Return to the City: The Strongest King-Chapter 1741 - 1681: Dragon Gate Base (Part 2)
Capítulo 1741: Chapter 1681: Dragon Gate Base (Part 2)
Lin Feng said, “This is unnecessary. Actually, we don’t know exactly how to activate it. We just heard from the Sect Leader that once you all are there, you’ll naturally know how to activate it.”
“That sounds quite fantastical,” Song Xiaodong grinned.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, “Our Dragon Gate has some fantastical things, which don’t seem to be that big of a deal. At the very least, this Guardian Gate Formation is fantastical enough, isn’t it?”
Song Xiaodong thought so too, as this Guardian Gate Formation had already completely exceeded his understanding.
Moreover, thinking about it, Song Xiaodong suddenly felt an impulse and said, “Elder Lin, I want to go see the Dragon Gate Base before Qingluan arrives. What do you think?”
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, “I feel there’s really a necessity for this. When it’s time to open the Guardian Gate Formation, we’re likely to have to be elsewhere to contain the Dark Night Sect, so they won’t focus on the Dragon Gate Base.”
Song Xiaodong was delighted upon hearing this and said, “Then arrange it immediately. I want to see what our Dragon Gate Base is really like.”
This, for Song Xiaodong, was also something he was very much anticipating, as even though he was the Dragon Gate Young Master, he still felt the Dragon Gate Base was a very mysterious place.
Chapter 1682
Song Xiaodong was going to the Dragon Gate Base, which was also quite a significant event, and the Dark Night Sect must not find out about it. If they did know, they would undoubtedly suspect this aspect was going to enter the base.
Therefore, the number of people going to the Dragon Gate Base this time must be very limited. Also, important figures in Dragon Gate should try not to go, otherwise, the movement of people here would also arouse suspicion from the Dark Night Sect.
In the end, Song Xiaodong decided to bring Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling, and then General Lin Feng.
Lin Feng and Song Xiaodong suddenly disappeared, but they were just two individuals from the Dragon Gate. The Dark Night Sect, while suspicious of their whereabouts, would not immediately connect them to the Dragon Gate Base. Given Song Xiaodong’s identity, it’s completely normal that the Dark Night Sect couldn’t constantly trace his movements.
Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling, not being members of the Dragon Gate, even if they were closely related to Song Xiaodong, wouldn’t be entirely focused on by the Dark Night Sect.
Five days later, the cargo ship Song Xiaodong and others were on released a speedboat.
Although this consumed time, regardless of departing from nearby countries or using other methods, it was more discreet this way.
The cargo ship belonged to Dragon Gate, so no one would know about them leaving at sea.
Song Xiaodong and others navigated the speedboat for half a day until they saw a small island.
The island was shrouded in mist, and even with the afternoon sun shining brightly, the island was still enveloped in clouds and mist. If Lin Feng hadn’t said it was an island, Song Xiaodong and the others wouldn’t have been able to tell.
Lin Feng stopped the boat about ten miles from the island, then the group went into the water and swam directly towards the island.
Because there was only one route for ships to enter the island, whereas the other places were covered with reefs, the Dark Night Sect’s surveillance was placed at that route.
The four maneuvered around to the back of the island, where there was a cliff, very steep but not challenging for the four. They easily climbed to the top of the cliff.
“What a strange place.” Once on the cliff top, Sun Yiyi couldn’t help but exclaim.
Within ten meters from the edge, the area appeared normal, but beyond that, it was all thick fog, completely obscuring the view inside.
Everywhere, whether moving horizontally or vertically, was this way.
Chu Xianling said, “This island feels like it’s covered with a big dome.”
Sun Yiyi nodded and said, “Yes, but it seems like it’s just some fog. Even if it can block sight, can it stop people from entering?”
Lin Feng smiled proudly and said, “You can try.”
Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling immediately walked towards the thick fog, and even though Song Xiaodong was usually calm, he couldn’t resist walking over.
Normally, when people move, it causes air flow, and the fog ahead should be disturbed somewhat.
However, the thick fog right in front was somewhat solid, not changing at all with the approach of the three.
Standing before the thick fog, Song Xiaodong slowly reached his hand towards it.
When his hand touched the fog, Song Xiaodong felt as if he’d touched a resilient dome, which pressed in softly as his hand went further in.
Then a force from the dome directly repelled Song Xiaodong’s hand.
“Oh?” Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but widen his eyes, reaching his hand out again with considerably more force this time.
But the dome merely compressed slightly inward, then again repelled his hand.
Song Xiaodong didn’t believe it, using almost all his strength with True Qi concentrated in his arm.
Yet the result was the same, the dome seemed alive, growing more forceful the harder he pushed.
Though the dome possessed no dangerous force, the rebound power was quite gentle, not harming Song Xiaodong.
Chu Xianling and Sun Yiyi experienced similar effects, looking at Song Xiaodong with astonished expressions.
Sun Yiyi said, “This thing is really strange, almost like it’s alive.”
Chu Xianling nodded slightly and said, “Yeah, and it feels like a master filled with gentle True Qi pushing us away.”
Song Xiaodong nodded, turned to Lin Feng, and said, “Elder Lin, is this the Guardian Gate Formation?”
Lin Feng nodded and said, “Yes, this is our Guardian Gate Formation. We don’t know how it’s produced, only the Sect Leader knows. The formation’s defense ability is incredibly strong, even missiles can’t break it.”
“What about with a nuclear bomb?” Sun Yiyi immediately asked.
Lin Feng’s face darkened and said, “That I wouldn’t know. But is a nuclear bomb that easy to obtain? Even if one is acquired, could it be casually detonated? Neither Dark Night Sect nor Dragon Gate would dare to mess with that, as they’d have no place left in this world.”
Sun Yiyi stuck her tongue out and said, “I was just saying, but this Guardian Gate Formation is indeed formidable. It’s really hard to comprehend how it’s created.”
Lin Feng said proudly, “This is the foundation of our Dragon Gate. Once the Dragon Gate Base is opened, the Young Sect Master will receive our true inheritance and fully understand it.”
Song Xiaodong stroked the formation’s shield with his hand and said, “Elder Lin, didn’t you say that I’ll know how to unlock this formation once I’m here? But I don’t feel anything now.”
Lin Feng said, “This inheritance is definitely correct. If you don’t feel anything yourself, perhaps you need to be here with the four Princesses to activate the method to unlock the formation.”
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “That indeed seems possible. Oh, I’m feeling something peculiar.”
“What peculiar feeling?” Lin Feng, Sun Yiyi, and Chu Xianling asked in unison.
Song Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, “The feeling is hard to describe, like the formation’s shield has a sense of familiarity with me, almost as if it’s greeting me.”
“Really? I don’t feel anything like that! Xianling, do you?” Sun Yiyi placed her hand on the fog again, feeling it, and questioned Chu Xianling.
Chu Xianling also tried, shaking her head lightly and said, “I don’t feel the kind that Xiaodong described.”
Lin Feng then interjected, “This is our Dragon Gate’s Guardian Gate Formation. The Young Sect Master is our Dragon Gate’s heir, so the formation should sense the Young Sect Master’s bloodline, making it feel familiar.”
Sun Yiyi grinned and said, “This is getting more and more mystical. It feels like we’re about to touch a new world we’ve never encountered before.”
