The silhouette was that of a graceful woman. She had mysteriously appeared here. Even Mo Wen did not seem to have noticed her.
"Is he Mo Wen? Junior Sister Lin Qing asked me to take care of him during the Heaven List Tournament. However, Junior Sister Lin Qing seems to have underestimated his ability. With his current cultivation level, I'm afraid that even if I don't take care of him, he would still be able to pass easily.
The mysterious woman extended a fair and slender finger and twirled her long hair. Then, it turned into bubbles and disappeared from the spot.
If Mo Wen had heard this, he would have been shocked. This person had actually mentioned Lin Qing. What was her relationship with Lin Qing?
The leader of the criminals, Bao Xun, was indeed vicious and heartless. In order to survive and please Mo Wen, he had pretended that he was escaping. Then, he had summoned all his subordinates and personally killed them.
The people who lived in the Red Stone forest were almost all extremely vicious criminals. They had no compassion for life at all.
Bao Xun had more than 30 people under him. All of them had Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. Everyone's points added up to about 250.
Of course, it was not as good as Bao Xun alone. The life of a Martial Arts Grandmaster was far more valuable than those Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners.
In less than an hour after entering the Red Stone forest, Mo Wen's points were close to 300. For the ordinary participants, it was simply unimaginable.
However, Mo Wen was shocked to discover that his current points were actually not even in the top ten.
Right now, Mo Wen was sitting cross-legged on a red rock. He held his magical treasure jade pendant in his hand. Through the jade pendant, he had already entered another space.
Before him was a mysterious palace hall. On one of the walls of the palace hall was a ranking list. There were 30 names recorded on it.
Mo Wen discovered that his ranking was actually only 19th. There were more than 10 people ahead of him.
This ranking list was the Red Stone Ranking List. It could be checked through the Huatian Palace's secret jade pendant. When all the participants increased their points, the ranking list would be tabulated immediately. Then, the rankings would be adjusted according to the points.
Mo Wen's luck was not bad. Not long after entering the Red Stone forest, he had encountered a group of criminals. His points had increased by a large amount. The criminals in the Red Stone forest knew how to hide. Some people who were unlucky might not even have encountered one until now.
Even so, he was only ranked 19th. There were a total of 18 people ahead of him.
"This year's Heaven List Tournament is indeed very competitive."
Mo Wen sighed in his heart. In the previous session, with his results, he would have been able to sit firmly on the throne of first place. If his guess was correct, there were probably already Martial Arts Grandmaster level criminals who had died at the hands of these participants, and there might even be more than one.
Luck was only a small part of the rankings. The majority of the rankings were based on one's own strength. With luck, they might be able to get on the list for a while, but it wouldn't be long before they were pushed down by others.
Ten meters away from the rock that Mo Wen was sitting cross-legged on, Bao Xun sat obediently on the ground. He was quite a distance away from Mo Wen. On the surface, he appeared to be very respectful, but his eyes kept flickering. He seemed to be very hesitant.
As a Martial Arts Grandmaster who had been imprisoned in the Red Stone Forest for more than twenty years, he naturally knew some of the mysteries of the jade pendant. Right now, Mo Wen's thoughts had definitely entered the ranking space. If he were to launch a sneak attack at this moment, he might have a certain chance of killing this young man. However, it was only a certain chance, and he wasn't sure if he would succeed.
After hesitating for a while, he finally chose to give up. He didn't dare to take the risk. He only had one chance. If he failed, it would mean death.
After struggling on the edge of life and death for so many years, Bao Xun deeply understood the importance of being safe. He would not gamble his life over a possibility.
Mo Wen slowly collected his thoughts and glanced at Bao Xun who was ten meters away. Then, he got up and said, "Lead the way. I hope you are telling the truth. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
After a period of interaction, Mo Wen had learned quite a bit about the Red Stone Forest from Bao Xun.
The Red Stone Forest was a little bigger than he had imagined. There were quite a number of criminals living in it. They came from all over the world, the main space, the inner world, foreign factions, and some mysterious places. Almost everyone who appeared on the Savages List was imprisoned here.
As such, the criminals imprisoned here came from all over the world. There were almost all kinds of people. Even if they encountered some foreigners or some strange races, it was quite normal.
There was no specific count of the number of criminals in the Red Stone Forest. Even the Huatian Palace might not have specific data. It was because the people here were fighting every day. Deaths were on display at all times. A large number of people were imprisoned here, and a large number of people would die in there. If one didn't specifically count, no one would know exactly how many criminals there were in the Red Stone Forest.
Bao Xun roughly estimated that the number of criminals in the Red Stone Forest should always be more than ten thousand.
Mo Wen was shocked by such a huge number. He had originally thought that it would be a lot if there were a few thousand criminals imprisoned here. It seemed that he had underestimated this world-class prison.
In order to survive, it was common for the criminals in the Red Stone Forest to form gangs. Although they were extremely vicious, they knew the importance of unity. As such, it was common to see a faction rise or fall.
