"Don't run! Surnamed Miao, you can't get away! Stop right there! "
Three young men, with long sabers in their hands, ran all the way through the pitch-black, abnormally strange mountain range. From time to time, they would brandish their sabers to threaten the people running in front of them to stop.
Threatening was useless. The people in front did not stop, and instead ran even faster.
The young man with the butcher's knife in his hand did not listen to the warning at all. As he ran, he turned his head back and roared, "Mad dog, why don't you take a look at where you are? You're sick in the head!"
It would be strange if he could stop. If he did, he might lose his life. As he continued to run, cracking sounds could be heard under his feet. Wherever he stepped, the black grass would turn into flying ash.
All around him, the grass was black, the trees were black, and all the plants were black.
They were not dyed black, nor were they naturally black. They had all been carbonized into black. How it was a hundred thousand years ago, it would still be the same after a hundred thousand years. Time seemed to have stopped here. All the plants were like lifelike black sculptures, shrouded in the white fog.
This place that resembled the netherworld was called the Boundless Secular World. Legend had it that a hundred thousand years ago, a hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals traversed the vast starry sky to pursue a great demon to this place. Unfortunately, the great demon was too powerful, so the hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals laid down this ultimate killing formation and perished together with the great demon.
For a hundred thousand years, the white fog before them was a treacherous and terrifying blood red color most of the time. The terrifying blood fog seemed to be able to devour everything. Be it humans, ghosts, or gods, none dared to take a step into this place, causing all living beings to stop in their tracks.
However, every thousand years, this ultimate killing formation would make an exception. When the blood fog turned into white fog, ordinary mortals would be able to enter and take a look at its mysteries. However, demons, ghosts, and other living beings would still be unable to enter. Otherwise, they would be turned into a puddle of black water by this strange fog. It seemed that no matter how strong a cultivator was, they would not be able to resist the corrosion of this fog. It was extremely strange, and no one could figure out the reason.
However, this was the final resting place of the immortal and devil. One could imagine that the things that the immortal and devil brought along with them would also be buried here. Who knew how many cultivators coveted this place? At the same time, this place was also rich in a type of immortal herb called 'Glorious Star'. It was a sacred healing medicine that cultivators regarded as a precious treasure.
Every time the Boundless Secular World opened once every thousand years, it was the time when the cultivators were ready to make a move. Unfortunately, the cultivators were unable to enter, so they lured the mortals in to search for it. No matter who it was, as long as they could find an Immortal or Devil's relic or the Glorious Star immortal herb, they would be unconditionally accepted into the School of Immortals.
However, there was another type of monster here. According to legends, it was a monster that guarded the Immortal Devil Mausoleum. It was bloodthirsty and killed people like they were grass.
Therefore, if it wasn't for the desperate or desperate, who would risk their lives to come here? To become an immortal, one had to be alive to enjoy it!
Miao Yi wasn't a desperate person, nor was he a desperate person. He was only seventeen years old. He wasn't old, but he wasn't young either. It was normal for people his age to get married and have children.
He took a fancy to the beautiful daughter of Old Li's family from the tofu shop opposite his butcher stall. He found a matchmaker to ask for her hand in marriage. After Old Li of the tofu shop understood the situation, he immediately chased the matchmaker out. The two families lived across the street, so who wouldn't know each other? A butcher brat with no money, no status, and two little burdens to support, still wanted to marry his daughter?
It was useless even if the matchmaker could bring the dead back to life. Old Li's wife scolded him for a long time. Words like a toad lusting after swan meat were unavoidable.
It would have been better if he hadn't asked for her hand in marriage. The moment he did, Old Li's family immediately guarded against Miao Yi like he was a thief. They didn't allow their daughter, who had grown up with Miao Yi naked, to see him again. They were afraid that Miao Yi would kidnap her. The two families had completely cut off contact. Neighbors fell out that quickly.
Miao Yi couldn't say that he liked Old Li's daughter that much. It was only because of his family's circumstances that he wasn't in the mood to talk about love. He was only following the local customs. If it didn't work out, then so be it. He didn't think much of it. However, this incident made him understand one thing.
His foster parents, who had passed away long ago, had treated Miao Yi well, leaving behind a son and a daughter. Miao Yi didn't want his younger siblings to follow in his footsteps. It just so happened that the Boundless Secular World had opened, so he wanted to enter and fight for his younger siblings' future.
Who would have thought that not long after he entered, he would be targeted by his old enemy, Huang Cheng, and his lackeys, the Zhao Brothers. They didn't do anything other than run away and start scolding them.
Mist swirled around them. The scattered adventurers in the mist turned their heads to look at the four people chasing each other. They were more or less stunned. They didn't think that these brats who hadn't even grown out of their pubic hair would dare to come to such a dangerous place to play.
"This brat's zodiac is like a dog. He can really run. Boss, I can't run anymore. Let's rest! "
The second of the Zhao Brothers, Zhao Xingwu, panted heavily.
His brother, Zhao Xingkui, also shouted to Huang Cheng, "Yeah, Boss. Let's rest."
Huang Cheng himself couldn't run anymore. He stretched out his hand to support himself on a rock, panting heavily. The Zhao Brothers also stopped at the side.
Miao Yi was also unbearably tired. Seeing that the people behind him weren't chasing him anymore, he also stretched out his hand to support himself on a large rock. He twisted his body and sat down, panting heavily. He pointed at the three of them and shook his head, saying, "Huang Cheng, are you crazy? Why don't you take a look at the place before you start looking for trouble? Are you tired of living?"
