Other than the central region of the Azure Wood Great World, everywhere else was desolate.
In the periphery of the Azure Wood Great World, there was a mountain range. Above the mountain range, the sky was grayish-black. There was a sun shining high up in the sky, but the sun was dim, like a dying old man.
The mountains stretched endlessly, but they were not covered with any vegetation. At a glance, it was a scene of desolation.
Some of the mountain peaks were flowing with lava, with black smoke billowing into the sky. Some of the mountain peaks were littered with withered trees and piles of bones. It was lifeless, looking like a cemetery. There were also some mountain peaks that were covered in terrifying black storms. The storms could rip powerful Fey beasts to shreds.
In the valleys between the mountain peaks, there were large swamps of black swamps. There was a foul stench and miasma everywhere. The miasma was highly toxic. If an ordinary person were to inhale it, not only would they be poisoned to death, even their corpses would be corroded to bones.
"What can we find in this godforsaken place?"
In the black swamp, there were two men searching. They were not young geniuses from large sects, but from gangs formed by itinerant cultivators.
In the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, gangs were very different from sects. Sects had their own heritage and strict sect rules. Disciples of sects would cultivate in similar cultivation techniques.
As for gangs, they were a lot more undisciplined. A gang was just a group of people that banded together because of a common interest. The cultivation techniques they cultivated in were also varied, and it was possible for people to quit at any time. Some gangs were simply bandit groups that specialized in killing people and robbing them.
The Azure Wood Great World was massive, so there were many entrances into the Azure Wood Great World. Some of the idle members of the gangs would enter through the periphery of the Azure Wood Great World. Of course, they would only loiter around the periphery of the Azure Wood Great World, not daring to venture deep into its depths.
"Junior Brother, there are many good things in the Azure Wood Great World. This is the land of the reclusive Azure Wood Sect. For such an ancient sect to be in dire straits, how could there be any lack of treasures? Furthermore, ignoring the Azure Wood Sect, just the Azure Wood Great World itself is rich in natural treasures. Now that the world is about to collapse, those ordinary plants and animals will die. The remaining natural treasures will be revealed. "
As the two men spoke, they suddenly heard intermittent shouts in front of them —
"Help, help —"
The voice was sweet and pleasant, as if it belonged to a beautiful young girl.
"What happened?"
The two burly men looked at each other and immediately used their movement skills to rush over. When they saw the scene in front of them, their eyes lit up.
A young girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old was trapped in the swamp. From the black mud, thick vines stretched out and bound the young girl.
It was a demonic tree!
"Haha, Junior Brother, didn't I say it before? After all the vegetation in the Azure Wood Great World dies, anything that can survive is definitely not simple. Look at this Fey tree. Due to its lack of Yuan Qi, it is already on the brink of death from hunger. It has come out to capture this girl as food. If I'm not wrong, this is a Black Blood Vine. Be it as medicine or poison, it's very good. Our Heavenly Bane Duo's luck has come."
One of the burly men said with his eyes shining.
"Black Blood Vine? Not bad indeed! Furthermore, this chick has some good treasures on her. " The other burly man said as he looked at the items on the young girl's body greedily. The Heavenly Bane Duo had been robbing tombs all year round, so their eyes were naturally very sharp. They could tell that the clothes and the hairpins on the young girl's body were all priceless Immortal weapons.
"That's right. This chick must be from a large sect. Her sect's elders must have given her a lot of good things. Unfortunately, her cultivation level is too low, so she can't use them to their full potential. She can't even finish off a Black Blood Vine. What a waste. Babe, don't worry. Once I finish off this Black Blood Vine, I'll show you some love."
As the burly man spoke, he revealed a lewd smile.
Seeing the girl's pure aura and solid foundation, she was definitely a genius girl from a large sect. Such a girl was high and mighty in the outside world. They could only look up to her, but now, in the Azure Wood Great World, she was in their hands. They could ravage her as they pleased, so how could they not be excited?
"What … What are you doing!?"
The girl panicked as she struggled with all her might. However, the vines only tightened their bindings. At that moment, compared to the Black Blood Vine that wanted to eat her, the two burly men in front of her were more terrifying.
"You're asking us what we're doing? Hehe, why are you still asking such a stupid question at this point in time? Lass, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too capricious. Didn't you sneak in behind your master's back? It's fine if you're being bound by the Black Blood Vine, but to think you're crying out for help. Are you sick of dying? But don't worry. Now that you're in my hands, you'll at least have a good time before you die. "
"Senior Brother, this chick looks like she's still a fledgling. The previous fledgling was done by you first. Do you want me to seduce her this time?"
The Heavenly Calamity Duo exchanged lewd words as they approached the girl. However, they did not lower their guard. They had to first finish off the Black Blood Vine.
Of course, with their strength, it was not a problem for them to finish off the Black Blood Vine.
