Chapter 765: The Hand that Covers the Sky!
Fang Yu compared and found it was indeed true!
Although the treasure map only had simple lines, the overall outline of the map matched perfectly with the outline of the deep northern region on the map in Cang Lan’s hand!
In other words, this treasure map was a map of the deep northern region!
“It really is related…” Fang Yu patted his forehead, his face full of disbelief.
He had just had a flash of inspiration, suddenly remembering the treasure map in his hand that he had never understood.
But unexpectedly, once he took it out, it actually connected with the vast area before them.
“There’s a line of text here, can you understand it?” Fang Yu flipped the treasure map over, showing Cang Lan the incomprehensible text.
Cang Lan looked at the line of text, furrowed his brow, shook his head, and said, “I can’t understand it either.”
“I see… then let’s just look at the map.” Fang Yu flipped the treasure map back and carefully examined its contents.
Having confirmed that the outline of the treasure map was indeed this deep northern region, the route drawn on the treasure map became clear.
Combined with the map in Cang Lan’s hand, they could quickly determine their current position and the direction indicated by the path on the treasure map.
“According to the route on this map, we should go in that direction.” Cang Lan pointed to a position to the left of their front, and said.
“Then let’s go that way,” Fang Yu said.
“But… you can’t even understand a single word on this map… how can you be sure it’s a treasure map? What if it’s not?” Cang Lan frowned.
“The route is drawn out, with plenty of markers, what else could it be if not a treasure map?” Fang Yu countered.
“It’s hard to say. Without being certain about the contents of this map, I don’t recommend taking risks,” Cang Lan said. “The deeper we go, the more dangers we might encounter…”
“You’re right. Let’s first follow your route to get the Taisu Snow Lotus, and then check out this place on our way back,” Fang Yu said, putting the treasure map back into the storage space of his Spirit Ring.
“On our way here, I saw many traces of human activity… I think there must be many people ahead of us,” Cang Lan said with a grave expression.
“Yes, I was just about to say that,” Fang Yu smiled. “From now on, let’s travel by car.”
While Cang Lan was still in a daze, Fang Yu had already summoned that strand of Xuanran energy from within his body.
With a thought, the Xuanran energy emitted a strong glow.
As the light gradually expanded, the outline of a war chariot appeared.
The entire body of the chariot gleamed with golden light.
It had only four wheels, but from the front of the chariot emerged a lion’s head with a gaping bloody mouth, looking fierce and imposing.
The interior was extremely spacious, with seats softer than ordinary sofas, exuding luxury.
This was the Imperial War Chariot built by Lin Batian using a strand of Xuanran energy.
Just as Lin Batian had boasted, in his day, he had won the hearts of many female Daoist companions with this chariot…
“Now, let’s charge forward in this war chariot,” Fang Yu said to Cang Lan, who was already stunned beside him.
“Absolutely not… such a large magical artifact will definitely attract the attention of other beasts…” Cang Lan came to his senses and said.
“Don’t worry, this isn’t a magical artifact, it won’t emit any aura… Even if beasts discover us, they won’t be able to touch us,” Fang Yu smiled.
After speaking, Fang Yu sat inside the chariot, leaned back in the front seat, and stretched lazily.
Cang Lan stood in place and said, “Fang Yu, are you sure…”
“I’m sure this war chariot can withstand the pressure of heaven and earth, and won’t attract any beast’s attention,” Fang Yu said.
Cang Lan bit his lip, stepped forward, and sat in the back seat.
“We’re now about eight hundred kilometers away from the location you marked…” As Fang Yu spoke, the war chariot was already rising into the sky.
Then, it stopped at a height of about two hundred meters.
At this point, the surrounding pressure had reached an extremely severe level.
But for this war chariot, it wasn’t too much of a burden.
“Let’s go,” Fang Yu said.
“Whoosh!”
The next second, the Imperial War Chariot shot forward like a rocket, moving at an extremely fast speed.
“Eight hundred kilometers, at this speed it will take about half an hour. You can rest for a while,” Fang Yu turned to Cang Lan and said.
At this moment, Cang Lan was watching the scenery rapidly passing by.
The roof of the chariot emitted a faint energy, isolating the cold wind and pressure from outside the chariot.
Thus, Cang Lan inside the chariot felt quite comfortable, as warm and pleasant as being in bed at home.
He couldn’t even believe that he was now flying through the air in the depths of the northern region!
It’s worth noting that the last time he came here, every step forward was a huge test for him, requiring him to endure great difficulties!
But now, sitting in the war chariot, a distance that would take him half an hour to walk on the ground was covered in less than a second…
“This person… just who…”
Cang Lan stared blankly at the back of Fang Yu’s head in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.
In fact, Fang Yu had just figured it out.
He had originally planned to slowly make his way in with Cang Lan.
But seeing so many traces left by humans along the way, he knew time was of the essence.
At their original pace, they might not see anything at all.
So, he thought of the Xuanran energy and the Imperial War Chariot.
Even if the Imperial War Chariot did attract the attention of certain beings, it didn’t matter.
