Zhu Yao frowned, and gave up on chasing. Instead, she landed on the ground and walked towards the source of the stench.
Although Wu Song was a little confused, he could guess that something had happened. He did not ask, and simply followed closely behind her.
Suddenly, as though he had seen something, he called out. "Sovereign!"
Wu Song pointed to the ground in front of him, where half an arm was stained with blood.
Naturally, Zhu Yao had discovered it long ago. However, the place where the arm was severed was very clean, and there was no blood at all.
This was not a severed arm.
Zhu Yao cast an art, drew out a ray of light, and charged forward. Suddenly, the air shook like the surface of water, and then, like a curtain being lifted, it opened up to the two sides. Behind the curtain, however, was another world. A mountain peak was currently floating in the middle of the clouds, as though it was a divine realm.
This was a Great Mountain Barrier Formation. However, this Great Mountain Barrier Formation was a little low-end, as it could only conceal the divine mountain. Compared to Ancient Hill Sect's Absolute Defense Formation, it was simply weak. Zhu Yao silently gave her master a thumbs up.
After the formation opened, the place where the arm was severed revealed a person. That person was no longer breathing, and his eyes were bulging, as though he had seen something terrifying. Zhu Yao sent her divine sense over, and realized that the person was actually an Azoth practitioner, though his Azoth Core was already shattered.
Since this Mountain Barrier Formation was so casual, it must be a second-rate Sect. And, it seemed like something big had happened.
Zhu Yao frowned, summoned her own flying sword, pulled Wu Song up, and flew towards the Main Mountain. "Let's go!"
Wu Song was a little frightened, yet, he did not make any sound. He knew that something big had happened, and quietly followed Zhu Yao.
The closer they got to the mountain peak, the thicker the stench of blood became. It had already reached a suffocating point. Earlier, her divine sense had already swept over here, and she was mentally prepared. However, when she personally saw the scene, she was still stunned.
The entire mountain peak was filled with the corpses of deity disciples. Some of them had their chests pierced through, while some of them were directly sliced into two. On the ground, there were countless severed limbs that belonged to others, scattered all over the place.
This scene was simply too cruel. Zhu Yao could only cover Wu Song's eyes at the side, as even she could not bear to continue watching.
"Close your eyes. If I don't, you're not allowed to open them. "
Wu Song was stunned for a moment, and then silently nodded.
Just what kind of grudge did that heretic practitioner have with this second-rate sect, to the point that he wanted to exterminate their entire sect? He carefully examined it. He discovered that there was still a faint aura in the rear hall.
She immediately flew over on her sword.
However, he was stunned by the even more terrifying scene behind him. It was a pit that had been smashed out temporarily, but there were countless corpses piled up in the pit, and not a single one of them was intact. The blood that flowed out filled the entire pit.
This was like a feast of slaughter, and it was so cruel that it made one's hair stand on end. Zhu Yao could not help but feel a surge of anger.
"Save … save me …" One of them was covered in blood. A person who could no longer be seen crawled out of the bloody pit, but only half of his body remained.
Zhu Yao walked over, suppressing the sourness in the depths of her heart. She transferred some spiritual energy to him. "How are you?"
Although she said that, she knew that he could not hold on any longer. Not to mention that he only had half a body left, his Golden Core had already been shattered and his cultivation destroyed. It was already a miracle that he could hold on until now and still have a breath left.
"Save … Save the children." That person used all his strength to tug on the corner of her clothes. He handed over a jade tablet. "Back … cave."
After saying that, he fell down. He had completely lost all signs of life.
Zhu Yao sighed. She looked at the jade tablet that was still dyed with blood in her hands. This should be a mystic artifact used to open some sort of formation. Earlier, he said, back cave? Could it be that there were still people alive?
She immediately stood up and walked towards the back. After investigating, she realized that there was indeed a cave residence at the back of the mountain.
However, the door was tightly shut, and there was a gigantic sealing formation on it. This was a Life Origin Formation that even a Nascent Soul practitioner could not break with his full strength. A so-called Life Origin Formation was a formation that could only be set up by someone using their blood as a sacrifice, or using their life to replace the formation. Hence, this formation could not be broken from the outside, nor could it be destroyed from the inside. Furthermore, it could conceal the aura within the formation.
Hence, when she sent her divine sense over earlier, there were no signs of anyone here.
However, this formation was actually exposed to the outside just like that. Someone must have discovered it, but no one dared to break the formation and enter.
Zhu Yao frowned. This formation could not be entered, nor could it be exited. If she did not come today, wouldn't the person inside be trapped to death inside?
Zhu Yao took two steps forward. Just as she was about to break this formation, she suddenly realized there was another formation's ripple at the side.
Eh? Zhu Yao inspected it, and realized it was actually a teleportation formation. And it was a forceful teleportation formation? Zhu Yao suddenly had a bad premonition. However, this formation was set up very ingeniously, and it could not be forcefully broken. Furthermore, the condition to activate it, was actually when the previous formation had failed.
