Jianchen could not help but be surprised when he heard what Ruijin had said. He knew that the Heavenly Enchantress' strength had skyrocketed at an unbelievable rate in the past few years. She was extremely powerful now, where she could be described as unfathomable. However, he had never thought that the Heavenly Enchantress would still be able to remain elusive before the Holy Emperor who had reached Great Perfection. This completely exceeded Jianchen's expectations.
"Has the Heavenly Enchantress' strength increased in the past few years because she gave birth to the Innate Chaotic Body?" Jianchen thought to himself. At the same time, he thought about what the sword spirits had said. The mother of the Innate Chaotic Body would be blessed by the heavens and possess limitless potential.
A strange light flickered through You Yue's eyes. Although she had not heard the zither music in the Bright Moon Divine Hall, she had already guessed many things from the conversation between Ruijin and Jianchen. She arrived beside Jianchen and gently held his arm. She did not show any dissatisfaction, only deep curiosity. She gently asked, "Jianchen, who is the person who secretly assisted us? She's so powerful that even senior Ruijin was unable to discover her."
Jianchen hesitated. He looked at You Yue and said, "Yue 'er, she calls herself the Heavenly Enchantress. Others call her the Heavenly Enchantress. If she hadn't assisted us earlier and destroyed the Origin Formation of Changyang Prefecture, we probably would have been in quite a lot of trouble."
Jianchen paused. Before You Yue could ask any more questions, he continued, "Now that the problem of Changyang Prefecture has been dealt with, let's immediately set off for the Heaven's Incense School. Senior Black Fish's poison is extremely deep. His life is in danger at any time, so we need to obtain the antidote as soon as possible."
Ruijin and Honglian became stern when they mentioned Black Fish. They both understood just how powerful the poison was. Even the origin energy of Radiant Saint Force could not be removed. If they could not obtain the antidote, even if Black Fish was a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection, he would still die.
They had already learned the location of the Heaven's Incense School from Changyang Zu Yunxiao. Afterward, Ruijin ripped open a Space Gate and sent them several million kilometers away.
The Heaven's Incense School was a rather unique existence among the ten protector clans because it was a protector clan famed for its poison. The most common and most powerful method of attack in the Heaven's Incense School was not the devastating Saint Tier Battle Skills but the unrivaled poison. At the same time, the cultivation method they practiced was extremely special. Their vast Saint Force was also filled with various powerful poisons. Their use of poison had reached the apex long ago, where no one on the entire Tian Yuan Continent could match them.
The poisons of the Heaven's Incense School came in all sorts of strange ways. They possessed all sorts of methods, and they would often poison their targets without them noticing. Some of the more powerful poisons could even threaten Holy Emperor level experts.
This was a boundless prairie. All kinds of weeds had already grown to a height of three to four meters. The branches and leaves were flexible and strong. In the sky above the prairie, the white clouds had already pressed down to a height of a hundred meters. They gathered together and did not disperse. No matter how the wind whistled, it could not blow away this thick layer of clouds.
Jianchen hugged You Yue as he hovered three meters in the air with Ruijin and Honglian. The tips of their feet gently touched the grass. They seemed as light as a feather, where even the fragile grass could support their weight.
"Up ahead is the entrance to the miniature world of the Heaven's Incense School. I can already vaguely sense the spatial pulses unique to the World Gate," Ruijin calmly said as he stared ahead.
Their gazes were all focused on the empty space in front of them. In their line of sight, there was nothing but a vast expanse of green.
At this moment, a faint green figure flashed by. The tip of an unnamed plant beneath Jianchen's feet suddenly split open, forming a huge, green mouth the size of a head. It was filled with sharp thorns, and slivers of viscous liquid slowly flowed within. It bit at one of Jianchen's feet with unbelievable speed.
The sound of a weapon snapping rang out. Not only did the sharp teeth in the green mouth fail to bite through Jianchen's skin, but they also snapped off instead. Slivers of green viscous liquid stained Jianchen's pant leg that had been bitten, melting it almost instantly.
The green, viscous liquid was extremely poisonous and corrosive.
Jianchen did not seem to sense what was happening beneath his feet. He continued to stare ahead, but in the next moment, his leg that was still bitten by the green mouth trembled gently, directly shattering the green mouth and the branches below it.
