Chapter 418 Charming Spring Ligh

"My Lord, my Lord…"

"Brother Yang…"

…

After seeing the silhouette of Yang Ling, the people like the Corpse Wizard King and the Dark Dragon King rushed towards him in joy. Among them came the Mermaid Evelyn, whose eyes were red.

After Yang Ling was pulled into the unfathomably deep cave by the crazed Pharaoh King Mobli, people like the Corpse Wizard King and Brent tried all means possible in hopes of rescuing Yang Ling, who was not known to be dead or alive. They were helpless after the cave closed up, and the ground covering the cave was hard beyond belief. After digging three inches deep, they realized that there was only hard soil, loose rock, and no cave. It was strange.

After getting nothing from half a day's hard work, they had a bad feeling. Some, like the Corpse Wizard King and Immet, felt grave and did not speak a word; they just dug at the hard surface like crazy. If they didn't have tools, they dug with their hands. On the other hand, Mermaid Evelyn just clutched anxiously at the Staff of Life. It had been hard to come by. Thinking of Yang Ling's voice and smiling expression, her eyes went red as she silently prayed for him.

The Pharaoh King's items were definitely great treasures not to be missed. After not being able to get the Teleportation Portal, the various powerful factions were incredibly interested in the Staff of Life that had dropped onto the ground.

With her quick reflexes, Evelyn quickly grabbed the Staff of Life and hugged it tightly to herself. She was immediately surrounded by the various factions, so a great battle could erupt anytime. If not for the fact that the Corpse Wizard King had led the Magical Beasts Army in support of Evelyn, that the various powerful factions gave Yang Ling face, and that the factions did not want to Yang Ling as an enemy, Evelyn would definitely not be able to keep her precious Staff of Life.

Her wish might have been fulfilled. She had gotten the Staff of Life, but unexpectedly, Yang Ling, who had been her great supporter…

After escaping from the collapsing Underground Tomb, after seeing the lucky survivors of troops and adventurers teleporting out one by one – but with no sign of Yang Ling – Evelyn's heart was suffering from waves of agony, and people like the Corpse Wizard King and the Dark Dragon King looked grave. Even though no one was willing to admit it, everyone knew that under the circumstances, Yang Ling had no chance of survival.

No one expected that just as the Underground Tomb was about to completely collapse, a miracle happened!

"Hehehe, the Pharaoh King wanted to drag me along to accompany him in his death, but then he found me too poor, so he let me escape again!" Looking at the overjoyed people around him, Yang Ling smiled.

This time around, even though he nearly died in the hands of the crazed Pharaoh King, it was a blessing in disguise since he got his hands on the rich spoils of battle. There was not much more that needed to be said about how valuable the Teleportation Portal and the Ring of the Earth were, but just the accumulated fortunes of gemstones and top-quality crystals from the generations of Pharaoh Kings were enough for him to enjoy. If he were to change them all into Purple Crystal Coins, he believed that he would not be able to finish spending it not just in this lifetime, but not even in his next lifetime!

"Brother Yang Ling, what happened after you fell into the cave?" Seeing that Yang Ling had successfully escaped, people like Elder Klive and Stuart came closer at the same time, asking about the Pharaoh King's whereabouts in a roundabout way, unable to let go of the Teleportation Portal.

"Aye, it's embarrassing for me to speak of it!" Yang Ling understood what the Elder Klive really meant by his question. After shaking his head, he continued, "After being accidentally dragged into the unfathomably deep cave by the Pharaoh Kng Mobli, I wasn't able to react before hitting my head hard on a hard piece of rock. When I woke up, I discovered that I had fallen on top of a protruding stone slab. There was an unfathomably deep hole beside it. I guess the Pharaoh must have continued falling into the hole. Thankfully before the Underground Tomb had collapsed, a crack appeared near the stone slab. If not, I would really have been buried alive to accompany the crazed old fellow in death!"

According the Pharaoh King Mobli's memories, back then the Teleportation Portal was the greatest weapon of the mysterious elder in the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons. Not only could it allow one to freely come and go from the Graveyard of the Deities and Demons, it also had a powerful attacking ability. It was just that the past generations of Pharaoh Kings were unable to master it. With such a great treasure, if it were snatched from the Pharaoh King's hands by all the various factions present, Yang Ling would not mind sharing it with them. But this was gotten by risking his own life, which had many close calls. Naturally, he would not hand it over so easily.

Kept falling down?

Thinking of the cave they could not detect with their Mental Energy, Faern and Elder Klive shook their heads bitterly. The Underground Tomb was full of traps everywhere. The entrance to the cave had just suddenly closed up, with not even a seam to be found. How could they go down to look for the whereabouts of the Pharaoh King?! Furthermore, the Underground Tomb had completely collapsed and was now a huge lake. They feared that wanting to find the whereabouts of the Pharaoh King and the Teleportation Portal would be more difficult than directly breaking through the obstacle of time and space!

Their mission had completely failed!

People like Faern and Elder Klive felt grave. This time around, they brought along with them huge numbers of elites, looking to secure the legendary Teleportation Portal for sure. They did not expect that just as they were given the chance, the Teleportation Portal would be brushed past them before they were sent to an unfathomably deep cave by the Pharaoh King, causing them to lose many of their men to injuries and death…with nothing to show for it!

"Brother Yang Ling, you must strengthen the defenses on your land in time to come. If you run into any trouble, you can come to our Fire God Mountain to stay for awhile!" Looking at the huge lake from afar, Faern understood that there was no hope of digging the Teleportation Portal out and decided to immediately return to report back, shaking his head.

