The opportunity that Tang Huan was waiting for came a little earlier than he had expected.
Five days later, in Yue Ling City, which was ten thousand miles away, there was an intense battle with the death squad. A small portion of the undead passed through the blockade and escaped towards Heavenly River City.
When the news reached Heavenly River City, Du Yue immediately sent five of the fifteen teams that were originally stationed in the city to search for the whereabouts of the group of undead. Tang Huan's team was also one of them.
Tang Huan knew why Du Yue chose him. The reason was actually very simple.
According to the intelligence from the Yue Ling City, the group of undeads that escaped were all weak small fries. Tang Huan's team was ranked the lowest amongst the thirty teams. Even if their luck was bad, if they really met that group of undeads, they would not be in too much danger.
If the undead were too strong, Tang Huan's team would probably have to stay in the city for a while.
And after executing this mission, Du Yue had enough reasons not to assign Tang Huan's team any missions for a relatively long period of time.
Tang Huan was rather grateful towards Du Yue's good intentions.
However, Tang Huan would not miss this opportunity. That day, when Du Yue saw him, he had revealed that more and more "Nether Death Realm" experts were entering the "Domain". For Tang Huan, who wanted to go deep into the battlefield to search for the "Grandmist Immortal Liquid", the longer she delayed, the more dangerous it would be.
"Whoosh!" "Whiz ~ ~ ~"
Between the bare low mounds, more than a hundred figures were flying at high speed.
The person in the lead was Tang Huan.
The fifteen teams that were originally patrolling outside the city, in addition to the five teams that had been temporarily sent out, had a total of twenty teams. With Heavenly River City as the center, they spread out in all directions, while Tang Huan and another team led by a Third Order Sky Knight were in charge of searching the northwest region of Heavenly River City.
Not long after they left the city, Tang Huan split the team into ten teams, each led by a Celestial Phenomenon Stage.
"Commander, there's a situation!"
A slightly anxious voice suddenly rang out.
Tang Huan's footsteps paused, she turned around and looked, the yellow-clothed man in his thirties who was closest to him hurriedly said: "Commander, I just received news from the third squad, they seem to have discovered traces of undead spirits. Judging from the death aura, there are probably four to five hundred of them."
"The third squad?"
Tang Huan frowned slightly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Inform them not to act rashly, we will immediately go over to reinforce them, and then inform the other teams to move closer to the third team!"
"Yes!"
The yellow-clothed man quickly replied.
In each of Tang Huan's ten small teams, there was a Heavenly Monarch who specialized in transmitting messages. Once a situation was discovered, it would be transmitted at the fastest speed possible.
"Whoosh —"
After slightly determining the direction, Tang Huan immediately led the team east.
The distance of several hundred li was covered in the blink of an eye. A hundred-meter-tall mountain ridge appeared in front of them. They did not stop, but as soon as they rushed up, their expressions changed drastically.
Behind the mountain ridge was a valley, but at this moment, the valley was filled with corpses.
After a rough count, there were dozens of them, stretching from the depths of the valley to the mouth of the valley.
The corpses were like skeletons, as if their flesh and vitality had been sucked dry. A thick aura of death lingered around the corpses.
"I think it's the third squad!"
"They have already started fighting with the undead!"
"…"
After a moment of blankness, everyone could not help but cry out in alarm.
"I even contacted Ren Xingyang on the way. At that time, there was still no situation at all, but now so many people have died!" The yellow-clothed man who was in charge of delivering the message had his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief. The other cultivators also had bewildered expressions on their faces.
According to the news from Yue Ling City, the group of undead were relatively weak.
According to common sense, a first level Heaven stage cultivator with a hundred sixth level Heavenly Lords, even if they were not a match for that group of undead, it would not be a problem for them to hold on for a short period of time. However, in this place, seventy to eighty people had died in an instant, and the remaining twenty to thirty people had disappeared without a trace.
"Looks like the news from Yue Ling City is wrong."
Tang Huan squinted her eyes, she raised her hand and pointed towards the entrance of the valley, and said in a deep voice, "They should be heading that way, I will catch up to them first to see the situation, you guys follow behind, be careful, and immediately send a message to the other eight teams, tell them about the situation here."
"Yes, Commander!"
The yellow-clothed man and the others hurriedly bowed in response, but they all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Looking at everyone's expressions, an indescribable look flashed across Tang Huan's eyes, and then, she leaped down from the mountain ridge and sped through the valley, like a black ray of light, and in the blink of an eye, her figure had already disappeared from the valley entrance.
Inside Tang Huan's Dantian, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the "Dao Nascent Soul" were already circulating at high speed, the powerful Perception Ability had already covered an area of less than ten kilometers.
The balls of dense death aura that appeared from time to time were like bright lights, guiding Tang Huan in the right direction.
Almost every ball of death aura had the corpse of a cultivator from the third group. Their appearances were exactly the same as the cultivators who had died earlier in the valley, and their flesh and vitality had all been devoured by the Death Spirit Sucking. Their deaths looked extremely miserable, causing one's hair to stand on end, and one could not help but tremble in fear.
"Are you trying to lure us over and then catch us all in one fell swoop?" The corner of Tang Huan's mouth raised slightly, her eyes flashed with a ridiculing smile, and she muttered, "But unfortunately, not only are you guys unable to succeed, you have even given me an excellent opportunity to escape."
Whoosh.
The subtle sound of something tearing through the air could be heard continuously. Tang Huan was like a wisp of black smoke, moving and leaping between the incomparably desolate hills at an astonishing speed.
In a short moment, Tang Huan had already traversed through a hundred kilometers of space, and immediately after, she heard a burst of weak sounds of fighting. Not only that, at the same time, there were balls of powerful death aura that entered Tang Huan's perception range, and every ball of death aura was overflowing with intense aura fluctuations.
"Three hundred and forty-two Level Ten Death Spirits, ninety-six Level Eleven Death Spirits …"
"Eh, a fourteenth step Death Spirit, as expected."
Tang Huan's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile.
In this "Nether Death Realm", the division of strength of the undead was different from that of the cultivators of the "Nether Life Domain". Since ancient times, the undead had been divided into thirty-six levels.
A level one undead was equivalent to a human cultivator's Heaven Realm; a level two undead to a level five undead was equivalent to a Huang, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven Realm; a level six to level eleven was equivalent to a level six Heavenly Lord; a level twelve to level twenty-one was equivalent to a level ten Heavenly Lord, and so on.
