"Ahead is the Medicine Garden Array Eye, raise your vigilance."
"— Mm-hm."
Harvesting did not dispel their vigilance. In fact, the more they obtained, the more vigilant Wang Yu became, paying attention to every rustle of grass or sound of wind.
Finally.
One of the Array Eyes of the Heaven Soul Herb Garden was distantly in sight.
Due to the Blood Mist being excessively dense, even with the Empowerment of the Greater Yin Nether Pupil, he could only see a range of six or seven meters. Long Yiran was even worse, only able to see about two meters.
The Vital Energy Observation Golden Eyes seemed to be ineffective against this Blood Mist, or perhaps its efficacy was not in this aspect to begin with.
The two advanced cautiously.
Suddenly—
Long Yiran bumped into Wang Yu's back, discovering that the former's body had stiffened.
"What's wrong, Brother Wang…"
Her voice grew weaker, all because in the Blood Mist ahead, two scarlet eyes, like lanterns, were staring at them. Its height was less than a Blood Corpse Giant, but it was still over ten meters tall.
Two streams of turbid red air sprayed out from below those eyes.
Like exhaled breath.
The Blood Mist swirled, scattering with the giant shadow's movements, and an Old Ginseng entirely gray-brown and covered in wrinkles came into view. Its chin was covered in Ginseng roots.
On its head was a twelve-petal green leaf, and its head, body, and even hands and feet were plump and round. If it weren't for the wrinkled face that looked too much like an old man, one might mistake it for a giant infant.
"Gulp—"
Long Yiran swallowed her saliva, and said with difficulty.
"This… this is… Herb King?!!"
"Run!"
The opponent's strength far exceeded a Blood Corpse Giant, and the aura on its body definitely reached Rank 4. Its Body Surface, besides the roots, was covered with Blood-colored veins, clearly also an existence corrupted by Blood Demon Power.
As the two retreated, the Blood Demon Ginseng seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism. Its plump, short arms instantly crossed the distance of space, and slapped over with a palm.
Whoosh—
Wang Yu flew backward like an arrow released from a bowstring. In mid-air, he felt that many bones had broken, his inner breath was disordered, and his Internal Organs were severely damaged.
A large amount of blood spurted from his mouth.
With just this one slap, he was heavily injured, enough to leave a shadow in his mind.
If the opponent hadn't lacked Wisdom and Intelligence, and had changed the slap into a grab.
He would have been one hundred percent finished.
"Boom—"
Wang Yu crashed through the white wall at the Edge of the Herb Garden, and continued to crash through more Buildings along the way, before barely stopping his momentum.
Long Yiran was nowhere to be seen. Wang Yu looked at the Void Escape Talisman pinched in his left hand and smiled wryly. He simply didn't have time to Activate it, let alone spare a thought for the other party's life or death.
This was… the third time seeking wealth and danger had gone wrong.
He was about to develop a conditioned reflex to this saying. What Precious Treasure, ten-thousand-year Herb King, this was a deadly thing!
Just as he stabilized his body, the Frost Moon Wings unfolded behind Wang Yu, and he sped towards the Secret Realm Exit with his head covered, while taking out a Handful of Top Grade Spirit Pills and swallowing them all.
From being sent flying to escaping, the entire operation took no more than three Breaths.
Immediately following.
He felt a large Shadow appear behind him. The Blood Demon Ginseng… was chasing after him, and only him!
"Damn it!!"
A Ginseng fist descended from the sky. Wang Yu quickly turned around.
His hands came together, and the Yellow Springs Great Hand Seal was Activated with Full Power. He twisted his waist and used all his strength to unleash a hundred-meter-long Yin Nether Demon Dragon, with Ice Dragon Pill Flame covering the dragon's body.
In a short Instant, he had used almost all the Means he could use, and then came a despairing scene.
The Yellow Springs Great Hand Seal directly shattered against the Blood Demon Ginseng's fist. Wang Yu knew things were Ominous, and directly Activated the Void Escape Talisman.
Then.
The Yin Nether Demon Dragon, burning with blue flames, was like a moth flying into a flame, annihilated inch by inch by the Ginseng fist, only leaving a black mark on it.
