He was now ten times more powerful than before the storm.He stood up and walked to Bai Ling’er’s side.
The little girl had fallen into a deep sleep.
The golden light on her body had dispersed.
But her body had indeed grown significantly.
Her breathing had become longer and stronger.
Luo Qingchen reached out and touched her small face.
Fortunately, there seemed to be no danger for the time being.
But this transformation had consumed a lot from her.
It might take a long time for her to awaken.
“We need to find a safer place.”
Luo Qingchen said softly.
This world was far too dangerous.
Unknown demonic cultivators, ferocious raiders, terrifying star beasts, and the sudden law storm.
They were like a lone boat floating in the endless stormy sea.
At any moment, they could be shattered by a giant wave.
They needed a true safe haven.
After the law storm had passed, the entire world seemed to have been cleansed anew.
The land was leveled by several feet.
Those strangely shaped plants had vanished without a trace.
In their place was a vast, barren wasteland.
Luo Qingchen, carrying the sleeping Bai Ling’er, walked with Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan across this newly born wilderness.
Their expressions carried a hint of bewilderment and caution.
Bai Ling’er’s transformation had added a layer of concern in their hearts.
They urgently needed to find an absolutely safe hiding place.
So that Bai Ling’er could go through this transformation peacefully.
And also for themselves, to take a good breath.
After the law storm’s baptism, Luo Qingchen’s senses had become unprecedentedly keen.
He could clearly capture every thread of energy flowing in the air.
He could also hear the breathing sounds of surviving insects deep underground.
They had walked for an entire day.
Just when Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan were about to collapse.
Luo Qingchen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He raised his head and gazed into the distance at an enormous Flat Peak Mountain.
“There’s someone there.”
He said softly.
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan followed his gaze.
That Flat Peak Mountain seemed quite ordinary.
No different from the other surrounding mountains.
But in Luo Qingchen’s perception.
The inside of the mountain was full of hidden secrets.
He could sense countless weak life signals gathering inside the mountain.
Moreover, the arrangement of the mountain’s rock walls had an artificial pattern.
It was a camouflaged large settlement.
The three exchanged looks, seeing a glimmer of hope and tension in each other’s eyes.
Friend or foe?
A new crisis or the safe haven they’ve been searching for?
No matter what, they must investigate.
The three restrained their aura, cautiously approaching the Flat Peak Mountain.
When they were still several miles away from the mountain.
A sudden change occurred.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dozens of figures flickering with energy light emerged silently from the mountain’s rock wall.
They were the sentinels of this settlement.
Their reaction was extremely swift.
As soon as Luo Qingchen and the others entered their alert range, they were immediately discovered.
The sentinels were tall, slender humanoid creatures.
Their skin had a healthy bronze glow.
Covered with faint blue luminous patterns resembling star tracks.
They held energy spears crafted from some kind of beast bone.
Their eyes sharp and filled with vigilance.
They surrounded Luo Qingchen and the others.
Emitting a series of sounds that were unintelligible to Luo Qingchen and his group.
The sounds were short and powerful.
Full of warning.
“Don’t make any moves.”
Luo Qingchen lowered his voice, advising the two women behind him.
He could sense that these natives didn’t intend to act immediately.
They were more likely testing and observing.
Luo Qingchen slowly raised his hands.
Indicating that he had no weapons and meant no harm.
Then, he pointed to Bai Ling’er, asleep in his arms.
He then pointed to his side, where Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan appeared pale-faced.
He tried to convey his intention using the simplest body language.
We mean no harm.
We need help.
Our companion is injured.
The indigenous sentinels watched Luo Qingchen’s actions, but the vigilance in their eyes did not lessen.
Instead, it grew stronger.
Their gaze fell upon Bai Ling’er in Luo Qingchen’s arms.
When they saw Bai Linger’s brow marked with a faintly glowing golden symbol.
Their eyes instantly changed.
From wary to a complex mixture of awe and hostility.
A sentinel, who appeared to be the leader, suddenly raised his spear.
The spearhead pointed directly at Luo Qingchen.
The syllables from his mouth grew more urgent and filled with threat.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
A conflict was about to erupt.
Just at that moment.
An elderly but wise voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s mind.
“Stop.”
That voice did not transmit through the air.
Instead, it directly affected their Divine Souls.
It was a form of spiritual communication that Luo Qingchen had never encountered.
The sentinels who were poised for conflict immediately lowered their weapons upon hearing this voice.
They bowed deeply, showing an extremely respectful expression on their faces.
An elderly figure slowly walked out from a hidden entrance in the mountain wall.
It was an elder.
His body was hunched.
His skin, like dried bark, was full of the wrinkles of age.
Yet his eyes were bright, like the stars in the sky.
As if capable of penetrating everything in the world.
He was the tribe’s Elder.
Elder Jianan.
Elder Jianan’s gaze slowly swept across the three of them.
His gaze lingered on Luo Qingchen for a long time.
Seemingly probing the unique Chaotic Power within him.
Finally, his gaze fell upon Bai Ling’er.
A trace of unspeakable excitement and… sorrow flashed in his eyes.
“Outsiders.”
Elder Jianan’s voice resonated once again in the minds of Luo Qingchen and the others.
“You don’t belong here.”
“Your power is very peculiar.”
“You are also not servants of ‘Shadow.’
Luo Qingchen’s heart suddenly stirred.
Shadow.
He had heard this term before.
The Star Spirit had mentioned it before dissipating.
“Honorable Elder.”
Luo Qingchen attempted to respond in the same manner.
“We come from a distant world.”
“Accidentally stranded here.”
“We mean no harm, only seeking a place to settle.”
Elder Jianan remained silent for a long time.
Seemingly contemplating the authenticity of Luo Qingchen’s words.
Eventually, he slowly nodded.
“The people of Jianan do not reject lost travelers.”
“But your arrival may bring disaster upon us.”
“Follow me.”
After speaking, he turned around and headed toward that hidden entrance.
The sentinels also made way for them.
Yet their eyes remained filled with hostility.
Luo Qingchen carried Bai Ling’er, following behind Elder Jianan.
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan stuck closely to his sides.
They passed through the entrance.
The scene before them suddenly opened up.
The mountain’s interior had been hollowed out.
Forming an enormous underground space.
Countless buildings were built into the mountain, layered upon layer.
Crystal Stones emitting gentle light were embedded into the dome, like the stars above, illuminating the entire settlement.
Countless Jianan tribespeople lived and worked within the settlement.
