Chapter 329

After a short rest, the group set off again from the mountain ridge and collided with the thick corpse tide.

By the time they reached the Feng border line, the sky had already darkened.

But they did not stop, continuing to move forward.

Deep in the intersection of Zhongzhou and Liangzhou, there was a large ruin opened by the Chen Clan. Amidst the shadows, one could already see the corpse tide surging continuously, dense and scalp-numbing.

However, what was slightly comforting was that although the corpse tide was surging throughout the journey, causing them much consumption, there were no casualties.

"The Immortal Sects, they are indeed the Immortal Sects. With them leading, even this surging corpse tide is not so terrifying."

"It's a bit too smooth; I fear changes."

He Long of the He family and another elder, He Xing, were exchanging words while fighting, their voices continuing amidst the slaughter.

Hearing He Long's worry, He Xing couldn't help but frown: "Those people definitely won't sit and wait for death; they should have a backup plan, but there's no need to worry too much."

"Why?"

"The six major Immortal Sects are surrounding them like a cage; even if there are changes, they won't be able to make much of a splash."

As the two were talking, they saw He Ye waving his hand in front, ordering them to join forces with the disciples of the Zuoqiu family.

The thoughts of the two family heads were actually not much different from He Xing's. They were not far from their destination, and the other Immortal Sects would soon join the encirclement; even if they encountered resistance, there wouldn't be any major trouble.

But for the sake of caution, it was safer to be with the people around them.

Ji You also traveled across the mountain ridge, leading the Lu sisters and Cao Jingsong and others to move along the southwest direction, carving an arc through the corpse tide. During this time, he reached out several times to pull back the brave and fearless figure, feeling the slight difference in texture between his palms.

Because one was slightly rounder, and the other, while not as round, had better elasticity.

This made him suspect that he wasn't hitting the same buttocks.

Hum—

The ordinary version of the Dao sword, Little Zhongshan, slashed through the air. Ji You pulled the overly forward woman into his arms, retreating rapidly amidst the surging corpse tide, while subconsciously lowering his head.

Lu Qingqiu was currently staying obediently in his arms, lowering her head as if playing the role of her younger sister.

The eldest Miss Lu always presented herself with an elegant and rational image, appearing more mature compared to the lively Lu Hanyan.

Ji You had previously sighed that they were sisters, yet their personalities were completely different for some reason.

As it turned out, they were indeed sisters; no wonder the texture was different.

However, three breaths ago, he had hit one, and it seemed different from Lu Qingqiu's—larger, like a ripe peach.

Ji You's gaze glanced slightly backward.

Wen Zhengxin was currently holding the line in the rear with Ban Yangshu, holding her sword and whistling through a circle, her expression solemn and serious.

"You suddenly dashed forward just now; what did you do?"

Ban Yangshu had just been holding the line alone in the rear and had almost been clawed by those sharp claws. Now that she finally had a chance to breathe, she couldn't help but ask with lingering fear.

"I saw Long rushing too fast and was afraid something would happen to him, so I went to help with a sword strike before coming back."

Wen Zhengxin answered Ban Yangshu's question, her palm unable to help but gently rub her hip, looking serious and solemn.

To think one could even rub while spanking...

Worrying about Long was just a lie from Senior Sister Zhengxin.

Ji You clicked his tongue, then suddenly let go of Lu Qingqiu in his arms, reached out abruptly, grabbed Bai Rulong, who was truly about to encounter danger, and flung him backward with all his might.

This one couldn't be hugged randomly; after all, men and women are different.

And in that moment of flinging him back, he struck out with his sword in anger. The rising sword Qi instantly carried a heavy force, crushing the Evil Seeds in the front row, while the sharp sword Qi directly cut a narrow opening through the corpse tide.

The group whistled through, and as they followed the main force through a canyon that was a necessary passage, Ji You's brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

"Don't rush in; stop for a moment and find an opportunity to replenish with spirit stones."

"What's wrong?"

"I just suddenly feel that the movement of the evil corpses seems to have changed."

"Movement?"

Ji You looked around, a burst of golden light surging in his eyes.

The hour of Shen had passed, and there wasn't much daylight left around, plus the dense, surging corpse tide and the dust waves rolling toward the sky, making the surroundings blurry.

However, one thing was clear: the direction in which the evil corpses were rushing.

He had traveled across two states from Qingzhou back to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, and during that time, he had also gone to the Du and Bai families, facing countless surging corpse tides.

Just as he told the Long Xiandi, the way to control these Evil Seeds was actually very simple, basically just east, west, south, and north, letting them constantly rush back and forth to kill.

But just now, he felt that the direction of these Evil Seeds had changed, as if they were constantly tightening in a circle.

It wasn't that kind of control method anymore; it seemed like someone was manipulating them flexibly.

With a buzz in his brain, Ji You immediately intended to call a halt to the other teams around him, only to find that those people had already whistled away into the canyon.

But it didn't take long before they also suddenly slowed down, seemingly having noticed the strangeness in the movement of the Evil Seeds.

He Lingxiu, Shi Junhao, and Chai Ze looked at each other, secretly crushing spirit stones to continuously absorb the pure spiritual energy within, their gazes becoming slightly more cautious.

