There was no one left in the quiet forest. There was only the mess left after the intense battle and three lifeless corpses lying in the forest.
Among the three corpses, two of them were the Devil Cult's disciples who were dressed entirely in black, while the last one was the Kunlun Sect's disciple who was the first to rush over here to kill Lu Chen. However, the three of them had collapsed at a place that was about the same distance away, yet they were emitting a similar stench of blood.
A gust of wind blew through the forest, bringing with it a faint aura. After a while, there was a sudden whistling sound coming from afar. Not long after, it arrived nearby. After a gust of wind swept past, several figures appeared. They were all people dressed in black.
The three corpses on the ground entered their line of sight immediately. Someone immediately let out a cry of shock. Then, a few people quickly went forward to check. The remaining people had cautious looks in their eyes. They held their weapons and guarded their surroundings, carefully looking into the dark depths of the forest around them.
In the end, these black-clothed men were certain that the people on the ground were already dead. There was no way to save them anymore. Each of them stood up with an unpleasant expression. It seemed that one of them who was hot-tempered even used his leg to kick the dead Kunlun disciple as he cursed.
A strange wind blew past. Two figures descended from the sky and landed on the ground. They were Fan Tui and Chen He.
When the surrounding black-robed men saw them, they all bowed and paid their respects. Fan Tui nodded his head slightly. Then, he walked to the side of the three corpses with Chen He and squatted down to examine them. A strange expression appeared on his face. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. Instead, he extended his hand and waved at the surrounding black-robed men.
The rest of the black-robed men quickly walked away without a word, leaving only Fan Tui and Chen He at their original spot.
Only then did Fan Tui look at Chen He. He had a look of surprise on his face. He said to Chen He, "What kind of magical technique did this guy use? Why is it so strange?"
Chen He also had a serious expression. His gaze swept past the wounds on the corpses in front of him. He said softly, "I have never seen this before either."
Fan Tui thought for a moment and said, "You said that this person is very likely to be the traitor from the Battle of the Desolate Valley 10 years ago. It is said that that person was the proud disciple of Elder Yun Shouyang before he rebelled. Could it be that this is also a mysterious technique that is secretly passed down in our Holy Church?"
Chen He shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. At least, I've never seen or heard of the Holy Church having such a strange Black Flame Devil Skill. However … these traces seem to be similar to the witchcraft of some southern barbarians in the Land of Chaos."
Fan Tui furrowed his brows and said, "Does this mean that we have misjudged him?"
Chen He clapped his hands and stood up. A cold smile appeared on his face as he said, "There should be no mistake. No matter what, it is a joyous occasion to be able to discover this traitor. It is also a blessing from the ancestors of the Holy Church. As long as we can kill this traitor, we will be able to comfort the countless brothers of our sect who have died tragically over the past ten years. If we don't kill him, if we don't tear this person into a thousand pieces, it will truly be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart! "
Fan Tui nodded his head and said, "That is indeed the case. Then let's continue the chase. That traitor should already be injured. He won't be able to escape quickly."
Chen He agreed and walked forward with Fan Tui. Not long after, they walked into the darkness.
The group of black-clothed people behind them also quickly followed. Occasionally, someone would sigh regretfully and look back. No one cared about the three people who had died on the ground. Perhaps in the future, they would silently rot in the forest like this, turning into dust and returning to this vast forest, becoming a part of the earth between the heavens and the earth.
However, not long after they left, a petite white figure suddenly appeared in this dark forest. An extremely beautiful young lady appeared from the darkness.
She first looked in the direction that the Devil Sect members had left in. After confirming that there was indeed no one lying in ambush there, she lowered her head and began to observe the three corpses.
However, what was strange was that she was not concerned about the Kunlun disciple, nor was she concerned about the person who was wielding the longsword that Chen He and Fan Tui had been examining. Instead, after calmly looking at the two people beside her, this young lady's entire attention was on the Devil Sect disciple who was originally wielding the flying hoop.
There were no traces of the black flame curse on this person's corpse. Instead, there were a number of large, bone-deep wounds that cut across his body, causing one's hair to stand on end. It was as if a terrifying beast had pounced on him and wreaked havoc, leaving behind a bloody wound that was too horrible to look at.
This beautiful young lady did not look old, but she did not show the slightest hint of fear in the face of such a terrifying wound. Instead, she observed the person's chest with unusual calmness. After taking a closer look, the young lady's expression suddenly turned serious. She stood up and let out a cold grunt. Then, she muttered to herself, "That black dog has indeed advanced to become a Holy Beast. I knew that my guess was right."
As she spoke, her eyes darted around, as if she was thinking about something. She was a little hesitant. After a moment, she turned her head to look at the Kunlun mountain in the distance. Then, she turned her head to look at the even further south. After comparing the two, she suddenly twisted her lips and walked toward the south.
