Chapter 1082: The Ghost Region in the Future
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Pingsha Valley was about 300 miles away from their place of departure.
When they set off, it was heavily raining; when they arrived at Pingsha Valley, it was still cloudy; however, the rain had eased off. It was only drizzling.
The Iron-Dragon Airboat flew across the clouds and slowly descended from tens of thousands meters high. When it reached hundreds of meters high above the ground, it slowly moved forward.
Zhang Tie had convened all of his disciples in the airboat. All the male disciples were still wearing a set of military clothes which were specially designed for field operations. However, those female disciples had put on beautiful dresses. After dressing up, they looked beautiful, elegant, coquettish and cute in front of Zhang Tie's eyes.
All the female disciples were glancing at Bai Suxian and Zhang Tie silently.
Bai Suxian's beautiful look, coquetry and dress were imitated by many female disciples.
Those careful female disciples found that the relationship between Bai Suxian and their master was a bit different than before. It was hard to describe that feeling. They felt that Bai Suxian and Fire Dragon Hermit had a silent privity; especially the soulful and coquettish eyes of Bai Suxian when she saw their master. Additionally, their master's eyes also turned tender when he saw Bai Suxian. They looked like a couple.
"Are we in Pingsha Valley?" Bai Suxian muttered.
The airboat had already entered Pingsha Valley and was slowly flying above Pingsha Valley. They could see everything in Pingsha Valley from the airboat. Not only Zhang Tie but all of his apprentices were also watching this place with their eyes widely opened.
In the drizzle, it looked tranquil in Pingsha Valley. The entire Pingsha Valley was covered in the drizzle as if no battle had happened here. In the rain, the woods on both hillsides of Pingsha Valley were vigorous and verdant. Reclaimed farmlands crisscrossed in Pingsha Valley.
If nobody told them that they were in Pingsha Valley, they could not imagine what a terrifying event had happened here one month ago.
When they watched it carefully, they could still find the traces of that terrifying event more or less.
On the day the event broke out in Pingsha Valley, the entire Bi'an Camp in Zhongzhou Province had almost sacrificed. None of the native farmers and commoners could survive. Therefore, it looked deadly silent in Pingsha Valley. No living beings could survive in the crisscrossed farmlands, including domestic animals. There was no smoke in the looming villages at all. There were still faintly messy traces left by the disordered soldiers in the farmlands where grew vegetables and grains. As nobody took care of the crops, some weeds had grown out.
Perhaps too many people had died here, plus that it was cloudy today, many disciples of Zhang Tie felt that it was gloomy and chilly in Pingsha Valley.
Unsurprisingly, they saw another airboat suspending in the rain in front of them. It seemed that they were not the only group of people who felt like paying a visit here.
Being much smaller than Iron-Dragon Airboat, that airboat was over 100 m in length. It was golden all over. There was a round sign of black tiger's head on the airboat which indicated the identity of the owner of this airboat. However, as Taixia Country was too large, Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and the other people on Iron-Dragon Airboat couldn't identify the identity of the owner of this airboat.
However, there was one point that they could confirm, namely, those in this airboat were definitely not commoners.
The ground in Pingsha Valley was both plain and spacious. In the sky, Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian and his disciples had already seen a deserted castle and a huge hole on the ground of the castle which led to the underground. The golden airboat was suspending above there.
Compared to that golden airboat, undoubtedly Iron-Dragon Airboat which Zhang Tie won from Taiyi Fantasy Sect was more frightening.
Watching Iron-Dragon Airboat slowly drawing closer to them, the golden airboat even moved a bit away from the huge hole so as to show their respect. However, Iron-Dragon Airboat didn't draw too close to them. It suspended a few meters above the ground when it was over 200 m away from that golden airboat.
Thankfully, the ground in Pingsha Valley was plain. The periphery of the castle was surrounded by farmlands where was spacious enough to hold Iron-Dragon Airboat. Otherwise, such an over 500 m long giant could not be easily parked.
"Let's go down there!" Zhang Tie called all the others.
Many disciples of Zhang Tie came from major clans in Northeast Military Region. However, they didn't have a convenient traffic tool like airboat to come to Zhongzhou Province like Zhang Tie. However, they all paid attention to what happened in Pingsha Valley. Zhang Tie would like to show his disciples what had happened here so that they could gain the first-hand information. When they went back home, they could tell their family members about what happened here as an indirect benefit of Iron-Dragon Sect.
