Soon, with Bu Lian Shi's powerful senses, they finally found a sect in a mountain range tens of thousands of miles away.
This sect was called the Huishan Sect, and the strongest Patriarch in the sect was only a Soul Formation expert. It could only be considered a small sect in the West River Continent.
There were many sects like this in the West River Continent. Although the Heaven's First Sword Sect ruled the entire continent with its powerful strength, it wasn't the only sect on the continent. There were many other smaller sects, but they were all under the jurisdiction of the Heaven's First Sword Sect. They were even more powerful than the Nakagawa Royal Family in the Nakagawa Continent.
"Are we going in directly?" Bu Lian Shi asked.
"Go directly to that Patriarch and seal off the surrounding information transmission!" Zero said softly.
"Okay!" Bu Lian Shi nodded and used his domain to seal off the surrounding spiritual Qi fluctuations and all information transmission.
Buzz!
Xiao Heng attacked, directly tearing open a spatial rift. Everyone flashed into it, and when they reappeared, they were already in a valley with dense spiritual energy. Within a palace in the valley, an old man was looking at a group of black-clothed people who had suddenly appeared here in disbelief.
"You …" Just as the old man was about to make a move, Zero's pupils suddenly shrank. Then, the spiritual Qi in the entire valley was instantly sucked out, and the spiritual Qi in the old man's body was instantly sucked out. In the blink of an eye, a Soul Formation expert was reduced to a mortal.
"We're only here to ask you a few questions. If you answer honestly, nothing will happen. But if you resist, you know the consequences!" Zero said indifferently.
In this world, strength was revered. Their cultivation was much higher than this old man's, so they didn't have the time to communicate with him properly. Simple and violent methods were what they should do.
However, they didn't kill the innocent. After all, there was no enmity between them. Otherwise, Zero would have used the Human Dao to search his soul.
"I understand. Immortal, please ask any questions you have. I'll tell you everything I know!"
After the initial panic, he immediately spoke respectfully. He knew very well that these people could tear the space apart and instantly clear all the Spirit Qi nearby and even the Spirit Qi in his body. If they wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping their hands. If he didn't comply at this time, the consequences would be that the entire sect would be destroyed instantly.
"Let me ask you. Why are there almost no cultivators in the surrounding ten thousand miles? What is the shadow ten thousand miles away?" Zero asked indifferently.
When the old man heard this, his expression immediately changed. "Immortal, you must be from somewhere else. The shadow ten thousand miles away is called the Chaotic Soul Abyss. There are no cultivators here because of the Chaotic Abyss' existence!"
Then, the old man began to explain the Chaotic Abyss in detail.
No one knew how long the Chaotic Soul Abyss had existed. In any case, it had been there for a long time. It wasn't a dangerous place because ordinary people couldn't enter at all. There was a very powerful formation that no one could break through.
However, even if one couldn't enter the Chaotic Soul Abyss, it still had a great influence on the surroundings. As long as a cultivator got close to the abyss or stayed in the vicinity for too long, their mind would be disturbed, causing them to lose their minds. Many experts had gone mad in the abyss, which was why it became known as a forbidden area. As a result, there were almost no cultivators within a radius of ten thousand miles.
"Every few decades, the Chaotic Soul Abyss will erupt with ghostly wails and wolf howls. A blood-colored mist will spread out. Cultivators who come in contact with it will go crazy. Therefore, even if it's calm most of the time, no one dares to get close to it. No one knows when the Chaotic Soul Abyss will suddenly erupt. When that time comes, death will be the only way out!" The old man said.
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. The old man's words were very similar to what Bu Lian Master had sensed before. They were sure that Bu Lian Master had sensed the Chaotic Soul Abyss.
"Has the Heavenly Sword Sect entered the Chaotic Soul Abyss?"
After muttering to himself for a moment, Zero suddenly asked.
The reason why he asked this question was because the direction of the Heaven Measuring Ruler was in the Chaotic Soul Abyss. If the Heavenly Sword Sect had also entered the Chaotic Soul Abyss, then Zero Pole Grass was in the Chaotic Soul Abyss. And if the Heavenly Sword Sect hadn't entered the Chaotic Soul Abyss, then the only possibility was that the stone containing Zero Pole Grass should have appeared in more than one place. But the probability of this was relatively small.
Hearing Zero's question, the complexion of the old man slightly changed. He had guessed that the people of Akatsuki organization might be the people of Heavenly Sword Sect, but now it seemed they were definitely not.
But such powerful people, if they weren't from Heavenly Sword Sect, then there was a high probability that they were the enemies of Heavenly Sword Sect. This made the old man somewhat difficult to decide.
"What's wrong?" Feeling the old man seemed to be somewhat hesitant, Zero asked.
"Immortals, I can tell you what I know, but please don't spread it out, otherwise my sect … …" The old man revealed helpless expression. Whether it was Heavenly Sword Sect or these few people in front of him, none of them were people he could resist. In order to survive, he could only be very careful.
"Just tell us, we won't spread it out!" Zero said lightly.
The old man nodded his head. He was also clear that today, he had to tell them whether he wanted to or not.
"More than 80 years ago, Heavenly Sword Sect had once sent people to this place. At that time, red mist pervaded the entire place, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, and many cultivators died. We all guessed that Heavenly Sword Sect had used a special method to open the formation of Chaotic Soul Abyss and entered it. What happened later confirmed our guess. Many cultivators of Heavenly Sword Sect left Chaotic Soul Abyss in high spirits, which attracted even more cultivators from other sects."
The old man revealed a reminiscing expression. Clearly, the scene at that time should have left an extremely deep impression on him.
"However, this time, there seemed to be a problem with Chaotic Soul Abyss. The terrifying red mist suddenly erupted and swept across a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Even the place where our sect is now was engulfed. However, the mist came and went quickly. In less than a breath's time, it had completely retreated. As a result, not many people died or were injured, but many went crazy!" The old man shook his head and sighed.
"Since then, Heavenly Sword Sect sent a large number of cultivators to Chaotic Soul Abyss to explore. However, unlike before, they did not open the Chaotic Soul Abyss again. They only lingered outside the formation of Chaotic Soul Abyss. After several years, they chose to leave without any results. That's how the No Man's Land is now."
At the end of the day, although Chaotic Soul Abyss had the ability to bewitch people, the true cause of No Man's Land was the disaster caused by Heavenly Sword Sect.
Just when everyone thought that this matter was over, the old man spoke again.
"Since then, Heavenly Sword Sect's Tribulation Passing Stage cultivator, Mu Yunshang, has never appeared again!"
