“My Lord, my Lord...”
“Brother Yang...”
...
After seeing the silhouette of Yang Ling, the people like the Corpse Wizard King and the Dark Dragon King rushed towards him in joy. Among them, was the Mermaid Evelyn, whose eyes were red.
After Yang Ling was pulled into the unfathomably deep cave by the crazed Pharaoh King Mobli, people like the Corpse Wizard King and Brent tried all means, in hopes of rescuing Yang Ling, who was not known to be dead or alive. Helpless after the cave closed up, with the ground hard beyond belief. After digging for three inches, they realized that there was only hard soul and loose rock, and there was no cave. It was strange beyond belief.
After getting nothing from half a day’s hard work, there was a bad feeling amongst the people. People like the Corpse Wizard King and Immet looked grave, and did not speak a word, just digging at the hard surface like crazy. If there were no tools, they dug with their hands. The Mermaid Evelyn on the other hand, just clutched anxiously at the Staff of Life that was hard to come by. Thinking of Yang Ling’s voice and smiling expression, her eyes went red, and she silently prayed for him.
The items on the Pharaoh King were definitely great treasures that were not to be missed. After not being able to get the Teleportation Portal, the various powerful factions were extremely interested in the Staff of Life that had dropped onto the ground.
Evelyn, with her quick reflexes, quickly grabbed the Staff of Life and hugged it tightly to herself, but was immediately surrounded by the various factions, a great battle waiting to erupt anytime. If not for the fact that the Corpse Wizard King had led the Magical Beasts Army in support of Evelyn and that the various powerful factions gave Yang Ling face and did not want to make him an enemy, Evelyn would definitely not be able to keep her precious Staff of Life.
Her wish might have been fulfilled and she had gotten the Staff of Life, but unexpectedly, Yang Ling who had been her great supporter...
After escaping from the collapsing Underground Tomb, and seeing the lucky survivors of Troops and adventurers teleporting out one by one, but with no sign of Yang Ling, Evelyn’s heart was suffering from waves of agony, and people like the Corpse Wizard King and the Dark Dragon King looked grave. Even though no one was willing to admit it, but everyone knew that under this kind of circumstances, Yang Ling had no chance of survival.
No one expected that just as the Underground Tomb was about to completely collapse, a miracle happened!
“Hehehe, the Pharaoh King wanted to drag me along to accompany him in his death, but then he found me too poor, so he let me escape again!” Looking at the overjoyed people around him, Yang Ling smiled.
This time round, even though he nearly died in the hands of the crazed Pharaoh King, it was a blessing in disguise and he got his hands on rich spoils of battle. There was not much more that needed to be said about how valuable the Teleportation Portal and the Ring of the Earth were, but just the accumulated fortunes like gem stones and top quality crystals of the generations of Pharaoh Kings were enough for him to enjoy. If he were to change them all into Purple Crystal Coins, he believed that not just in this lifetime, he would not even be able to finish spending it all in his next lifetime!
“Brother Yang Ling, what happened after you fell into the cave?” Seeing that Yang Ling had successfully escaped, people like Elder Klive and Stuart came closer at the same time, asking about the Pharaoh King’s whereabouts in a roundabout way, unable to let go of the Teleportation Portal.
“Aye, it’s embarrassing for me to speak of it!” Yang Ling was very clear what the Elder Klive really meant by his question. After shaking his head, he continued, “After being accidentally dragged into the unfathomably deep cave by the Pharaoh Kng Mobli, I was not able to react before hitting my head hard on a hard piece of rock. When I woke up, I discovered that I had fallen on top of a protruding stone slab. There was a unfathomably deep hole beside it. I guess the Pharaoh must have continued falling into the hole. Thankfully before the Underground Tomb had collapsed, a crack appeared near the stone slab. If not, I would really have been buried alive to accompany the crazed old fellow in death!”
According the Pharaoh King Mobli’s memories, the Teleportation Portal was the greatest weapon of the mysterious elder in the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons, back then. Not only could it allow one to freely come and go from the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons, it also had a powerful attacking ability. It was just that the past generations of Pharaoh Kings were unable to master it. With such a great treasure, if it were snatched from the Pharaoh King’s hands by all the various factions present, Yang Ling would not mind sharing it with them. But this was gotten by risking his own life, after many close shaves. Naturally, he would not hand it over so easily.
Kept falling down?
Thinking of the cave he could not detect with his Mental Energy, Faern and Elder Klive shook their heads bitterly. The Underground Tomb was full of traps everywhere. The entrance to the cave had just suddenly closed up, with not even a seam to be found. How could they go down to look the whereabouts of the Pharaoh King! Furthermore, the Underground Tomb had completely collapsed and was now a huge lake. They feared that wanting to find the whereabouts of the Pharaoh King and the Teleportation Portal would be more difficult than directly breaking through the obstacle of time and space!
Their mission, had completely failed!
People like Faern and Eder Klive looked grave. This time round, they brought along with them huge numbers of elites, looking to secure the legendary Teleportation Portal for sure. They did not expect that just as they were given the chance, the Teleportation just brushed past them, before they were sent to an unfathomably deep cave by the Pharaoh King, causing them to lose many of their men to injuries and death, with nothing to show for it!
“Brother Yang Ling, you must strengthen the defenses on your land in time to come. If you run into any trouble, you can come to our Fire God Mountain to stay for a period of time!” Looking at the huge lake from afar, Faern understood that there was no hope of digging the Teleportation Portal out, and decided to rapidly return to report back, after shaking his head.
But, while he might had not completed his mission this time round, he again got to witness Yang Ling’s capabilities. He had also used the Magic Teleportation Portals Yang Ling had previously set up to escape this time, and owed him a huge favor. As a sly old fox, he also knew that the Church would not let Yang Ling off once they had gotten the news, so before he left, he gave Yang Ling a friendly reminder.
