 Chapter 1379: Clear Grudges, Collecting Some Interest First

Lin Moyu knew he wasn't mistaken; it was indeed Yu Qingrou. 

Her demeanor, appearance, and even her aura were exactly the same as Yu Qingrou.

According to Xu Qingyang, this Yu Qingrou was known as Princess Rou, and she was incredibly powerful, repeatedly escaping the pursuit of the ape-like monsters.

But as more and more ape-like monsters surrounded her, combined with the interference of the fog, she was eventually cornered.

In the end, like many others, she fled into the swamp, reaching the center and finding the tombstone.

Lin Moyu knew that the reason she was in such a dire situation was because the Nether Swamp restricted her space laws and also limited her ability to fly.

Otherwise, no matter how many ape-like monsters there were, they wouldn't have been able to catch her.

With space laws, she could come and go freely, almost impossible to kill.

Coming to such a ghostly place was just bad luck for Yu Qingrou.

Princess Rou didn't just sit idly by the tombstone; she took out her jade box and summoned the small sword from it.

The small sword was incredibly powerful, unleashing astonishing strength that almost tore through space.

Princess Rou entered the space torn by the small sword and disappeared.

After she left, the small sword returned to the box and fell at the foot of the tombstone.

"She didn't die... she ultimately escaped."

Lin Moyu murmured to himself, "Princess Rou didn't die, but what about Yu Qingrou?"

"Princess Rou is a minor deity, while Yu Qingrou is only at the ninth rank of a true god. The difference is significant."

"Could it be that something happened during her escape?"

Lin Moyu couldn't think of any other reason.

He was certain that the Princess Rou in the images and the Yu Qingrou he encountered were the same person.

There are similar people in the world, but it's rare to find someone exactly the same.

Even if there is a 99.99% similarity, a strong person at the ninth rank of a true god can still see the 0.01% difference.

In the images, Lin Moyu saw the minor deity from the Sand Clan.

He was truly dead, with nothing left.

The one from the Buddhist Clan escaped further, reaching the swamp of the seventy-first squad before dying, and indeed left something behind.

It was a Buddha statue.

The swamp of the seventy-first squad was one he hadn't searched yet.

But looking at the current progress of Xiao Ming Buddha, it was unlikely he would find it.

Xiao Ming Buddha didn't dare enter the center of the swamp, and searching for another thousand years would be futile.

If he was unlucky and attracted the ape-like monsters, he might even die.

The scene before him disappeared, and his consciousness returned to his body.

At the same time, a piece of information came to him, and Lin Moyu knew how to leave.

There were two ways to leave: one was that every hundred years, an exit would appear in the sky.

Through this gap, one could leave the Nether Swamp and return directly to the great world.

This gap was a wound left from the great battle years ago, which had never healed.

Even if one couldn't fly here, with the ability of a minor deity, jumping tens of thousands of meters and entering the exit wouldn't be a problem.

The second way was through the tombstone of the Legion Commander.

Because Lin Moyu had colored the inscriptions on the tombstones, he had gained their recognition and could open the passage within the tombstone to return to the Yellow Earth Desert.

From there, he could return to the great world through the Yellow Earth Desert.

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't wait for decades and would choose the passage within the tombstone.

But now, besides him, there were three others still unconscious in the Nether Swamp...

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Moyu had a plan.

He put away Xu Qingyang's soul orb, and the Flash Wizard appeared on his shoulder. He transformed into a stream of light and flew into the distance.

First, he arrived at the tombstone of the seventy-first squad, quickly activating it and coloring the inscriptions.

In just a few minutes, he had a Buddha statue in his hand.

The Buddha statue emitted a Buddha light, still bright after thousands of years of corrosion in the swamp.

"It is indeed a good item, consider it interest."

Without hesitation, Lin Moyu put it away.

Previously, Kong Wen Buddha had tried to kill him, and although he had counter-killed him, the Buddhist Clan still owed him a blood debt.

The strong of the Human Clan stood up for him, but that was the Human Clan's matter, and this debt would eventually be collected by him.

For now, he would collect some interest.

As for Xiao Ming Buddha, although Lin Moyu didn't like the Buddhist Clan, he believed in clear accounts even among brothers. Xiao Ming Buddha hadn't harmed him, and they had even cooperated briefly.

So Lin Moyu didn't plan to leave him here. He knew that if Xiao Ming Buddha continued searching here, he wouldn't last decades until the next exit opened.

Based on the location he had just seen, Lin Moyu quickly found the unconscious Xiao Ming Buddha and the other two.

Using laws to form ropes, he dragged the three into the sky and brought them to the tombstone of the Legion Commander.

After placing them down, Lin Moyu waited quietly.

About a day later, Xiao Ming Buddha was the first to wake up.

His eyes quickly regained clarity, and he looked around warily. Seeing Lin Moyu, he relaxed slightly.

"Amitabha!" Xiao Ming Buddha chanted a Buddha's name, hiding a trace of unease in his heart.

The irresistible force he had felt earlier made him feel powerless.

Even from a Buddha, he had never felt such a level of power.

That power was too strong, so strong that he couldn't resist, feeling like an ant that could be easily crushed.

After calming down, Xiao Ming Buddha said, "Did Daoist Lin save me?"

Lin Moyu didn't deny it, "It was just a small effort."

In a sense, it was indeed Lin Moyu who had saved Xiao Ming Buddha.

If he had left him alone, Xiao Ming Buddha would have surely died.

Xiao Ming Buddha wasn't one to procrastinate and immediately said, "I will remember this kindness and repay it in the future if I have the chance."

Lin Moyu smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Xiao Ming Buddha then asked, "Daoist Lin, where is this place?"

Lin Moyu glanced at the still unconscious Black Sand God King and Erosion God King, "Let's wait for the two Daoists to wake up before discussing it."

Xiao Ming Buddha nodded and didn't press further.

After a while, the Black Sand God King finally woke up, looking as fearful as Xiao Ming Buddha.

The last to wake up was the Erosion God King, who had the lowest realm and was the first to faint and the last to wake up.

Once all three were awake, Lin Moyu finally explained how to leave.

He pointed to the tombstone and said, "This is the exit of the Nether Swamp. I found a way to open it."

"Besides this, there's another way to leave. Every hundred years, a gap appears in the sky, and you can leave through it."

"But before the gap opens, you might face some danger." Lin Moyu pointed into the distance.

Xiao Ming Buddha strained his eyes and finally saw the monsters Lin Moyu was pointing at.

There were a few ape-like monsters wandering aimlessly. They emitted no aura and couldn't be sensed by the soul, only visible to the naked eye.

Before they attacked, it was impossible to gauge their strength.

Xiao Ming Buddha asked, "How strong are they?"

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "They should be about the same as you, little Buddha. You can go and try."

Xiao Ming Buddha thought for a moment and shook his head, "No need."

Just then, an ape-like monster suddenly raised its head and looked at Xiao Ming Buddha.

Its eyes glowed with ferocity, and Xiao Ming Buddha's face changed. He felt himself being locked onto by a powerful, deadly, and violent aura.

This aura was very strong and terrifying, not weaker than himself.

Then, dozens of auras locked onto him, and several ape-like monsters charged at him.
