At this point, Ziyue and the others finally understood why this phenomenon had occurred in Jiangnan.
It turns out that a monster from a different version appeared, which used the Future Buddha Dharma Form to distort space and forcibly distort Mr. Heavenly Secrets's Heavenly Secrets Cave, causing the current spatial disorder!
Upon learning the situation, Ziyue's previously heavy mood immediately eased considerably.
Because this was not a deliberate act, but an accident, and since it was an accident, there was no room for further planning. It's impossible to grasp the patterns of such spatial disorder in a short time; otherwise, the people randomly teleported here wouldn't be ordinary Southern Barbarians barbarians.
At this moment, Ziyue finally understood why this phenomenon occurred. If the other party had mastered this spatial disorder, they would certainly not have alerted some Southern Barbarians refugees and some random species. However, they could not be careless. Although this was an accident, it was possible that the other party would take this opportunity to find a good chance to invade Jiangnan.
However, the most urgent task is to find out what the outcome will be.
"And then what happened?" Ziyue looked at Heavenly Secrets: "Your Heavenly Secrets Cave was forcibly distorted. How did you escape after that?"
"We had no choice but to escape," Heavenly Secrets said with a bitter smile. "That kid Chen Qing was decisive. He didn't care about anything at that time and just dragged me through that distorted space. The three Heavenly Secrets Cave were twisted into a mess. He really dared to be that crazy."
"So you went to Jiangnan?" Ziyue asked with a wry smile.
Heavenly Secrets rolled his eyes at the other person upon hearing this. "What do you mean? Is it a pity that I was the one who was rescued?"
"No, I didn't mean that." Moon Eye.
"That's what you mean." Heavenly Secrets rolled her eyes in exasperation. "You just think Chen Qing is more useful right now."
Does it have to be said so plainly?
Heavenly Secrets: "."
Ziyue sighed. Ever since Heavenly Secrets was rescued, he would personally investigate any spatial fluctuations that occurred within Jiangnan, fearing that he might not be able to rescue Chen Qing in time. Unfortunately, a day had passed since Heavenly Secrets was rescued, and although there had been two spatial loopholes, Chen Qing was still nowhere to be found.
Moreover, without the Heavenly Secrets, Ziyue doesn't even know how to contact Chen Qing anymore.
"If what you just said is true, is it possible that those two extremely powerful individuals could have used that so-called spatial disorder to get to Jiangnan?" Seventh Master Shen asked, voicing a question that everyone wanted to know.
"Probably not." Heavenly Secrets shook his head. "Given the situation at the time, King Chujiang clearly didn't want to fight that Quefeng head-on. If he dared to enter Heavenly Secrets Cave like us, he might have been given an opportunity by the Quefeng in the spatial chaos. The opponent, who can sit in that position, must be someone who values his life. The safest path is to go directly back to the Yin-Yang Road, because that way, regardless of whether the Quefeng dares to enter the Yin-Yang Road, the opponent will have a greater advantage!"
"That makes sense." Seventh Master Shen nodded slightly.
Ziyue was more concerned about Chen Qing: "Then where do you think Chen Qing will go?"
"I can't say for sure," Heavenly Secrets said with a wry smile. "In that chaotic space, he could be teleported anywhere. However, since the three Heavenly Secrets Cave all have specific destinations, his direction will likely be random, somewhere between the Southern Barbarians, Jiangnan, and the Yin-Yang Road. But it's hard to say exactly where he'll end up."
Yin-Yang Road.
Ziyue's heart sank. Others might not know the current situation of the Yin-Yang Road, but she did. Ever since Chen Qing opened the Underworld in Jiangnan, the resentment of the evil spirits on the Yin-Yang Road, especially those near Jiangnan, towards Chen Qing had reached the heavens.
Chen Qing's actions came at a price. All the evil spirits on the Yin-Yang Road remembered Chen Qing's scent, making it almost a life-or-death struggle between Chen Qing and the Ghost Domain. If Chen Qing hadn't fallen into the Yin-Yang Road, things would have been fine, but once he did, he would likely be hunted down by the entire Ghost Domain Realm!