The previous guess was correct; they would indeed encounter resistance when approaching the ruins.

And the next moment, they discovered that the corpse tide in front of them had already piled up high walls of dozens of feet on all sides of the canyon.

In front of the surging corpse tide, which looked like black lines, dozens of imposing figures whistled over, their thick auras making the cliff walls around the canyon creak.

Their eyes were scarlet, but they were not Evil Seeds; they were people, leading the tide and coming, seemingly wanting to bury everyone here.

Feeling the aura at the forefront, everyone's expressions changed; they suddenly felt that this didn't seem like resistance, but more like an encirclement and annihilation.

"Faster, faster."

"This is already top speed..."

At this moment, on the border of Liangzhou, three managers were rushing over on a huge flying sword, constantly striking down the Evil Seeds rising into the air, their eyes hidden with uncontrollable shock.

Elder Yu's team had not returned for a long time, and they were worried, but they were afraid that this news would cause suspicion among the group, so they quietly went back to look for them.

Then they saw a small mountain of corpses, with the blood-stained immortal robes of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan piled together, looking particularly conspicuous amidst the black corpse tide.

All the disciples in the squad were dead, and the six elders holding the line had not been spared, their chests pierced with countless large holes.

Especially Elder Yu, whose half-body had been beaten into meat paste.

Then they realized that this team hadn't even walked far after dispersing.

There were not only Evil Seeds in the corpse tide; they had been followed from the moment they left the capital...

The most critical thing was that the enemy hiding in the dark, capable of killing six elders in a row, far exceeded their initial expectations.

The three managers used all their strength to drive the flying sword across the Liangzhou border, fearing that they would underestimate the enemy and misjudge their strength.

But next, they saw a large-scale corpse tide they had never seen before pressing down fiercely not far away, and their complexions changed drastically in an instant.

Behind that canyon was their originally scheduled next stop for rest, used to recover spiritual energy.

In other words, those who were surrounded by the corpse tide at this moment had all exhausted their spiritual energy in the charge of this trip and were now in a relatively weak state.

Pfft—

Amidst the frantic slaughter, the Liu family of Zhongzhou, who had come with the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, was wiped out in an instant, and the bursting blood mist directly dyed the row of Evil Seeds in front of the corpse tide a scarlet color.

Almost at the same time, the Wu family of Yunzhou was also torn into pieces of corpses.

The He family retreated rapidly under the protection of several Boundless Realm ancestors, but still suffered heavy losses.

Everyone's scalp went numb in an instant, discovering that the Evil Seeds rushing over were no longer ordinary Evil Seeds; the pressure on their bodies was simply suffocating.

The viscous blood gathered like a river, dripping continuously along the mountain walls; the bloody storm was no longer just a description at this moment, but had become something everyone saw with their own eyes.

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan elder responsible for holding the line reacted very quickly, directly suppressing them with great magic power, and the roaring techniques directly blocked the corpse tide.

The Spirit Travel Realm aura swept the scene, and the disciples of the Immortal Sects and noble families instantly felt a sense of peace.

But just as they intended to fight their way through the corpse tide, the dozens of people who had previously led the corpse tide suddenly exploded, their auras shooting straight into the sky, actually making those Spirit Travel Realm elders look horrified.

Boom!

A pair of large palms carrying infinite immortal light shook down, and the right side of the canyon was instantly shattered into corpses.

In fact, they had indeed anticipated the appearance of an ambush before, so they had never dared to easily use the spirit stones they carried, but they never thought that this ambush would come so precisely and be so powerful, disrupting all subsequent plans.

In the end, the Immortal Sect disciples who had been high and mighty for many years were too arrogant, feeling that they dominated the world and everything else was just ants.

So even though they realized that those behind the scenes would not sit and wait for death, they did not pay enough attention.

Only now did they discover that the strength of the opposite side completely exceeded their expectations.

And only then did they realize that this was not an enemy that could be guessed by ordinary cognition; this was a group of opponents who had been secretly seizing immortal fate for many years.

"Liu Tianhe..."

"Wang Jiaoxi Ge, long time no see."

Elder Ge was currently floating in the void, looking at the man who had shattered countless disciples with a flip of his palm, his eyes trembling uncontrollably.

More than thirty years ago, he had taught in the inner court and could be considered to have had students all over the world.

Wang Jiaoxi Ding of the outer court had been one of his students, and one with relatively good cultivation talent at that.

However, where there are those with good talent, there are naturally those with poor talent, and Liu Tianhe was that representative figure.

The Lower Three Realms are the Internal Body Realm, and the Upper Five Realms are the Heavenly Dao Realm, with great differences between them. This Liu Tianhe was clumsy in his perception of the Heavenly Dao; after reaching Profound Understanding, he struggled in the academy for five years, only to eventually leave in dejection.

The reason Elder Ge recognized him was that he was among the last batch of students he taught. After that, he entered the Elder Pavilion and never taught again.

And now, seeing him again, this foolish student of his already had a surging aura.

"You thief!"

"I have waited for this day for a long time. Look at my cultivation now; am I still that fool you could ridicule at will? I worked like a horse for you for many years, suffering all kinds of humiliation, and now I want you to pay with your life!"
