"The same person?" And there's another thing. "
Jiu Muli was unable to remain calm. When she thought about the mysterious palm which could exterminate the Huangquan Sect, and its astonishing power, she could not help but shiver.
The weak power of the curse, this deathly still environment, was so familiar, it was too similar to the Huangquan Mansion back then.
Was this the entanglement of karma, or was this fate!
Back then in the Huangquan Mansion, she had come into contact with secrets that she shouldn't have known about, and now that she had left the Three Mortal Heavens, she never thought that she would encounter this strange thing in the end. It was as if an invisible hand had guided her to this place while fiddling with her fate's threads.
"Mother Nuwa, is this your arrangement?"
Originally, she had already forgotten about the matters of the Huangquan Mansion and did not plan to help him with anything. But now, she could not help but come to this strange place.
Blacky also recognized the words. Sensing that Jiu Muli's face was ugly, he asked worriedly, "Master, are you alright? It seems like this place …." As it spoke, it seemed to sense that Jin Yu was an outsider, so it suddenly shut its mouth.
"Like what?" Jin Yu's curiosity was piqued, and he quickly asked.
"Nothing, it's just that this place is too strange." It had experienced the same thing with Jiu Muli before, the Huangquan Mansion was related to an extremely mysterious Ranker, the other party was not a Star God, and would most likely be a saint.
"Let's go."
Jiu Muli glared at the Blacky and did not linger any longer.
She hoped that she was overthinking it. She sighed in her heart. Just a single line of words wasn't enough to explain her thoughts.
In the vast world, other than the frenzied dance of blood and thunder, there was only the howling of the cold wind, speaking of sorrow and apprehension.
They once again travelled on the road, moving in the same direction. In order to avoid consuming spiritual energy s, Jiu Muli did not even use her cultivation this time. Fortunately, her cultivation was not weak either, and with a single step, she easily crossed the several tens of meters distance between them.
Once again, it was another ten thousand kilometers. In this world of solo combat, other than ashes, there was only the black iron tree and the occasional scattered skeleton. Other than that, she didn't sense anything else unusual.
"Master, there's a corpse in front of us!"
Half a day later, the Blacky ahead of them screamed excitedly in the cold wind.
"Where?!"
Jiu Muli's mind was shaken. In this strange world, being able to meet a corpse was an extremely extravagant matter.
When she arrived, her face was immediately filled with shock.
Her clothes had long decayed, only leaving behind a shrivelled up corpse, as if she was a mummy who had lost all her moisture. However, her entire body was filled with an extremely strong aura, as though she was a Saint Weapon.
The aura emitted from the corpse, which had been dead for an unknown amount of time, was actually countless times stronger than that of the peak Star Venerable Stage cultivators that Jiu Muli had met.
"There's a saint before her!"
Jiu Muli was shocked, this aura was too strong, it was as if a divine might had descended to this world, it was absolutely not something Great Emperor could compare to. She had come into contact with Saints before, especially after interacting with Bian Bufu for a month, she was not unfamiliar with his aura.
Although her corpse no longer held its original glory, Jiu Muli could still feel that before her death, she had been very calm.
"It looks like he died less than a thousand years ago!" Blacky turned and said solemnly.
"Right."
Jiu Muli nodded. Although the direction of the space was unclear, based on the intensity of the decaying power, she could still barely calculate that the death of this saint should be between eight hundred and a thousand years old.
Because of this, the corpse was still intact and did not completely turn into dried up bones.
"Master, look at her hands. They seem to be pointing behind me." Blacky approached and exclaimed.
"I saw it."
Jiu Muli nodded her head thoughtfully. When she first laid eyes on the corpse of the Saint, she noticed that although the Saint was sitting there with a peaceful face, on his right hand that was resting on his abdomen, he pointed forward with his index finger raised slightly.
Saints had all gone through countless hardships, and their minds were incomparably strong. This was definitely not something that they could do as they pleased.
"What are you guys talking about?" Jin Yu did not understand, and looked at Blacky in bafflement.
"Brother Yu, this is called experience, also known as sixth sense. It's hard to say, anyway. That movement wasn't random, it must have been guiding something."
"Understood, it's good that you're about to die. This person knows that he's going to die, so he wants to point the way for future generations?" Jin Yu suddenly understood.
The words were clear and straightforward!
The powerful explanation instantly hit the nail on the head. Blacky spoke in a deep voice: "If you're not sure, then the only thing you can say is that you would rather believe it than not!"
"So complicated." Jin Yu's head was big, as a Dragon Clan, although he was born lacking, he still inherited the nature of a Dragon Clan, and did not like being lazy or moving his head. In any case, as long as a healthy Dragon Clan lived, other than eating and sleeping, they would not cultivate, and their cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds. Furthermore, he was born with great strength and was like the son of heaven.
"Make a mark here, let's go take a look!"
In the end, Jiu Muli found a few iron trees, used his blade to draw an imprint, and then set off, heading in the direction the Saint had pointed.
