Gulp.
The man with a long chubby face swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He was cold sweating heavily. Without a doubt, it was this Martial Master right in front of him that killed his companions. However, he was only a Martial Master. How could he have killed Martial Spirits? And he killed three in one second. The man did not even see how the enemy had acted.
How was it possible?
Was he really just a Martial Master?
He looked at Xiao Luo, terrified, with the roasted meat that smelled wonderful in his mouth, and he dared not move. In a trembling voice, he asked, “Who…who the hell are you? We are from the Black Blood Mercenary Corps.”
Zoom!
The Dragon Saber flew across the sky in an extremely horrifying arc. The tip of the knife was pointed against the vital part of his neck. The energy given off by the knife pierced through his skin easily; hence, he could not go on speaking. The man with a long chubby face was looking at Xiao Luo in a terrified manner. Even in a fight against exotic beasts, he had never felt being so close to death as at this moment.
“I ask questions. You answer them,” Xiao Luo said plainly.
“Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.”
The man kept bobbing his head in agreement, afraid if he did not do that quickly enough, that weird black knife would go through his neck.
“Where is the sacred place of the Light Clan?” Xiao Luo asked.
The sacred place of the Light Clan?
The man was stupefied. That guy did not even know where the sacred place of the Light Clan was! Where on earth was he from?
However, he came to his senses very soon. He replied, “Yes, Boss. The sacred place of the Light Clan is in the north, more than five million kilometers away from here.”
Strength was what mattered most. He had to give in to Xiao Luo. He even called the latter boss.
More than five million kilometers away from here?
Xiao Luo frowned. Even the equatorial circumference of Earth is only a little more than forty kilometers. It was unbelievable that the sacred place of the Light Clan was more than five million kilometers away from here. Was the Arcana Land that expansive?
“Are you sure it is more than five million kilometers, not five hundred kilometers?”
“Boss, I mean it. It is more than five million kilometers indeed. It’s actually nothing. It’s tens of thousands of kilometers from the south end to the north end of the Forest of Infinite Edge.”
The man smiled bitterly. Then he added, “The Arcana Land is so vast that average people won’t be able to reach its end even when they spend their whole life trying to walk across it. It’s said only the Four Kings and the Holy Lady of the Light Clan know how big the Arcana Land is. They reached its edge zone before.”
Xiao Luo’s frown deepened. He knew for sure this man could not have lied to him. Five million kilometers… Even if he kept flying at full speed and never stopped to eat or drink, it would still take him about half a year to reach the sacred place of the Light Clan.
How could it be?
This was something that he had never imagined. This Arcana Land was too wide. It was completely unexpected. No wonder the Arcana Land would not invade the Original World. The Original World was so small. Compared to the Arcana Land, it was just a tiny place and severely contaminated. The spiritual energy was consequently very thin. He would be surprised if the Light Clan wanted to invade it.
“Mother ducker, is the Arcana Land so big?”
The Duck Emperor felt its head aching. It was not only far away, but millions of kilometers away. If they wanted to go to the sacred place of the Light Clan, it would be more difficult than going to space.
“The Arcana Land is ruled by the Light Clan. I bet they must have devised a faster way to reach that remote region?” Xiao Luo asked the man with a long chubby face.
The man was even more confused. He wondered whether that man and that duck were from the Arcana Land, because if they were, it was impossible that they knew nothing about that.
However, he chose to answer Xiao Luo honestly, “Yes. It’s via transmitting formations!”
“Transmitting formations?” Xiao Luo’s eyes lit up.
“Exactly. Transmitting formations are everywhere in the Arcana Land. They can transport people to another place in a second. You can cross tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.” The man told Xiao Luo everything about the Arcana Land that people were supposed to know.
Xiao Luo asked him immediately, “Where is the nearest transmitting formation?”
“In the Ziyue Cave Heaven.”
The man explained in detail, “The Light Clan uses sects and schools to govern the Arcana Land. There are thousands of sects and schools reporting to them. And those are responsible for administering the people living in the areas they govern, as well as the transmitting formations.”
“You mean the sect that governs this area is Ziyue Cave Heaven?” Xiao Luo clarified.
“Yeah. Yes.”
The man nodded. He believed this man in front of him was absolutely not from the Arcana Land. Otherwise, he would not have been ignorant of such widely known things.
“Where is the Ziyue Cave Heaven?” Luo inquired further.
“Go towards the north. About one thousand kilometers, and you will reach the Ziyue Cave Heaven,” the man directed embarrassedly.
Xiao Luo had got the information he needed, but he did not kill the man. Shifting the Dragon Saber away, he said plainly, “Go away!”
“Thank you for not killing me. Thank you for not killing me.”
The man felt like he had been granted amnesty as soon as he heard those two words. He certainly would not have the time to take care of his companions’ bodies. He left as quickly as possible.
For Xiao Luo, letting the man go was far away from releasing a tiger back to the mountains, or, in other words, laying up trouble for himself. Those people were too weak to make him worry. Even if a big group of them came, he would be able to kill them with one slash. If one slash was not enough, two would certainly do.
What worried him at this moment was the distance of over five million kilometers. Even though he could use transmitting formations, he gathered there could not be any nonstop transmitting formation to the sacred place of the Light Clan.
He supposed the transmitting formations leading to the Arcana Land should be like the transport networks in the Original World, which ramified all over the world. Nonstop trips were only possible for short distances. For longer distances, there would be stopovers. For a distance as far as over five million kilometers, there might be a lot of stopovers. As a result, despite those transmitting formations, he was afraid it would still take him half a month at least to reach the sacred place of the Light Clan. And that was just the most conservative estimation.
However, he could not wait. He wished he could arrive at the sacred place of the Light Clan right away!
With his brows furrowed, he turned his head to look at the Duck Emperor.
“Goddamned jerk, why are you looking at me? I don’t know any magic to transport you to the sacred place of the Light Clan in one second.” Meeting Xiao Luo’s eyes, the Duck Emperor could not help but shiver, because it always spelled danger in his look.
“I want to enter the Chaos Dimension again,” Xiao Luo expressed.
It was not difficult for the Duck Emperor to guess what Xiao Luo was planning on. Touching its chin, it said, “In theory, from the Chaos Dimension, it’s possible to travel through spatial obstacles to reach any corner of the Arcana Land. But goddamned jerk, you must know that the Arcana Land is vast. What if you are farther away from the sacred place of the Light Clan after another try? It might be more than five million kilometers. It might even be tens of millions of kilometers. Think about that. It’s scary.”
Xiao Luo gulped after hearing that. That method was not reliable enough indeed. He probably would be wasting his energy in the end.
So, was travelling through transmitting formations the only way to reach the sacred place of the Light Clan?
Xiao Luo was lost in thought. He was not a gambler. In most cases, he would only do what he was sure about.
However, since he could not control his destination from the Chaos Dimension precisely, the King of Swords from the Light Clan should not be able to do that either. In that case, maybe Su Li was still on her way to the sacred place of the Light Clan, so she had not arrived there at all.
If the King of Swords had not been lucky enough, he could have been tens of millions of kilometers away from the sacred place of the Light Clan after arriving in the Arcana Land. However, this certainly was just the most optimistic assumption. At this point, the only thing he could do was to refrain from making optimistic assumptions.