At worst, they would stop and fight.
While pondering, Fang Yu took out the treasure map again and began to study it carefully.
……
Fifteen minutes later.
A family clan team had just emerged from the snow forest onto the great snow plain.
“Whoosh…”
At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from behind in the sky.
Everyone’s expressions changed slightly. Looking up, they saw a golden light streaking across the sky, leaving a long golden beam of light behind, incredibly brilliant.
“What is…”
The entire team was stunned.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu on the war chariot had already stuck his head out to look at the scenery below.
“Another snow plain, what’s ahead?” Fang Yu frowned, pondering.
After entering the snow plain, the pressure from heaven and earth increased again.
But the speed of the Imperial War Chariot still didn’t decrease at all.
Fang Yu stared at the snow plain below. From such a high angle, he could see the figures of several teams.
“There are indeed quite a few people heading towards that location…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.
As the Imperial War Chariot swept over the sky, the various family clan teams below also noticed it.
They all stopped in their tracks, staring with wide eyes at this chariot that was rushing forward like a rocket, their expressions dazed.
“What is that thing?”
“I couldn’t see clearly either… it seemed like just a beam of light?”
“What beam of light? It’s clearly a vehicle-type magical artifact!”
Hearing the last sentence, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, their expressions changing dramatically!
If what flew overhead was a vehicle-type magical artifact… it meant someone was sitting on it!
They had worked hard, expended great effort, endured hardships, and spent nearly a day to reach this place.
But this vehicle-type magical artifact instantly surpassed them… this was unacceptable!
It was like a group of people taking an exam, but someone was cheating. It felt extremely unfair!
“How is this possible? In this place where even normal true energy is difficult to release, how could someone still operate and control a magical artifact!?” someone questioned loudly.
But no one could answer his question.
Though angry, they were helpless.
The various teams could only grit their teeth and continue forward with all their might.
In two or three minutes, the Imperial War Chariot flew over that snow plain.
Two snow mountains appeared in front, with a narrow path between them.
“After passing through this narrow path, we’ll reach the place I went to last time,” Cang Lan, sitting in the back, swallowed and said.
“Is that so? Then we need to speed up even more,” Fang Yu said.
“Whoosh!”
The speed of the Imperial War Chariot increased again.
Like a golden arrow, it rushed towards the depths of the narrow path.
In just a few dozen seconds, it overtook several family clan teams, heading forward.
Those family clan teams walking on the narrow path were already struggling just to maintain their walking posture.
Seeing the Imperial War Chariot sweeping through the sky, these people were all dumbfounded.
What on earth was that thing…
……
A three-person team walking in a relatively forward position also looked up at the chariot sweeping through the sky.
“Miss, this…” a man’s face was shocked.
“Pay no attention, continue forward,” the woman said calmly.
……
At this time, the Demon Cult’s team was at the forefront of the narrow path.
“Whoosh…”
The sound of breaking through the air came.
Tianmo immediately made a gesture, signaling everyone to stop.
Then, Tianmo looked up and saw the golden flash that instantly rushed by.
“Lord Tianmo, what is…” the woman beside him, her eyes shocked, couldn’t help but ask.
“There are two humans up there,” Tianmo said in a low voice.
“How can they use magical artifacts in such a place!? Won’t that will be discovered by them?” the man on the other side widened his eyes and asked.
“Perhaps they won’t be discovered up front, but once they go a bit further… they will definitely alarm that will. So, these two humans are already walking towards death. We don’t need to pay attention to them, just continue forward at our original pace,” Tianmo said.
Hearing Tianmo’s words, the Demon Cult members behind all breathed a sigh of relief.
……
“Fang Yu, we must stop!” Cang Lan’s expression changed as he slapped Fang Yu’s shoulder.
Looking at the rapidly passing scenery beside them, he realized that it wouldn’t be long before the chariot rushed out of the narrow path.
Once out of the narrow path, such an eye-catching chariot would definitely attract the attention of that monster!
By then, it would be too late!
But as Cang Lan was speaking, the Imperial War Chariot had already “whooshed” out of the narrow path.
In front was a cliff, with a bottomless, pitch-black abyss below.
The opposite shore could be seen, about two thousand meters away from the cliff.
And the only path from the cliff at the narrow path entrance to the opposite shore was an iron chain connecting the two sides.
At this point, the Imperial War Chariot carrying Fang Yu and Cang Lan had already rushed out over the cliff, flying towards the opposite shore.
In just a second, it had already flown nearly halfway.
Only about a thousand meters remained to the opposite shore.
“It’s fine, there’s nothing…” Before Fang Yu could finish speaking, he felt the sky darken!
Looking up, he saw a huge hand, as vast as a mountain range yet crystal clear, emitting a white jade glow, extending from the cloud layer above!
This hand was at least five hundred meters long…
It came down from the sky, seemingly trying to grab the rapidly charging Imperial War Chariot.
Fang Yu and Cang Lan, sitting in the chariot, only felt the world around them become extremely dark in an instant.
This white jade giant palm descending from the sky… was blocking out the sun and sky!
