Ye Xuan didn't speak much, and Lei Qian spoke even less. The two of them sat at the same table and briefly reported their names. After that, they didn't say anything else and only repeatedly clinked their cups and drank.
"Let's go!"
After finishing two pots, Lei Qian put down his wine bowl and threw down a bag of money. He bid farewell to Ye Xuan and stood up. He carried his broadsword and walked out of the inn. He headed towards the Nine Heavens Mountain Range and disappeared into the night.
This fellow dared to take advantage of the darkness to charge into the Nine Heavens Mountain Range alone. He was truly a fierce person, causing the people in the inn to secretly click their tongues.
Although they had never heard of the name Lei Qian and did not know who he was, they could clearly feel that he was powerful and extraordinary.
Ye Xuan had pretty much finished drinking this pot of wine. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, left behind an Immortal Grade spirit stone, and slowly stood up. He walked towards the Nine Heavens Mountain Range and disappeared into the night.
Although it was already late at night and the sky was covered in dark clouds without a single star, and there was still a large amount of fog floating within the Nine Heavens Mountain Range without a trace of light, Ye Xuan wasn't affected in the slightest.
When a cultivator's cultivation reached a certain level, they would already be able to see at night. Although their vision wasn't as good as during the day, it didn't affect them too much.
In the dangerous Nine Heavens Mountain Range, Ye Xuan walked as if he was flying.
Although they encountered some magical beasts along the way, they didn't dare to attack Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan only released a strand of his aura, causing all of the magical beasts to retreat.
In the eyes of many people in the outside world, the dangerous Nine Heavens Mountain Range wasn't that dangerous to Ye Xuan.
An hour later, Ye Xuan easily passed through the outer area of the Nine Heavens Mountain Range and entered the inner area.
The inner area of the Nine Heavens Mountain Range was much quieter than the outer area. There were basically no magical beasts in sight, but it gave off an extremely dangerous feeling, causing Ye Xuan to slightly frown and raise his spirits.
Ye Xuan didn't encounter any dangers or magical beasts along the way, causing a trace of doubt to flash through his eyes. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
His enormous soul force surged out and swept in all directions. The situation within a three kilometer radius clearly appeared in his mind, but Ye Xuan didn't sense any magical beasts within a three kilometer radius. He didn't even see an ant.
This was the first time Ye Xuan had encountered such an abnormal situation.
A sharp light flickered in his eyes. His feet moved as fast as lightning as he rushed deeper into the mountain range.
After traveling for about twenty to thirty kilometers, Ye Xuan finally saw a magical beast.
This was a Black-Hearted Giant Wolf with a body length of 20 meters. Its whole body was covered with long hair that was as hard as black iron. It was extremely ferocious, and its combat power was enough to kill an Undead Cultivator. It liked to live in groups and often appeared in groups.
But now, this ferocious Blackhearted Gigantic Wolf was lying in a pool of blood on its last breath. Its body was trembling non-stop and it was unable to move.
Ye Xuan walked over and carefully examined the Black-Hearted Giant Wolf. His brows were tightly knitted together as a trace of doubt flashed through his eyes. The Black-Hearted Giant Wolf's body wasn't injured in the slightest, but it was bleeding from its seven orifices. It looked like it had been shaken to this state by the sound waves released by some powerful creature.
Ye Xuan gave the dying Black-Hearted Giant Wolf a quick death and continued forward. He encountered quite a few magical beasts along the way, but most of them were already dead. The situation was exactly the same as the Black-Hearted Giant Wolf that Ye Xuan had encountered before.
Ye Xuan even saw a few cultivators whose cultivations had reached the Undying Realm. They were also shaken to death by the terrifying sound waves, bleeding from their seven orifices.
As they continued forward, Ye Xuan saw …
More and more magical beasts were dying, and more and more cultivators were dying. Other than the Undead Stage cultivators, one could even occasionally see one or two initial stage Immortal Stage cultivators.
The air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood. The oppressive aura caused one to feel a boundless pressure as they walked through the mountain range.
"Roar!"
"Ahh …"
A furious roar and an ear-piercing scream that originated from a magical beast sounded out from ahead, causing Ye Xuan's eyes to flash. He rushed forward at an even faster speed.
When Ye Xuan sensed the source of the sound, an extremely bloody scene appeared in his line of sight.
More than ten heavily injured cultivators were surrounded by a giant blue-eyed python that was as large as a thousand year old tree. Before Ye Xuan could even rescue them, they were swallowed by the giant blue-eyed python.
Ye Xuan originally wanted to find these fellows to stabilize the situation and inquire about some information. Who would've thought that these fellows would die just like that? He couldn't even save them if he wanted to.
If you want to die, you should at least hold on until I come over. Wait for me to finish asking what happened before you die, right?
Ye Xuan shook his head, feeling helpless and speechless in his heart.
"Roar!"
As if sensing Ye Xuan's approach, the blue-eyed python that had just devoured those fellows suddenly turned around. Its diamond-shaped snake eyes stared fixedly at Ye Xuan. Its eyes flickered with an ominous light as it let out a heaven-shaking roar.
In the next moment, an angry roar sounded out. The blue-eyed python actually charged straight at Ye Xuan, wanting to swallow him as well.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan coldly smiled. A trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. He didn't dodge or dodge as he punched through the air.
