Feiyun immediately ran back to the small village, wanting to take Nalan Xuejian and Luo Yu’er out of Endless Land. This place has become dangerous and it wasn’t because of the beasts nearby.
However, he smelled the stench of blood the moment he got back. Corpses were everywhere; all the villagers piled on top of each other. The streams nearby with the peach blossom petals have turned red.
A ma.s.sacre occurred here. The kind and friendly old men were laying in a pool of their own blood. One of them was still holding his tobacco pipe. The innocent children were dead too - pulverized and mangled by ma.s.sive energy waves. [1]
“They made it here this quickly? No, it’s people from Senluo.” Feiyun sensed the defining heretical energy on the corpses. It belonged to the merit laws from Senluo.
He became worried about the two girls. Their cultivation wasn’t bad but definitely not on the same level as these heretics. The consequences of being captured were dire.
His divine intents searched around the village but couldn’t find them. His heart sank down with anxiety.
‘Calm down, I gotta calm down.’ He tried his best to regain his composure.
‘I’ll flatten Senluo Temple if they dare to touch either one.’ He remembered something about injuring Formless after being taken over by Yama.
However, even a wounded Formless should be able to take care of regular cultivators. The girls should be fine with him around.
Feiyun tried his best to be optimistic. Alas, he knew that Formless wouldn’t be able to take on several Giants in his current state.
Senluo wouldn’t just use several Giants to infiltrate Endless Land.
He widened the search to several thousand miles. The girls were still nowhere to be found.
“They got them and left…” His expression sank as he put on the Nine-doves Gown and the Invisible Cloak.
He became invisible as he turned into a ray to fly out of Endless Land.
He knew that many people were looking for him. The best way to stay alive was to actually enter deeper into Endless Land, grasping a sliver of hope during times of peril. Alas, he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself if something were to happen to the two girls.
***
Outside of Endless Land at a medium-sized tribe of Jiang.
The tribe had more than ten thousand members but they were all hiding now. Their area has been taken over by a group of black-cloaked cultivators.
Just a random guy from this group could crush the strongest Jiang in the tribe to death. They naturally were from Senluo Temple.
This place has become a temporary headquarters for heretical cultivators. Outside of the four protectors who chased after Feiyun, more of them have arrived in preparation.
“Jia Sen, the two girls inside are as gorgeous as fairies, give me a four-thousand-year-old White Essence Gra.s.s and I’ll let you play with one of them.” The sixty-seventh protector revealed a smile on his old face and exerted an immense pressure. The two heretical guards outside the wooden door were forced on their knees.
This wooden hut was covered in formations erected by Giants and became a prison of steel. The sixty-seventh protector personally watched over it.
Nalan Xuejian and Luo Yu’er were imprisoned here after being captured.
The man named Jia Sen was the thirty-fifth protector of Senluo, an intermediate Giant looking around thirty years of age. He had a nine-headed silver snake coiling around his neck. All nine heads were visible and loudly flicking their tongue.
Jia Sen saw the two girls after they were brought back. He had cultivated for more than 300 years and tasted numerous beauties. He has taken in seven female disciples, all beautiful. A few daughters from famous clans were tasted by him too but none of them could compare to these two.