Jiu Muli traversed through the vast and boundless mountain forest, making it seem like an extraordinary peak had popped out of nowhere. She advanced cautiously all the way, and even after walking for a hundred and fifty thousand kilometers, she still did not sense anything amiss.
"Master, did you get it wrong?"
This time, even the Blacky was a little unsettled. They had walked a hundred thousand miles for half a day, and even though there was no night or day here, they still felt a little uneasy.
"Let's go a bit more. Otherwise, we'll go back."
Jiu Muli thought for a while, then hesitated a little. He had come hundreds of thousands of miles already, he didn't care about walking any further.
Four hours later, their group finally encountered a creature.
Although it was called a living being, it was inaccurate. It was a ball of inky black, and was extremely hazy like a mist. Other than its color being pitch-black, the other parts were similar to the blood shadow that Qin Zheng had used back then.
The sound was extremely ear-piercing, like a devil's voice ringing in one's ears, and even though Jiu Muli's mental state was not weak, he still felt his mind shaking, as though countless evil spirits were seizing his life and roaring in his head, and the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared in front of his eyes.
Ah!
Jin Yu was the first to crumble under the pressure, his body trembled and he instantly fell to the ground.
"Sound Wave Illusion, and it's even aimed at soul."
Jiu Muli's expression changed, he looked at the spirit that was not looking up, and attacked with a serious face.
She did not use her spiritual energy s, but instead punched out.
The terrifying strength of his fleshly body was akin to a dragon in blood. Accompanied by this fist strike, it was like a stormy sea, instantly tearing apart space itself.
Puff!
After striking out with his fist, in the next moment, Jiu Muli's pupils shrank abruptly, because even though his fist had hit the ghost, it was as though it had hit air, and did not cause any substantial damage to the opponent.
"Master, let me do it!"
Blacky bellowed, following that, his body moved as fast as lightning, dashing out quickly.
Swoosh!
Its wings trembled, and with a stretch of its claws, it instantly burst out with a thick black brilliance.
Woo woo … *
With the appearance of the black light, the ghost-like ghost seemed to have encountered something terrifying, and with a scream, it fled for its life.
It was very fast, but it wasn't real. It could easily pass through the metal tree and travel 1,000 feet in an instant.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Blacky bellowed, in the next moment his speed increased, a ray of light flashed past, and instantly arrived above the ghost's head, his claw swiped down fiercely.
Puff!
In the next moment, accompanied by a flash of black light, the ghost was instantly routed and turned into a pile of black ash, falling to the ground.
"Master, this is really a ghost!"
After killing the ghost, the Blacky returned and informed Jiu Muli that this strange monster was indeed a ghost, and it seemed to have evolved from a soul. This was because after killing the ghost, it had absorbed the power of a soul, but it was weaker than ordinary cultivators.
Jiu Muli didn't really understand anything about it. On the contrary, the Blacky who was born in underworld was an expert, so she frowned: "What do you think it looks like?"
"It's like a cultivator being corroded by the blood qi here, causing a change in the soul and creating a demonic beast."
The Blacky opened his mouth and started to deduce that the ghost was probably a cultivator or a spiritual sense that had died here. Unfortunately, although the Blacky could devour soul, it could not read the other party's memories.
"This is good as well. At least it shows that we found the right place."
After that, Jiu Muli also stopped worrying, but continued moving. He was not afraid of anything abnormal.
Although she was unable to sense any Power of Star here, her cultivation was still barely at half step Venerability, and had transcended a part of the realm, so she could still use some of the Star Soul's power, not to mention that there were many pill on her body. If she truly made a move, she was not afraid of any of these ghosts, and would at most consume some of their power.
After that, they travelled for a hundred kilometers and along the way, they encountered a few more strange ghosts, but they were all easily killed by the Blacky.
Compared to Jiu Muli, the Blacky was not weak at all. His innate ability to travel between two realms made him unafraid of the depletion of the spiritual energy. His actions were extremely casual, making Jin Yu and Jiu Muli to be extremely envious.
"Master, the blood energy here is becoming denser and denser, and the power of the curse is becoming stronger as well!"
Following that, they continued to advance. Finally, Jiu Muli and the Blacky realized that the extremely violent blood aura around them was getting stronger and stronger, overbearing and aggressive. If it was a person with a weak spiritual sense, he would easily fall into the illusion and become a killing machine.
What was even more terrifying was that the power of the curse was growing stronger and stronger, almost comparable to that of the Huangquan Mansion, and even the occasional specter that appeared, the enchanting demonic sound, was more than twice as strong, causing Jin Yu to almost be unable to resist it. Only the Blacky was not affected, causing Jin Yu to feel endless resentment along the way.
Puff!
After another ghost was killed by the Blacky, Jiu Muli's group finally arrived at a flat mountain valley. However, the scene before their eyes caused great waves to once again surge in Jiu Muli's heart.
