MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1380 - 355: Arrival at the Yongning Domain
The Holy King is dead?!
This news made the two Ancient Titans feel their hair stand on end. The supreme king who dominated the 13th Domain for endless ages is dead?!
Seeing their astonishment causing them to forget about their expressions, the elder sighed and said, "Anyway, we, the remnants of the Ming Family, are already on the wanted list of the Six Great Families. If you enter the city rashly, you will definitely be captured and executed on the spot. Luckily, you were fortunate enough to meet me."
Hearing this, the two felt a wave of fear. Had they not noticed the unfamiliar faces of the City Defense Army and entered the city rashly, they would surely have been apprehended and killed immediately.
Almost walked into the gates of hell, they did.
Thinking of this, the two exchanged a glance and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do next, boss?"
"Although the Ming Family has been destroyed, many disciples have managed to escape. We have set up a base in the wild. The rebellion of the Six Great Families will surely aim to annex other Titan family powers. By then, we can unite these forces and launch a counterattack."
As he spoke, the elder put on his cloak again, turned around, and continued toward the depths of the wild forest. "Follow me."
As the figures of the three gradually disappeared under the cover of the forest, the chaos of the 13th Domain began to unfold.
If the downfall of the Ming Family was unexpected, then the other five Titan great families were more challenging to deal with.
After all, the entire 13th Domain had only four major passes, and in Yongtian Pass, there was more than just the Ming Family stationed; other Titan families were also stationed there.
It’s just that the Ming Family was the first to be wiped out.
With the destruction of the Ming Family, this massive upheaval had already alerted the Yun Family, who was also in Yongtian Pass.
After eliminating the Ming Family, the Six Great Families then turned their attention to the Yun Family. Unfortunately, the Yun Family was already prepared and gathered the power of their family to fight their way out of Yongtian Pass, preserving most of their strength.
With the Yun Family’s escape, the news of the rebellion of the Six Great Families could no longer be suppressed and quickly spread throughout the 13th Domain.
The Qin Army cultivated by the Holy King in the Holy City also faced a split due to the death of the Holy King.
Some remained loyal to the Ten Thousand Mountains Titan God King, seeking revenge for the Holy King, while another part of the Qin Army remained loyal to their families, forming a standoff in the Holy City.
However, due to the blockade of the Holy City by the Six Great Families, the Qin Army loyal to the Holy King was bound to be wiped out sooner or later.
The internal chaos of the 13th Domain led to a temporary cessation of Ancient Titan intervention across the twelve domains of the Dark Continent. Without the interference of the Ancient Titans, the struggle for the empire throne on the Dark Continent also began to slow down.
There’s no choice. Ever since the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, almost all major domains of the Dark Continent have experienced bloody large-scale wars, resulting in a significant population decline. Without a hundred to two hundred years of recovery, it’s difficult to sustain more warfare.
There’s no denying, war indeed is the fastest way to deplete population.
Now, except for the Yongning Domain, which remains unchanged, other major domains have experienced a gender imbalance reaching a ratio of nine to one.
To accelerate population growth, almost all major domains have issued mandates requiring every adult male to marry at least three women, with the requirement that their wives must conceive within a year, or face severe penalties.
Don’t go out unless necessary, just stay home and have children. The state will take care of them, relieving parents of worries and the pressures of buying a house and living. With the subsidies provided for having children, a family can definitely live comfortably.
War may have reduced the population, but it has not diminished wealth; instead, it has concentrated wealth in the hands of the victors, so the reproduction plan is set to be implemented throughout the Dark Continent for the next century.
After a sleepless and rushed journey, Lu Hong finally entered Yongning Domain.
To find Qin Hong more quickly, Lu Hong did not hesitate to expose his own power, posing as a beacon in the night to attract Qin Hong’s attention.
This move, in fact, wasn’t ideal. If a significant number of Ancient Titans were searching for Qin Hong in Yongning Domain, Lu Hong’s actions were undoubtedly drawing their attention. Yet, Lu Hong had no choice because of his apprentice and the Hidden Guard.
