CHAPTER 905: CHAPTER 643: SPECULATION (PART 2)

So before leaving, he had already relocated everyone in Changpan Valley.

As for how to do it, it was actually quite simple.

Back at Si Hou, Xiang Beifei’s grandfather, to protect those skeletons, placed their dwelling within the formation of Hou, creating a separate space.

This inspired Xiang Beifei, who had been carving that breath soil block for some time, in order to cultivate a space within the block formed by the breath soil.

He was imitating this ability of the [R-level Reclamation System].

Before attending university, while helping Lu Hong capture criminals, he witnessed a criminal with the ability to reclaim space, who nearly escaped by creating a space on chewing gum.

That criminal wasn’t very powerful; his use of the [Reclamation System] wasn’t particularly impressive, as he could only open up a small space.

But Xiang Beifei was different. As the controller of the system, he could now open up an extremely large space, enough to accommodate the population of over ten thousand in Changpan Valley.

To make things easier, the residents’ houses in Changpan Valley were directly moved in. Uncle Liang said that the old banyan tree at the village entrance had been there for years and he couldn’t bear to leave it, so Xiang Beifei moved the tree in after checking it.

Now Uncle Liang and Jiang Shan were inside the block, and Xiang Beifei basically had the entire population of Changpan Valley with him!

This was a massive project. For ordinary System Awakeners, it would take an immense amount of spiritual power to create such a large system space on a stone the size of a palm. The more living beings a system space accommodates, the greater the burden on the user.

Even experts in the Immortal Realm might not be able to accomplish this!

Otherwise, Hanxia wouldn’t have been so easily besieged back then.

Even Daoist Qingde, when opening up Si Hou back then, used the power of Hou to maintain that space, allowing skeletons to live there, but that space couldn’t be taken out.

But Xiang Beifei was different. Being a Taoist Body and the ancestor of the system, he could still manage to create such a large space due to his special abilities.

The power source to maintain this system space came from various powerful spiritual power crystals; he happened to have no shortage of heavenly connection realm spiritual power crystals.

The Meat-Winged Monster only controlled the power of the Yellow Springs; they had no idea humans could awaken all sorts of abilities and wouldn’t have thought Xiang Beifei used such means to move the humans of Changpan Valley.

The Eternal Night Demon King would never have dreamed that the humans of Changpan Valley, whom he was angry about retrieving, were actually here in the Yellow Springs, merely ten meters away from him.

"Awoo!"

Erha laughed happily. It was now just waiting for the Eternal Night Demon King to hurry away from the Yellow Springs, head to Changpan Valley to investigate, and search for the whereabouts of the humans, so that it could unleash its power, controlling thunder and lightning.

Through its control of the dark trees, Erha could cause chaos on this Hell Island!

Xiang Beifei was also watching the furious Eternal Night Demon King from a distance, waiting for him to leave so that he could rescue people and escape.

——

"Send other clansmen over immediately, dig three feet deep if necessary, but find those livestock humans for me!"

The Eternal Night Demon King was extremely enraged now, his appearance twisted to deformation, eyes glowing coldly and sinisterly, staring intently at Changpan Valley in the Moon Pupil.

"Yes, at once, my subordinate will do it."

Zhi Shiyi didn’t dare to delay, immediately rushed into the sky, sending a signal to alert all the Meat-Winged Monsters in the Moon God Palace.

The Eternal Night Demon King had already withdrawn his hand from Changpan Valley and fell into deep thought.

"To have such a great ability to unknowingly rescue the humans of Changpan Valley, this person must be an expert in the Immortal Realm! Could it be Daoist Qingde?"

The Eternal Night Demon King muttered to himself, pondering carefully over the matter.

But then he denied it.

"No, if that old thief Qingde had discovered our hiding spot and saw the humans of Changpan Valley, with his temper, he would definitely have come to Moon God Palace to destroy all the clan members; it shouldn’t be him!"

The Eternal Night Demon King certainly knew Daoist Qingde, and he had a very deep impression of this powerful human expert. When he was seeking the remnants of Hanxia, it was Daoist Qingde who severely wounded him.

Suddenly, he recalled the movement he had inadvertently detected just now in the Yellow Springs.

