Three months later, in a remote valley in the Hundred Centipede Mountain Range, the sound of explosions rang out incessantly.
On one side were seven or eight red centipedes each, while on the other side were a dozen or so uniformed cultivators, ranging from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment.
The dozen or so cultivators worked together to form a green barrier, blocking the attacks of the red centipedes.
The red centipedes either spat out red poisonous mist or huge fireballs the size of water tanks. They struck the green barrier, causing it to shake incessantly.
The glowing magical weapons landed on the red centipedes' bodies, but only left a few faint white marks on their tough backs.
"Senior Martial Brother Chen, hurry up and think of a way! If this continues, I'm afraid we'll all die here. "A young man with ordinary features asked, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Junior Martial Brother Li, you and Junior Martial Sister Zhou use the Earth Escape Technique to take Martial Nephew Liu and the others away. Junior Martial Brother Qian and I will bring up the rear." A middle-aged man with a terrifying scar on his face ordered.
"No, these are seven fourth grade Blazing Fire Centipedes. If we leave, Senior Martial Brother Chen and the others won't be able to stop them." A young woman shook her head.
"If you don't leave, you'll all die here. Listen to me, hurry up and leave." The middle-aged man ordered.
"I don't think there's any need to leave. All of you stay!" At this moment, a lazy male voice sounded from the horizon.
As soon as the voice fell, a black light descended from the sky and landed in the valley. The black light was a black-clothed man. It was Wang Changsheng.
"Not good, a Core Formation cultivator. Hurry up and leave." The middle-aged man's expression changed greatly.
"You want to leave? Do you think I'm transparent? "A hint of mockery appeared at the corners of Immortal Wang's lips as he sneered.
With a wave of his sleeve, two streaks of blue light flashed out, striking the green light barrier like lightning.
The blue lights were extremely fast and arrived in front of the green barrier after two flashes.
With a bang, the green barrier shattered and a dozen or so screams sounded one after another.
The middle-aged man and the others didn't even have a chance to resist. They all fell into a pool of blood, filling the air with a thick smell of blood.
At this moment, the red centipedes also realized that something was wrong. They hurriedly fled in different directions.
Immortal Wang pointed a finger forward, and two streaks of blue light quickly shot toward the crimson centipede.
"Poof! Poof!" Seven to eight red centipedes were cut into several pieces before they could escape far, falling into a pool of blood.
Immortal Wang's sleeves shook. The two streaks of blue light circled around and flew back into his sleeves.
A red light flew out from the corpse bag at Wang Changsheng's waist and landed beside the corpse on the ground. It was Ye Mingyue.
Ye Mingyue opened her mouth, and green balls of light the size of chicken eggs flew out from the corpses and quickly entered her mouth.
Wang Changsheng took out the Blood Storage Bottle and collected the essence blood of these cultivators. After taking a dozen storage pouches and a few Level Four Yao Cores from Ye Mingyue, he transformed into a streak of black light and flew away.
… ….
Four months later, in a hidden cave near the Black Dragon Pool, there were explosive sounds from time to time. It seemed that someone was fighting.
A streak of black light flew in from a distance and landed at the entrance of the cave.
The black light faded, and the figure of a man in black clothes was revealed.
The man in black patted the leather pouches at his waist, and four streaks of black light and one streak of red light flew out from the leather pouches. They turned into two black bats, two pale faced zombies with exposed fangs, and a woman in red clothes.
"Go! Enjoy your food! "The man in black clothes pointed at the cave and ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two black bats spread their wings and quickly flew into the cave.
The two zombies kicked their legs and jumped a few meters away, quickly jumping into the cave.
The woman in red clothes swayed and disappeared into the stone wall.
Not long after, there was a burst of screams from the cave.
After a quarter of an hour, there was a burst of chirping sounds, and two black bats flew out of the cave. They turned into two streaks of black light and disappeared into the leather pouches at the waist of the man in black clothes.
Not long after, the two zombies jumped out, and there was still some blood at the corner of their mouths.
The man in black clothes patted one of the leather pouches at his waist, and a streak of black light shot out from it, sweeping the two zombies back into the leather pouches.
"Master." The woman in red clothes came out from the stone wall, holding a dozen storage pouches in her hands.
The man in black clothes took the storage pouches and casually put them into his arms. The woman in red clothes turned into a streak of red light and disappeared into one of the leather pouches.
The man in black clothes stomped on the ground, turned into a streak of black light, and flew away.
… ….
Half a year later, a dozen Ten Thousand Poisons Sect disciples entered the Black Dragon Mountain Range and never came out.
Along with the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect disciples, there were also dozens of loose cultivators who went missing.
Seven months later, a dozen cultivators from the Longyuan Family Chen entered the Yin Mist Valley, and their whereabouts were unknown. The Family Chen sent out a large number of people to search for them, but to no avail.
Nine months later, a group of Poison Sect disciples went missing on the way back to the sect. The Poison Sect sent out a large number of people to search for them, but to no avail.
Ten months later, Daoist Tianhua sent out a large number of people to Mount Tianhua to search for his missing disciples, but to no avail.
One year later, the only son of the Black Flame Mountain's Zhao Family went missing on the way back to his family. Along with him, a dozen Zhao Family disciples also went missing.
In the short span of one year, news of people going missing mysteriously came from all over the Southern Border from time to time. The least was a few, and the most was a few dozens.
These missing people were mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators, and their origins were very different. Some were loose cultivators, some were disciples of cultivation families, and some were disciples of sects. However, without exception, these missing people seemed to have evaporated into thin air, and even their corpses could not be found.
Some said that the missing people were killed by Demonic Beasts, some said that they were killed by vengeful Demonic Beasts, some said that they were killed by vengeful Demonic Beasts, some even said that they were captured by high level Cultivators to cultivate. All kinds of rumors quickly spread among the low level Cultivators.
According to the rumors, as long as one entered deep into the mountains and forests, there was an 80% to 90% chance that they would be killed. This caused the majority of low level cultivators to not dare to enter deep into the mountains and forests to hunt demonic beasts and harvest spiritual herbs, which seriously affected the development of the local cultivation world.
Of course, this matter could not be hidden from the various large cultivation sects and clans of the Southern Border. They sent out a large number of people to investigate openly and secretly in an attempt to find the culprit behind the scenes. Other than catching a few evil cultivators, they did not gain much.
Not catching the culprit after so long, the various large sects and clans lost face. Thus, they used these evil cultivators as scapegoats. On the surface, they claimed that these evil cultivators were the culprit, but secretly sent out elite disciples to continue investigating.
