Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2265: Chapter 2300: Assessing the Situation

Ding Fan finally gave up. He simply couldn’t open this enormous coffin. He had no choice but to wait for another opportunity to try again.

Ding Fan continued to comprehend the Shadowless Divine Skill. He lost track of time in his training, becoming so engrossed that he completely forgot about the situation outside. Unknowingly, six more days passed.

"Thump!"

While sitting on the deck, Ding Fan suddenly felt his body jolt. His eyes snapped open, and he found that the Super Airship was trembling, clearly still descending.

"What happened?"

Ding Fan’s first thought was that the Super Airship had been attacked, causing it to be damaged and start plummeting rapidly.

He leapt up and rushed towards the cabin door, but his movements were extremely unusual, slowed by more than ten times. He felt as though an unseen, formidable force was overwhelmingly covering him.

He pushed open the cabin door and dashed out. He discovered chaos outside as well. Many people’s faces were filled with terror.

"Young Master."

Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame rushed over to support Ding Fan, while Sirius was also brought out. The three of them stood together, surveying their surroundings.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

Countless people surged out of the cabin, crowding the pathways on the deck. The guards from the Spirit Dragon Hall also rushed out, wearing expressions of equal surprise.

The airship descended so rapidly that the mountains below became clearly visible. As Ding Fan glanced outside, he couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Purple mist swirled below, obscuring the sunlight from reaching the sky. Because of the heavy fog, the entire Mountain Range was unclear. People felt uneasy, as if a colossal beast was hidden within.

"Everyone, don’t panic. It’s just that the gravity below suddenly increased."

An elderly voice echoed, and an old man with purple hair appeared on the second level deck, accompanied by Ling Wanru and two other powerful elders.

The purple-haired man frowned deeply, looked around, and said, "It’s likely the upheaval of Luoshen Mountain causing the sudden change in gravity. I am Jeang Tianlin. Please trust this old one; I will surely get you all out safely!"

"Jeang Tianlin!"

The name provided a slight comfort. The Spirit Dragon Hall was composed of several Family Powers, with the Jeang Family being the strongest among them. It was one of the eleven Royal Families. Since there were experts from the Royal Family here, nothing should really go wrong.

"Zhong Zhiyong, can you still fly up?"

Ding Fan blinked and asked in a low voice. Zhong Zhiyong immediately activated his Divine Soldier Pellet, enlarging it, and prepared to leap onto it. However, when the Divine Soldier Pellet expanded, he found it descending as well.

"This gravity is too defiant of the natural order!"

Zhong Zhiyong’s eyes turned cold as he said, "This gravity shift is based on each person’s Realm. The stronger the person, the greater the gravity. My speed is currently reduced by more than a hundred times."

Crimson Flame nodded, having felt it when he rushed over earlier. Ding Fan’s eyes also turned icy. His mind raced, considering whether someone was scheming against him or trying to assassinate someone in the Spirit Dragon Hall, or if it was just bad luck, and the Super Airship had encountered an accident?

"Whoosh~"

The Super Airship was completely out of control and rapidly plummeting. It fell into the purple mist, and the scenery around became blurred.

The speed of the Super Airship increased, becoming entirely unmanageable. The purple-haired Jeang Tianlin loudly warned, "Everyone, pay attention. Lift the elderly and children higher, and be ready to jump out at any moment."

Zhong Zhiyong grabbed Ding Fan, while many strong guests lifted the people around them. Jeang Tianlin grasped Ling Wanru with one hand.

"Jump out!"

As the Super Airship neared landing, Jeang Tianlin roared. The airship’s Protective Barrier was opened, and countless people flew out from it. Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong carried Ding Fan as they leaped far away.

"Boom~"

The Super Airship, like an armored fortress, crashed heavily at the base of the mountain, shattering into pieces and scattering across the sky. A thunderous noise reverberated through the mountains.

"Ouch!"

Many low, muffled groans sounded from all around. Several young ladies and elderly individuals, not strong enough physically, had fractured bones and groaned in pain.

"Where is this?"

Protected by Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong, Ding Fan was unharmed. At this distance, even if he’d jumped himself, he wouldn’t have been injured. He looked around and saw no mysterious beasts or danger, letting out a sigh of relief.

The area was a barren mountain with sparse vegetation and all-purple rocks, resembling a desert plateau. The only characteristic was the omnipresent purple mist, making visibility extremely low; objects a thousand meters away were indistinct.

"Luoshen Mountain!"

Zhong Zhiyong said to Ding Fan but didn’t continue. Though Luoshen Mountain was famous, even he didn’t know its specific circumstances.

"Can you still fly?"

Ding Fan looked at Zhong Zhiyong and asked. Zhong Zhiyong attempted to release the Divine Soldier Pellet, but he shook his head and said, "The gravity is too strong. I can only fly a few meters, not far."

The noise was everywhere. This time, there were over a thousand passengers on the Super Airship. Suddenly, this unexpected event happened, something no one had anticipated. Naturally, they were not satisfied, and now that the Super Airship is destroyed, how can they continue forward?

"Do not panic!"

Jeang Tiansen’s voice echoed in all directions, saying, "Even though the Super Airship has been destroyed, the Spirit Dragon Hall will soon find out and will immediately send people with a Super Boat to come here. This is Luoshen Mountain, which is very dangerous, so everyone should not wander around. Gather together. My people will set up a camp and distribute food. Please be patient. The Spirit Dragon Hall will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation for what happened today."

