Chapter 374: Surging Undercurrents

At this moment, a sentence kept echoing in his mind:

"My son, you must have already arrived at the Tatian Stronghold on the Canglan Continent."

"Previously, due to the existence of the Heart-Questioning Stone, there were many things I could not tell you. Now, it is time to tell you the truth."

"Our Jin Family has defected to the enemy!"

"Under the leadership of Yan Hengxing, the Human Race has no hope."

"The existence of the Tatian Stronghold has long been discovered by the Wind Spirit Clan. The great war will begin in a few days, and the stronghold is on the verge of destruction!"

"Now, immediately take the Jade Slip and go meet the rest of our Jin Family members in the Tatian Stronghold, as well as the trusted vassal experts."

"When the Wind Spirit Clan invades, you must unite, work from the inside and outside, breach the Tatian Stronghold, and seize control of the Space-Time Fissure."

"The Space-Time Fissure is at the bottom of the Tatian Stronghold, usually guarded by the Quasi-God Senior Lu Bai!"

"As long as you breach the Space-Time Fissure and use it as a token of allegiance, our Jin Family can successfully join the Wind Spirit Clan, preserving ourselves while also preserving the Human Race!"

"Below is the list of people you need to unite with: Jin Pingxiu, Jin Yuanliang, Jin Zishi…"

"No! My Jin Family is one of the three great hidden ancient clans of the Human Race. How could we commit such an act of defecting to the enemy!"

"Impossible! Father, you are lying to me, you are lying to me! Our Jin Family would not defect to the enemy!"

"The Tatian Stronghold has been discovered by the Wind Spirit Clan… This is not true, it cannot be. The Tatian Stronghold… is the only hope for our Human Race!"

"Ahhh! Heavens, I came to the Tatian Stronghold specifically to Cultivate and succeed, to resist the Wind Spirit Clan!"

"Why! Why!"

Jin Xiutian roared in his heart, tears and snot streaming down his face, his whole person appearing as if possessed by madness.

After the initial emotional outburst, he gradually calmed down and began to analyze his father's words.

How strong is the Wind Spirit Clan?

There is more than one Martial God, and rumors suggest there are even older monsters of the Martial Saint Realm!

And the Human Race only has one Martial God, Yan Hengxing!

The Tatian Stronghold, the last hope of the Human Race, had also been exposed.

Even if he, Jin Xiutian, were to pass on this information and the Tatian Stronghold prepared itself, it would still be unable to withstand the Wind Spirit Clan's attack and would inevitably be wiped out.

Once the Tatian Stronghold was destroyed, to block the Wind Spirit Clan, the Human Race would only be able to destroy the Space-Time Fissure on the other side as much as possible.

But regardless of success or failure, the Human Race would have no way out and would only be like turtles in a jar for the Wind Spirit Clan to catch!

"I… I am doing this for the Human Race…"

Finally, Jin Xiutian slowly closed his eyes, his hot tears slowly turning cold.

…

Meanwhile.

Far from the Colorful Poison Miasma branch stronghold, Su Lang arrived near an unremarkable mountain peak.

"The surrounding area is all primitive forest, it should have never been stepped foot in by anyone. This place will do."

Su Lang steered his long sword downwards, gradually approaching the mountain peak.

But just at this moment.

"Roar!!"

An angry roar came, and the forest at the foot of the mountain seemed to be hit by a tsunami as a giant beast of several hundred meters suddenly rushed out, staring fixedly at Su Lang.

This Vicious Beast resembled a huge green ox, but it was covered in a thick shell, and one could tell at a glance that its defensive power was astonishing.

Moreover, it had two sharp, long horns on its head that gleamed with a cold light, making one's hair stand on end.

"To think I could run into an S-Rank Fierce Beast just by picking a random mountain peak. This is equivalent to a Martial Emperor."

"No wonder the Tatian Stronghold requires one to pass the ninth level of the Training Tower and possess the strength of a Martial Emperor Rank before they can go out for training."

Su Lang pondered for a moment, then took out the you tian sword.

"Roar—!!"

Seeing the Quasi-God rank long sword in Su Lang's hand, the S-Rank Fierce Beast immediately felt a sense of crisis and could not help but let out a roar that masked its inner fear.

"It's just a pile of loot, what are you roaring about?"

Su Lang sneered, then slashed out with his sword, and the S-Rank Fierce Beast died instantly without even being able to let out a scream.

"Ding! You have obtained Lingxiao Sword-Horned Bull Beast Emperor Pill * 1, Lingxiao Sword-Horned Bull Beast Emperor Soul * 1, Lingxiao Sword-Horned Bull Sharp Horn * 2, Lingxiao Sword-Horned Bull Beast Armor * 26…"

"That counts as a bit of a harvest!"

Su Lang smiled and turned to leave—the traces of battle in the forest were difficult to clear, so he might as well find another place to settle down.

Soon, Su Lang found a narrow valley.

"This is the place. I'll dig a few hundred-meter-deep cave to crawl into, then use the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire to mask my aura; absolutely no one will be able to find me."

"Even if some demons or monsters really do find me through some strange method, I can just use Clone Replacement to return directly to the stronghold. Hehe, how wonderful!"

Su Lang grinned, dug a deep Immortal Cave, and buried himself inside.

Finally, the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire spread out, clearing away all residual auras.

"It's time!"

Su Lang's eyes lit up brightly. "System! Dispatch all my Clones and Treasure-Seeking Flying Squirrels!"