"Bam bam bam …"
A resplendent fist light bloomed, and the blue-eyed python that was pouncing towards him was directly pierced through the head by the fist light. Blood flowed out, and it fell to the ground with a loud bang, completely dead.
This fellow could be said to be greedy.
Ye Xuan didn't stop at all as he continued to head deeper into the Nine Heavens Mountain Range. The Nine Heavens Sword Sect's prison for serious criminals was located in the deepest part of the Nine Heavens Mountain Range.
No matter who it was, once they entered the Qilin Heaven Cave, they would never be able to escape. They would either die alone inside or be eaten by the magical beasts in the mountain range.
As he continued to go deeper, Ye Xuan encountered more and more dead magical beasts. There were even some seventh or even eighth grade divine beasts that were strong enough to hire an Immortal Stage expert.
Of course, the number of human cultivators Ye Xuan encountered increased as well. However, none of them were alive. All of them bled from their seven orifices, causing Ye Xuan to shiver inwardly.
Just what kind of existence was it? How powerful was the sound wave to be able to shake an Immortal Stage expert to death?
Ye Xuan found it hard to imagine.
With a strong sense of curiosity, Ye Xuan went deeper and quickly arrived at the center of the mountain range, near the Qilin Heaven Cave.
There were even more dead cultivators here, including the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect who were guarding the Qilin Heaven Catacombs. There were also many footprints left by demonic beasts and humans on the ground. It seemed like they were all rushing toward the Qilin Heaven Catacombs.
When Ye Xuan arrived at the Qilin Heaven Cave, what appeared before him was an especially spectacular and bloody scene.
At the entrance of the Qilin Heaven Cave, there was a mountain of corpses.
Not only were there all kinds of magical beasts, there were also human cultivators. Among these human cultivators were the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect who were guarding this place, as well as the criminals who were imprisoned by the Nine Heavens Sword Sect in the Qilin Heaven Cave.
Among these prisoners, their feet were still shackled with heavy shackles.
These human cultivators did not die in the same way. Some were trampled to death by magical beasts, while others bled to death from their seven apertures.
Looking at the scene before him, the doubt in Ye Xuan's eyes grew even stronger.
Judging from the situation in front of him, it seemed that these magical beasts had been summoned here, and the same was true for the cultivators.
"What happened to all of this?"
Ye Xuan's brows tightly knitted together as his eyes flickered with doubt.
"Dong, dong, dong …"
Just as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to tremble. A majestic energy fluctuation spread out from the depths of the Qilin Heaven Cave.
"Shua!"
Ye Xuan didn't stop at all as he charged towards the Qilin Heaven Cave like lightning.
The Qilin Heaven Cave was extremely large and was buried deep underground. The passageway that led deep underground was filled with all kinds of corpses. Blood dripped everywhere, and the ground was dyed blood-red, as if it had experienced an invisible massacre.
After walking out of the passageway, Ye Xuan's line of sight suddenly opened up. What appeared in his line of sight was an enormous and ancient shrine.
The walls of the shrine were lit with torches, illuminating the pitch-black shrine, revealing the ancient and mysterious giant toad statue in front of the shrine.
Ye Xuan, who possessed Ling Chi's memories, naturally recognized this toad statue. It was one of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect's divine beasts, the Berserk Blood Toad. Its growth level had reached the ninth grade, and it was only a step away from evolving into a Holy Beast.
The entire Qilin Heaven Cave was guarded by it, and the felons that were sent to the Qilin Heaven Cave were the delicacies that the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect offered to it.
Ye Xuan's gaze swept across the divine hall. After not discovering any disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect or abnormalities, he walked towards the ancient door in front of the divine hall.
Pushing open the door, what appeared in Ye Xuan's line of sight were prisons that held felons. Some of the prisons' doors had already been opened, and the felons with shackles and handcuffs had either bled to death from their seven orifices, or had escaped from the prison and died outside. It was as if they'd encountered something extremely terrifying here.
Ye Xuan didn't stop and continued forward, but he maintained his vigilance at all times.
As if he'd sensed something, Ye Xuan didn't even think about it as he explosively retreated to the side.
The instant he retreated, two wild wolf-like Berserk Earth Drilling Mice fiercely dashed out and flashed past Ye Xuan.
The human in front of them had actually dodged their surprise attack. The blood-red eyes of the two Berserk Earth Drilling Mice flickered with a fierce light. Like cheetahs, they fiercely dashed out and brandished their sharp claws to attack Ye Xuan.
One had to know that the Berserk Earth Drilling Mouse was at the seventh level, so it had a certain level of deterrence to even Immortal Stage experts.
"Swish …"
Ye Xuan's expression turned cold. With a thought, a sword qi surged out from his body and pierced through the bodies of the two Berserk Earth Drilling Mice.
"Ding."
The instant Ye Xuan killed the two Berserk Earth Drilling Mice, a gust of wind suddenly assaulted him from behind. A strong sense of danger filled Ye Xuan's heart, causing his expression to change slightly. Star energy condensed into a longsword in his hand, and he moved to the side to block.
The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out. A black shadow suddenly flashed past Ye Xuan and charged towards the passageway ahead like lightning, disappearing from Ye Xuan's line of sight.
"You want to leave?"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan's expression turned ice-cold. He executed the Nine Heavens Misty Steps and quickly chased after him.
It wasn't easy for him to meet a living person, so how could he let him go so easily?