A gang of twenty to thirty people like Bao Xun's was the lowest level faction in the Red Stone Forest. They were almost unknown.
In the Red Stone Forest, the ten most famous factions all had strong practitioners in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Third Realm. Some even had more than one.
After killing all of his subordinates, Bao Xun very professionally planned his next target for Mo Wen.
It was a small gang of about thirty to forty people. The leader was a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Other than that, the rest were ancient martial art practitioners in the Golden Elixir Realm.
Bao Xun's gang had fought with this faction before, so he knew where the gang's stronghold was.
"My Lord, please follow me. The gang is about two hundred kilometers from here. With the strength of our legs, we can reach it in an hour."
Bao Xun respectfully led the way in front. He used his movement techniques to move forward. The scenery on both sides passed by rapidly.
Flying was not allowed in the Red Stone Forest. No matter how strong one's cultivation was, they could not fly in the Red Stone Forest. Even if an immortal cultivator in the Primordial Soul Realm or an ancient martial art practitioner who had become immortal came, it would still be the same.
The Huatian Palace had set up a huge anti-flight stratagem that enveloped every area of the Red Stone Forest. This was also one of the reasons why the criminals imprisoned here could not escape.
Two hundred kilometers away, there was a Red Stone Mountain. The mountain was steep and was rather dangerous. There was only one path up the mountain.
In ancient times, such a mountain would have been easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was the most suitable place to build a defensive fortress.
Mo Wen and Bao Xun stood on a cliff in the Red Stone Mountain. They were surrounded by towering peaks.
"My Lord, behind the iron chain bridge is the gang's stronghold. You can't see anything from the outside, but after you pass the iron chain bridge, the cliff behind the iron chain bridge opens up into a whole new world."
Bao Xun pointed at an iron chain bridge as thick as an arm in the distance. The iron chain was five hundred meters long and stretched across two mountain peaks. Below it was a cliff.
The gravity in the Red Stone Forest was rather strange. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would most likely be smashed to pieces if they fell from such a height.
If it were not for the iron chain bridge, it would not have been easy for Mo Wen to enter the opposite mountain peak.
"There is a fortress under the cliff in front of the iron chain bridge. Its position is rather hidden. We can't see it from this angle. We can only see it when we walk up to the iron chain bridge. However, at that time, we will definitely be discovered by them, "Bao Xun said.
Due to the influence of the environment in the Red Stone Forest, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would most likely find it difficult to sneak into the stronghold. Under normal circumstances, they would usually be discovered unless they practiced special martial arts methods and martial arts teachings.
"There's no need to hide."
Mo Wen waved his sleeve. His silhouette became a bolt of lightning as he dashed towards the iron chain bridge. If what Bao Xun said was true and there was only one Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioner here, then there was indeed no need to hide. If Bao Xun had lied to him and there was an unknown danger here, then he had a way to escape.
He had come here to kill people and obtain points. If he could kill to his heart's content, why would he need to hide?
Mo Wen did not have much pity for the criminals in the Red Stone Forest. It was because those who could be imprisoned here by the Huatian Palace were not good people. Mo Wen knew that the Huatian Palace's way of doing things was rather positive. They strictly maintained order. The people who were imprisoned in the Red Stone Forest were certainly people who had committed crimes that required the death penalty. There were even many foreigners who were wanted criminals in their own countries.
Bao Xun looked at Mo Wen's back. The corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile. This gang had been fighting with him for many years. Because his power was slightly weaker than theirs, he was often suppressed. This time, he had lured Mo Wen here to use him to kill his enemies.
"Who dares to enter the territory of the Tiger Head Gang?"
As expected, Mo Wen had just appeared not far from the iron chain bridge when he was immediately discovered. A stronghold was situated beside the iron chain bridge. Silhouettes moved about on top of it. There were people patrolling at all times. The iron chain bridge was the stronghold's first line of defense. It would definitely be strictly guarded.
Mo Wen ignored the person who had shouted and headed straight for the iron chain bridge.
"You are looking for death."
Someone on top of the stronghold was furious. He flew down and pounced towards Mo Wen.
"You are the one looking for death."
However, before he could catch up to Mo Wen, a loud shout suddenly sounded. Then, another silhouette appeared. The person was extraordinarily fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the person. With a casual slap, he sent the person on top of the stronghold flying.
"Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioner … you are Bao Xun! Oh no, Bao Xun of the White Wolf Gang is here to attack the stronghold. Immediately sound the alarm. "
The person who had been sent flying spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at the person who had just arrived and immediately recognized him as Bao Xun of the White Wolf Gang. The Tiger Head Gang and the White Wolf Gang had been fighting for many years. How could he not recognize the leader of the White Wolf Gang?
As soon as Bao Xun said this, there was immediately chaos in the stronghold. The next moment, an urgent alarm sounded. A Martial Arts Grandmaster attacking was no small matter. (To be continued.)