The long saber in Huang Cheng's hand knocked on the rock twice, then pointed at Miao Yi. "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being a toad lusting after a swan's flesh. A pig butcher wants to become an immortal? And you want to step on my Huang family's head? Today, I'm here to put an end to future troubles! "
His father was one of the Head Guards under the City Lord of Changfeng City, the famous Head Guard Huang. The area he was in charge of included Miao Yi's family. He had always been at odds with Miao Yi since he was young, always suffering at Miao Yi's hands. However, this was just a fight between children. Even his father couldn't take advantage of his position to bully others. Otherwise, the spittle of the neighbors could drown you to death.
This time, when he found out that Miao Yi wanted to adventure in the Boundless Secular World, he immediately jumped up in shock. His family couldn't even handle Miao Yi, what would happen if Miao Yi became an immortal?
He wouldn't let Miao Yi step on his head even if he was beaten to death. Thus, he gathered two of his henchmen, intending to kill him!
Miao Yi glanced at the long sabers in the three men's hands, panting heavily as he asked, "You guys really want to kill me?"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled sinisterly. Huang Cheng looked around, then said in a strange tone, "This isn't the city. It's normal for someone to die here. Who knows who did it?"
Miao Yi was shocked. Both parties had fought since they were young, and at most, they would bruise each other. They had never fought to the point where they wanted to kill each other. After all, the law wasn't just for show.
"Are you crazy? You dared to come all the way here to kill me. Do you still need to be afraid of me becoming an immortal? "Miao Yi pointed at his surroundings in disbelief.
The meaning behind his words was simple. You dared to come all the way here and take the risk. You could find the treasure and hand it over to the immortal, and you would become an immortal yourself. Do you still need to be afraid of him becoming an immortal?
"Tch!" Huang Cheng snorted in disdain. He looked around, seemingly unwilling.
He didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He wanted to do so, but his elder sister, who his father had pulled some strings to send to the immortal's side as a handmaiden, had received some insider information and had warned him sternly not to do so. This was muddy water. As for why, she refused to reveal it.
It was precisely because his elder sister was a handmaiden by the immortal's side that his father managed to get the position of Head Guard.
"Be good! Stop fooling around. Hurry up and go home. "Miao Yi waved his hand. He picked up the butcher knife and stood up, then turned around to leave.
Huang Cheng was startled. He was instantly enraged. Did he think he was a child? He brandished his knife and shouted, "Stop right there!"
"If you can catch me, then go ahead. You know how dangerous this place is, as long as you aren't afraid of death."
Miao Yi threw down these words and continued walking, too lazy to bother with them.
Huang Cheng looked around and seemed to have realized that they had already run very deep. It would indeed be dangerous to go any deeper.
They had originally followed Miao Yi into this place with the intention of ambushing him. Unfortunately, the grass in this godforsaken place had already been carbonized. Their footsteps made a cracking sound, and they were discovered by Miao Yi before they could even get close. In the end, they had accidentally run so far away.
"Fine, you can run. Miao, if you have the guts, then run. You can run, but the temple can't. Anyway, you still have two little ones at home. It'll be the same to deal with them later."
Huang Cheng didn't dare to run any further. Instead, he acted like a hoodlum and threatened shamelessly.
As soon as he said this, Miao Yi stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around. The other party was right. It reminded him of something. If he really couldn't make it back, then these bastards would definitely bully his little brother and little sister back at home.
Seeing that the threat was effective, Zhao Xingkui immediately added fuel to the fire with a wretched expression, "That little sister of his is a beauty. Her skin and flesh are tender. Strip her naked …"
"Shut up!"
The other party's words became more and more vulgar, and he even added some unsightly actions. Miao Yi was enraged. He brandished his saber and pointed it at the three, gritting his teeth, "You're asking for death!"
Huang Cheng mockingly waved at Miao Yi, "Don't run if you have the guts. Come! I'll stand here and wait for you. I'm here to die. Come, come and kill me! "
Miao Yi suppressed his anger and stared at the three expressionlessly. He didn't make any move to rush forward and risk his life. His lips were tightly pursed.
Normally, he had the strength to butcher pigs since he was young. It wasn't as if he had never fought against the three of them alone. But now, the three of them were holding sabers in their hands. He didn't have the ability to be invulnerable. Getting stabbed was no laughing matter. It wasn't worth it to die in the hands of these three bastards.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the three of them immediately booed and shouted at him, calling him a good-for-nothing. What was he trying to scare them with?
However, Miao Yi turned his gaze to the other adventurers who were rushing over from behind the three of them. One of them was a burly man with a curly beard and a long saber in his hand. He had a fierce look on his face, and it was obvious that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
The corner of Miao Yi's mouth curled into a cold smile. When those people came closer, he suddenly brandished his saber and shouted, "Hand over the immortal herb!"
Huang Cheng and the other two were stunned. They thought that Miao Yi had taken the wrong medicine, but they soon realized that something was wrong. They noticed that the people coming from the left and right had quickly stopped. Each and every one of them stared at the three of them with unfathomable gazes. Their strange gazes caused the three of them to feel a chill in their hearts.
Seeing that the three of them were all young and immature, some of them began to move closer to the three of them. Regardless of whether it was true or not, they were prepared to get to the bottom of it first.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. We don't have the immortal herb. We're here to settle our debts with him, not to pick the immortal herb." Huang Cheng hurriedly explained.
