Gu Han had already passed away, and the Nine Serenities And Fourteen Masters had suddenly gone crazy, hiding in the Pillar of Heavens Mountains and refusing to come out …
Doesn't that mean that I'm the only one facing Zhan Kuang?
Even the three of us working together couldn't kill him. Now that I'm alone, can I succeed?
As they walked forward, they saw that the front army had already come into contact with the newly discovered village, but for some reason, they suddenly stopped. Following that, there were people riding their horses towards them, galloping extremely quickly. It was as if they had discovered something, or met with some sort of unforeseen event …
Jun Moxie and Mei Xueyan looked at each other in confusion. They hadn't come into contact with the outside world for a long time, so it was a joyous occasion to discover signs of human habitation, but it might not necessarily be something rare. For the army to suddenly stop when they were advancing, there must be some sort of unforeseen event. But facing the allied forces of Tian Fa and the Evil Monarch Manor, an army of over a hundred thousand Venerables and above, how could they have met with robbers?
If there were really robbers … that would be too much of a joke!
Or perhaps this world was simply too crazy? To think that there were some blind thieves who dared to intercept the strongest army in the continent! Even the Nine Serenities And Fourteen Masters wouldn't be able to intercept such an army by themselves. En, perhaps only the Nine Nether First Young Master would be able to do so!
Not long later, they arrived before them.
"Manor Lord, there's an extremely strange situation in the village ahead. The hundred-odd people in the village have all been confirmed dead, and the cause of their deaths is identical. All of them have been turned into dried corpses!" That guard's forehead was full of sweat. Clearly, this unexpected and strange situation had caused him to be extremely terrified!
Dried corpses?
Jun Moxie furrowed his brows and instantly thought of Zhan Kuang!
Zhan Kuang, who had lost his physical body, was far weaker than the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master. In fact, he was even slightly weaker than Gu Han. But that strange regenerative ability of his, as well as the ability to absorb the life essence of living beings, was enough to cause a terrifying impact. If it really was …
Thinking of this, Jun Moxie shook his arms and flew off the horse. Mei Xueyan heard that something was wrong and followed closely behind. The two of them flew across the sky like meteors and arrived at the small village in the blink of an eye. Looking around, the two of them were furious!
This was undoubtedly an extremely small village, and there were at most twenty to thirty families in it.
However, there was no longer any sign of life in the village.
Corpses were strewn all over the place in their own courtyards or on the small paths in the village …
Jun Moxie, who was looking down at the ground from midair, had a thought. He landed on the ground with a whoosh and flipped over a corpse in front of him. He could not help but narrow his eyes. This corpse was completely dried up, without a single drop of water.
According to the knowledge that Jun Moxie had learned in his previous life, 70% of the human body was made up of water. However, the corpse in front of him was two-thirds smaller than a living person. It was like a mummy! It was truly a dried corpse!
When he looked at the other corpses, they were all in the same situation!
Whether it was the elderly, the children, or the young adults! Everyone had died the same way. Although the muscles on their faces were dried up, they looked very peaceful. It was as if they had not seen anything and were in a deep sleep!
"What a cruel method of murder! Even a child was not spared! "Mei Xueyan looked at the corpse of a little girl on the ground and gritted her teeth.
"Judging from the decay of the corpse, it should have happened half a month ago or even earlier. Because the corpse was extremely dehydrated, it was already in a state of weathering. Fortunately, the water had completely evaporated, or else it might not have survived until we arrived. " Jun Moxie straightened his body slowly, his expression solemn. "Without a doubt, it is him! Only Zhan Kuang would have the means to do such a deranged thing! "
The essence of these people's flesh and blood had been completely devoured, but if one were to look at their bodies from the outside, they would not be able to see any wounds. Thinking back to how the Nine Serenities And Fourteen Masters described how Zhan Kuang had devoured the corpses of wild beasts, Jun Moxie did not even need to think before coming to a conclusion!
"Zhan Kuang? It's him? How can it be, isn't he … "Mei Xueyan's eyes widened in disbelief!
"It's that Zhan Lun Hui that we had beaten into the volcano!" Jun Mo Xie sighed deeply, a look of worry in his eyes. "He originally had an indestructible body, and now that he's consumed so much blood and flesh … it's likely that he'll be even more difficult to deal with than before …"
"We must deal with him even if he's hard to deal with. No matter what price we have to pay, we must not allow such a demon to live in this world!" Mei Xueyan said hatefully. "We must destroy him completely and return peace to this world!"
"Of course." Jun Mo Xie smiled and waved his hand, ordering his subordinates to bury the corpses properly so that they could rest in peace.
The army resumed their march, and along the way, there were many alarming reports.
Along the way, there were more than fifty villages that had turned into a living hell! Be it humans or beasts, all of them had turned into dried corpses! The total number of people had reached a terrifying seven thousand!
And this was just the number of people. If the beasts were included, it would be close to twenty thousand!
