The battle between Mount Wuzhi and Mount Wu came to an end. Mount Wu suffered the greatest loss. Hundreds of thousands of its members were slaughtered.
However, more than half of Wu Shan's main fighting force had escaped. Even though many of them had been intercepted and killed by the pursuers of Mount Wuzhi after being teleported away through the Teleportation Formation, at least ten mutated magical beasts, as well as top-notch experts like the Great Elder of Wu Shan, had all escaped safely.
After Mount Wuzhi destroyed the Isolation Forest, they left the Shura Continent. They did not interact with the natives of the Shura Continent, because they did not want to talk to such lowly creatures. This was also why the news that Xing Jue was in the Starfall Dynasty and came from the Mortal Realm did not spread.
Soon, the news that Mount Wuzhi had destroyed Mount Wu shook the world. In the eyes of the world, Mount Wuzhi once again established its position as the world's king.
But in fact, Mount Wuzhi was still having a headache searching for the top experts of Mount Wu.
Especially when they learned that Mount Wu had an Evil Spirit Body with the strength of a high-level Asura Martial God, they felt even more uneasy. They were deeply afraid that Mount Wu would make a comeback. After all, the Evil Spirit Body was too terrifying.
But in front of the world, they still had to shamelessly say that Mount Wu had been eliminated and only a few of them had escaped. Their goal was simple — to establish their position as king.
But at the same time, there was another piece of news that was hidden from the world. Jiang Yunhe, the Highest Elder of Mount Wuzhi, did not return to Mount Wuzhi.
The higher-ups of Mount Wuzhi guessed that he had died at the hands of the Evil Spirit Body. After all, the horror of the Evil Spirit Body was clearly recorded in history. Even if Jiang Yunhe had an Honorable Weapon, he might not be a match for it in a one-on-one fight.
Jiang Yunhe's disappearance was unfortunate for Mount Wuzhi, but for some people, it was a happy event.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. During this time, there was no more disturbance in the world. Jiang Yunhe did not appear. It was as if he had completely disappeared.
Similarly, Mount Wuzhi did not find any more clues about the experts of Mount Wu. It was as if they had disappeared from the world along with Jiang Yunhe.
During this time, Mount Wuzhi kept a secret. The world thought that Mount Wu had been eliminated by Mount Wuzhi.
However, there was one piece of news that even Mount Wuzhi did not know. The experts from Mount Wu that they were secretly searching for had not disappeared. Instead, they had all gathered in the Dusty Royal City in the Eastern Region.
"Blood Sister, how do you feel today?"
In an underground palace in the Dusty Royal City, Xing Jue and Xue Mei sat alone in a room.
"Yes, I'm basically fine now. I've recovered at least ninety percent of my strength." Xue Mei smiled very brightly. She looked like a naive and unaffected young girl, and not an evil spirit that everyone feared.
Xue Mei had been gravely injured that day and had lost most of her strength. However, under Xing Jue's meticulous care over the past six months, Xue Mei's injuries had basically healed.
"Ninety percent? Don't worry, I'll help you recover even if it's just 10%, "Xing Che promised confidently.
Right now, Xing Jue's aura was several times stronger than before. In the past half a year, Xing Jue had not been idle for even a moment. Apart from refining pills to help Xue Mei heal, he had been cultivating diligently.
Under his desperate cultivation and with the help of the pills, he had successfully broken through to High Rank Asura Martial Venerable a few days ago. He had done it earlier than he had expected.
"Thank you, brother!" Gratitude appeared on Xue Mei's face.
She was grateful to Xing Jue from the bottom of her heart. In the past half a year, Xing Jue had come to visit her every day and cared for her very much. He had made her feel the warmth of family again.
Most importantly, not only had Xing Jue treated her well, he had even specially built this vast underground palace under the Dusty Royal City. He had taken in all the people of Mount Wu here so that they would not be hunted down by Mount Wuzhi.
In reality, if it hadn't been for Xue Mei's orders, the people of Mount Wu would not have been willing to stay. What they wanted to do the most was to kill the people of Mount Wuzhi and avenge their fellow sect members.
Although Mount Wu had suffered great losses, those who had survived were all terrifying existences.
Ten mutated Demonic Beasts and the Great Elder of Mount Wu made up eleven high-level Asura Martial Gods. This kind of combat power was enough to easily destroy the Dusty Royal City.
Moreover, apart from these eleven terrifying existences, there were also thirty-eight survivors. These thirty-eight were all mid-level Asura Martial Gods. Every single one of them was a ruthless character who could stir up a bloody storm in the world.
The people of Mount Wu cultivated a very strange cultivation method. Ever since they cultivated the Power of Curses, they became even more bloodthirsty. Therefore, they had been forced to hole up in this underground palace, which made them feel suffocated. However, they did not dare to disobey Xue Mei's orders.
This was because Xue Mei was the current true master of Mount Wu. She had inherited Old Demon of Mount Wu's legacy and was considered half a disciple of Old Demon of Mount Wu.
However, in reality, Xue Mei's current strength was no weaker than Old Demon of Mount Wu's. Her potential was even greater.
After all, the Body of Evil Spirits was publicly recognized as a ferocious creature. Even the mysterious existence in Xing Jue's body had warned Xing Jue solemnly about how terrifying she was.
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite to your brother?"
