Qin Wentian's silhouette was as fast as lightning as he dashed towards the forest. The sounds of rustling echoed unceasingly, and after a period of time, the pursuers stopped, giving up on their pursuit. After all, they still had things they needed to do.
At this moment, Yanaro's speed was also extremely fast. He waved his hands to the people around him as he commanded, "Follow me closely."
Everyone nodded their heads in silence. Everything was proceeding in silence.
Time flowed by slowly. The group of people departed from the Royal Hunting Ground and had already entered the depths of the Dark Forest. Demonic Qi permeated the air, and many of them slowed their steps as they advanced.
Mu Rou had already dismounted her horse. After killing a demonic beast, she retrieved the beast core in a clean and efficient manner. Many of them from the aristocratic clans would follow their elders to temper themselves when they were very young. Hence, they were extremely familiar with hunting.
"Demonic Qi." At this moment, Mu Rou abruptly raised her head, gazing into the distance. After which, without any hesitation, she turned and fled. She had long since learnt how to discern the degree of danger based on the density of the Demonic Qi in the Dark Forest. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to withstand this Demonic Qi, hence she decisively fled to the side.
Just as she fled, a terrifying wave of scorching Qi gushed over. The ancient trees on both sides of the forest seemed as though they were on the verge of burning up. Very quickly, a few ferocious demonic beasts appeared in her line of sight. These demonic beasts had the bodies of lions, but their heads were even more malevolent. Not only that, their bodies were as tough as rocks, yet there was also a faint glow of fire flickering on their bodies.
Astral Demonic Beasts, Firerock Lions.
This type of demonic beast could absorb Astral Energy from the Fire Attribute Constellation to grow. Not only that, their bodies were as tough as rocks, and their defense was extremely tyrannical.
Not only that, the Firerock Lions were extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty.
They ferociously pursued Mu Rou. Mu Rou sprinted with great speed, but very quickly, she discovered that there was also a powerful Demonic Qi in the vicinity of her.
"Chu Ling." Mu Rou saw a silhouette in the distance, currently defending against the encirclement of a pack of demonic wolves. The silhouette seemed to be in a sorry state, as though he would collapse at any moment.
Other than Chu Ling, another group of people were also battling against the demonic beasts. These people were none other than Qin Yao and some others from the Snowcloud Country.
Mu Rou madly sprinted in the direction of Chu Ling's location. Even before she arrived, her second Astral Soul, the Windstorm Astral Soul, had already been released. Her speed increased tremendously, and in the blink of an eye, she neared Chu Ling. Slashing out with her palms, an intense wind blade directly tore a demonic wolf apart.
"You don't have to do anything," Chu Ling said Coldly, but her hands did not stop moving.
"There's a powerful demonic beast coming. Let's go." Mu Rou roared. However, it seemed that it was already too late. She, who was being held back by the demonic wolves, soon saw a few Cinderclast Lions charging over, surrounding her.
"You deliberately harmed me." Chu Ling's countenance turned ashen as she stared at the Cinderrock Lions. Based on the aura emitted by these Cinderrock Lions, they were at least at the 5th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, equivalent to the 3rd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm. As for these Astral Beasts, their strength should be at the 5th or 6th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.
The Cinderrock Lions spat out a ball of flames towards them. Mu Rou's countenance was extremely unsightly to behold, as the windstorm enveloped her body. Her movement technique was extremely fast, and she dodged the flames as she inched closer to the Cinderrock Lions. The defense of these Cinderrock Lions was extremely strong, and based on her strength, if she didn't land a direct hit on the Cinderrock Lions, she wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
While the two of them were fighting miserably, Yanaro slowly walked out, with a smile that was not a smile on his face as he stared at the battlefield.
"Yanaro, why aren't you helping?" Chu Ling called out to Yanaro, only to see Yanaro laughing as he replied, "Should I help you, or should I help Mu Rou?"
"Mu Rou hates you very much, so don't be so thick-skinned and stick yourself to others." Chu Ling coldly replied, but as the sound of her voice faded, she let out a cry of fear, as she was almost attacked.
Mu Rou's countenance stiffened. In the past, her relationship with Chu Ling was extremely good. Who would have thought that because of Qin Wentian, Chu Ling would actually hate her so much?
"Hehe." Yanaro didn't seem to be in a hurry to act, as he laughed, "What conditions do you guys promise me?"
"I'll give you 50 pieces of Yuan Meteor Stones from the 2nd Heavenly Layer." Chu Ling silently cursed Yanaro in her heart. This bastard actually dared to extort her at such a time. Mu Rou didn't say anything, and continued fighting.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew past at an extremely fast speed. The silhouette of a person dashed to Mu Rou's side, and with a dragon's roar, he punched out with his fist, directly hitting a Cinderrock Lion.
"Boom!" The terrifying force of the punch actually sent the Cinderrock Lion flying back. One could see how powerful the Dragon Subduing Fist was.
"Is that him?" Mu Rou's countenance brightened when she saw who it was. This was a man wearing a kirin mask. Although he had changed his clothes, from the way he moved and the way he executed the Dragon Subduing Fist, it should be none other than Qin Wentian.
Chu Ling also noticed the appearance of Qin Wentian. She didn't expect that the kirin-masked man from the City of Illusions would appear here. She wondered which academy he was from.
"Leave it to me." Qin Wentian's voice was low as he executed the 9 Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique. Momentarily, Mu Rou only saw a series of afterimages appearing behind him. The demonic wolves had no way to withstand a single strike from Qin Wentian. Even the Cinderrock Lion would suffer heavy injuries if it was struck by Qin Wentian. The Dragon Subduing Fist, an innate technique at the pinnacle of humanity, could unleash a terrifying might in the hands of Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian was using Divine Energy from the 5th Heavenly Layer, how could his attacks not be tyrannical?
