Wang Chong’s divine embryo nodded, and the group continued.

Whoosh!

After some time, the faint sound of crashing waves entered their ears. Wang Chong also began to smell salt on the breeze.

It really is the Caspian Sea!

Wang Chong turned pensive.

He had spent more than half of his last life in the Central Plains, and he had never traveled to such a distant place.

The Caspian Sea!

If this were the world he had once belonged to, there should have been quite a few countries here that would have developed into a thriving civilization. But in this world, this place was deserted.

Now that I think about it, this place should be considered under the Arabian Empire’s influence.

Wang Chong’s heart thumped in realization.

Tang rarely traveled this far, but the same couldn’t be said for Arabs.

Wang Chong vaguely recalled that the Arabs had aggressively expanded in all directions, but they had encountered fierce resistance and pursuit from a nomadic people of the extreme north.

Although these people were few, they were strong and constantly used guerrilla tactics. Even Qutaybah had been at a loss for how to deal with them, forced to resort to scorched earth tactics to slowly wear them down.

Bang!

At this moment, the faceless man suddenly unleashed his Stellar Energy, obliterating the head of that precious Ferghana steed with one strike of his palm.

This Ferghana steed that any general would have treasured plopped to the ground without a sound.

The faceless man acted as if he had done some minor deed, his expression utterly unperturbed.

Bang!

The faceless man thrust out his palm again, digging out a large hole in the ground. He swiftly pushed in the body of the Ferghana steed and then covered the hole. After some simple cleaning up, it seemed as if the Ferghana steed had never existed.

Wang Chong stood on the side and watched the faceless man work. Though he found it somewhat of a pity, he understood that this was a way of covering up weaknesses and ensuring that they weren’t discovered by the men in black.

If their party were exposed, they would immediately be placed in dire straits.

“It’s enough!”

A few moments later, the faceless man stood up and clapped his hands. He woodenly said, “Master, starting from now, we will be entering the territory of the men in black. If they discover us and we can’t escape, we’re dead. Moreover, though I have not seen that Supreme with my own eyes, I can sense his aura. Although Master’s divine embryo is powerful…

“Forgive your subordinate for speaking bluntly, but Master is no match for him!”

The faceless man spoke very directly.

Wang Chong wasn’t surprised to hear this. If this teleportation gate really was overseen by a Supreme like Genesis Supreme, he truly did not have the strength to contend against him.

While the divine embryos were powerful, Wang Chong had not had them for long enough. They needed more time to mature.

“Master, these clothes are for you. We must hide our true faces, starting from now!”

As the faceless man spoke, he took out a black robe from his bundle.

This was the uniform of the organization of men in black. Regardless of rank, all men in black wore the same robe.

As the faceless man spoke, a black fog seeped out of his body, and his aura instantly turned sinister and bizarre.

At this moment, the faceless man was nigh identical to a man in black. Not even Wang Chong could tell the difference.

It was clear that during his long pursuit of the men in black, the faceless man had completely mastered the ability to disguise himself as a man in black.

Wang Chong took the black robe from the faceless man and put it on. His aura also shifted, becoming exactly the same as the faceless man’s.

But Wang Chong’s body soon shivered as he slightly altered his aura.

Although Wang Chong had obtained this disguise from the faceless man, he clearly had a better grasp of the art. Moreover, it would be too suspicious if their auras were identical.

“Let’s go!”

With the preparations done, Wang Chong had the other two divine embryos remain on the outskirts while he and the faceless man proceeded forward.

What appeared close at hand was actually very far!

Though they could hear the crashing of the waves, they were actually much farther from the sea than they had imagined.

After traveling ten-some li, Wang Chong sensed something strange.

“What a powerful chill!”

Wang Chong raised his head and looked in the direction of the waves.

As they got closer and closer, Wang Chong could feel the temperature rapidly dropping. The wind was now carrying a deep chill, and it seemed to be coming from the direction of the cold wave.

Wang Chong squinted in confusion.

The great cold wave was still to the north of Lake Baikal and still had a great distance to cover before reaching the south. How could its effects have reached this place?