"Cha! Cha! "
The Heavenly Calamity Duo pulled out two sabers at the same time. They leaped up and slashed at the Black Blood Vine from the left and right!
The girl was flustered, as though she was extremely terrified. But at that moment, the black mud suddenly exploded thirty feet in front of the girl!
"Hiss!"
The sound of a snake hissing that left one shuddering rang out. A snake that was as thick as three people wrapped their arms around it charged out of the mud and bit the Heavenly Calamity Duo!
"Ah!"
"What's that!?"
The Heavenly Calamity Duo was alarmed. Before they took action, they had used their perception to probe their surroundings, but they had failed to detect any danger. How did the python appear?
"Die!"
The Heavenly Calamity Duo changed their attack at the last moment as they slashed at the python with their sabers.
However, the moment the python opened its mouth, a black vortex appeared in its throat. The surrounding void collapsed as the Heavenly Calamity Duo felt their bodies lose control. Their sabers also flew out of their hands.
Engulfment law!?
It was a Fey beast that was proficient in the engulfment law!?
The two were horrified, but they were eventually swallowed by the python. The spear-like venomous fangs pierced their bodies as they let out shrill cries!
"Ah, ah, ah!"
The two spat out mouthfuls of blood as they felt extreme despair. However, the python did not seem to have the intention of biting them to death, allowing them to suffer the torment before death.
It was only at that moment that the Heavenly Calamity Duo realized that the girl that had been bound by the Black Blood Vine had escaped at some point in time. She stood gracefully above the swamp's mud, her toes tapping gently on the water's surface. Her aqua-green dress was spotless, making her look like a lotus flower that had emerged from the water. She made one feel ashamed of their inferiority.
And at that moment, the girl's delicate and pretty face had a cold smile hanging on it.
"Wh … What?"
The Heavenly Calamity Duo's expressions changed drastically. Only then did they realize that the girl in front of them was not some ignorant girl. They were the foolish ones. From the beginning to the end, it had been an intricately laid out trap.
"You witch …"
The burly man said through gritted teeth. He still wanted to curse viciously, but his aura grew weaker and weaker. Finally, he was completely swallowed by the python.
"What filthy flesh. Little Blue feels like vomiting after eating it."
The girl said with a slight frown.
Little Blue was the python in front of her. The mud on the python's body had already slid off, revealing beautiful green scales. Although the python had emerged from the mud, its body was not stained by the mud.
At that moment, the void in front of the girl distorted as space tore apart. A silver-haired girl stepped out and appeared in front of the green-dressed girl.
"Chu He, you are messing around again. You left the Azure Wood Divine Residence for no reason and came to such a remote place. If you were to encounter a truly powerful person, would you still be able to return?"
The silver-haired girl rebuked. She was very angry at Chu He's actions.
The silver-haired girl was the successor of the Azure Wood Manor. She had been praying in the Azure Wood Garden — she had prayed countless times, but she had failed to awaken the divine tree's consciousness.
With her prayers fruitless, the silver-haired girl came to find her junior sister. Up to this point, other than her and the old servant that accompanied her, Chu He was the only one left in the Azure Wood Garden.
"Senior Sister, these outsiders came to rob us of our treasures. Can't I punish them?"
The green-dressed girl pouted her lips and said unhappily.
The silver-haired girl shook her head and said, "What they did was not to be blamed. Searching for ruins is a matter of course in the martial world. If there's anyone to blame, it can only be blamed for the decline of our Azure Wood Manor."
"I know." Chu He blinked her raven-black eyes and gave an innocent look. "I didn't kill anyone I saw. If not, why would I be acting? I could have just let Little Blue devour them. I'm acting here to see who has nefarious thoughts towards me. These people with nefarious thoughts deserve to be killed! As long as they don't have nefarious thoughts, I'll spare them. After all, I know that the Azure Wood Great World is about to collapse. Even if these outsiders do not come to search for treasures, many things will be destroyed. "
"Oh, you. I really can't do anything about you." The silver-haired girl shook her head and suddenly pricked up her eyebrows. "Oh? Someone is coming again! "
As she spoke, her body moved and she vanished into the void. And at that moment, fifty kilometers away, a youth was flying through the sky with a sword in hand.
And not far in front of him, a man's face was ashen. His forehead was dripping with sweat. He was desperately escaping in despair.
He never expected that the sword-wielding youth was so terrifying! His cultivation level was only at the half-step Dao Manifestation realm, but his strength was terrifying!
One strike. Just one strike had killed his companion. Not only was he dead, even his body had aged and decayed, to the point of being reduced to bones.
Such a terrifying sword technique left one shuddering just from the thought of it!
He didn't even think before running away. He had extraordinary attainments in movement techniques, but he didn't expect that his movement technique, which he was so proud of, couldn't escape from this young man's pursuit. Now, he was about to be caught up!