While he might not have completed his mission this time around, he again got to witness Yang Ling's capabilities. He had also used the Magic Teleportation Portals that Yang Ling had set up to escape this time, so he owed him a huge favor. As a sly old fox, he also knew that the Church would not let Yang Ling off once they had gotten the news, so before he left, he gave Yang Ling a friendly reminder.

"Lord Faern, don't worry; I won't be too formal with you!" Thinking of the vengeance that was to come from the Church, Yang Ling forced a smile.

Even if they had a friendship of sorts, there were no concrete benefits established, so Faern's Sect of the Fire God would definitely not engage in battle with the powerful Church for him. But the friendship was good enough for Faern to make a promise to shelter him when he had no other way out.

Should he just take the Teleportation Portal as a condition to get the other powerful factions to help him deal with the powerful Church?

Watching Faern, Elder Klive, and others leave one by one, Yang Ling had a sudden thought about the purpose of their journey. But after hesitating, he decided to give up on that idea.

The Teleportation Portal was simply too valuable. Once the news had spread, he would certainly attract huge numbers of Experts with ill intentions. Even if the Dark Association and the Bellimore Family were to send heavily armed soldiers as guards, he feared that even they would not be able to prevent the endless streams of people wanting to seize the Teleportation Portal by force, which would bring several hidden dangers and trouble to his Realm.

Besides, the Church was very powerful. It was still not known if the other various factions would be willing to make an enemy out of the Church and help him battle against the Church's furious vengeance for the sake the Teleportation Portal. If that was the case, he might as well calm down and study the mystery behind the Teleportation Portal and the Ring of the Earth so he could rapidly increase his own power!

Even though the Church was very powerful, Yang Ling believed that there was a chance he could successfully go against them as long as he could set Restrictions, ambushes, and traps. If not, he could move his people to overseas islands to hide out temporarily. Or he might as well just move them into the Wizard Pagoda's Space.

After getting Yang Ling to reveal some information, Faern, Klive, and others led their people to leave hastily, one after another. The surviving troops and adventurers also strode off soon after. Some were lucky enough to snag a few gemstones and crystals, but others had nothing to show for except for a body full of injuries.

After seeing the various factions leave, Yang Ling fell silent in thought for awhile before speaking. He said, "Roke, send people to set up camp nearby. Then check if the Magical Teleportation Formation is in working order. We'll head back to Jaboli after resting for a few hours!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Corpse Wizard King, Rodriguez, left on Yang Ling's command. Since the Corpse Wizard King used to have an awe-inspiring reputation in the Dimension of Dead Souls, he had a stronger ability in moving troops and setting formations than Yang Ling. Despite that he was a bit perverted and had an eccentric aesthetic sense, so far he had not disappointed Yang Ling in whatever Yang Ling had instructed him to do.

"Brother Yang Ling, don't move; you're hurt!" Looking at Yang Ling's pale face and the bloodstains on his body, the Mermaid Evelyn muttered a mantra, casting the Regeneration Spell. In an instant, a silver light flashed and Yang Ling felt more refreshed and energized.

After casting a few Object Assimilation Restrictions over huge areas and teleporting all the way out, Yang Ling's Wizard Power and Mental Energy in his body were completely depleted. Even though he was worried that the Church's Experts would be in pursuit of him, he also had no choice but to rest for a few hours. He did not think that the Regeneration Spell, which was cast by the Mermaid wearing the flowing white robe, would help him more or less recover his Mental Energy. It was better than swallowing a few Magical Beast Blood Orbs.

"Hehe, no problem. These bloodstains are all from the Pharaoh King!" After his Mental Energy had rapidly recovered, Yang Ling was full of energy and vigor. "I didn't think that the same Regeneration spell when cast inside and outside the Underground Tomb would be so different!"

While digging out a clean, white handkerchief, the Mermaid Evelyn said, "As long as there's water, us Sea Tribes will be the strongest. Yang Ling, come here, let me help you wash the blood stains off of your body!" She took the handkerchief to the lake to put it inside the water. After soaking it, she used it to wipe the bloodstains and dirt off of Yang Ling's clothes. Her movements were gentle, delicate, and had a hint of shyness that only young girls would show.

Her petite figure showed vaguely through the white robe. Maybe she was nervous, or maybe it was because she was walking around, but her firm and erect twin peaks would gently jiggle like little rabbits from time to time. In the Spring breeze, her jet-black hair danced in the wind, casting a pretty reflection in the crystal clear lake water. Green mountains, clear waters, her black hair, and the white robe…it looked exceptionally exquisite and charming.

Seeing their two silhouettes, the Dark Dragon King and the party of the Sea Tribe all tactfully retreated.

"Tsk, tsk, how fragrant. It's more fragrant than lake water!" Looking at the gentle Mermaid beside him and inhaling her light virgin fragrance, Yang Ling smiled and sniffed through his nose exaggeratedly.

"It can't be. How can lake water have a fragrance?" Evelyn's face turned red.

"If it were a bunch of troops standing here, the lake would definitely have no smell. But with our beautiful Miss Evelyn standing here, the lake water smells nice!" Seeing the Evelyn's red face, Yang Ling smiled and paused. Then he said, "From now on, this lake shall be known as the Fragrant Lake!"

After understanding that Yang Ling was only teasing her, Evelyn protested loudly. "No, that name is too awful!"

Thinking about the crystal coffins that he did not manage to save in time, Yang Ling subconsciously said, "Ok, then let's call it the Crystal Lake!"

…

Their laughter created the namesake of the Crystal Lake. Rumor had it that on every full moon, a mysterious crystal cave would appear at the bottom of the lake, attracting large numbers of tourists.