“Lord Faern, don’t worry, I won’t stand on ceremony with you!” Thinking of the vengeance that was to come from the Church, Yang Ling forced a smile.
Even if they had a friendship of sorts, but without having concrete benefits for themselves, the Sect of the Fire God that Faern was in would definitely not engage in battle with the powerful Church for him. It was good enough for Faern to make a promise to shelter him when he had no other way out.
Should he just take the Teleportation Portal as a condition to get the other powerful factions to help him deal with the powerful Church?
Looking at the people like Faern and Elder Klive who were leaving one by one, and thinking of the purpose of their journey, Yang Ling had a sudden thought. But after hesitating, he decided to give up on that idea.
The Teleportation Portal was simply too valuable. Once the news had spread, he would definitely attract huge numbers of Experts with ill intentions. Even if the Dark Association and the Bellimore Family were to send heavily armed soldiers as guards, he feared that even they would not be able to prevent the endless streams of people wanting to seize the Teleportation Portal by force, and bring much hidden dangers and trouble to his Realm.
Besides, the Church was very powerful. It was still not known if the other various powerful factions would be willing to make an enemy out of the Church and help him defend against the Church’s furious vengeance, for the sake the Teleportation Portal. If that was the case, he might as well calm down and study the mystery behind the Teleportation Portal and the Ring of the Earth, and rapidly increase his own power!
Even though the Church was very powerful, Yang Ling believed that as long as he could set Restrictions and also set various ambushes and traps, there was a chance he could successfully go against the Church. If he really could not make it, he could move his people to overseas islands to hide out temporarily. Or he might as well just move them into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space.
After getting Yang Ling to reveal some information, people like Faern and Klive led their people and hastily left one after another. The luckily surviving Troops and adventurers also strode off soon after There were some who were lucky enough to get a few gem stones and crystals, and others who had nothing to show for except for a body full of injuries.
After seeing the various big factions leaving, Yang Ling fell silent in thought for a while before speaking, “Roke, send people to set up camp nearby. Then check if the Magical Teleportation Formation is in working order. We’ll head back to Jaboli after resting for a few hours!”
“Yes Sir!”
The Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez left on Yang Ling’s command. As the Copse Wizard King who used to have an awe-inspiring reputation on the Dimension of Dead Souls, he had stronger ability in moving troops and setting formations than Yang Ling. Even though he was a bit perverted and had an aesthetic sense different from every one else, but so far, he had not disappointed Yang Ling in whatever Yang Ling had instructed him to do.
“Brother Yang Ling, don’t move, you’re hurt!” Looking at Yang Ling’s pale face and the bloodstains on his body, the Mermaid Evelyn muttered a mantra, casting the Regeneration Spell. In an instant, a silver light flashed by, and Yang Ling felt more refreshed and energized.
After casting a few Object Assimilation Restriction over huge areas, and teleporting all the way out, Yang Ling’s Wizard Power and Mental Energy in his body was at the point of being completely depleted. So, even though he was worried that the Church’s Experts would be in pursuit of him, he also had no choice but to prepare to rest for a few hours. He did not think that the Regeneration Spell the Mermaid in the flowing white robe to cast would help him more or less recover his Mental Energy. It was better than swallowing a few Magical Beast Blood Orbs.
“Hehe no problem. These are all the bloodstains of the Pharaoh King!” After his Mental Energy had rapidly recovered, Yang Ling was full of energy and vigor. “I did not think that the same Regeneration , cast inside and outside the Underground Tomb, will be so different!”
“As long as there is water, us Sea Tribes will be the strongest. Yang Ling, come here, let me help you wash off the blood stains on your body!” The Mermaid Evelyn said, while digging out a clean and white handkerchief, then running to the lake to put in inside the water. After gently rubbing it in the water, and seeing that it was completely wet, she used it to wipe off the bloodstains and dirt on Yang Ling’s clothes. Her movements were gentle, delicate, with a hint of shyness that only young girls would show.
Her petite figure showed vaguely through the white robe. Maybe she was nervous, or maybe it was because she was walking around from time to time, but her firm and erect twin peaks would gently jiggle like little rabbits from time to time. In the Spring breeze, her jet black hair would dance in the wind, reflecting a pretty image in the crystal clear lake water. Green mountains and clear waters, black hair and white robe. It looked exceptionally exquisite and charming.
Looking at the silhouette of the two of them, the Dark Dragon King and gang and the party of the Sea Tribe all tactfully retreated to somewhere faraway.
“Tsk tsk, how fragrant. It smells more fragrant than the lake water!” Looking at the gentle Mermaid beside him and getting a whiff of her light virgin fragrance, Yang Ling smiled and sniffed through his nose exaggeratedly.
“It can’t be. How can lake water have a fragrance?” Looking at Yang Ling’s bare look, Evelyn’s face turned red.
“If it were a bunch of Troops standing here, the lake definitely would have no smell. But with our beautiful Miss Evelyn standing here, the lake water would smell nice!” Seeing the embarrassed Evelyn’s red face, Yang Ling smiled and paused, before continuing, “From now on, this lake shall be known as the Fragrant Lake!”
“No, this name sounds too awful!” After understanding that Yang Ling was only teasing her, Evelyn protested loudly.
Thinking about the Crystal coffins that he did not manage to bring out in time, Yang Ling subconsciously said, “Ok, then let’s call it the Crystal Lake!”
...
Just like this, the name Crystal Lake was chosen under the two people’s laughter. Rumor had it, that every full moon, a mysterious Crystal cave would appear at the bottom of the lake, attracting large numbers of tourists.