Yanaro's countenance turned extremely unsightly when he saw this scene. It was him, the member of the Knight's Association in the City of Illusions.
In the blink of an eye, in front of Qin Wentian, there was only one remaining Cinderrock Lion, the human Wu Xiu, whose strength was at the 6th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.
"ROAR!" The Cinderrock Lion let out an earth-shattering roar of rage as it madly dashed towards Qin Wentian.
In that instant, Qin Wentian didn't even bother to dodge. He directly dashed towards the Cinderrock Lion, not using any movement techniques.
"DIE!" A low voice sounded out from Qin Wentian's mouth, as he simultaneously blasted out a tyrannical palm strike. This palm strike was erratic, and contained both hardness and gentleness, containing a terrifying might. With a cracking sound, the skull of the Cinderrock Lion was directly shattered into pieces. After which, it slumped to the ground, not a single sound could be heard.
"How powerful." Chu Ling's heart trembled. Qin Wentian's aura was only at the 5th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, yet he actually possessed such terrifying combat prowess. Most probably, he could even kill Stellar Martial Cultivators at the 6th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.
As for Yanaro, his countenance flickered with a sharp light. The palm strike earlier seemed similar to the Thousand Hands Imprint, but at the same time, it wasn't.
Mu Rou, on the other hand, was much calmer. She had sparred with Qin Wentian for many days, and knew that he was extraordinary. Her silhouette flickered as she helped Chu Ling sweep away the demonic wolves in the surroundings, and very quickly, the battlefield was cleared.
On the other side, although the battle between Qin Yao and the rest had yet to end, Qin Yao wouldn't be in any danger.
"BOOM!" At this moment, a tyrannical Sword Intent abruptly gushed forth from Yanaro's body. He took a step in the direction of Qin Wentian, as a desolate killing intent gushed towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian abruptly turned around, as a cold glint of light flickered in his eyes as he stared at Yanaro.
"Bzzz!" Yanaro dashed towards Qin Wentian, as the Sword Qi exuding from his body grew increasingly tyrannical. It was as though a terrifying storm of swords was brewing around him.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian's footsteps shook the ground, as he madly sprinted towards Yanaro. The boundless Divine Energy in his body frenziedly circulated towards his five arterial pathways, as the sound of his Divine Energy rumbling could be heard.
"Chi, chi …" Yanaro stabbed out with his finger, as a sword materialized in the middle of his finger, piercing towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's body swayed back and forth like a willow catkin, and at the instant the sword neared him, he merely brushed past the Sword Qi.
"Hmph." Yanaro coldly laughed. With a flick of his palms, he punched out with his five fingers, as though the Sword Qi wanted to lacerate everything in its path.
And at the same instant, Qin Wentian's arterial pathways emitted a terrifying rumbling sound. His body abruptly shifted to the side, as his palms slammed towards Yanaro with the force of a hurricane, akin to a raging tempest.
The attacks of the two collided together, as the palm imprints were unceasingly torn apart. Qin Wentian was forced backwards, and so was Yanaro. He felt his blood and Qi churning violently within his body, and when he looked at Qin Wentian again, an intense killing intent could be seen in his eyes.
Qin Wentian lowered his head and glanced at the front of his robes. Numerous holes had been lacerated by the Sword Qi, and if it weren't for the fact that he had retreated so quickly, the Sword Qi would have already injured him. Given Yanaro's cultivation base at the 7th level of Arterial Circulation, it wouldn't be easy to defeat him.
At this moment, there were many silhouettes around. Qin Wentian surveyed his surroundings, as his silhouette flickered as he retreated to the side. He cast a glance in the direction of Qin Yao, and at this moment, Qin Yao and the rest had already settled their problems, and were continuing on their way.
"No … …" At this moment, a cry of terror drifted over, causing Qin Wentian's countenance to stiffen. It was the voice of Qin Yao.
Qin Wentian sprinted in that direction, and very quickly, his gaze froze as his entire body trembled.
In Qin Wentian's field of vision, there was a black-colored castle. This castle was extremely large, yet it exuded a sense of eeriness, as though it couldn't see the light of day. The pitch-black gates of the castle were made from black iron, and gave off an extremely heavy feeling.
However, just outside of this castle, there was a drill ground surrounded by demonic beasts. In the middle of the drill ground, a group of terrifying demonic beasts were currently attacking a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man's entire body was covered in blood, and his hair was in a mess. Only his eyes were still filled with vigor.
"Father!" Qin Yao screamed.
"Father." Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath, trying his best to maintain his calm.
Yanaro and the rest had followed Qin Yao all the way here. Could it be that they were waiting for this moment, to allow Qin Yao to arrive here and witness such a cruel scene?
Was this battle prepared for Qin Yao?
What was Chu Tianjiao's purpose?
Yanaro, Chu Ling, Mu Rou, and many others also arrived here, as they stared at the castle in front of them.
"The legendary Black Castle." Mu Rou murmured in a low voice. The Black Castle was a place where death row criminals were imprisoned. It was rumored that it was located in the depths of the Dark Forest, and once you entered the Black Castle, it would be impossible for you to escape even if you grew wings.
That middle-aged man was Qin Yao's father. In that case, he should also be Qin Wentian's father.
Thinking of this, Mu Rou walked to the side of Qin Wentian, as she whispered, "The Black Castle is an extremely important place, and the security inside is incomparably tight. Only those who enter can enter, but not those who leave. However, Qin Chuan is currently outside the Black Castle. This might be a trap, don't fall for it."
Qin Wentian's heart trembled. So it turned out that Mu Rou already knew of his identity.
Naturally, this was a trap. But why would Chu Tianjiao want to lay such a trap?
He didn't understand. In his heart, a raging fire burned.
