"This …" The old man stared at the tranquil water blankly. The water surface was reflecting the full moon in the sky. Everything was so tranquil, as if nothing had happened.
The old man observed his surroundings on the water surface. He was still unable to understand what was going on with the purple radiance. However, there was a bad premonition in his heart. He had no idea if everything that had happened was a coincidence or some other reason.
However, when he recalled that Cheng Yu had been slashed by him and was sucked into the swamp, he knew that it was impossible for Cheng Yu to survive!
The old man brandished his blade at the place where Cheng Yu had fallen into the water a few more times before he felt relieved. After that, he flew off.
"My god! What happened just now? "After the old man left, everyone regained their senses.
"That's right! What's going on with that purple radiance? Why is the water glowing? It's too weird! "
"Could it be an expert is hiding in the swamp?" Someone voiced out his doubts.
"Nonsense. Have you ever heard of an expert who cultivated in a swamp?"
"This is hard to say. The world is so big. There are all sorts of strange things. Perhaps, there might really be someone cultivating in the swamp?"
"Then quickly jump down. Perhaps, he might accept you as his disciple and impart you the ascension technique. Who knows?"
"Haha! That's right. Jump down and give it a try. Perhaps, these alligators are reared by him. In the future, they will all belong to you, "Everyone laughed.
"Che," That person was speechless as he returned to his resting place.

"Senior Sister Ning Yan, is there really a treasure appearing in this Death Forest?" An exquisite-looking lady asked the beautiful lady who was leading the way.
"Junior Sister Wushuang, master's Hundred Flower Star Technique has already reached the large success stage. I believe that in the entire Cultivation World, no one would be able to match master in astrology. Since master was able to predict that there would be a treasure appearing in this Death Forest, it will definitely not be wrong," The beautiful lady who was addressed as Senior Sister Ning Yan spoke with certainty.
"Then can master tell Senior Sister the location of the treasure?" Ning Wushuang enquired curiously.
Originally, Ning Wushuang was accompanying her father at home. But a few days ago, Senior Sister Ning Yan had brought a group of senior and junior sisters to Ningshui City. She told master to let her follow her senior sister to Death Forest to search for treasures.
That was why Ning Wushuang and the others appeared in the Death Forest.
"Haha! Junior Sister Wushuang, how can this Astrology Divination Technique be so mystical? It's already very amazing to be able to deduce the approximate location of the treasure. If you want to know the exact location, it's so boring. What kind of treasure can't be found in this world?" Senior Sister Ning Yan laughed.
"Hehe, Junior Sister Wushuang is really too cute. Master loves you so much. Maybe in the future, he will teach you the art of astrology. Who knows, you might be able to deduce the exact location of the treasure. At that time, our Huaxian Valley will no longer lack treasures. Hehe." Another beautiful woman said with a smile.
"Senior Sister Ning Xue, why are you teasing me again?" Ning Wushuang slapped Ning Xue's arm with a blushing face.
"Haha, what I said is true," Ning Xue said with a smile.
"That's right, Senior Sister. Since Master knows that there's a treasure here, why didn't he come and get it himself? With her ability, wouldn't it be easy for her to obtain this treasure? "Ning Wushuang suddenly asked in confusion.
"Master once said that the center of Death Forest is very mysterious. Only cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm can enter," Ning Yan explained.
"Why?"
"I don't know either. Master didn't say anything either. In short, when the treasure appears, there will be people from other sects coming. When we are seizing the treasure, we have to be careful of others plotting against us," Ning Yan reminded everyone.
"Senior Sister, look. There are a lot of people surrounding that place. What are they doing?" Ning Zi suddenly pointed to the front and said.
"That place is Death Swamp. In a while, when we are plucking the short grass, we have to be careful. It's best if we don't let anyone see us," Ning Yan said again. She seemed to be more familiar with this place. Most likely, she had come here many times.
"Senior Sister, what's the use of the short grass?" This was also Ning Zi's first time coming to Death Forest. She asked curiously.
"The short grass is a type of grass that grows in Death Swamp. It's the only way to pass through Death Swamp. Without it, the alligators in the swamp will attack us. Those people are most probably looking for a way to pass through the swamp. "
"Then, should we tell them about this method?" Ning Wushuang asked.
"No. The ten great sects had already made an agreement that we cannot tell anyone about this secret. The short grass is not only a way to pass through the swamp. It's also an important reason to prevent the Sky Water Purple Alligators from coming ashore. If everyone knew about this secret, when the time comes, the short grass on the shore would suddenly be plucked clean. That would give rise to a series of troubles, and that would be dangerous. "
"If the people outside of the ten great sects knew about it, wouldn't they say it?"
"Humans are all selfish. Knowing that there are countless treasures on the other side, why would they share it with others? Therefore, from the looks of it, we don't have to worry about this secret being leaked. If they have the ability, they will naturally be able to find a way to pass through this swamp. If they can't find it, it can only mean that they are not fated, "Ning Yan patiently explained the situation to those junior sisters who didn't understand.
"So that's the case!" Everyone suddenly understood and nodded their heads.
"Strange! Why is it like this? Why are the water in the swamp and the purple lotuses no longer purple in color? " When the few of them arrived at the edge of the swamp, Ning Yan, Ning Xue, and those who had been to Death Forest before suddenly exclaimed.
"Senior Sister, what's wrong?" Ning Wushuang asked puzzledly.
"The water and lotuses in this swamp were originally purple in color. But now, the water and lotuses have become normal. This is really too strange."