This behavior also caught the attention of the local Martial Gods of Yongning Domain.
Soon, three Martial Gods from Yongning Domain arrived within a kilometer of Lu Hong, watching him with caution.
"You’re not from Yongning, are you?," one of the Martial Gods inquired.
"I am Lu Hong from the Great Qin Empire," he replied.
"Lu Hong? You’re the Da Qin Emperor’s Master?" Although Yongning Domain doesn’t participate in external wars, choosing instead to close its doors, they are not ignorant of world events.
Lu Hong, the first to slay a Martial God, was well-known across the realm.
Seeing that it was Lu Hong, this top-tier Martial God, the three Martial Gods of Yongning Domain immediately cupped their hands in salute, "I am Ye An of the Ye Dynasty from Yongning Domain."
"I am Ye Wudu of the Ye Dynasty from Yongning Domain."
"I am Man Sheng of the Ye Dynasty from Yongning Domain."
The three greeted Lu Hong, asserting their identities.
Lu Hong as well cupped his hands, indicating respect, "Greetings to the three of you."
After exchanging pleasantries, Ye An spoke, "What brings the esteemed Lu Wushen to Yongning Domain prompting such an alarming spectacle? Your actions have frightened many in our domain, prompting our inquiry. If Lu Wushen requires assistance, we at the Ye Dynasty, being one of the top forces in Yongning Domain, would gladly lend a hand, even if it involves searching for a needle in a haystack."
In reaction, Lu Hong thanked them, "I appreciate the offer. However, this matter is not suitable for you to know about, but rest assured, my entry into Yongning Domain won’t pose any harm, I guarantee this."
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s assurance, the three understood that it likely pertained to classified matters. Exchanging a glance, Ye An spoke again, "Very well, we shall not disturb Lu Wushen further. However, should you require anything, do visit us at Ye Imperial City. We will support you with all our might."
With that, the trio courteously saluted again and took their leave.
As Lu Hong watched them depart, he thought, despite their courteous words, it remained uncertain whether they would secretly monitor him. Yet, this sort of surveillance wouldn’t offend him—it was rather foolish not to keep an eye on a Martial God trampling across a foreign land.
However, tailing Lu Hong would prove quite challenging, as Lu Hong’s mastery of Simulated Space Law allows him to escape directly.
After bidding farewell to the trio, Lu Hong continued a series of short space jumps to expand his search area.
After two full days, Lu Hong finally received a faint response.
It was the aura of Qin Hong, incredibly weak.
Guided by this aura, Lu Hong arrived at the subterranean depths of a massive mountain range.
Then, unexpectedly, he discovered Qin Hong taking refuge beneath the mountains, hiding was a Xiong shou over a thousand meters long.
Fortunately, the Xiong shou was in hibernation and wouldn’t awaken without any threats to its safety.
Lu Hong approached Qin Hong, speaking, "You do know there’s a giant under you that might just be asleep. Didn’t you notice?"
Hearing this, Qin Hong first saluted Lu Hong, "Disciple greets Master."
Then he smiled, "Disciple was aware, but it was precisely because the Xiong shou’s aura could mask mine that I chose this place."
Lu Hong regarded Qin Hong intently, "Seems like you’ve been quite strained."
Qin Hong nodded, "Yes, the Ancient Titans in the 13th Domain have been relentlessly hunting me. My flight to Yongning Domain was a last resort."
Seeing Qin Hong’s worn appearance, Lu Hong felt his heartache as a master and said, "I have been absent for fifty years, do you blame me?"
Qin Hong shook his head, "Master surely had important matters to attend to during your absence. I only regret my inability to aid you, Master. How could I blame you?"
Lu Hong felt warmth at Qin Hong’s words, then sighed, "Back when I attacked Ming Ze, the lack of military response to encircle the two guards seemed suspicious, so I ordered them to withdraw. As for me, I was besieged by the Jin Family of the Ancient Titans; one called Jin Wudi was formidable."