Wang Chong also felt that there was something strange about this cold front. It didn’t seem very much like that intense cold front that brought about the ice age.

“This is a cold wave brought about by the teleportation gate!” the faceless man reported.

“When I last left, the cold wave wasn’t this serious and hadn’t spread this far. It seems that their teleportation gate is approaching completion!”

An Yaluoshan was still in Youzhou, and that rebellion that would sweep over the realm had yet to occur. Moreover, according to the Landeshunger, the spacetime gate would only open after six teleportation gates had been established.

Has the butterfly effect caused another shift in the world?

Gallop!

As he was thinking, the thundering of hooves came from the distance. Wang Chong unleashed a gray-brown energy that immediately covered the nearby faceless man.

The ground rippled like water, and Wang Chong and the faceless man sank into the depths of the earth.

A breeze blew over the empty plains as if the two of them had never existed.

“Hyah!”

A few moments later, a great cloud of dust rose up from the southern horizon, and hundreds of horsemen waving around whips rode out.

These horsemen all wore shabby suits of armor, but their bodies were tall and muscular, their eyes bursting with a bright and predatory light. They exuded a bloodthirsty, aggressive, and pugnacious aura.

Moreover, these men had wild tattoos carved onto their necks and arms.

As Wang Chong looked at these muscular men and the tattoos, he suddenly realized who they were.

In the western world, on the shores of the Caspian Sea, there was only one people that had this trait, the nomadic people that had given even Arab War God Qutaybah a headache.

The Kailong!

He had heard about them during his time in Arabia.

The Kailong were not numerous, and they did not have any fixed settlements, but they were extremely powerful and held fast to their grudges.

Qutaybah had wanted to exterminate them several times, but because he could never track them down, he was unable to do so.

On the contrary, after Qutaybah killed a few of the Kailong, the Kailong began to constantly raid Qutaybah’s army through a variety of methods: night raids, poison clouds, disguises, poisoned arrows…

They were so powerful that even Qutaybah’s Revelation Army suffered significant losses. Qutaybah was given such a headache that he was forced to change plans and try to make peace with the Kailong.

But the Kailong remembered the tribe members Qutaybah had killed, so they refused to make peace, and small-scale engagements between the two sides continued.

In the end, Qutaybah was forced to withdraw his army fifty li and set up caltrops and barricades to temporarily end the hostilities.

But Wang Chong had never expected these tenacious foes of Arabia to appear here.

Neigh!

The Kailong suddenly pulled on the reins of their horses and stopped.

“Is everything ready?”

At the very front of the force, the leader, a man with a savage tattoo on his forehead, sunken eyes, a high nose, and high cheekbones, turned his horse around to face his hundreds of men.

“Yes, chief!”

The Kailong raised their scimitars and called out.

“We’ll be meeting the divine emissary soon! I want everyone to focus!

“This is extremely important! The divine emissary wants the Kailong to bleed. In a few months, we will help them attack Arabia, which will come at a price. We Kailong cannot lose out!” the chief loudly declared.

Buzz!

Deep underground, Wang Chong grimaced.

The Kailong were a nomadic people of the periphery, never intervening in the affairs between empires. Wang Chong was surprised to hear that they were planning to attack Arabia.

This would be one thing in the past, but Arabia was under the rule of the Great Tang now, and Gao Xianzhi and An Sishun were both stationed in Baghdad. In attacking Arabia, the Kailong would also be attacking the Tang garrison.

And those ‘divine emissaries’… is that the men in black?

Wang Chong’s brow creased in thought.

The men in black regarded themselves as gods and enjoyed playing the part. It would be unsurprising if those divine emissaries the Kailong spoke of were really the men in black.

One of the Kailong said, “Chief, the Tang aren’t very easy to deal with. I hear that their weapons are extremely formidable, and even the Arabs lost to them. If they want our help, they need to give us lots of suits of armor, and only the best kind!”

“Right! And also weapons! They need to give us the best weapons, bows, saddles, stirrups, and we can’t leave out food. They have to give us… one year! Right, at least one year of food!”

“And we can’t go without women!”

The rest of the Kailong chimed in, and with that final request, they laughed loudly with a laugh only men could understand.
