, filled with Dark Warriors forming into phalanxes, their military discipline extremely strict, with no sign of disorder, as if everyone were a single entity or puppets.

But Shi Hao knew that these could be considered half-alive, with a trace of vitality.

Extremely strange.

From the sky, he could see clearly that these Dark Warriors actually formed a circle, leaving open a broad plain in the middle with a giant entrance dug out, as if constructing an Imperial Tomb, or guarding something inside.

Could the king of the Dark Empire be here?

One sky ship after another landed, and the people onboard were driven down and escorted into the giant entrance by the Dark Warriors.

Were the people from other cities also brought here?

The issue is, although this place is not small, can it accommodate people from several cities?

Shi Hao manipulated the Immortal Abode, landing on another person.

Immortal Stones are limited, and once used up, they’re gone. So, it’s better to conserve energy when possible.

Following that person, Shi Hao passed through countless guards and arrived before that gigantic entrance.

This is truly enormous. Both height and width are about a hundred zhang. Standing beneath the entrance, one feels incredibly small, and the cave’s depth is immeasurable. It’s pitch dark inside with an eerie atmosphere, naturally inducing fear.

Everyone was already worried, and now facing such a cave of unknown circumstances, they were all anxious, hesitating to move forward.

Pssh!

Just then, a Dark Warrior drew his blade and decapitated someone trying to retreat, the blood gushing and spraying over nearby people.

This made everyone terrified, forcing them to start moving forward again.

"Hmm?" A voice suddenly rang out. Whoosh, a slender figure suddenly appeared from nowhere and reached out towards someone in the crowd.

She revealed herself, an incredibly enchanting woman with an hourglass figure and a snake-like waist, but her black hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her features.

"S-s-spare me, my lady!" The person she grabbed nervously stammered. He was just an ordinary person, perhaps having practiced some strength, but barely a Martial Artist.

The long-haired woman looked at him closely for a moment, then her eyes slightly narrowed, and poof, the person immediately turned into a rain of blood. Not only that, but even his clothes were destroyed.

She didn’t stop and pressed her hand again, further pulverizing the blood rain as if reducing it to nothingness.

Her power was terrifying, annihilating matter directly!

No, she wasn’t that powerful. It’s just that her strength was immense, grinding the person’s flesh, bones, and clothes into fine particles, undetectable by the naked eye.

Everyone was as quiet as a cicada in winter; this woman killed without a second thought, like a devil, who would dare oppose her?

What could rise in defiance accomplish? They were all ordinary people, how could they possibly resist such a devil?

The long-haired woman showed a puzzled expression. She had clearly sensed something unusual, but even after pulverizing the person, she couldn’t find any peculiarity. What was going on?

She was puzzled, and Shi Hao was utterly shocked.

——This woman could actually sense the Immortal Abode!

So terrifying and astonishing, he had already shrunk the Immortal Abode to the size of a mustard seed, attaching it to someone. Even Heaven Building Ladder level could be deceived, yet now, this woman, without even deliberately focusing, keenly sensed it.

What kind of terrifying power is this?

Luckily, the Immortal Abode was as small as a mustard seed, so small that even the Heaven Building Ladder couldn’t capture it. Thus, although formidable, this woman could not pulverize matter down to the size of a mustard seed, so naturally, she couldn’t find the Immortal Abode.

The long-haired woman hesitated for a moment, waved her hand, and said, "Continue onward."

Her voice was pleasant, like an immortal melody.

If she hadn’t casually turned someone to blood mist earlier, even if her appearance wasn’t visible, many might have considered her a Fairy.

But now... Hehe.

Upon her command, the Dark Warriors immediately wielded their swords to intimidate, urging the halted group to proceed into the depths of the cave.

"Strange, my Insightful Physique can detect all subtle changes. Clearly, I perceived something different about that person. Why, after pulverizing them to such an extent, is there still nothing found?"

The long-haired woman muttered to herself.

If Shi Hao could hear her mumbling, he would understand that she wasn’t stronger beyond the Heaven Building Ladder level but possessed a special physique.
