Chapter 1376: The Gentle Princess of the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan
Lin Moyu flew to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, but the fog did not dissipate. The fog connected the sky and the earth, making it futile to fly higher.
Lin Moyu decided to stop searching and wait for the fog to clear. "It's been about a thousand years, right?"
Xu Qingyang sighed, "It's been so long. Time flies. I didn't expect to sleep for so long."
"Is this really sleeping? It's more like being forced into slumber," Lin Moyu thought. Xu Qingyang seemed to have a carefree attitude, appearing indifferent to life and death.
Zhu Qiwu had mentioned that Xu Qingyang had a complicated background, which was why he had taken the risk to rescue him. A place that could trap even minor deities was bound to be dangerous, yet Zhu Qiwu still sent him in. Perhaps Zhu Qiwu was unaware of the situation inside, or maybe it was the will of higher authorities.
Xu Qingyang was indeed talkative, "Junior Brother Lin, when we twenty-three minor deities entered back then, how many of us made it out?"
Lin Moyu replied, "As far as I know, none of you made it out."
Xu Qingyang seemed to have expected this answer and sighed, "The chaotic rules are indeed dangerous, but when has cultivation ever been smooth sailing?"
Lin Moyu asked, "What races were the minor deities who entered with you back then?"
Xu Qingyang recalled, "There were members of the Sand Clan, Starry Sky Fishmen Clan, Buddhist Clan, and Bull Demon Clan..."
As expected, there were members of the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan. Lin Moyu thought of the small box he had found, which contained a delicate small sword. He had judged it to be an item of the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan, and now it was confirmed.
However, among these minor deities, there were no members of the Demon Clan. According to Xu Qingyang, there were members of the Demon Clan who entered, as well as minor deities from the Golden Eagle Clan. But they didn't make it to the Nether Swamp; they were killed in the Yellow Earth Desert.
Xu Qingyang was very powerful, among the top minor deities, just a step away from becoming a true deity. It wasn't surprising that he could kill minor deities from the Demon Clan and Golden Eagle Clan.
Xu Qingyang sighed again, "I didn't expect that even the one from the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan would be trapped here."
Lin Moyu was curious why Xu Qingyang suddenly mentioned the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan instead of other races. Was there something special about the minor deity from the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan?
"Was there something special about the one from the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan?" Lin Moyu asked.
Since the fog hadn't cleared, Lin Moyu didn't mind chatting with Xu Qingyang. He might get useful information from him.
Xu Qingyang said with a hint of emotion, "The one from the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan held a high position within their clan and mastered the laws of space."
Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback. Yu Qingrou also mastered the laws of space.
The Starry Sky Fishmen Clan was quite similar to the Human Clan in appearance and preferences. If not carefully distinguished, it was almost impossible to tell them apart. The main difference lay in their cultivation laws.
The Human Clan had a vast population and dabbled in various laws, covering almost everything. In contrast, the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan primarily focused on water and starry sky laws. Additionally, the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan had a unique trait: every so often, a member would awaken the ability to master space laws. This was a bloodline inheritance. Once the bloodline awakened, they could naturally master space laws without deliberate comprehension.
Space laws were among the top-tier laws, extremely difficult to comprehend, even more so than becoming a deity. Among the Human Clan, with a population exceeding a trillion, very few mastered top-tier laws, especially space laws, which were rare even among the top-tier laws. Lin Moyu had personally experienced Yu Qingrou's mastery of space laws and felt a bit envious.
Xu Qingyang sighed again, "That gentle princess was exceptionally talented, mastering space laws, coming and going freely, with nothing able to stop her. I thought that even if everyone else died, she would be able to escape. I didn't expect this."
Hearing the term "gentle princess," Lin Moyu asked, "Is 'gentle princess' her name?"
Xu Qingyang shook his head, "We called her 'gentle princess,' but her real name was Yu Qingrou, and she was a princess of the Starry Sky Fishmen Clan."
Lin Moyu was shocked, his expression becoming strange.
"Yu Qingrou, she was also called Yu Qingrou."
"Is it just a coincidence of names?"
"The gentle princess was a minor deity, while the Yu Qingrou I met wasn't even a God King. The difference is too great." Lin Moyu speculated that it might just be a coincidence of names.
If they met again in the future, he might ask her about it.
"It's a pity that such an exceptional woman also perished here," Xu Qingyang seemed lost in his memories, not noticing Lin Moyu's change in expression.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the distance, with powerful laws rippling through the air.
Lin Moyu saw a red light shining through the fog. Despite the fog obscuring his vision, he could tell it was the light from a tombstone.
Having watched the ancient images many times, Lin Moyu was very familiar with the red light from the tombstones.
The rumbling grew more intense, indicating that the battle within the fog was becoming fiercer.
Lin Moyu guessed that the battle was between the ape-like monsters and the First Army of the Nether Legion.
Such battles had been ongoing for countless years.
Xu Qingyang said, "It's starting again. When I first fell into slumber, I was awakened several times by such noises."
Lin Moyu didn't respond to Xu Qingyang's words but carefully identified the direction of the sound.
The fog interfered with the transmission of sound, making it seem like it came from all directions.
However, Lin Moyu managed to roughly pinpoint the direction and believed that was where he needed to go. The rumbling continued for a long time before gradually subsiding.
As the battle ceased, the fog began to dissipate.
From high above, Lin Moyu could see the swamp, the ground, and the ape-like monsters coming back into view.
He immediately flew towards the source of the sound he had identified earlier.
A stream of light streaked across the gray sky at extreme speed.
Here, if one couldn't fly, they would face endless pursuit by the ape-like monsters, making it impossible to move even an inch, even for a minor deity.
But once able to fly, it was like walking on flat ground, with no danger at all.
The only thing to be cautious of was not to look at the ape-like monsters, as that would draw their attention and lead to an attack.
After a dozen minutes, a massive stone stele came into view.
The stone stele was enormous, with a width of five thousand meters and a height far exceeding ten thousand meters.
It stood between heaven and earth like a pillar, awe-inspiring.
Xu Qingyang murmured, "It's so big. I underestimated it before."
Of course, he had underestimated it. He had only seen it vaguely while being chased and on the ground, so he couldn't see it clearly.
Lin Moyu ignored Xu Qingyang's amazement and stopped a thousand meters away from the stone stele to observe.
At the base of the stone stele, also a thousand meters away, a group of ape-like monsters roamed.
These ape-like monsters were larger and more powerful than the ones he had seen before. They were the minor deity-level ape-like monsters Xu Qingyang had mentioned.
Lin Moyu only glanced at them briefly before looking away, knowing that looking too long would be dangerous.
On the massive stone stele, a line of large characters was inscribed.
"Nether Legion, First Army, Tomb of the Legion Commander, You Yi."