The airboat suspended a few meters above the ground. When one side door of the airboat opened, they dropped off the gangway. Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian got off the airboat, closely followed by their disciples.
It was still drizzling. However, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian didn't need to wear raincoats at all. They just released their protective battle qi to isolate the raindrops.
Watching the handsome looks of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian, Zhang Tie's disciples admired them pretty much as they all swallowed their saliva forcefully.
After promoting to knights, people could fly and isolate fire and water. How great they were!
In the drizzle, the gangway touched the road which was paved with bluestones leading to the deserted castle. Besides waterlogging, the road was not muddy. Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian walked towards the deserted castle followed by their disciples.
"It smells bloody..." Bai Suxian slightly frowned after walking a few footsteps as she told Zhang Tie.
Knights' senses were much sharper than commoners.
"When the event broke out, tens of thousands of people died in the valley. This place had almost been covered with corpses and blood over 1 month ago. Although it was cleaned up, the bloody smell had still penetrated into each inch of soil and could not fade away in a few years. It's a bit better in rainy days; however, on sunny days, it would smell worse. In the evening, this place might be filled with wildfires and chilly, gloomy winds, which would make this place more terrifying. Look at the ground, the wide area of deep, brown parts on the bluestone slabs are blood stains. As human blood could fertilize the soil. Next year, the weeds would grow more luxuriant. Weeds that grow up in human blood are gloomier. Fewer commoners dare come here any more. In a few years, Pingsha Valley would be a ghost region. Perhaps only major thieves and criminals would hide here for the time being..."
Zhang Tie said in normal volume. Of course, Liu Xing and all the other disciples had heard it. After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all of his disciples carefully checked the bluestone slabs at their foot. When they found that almost the entire road was covered with bloodstains, many people turned pale at once.
After a few minutes, they had passed the hundreds of meters long bluestone road and arrived at the entrance of the black hole.
Given the look of the deserted castle, only a small part of it was destroyed in the battle. Unimaginably, the greater part of it was demolished by people.
After entering the entrance of the underground tunnel, as it was pitch-dark inside, Zhang Tie's disciples took out their portable fluorite lamps. Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian didn't take anything. As for Bai Suxian who had experienced in Earth-elements Realm and Liu Xing and the other 6 black-armored fighters who had served in Earth-elements Realm, most of them would use a vial of long-lasting night-viewing medicament, the effect of which could last about 1 year. This kind of long-lasting night-viewing medicament could not be used constantly. The interval between two vials should be over 1 month in case of negative impact to their eyes and battle strength.
Bai Suxian and the 7 black-armored fighters didn't need night-viewing medicament, not to mention Zhang Tie. Everybody at present including Bai Suxian thought that Zhang Tie had used night-viewing medicament. Zhang Tie didn't explain it to them either.
Compared to that in the outside, this underground tunnel looked cleaner and tidier. Besides some dust, there were no bloodstains on the stone steps.
The moment Zhang Tie entered the underground tunnel, he had heard a young voice from the depth of the underground tunnel.
"Those guys from the Supreme Court were too vicious. All the useful items in Pingsha Valley have been moved away, on the ground and underground, leaving nothing to us. Previously, I thought that I could take a look at the simplified bloody sea. I've not imagined that it was just a huge pit, leaving nothing inside, even a drop of blood. Boring!"
"Blood Sea is of great significance. Additionally, it violated God's will. Many people are paying attention to it. Do you think that we could catch a sight of that thing? I feel that those guys from the Supreme Court have been respecting all forces in Taixia Country much enough by leaving the tunnel complete!" Another young voice drifted from the depth of the tunnel.
"Heheheh, I'm afraid that the Supreme Court wanted to collapse this hole too; however, those people who really want to take a look inside could even dig another tunnel. The Supreme Court might also understand that it's useless to do that. Additionally, it would incur complaints about them. They could keep some strength and alchemist's bombs for bloody figures!"
The first voice sounded once again.
"Shh, someone's coming down..."
An old voice sounded. The two young voices shut up at once...
