Dark night, mountains, dense forest.
Du Shaofu only felt the Profound Qi in his body stagnate and his body being restrained. Faintly, he seemed to be able to sense a familiar aura.
He did not know how much time had passed. It might have been two hours or even longer.
When the restraining force on his body dissipated, Du Shaofu's body fell on a mountain peak. Under the cover of night, he could faintly see the surrounding mountains. He should be extremely far away from his original location.
"Kid, there's a cause and an effect. You've planted a cause, so I'll give you an effect. Not long after, there will be a fortune that many people are willing to conceal their identities and wait for dozens of years. As for whether you have the opportunity to obtain it, it will depend on your luck."
An aged and gentle voice rang out. High up in the sky, an aged figure swept across the sky.
"Senior, who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
Du Shaofu stood up and raised his head to look at the aged figure. His eyes were filled with unbearable shock. From the voice just now, Du Shaofu knew that the expert who brought him here was the expert who had crushed the Martial King Old Man Yin Ming to death.
To be able to pinch a Martial King expert to death with a wave of his hand, how terrifyingly powerful was his cultivation?
Why did such an expert bring him here? Du Shaofu's heart was filled with doubts.
"Many years ago, someone started to call me Grandma Silver Flower. If you had stayed there, I'm afraid that it would have been difficult for you to escape today. I don't want to interfere too much in the matters of the Dark Forest. Furthermore, I brought you here to give you an effect. Take care of yourself."
As the aged and gentle voice rang out, she completely disappeared in the sky.
Du Shaofu stood alone on the mountain peak. He was still at a loss and was unable to recover his senses.
He had personally witnessed the Martial King Old Man Yin Ming being crushed with a raise of his hand. The impact on Du Shaofu was extremely great. That was a true expert.
"Is what Granny Silver Flower said true? There will be an opportunity of fortune here."
Du Shaofu murmured after a while. His strength was still too weak. If there really was an opportunity here, he might be able to obtain a lot of benefits.
Although he was doubtful, Du Shaofu believed in Grandma Silver Flower. If Grandma Silver Flower wanted to harm him, with her strength that could crush even a Martial King to death, he was no match for her at all. There was no need for her to beat around the bush to deal with him.
Du Shaofu was also worried about the safety of Ouyang Shuang, the King Scaled Demonic Tiger, and the rest of Tianwu Academy.
However, when Du Shaofu thought about how Old Man Yinming was dead, the gray-robed man and the others had been reduced to smithereens, and he had been taken away by Grandma Silver Flower, there was no need for the Black Fiend Sect, Myriad Cloud Pavilion, and Twin-Hatred Sect to deal with the Tianwu Academy students. Furthermore, they wouldn't dare to touch the Tianwu Academy students recklessly. Thus, Du Shaofu was relieved.
"I'll wait a few days before returning to the academy. By then, the journey will be safer."
After pondering for a moment, Du Shaofu made up his mind. Grandma Silver Flower said that an opportunity would appear in the vicinity soon. He would know about it after a few days. Furthermore, he reckoned that the Dark Forest wouldn't be peaceful. If he were to return to the academy now, he might encounter an expert along the way. If that were to happen, he would still be in trouble. The gains wouldn't make up for the losses. It was better to wait a few days before returning.
"That person is so powerful. She's too powerful."
Suddenly, Du Xiaoyao's voice sounded from Du Shaofu's chest. Then, a faint golden light spread out and Du Xiaoyao's macaque figure appeared. Her faint golden spirit eyes were glowing. She had also sensed the terrifying aura of Grandma Silver Flower.
"She is very powerful. I must reach that level as soon as possible. Only then will I be a true expert!" Du Shaofu murmured softly.
Dawn quietly caught up with the night. A dusky ray of light pierced through the hazy brown sky. Above the firmament, a dusky mist lingered in the distance. Then, the sky gradually brightened.
In the eastern sky, there was a red light shooting out. It seemed that the weather today was pretty good.
In the Dark Forest, the news of a Martial King expert being crushed to death by an even stronger expert immediately spread out. The news was like a bomb that spread throughout the Dark City and the Dark Forest.
For many people, a Martial King Realm expert was already an expert that existed only in legends.
If a Martial King expert was placed in an empire, they would be an existence that controlled a region. They would be a true authority.
Yet, a Martial King expert was crushed with a wave of his hand. How shocking was that?
Just how terrifyingly powerful was the one who did it?!
As various news spread out, Grandma Silver Flower's name was also crazily spread.
In the Dark Forest, ordinary people had never heard of Grandma Silver Flower's existence. However, when some of the old people heard it, they were pleasantly surprised. Some even had reverence in their eyes.
"What's the background of Grandma Silver Flower? Since when did such a terrifying expert exist in the Dark Forest?"
"It's said that Grandma Silver Flower has been in the Dark Forest for an unknown period of time. Over a hundred years ago, there were many empires that worked together to take control of the Dark Forest. At the final juncture, the mysterious Grandma Silver Flower appeared and killed the commanders of those empires. Ever since then, the surrounding empires no longer dared to touch the Dark Forest!"
