Chapter 1420 - 1420: Department Mission (10 Updates Burst)
Su Kaicheng's words made Ye Qing nod slightly. Inside that Beimang Mountain, he saw the marks left by tens of thousands of people. And among them, eventually, only those four individuals were able to reach the final five forks in the road. These tens of thousands ultimately died halfway, showing how significant the casualties were.Moreover, Ye Qing estimated these tens of thousands were just those who left the marks. In fact, there might have been more who didn't leave marks, meaning there were even more deaths inside Beimang Mountain. Exactly how many? Tens of thousands? Or hundreds of thousands? Maybe even millions? It's hard to say, but certainly, this number will only increase slowly, after all, there are too many people in this world who want to extend their lives.
In fact, it's fortunate the news about Beimang Mountain was blocked; otherwise, more would have died in there. If the message wasn't blocked, even more people would have ventured into the mountain, and even more would have perished. Not to mention hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions could be possible!
Looking at it this way, the Ministry of Security's blocking of the information indeed reduced many unnecessary sacrifices.
After pondering for a while, Ye Qing suddenly asked, "Did the Ministry of Security send anyone in to investigate?"
"If I say no, would you believe it?" Su Kaicheng countered.
Ye Qing shook his head; of course, he wouldn't believe it.
"The Ministry of Security did send people in, but it was a long time ago. However, each time, those who went in never came out alive. Hence, the Ministry decided to thoroughly block the place," Su Kaicheng said. "In reality, we suspect there's no secret of longevity inside Beimang Mountain at all, and it's completely a death zone. For many years, countless people have gone in, yet none have come out alive, let alone found any method of extending life. Beimang Mountain, perhaps, is just a big deception!"
It seems the people from the Ministry of Security still hold a skeptical attitude toward the happenings inside Beimang Mountain.
Ye Qing's attitude differed slightly from Su Kaicheng. He personally witnessed the Great Demon King Coffin; the oppressive pressure he felt still lingers vividly. Inside Beimang Mountain, perhaps the secret to the Demon King's longevity truly lies!
"Did you find anything after entering Beimang Mountain?" Su Kaicheng casually asked.
Ye Qing paused for a while, recounting the situation after he went in. However, he didn't mention the Great Demon King Coffin; it wasn't due to distrust of Su Kaicheng but rather fear that this matter would cause panic among people. After all, longevity is a dream so many people yearn for. If people knew the Demon King really existed inside, perhaps even more would rush in to perish!
Upon hearing Ye Qing describe the situation inside Beimang Mountain, Su Kaicheng was quite shocked; he had never been inside, only heard others talk about it. Now that Ye Qing just experienced the inside firsthand, it truly astonished him. Given his imagination, he couldn't fathom how deep the innermost part of Beimang Mountain could be. What's more, the Devouring Demon Flower inside was genuinely terrifying!
"So, the Red Snake Yin Fairy and One-Eyed Ding Lianshun, were both devoured by the Devouring Demon Flower?" Su Kaicheng asked in surprise.
Ye Qing slowly nodded his head, feeling a bit somber while recounting this matter. Over the past few days, he had become friends with Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun. Now both friends were trapped inside; how could he not be anxious?
"I didn't anticipate this Devouring Demon Flower being so terrifying!" Su Kaicheng's face was full of astonishment, still entirely immersed in the shock brought by the Devouring Demon Flower.
"By the way, do you know how Ding Lianshun got here?" Ye Qing suddenly remembered, asking, "Wasn't he buried in that cave in North Hong? Did the people from North Hong rescue him?"ernal slumber, which is the best option!"
"Eliminating the followers of Corpse Ghost Dragon?" Ye Qing was slightly surprised, asking, "Do you mean eliminating his disciples and adherents?"
"Yes!" Su Kaicheng nodded, saying, "It's about eliminating these sorcerers who entered Huaxia!"
"This matter..." Ye Qing frowned, saying, "It might not be that easy to accomplish!"
Previously, Ye Qing had already dealt with these sorcerers alongside Ding Lianshun Yin Xianzi and he knew full well their strengths. These sorcerers were not only extremely skilled in sorcery but also very cunning, making them challenging adversaries. Moreover, among them, there's that Master Naikun Grand Master, a figure said to rival the Five Uniques. With Ye Qing's current situation, dealing with him was clearly out of the question!
Su Kaicheng looked at Ye Qing and said, "Ye brothers, I know what you're worried about. But rest assured, I've already made arrangements, finding two helpers for you, they can assist in successfully completing this task!"
"Two helpers?" Ye Qing asked, surprised, "Who are they?"
"They will be here soon; you'll know when you meet them," Su Kaicheng smiled, saying, "Among them, one you are quite familiar with."
