406: Chapter 406 Will we never see each other again?
The world where the Great Zhou Dynasty resides is vast and boundless, absolutely a super dungeon world that transcends an S-Rank Dungeon.
Moreover, there is no stable portal between Blue Star and this place.
Jiang You was only able to come here this time because the person he was hunting panicked and forcibly tore through spatial turbulence.
It was only through a series of coincidences and a brush with death that Jiang You managed to follow them into this world.
Once he resolves the target and returns to Blue Star through special means, the difficulty of wanting to return to this world in the future would be a hundred times more exaggerated than finding a needle in an ocean.
Therefore, this is simply a dead end.
Since he cannot give the other party any promises, and since his departure is fated, in order to completely sever her thoughts and not let this silly girl waste her life on a fleeting passerby, Jiang You could only pretend not to understand her clumsy hints.
He also had to, at this moment, use the most indifferent attitude to cruelly reject all her overtures.
The air in the dungeon fell into a deathly silence.
After hearing Jiang You's answer, the forced smile on The Fourth Princess's face could no longer be maintained.
Her eyes turned red little by little, and tears swirled frantically in her eye sockets.
She bit her moist lower lip hard, leaving a pale tooth mark.
The girl raised her delicate face and looked at the cold young man in black before her through tear-blurred eyes, asking tearfully:
"So..."
"We will never... ever see each other again, is that right?"
Jiang You looked down at the girl from above.
In those deep blue eyes, there was not a hint of softness or hesitation, cold as a pool of stagnant water that had not thawed for a thousand years.
He did not directly answer this tearful plea, but instead, with a cold face, dropped a statement without the slightest warmth:
"Yes, consider this a farewell."
"In the future, remember to take care of yourself."
The moment the words fell, without giving The Fourth Princess any opportunity to continue pleading,
"Boom!"
On the bluestone slab beneath Jiang You's feet, thick, ink-like black clouds erupted like a fountain.
The black mist churned and strangled, instantly swallowing his tall, black-clad figure completely.
The airflow in the secret room surged violently for a moment, then quickly returned to calm.
In the air, only a faint smell of blood and the lingering, ink-colored aura remained.
The large profound iron dungeon was empty.
Only The Fourth Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who had been pampered since childhood and showered with thousands of favors, was left alone, sitting slumped on the cold ground, her hands tightly clutching the red gold token that could not be given away, as teardrops like rain kept crashing onto the stone slab.
...
"Swishβ!"
The laws of space twisted violently.
When Jiang You's figure stepped out of the void again, the surrounding scenery had undergone a world-shaking change.
There was no magnificent Princess's Mansion, nor were there any carved beams and painted rafters.
What came into view was a desolate, uninhabited land with yellow sand filling the sky and violent winds like blades.
Withered yellow grass shivered in the wind, and the world was filled with a sense of primitive, dead silence.
Jiang You stepped onto the cracked Gobi Desert, the strong wind making his black robe flutter loudly.
He looked around, and at the end of his line of sight, it was still a boundless wilderness.
"A super dungeon world that transcends an S-Rank Dungeon..."
Jiang You narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of solemnity passing through his cold eyes.
Over the past month, while lurking in the Princess's Mansion, he had not only figured out the martial arts foundation of this world but also gained a general understanding of the terrifying territory of this world from The Fourth Princess.
The Great Zhou Dynasty.
This is a vast empire that unifies the world.
But what made Jiang You feel most troublesome was that the territory governed by this Great Zhou Dynasty was shockingly vast.
A rough estimate showed that its land area was almost the same as the entire Blue Star!
A typical S-Rank Dungeon is at most the size of a province or a small country.
Yet here, it was many times larger than those ordinary S-Rank Dungeons; it was the first time Jiang You had seen such a large dungeon world.
Searching for a person in such a vast territory, the difficulty of this task was undoubtedly hell-level.
"However..."
Jiang You sneered, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes, "That mad dog, Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan, is not one to stay quiet."
A month has passed, and the initial suppression period of the dungeon has ended.
Jiang You's Supernatural Ability has been unsealed, which means that guy, Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan, has also returned to his peak strength!
Given that guy's bloodthirsty nature and his twisted personality of doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals, once he has mastered power, he will definitely be unable to suppress his ambition to stir up trouble!
"Brain."
Jiang You said, hands in his pockets, suddenly speaking coldly to the empty air: "What kind of trouble do you think that grandson, Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan, will cause this time?"
Deep in his mind,
The [Organ Chat Group] lit up instantly.
[Brain] adjusted the glasses reflecting light on the bridge of his nose in a leisurely manner, his tone sounding extremely calm and professional:
"Boss, I think the other party probably still doesn't dare to use his Supernatural Ability casually."
"Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan is a complete lunatic, that's true, but he is also a cunning fox. He knows very well that we followed him across the spatial rift to hunt him down."
"Before he is sure that we have left this world, he will probably hide like a rat in the sewer, keeping his tail tucked tight."
[Brain]'s analysis was incisive and logically flawless.
Just then, [Right Hand] waved its fist frantically in the consciousness space, knuckles cracking, and suddenly interjected:
"Brother Brain is right!"
"That grandson was definitely beaten into submission by us last time! He's got psychological trauma!"
"I still remember the feeling of slapping his fleshy old face hard back then; it was just so satisfying!"
"The recoil was invigorating!"
"It's just a pity, why didn't I smash his head like a watermelon back then!"
Listening to the analysis of the organs, Jiang You stood in the wind and sand, falling into a brief silence.
His current configuration is heaven-defying, but there is one thing missing...
He is missing a tracking Supernatural Ability capable of wide-range, high-precision target searching!
Finding people is indeed the biggest flaw on his current panel.
"Should I... ask The Fourth Princess for help?"
In Jiang You's mind, this thought flashed instinctively.
After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty is the local power; if he could use the royal intelligence network and the overwhelming garrison, finding an outsider would definitely increase efficiency exponentially.
But as soon as this thought arose, it was ruthlessly cut off by him.
Not to mention that he had just coldly rejected the young girl's feelings ten minutes ago, making things so absolute.
Now, if he were to shamelessly turn back and ask her for help finding someone...
What would that make him? A clown?
Even if he died in the wilderness, he, Jiang You, could not do such a humiliating thing of slapping his own face.
Furthermore...
Jiang You's gaze turned completely cold.
That grandson, Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan, is not a kind person who talks about chivalry; he is a mad dog who can drag an entire city to be buried with him just to survive!
If Imperial Preceptor Wen Wangshan were to notice that The Fourth Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty was secretly helping him hunt him down...
With that guy's vicious methods, he would definitely launch the most malicious retaliation without hesitation.
He truly did not want to let The Fourth Princess take such a risk!
"Settle my own grudges myself."
Jiang You coldly pulled up his collar to block the sky-filling yellow sand, a chilling killing intent flashing in his deep eyes: "Even if I have to turn over the entire Great Zhou, I will dig you out."