The rage in Jun Moxie's eyes burned brighter and brighter!
Zhan Kuang, how can you be so heartless and deranged?!
If you were only killing Xuan cultivators, even if your methods were a little cruel, it would still be forgivable. Because their existence was a threat to you. But the people you're killing now are all innocent and defenseless commoners!
And the only reason Zhan Kuang acted was to plunder large amounts of life essence to repair his body and increase his strength!
Such a deranged and vile crime could not be forgiven!
Zhan Kuang, even if he died ten thousand times, he would not be able to forgive his crime!
The army gradually advanced into the Tian Nan Region. This area was already quite densely populated, but they still discovered several large scale massacres here! Over five thousand commoners had died tragically!
Along the way, Jun Moxie and the others grew angrier and angrier. At this point, their accumulated anger had already reached a boiling point!
Fortunately, there were no more such tragedies as they advanced.
Jun Moxie had spread out his divine sense the entire way, and at night, he even searched for traces of Zhan Kuang. But he did not find any traces at all. This situation caused Jun Moxie's brows to furrow even tighter …
The earlier they killed this beast, the more beneficial it would be to the world. The moment they delayed, the danger they would cause would not be any less than the invasion of the strange races!
It had only been a few dozen days since the great battle with Zhan Kuang, but over thirty thousand people had already died. What kind of cruel and terrifying method was this! This beast's cruelty could be said to be unprecedented!
After a long and arduous journey of nearly a month, the army finally returned to the Tian Nan Base!
Dugu Xiaoyi, Guan Qing Han, and the rest were naturally waiting anxiously. When they saw that Jun Moxie and the rest had returned, they were overjoyed and came out to welcome them.
But when they saw that Jun Moxie's expression was unprecedentedly ugly, they couldn't help but feel strange. The strange races had all been wiped out, and the three Holy Lands had also fallen in this battle. What else could make him so depressed?
After listening to Mei Xue Yan's explanation of the mummified corpses on the way back, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Although the girls' strength was outstanding and had already squeezed into the ranks of the peak experts at that time, their actual experience and combat strength were very shallow. When they heard such an inconceivable and terrifying matter, they couldn't help but feel terrified.
With an ugly expression, Jun Moxie ordered all the flying Xuan Beasts to be on standby. The moment there was any relevant news, they were to report it immediately. He also informed the secular world about Zhan Kuang's whereabouts. The next step was to patiently wait for news.
At the same time, he cultivated as much as he could. Jun Moxie had a premonition that this time, dealing with Zhan Kuang, would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult battle! If he couldn't be fully prepared, he might very well be the one to suffer when the time came!
When Miao Xiao Miao heard about this matter, she, who was born in the Misty Mansion, was deeply worried. She was afraid that Zhan Kuang would enter the Misty Mansion and wreak havoc. According to Jun Moxie's description, with Zhan Kuang's current strength, no one in the entire Misty Mansion would be able to match him!
Although Jun Moxie had the same thoughts in his heart, he had no choice but to comfort Miao Xiao Miao. No matter how deranged and heartless Zhan Kuang was, he still had to think for his descendants. Rashly clashing with the Misty Illusory Manor was definitely not his original intention, nor was it the best choice …
Miao Xiao Miao was slightly relieved, but she still felt like a year.
Don't look at how Jun Dashao comforted Miao Xiao Miao, Jun Moxie's heart was actually even heavier than before.
He was already certain that the reason why the Misty Mansion did not send anyone to participate in the War for Seizing the Heavens was definitely related to Zhan Kuang. The Misty Mansion's silence meant that something big must have happened!
Otherwise, whether it was because of their friendship with the three Holy Lands, or because of their alliance with him, the Misty Mansion would definitely make a move!
But there was still a huge question in Jun Moxie's heart.
Others might not know, but he did. Although there was no one in the Misty Mansion that could compare to Zhan Kuang, the Miao Family did have a super expert. The Nine Nether First Young Master's only personal disciple, and also Zhan Kuang's teacher — Miao Qingcheng!
Miao Qingcheng was definitely a super expert that was countless times stronger than Zhan Kuang, and he was the only True Saint expert in the world. Even if his strength had been greatly reduced due to various reasons, he shouldn't have allowed Zhan Kuang to do as he pleased, right? But if that was really the case, how could the Misty Mansion's inaction be explained?
Day after day passed, but there was no news at all …
On this day, Qiao Ying, who had yet to walk out of her sorrow, suddenly came to look for Jun Moxie.
Ever since she returned from the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, Qiao Ying had been silent and did not speak a single word. As a daughter of the pugilistic world, although she would not go so far as to wash her face with tears because of her sorrow, her silence still caused one's heart to sink.
"Looking for me? What's the matter? " Jun Moxie had been staying in the Hongjun Pagoda for a long time, silently cultivating and preparing to break through to the eighth level of the Hongjun Pagoda. When he heard that Qiao Ying had come and wanted to see him, he immediately ended his cultivation and came out.