Xing Jue gently tapped Xue Mei's forehead with a doting smile on his face. Xue Mei's life was tragic and she had very painful memories. If possible, Xing Jue really did not want her to be hurt again.
"That's right, Xue Mei. I'm going out for a while. During this time, you have to be good and stay here. Don't let the people of Mount Wu leave this place."
"Brother, are you going to the Land of Extreme Cold?"
"How did you know?" Xing Jue was stunned, but he quickly regained his senses and asked, "Did Xiao Lian tell you that?"
Back when Xue Mei entered the Soul Devouring Tomb in the Soul Devouring Order, Xiao Lian was very enthusiastic when he saw a living person enter. Therefore, from that day onwards, Xue Mei became the second person to know Xiao Lian. However, she could only hear Xiao Lian's words and not see his face.
"Brother, I have the body of an evil spirit. I'm not afraid of fire, nor am I afraid of the cold. Let me go with you," Xue Mei pleaded. In truth, she was worried that Xing Jue would be in danger if he went alone.
"No, your body has not recovered yet. You cannot leave this place." Xing Jue refused.
"I know you are going to save your sister, Bao 'er. I can help you." Xue Mei continued to plead. She had already heard about Bao' er from Xiao Lian.
"Silly sister, I appreciate your kindness, but Bao 'er's soul has been destroyed. Only her body remains, and no one can help her. She can only rely on herself." Xing Jue smiled and shook his head. It was a very bitter smile. "That's right.
"That's why I said I can. Don't you want to know why the people of Mount Wu are still alive even though most of them were fatally injured? And why did they become stronger? "Xue Mei's bloody eyes stared at Xing Jue. Her innocent face was very serious.
"Could it be … the power of the curse?" Xing Jue suddenly thought of the mysterious power of the curse.
"That's right. The power of the curse has the power of resurrection. It helped the elites of Mount Wu survive."
"Actually … if it wasn't for the fact that the previous Master Witch's time was up and he put all his hope on me and gave me his power, he wouldn't have died now," Xue Mei confirmed.
"But didn't the power of the curse run out when the teleportation portal was activated?" Xing Jue was a little tempted. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to try.
"The power of the curse is gone, but don't forget that I have the body of an evil spirit. My power is equivalent to the power of the curse. Actually …"
What Xue Mei wanted to say was that back in the Shura Continent, Xing Jue burned his soul and destroyed his body in order to help the Soul Elder buy time.
She used her power to help Xing Jue recover. However, she was afraid that Xing Jue would feel burdened, so she didn't say it out loud.
"I remember now. No wonder the power of the curse feels familiar. It's similar to my sister's body of an evil spirit."
At this moment, Xing Jue couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had seen Sister Xue's true power before. She was even stronger than his Spirit Eater Race's soul. After hearing Sister Xue's words, his heart was filled with hope.
"If you leave, can you guarantee that the people of Mount Wu won't do anything?" However, after that, Xing Jue thought of the most important problem. Only Xue Mei could manage the monsters of Mount Wu.
"As long as it's my order, they won't dare to disobey it!" Xue Mei promised solemnly.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. We'll leave today!"
Xing Jue knew how strong Xue Mei was. With her following him, Xing Jue would feel more at ease. After all, he was only a high-level Asura Wu Zun. Even if he used Soul Burst, he would only be a low-level Asura Martial God.
However, the Land of Extreme Frost was an extremely terrifying place. Even high-level Asura Martial Gods wouldn't dare to step into it without special treasures. Most importantly, it was said that there were unknown, terrifying creatures there. They were extremely powerful.
Xing Jue also suspected that the Snow Phoenix Lotus, the most important ingredient for refining a sixth-grade pill, was very likely to be in the Land of Extreme Frost.
According to the records in the Book of Immortal Herbs, the Snow Phoenix Lotus was an extraordinary item of the world. It was born with spiritual energy, and a seedling was comparable to a fifth-grade immortal herb. A mature Snow Phoenix Lotus was comparable to a sixth-grade immortal herb.
It could even transform into a Snow Phoenix and soar in the sky. However, it could only exist in the Land of Extreme Frost. It could never leave.
Thinking about the Land of Extreme Frost and the uniqueness of the Snow Phoenix Lotus, Xing Jue felt that either this world didn't have such an extraordinary item, or it must be in the Land of Extreme Frost.
If he found the Snow Phoenix Lotus, Xing Jue would be able to refine a sixth-grade pill and directly break through to the Asura Martial God realm. Together with Xiao Lian, he could guarantee that he could refine a Soul Exalt into a high-grade Honorable Weapon.
At that time, even a high-level Asura Martial God could be easily killed by the Punishment Execution. Perhaps in this world, apart from that mysterious faction.
Other than that mysterious force, only the Great Elder of Mount Wuzhi who had an Honorable Weapon, Song Yufeng, and Bai Hua Fairy, who were geniuses of a thousand years, could fight him.
With such strength, and the forces of Dusty Royal City and Mount Wu, Xing Jue had already decided to attack Mount Wuzhi in a few months and obtain the other four Luocha Stones in one fell swoop.
As long as he obtained the Luocha Stones, even if the hidden mysterious force was alerted, Xing Jue wouldn't be afraid anymore, because he had a premonition.
As long as he obtained the approval of the mysterious force in his body and was willing to lend him a hand, he would be invincible. At that time, he would be the master of the Soul Source World, and he could even obtain the power to return to the Sky Martial Continent.
