As soon as they stepped out of the city, the aura of death enveloped Ye Zichen and the others.
It was very difficult to absorb the godly energy outside the cities of the Immortal World, and it was very difficult to replenish the godly energy released. One could only rely on medicinal pills to replenish it.
However, the situation here was somewhat terrible. Even though he was unwilling, he could only release his divine power to resist the Death Qi.
"The chief steward said that the city lord and the others are in the northwest. We should be going in the right direction. We've been flying for more than two hours, but we still haven't seen them." Jiang Yong frowned.
"Let's try again."
Murong Xue stared intently at her surroundings. Everyone else stood around the flying vessel, keeping watch and searching.
"There's a village below."
Just then, the Golden Flower of the Appearance Association, Dai Xiaoyan, pointed at the bottom of the flying boat and shouted. The others all looked in the direction she was pointing.
"This seems to be the first village we've seen in a long time. Should we go down and take a look?" Luo Zi asked.
"Let's go down and take a look. It doesn't matter if there are people in the village or not. We are here to investigate this matter. Maybe we can find some clues down there."
After hesitating for a while, the leader of the mission team made a decision.
Jiang Yong, the laborer who was piloting the flying boat, also landed the boat when he heard this.
"It's hard to imagine how the tribes around Barren Sands City live."
Xue Mo couldn't help but mutter as she gazed at the boundless desert.
Before reaching the Celestial Being realm, it was very difficult to fly for a long period of time, and stepping on the sand would also consume a lot of stamina. Xue Mo and the others could use flying boats to soar through the air, but these kinds of auxiliary divine artifacts were extremely expensive in the God Realm. Natives couldn't even live in cities, so there was no way they could use such a convenient tool.
"Of course they have their ways of living."
Jiang Yong said indifferently, then narrowed his eyes and looked around.
The villages outside of Barren Sands City all had tents. Of course, no one knew what kind of technology they used to make the tents much sturdier than expected.
Jiang Yong and their stable War God, Pan Sheng, were at the front and back of the group. Luo Zi and Li Hu walked to the left and right of the team.
The rest of them stood in the middle of the group and slowly moved forward to explore.
"So many dead people …"
Chen Guangfa's eyes widened as he looked around vigilantly. His body was clearly the strongest in the group, but his nervous expression showed that he was even more afraid than the beauties from the Appearance Association.
"Wait a moment."
At Ye Zichen's whisper, the entire team stopped.
Then he saw Ye Zichen run up to one of the corpses and run his fingers over it a few times.
The people around him frowned at his actions. There were indeed many dead people here, but no one was willing to touch these corpses along the way. Because the cause of death of these people was unknown, everyone was worried that touching these corpses would make them touch something they shouldn't touch.
"Ye Zichen, don't touch anything. Let's see if there are any survivors or meet up with the city lord and get a better understanding of the situation," said Xue Mo worriedly.
Ye Zichen remained unmoved as he squatted in front of the corpses. This time, not only did he flip the corpses, he even tore off their clothes.
In an instant, the naked body of the dead man appeared before everyone's eyes.
Xue Mo and the two golden flowers of the Appearance Association closed their eyes. Queen Murong, on the other hand, looked the corpse up and down, then shook her head.
It seemed that Her Majesty the Queen was paying attention to what was below the waist and above the legs?
"Brother Ye, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Jiang Yong couldn't quite figure out what Ye Zichen was trying to do, so he couldn't help but ask. Ye Zichen knit his brows. He looked the corpse over, then ran up to the next one and tore off its clothes.
"Step back."
Only then did Ye Zichen stand up in front of the dead man and push his hand backwards.
Everyone else took a few steps back, then saw a demigod artifact appear in Ye Zichen's hand.
"A demigod artifact."
Murong Xue and Jiang Yong couldn't help but arch their brows. Although they had demigod artifacts too, they came from prestigious clans. Their clans had only bestowed them upon them after they'd become sky supremes.
When Ye Zichen first arrived at Skyspan Academy, he'd caused quite a stir.
The two society heads had secretly investigated Ye Zichen's identity and found that he was an ascender.
He'd ascended less than two months ago, yet he already had a demigod artifact. Could it be that Xue Mo had given it to him?
Murong Xue rested her chin on her hand and glanced at Xue Mo.
However, none of that really mattered. A single demigod artifact wasn't enough to pique their curiosity about Ye Zichen. Right now, they were more interested in what he was going to do with it.
Then they saw Ye Zichen, standing in front of the dead man, bow deeply to him.
Sword light flashed.
"Retreat!"
Jiang Yong's pupils constricted. At the same time, Pan Sheng bit down hard on his finger and slammed it into the ground.
Countless spiritual inscriptions instantly appeared in the desert around them. The inscriptions flickered with dazzling blue light.
A formation master.
The number one War God was actually a Spiritual Array Master!
The formation Pan Sheng had created was clearly a defensive one. The inscriptions crisscrossed to form an airtight fortress. Jiang Yong instantly appeared in front of Ye Zichen, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him into the formation.
"Not bad, Jiang Yong. Your society managed to recruit a formation master."
Murong Xue crossed her arms and chuckled, but there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Formation masters were the rarest of talents in the God Realm. There were even fewer of them than pill refiners. Roughly one in ten million appeared.
Any Spirit Array Master was a target that all the major forces would fight over, and their status was quite high in the God Realm.
Yet the Aspiring Society had a formation master helping them? It was normal for Murong Xue to be a little jealous.
"Luck."
Jiang Yong replied calmly, but his gaze remained fixed on the corpse Ye Zichen had cut off.
"What's that …."
The corpse's severed arm spurted out a pure-black blood that was extremely corrosive. It corroded the desert's golden sands black, and when it splashed onto the ground, a purplish-black aura spread outwards.
"That's not death qi! Death qi should be grayish-red!" shouted Li Hu.
"Brother Ye, did you discover something?" asked Jiang Yong.
Ye Zichen had inexplicably walked up to the corpses, stripped them naked, then chopped off their arms with his sword. Everything he'd done was very strange. It was clear that he'd sensed something the others hadn't.