Clang—
At the Critical Moment, Wang Yu's Starfall Cold Furnace saved his life. It was indeed a Mid Third Grade Magic Treasure. Even if the Blood Demon Ginseng had Rank 4 Strength.
A casual punch could not completely Damage it.
Thus.
Wang Yu was hit by the Ginseng again, flying backward like a sandbag. The Starfall Cold Furnace was dented in a large area, and Wang Yu, hidden inside, was once again injured by the shock.
He felt that the bones in his Chest were almost completely shattered.
Fortunately.
The Void Escape Talisman's Effect was Activated. The Blood Demon Ginseng lacked Wisdom and Intelligence, and had no way to stop Space Escape Technique, and could only watch helplessly as Wang Yu transformed into a Streak of silver light and disappeared.
It roared to the sky, its large Head scanned around, and when it looked at the Ground, its wrinkled mouth cracked into an even more ferocious arc.
Its short, thick legs stomped heavily on the Ground.
Rumble~
This stomp seemed to cause the Ground of the entire Secret Realm Space to tremble, and wide cracks appeared in the Earth. One by one, Blood Corpse Giants hundreds of meters tall crawled out from them.
In the distant Heaven Soul Herb Garden, the Dense Blood Mist began to spread.
From within it, three more Blood Demon Herb Kings walked out.
One was shaped like a Ganoderma, and another like a Polygonum multiflorum. They flew out one after another and stood side by side with the Blood Demon Ginseng. Their auras were all at Rank 4, but the last existence.
Looked like a dark sunflower, Only the flower disc was imprinted with a Blood-red human face. Its aura was the most terrifying, Reaching Late Rank 4.
Comparable to a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator!
One after another, Blood Corpse Giants, numbering over a thousand, all at the Third Grade Level, ranging from Early Stage to Peak.
The Blood Demon Remnants within the Heaven Soul Sect Secret Realm completely seethed, and accompanied by countless ordinary Blood Corpses, they all walked towards the Direction of the Secret Realm Gate.
Within the Earth Veins.
Long Yiran, who had forcibly connected herself to the Earth Veins using a Secret Method, barely managed to save her life, but half of her body was almost rotten into mud. She didn't have Wang Yu's Body Strength.
If she had delayed for even a second, she would have completely Perished.
At the same time, the Backlash from connecting to the Earth Veins also Occurred. Her body began to petrify in unison, and it only barely stopped after Eroding an entire leg.
She dared not be negligent, and Grit Teeth as she used the Earth Mother Breath Soil Banner to Escape Technique through the Earth Veins. The Heaven Soul Sect Ruins… were extremely ominous!
Although she was worried about Wang Yu's Situation in her heart, she absolutely dared not stop, and fled towards the Secret Realm Gate. Whoever loved this ghostly place could come.
...
...
At the same time, Outside World.
—Nether Ghost Mountain.
"What's going on with this ghostly place?"
Several Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood in Mid-air, arms crossed, sizing up Nether Ghost Mountain while also being vigilant of the densely packed figures in the Sky.
Several years ago.
The Red and White Twin Fiends disappeared. According to Rumors from eyewitnesses, they were chasing after the Wan Family Brothers of Poison Scorpion City, going in the Direction of Nether Ghost Mountain, and finally disappeared.
It was also at that time that in this Nether Ghost Mountain Area, which was covered in Dark Clouds all day long, the dark clouds unexpectedly dissipated quite a bit, and while the Soul-Shaking Nether Wind received Enhancement.
Strands of Blood Mist rose from Underground, and Gradually enveloped the entire Nether Ghost Mountain.
This place was originally a good place to catch ghosts. Nearby Cities of the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, as well as some Independent Cultivator Territories similar to "Ten Thousand Poisons Town", Sect Forces… would all come here to seek.
It was somewhat of a popular "scenic spot", and the Blood Mist Anomaly was discovered early on.
Then, many more people were attracted.
Cultivators from Cloud Ridge State, Night Jade Province, and You Province all came to investigate. Many people believed that this was a sign of an Exotic Treasure being born. This type of Fortuitous Encounter was very common in Red Kite.
It was often Triggered by lucky Independent Cultivators, Finally Triggering Strange Phenomena, attracting Factions from all sides.
The [Ancient Ruins - Eastern Extremes Capital] had a lot to say about this~
At the moment of the Moonchasing Province Compete, people from Yellow Springs Temple came here through the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest of You Province, and Naturally they would also Encounter people from the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect.