"Could that not have been an illusion?"

The Eternal Night Demon King closed his eyes, a force surged from his body like a roaring tide, sweeping out and covering every corner of the Yellow Springs Sea!

Buzz!

For a moment, all the Yellow Springs creatures in the boundless sea were shivering in fear.

After a long time, the Eternal Night Demon King finally withdrew this force.

He still hadn’t found anything unusual.

"Since only the human race was rescued, the other party must be one of the Human Race. Not acting immediately perhaps indicates some concern, or maybe this Human’s power isn’t strong enough to confront me."

The Eternal Night Demon King considered many possibilities.

He coldly laughed, then slowly followed the path on the ground, walking step by step towards Helian Zheng.

Helian Zheng lay amidst the woods, already crippled, without hands, feet, or eyes, unable to accurately perceive the outside world. Even as the Eternal Night Demon King approached, he didn’t notice.

The Eternal Night Demon King stepped onto Helian Zheng’s chest.

Helian Zheng’s body trembled painfully.

"Tell me, the person who rescued the humans of Changpan Valley, did they come to find you after hearing about you? That’s why he didn’t launch a large-scale action against us?"

The Eternal Night Demon King spoke to the crippled old man lying on the ground, considering his words as self-talk.

——

Nearby, Xiang Beifei was also very surprised to hear this.

"As expected, becoming a Demon King isn’t simple!"

He furrowed his brows.

The Eternal Night Demon King was an old monster who had lived for over a thousand years. Being someone who sacrificed himself to the Yellow Springs, he was even more terrifying than ordinary Immortal Realm beings.

The Immortal Realm allows one to live forever without severe injury, but it doesn’t mean they can’t be killed.

Over three thousand years ago, the Demon Tentacle King of the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage and the Eternal Night Demon King attacked Hanxia together. Daoist Qingyang’s one move of "burning Yang" incinerated both of them to ashes!

The Demon Tentacle King was killed, but the Eternal Night Demon King recovered after millennia.

Such an old monster like the Eternal Night Demon King, who lived long, did not become senile but rather had a very clear mind. When something happened in Changpan Valley, he didn’t immediately go to check but carefully thought over the whole situation, speculating whether someone would come to rescue Helian Zheng.

This made Xiang Beifei somewhat troubled!

Because, as the Eternal Night Demon King speculated, he indeed intended to rescue Helian Zheng!

——

The Eternal Night Demon King stepped on Helian Zheng’s chest, then squatted down, saying, "You’re quite a tough guy, being tortured for ten years and still not opening your mouth to tell me where the surviving humans of Hanxia are hiding."

He only knew the general direction of Jiuzhou at that time, but the wasteland was too vast. A slight deviation in route could lead to a detour of ten thousand eight hundred miles.

Back then, they were searching extensively, but before he got close to Jiuzhou, he was struck down by Daoist Qingde.

Over the years, he gradually recovered from his injuries, capturing Helian Zheng in hopes of extracting the location of Jiuzhou from him, targeting Jiuzhou accurately, but Helian Zheng never spoke.

"I just felt some movement in the Yellow Springs; that person should have come here. Who would go through the trouble to rescue you?" the Eternal Night Demon King slowly asked.

Helian Zheng gradually understood the words of the Eternal Night Demon King. Though he had been blinded and muted, with his limbs severed, his hearing remained intact. Hearing the words of the Eternal Night Demon King, he was slightly stunned!

——Would anyone come to save him? Could this be true?

Hope surged in Helian Zheng’s heart. Who was this person?

Could it be him?

A figure appeared in Helian Zheng’s mind.

However, the Eternal Night Demon King’s next words immediately extinguished the hope that had ignited in him.

"Four or five years ago, there were two formidable individuals, but I led them away. They neither discovered the humans of Changpan Valley nor found this place. I still recognize their presence; it definitely wasn’t them. Then, who could it be?"

The Eternal Night Demon King reached out to touch the black tree growing on Helian Zheng.

Helian Zheng was filled with despair.

What difference did it make who it was?

He knew his situation; trapped deep in the Yellow Springs, it was almost impossible for humans to come here.

After all, seven or eight years ago, Xiang Tianxing had passed by here!

But he hadn’t discovered him.
