Chapter 2420 Invading Panlong Ancient City!
The immortals understood that the fire dragon had been extinguished by a spell conjured by the Earth Mother. The Yinshan Immortal, shading his eyes with his hand, cursed, "How on earth does this damned thing control the Ghost City?!"
In mid-air, the immortals and demons engaged in another round of chasing and fighting. However, Venerable Mingyao blocked True Person Sihai's path, saying:
"Don't rush. It's too dangerous for Yujing City to sink underground. We shouldn't follow. There are too many strange things in the city."
Master Sihai was worried: "What if Mother Earth runs away?"
“The Panlong Ruins are bait. The Earth Mother won’t leave until she swallows it.” Venerable Mingyao shook his head. “Yujing City will soon rise to the surface again. We’ll just wait.”
Venerable Mingyao had just left Yujing City and was deeply impressed by the chaos and danger of the city, so his words carried considerable weight. Master Sihai hesitated slightly, but did not insist further.
This time, Yujing City sank in just over two quarters of an hour, leaving behind an enormous, deep pit in its original location.
A little over two quarters of an hour later, this was the most outrageous scene to have unfolded on the Chipa Plateau in the last 160 or 170 years:
To the northeast of the Panlong Ruins, there used to be a crisscrossing network of waterways. From here, the city of Yujing slowly rose to the surface, first with some spires, then with all sorts of large trees and buildings...
The interplay of light and shadow under the setting sun creates a scene that will be unforgettable for anyone who witnesses it.
For over a hundred years, except when the city fell, no force had ever bypassed the ruins of Panlong like this.
However, it occupied the position of the bridgehead of the Chipa Plateau, leaving no gaps for the surrounding areas. In the later period of the Panlong Calendar, due to the terrain of the Chipa Plateau bridgehead, Panlong City had already incorporated the parts that could be extended here into the city.
This means that the Earth Mother's best dumpling-making technique is not very effective.
Therefore, its strategy was to appear directly in the northeast direction of Panlong Ruins, almost right next to the city wall of Panlong Ruins, preparing to start its encroachment from there.
Although it's not as quick as making dumplings, it's more reliable.
The south gate of Panlong City was outrageously strong, a fact the Earth Mother had long heard of. Therefore, she chose to attack from the northeast wall of the Panlong Ruins. This area faced the fertile heartland of the Chipa Plateau, her own territory, so the wall in this direction did not need to be as strong and tall as the south gate.
Even so, when the gate of Yujing City pressed down on the northeast section of the Panlong Ruins city wall, it failed to collapse for a long time.
This is the real Panlong City Wall, a high wall built with the painstaking efforts of Panlong City in the past. It is not comparable to those paper-thin things in the fake secret realm!
"Give it your all!" The Earth Mother's roar echoed through the sky, and even more Mystic Crystals in Jade Capital City were thrown into the embrace of the Heart Flame.
Finally, the northeast wall of Panlongcheng could no longer hold, collapsing like a mountain of gold and a pillar of jade, stirring up clouds of dust.
"Sigh—!" Dong Rui, who was watching this scene from a distance, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
If He Lingchuan could see it with his own eyes, how would he feel?
Dong Rui never asked in detail, but he knew that He Lingchuan had an exceptionally deep affection for Panlong Ancient City, and this scene would most likely make him heartbroken.
This ancient city, which has stood in the wilderness for more than 170 years, may never be able to embrace its homeland again.
After the northeast section of the city wall of Panlong Ruins collapsed, the city wall of Yujing City also disappeared. The city walls of the two ancient cities were opened, and the buildings inside finally faced each other.
The bird-like demons circling high in the sky would discover that the city gates and many buildings of Yujing City had actually turned into quicksand, and as if guided, they quickly "flowed" into the Panlong Ruins, much like the rapid disintegration of a sandcastle after the tide rises.
However, after these quicksands entered Panlong Ancient City, they were rebuilt in the gaps throughout the city, and their style continued the unrestrained and unconventional style of Yujing City, which was completely out of sync with the overall desolate and majestic atmosphere of Panlong Ancient City.
Even the immortals in the sky were moved to tears by this sight.
Yujing City is gradually infiltrating Panlong Ancient City, from its foundation to its buildings, from underground to above ground, slowly integrating itself with it. In the end, the two will merge into one, inseparable, each containing the other.
The Earth Mother has many methods for dealing with troublesome ruins, and this is the most energy-intensive but also the most reliable. Although it is in a hurry now, it understands even more clearly that it cannot be taken lightly when collecting the Panlong Ruins.
Because this treasure is also related to the Dafanghu (a large square pot)!
If it successfully takes away the Panlong Relics, wouldn't the Dafanghu go with it?
In mid-air, Master Yinshan stared intently for a long time, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper:
"No, Du Zhishan isn't in the north of the city anymore!"
Before Yujing City sank, he clearly remembered the locations of Changfeng Valley and Duzhi Mountain.
However, after Yujing City rose to the surface, especially during the process of devouring Panlong Ancient City, countless buildings and terrain within the city seemed to have shifted.
Du Zhishan is no longer in his original position.
Such a large city has an incredibly complex terrain with several mountain ranges and countless peaks. The Earth Mother is also deliberately concealing the location of Duzhi Mountain. Where are the immortals supposed to find it?
Venerable Mingyao said solemnly, "The Earth Mother has the ability to change the layout of cities at will. It's fortunate that we didn't follow into the underground, otherwise we would have already been manipulated by her to cut us apart and defeat us one by one!"
The underground is pitch black. The Earth Mother can change the layout of the buildings at will and separate the immortals, thus changing the balance of power.
"As for Du Zhishan's current location—" Mingyao said.
Zun's gaze swept across the entire city. "Ming Ke left a mark at the foot of Duzhi Mountain. No matter how the buildings in the city change, the mark will remain the same."
He suddenly pointed south of the city: "There it is! In those mountains!"
It turned out that the Earth Mother had used the method of hiding trees in the forest, concealing the Changfeng Valley base and Duzhi Mountain among the continuous mountain peaks. When the immortals looked down from high above, they could only see the endless mountains; how could they possibly distinguish which one was their destination?
"Immortal Mingke is indeed meticulous," praised Master Sihai. "Let's go and see what secrets Mount Duzhi holds!"

He Lingchuan and the other two traveled in silence, rarely speaking to each other because they were wary of the master of the secret realm.
"We've arrived! The Earth Mother's Nest is just ahead!"
They were already quite far from the three rows of houses where the servants lived, and there was a mountain pass right in front of them.
In reality, it is a huge mountain crevice with an irregular opening, resembling a ripped-open leather bag.
When He Lingchuan saw it through the eyeball spider on Shangguan Biao's back, he remembered the huge stone cave in Fengmo Mountain, below the Xiaoyao Sect's residence, which was the passage through which the Ziwu Gangfeng (a type of wind) passed.
Before they even reached the crack in the ground, they could feel the strong wind howling upwards from underground. Those with unsteady legs were about to fall.
The light in the secret realm was very bright, but it couldn't penetrate the darkness below.
