The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

The thick miasma had already spread to the mountainside.

When Gong Zishang and his companions arrived, dozens of guards were already standing guard there.

The artillery she specially developed for this operation had already been transported outside the miasma area in advance.

Upon seeing Gong Zishang, the head guard stepped forward and bowed with a grim expression.

"Hold the blade."

Looking at his expression, Gong Zishang had a bad feeling.

However, having already prepared to leave the palace, she wasn't in too bad a mood at the moment.

"what happened?"

“Zhi Ren, we marked the edge of the miasma when we arrived here three months ago.”

"This mark is now shrouded in miasma."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and through the hazy miasma, they could vaguely see a thick tree branch stuck in the ground about a foot away.

Elder Xue and Elder Hua looked very unpleasant.

This is the first time I've ever directly felt the speed at which the miasma was spreading.

At this rate, it will probably spread to the three palaces behind the mountain very soon.

Gong Zishang's expression was calm as she stared at the miasma before her.

"Have you noticed anything unusual in these past three months?"

The guard pondered for a moment and replied, "Zhi Ren, if there's anything unusual, it's that it's too quiet."

“We stayed here for three months, and the miasma was completely silent; there wasn’t a sound at all.”

The guard who answered was a Crimson Jade Guard, whose strength was among the best of all the Crimson Jade Guards.

If even with his internal strength he couldn't hear any sounds from within the miasma, then there truly must be no living creatures outside the miasma.

After thinking for a moment, Gong Zishang instructed Jin Mao, "Jin Mao, bring me the masks that Qingyue and I prepared."

Jin Mao accepted the order and withdrew. He quickly led his guards to retrieve the masks and distributed them to everyone.

This is a very strange mask that covers a person's entire head.

The materials used throughout are very special and I have never seen them before.

For the eyes, a transparent material was used so that the outside world could be seen clearly.

Lin Qingyue drew a draft of the mask and made her requirements.

Gong Zishang had done his best to develop it, and it barely met Lin Qingyue's requirements.

Hopefully, this mask will not let her hard work over the past few months go to waste and will help block out some of the miasma.

"These masks can help block some of the miasma, so please put them on."

No one dared to joke with their own lives, and after listening to Gong Zishang's explanation, they all put their masks on their heads.

Only Young Master Yue glanced at the mask in Jin Mao's hand and then looked away, showing no intention of taking it.

Young Master Hua was anxious and wanted to say something to persuade him.

Gong Yuanzheng spoke first, his voice cold and tinged with sarcasm.

"If you want to join us in eliminating the Inhumans, put on the mask."

"If you want to die, go back to your moon palace!"

"Don't absorb that miasma and become an alien, causing us trouble!"

Young Master Yue's expression changed slightly, and he finally reached out and took the mask.

Looking at the swirling miasma before him, Gong Zishang frowned, and after a moment, suddenly gave an order.

"Let's retreat twenty feet first."

Elder Hua was an impatient person to begin with, and seeing Gong Zishang wearing a mask and retreating, he was already getting a little impatient.

"Zhi Ren, what exactly are we supposed to do? Give the order as soon as possible!"

Gong Zishang ignored him and led the group down the mountain.

Elder Hua was furious, and Young Master Hua, pulling his father along, quickly caught up with the others.

He didn't know why Zhi Ren gave such an order, but he knew she must have her reasons, and doing as she said would be the right thing to do.

Having escaped the miasma, Gong Zishang did not hesitate any longer. With a wave of his hand, the guards of Huagong Shang Palace immediately formed a battle formation, with dozens of crossbows aimed at the miasma.

Jin Mao and Jin Chao firmly protected Gong Zishang behind them.

Gong Yuanzheng stood beside Gong Shangjiao, holding poison in one hand and three poisoned darts in the other, ready to strike at any moment.

Xue Chongzi gripped her long sword and shielded Xue Gongzi behind her.

"Chong"

The other guards had already drawn their longswords and assumed defensive stances.

Elder Xue was somewhat surprised, not expecting that in just a few months, Gong Zishang had completely subdued the Gongmen.

Judging from the movements of these guards, they have obviously been trained for a long time and work together seamlessly.

With a gesture from Gong Zishang.

Several bullets were immediately fired into the miasma, and in an instant, countless flashes of light appeared from the miasma.

The miasma surged and quickly spread in all directions. Fortunately, they were far enough away that everyone had time to react.

They retreated quickly before the miasma reached them.

Jin Mao had already taken Gong Zishang to a more distant place at the first opportunity.

Only two guards with weaker martial arts skills were caught in the miasma before they could retreat.

The smell of gunpowder filled the entire mountainside, and the thick smoke from the explosion made it even harder to see what was happening inside the miasma.

Everyone was on high alert.

No one knows whether a monster might suddenly leap out from the miasma.

However, even after the thick smoke dissipated and the smell of gunpowder gradually faded, there was still no sign of anything happening.

Amidst the miasma, it was as quiet as if no ammunition had ever been thrown.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Gong Shangjiao with a questioning gaze. His internal strength was not as profound as Gong Shangjiao's. He did not hear the sound, but Gong Shangjiao might have heard it.

Gong Shangjiao's expression hardened slightly, but he didn't hear any sound.