Ruijin and Honglian did not look at what was happening to Jianchen. Ruijin murmured, "These plains have been modified in the past. They can block out many people. It's probably the doing of the Heaven's Incense School."
A sliver of malice flashed through Honglian's eyes. She said, "I can burn these plains to the ground with a single flame." Due to what had happened to Black Fish, Honglian did not have a good impression of the Heaven's Incense School.
"I seem to know about these plains. These plains are known as the Oasis of Death by people. There are no magical beasts living in the Oasis of Death, only various, strange plants. However, almost every single one of these plants can cause fatal harm. Earth Saint Masters have a slim chance of surviving if they enter, and even Heaven Saint Masters can't fly over. Due to the layer of clouds in the sky, Heaven Saint Masters can only fly below the clouds. They can't fly more than a hundred meters above the ground. However, there are many plants in the Oasis of Death that can extend their flexible roots to a hundred meters in the air. They can wrap around Heaven Saint Masters who pass by and suck them dry, "Jianchen said with a heavy voice.
"Looks like this Oasis of Death has harmed quite a few lives in the past. Hmph, it would be fine if this place grew naturally, but it just so happens to be modified by the Heaven's Incense School. As one of the ten great protector clans, they've actually created such a vicious place to harm lives. I don't think the Heaven's Incense School is anything good, so let me do a good deed." Honglian coldly said. As soon as she finished speaking, a scarlet flame surged from her body. With her at the center, it turned into a ring of fire that rapidly expanded in all directions.
This was no ordinary fire. Although it was just a casual attack from Honglian, its power could not be underestimated. Wherever the huge ring of fire passed, all the plants were reduced to ashes. Even the soft soil on the ground had been burned to hard rock. All the roots that had taken root in the ground had withered away.
The ring of fire expanded to ten kilometers in diameter before it began to disperse. In just a single moment, an empty area appeared around Jianchen's group. The ground was black with cracks, and the smell of burnt flesh still lingered in the air.
Five kilometers away, flames surged into the sky as black mist surged. Although the ring of fire with terrifying heat had already vanished, it had ignited the plants in the distance. The flames slowly spread towards the entire Oasis of Death with unstoppable force. Wherever it passed, the ground would be charred black, leaving behind a thick smell of burnt flesh in the air.
Suddenly, the space before Ruijin's group began to ripple. A two-meter-wide world gate suddenly appeared, and a short, bald old man in black robes emerged. His face was filled with anger. "Who dares to do this? Who dares to do this?
"How dare you! Who set this place on fire? What … this is outrageous! The oasis that we worked so hard to nurture has been burned to such a state! Who did this? Stand up for this old man! Even if I take your head off, it won't make up for the sins you've committed!" The bald old man immediately cursed in exasperation when he saw how the oasis had been burned to such a state. All of his attention was focused on the oasis that had already been reduced to a sea of fire, so he did not notice Jianchen's group.
"Of course we did. However, your Heaven's Incense School may be one of the ten protector clans, but you're still lacking if you want to take our heads off," Jianchen sneered.
"Who dares to challenge the authority of the Heaven's Incense School? Don't they know that the Heaven's Incense School is- is- is-" The bald old man became even more furious, but he became tongue-tied halfway through his sentence. Like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, his anger was completely extinguished. He looked at Jianchen, Ruijin, and Honglian with a pale face. At this moment, he finally recognized who they were.
The bald old man reacted extremely quickly as well. He vanished with a swish, and the world gate closed as quickly as it could.
The bald old man seemed to have lost all his strength in a single moment within the miniature world of the Heaven's Incense School. He sat on the ground powerlessly as sweat dripped from his forehead. He constantly gasped for breath as deep fear remained in his eyes, even though he was a Saint Ruler.
"Why have they come? And they've burned down the oasis that we've spent so much effort to nurture as soon as they've come. They've come with ill intentions. It's over, it's over. We're in big trouble now." The old man's voice trembled as his heart was filled with fear. He had once witnessed the battle between Ruijin and Honglian against the Holy Emperor, which had left an indelible shadow in his heart. As a result, he was extremely afraid of Ruijin and Honglian.
"I need to report this to the school master as soon as possible." The bald old man suppressed his fear and flew into the depths of the miniature world in a panic.