"That's not all. It's said that many major sects also wanted to touch the Dark Forest. However, the experts they sent were all killed by Grandma Silver Flower without exception."
"Grandma Silver Flower is the guardian of the Dark Forest!"
"Those young Tianwu Academy students from last night were all terrifying. As expected of someone from the Tianwu Academy!"
"It's said that the experts of the One Pavilion, One Castle, and Two Sects appeared yesterday. Such a scene is rare to see!"
"..."
The tea stall in the alley opposite the Mu Family's Trading Company was exceptionally busy this morning. Many people returned from the Dark Forest early in the morning. They sat at the tea stall and discussed the matter from last night.
As more and more people discussed the matter, the business of the small tea stall became better and better.
"Grandma, today's business is really good."
The little boy at the tea stall busied himself happily. After earning some money, he would be able to buy new clothes for his grandma.
"When I'm free later, I'll let you buy some sweets today."
The hobbling grandma looked at the smile on the little boy's face with a kind face. Her eyes were filled with benevolence and satisfaction.
Opposite the alley, behind the Mu Family's Trading Company, there was a huge courtyard. In a quiet hall, Mu Mingqing stood with his hands behind his back. Astonishment and surprise could be seen on his face.
"Father, who is Grandma Silver Flower?" In the hall, Mu Zhenghao asked his father.
"Hu!"
Mu Mingqing turned around and took a deep breath. He said to Mu Zhenghao, "Grandma Silver Flower is the guardian of the Dark Forest. She has protected the Dark Forest for countless years. Ever since I entered the Dark Forest, I have heard of Grandma Silver Flower's existence. The surrounding empires and major sects are all eyeing the Dark Forest covetously. Outsiders think that they are afraid of the strength of the One Pavilion, One Fort, and Two Sects, so they don't dare to enter the Dark Forest easily.
Actually, the real reason is Grandma Silver Flower's existence. As long as Grandma Silver Flower exists, they won't dare to come in and act presumptuously.
This time, the Dark Nether Sect's people came in because they didn't expect Grandma Silver Flower to still be alive. If they knew Grandma Silver Flower would interfere, they wouldn't have dared to come. "
In a vast hall in Dark City, Xue Tianchou sat upright with a gloomy expression on his face. He said to Xue Yunming beside him, "Grandma Silver Flower is too strong. Although she never interferes with the internal affairs of the Dark Forest, it is because of her that the One Pavilion, One Fort, and Two Sects didn't dare to act recklessly all these years. They maintained the peace on the surface."
"Father, why did Grandma Silver Flower take Du Shaofu away?!"
Xue Yunming's eyes were gloomy as he watched the purple-robed youth disappear before his eyes. He couldn't take revenge for both the new and old grudges. His heart was filled with displeasure. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"I don't know the reason. However, no matter what, based on Grandma Silver Flower's character of not interfering with the internal affairs of the Dark Forest, Du Shaofu is most likely still in the Dark Forest. Pass down the order. We must find that brat. Regardless of whether it is the treasure or the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine, we must find him," Xue Tianchou said coldly.
...
Time passed slowly. The news of the Martial King Realm expert being killed in the Dark Forest and Grandma Silver Flower's appearance spread like wildfire. A few days later, the surrounding forces were shocked and fearful.
Among the mountains, rivers surged and meandered. The mountains on both sides of the river were dark green.
Mountains rose from the ground. The cliffs were steep, and the trees were lush, covering many buildings.
Looking from afar, the mountains were densely packed with buildings. They looked ancient and majestic.
"I heard that Du Shaofu, together with the general, Gu Xinyan, Gui Wa, and the others, entered the Dark City to snatch the Mystical Heavenly-Reaching Vine from our Tianwu Academy. In the end, they attracted countless experts and killed many of them in a bloody battle, causing their name to spread across the Dark Forest!"
"It's a pity that they didn't manage to capture Gui Wa. However, it's said that the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine is already in Du Shaofu's hands. However, Du Shaofu was taken away by a powerful expert. His whereabouts are unknown!"
"That powerful expert seems to be called Grandma Silver Flower. She can easily kill Martial Kings. She's too terrifying!"
"Regardless, the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine did not fall into the hands of others."
"This time, the general, Gu Xinyan, and Gui Wa made a move. They have shown the might of our Tianwu Academy."
"It's a pity that Fire Blade Beiming Feng has fallen!"
"..."
Discussions broke out in the Tianwu Academy. Some were sighing, some were shocked, and some were furious and sorrowful.
The mountain range was filled with verdant greenery.
At the peak of the mountain, there were a few strands of milky white mist. Occasionally, the cries of birds and the roars of beasts could be heard.
In a natural cave, a faint golden radiance slowly receded and a purple-robed young man appeared.
"Chi chi!"
Under the purple-robed young man's eyebrows, his eyelashes twitched slightly. His tightly shut eyes slowly opened and two faint golden radiances shot out from the depths of his eyes. They were like golden lightning.
"Boom!"
An ancient aura swept out from the purple-robed young man's skinny body, causing the entire cave to tremble.
"Hu!"
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, the faint golden radiance in Du Shaofu's eyes receded. His gaze gradually became clear and a faint smile appeared on his resolute face.