"Is this why you are hated by gods and demons?"
At the location of Yin-Yang Road, the weakened White Phoenix looked at Chen Qing, who was dragging him along, and asked with a bitter smile.
Chen Qing was so exhausted that he didn't even bother to glare at the guy.
The worst outcome has occurred. When Chen Qing led Heavenly Secrets and White Phoenix into the twisted Heavenly Secrets Cave to fight that wave, he was already thinking about the consequences. The second worst outcome was that the Heavenly Secrets Cave would be destroyed, and he would have to stay behind. Compared to dying at the hands of the Quefeng, the only way out was to submit to that player boss.
The worst-case scenario is that the teleportation through the Heavenly Secrets Cave is successful, but the person ends up in the most troublesome place!
The Yin-Yang Road, the stronghold of the Ghost Domain forces, the original path for the souls of the dead, is the cruelest place in the world.
From the moment I teleported here, I was relentlessly pursued by evil spirits. These things were like monsters with no regard for their own lives; even the lowest-level wildfire imps seemed to have a mortal grudge against me, relentlessly chasing me and constantly revealing my location, attracting the pursuit of various evil spirits and Ghost General.
The two fought their way out, dodging various vicious ghosts skilled at tracking, and it took them three whole days to finally reach a desolate place.
"This can't go on." White Phoenix looked at Chen Qing: "The evil spirits here are inherently hostile towards you, practically insane. According to you, escaping from here to Jiangnan is simply not realistic!"
Chen Qing silently drew a map on the ground. He was in the Southern Barbarians Yin-Yang Road. To get to Jiangnan, he would have to walk more than 30,000 li. This did not even take into account whether the complex terrain could be traversed directly. The key was that he could not sprint at full speed. After all, as White Phoenix said, the evil spirits here hated him and became more frantic the closer he got to Jiangnan. If he sprinted without regard for his physical strength, he would be courting death if he encountered a powerful enemy.
The key point is that such an exaggeratedly high-speed movement might attract the attention of King Chujiang.
The mark that guy left on him should be gone. If Chen Qing's guess is correct, he should have used the Three Lives Seal. It was precisely because it was such a special mark that he was able to collide the entire Yin-Yang Road space with himself in the Heavenly Secrets Cave. However, such an exaggerated mark can only be used once per person, and once used, even a great power who has entered immortality can only use it again after ten years.
The absence of a marker doesn't mean the other party can't find you. If you're speeding around so conspicuously in the Yin-Yang Road, the chances of being found are still quite high, provided, of course, that you've already safely returned to the Yin-Yang Road.
Chen Qing felt that the guy named Quefeng would be difficult to get rid of.
"I can't go to Jiangnan," Chen Qing sighed.
"What do you mean?" White Phoenix's expression turned grim as she looked at the map Chen Qing had drawn up.
"We're not far from the Jiangnan region, but we have to pass through at least three Ghost King zones. Even if King Chujiang isn't here, there's still Tomb of King Xiang and King Taishan's Curtain. Given the current situation, it's hard to say whether these ghostly entities are possessed by players like King Chujiang. The risk is too great."
"Furthermore, since King Chujiang cannot find our whereabouts, he may be lying in wait near Jiangnan, which increases the risk!"
"That makes sense," White Phoenix said, looking at Chen Qing with a puzzled expression. "But didn't you say that only by going to Jiangnan could you escape the Yin-Yang Road?"
"That's how it was originally."
Chen Qing sighed. The ideal retreat route was of course Jiangnan. He could directly enter the Jiangnan Underworld, which was the best way for him to leave the Yin-Yang Road. He also wanted to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible. After all, he had received a message from Ziyue from Heavenly Secrets that the situation in Jiangnan was very bad and that he urgently needed to return to take charge.
But the roads there are basically inaccessible now.
We need to find a way. Chen Qing remembers there's a path that offers a chance, but it requires taking a gamble. He just doesn't know if that person is worth the risk.