It was almost exactly the same direction that Lu Chen had fled in a few hours ago when he was still here.
…
The huge black wolf galloped through the cold and dark night. Its speed was extremely fast, almost like the wind. However, the thick and broad back of this black wolf was unusually stable. Coupled with the soft wolf fur and the warmth that came from under its skin, it made Lu Chen feel as if he had arrived at the most beautiful place in the world.
Even though the night was still endless.
Lu Chen himself did not know where he was going. However, if he were to head south, he had a rough idea of where he would be heading. It would be nothing more than entering the Disorienting Lands.
There were many people who went to the Disorienting Lands. Apart from the countless low-level rogue cultivators, there were also many disciples of various sects who had a strong background and divine powers. The Disorienting Lands was also the hometown of the Black Dog.
The huge black wolf that was carrying Lu Chen on its back was, of course, the Black Dog. It originally had a powerful bloodline. After Lu Chen had cast a strange spell in the mysterious tree hole, Atsu suddenly erupted with all kinds of signs of power. At the last moment, after the strange full moon, it obtained the power of the full moon and broke through the records of the Holy Beasts in the Southern Barbarian Tribes.
In the process of advancing, Atsu obtained great power. At the same time, its powerful bloodline also displayed great primitive power under the rare moonlight. Almost all of the wounds on Atsu's body had healed. However, the most surprising thing was that the Black Dog could see again in one of its eyes that had been damaged.
It could see again. Atsu's power had skyrocketed by ten times. Even its body had become unusually large, filled with a strong sense of power.
Lu Chen had never seen a so-called Holy Beast before. He only knew a little about the advancement of Holy Beasts. However, when this huge black wolf appeared in front of him, Lu Chen could almost recognize it at first glance. It was Atsu.
Atsu also recognized him. When it saw that Lu Chen's body was covered with wounds and he looked like a lamp that was about to run out of oil, Atsu looked very anxious. However, in the end, it still brought Lu Chen away from this place.
As he ran south, the wind howled. Lu Chen watched the darkness around him recede into the distance. He felt like he was swimming to the shore in the sea. However, he knew that it was just an illusion.
The Kunlun Party and the Devil Cult, these two great forces, were not willing to let him go.
There was no longer a place for him in this world. Perhaps, only the chaotic and dangerous Disorientated Lands would be his final home.
Lu Chen suddenly thought of the things he had done in the Disorientated Lands ten years ago. The corners of his mouth curled into a bitter smile. He did not expect that after more than ten years, he would once again go to that disgusting place.
The black wolf's bulging muscles were like a horned dragon. Every muscle showed the unbelievable power in this black wolf's body. However, this did not stop more people who wanted his life.
The assassins arrived very quickly, including some disciples from the famous sects. After Lu Chen managed to deal with a group of people, he could only order Atsu to run into the forest instead of using the wide official road.
This move was indeed effective. After entering the forest, the few Kunlun disciples behind them did not catch up. Instead, the Devil Cult assassins came one after another.
However, the current Atsu was no longer the same as before. After absorbing the Full Moon Essence, its power had increased greatly. It was possible that it was now a very powerful mutt in the vast land of the Divine Boat.
This so-called powerful was because when they hid in the forest, Atsu would secretly lurk in the darkness for a while. Then, after a while, when it came back, Lu Chen saw something at the edge of Atsu's mouth. It even carried a faint smell of blood.
That was a certain part of the body of the assassins who were chasing after them.
On about the seventh day, Lu Chen and Atsu, who had been trekking over mountains and rivers, suddenly saw a familiar scene in their memories. It was the Dragon and Tiger Mountains, side by side. Between the two mountains, there was a long and narrow passage that extended deep inside.
Far away, in the distance, was the world's most dangerous place, the Disorientated Lands, which made all the cultivators in the world change their expressions at the mention of it.
Lu Chen's body was originally like a lamp that had run out of oil. But after these seven days of fleeing, the toughness of his body was once again displayed. He actually started to slowly recover his vitality.
But when they started to walk towards the Dragon and Tiger Mountains, preparing to enter the passage and enter the Disorientated Lands, Lu Chen who was still sitting on Hei Lang Atsu suddenly sat up straight and then used his hand to lightly pat Atsu's head.
Atsu immediately obediently stopped.
Lu Chen looked ahead, his expression suddenly became somewhat ugly. He saw that in front of him, on the passage between the valleys, there was actually a lady standing there. Her appearance was charming and beautiful, her figure was exquisite and graceful. The front of her clothes seemed to be unbuttoned, faintly revealing some snow-white fullness. It actually had a kind of charm that could hook one's soul. But, what was even more strange was, on that lady's face, there was a grave and stern expression, even in that bright gaze, there was a bit of cold murderous intent. Just like that, she looked towards Lu Chen.
