Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 390: Chapter 179 Suppress North Mang Forever_2

Xue Yuan served as a colonel in the Luo Provincial Army, but such status in the Xue Family was not considered particularly outstanding. By blood, he was merely a collateral branch of the Xue Family, far from comparing to the prodigy Xue Mingzhi.

When Xue Mingzhi suddenly appeared in Luo Province and claimed that water monsters had been born on North Mang Mountain and the Ghost King had revealed himself, Xue Yuan’s first reaction was disbelief.

The Ghost King was a being comparable to a Spirit Refining True Being, and water monsters were even rarer than the Ghost King. How could they suddenly emerge in North Mang Mountain overnight?

It was known that North Mang Mountain usually didn’t even house a few Yin spirits, so the appearance of water monsters was utterly ludicrous.

However, when Xue Mingzhi pulled out the corpses of several dignitaries from noble families of the Imperial Capital from his storage magic artifact. Xue Yuan’s heart began to waver.

No matter what, the dignitaries from the Imperial Capital had died on North Mang Mountain, and as a colonel of the Luo Provincial Army, Xue Yuan had to go investigate.

If a Ghost King and water monsters had indeed appeared, the Luo Provincial Army would need to stand on the front lines immediately to buy time for the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and he, being a colonel involved in the matter, would have to take great risks to be stationed at the front.

But just when Xue Yuan had made up his mind, Xue Mingzhi suddenly claimed that Shen Yuan had killed the Ghost King and suppressed the water monsters. He had come only to ask for the transportation of engineering machinery and ordinary drivers to the mountain.

The situation shifted abruptly from a deadly battle with Ghost Objects to transporting engineering machinery. Xue Yuan, who had been prepared to sacrifice himself, could not help but rejoice internally.

He immediately exercised his colonel’s authority, mobilizing some large armed helicopters to transport mountain engineering vehicles, flying together with Xue Mingzhi to North Mang Mountain.

As they gradually neared the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Xue Yuan saw the vast desolate mountains left in the wake of the water monsters’ expansion, and his heart finally confirmed the truth of Xue Mingzhi’s words.

During this process, Xue Yuan attempted to inquire about Teacher Shen.

It was believed that a present-day Ghost King was an almost invincible existence, and even without exploiting its foundation, the Great Xia’s Imperial Court would find it difficult to suppress a Ghost King.

Yet, Shen Yuan could easily slay the Ghost King and suppress the water monsters, which was beyond Xue Yuan’s understanding.

However, whenever the topic of Shen Yuan came up, Xue Mingzhi mostly avoided the conversation.

From a few overheard words, Xue Yuan learned that all of Xue Mingzhi’s current achievements were thanks to this Teacher Shen.

Xue Yuan was greatly shocked and even more reverent towards Shen Yuan.

Now, seeing Shen Yuan in person, although finding it hard to believe that Shen Yuan was so young, Xue Yuan still maintained a respectful attitude.

Shen Yuan nodded slightly and asked Xue Yuan:

“Are these engineering machines purely mechanical, or are they special products combined with spell runes? Have all the drivers undergone cultivation?”

Shen Yuan’s voice was calm, but under the influence of the Imperial Decree of Truth, it carried an invisible authority.

Xue Yuan was invigorated and quickly answered:

“Teacher Shen, rest assured, the Luo Provincial Army hasn’t got the capacity to use those mechanical talisman tools. These are purely technological products.

As for the drivers of the machinery, they are called from the industrial groups under the provincial army, all are ordinary people who have not undergone cultivation.”

Satisfied, Shen Yuan finally nodded approval.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the time it took for this conversation to occur, the armed helicopters had found a spot to descend in the desolate mountains after the water monsters’ encroachment and slowly lowered the mountain engineering machinery.

During this process, a number of cultivators from the Luo Provincial Army provided assistance and adjustments.

As the drivers entered the mountain engineering machinery, one after another, the huge vehicles started to roar into life.

Shen Yuan pointed toward the front, speaking as if addressing the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land that looked much like a tomb mound:

“No matter what happens, all cultivators are forbidden to cross the stone stele. Only ordinary people may enter there.”

“From now on, destroy the mountain valley before us!”

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuan turned to the ten engineering vehicles and ordered loudly:

“Begin operations!”

Amidst the thunderous roar, the engineering vehicles entered the range of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

These giants, weighing tens of tons, swung their demolition hammers, striking the hard rock incessantly, pulverizing it.

The engineering machines paid no heed to the narrow path leading to the inner part of the forbidden land, digging directly from the surrounding mountains.

This was the summit of North Mang Mountain, the surrounding mountains enclosing the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land were not very high. With the joint efforts of the ten engineering vehicles, the mountains were quickly breached.

Inside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, a pair of crimson eyes finally showed signs of panic and unease.

The Master of North Mang Mountain, sitting atop a tomb, watched the leviathans dismantle the mountains, muttering in a hoarse and deep voice:

“How is this possible? These things are not driven by rune spells!

Even the drivers are completely ordinary people, without the slightest fluctuation of mana.”

“I was merely asleep for a Spirit Energy Exhaustion era. How could such bizarre things have emerged in the Primal Chaos Realm?”

Disbelief filled the Master of North Mang Mountain’s eyes.

In terms of strength, the power of the mountain engineering vehicles was not strong; a cultivator in the Qi Transformation Stage could easily destroy these machines.

Even if they allowed Ghost Objects to act, the lowest-level wandering souls could kill the drivers, who were ordinary people, and stop the machinery.

But within the present Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, due to the constraints of the 10th Hall Yama Array Formation, all Ghost Objects were incapable of harming ordinary humans.
