In the dusky forest, the red fog grew even denser.
The two horses suddenly neighed, attracting the attention of the mystic beasts and humans on the other side. Lu An watched as the two horses in front of him began to fight with each other, and his heart trembled!
Following that, he immediately turned to look at the mystic beasts and humans, and realized that they were all looking at him. Those red eyes made him feel a sense of danger.
"Go!"
Lu An's eyes focused, and his figure instantly dashed out! His speed was extremely fast, as he quickly arrived within the dense foliage. While hiding himself, he sprinted.
However, how could these strange beasts and humans let Lu An escape with their own eyes? Because Lu An had escaped, they no longer attacked each other, and instead, they roared out in unison, and charged towards Lu An!
It was as if, in their eyes, the person who ran away was the most despicable!
As Lu An ran, he looked at the humans and mystic beasts chasing after him, and his brows gradually furrowed. He could sense that these mystic beasts and Heavenly Masters were all around the peak of the first rank, and there weren't any second rank Heavenly Masters or second rank mystic beasts. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they could not pose a threat to him. However, he was afraid that this fog would affect Yao too much.
If this damage was permanent, then Yao would be in a complete mess!
The footsteps of these mystic beasts and humans behind him were very messy, as though they were randomly charging about in the forest. Compared to Lu An, they were too far apart. Adding that Lu An's speed was faster than them in the first place, Lu An quickly shook them off.
Hearing the sounds behind him gradually getting further away, and the surrounding red fog gradually disappearing as well, Lu An who was returning by the original route slowly heaved a sigh of relief. When he successfully escaped from the fog, he quickly brought Yao to the side of a small stream, and called out to Yao. "Miss Yao! Miss Yao! "
Under Lu An's shout, Yao's body slightly moved, and then, she gradually opened her eyes.
Lu An looked at this pair of eyes. The original red color had completely disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely clear gaze. After confirming this, Lu An heaved a sigh of relief.
As expected, just as Lu An had expected, Yao sat up from the ground a little tiredly. Rubbing her head, she asked, "What happened to me?"
"That mist is poisonous," Lu An frowned and said in a deep voice. "Your mind was disturbed by the mist just now, but it's good that you're fine."
Yao nodded her head in response. She did not remember what had happened earlier. She only remembered that she had entered the forest with Lu An, and that was all.
"It's better if you don't go there," Lu An said softly. "In order to avoid any accidents, we have to prioritize sending you home safely."
Hearing this, Yao frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, she turned to look at Lu An and asked, "Are you alright after you entered the fog?"
Lu An was stunned, but he still nodded and said, "I'm fine."
"I feel that someone is using something to cultivate a Divergent Technique." Yao's eyebrows slightly knitted, and she said in a low voice. "When we reached this place, I could feel the evil of that thing. I'm afraid that the cultivation of this Divergent Technique requires a person's blood essence and evil aura. If we were to allow him to continue cultivating, who knows how many more people would die. "
Lu An frowned and asked. "Divergent Technique?"
"Mn." Yao lightly nodded and said. "I'm sure."
Lu An's heart sank. He now understood many things. Back then at Mount Dacheng Tianshan, when he was suspected of cultivating a Divergent Technique, he had asked Han Ya in detail about what a Divergent Technique was.
The definition of a Divergent Technique was actually very vague. In short, it was something evil. Cultivating a Divergent Technique would cause negative effects to other people or things, and could even cause a large-scale crisis. This was considered a Divergent Technique.
If what Yao said was true, and the scene earlier was because someone was cultivating a Divergent Technique, then to be able to control people at the pinnacle of the first level to kill each other, the other party's strength should be even higher, right?
To be honest, Lu An did not want to care about it.
There were too many unfair and unreasonable things in this world. It was impossible for him to meddle in everything he saw, even if it was a Divergent Technique. He was not the enforcer of this world, so he had no obligation or responsibility to manage these things.
If he had already become a powerful expert, then he might care about it. However, the current him was still too weak. No matter what he did, it was possible for him to fall into the abyss of eternal damnation.
Yao looked at Lu An's solemn expression. It was not that she did not know how to read people's expressions, and she knew that Lu An did not want to care about it. She also knew that Lu An was a very complicated person. He was very good, for example, he saved Xiaotong and herself. He was also very ruthless, and when he was on the ship, he did not even have the thought of saving the others.
However, her clan would definitely not allow such a Divergent Technique to exist in this world. The clan's rules clearly stated that any clansmen who saw a Divergent Technique must be completely eliminated. Although she did not properly cultivate at home since she was young, she still remembered things like the clan's rules in her heart.
If she did not eliminate a Divergent Technique when she saw one, she would most likely be scolded when she returned home.
Just at this moment, Lu An took a deep breath, and softly said to Yao. "Miss Yao, it's really too dangerous inside. Just that fog alone is enough to make us unsure of what will happen. Furthermore, we don't even know where that person is cultivating. Furthermore, that fog will affect you. If I were to leave you alone outside, I wouldn't be at ease either. "
"You can release an igloo for me!" Yao hurriedly said. "If it's the location, I can sense where it is!"
Looking at Lu An's increasingly tightly furrowed brows, Yao lowered her head a little shamefully, and softly said. "How about this, if you're able to completely destroy this Divergent Technique, then I can gift you another divine art …"
Lu An was startled when he heard this, as he looked at Yao in astonishment. He really did not expect that Yao would actually care so much about the existence of this Divergent Technique.
No matter what, this divine art was definitely not something that would be passed down to outsiders. At the very least, he had never heard of the divine art's name. It had to be said that Lu An was indeed tempted.
Although he did not know how powerful the divine art was, how special it was, and whether it was worth it for him to risk his life, he could only bet that this divine art was worth it. The only reason was Yao's unique aura, and the strength of her blessing.
Taking a light breath, Lu An finally nodded his head.
Seeing this, Yao was instantly happy. Her beautiful face was filled with smiles, as she said to Lu An. "As long as you help me get rid of this Divergent Technique, I guarantee that I'll listen to you on the way home, and won't cause you any trouble!"
Lu An bitterly smiled, and nodded his head. Then, he found a secluded cave, built an igloo in the cave, and locked Yao inside.
The space of the igloo was not small, and there was even the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame to warm her up. Of course, after being together for so long, Yao also understood that the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame was definitely not to be touched.
However, Lu An still left a small opening in the igloo, which was just enough for Yao to crawl out. This was because he was afraid that if something were to happen to him, Yao would not be able to leave this place.
"Where's the Divergent Technique?" In the cave, Lu An who had settled everything asked.
"Northeast, around three miles. It's not on the surface, so it should be in the cave. "Yao hurriedly said.
Lu An lightly nodded his head, and said. "If I don't return after a night, you can leave by yourself."
"Mn." Yao nodded her head in response.
Lu An was still worried, and once again warned Yao. "Stay here by yourself, and try to be as quiet as possible. No matter what happens outside, don't make a sound, understand?"
"Mn!" Yao guaranteed. "I'll definitely obediently stay here!"
Seeing this, Lu An finally felt relieved. He left the cave, and after covering the cave entrance with tree branches, he turned around and once again looked at the Dense Fog Forest behind him.
At this very moment, dusk had already passed, and night had descended. The red fog in the forest ahead seemed especially demonic, as though he could faintly hear the cries of ghosts.
Lu An's brows trembled. Since he had decided to resolve this matter, he wanted to see just what kind of demon or ghost was capable of doing such a thing!
