It was an ancient forest that was filled with dense fog. Every ancient tree was ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall. The forest was filled with a desolate and ancient qi.
This ancient tree was known as the Iron Tree. It was known for its toughness. Even a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator might not be able to break this tree with their full strength.
Ning Fan retracted his travelling light and let the ladies down. He stopped under a towering tree and stared at the two marks on it.
He casually struck out a sword qi and carved the third mark on the tree.
They had been flying towards the ruins of the herb garden for a few days. Within these few days, they had almost travelled a hundred million li * (500m per li) away.
Instead, they had passed by this tree three times.
"This is the third time we have passed by this tree. There must be an illusion formation in this ancient forest. Moreover, the level of the illusion formation is a little high …"
The purple star in his left eye flashed. His Fu Li Eye which was able to see through illusions could not see through the veins of this illusion formation.
Ning Fan's expression became slightly solemn. If they could not see through this illusion formation, they could only rely on their luck to wander aimlessly in the forest. The probability of them reaching the ruins was a little low …
He did not know what kind of luck the two lightning generals had had to enter the ruins while they were fleeing for their lives.
* Roar *
At the side of the forest, an Early Nascent Soul Realm Wild Beast roared furiously. Behind it were tens of Nascent Soul Realm beasts.
Ning Fan was already used to the attacks of these demonic beasts. He clenched his five fingers and the sunlight condensed into a golden spear. Then, he slammed his palm on the huge spear.
In an instant, the bodies of these Wild Beasts and Nascent Soul Realm beasts were penetrated by the Parting Sun Spear and killed.
The ladies were already numb to Ning Fan's ability to instantly kill Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivators. Instead, they were more interested in this illusion formation in the forest.
"If I'm not mistaken … the illusion formation in this forest should be the Illusory Wood Ancient Formation! Unless one's formation mastery reaches the Life Immortal Realm, any cultivator who enters this formation will get lost and can only rely on their luck … "
Yuan Yao's phoenix eyes were filled with worry. Even though she recognized this formation, she was not proficient in the Dao of Formations. Thus, she could not break it. If she had a storage pouch with her, she could use some magic treasures to break the illusion formation. However, she had lost her storage pouch …
"That may not be the case. Little Cucumber has two younger sisters, Wu Yan and Xi Ran, right? They might have a way."
Since the Spirit King Palace had sent someone here, they must have brought something to break the Illusory Formation.
Upon hearing this, Wu Yan and Xi Ran shook their heads helplessly. "The Spirit King should have given us some treasures that can break the Illusory Formation, but they are all in the hands of the Purple Concubine. The two of us don't have any treasures that can break the Immortal Formation. Otherwise, we would have taken them out long ago instead of hiding them."
"If that's the case, we can only go around in circles in this formation … If we go around in circles two more times, we will definitely make all of you want to die." Yue Lingkong spread out her hands and similarly had a helpless expression on her face.
"…"
Ning Fan did not say much. Instead, he tried to use the power of the Heart Formation to probe the formation light.
Although he could not completely see through the Illusory Formation, he could slightly see the fog in the formation.
Just as he was about to further activate the power of the immortal formation, the female corpse who had always been quiet beside him suddenly pulled his sleeve and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
"Light … I … know … the … way …"
It was just a simple sentence, but it made all the women look at the female corpse in a new light.
"You know the way?"
"En … Stone … Head …"
The female corpse held Ning Fan's hand and began to lead the way with light steps.
She remembered that she had been to this place a long, long time ago …
She was not supposed to remember it. However, the purple zoysia had repaired part of her Sea of Consciousness, allowing her to recover some of her memories.
"Could it be …?"
Ning Fan's heart tightened. Could this medicinal garden be the one that Weiliang often stayed in in my previous life?!
If that's the case, it is not strange that the female corpse knows the way.
"Weiliang is indeed getting better. She is recovering her memories!"
Step by step, they passed through the forest and the trees. None of the fog and the Illusory Formation could stop the female corpse's footsteps.
Her pace was not fast. Sometimes, she would even stop from time to time as if she was pondering.
After just one day, she led the group of people through the dense fog and arrived at the center of the forest.
There was a dilapidated remains of a palace here. It did not belong to the architectural style of the Star Palace. It seemed like it had been moved here by someone.
Among the dilapidated walls and ruins, there was a decayed medicinal garden.
Inside the medicinal garden, there was extremely fertile spiritual soil. It was the precious soil that used to be used to plant sovereign medicines.
On this spiritual soil, there were still many traces of the existence of sovereign medicines. However, all of them had turned into thick piles of ashes.
