On the horizon, the originally lush and verdant forest began to slowly disappear. Desolation and deathly stillness began to appear on the ground. Looking from the sky, the distant air was filled with a layer of gray fog, and the atmosphere was lifeless. This was one of the seven great danger zones of the Southern Ming Continent, the Ancient Quiet Wave Lake!
Hayashikawa had been to many places filled with miasma, such as the periphery of the Tomb of Beauty and the core of the Immortal's Mansion. These places were filled with thick black fog. However, these places gave people the feeling of danger and strangeness. But the Ancient Still Wave Lake was different. The fog here was grey and had a heavy feeling of oppression. It was as if once one stepped into it, there was no way out and they would be exiled forever in this barren land.
"The Seven Forbidden Lands. Just this name alone is enough to make people shrink back!" Chen Feiyu muttered to himself as he stared at the grey sky in the distance.
"The closer we get to it, the more oppressive my heart feels. This feeling is really uncomfortable!" Lian Yifan said with a frown.
Ever since he started cultivating, he had faced many dangers. However, this was the first time he had encountered a situation where he felt fear just by looking at it. Moreover, it was so intense that it made people feel uneasy.
"Let's go. Let's go take a look at the periphery!" Luo Yuxi said as she controlled the river to descend towards the edge of the Ancient Still Wave Lake.
They were going to enter the Ancient Still Wave Lake on foot. If anyone dared to fly in, they really didn't know how to write the word 'death'.
There were many dangers within the deathly grey fog that permeated this region. Terrifying whirlwinds would blow from time to time, making it extremely easy for people to lose their sense of direction. Moreover, there was no point of reference in the sky. Once lost, it was almost impossible to find a way out. This was without taking into account the other dangers.
Moreover, the fog of the Ancient Still Wave Lake had a great blocking and corroding effect on a cultivator's divine sense. Even if a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could use their divine sense to explore the fog, they wouldn't dare to use it for a long time. They also couldn't use it too far away from their bodies. This was one of the reasons why this place was so dangerous.
There was now a huge market outside the Jinglan Ancient Lake. Recently, due to the information being sold by the Dayin Tower, the number of people who wanted to enter the Jinglan Ancient Lake to search for elixirs had increased. Where there were people, there would naturally be transactions. Thus, the small exchange of information had become the only place where people could enter the Jinglan Ancient Lake.
Hayashikawa's group of seven also went straight to this place. When the light blue river water appeared in the sky, it alarmed everyone in the market.
"An azure river water magical artifact, it's someone from the Luo River Sect!"
"Looks like Luo He Sect also wants a piece of the pie!"
…
The crowd discussed animatedly as they looked at the sky. Some were gloomy, some were envious, and some were even filled with deep hatred. However, no matter what kind of people they were, they all had a deep fear of the river.
The river water flowed backwards, and the azure water screen receded, revealing the figures of seven people. They were dressed in luxurious robes, and the embroidered pattern representing the Seven Sons of Luo River was particularly eye-catching, instantly causing the gazes of everyone present to freeze.
"The Seven Sons of Luo River!"
At this time, even though most people did not recognize these seven people, their clothes and the number of people said it all.
These seven people stood at the peak of the younger generation in the Water Country – the Seven Sons of Luo River!
"Even the Seven Sons of Luo River are here?"
"This time, there will be a lot to see at the Jinglan Ancient Lake!"
…
"Why is there a child with them?"
"This child is also one of the Seven Sons of Luo River? Why haven't I heard of him before? "
After the initial shock, the crowd began to observe the Seven Sons of Luo River. Among them, Luo Yuxi was the most famous and could be recognized at a glance. The others were also well-known people in the Water Country, but only the youngest child attracted the attention of the crowd. Firstly, his cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and secondly, he seemed to be only about eight years old. Bringing such a child into the Jinglan Ancient Lake, wasn't this courting death? The Seven Great Forbidden Lands were not places to play around.
Ignoring the criticism of the crowd, Luo Yuxi led the group directly to a place where information was sold.
"What kind of information do you want to buy?"
This was an old man, sitting casually under a withered tree. He was thin and small, and if Luo Yuxi had not led them to this place, no one would have paid attention to this beggar-like old man.
"Senior, who are the people who have entered the Jinglan Ancient Lake recently?" Luo Yuxi asked softly.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Luo Yuxi wanted to know if there were any hostile forces that had entered the Ancient Lake so that he could prepare in advance. This kind of information was best collected at the periphery of the Jinglan Ancient Lake. It was much more convenient than in the Dayin Tower.
"Ten thousand spirit stones!" The old man said directly.
Just as the crowd gasped, thinking that this person was asking for too much, Luo Yuxi took out ten thousand spirit stones without hesitation.
Whoosh!
A layer of water instantly surrounded the Seven Sons of Luo River, isolating them from the outside world.
"This … I seem to feel the energy of a Divine Transformation Stage cultivator!"
The crowd looked in horror at the area surrounded by the blue light and said in fear.
"The information you want is in this jade tube. Also, according to my information network, the Four Great Holy Lands of the Monster Beasts have begun to take action at the Jinglan Ancient Lake. They seem to be extremely dissatisfied with humans entering their ancestral land, so the danger in the Ancient Lake has increased greatly. In addition, some people have seen the members of the terrorist organization [Akatsuki] in the Jinglan Ancient Lake. Although their strength is only at the Yuanying Stage, this organization is very terrifying among those of the same level.
After the old man finished speaking, he directly closed his eyes and leaned against the withered tree to rest, like a person who was about to die.
The light blue water disappeared and the Seven Sons of Luo River reappeared in front of the crowd.
When Luo Yuxi left with the group and walked to other places, someone immediately rushed over, wanting to find the mysterious old man to buy information. However, he was directly pushed away by a terrifying aura, causing everyone who wanted to buy information to be shocked and not dare to act rashly.
After leaving the old man, Luo Yuxi and the Seven Sons of Luo River began to wander around, buying some things that they were interested in.
After a quarter of an hour, a terrified scream pierced through the sky, causing everyone's expression to change.
"Not good, the death fog of the Jinglan Ancient Lake is blowing over!"
Everyone looked up and saw a hurricane blowing over the horizon. The grey fog that was originally very far away from here began to drift over in a large area. Everywhere it passed, it was misty. The rocks and the ground were constantly corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye. The smell of blood in the air suddenly increased by a lot. Many people in the market began to scatter in all directions. Some fled into the underground caves that had been dug long ago, and some fled directly to the horizon …
