Chapter 680 - 607: Black Stone City, Contacting the Defenders (2)

Bai Lingfeng sneered and said indifferently, "We didn’t come this time just to serve; we also need to find the native inhabitants of this Forbidden Area. Please tell us where they are, Clan Leader Zhou, and we’ll be back shortly."

According to Qin An’s plan, this time they not only wanted to contact the cultivator forces here but also to resist the attackers with those native inhabitants.

Therefore, Black Stone City is a stop on their journey.

Zhou Yun thought for a moment and said, "The place where those native inhabitants live is extremely far north of Black Stone City. Historically, we haven’t had much interaction with the native inhabitants of the Black Stone Forbidden Area. If you want to find them, you may need to go by yourselves, as we aren’t very clear about their exact location."

At this, Zhou Yun sighed.

Bai Lingfeng and the other two Forbidden Land Golden Envoys exchanged glances, who could see the look in each other’s eyes and understood what Zhou Yun was planning.

In fact, people with such experience had encountered countless forces in forbidden lands.

Therefore, they were very familiar with the types of various Forbidden Areas.

In some Forbidden Areas, the human forces were very sensible and indeed loyal to the Evil Extermination Bureau.

While some forces did not want to have dealings with the Evil Extermination Bureau and even detested it.

In between, there were some forces that were too shrewd and did things not only half-heartedly but also considering only their own interests.

Doing such things itself is actually not a problem, but it must be done according to the situation.

For example, now.

What Bai Lingfeng and Qin An were doing is a major plan, and under such a significant plan, if Zhou Yun still copes with this shrewd attitude, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of a thousand-mile dike caused by an ant hole.

Thinking of this, Bai Lingfeng’s tone became colder.

"Clan Leader Zhou, I think you should understand one thing."

Zhou Yun’s grip on the wine cup slightly tightened: "Lord Bai, just say it, as long as it’s something I, Zhou Yun, can help with, I will definitely not refuse."

Bai Lingfeng said flatly, "I also hope you really don’t refuse. This is an extremely important plan. If this plan fails, it’s not just Black Stone Forbidden Area that will become a burial ground, but the human forces in other Forbidden Areas won’t survive long. I hope you understand this."

Zhou Yun froze on the spot, a complex look in his eyes.

When Bai Lingfeng and the others arrived, they also explained this plan in detail.

But in Zhou Yun’s view, he still planned to treat it with the kind of shrewd attitude he was accustomed to.

After all, he did not want his human force leading in the Black Stone Forbidden Area to suffer too much.

But now with Bai Lingfeng clarifying repeatedly, Zhou Yun knew the situation might really be serious.

Bai Lingfeng said no more but patiently waited to get a result from Zhou Yun.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yun looked up, "If you want to find those native inhabitants, besides trudging through mountains and rivers, there’s another way, which is by using the strength of Black Stone City to contact them."

"However, if I use such power, it will inevitably cause some loss to Black Stone City, and I’m afraid it will be somewhat influenced at the time of the decisive battle as Lord Bai mentioned."

Qin An heard Zhou Yun’s responses but narrowed his eyes.

But he didn’t speak, instead continuing to wait.

Some matters in the Forbidden Areas, he did not want to involve. Now, he just wanted to gather all power to counter the attacks of those three large-scale Forbidden Area traitors.

Bai Lingfeng leaned back in his chair, lifted his chin slightly, and said calmly, "Start contacting now."

The tone carried a command, with no room for negotiation.

Zhou Yun was slightly stunned.

Bai Lingfeng continued, "Pay the price, and you’ll gain corresponding benefits after contacting them."

"As for any losses, even if you can’t contribute much combat power, contribute what you can, I won’t ask more."

Zhou Yun gritted his teeth, then took out a brilliant-colored jade stone from his arms: "This is a seven-colored black stone that can contact the native inhabitants of the Black Stone Forbidden Area, a special product of Black Stone Forbidden Area. If I use it, it will draw power from the layer of black stone cultivators."

"We spent great effort to obtain this seven-colored black stone, and after getting it, we kept it, just in case the demon pseudo-gods here renege again; we could also use the seven-colored black stone to see if we could get help from the native inhabitants."

"Now that you need to contact them, to save time, use this seven-colored black stone."

Speaking to this point, a trace of distress surfaced on Zhou Yun’s face.

But he also knew, judging by Bai Lingfeng’s expression, this matter was very serious, so he put away his shrewdness.

Bai Lingfeng raised his hand, "Alright, you can now use this seven-colored black stone to contact the native inhabitants of the Black Stone Forbidden Area."

Zhou Yun said no more, then circulated the Void Essence within his body.

As the Void Essence was circulated by Zhou Yun, the ground started to tremble slightly.

Soon, all the cultivators in Black Stone City felt a large portion of their power being drawn towards the most magnificent building in Black Stone City amid this tremor.

The seven-colored black stone in Zhou Yun’s hand quickly became scorching hot, the light blinding enough that it was hard to keep their eyes open.

Then, a mirror-like shadow gradually appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Once the mirror-like shadow solidified, it surprisingly reflected the scene of a primeval forest.

When they looked at this primeval forest, it was completely different from other forests, entirely in a blackened state.

Then, as Zhou Yun flicked a finger, the scene zoomed into the eerie forest, and soon appeared in an area built along the mountains.

Each building was constructed along the mountains, filled with a unique beauty, and inside these buildings, people in black robes busily moved about.

Each person seemed oblivious to their presence, continuing with their tasks.

At this moment, the scene shifted closer once more.

Soon, it focused on the largest room.

Inside this largest room, a man in a black robe sat on a throne.

He seemed to sense something, slowly opening his eyes, his gaze seemingly penetrating endless space and falling on where Qin An and others were located.

Qin An, now in the room, felt as if the black-robed man was looking at him, frowning as he met his gaze.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

The black-robed man slowly stood up, then began meticulously adjusting his robes.

After smoothing out all the creases, the black-robed man lifted his head and clasped his hands in a salute toward Qin An’s position.

"This is Hei Feng, the leader of the Defenders in the Black Stone Forbidden Area. It is an honor to meet you, Savior. Meeting you today is Hei Feng’s lifelong satisfaction."

After this statement, Bai Lingfeng and others were unfazed, as they knew Qin An’s identity.

But Zhou Yun looked at Qin An with incomparable amazement.

Only Zhou Yun knew what a figure this man named Hei Feng was before them.

Yet this kind of figure showed such deference to Qin An.

Zhou Yun looked at Qin An with an increasingly complex gaze. Simultaneously, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the price he just paid was worth it.

Qin An, long accustomed to the Defenders’ attitude towards him, nodded slightly, then explained his plan.

He had just finished when Hei Feng immediately raised his head and said,

"What the Savior says is right; even the most outrageous ideas are right. Hei Feng will lead all the Defenders in the Black Stone Forbidden Area to support the Savior’s decision and depart immediately, arriving in Black Wind City within half a day."