"It's the ashes of sovereign medicines! Sister Wu Yan, our mission will be considered completed once we find these herb ashes. Not only that, with such a large amount of herb ashes, even the Spirit King will remember it as a great contribution. Even our clan will receive many benefits! "Xi Ran's small face was filled with joy.
"Mm!" Wu Yan did not say much. She just looked at Ning Fan with gratitude.
If it wasn't for Ning Fan, Wu Yan and Xi Ran would not be able to find these ashes. They might even have died on the Star Island.
"Thank you …"
"What are you thanking me for? If you really want to thank me, how about …" Ning Fan revealed a teasing smile. Immediately, Wu Yan's face turned red like a peach.
"N-No … I haven't thought about it yet …"
"I just want to say that if you really want to thank me, help me take care of Luo Yun and Wan Er in the future … You seem to have misunderstood me?"
"Y-You obviously mean that! I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to collect the ashes! " After being teased by Ning Fan, Wu Yan's face turned red. She rolled her eyes at Ning Fan and patted her storage pouch. She took out a magical treasure flower basket and began to collect the ashes.
She was blatantly teased by Ning Fan …
Ning Fan shook his head with a faint smile. He did not have the intention to force himself on this woman. He just wanted to let nature take its course.
He withdrew his expression and his eyes fell on a green stone at the center of the herb garden.
Beside the green stone, the female corpse moved slightly. She did not care that the green stone was covered with ashes. She gently stroked the green stone and her eyes were filled with emotion and nostalgia.
In the past, the female corpse would never be able to make such an expression.
"Butterfly … Butterfly …"
Even though she had temporarily sealed her broken Sea of Consciousness, she still remembered that there was once a young lady who fell in love with a butterfly in this place.
"Weiliang …"
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with pity. However, at the next moment, it turned into a cold ray of light.
A ray of faint purple formation light rose in the herb garden without any warning.
Within the formation light, countless purple threads tightly entangled the female corpse. Some of the purple threads even moved towards Ning Fan himself.
Who is it?! It's attacking me and Weiliang!
Without hesitation, Xi Ran, Wu Yan, Yuan Yao and Yue Lingkong took out their magic treasures and got into battle mode.
As for Ning Fan, his fingertips were surrounded by golden purple sand, which melted the purple threads. With a sway of his body, he immediately appeared beside the female corpse and helped her neutralize all the formation power. Then, he pulled her into his arms. His eyes were filled with killing intent. Abruptly, he stomped on the ground.
"Show yourself!!!"
A voice that sounded like the rumbling of ten thousand thunders resounded. Under this voice, ten beautiful figures were forced out of the void space. The leader of the group was a woman dressed in purple robes with a tassel tied around her waist. Her lips were red like cinnabar and her black hair was tied up in a bun. Her appearance was gentle but her eyes carried a hint of coldness.
However, there was also a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Lu Bei, huh … I didn't expect that an ant who relies on refined corpses would have such a huge improvement in his strength. However, it's a pity that I've already set up a Forbidden Puppet Formation here. This time, you can forget about getting any puppets or refined corpses to help you … Your strength is no longer a threat to me. Today, you will pay for the crime of contradicting me. "
This group of women was none other than the Demon Concubine of the Spirit King Palace who was led by Nalan Zi!
"Xi Ran, Wu Yan! Hand over the medicinal ashes that you've collected! Kill this Lu Bei! "Nalan Zi ordered in a cold voice.
"I refuse!" Xi Ran and Wu Yan refused without any hesitation.
"Humph! If that's the case, I won't show any mercy anymore. After I've dealt with Lu Bei, I'll bring the two of you back to the palace and await Lord Spirit King's punishment! Kill! "
The corners of Nalan Zi's lips curved into a cold smile. She waved her hand and the nine concubines behind her immediately launched their attacks.
However, before they could launch their attacks, Nalan Zi's face was filled with disbelief!
A pair of Fu Li Wings suddenly grew out from Ning Fan's back. With a flap of the purple wings, he appeared in front of Concubine Zi in the blink of an eye. He held the female corpse with one of his hands and pointed his other finger at the ten concubines. Ten shadows were pointed at the ten demon concubines.
"Nalan Zi, your tone is a little too arrogant … Do you really think that you can take my life with just a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivation?!"
Blood-red baleful qi dyed the sky red!
Under this baleful qi, Nalan Zi felt that she was as insignificant as a grain of sand in the ocean, not even worth mentioning!
"This is … What level of killing intent is this?!"
On that day, the Three Divine Guards of the Seven Apricot City had also exclaimed in surprise. However, that killing intent was borrowed by Ning Fan through trickery. It belonged to Great Emperor Ancient Chaos.
Today, this sky-piercing baleful qi was the result of Ning Fan's slaughter along the way. It belonged to him.
He was no longer the same as before!
So what if you're Nalan Zi?!
