Condemning The Heavens Chapter 645

Chapter 645

645 Dongfang Continent

The s.h.i.+p began to cross the strait, but unlike before, where the process would have been filled with perils, this time, the journey was smooth and uneventful.

Previously, the Hailong had been detained in the area around the strait, so whether it was in the air above, or in the sea below, everything had been within its control, and any living creature that came close was killed instantly.

Now that the dragon was gone, nothing could stop their advance, and it was not even noon by the time they reached the other sh.o.r.e.

“Although everything went smoothly, I can’t help but think about what would have happened, had just the slightest thing been different.” Ling Xiao was emotional as they once more stood on firm ground, and his heart was somewhat restless as he tried to calm down his frazzled emotions.

They had succeeded in crossing the strait, and they had not needed to fight at any point, but their mental exhaustion was not less than when they were fighting hard battles, as they had to keep worrying about the movements of the Hailong. It was, after all, the one that held their fates in its hands. Their survival was only due to this sea dragon’s willingness to let them go.

Such an experience, where they could no longer control their own fate, was truly horrible, but they had been pressed further and further into a corner, and to fight for their future and survival, they had to keep struggling and even gamble with their lives on the line. Fortunately, it was a success this time.

“Let’s move on.” Xue Wei did not refuse Ling Xiao’s words, and he, too, understood the varied emotions, but he was not as positive. The Hailong had left for now, but he feared that many things might go wrong along with this step.

If the Hailong returned, they would be in a bad position, and it would be even worse if the expert that had imprisoned the Hailong noticed that they had shattered the formation, and decided to come by and check up on the situation.

Although he also felt relieved that they had survived in the first place, he did not believe that as long as they crossed the strait they would be fine.

.....

Apparently, both Hei Gou and Bai Tianyi agreed with him, so they did not hesitate but started to move inland of this new continent they had reached.

The Dongfang Continent was the home of the White Tiger Clan, and also their next stop, but even so, none of them knew in which direction they were meant to walk.

Having just arrived, the Dongfang Continent was a new experience for them, and they were sure that they would face new challenges and difficulties, but they might also find another breakthrough point in their quest to regain control of their own fates.

“Let us aim for the mountain range over there.” Xue Wei pointed towards a distant location, where a range of mountains could be seen, standing tall in the horizon, spreading across the entire view as a slumbering snake, occupying the entire territory.

“Such a large chain of mountains has to be a perfect location for numerous experts to temper themselves and locate treasures. Even if we do not find anyone on our way there, we should be able to gather a lot of information as we reach the mountains and find other cultivators.”

Although Xue Wei was not an overly outgoing person, he was currently fed up with the lack of vitality around him. At first, he had been in the Ghost Realm for a long time, where everything was different from what he was used to, and afterwards they had entered No Man’s Land, which was so bizarre and unreal. Now, what he wanted to see the most, was simply an ordinary cultivation society, where the young talents were aiming to become heroes or experts. Even if he had to face many pampered young masters, or young misses that thought they were the reincarnation of fairies, he was willing to look at these strange people, just to experience what the real world was like once more.

Not only Xue Wei, but also Bai Tianyi and Ling Xiao shared these thoughts. None of them were eager to keep struggling on their own, and wanted to see if they could meet others, not to mention, try to dig for some information on the way.

Hei Gou was not familiar with crowds, but he was not repulsed by them either. For him, life was curious and interesting, but he did not know much about human society. However, he wished to know more about the past him, and also about his companions whom he valued greatly, so he had to get to know their origin too.

Having made their decision, the group of four instantly sat out and began moving towards the distant horizon with the towering peaks. Although they had been mentally exhausted while trying to cross the strait, their bodies had not been worn out, and thus they were still full of energy as they pressed on.

However, unknown to them, not long after their departure from the strait, a ripple ran through the air, and a middle-aged man appeared by the sh.o.r.e. Looking at the direction where the group had gone, he smiled slightly and shook his head. He, then, continued to face the water that had become calm and sighed gently.

“What a shame. I hoped to raise the dragon a bit longer.”

Although his voice seemed to contain some regret, it was hard to see any form of regret on his face, as he was fiddling with a dragon fang in his hand.