Zhu Yao was a little troubled. However, she had to save the person inside, otherwise, they would be trapped to death inside. Furthermore, the heretic practitioners had annihilated a deity sect on such a large scale, which could be considered as a public challenge to deity practitioners. As the number one deity sect, Ancient Hill Sect could not just sit and watch. She might even be able to find some clues from this formation that was intentionally added.
Zhu Yao made her decision. She had Wu Song stand a little further away, before she made her move to break the formation. Life Origin Formations actually had a fatal weakness. This was something she read from the introduction book her master left behind. The Life Origin Formation used the Life Soul of the person who was sacrificed as the formation core. As long as the Life Soul was no longer present, the formation would naturally be broken.
Hence, what she had to do was very simple. She just had to purge that dead soul. Zhu Yao cast a few hand seals, broke the formation core, and then, the Sanskrit Voice of Rebirth sounded out. A moment later, a soul dressed in blue appeared from the formation core. He was wearing the same school uniform that the dead disciples wore. His initial vicious aura, under Zhu Yao's Sanskrit voice, slowly calmed down, and he returned to the appearance of a youth.
"You?" That soul was a little doubtful, as though he had recognized that she was not a heretic practitioner.
"Ancient Hill Sect." Zhu Yao simply said these three words.
Only then did a relieved smile appear on the face of that soul, and then, it slowly dissipated.
This was Zhu Yao's first time purging a dead soul, and fortunately, she succeeded. Following the disappearance of that dead soul, that formation naturally lost its effect. Zhu Yao took a step back, and returned to Wu Song's side. Realizing that he was still obediently closing his eyes, she was finally at ease.
Then, she stared at the hidden formation. As expected, that formation was activated. It emitted out a huge red light, and it was growing larger.
Suddenly, a loud roar resounded through the clouds, and a sixth-ranked demonic beast flew out from within. It looked like a horse, but its four hooves were emitting flames, and it had wings on its back. Its head was like that of a leopard, and it had a mouth full of ferocious sharp teeth.
So it was just a teleportation formation for demonic beasts. Zhu Yao was a little disappointed.
Wu Song, however, was frightened by that roar. His little body trembled, and he took a step closer to her. However, he still firmly remembered her words, and did not open his eyes.
Not bad, he's an obedient child. Zhu Yao nodded satisfactorily, and pulled him a little closer into her embrace.
After that formation teleported a sixth-ranked demonic beast, it seemed as though it could not stop. One after another, demonic beasts ran out from within, as though it had triggered a beast tide. Sixth-ranked, seventh-ranked, and even eighth-ranked demonic beasts.
"Sesame!"
Roar ~ ~ | `o ′ | | Roar ~ ~
Sesame immediately jumped out, and looked at the demonic beasts that were scuttling out like fleas with a scornful gaze. It then turned to look at Zhu Yao resentfully.
"Mistress, my tail isn't healed yet." It had no energy, and did not want to move.
Zhu Yao's expression sank. "I don't mind letting you come a few more times, uncle!"
"Don't!" Sesame immediately became obedient. It did not know what uncle was, but it remembered the pain from back then. It was afraid of pain. With a swing of its tail, it slapped away a seventh-ranked demonic beast, and said with a fawning tone. "Mistress, actually, these demonic beasts are just too weak, so they can't recognize you. As long as you release your aura, they will immediately listen to you. "
What did it mean?
Zhu Yao did not understand, but she felt that there were hints in its words. Hence, she sent a voice transmission over.
Sesame immediately sent a voice transmission over. "Mistress, have you forgotten? You're a dragon. As long as you release your dragon's might, they will immediately become obedient. "
Zhu Yao suspiciously glanced at it. Closing her eyes, she instantly released her aura. This was not pressure, but she could faintly feel the aura that had always existed in her Dantian being released.
As expected, not even a moment later, the demonic beasts that were still ferocious earlier, suddenly stopped. All of them looked at her while trembling. She did not know which one of them started it, but one after another, they crawled towards her, looking as though they were truly obedient.
The hell, it's so effective.
Did she manage to draw such an incredible body this time?
"Mistress ~ ~" Sesame came over with a small trembling voice. It turned into a size that did not even reach her waist, and rubbed against her leg with an intoxicated look. "Mistress, you're so mighty. Sesame wants to be your little beastie for the rest of your life, so please don't hold back and ravage me." That look, where was the majesty of a tenth-ranked demonic beast?
"Scram!" Zhu Yao kicked it away, and walked towards the cave residence earlier. Why was this Sesame getting more and more shameless?
"Mistress ~ ~" Sesame followed after her reluctantly, and looked at her thighs with teary eyes. It really ~ really wanted to hug it.
It had no choice either. The dragon race had an innate deterrence towards demonic beasts. That was an inheritance that was carved into its bones, and it could not help but want to get closer to them.