These were also the two Factions with the greatest Strength at present.
People from Gu Poison Peak of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect came the most. Daoist Evil Centipede, who was originally active in Ten Thousand Poisons Town, and six Core Formation Elder Gu Cultivators who rushed over from the Sect Gate.
As well as the City Lords of Poison Scorpion City, Barrier Flow City, Fragrant City… and other Cities belonging to the Saint Sect. Their Cultivation Levels varied, with both Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, but what they had in common was that they all brought a large number of Cultivation Armored Soldiers.
If Wang Yu were here, he would be able to Discover a pair of familiar father and daughter.
Green Snake True Person and his only daughter, Liu Jin Xian!
The latter had Already been mixing in Ten Thousand Poisons Town for some time, and had the nickname of Insect Woman. Her Cultivation Level had Reached Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer. She was the second survivor of Mysterious Bone Mountain back then, second only to Wang Yu.
On the Yellow Springs Temple side, there were a total of five Core Formation, leading more than twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators, standing on two sides of the Sky opposite the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, facing each other distantly.
In addition, there were even tens of thousands of Rogue Cultivators hiding in the dense forests near Nether Ghost Mountain, mainly Vital Energy Condensation Cultivators, among whom there might be many Core Formation.
There were also Core Formation Family Clans, and Third-Rate and First-Rate Sects arriving.
Fire Demon Sect, Gui Yin Palace, Earth Demon Valley, Wan Family of Poison Scorpion City, Ruan Family… Zhou Family and Yuan Family of Spirit Dian, etc.
There were even more Factions living on the Territory of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, and they Naturally leaned towards the Saint Sect's Position. This caused the Cultivators from Yellow Springs Temple to be under great pressure.
The confrontation had also been going on for some time.
Apart from Dispatching Scouts to enter and search for Abnormality, everyone was waiting for the Strange Phenomena to Outbreak. Many Formation Masters made judgments that this place would definitely reveal its true appearance within three years.
"Father, do you think this Blood Mist feels somewhat familiar?"
Liu Jin Xian Pulled Green Snake True Person aside. It was a very short distance, and she also used Divine Sense Voice Transmission, so there was no need to worry about being eavesdropped on.
Hearing his daughter's question, Green Snake True Person also frowned.
"It is a bit. This Aura is somewhat similar to the people from Blood Demon Peak. Could it be that they are Scheming something here?"
Hearing the words Blood Demon Peak, a Flash of Inspiration appeared in Liu Jin Xian's mind, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"I remember now, Father. When I was young, I went to the Blood Demon Hall to test whether I had the Talent to cultivate the Blood Scripture. I remember when Lu Chen Zhou cultivated the Blood Scripture, the Aura he emitted was this Aura."
"Lu Chen Zhou… Really?"
This person was one of the disciples of the Blood Demon Hall Master. Because he cultivates the Blood Path Demonic Art, his progress was extremely rapid, and he could devour human blood to absorb cultivation level.
His age was similar to Liu Jin Xian, but he was Already a Late Core Formation Stage Cultivator, and Nascent Soul Formation was promising.
"Daughter will not misremember. It's almost exactly the same as Lu Chen Zhou's Aura back then."
Green Snake True Person's face Immediately sank, and he took out a Third Tier Void Escape Talisman and handed it to Liu Jin Xian.
"If the Situation becomes unfavorable, leave immediately."
"Daughter understands."
"I will contact your Martial Uncle Wu. He is knowledgeable and Proficient in Ancient Era history, and may know some Ancient Era Secrets of this Heavenly Demon Bone Forest Area."
"Okay."
After speaking, Green Snake True Person took out a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, and somewhat reluctantly took out five High-Grade Spirit Stones to amplify the range that the Jade Talisman could contact using a Secret Method.
Even so, it was Unable to directly connect to the Saint Sect Sect Gate.
It still needed to go through several transfers to transmit the message to the Sect Gate.
Just at this moment, in Mid-Air above Nether Ghost Mountain.
Under the gaze of everyone, a Streak of silver light flashed, and a wolfish Figure wearing a Mask stood stiffly there, his Aura disordered, Looking Of severe injuries.
Wang Yu: "..."
