trees in this part of the forest were unusually thick and gnarled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their leaves were as large as human heads, colored a nearly ink-black shade of dark green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath their feet was wet and sticky, and each step felt like they were treading through mud tainted with rotting flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with a pungent stench of blood and decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones — white, clean, and ominously scattered — were everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolute silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the insects had gone still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible pressure seemed to hang over the area, making every breath feel like it came with a spike of terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All signs pointed to one fact:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had entered the territory of an extremely dangerous Spirit

attention wasn't the wall itself—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the claw marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several gashes, each several meters long, carved deep into the rock face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These weren't superficial scratches—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were etched so deeply into the stone that a savage aura surged out from them, making everyone's heart race

finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson blood welled up instantly, dripping into the claw mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside of the mark was as smooth as glass, without

beneath their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian and the others felt a continuous buzzing in their ears and their blood churning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's from Wind Sword Sect's

few minutes later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn't yet arrived at the source of the sound when—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian suddenly skidded to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He barked the order, instantly halting the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From deep in the forest ahead, a crimson mist began rolling toward them, rolled forward like a tide of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrubbery — as tall as a man — was being flattened outward by an unseen force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nauseating stench of blood blew in their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying pressure descended upon them, suffocating and oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian and his companions felt like they'd fallen into an icy pit, chilled to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within that bloody mist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something… terrifying was about to