"Come, everyone, bring this short grass with you first." Ning Yan looked at the surroundings. After that, she rapidly plucked a few stalks of short grass and distributed it to her sisters. After that, she said, "Let's go and ask the others what exactly is going on."
"This Daoist friend," Ning Yan brought everyone to the front of a cultivator and asked.
"… …" When the man heard this gentle and melodious voice, he turned around and saw a group of beautiful girls. He was instantly stunned.
"Daoist friend … Daoist friend …" When Ning Yan saw the expression of the other party, she frowned slightly and called out twice. Her tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Ah! Oh! I am Guo Quanming. May I know what is the matter with fairy? "The man regained his senses and hurriedly retracted his gaze.
"Daoist friend, do you know what happened in this swamp? Why did the water and lotuses become normal?" Ning Yan retracted her dissatisfaction and asked again.
"Fairy, you have asked the right person. I do know about this matter. Furthermore, I have seen everything with my own eyes," Hearing the fairy's words, the man immediately became excited.
"Oh? Then why don't you tell us what exactly is going on? "Ning Yan and the others were also very curious.
"This matter happened last night. Last night, there was a cultivator called Cheng Yu and a Golden Core expert who had a huge battle!" The man adjusted his emotions before speaking slowly.
"Cheng Yu?!" At this moment, Ning Wushuang suddenly cried out in astonishment.
"Junior Sister, you know this Cheng Yu?" Ning Xue asked curiously.
"Daoist friend, you are saying that this Cheng Yu fought with a Golden Core expert? Where is he now? Where is he now? "Ning Wushuang nodded to Ning Xue apologetically. After that, she asked the man excitedly.
"This … this, I think … he should be … probably … dead!" When the man saw how agitated the woman was, he thought that Cheng Yu was her sweetheart. He was jealous of Cheng Yu, but at the same time, he was afraid of hurting this beautiful woman's heart.
"What probably? Alive is alive, dead is dead. Speak clearly!" When she saw Ning Wushuang's nervous expression, Ning Xue also thought that the relationship between them wasn't shallow.
"This … then he should be dead," The man hesitated before replying.
"Dead?" At this moment, Ning Wushuang didn't know how to describe her feelings. Previously, Cheng Yu had teased her. According to reason, she should be happy that he had died. But now, she didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she felt an indescribable loneliness and even a trace of discomfort.
Previously, when Cheng Yu had fought with Kunlun, Ning Wushuang was extremely worried for him. Unexpectedly, he was really fine. But now, he was killed by someone else. This kind of feeling was truly indescribable.
"Junior Sister, the dead can't be resurrected. You should be more optimistic," When Ning Xue saw Ning Wushuang's expressionless face, she felt somewhat uncertain. So, she consoled her.
"Then can you tell me what's going on with the water and lotus?" Ning Yan quickly changed the topic.
"It's like this. Back then, Cheng Yu had been beaten into the swamp by that Golden Core expert. Just as the Golden Core expert was about to give Cheng Yu another slash, something strange happened. The swamp was filled with purple light, blocking the Golden Core expert's slash. However, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the swamp, sucking Cheng Yu into the swamp. Therefore, I said that Cheng Yu should be dead.
How could a person be alive in this swamp? Besides, he was already severely injured. When we woke up this morning, the water, lotus, and even the crocodiles in the swamp had all faded, "The man's saliva splattered as he spoke with fervor. It was as if he had experienced it himself.
"That means you didn't see Cheng Yu's corpse?" Ning Xue asked.
"This … this is indeed the case. However, this swamp is filled with crocodiles. If there aren't 10,000 corpses, there should be at least 8,000. How could Cheng Yu possibly be alive?" The man pondered before replying.
"Alright. Thank you," After understanding the situation, Ning Yan brought everyone and left.
"Sigh! What a beautiful fairy. She's really my goddess. If she could become my cultivation companion, how blissful would that be? Even if I had to shorten my lifespan by tens of years, I'm still willing," The man looked at Ning Yan's back as he shook his head and sighed.
"Forget it. She is one of Huaxian Valley's beautiful fairies, Fairy Ning Yan. Would she take a fancy to a low cultivation loose cultivator like you?" At this moment, a few men walked over and mocked.
"What? She is Huaxian Valley's Fairy Ning Yan? I heard that she is already a Golden Core expert. Unexpectedly, she is actually so amiable, "The man revealed a longing expression.

"Junior Sister Wushuang, don't be sad. Since it has already happened, we can only let nature take its course." Along the way, Ning Yan saw the usually talkative Ning Wushuang had been silent. So, she tried to console her.
"Haha! Thank you, Senior Sister. I have made you worry. I'm fine," Ning Wushuang forced a smile.
"Junior Sister, can you tell me what is your relationship with him? Is he your sweetheart? "Ning Xue saw Wushuang had spoken, so she wanted to cheer her up. So, she asked.
"How can that be? It's just a chance encounter," Ning Wushuang's face turned red as she shook her head.
"Chance encounter? You must be lying. Look at how your heart is rippling. How can it be a chance encounter? "
"It's true. I have only met him once," Ning Yan shook her head.
"Met him once? Could it be love at first sight? "Ning Xue laughed again.
"How can that be? He's just a bad guy. I just wanted to kill him personally," Ning Yan laughed. After chatting with her Senior Sister, Ning Wushuang's mood became a lot better. It was as if she had returned to the day when she fought with Cheng Yu.
"Really? Bad guy? Seems like he had deceived our beautiful and adorable Junior Sister Wushuang's heart. However, I am also very curious. How did he provoke a Golden Core expert? I admire his courage, "Ning Xue commented curiously.