The ammunition was very powerful; even if there were no living creatures on the outside, the creatures inside couldn't possibly remain undisturbed.

Could it be that there are no living creatures left inside?

This question arose in everyone's mind.

Gong Yuanzheng came to the side of the guards who had been shrouded in miasma.

How do you feel?

The two guards had removed their masks, and their faces were pale with fear.

“Young Master Zheng, when you were shrouded in miasma, you felt a bit cold and a bit stinging. But after you used your internal energy to stimulate it, you felt nothing.”

Gong Yuanzheng grasped their wrists, closed his eyes, and focused his mind.

The pulse was strong, but there was a strange aura attached to it.

Their internal energy only dispelled the abnormality on their bodies, but it did not dispel the aura.

He remembered Lin Qingyue saying that in her dream, the extraordinary people were transformed from miasma.

Gong Yuanzheng's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He had never seen this kind of aura before, and he didn't know if he was confident he could dispel it.

"Go back and take a few more Herbal Extract pills."

The guards nodded repeatedly.

Upon arriving at Gong Shangjiao's side, Gong Yuanzheng immediately informed him of the news.

Gong Shangjiao's expression also turned ugly in an instant.

According to their original plan, they were to first blow up a group of superhumans.

Then lure the remaining strange beings out of the miasma and annihilate them in one fell swoop with Boundless Flowing Fire.

Finally, they entered the miasma to eliminate the remaining supernatural beings.

Judging from the condition of those two guards, we absolutely cannot go any further into this miasma.

Gong Shangjiao pondered for a moment, then looked at Gong Zishang, "Zhiren, can your ammunition reach the innermost point?"

If there's no reaction even after bombing the innermost part, then it means that all the strange people in the back mountain are truly dead.

Gong Zishang silently estimated the distance in his mind, "It should be fine, I need to readjust the range."

"Then I'll trouble you to blow it up again with the blade."

Gong Zishang nodded and immediately went to the cannon to adjust the firing range.

With the help of the young master Hua, the range of the cannons was quickly adjusted.

This time, Gong Zishang stopped probing and fired all his ammunition at the mountaintop.

In an instant, the entire mountain trembled.

This time, it took almost half an hour for the smoke in the mountains to dissipate completely.

Seeing that the miasma remained completely still, Gong Zishang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these ammunitions were a waste, at least it proved that there were no more supernatural beings in the back mountain, which was a good thing.

She smiled easily and tried to take off her mask, but before she could even raise her hand halfway, Gong Shangjiao stopped her.

Gong Zishang then realized that, apart from her, everyone else in the team was on high alert.

She looked up and saw the cold light flashing in Gong Yuanzheng's hand.

"sand"

"sand"

This sounds like crawling.

Several humanoid creatures slowly moved out of the miasma.

Gong Zishang covered her mouth in surprise.

These people can't even be called human beings.

Their hair had all fallen out, and their exposed bodies were red, swollen, and ulcerated.

These are clearly old wounds, not injuries sustained in an explosion.

Gong Zishang also noticed that one of the people seemed particularly fat. Upon closer inspection, however, he realized that he wasn't fat; he was carrying someone on his back.

The man had all four limbs intact, yet it seemed as if he had no bones at all, slumped limply on someone else's back.

As others moved, that person's body swayed from side to side, like a water person.

Gong Zishang couldn't help but take several steps back.

The group of people in the miasma were still slowly moving outwards.

They never expected such an extraordinary person.

For a moment, they even forgot to react, until the person at the front was almost outside the miasma.

Gong Shangjiao roared, "Stop!"

The man was startled and stopped what he was doing, looking around excitedly.

The guard who was closest saw the man's condition and immediately turned around to report.

“Wielding Blade, Young Master Horn, this...this strange man has gone blind.”

Only then did the strange man realize that there was someone not far in front of him, and he immediately rushed towards the position where the guard was standing.

"careful!"

Several voices rang out at the same time. The guard was startled and, without turning around, leaped forward to dodge the strange man's attack.

At the same time, Gong Yuanzheng's hidden weapon and Xue Zhongzi's knife attacked the strange man together.

The strange man seemed to have no ability to dodge and was directly knocked away. Before Gong Yuanzheng and Xue Chongzi could get close to him, he suddenly let out a miserable wail.

It rolled around on the grass, and smoke began to rise from its body.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Gong Yuanzheng. Was his poison really that potent?

Even a superhuman could be poisoned to such a terrible state by him?

Gong Yuanzheng paid no attention to the gazes of others and carefully observed the strange man rolling on the ground. He quickly guessed the reason.

"Brother, this strange person seems unable to leave the miasma."

Verifying this result is very simple; just create an alien.

Hearing the screams outside, the strange beings inside the miasma began to move deeper into the miasma.

Gong Shangjiao gave Jin Fu a look, and Jin Fu understood immediately, leaping up and cutting off a vine not far away.

With a clever move, he easily bound the strange man and dragged him out of the miasma.

As expected, the strange man writhed in agony as soon as he landed.

Is there any need to deal with such an extraordinary person?

Gong Shangjiao shows you through his actions that it exists.

The supernatural beings are currently unable to escape the miasma; who knows if they will be able to leave in the future?

If we say we won't leave problems for future generations, then we will resolutely not leave them!

At his command, all the supernatural beings were killed.
