Leaving Burial Mountain went smoothly, but Jiang Yuan's group had grown from three to four people because he had taken in the first Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to follow him on the Path of Enlightenment—Shi Jingang.

The idea of ​​a Nascent Soul cultivator following a Profound God cultivator sounds ridiculous, but it's a reality right before our eyes.

"Shi Jingang, since you have chosen to follow me, I hope you can keep two promises!" Jiang Yuan first tried to be polite, then resorted to force.

“My lord, please speak. King Kong will uphold the promise with his life.”

Shi Jingang said respectfully.

“Alright, then I’ll be frank. First, you can’t harm anyone around me, right or wrong, of course. Also, put aside your hostility towards humans.” Jiang Yuan stated two very simple agreements, because he never intended to take Shi Jingang as a follower in the first place.

"Jin Gang will definitely keep his promise." Shi Jin Gang is a very straightforward person. Once he has made up his mind, he will not give up easily. Therefore, he will not give up easily on the path of following Jiang Yuan.

"That's right!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, then turned his gaze to Shi Jingang's enormous body. He added, "It would be even better if it could appear in a form similar to ours!"

Although this place is not the Dark Abyss, the Stone King Kong's enormous body still disturbs others when he walks.

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan nodded and reluctantly accepted the follower.

"Master, the Death Knights and Tauren have sent battle reports."

Just as the group was preparing to rush back, the communication stone in the Tomb Maiden's hand lit up. Since the Death Knights and Tauren were under the Tomb Maiden's management, it was understandable that their first battle reports would reach her.

However, after glancing at the battle report, the tomb maiden nervously put it away. Jiang Yuan immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"It's alright, everything is proceeding according to plan," the tomb woman replied, sounding very unsure.

"Don't lie to me, or I'll ask Qiu Yun Kuang Kai and the others myself!" Jiang Yuan could see through this little trick at a glance.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, the Tomb Maiden had no choice but to say, "The Death Knight was surrounded by the alien race while covering the Orcs' successful retreat into the Ten Thousand Mountains. The Minotaur race went back to rescue them and also perished. Now, all seven sacred mountains of the Holy Spirit Clan have descended, and the battle is beyond saving."

The strength of the alien race is self-evident; once imprisoned, death is the only thing awaiting the Death Knight and the Minotaur race.

"How could this be? We haven't been gone for long, have we?" Jiang Yuan wondered.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's question, Shi Jingang explained, "My lord, you have been in the Dark Abyss for more than seven days."

"Seven days!"

The three of them, including Jiang Yuan, were completely bewildered. In the Dark Abyss, it felt like only a few hours had passed, not seven days at all.

"It's the influence of the Dark Forest. That space was already completely corrupted when we entered, and the flow of time inside changes with the changes in the dark power." Jiang Yuan sighed after understanding this. No wonder the undead knights and minotaurs were trapped by the alien race. Without strong external assistance, their forces were no match for the alien army in seven days.

Although the Ten Thousand Mountains have strategic depth, it is useless in the face of a Nascent Soul Realm expert who can travel ten thousand miles a day. Sooner or later, they will be discovered.

Presumably, the Death Knights were unable to retreat any further, which is why they were surrounded.

"What do we do now?" An Xiaoyu came out all alone. Although she was a member of Tianfu, she had no right to lead troops.

How far is the enemy's location from Burial Mound?

The location of the Dark Side is in the Burial Mountain, and he needs to find out the location of the Burial Mountain and the location where the Death Knights are besieged beforehand.

"To avoid clashing with their master's location, the Death Knight chose a route 20,000 miles away from us and is now trapped in the Hengduan Mountains. According to Qiu Yun, the number of casualties is constantly rising, and the two races may not last more than three days." The Tomb Maiden showed no joy or sorrow; her grief was shared only with Jiang Yuan, not with anyone else.

"Is this the first day?" Jiang Yuan's body trembled; he had a bad feeling.

The tomb maiden fell silent for a moment, looking at the battle report that was now filled with a resolute intent. Finally, she sighed and said, "It's already the third day."

"Come on, teleport with me, let's make a plan as we travel."

Jiang Yuan regretted not bringing the Starry Sky-class warship with him, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted time on the journey. Fortunately, his understanding of spacetime was extraordinary, so even if he traveled through time, it wouldn't take long.

"Pick up the others."

While transmitting the message, Jiang Yuan established communication with Zhenwu Beast and the others, as he needed the data prepared by the other side.

Although his forces are now scattered, so are those of the alien races. This situation is very advantageous to him. Otherwise, if the alien races were to station tens of millions of troops in Wanshan City, the entire Lizhou and even China would be restless. The number of people involved would be vast. That is why he chose to lure the alien races into the Ten Thousand Mountains. He couldn't afford to gamble.

"Boss!"

"Major General!"

"Young Master!"

Three forces gradually appeared in the communications: the True Martial Beast and the Nether Phoenix of the Beast Clan, the Oath Army separated from the Heavenly Palace, and a group of ambitious individuals who had inexplicably joined the cause.

The majority of the population consists of beastmen, who are native to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and fundamentally different from the beastmen who descended from beyond the realm. Like humans, they are a civilization on the Imperial Star, so their alliance is not surprising.

There's no need to explain the Oath Army; Jiang Yuan had already made contact with them before.

Finally, it's worth mentioning the force that uniformly addresses Jiang Yuan as Young Master. According to Jiang Yuan's own observation, this group not only includes powerful members of the Jiang family, but also people from the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce and the Sanhe Group. Even several well-known families in China have sent reinforcements to varying degrees, which is how this force came to be.