With Jeang Tianlin’s words, the noise significantly reduced. Several leaders and stewards, accompanied by teams of guards, immediately began camping to accommodate the passengers of the Super Airship.

"Awoooo~"

At this point, a terrifying sound suddenly came from a distance, growing louder and louder. Ding Fan heard it, and his face immediately turned grim, crouching on the ground, holding his head in agony.

"Soul Attack!"

Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame exchanged glances, and both of them immediately looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Ah~"

When countless people heard this sound, they all curled up in pain, holding their heads and rolling in agony, especially those of lower Realm, who simply couldn’t endure it, like being attacked by Ding Fan’s Sirius Howl.

Most of the thousand-plus passengers were at the Divine Realm Third Level and above. The remaining half, below Divine Realm Third Level, were in great pain. Many had headaches so severe that they bumped into nearby stones, bleeding profusely from their heads.

"Control them!"

Jeang Tianlin was unaffected, and many guards sprang into action, each capturing one or two people. Jeang Tianlin shouted, "Don’t be afraid, everyone. This is a unique ghostly wind of Luoshen Mountain. It will pass quickly. Hold on for a while, and there will be no problem."

Actually, Ling Wanru was also unaffected. She saw Ding Fan crouched, holding his head, and she lightly leaped over, crouching next to Ding Fan, saying, "Ding Fan, wait a moment. It will be better soon."

Ling Wanru’s Realm was not particularly high, only at the Fourth Level Peak in the Divine Realm. Martial Artists of the same level were uncomfortable, suggesting her Soul Power might be quite high.

Ding Fan nodded. Although his head was in severe pain, he still managed to endure it, gritting his teeth to bear it. Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong looked around and, seeing no enemy attack, felt relieved.

After five or six minutes, the sharp sound gradually weakened. People felt much better, and after a while, the sound disappeared completely. Ding Fan let out a breath, wiped the sweat from his face, looked up at Ling Wanru, and asked, "What kind of ghostly place is this? Why is the gravity so strong? And why is the sound so terrifying?"

Ling Wanru pondered and softly said, "This is Luoshen Mountain, the second treasure land and second perilous land in the Eastern Central Plains. Every few years or longer, many Purple Black Crystals and Soul Crystals erupt. Accompanying the crystal eruptions are huge powerful winds, and many caves in these areas become more terrifying. People get sucked into the mountain body immediately. Many years ago, a Seventh Level expert of the Divine Realm was sucked in and has not come out to this day."

"What?"

The three of them, including Ding Fan, were shocked. If a Seventh Level expert of the Divine Realm couldn’t make it out, they might not survive if they fell into the Ghost Cave.

"Don’t worry."

Ling Wanru comforted them, "Only where the Purple and Soul Crystals erupt do Ghost Caves appear. If you don’t wander around, nothing will happen. There are no terrifying spiritual beasts in Luoshen Mountain. Some Divine Mountain Rats may be shot out during eruptions, but the probability is very small. There are no Ghost Caves here. If we don’t wander around, nothing will happen."

After listening to Ling Wanru’s explanation, the three of them, including Ding Fan, understood.

A dozen days ago, when the scouts from the Spirit Dragon Hall entered Luoshen Mountain, they hadn’t found any sign of large-scale upheaval. That’s why Jeang Tianlin allowed the Super Airship to traverse the mountain range, as taking a detour would take another half year.

Unexpectedly, for the past ten days, Luoshen Mountain had only small-scale unrest, but today, a major upheaval occurred. During upheaval on Luoshen Mountain, strong gravity arises in the mountain, causing the fall of the Super Airship.

However, no Purple Black Crystals or Soul Crystals erupted nearby, so it should be safe now. Once all this has passed, the gravity around will reduce, making it easy for people to leave.

In this situation, the correct course of action is to stay put. Otherwise, entering the eruptive zone could result in being sucked into a Ghost Cave or encountering Divine Mountain Rats, then not even God can save them.

"What is a Purple Black Crystal? Is it Black Obsidian? And what exactly is a Soul Crystal?" Ding Fan asked curiously.

Ling Wanru didn’t hide it and explained, "The Purple Crystal is a special crystal, each one can be exchanged for ten thousand Black Obsidian. It’s a High Level Crystal Stone, typically called Purple Glowing Stone, and this is a Purple Glowing Stone."

The ring on Ling Wanru’s hand shone, smaller than the Black Obsidian by half, just the size of a pinky, and very beautiful.

"Soul Crystals are used to cultivate the soul," Ling Wanru explained quietly, "Soul Crystals are High Level Crystals. A Soul Crystal worth millions of High Level Crystals can refine and enhance the soul’s strength. Of course, the more refined it is, the slower it grows, and the more valuable it becomes. By the way... when you encounter the eruption of Purple Glowing Stone and Soul Crystals, do not approach the erupting Ghost Cave. If you stroll around, you can collect them. But remember, never approach the Ghost Cave."

After explaining a bit, Ling Wanru didn’t stay around Jeang Tianlin. When a manager approached, she pointed to a nearby mountain top and said, "Set up a tent for me here, and by the way, set up two tents for this person."

"Alright~"

The manager didn’t dare defy Ling Wanru’s instruction and immediately gathered several escort personnel to set up three tents on the nearby mountain top, two large and one small.

"Let’s go. We can’t go back for a while."

Ling Wanru waved to the two maidservants in the distance and then directly took them to the camp.

Ling Wanru seemed to have returned to a normal state. Ding Fan thought for a moment and said, "Let’s first observe the situation."
