With Hu Tianzong's "living map", Ye Feng's next trip became much smoother.
Hu Tianzong is indeed a casual cultivator who has been licking blood all year round. He is extremely experienced and can always avoid the territory of some powerful monsters in advance and find a relatively safe path. Along the way, he also kept talking to Ye Feng about various strange things in the secret realm, as well as the gossip of the major forces.
The Immortal King has broken through a small realm! But that thing is very fast and can spray poison. Last time, an elder from the Taiyi Immortal Sect led a team to catch him, but he was sprayed with poison and his face was swollen like his mother, hahaha!"
"There is also the river over there, called the "Wangchuan River". The water in the river can wash away the soul, but if you soak in it for a long time, you will even forget your own last name. There was a saint in Zixiao Holy Land. She was heartbroken and couldn't think about it, so she jumped in to wash away her emotional pain. After she fished it out, she would call everyone daddy when she saw her, which became a joke in the fairy world..."
Ye Feng listened to Hu Tianzong's casual thoughts, but he didn't feel annoyed at all. This kind of fireworks coming from the market made his tense nerves relax a little.
Occasionally, if he encounters blind monsters or monks who are trying to harm his way, Ye Feng doesn’t need to take action at all. Hu Tianzong can solve them with three strikes, five strikes, and two additions. Of course, this was mainly because Ye Feng was by his side and gave him great courage.
A few days later, the two finally arrived at the "Sword Tomb" marked on the map.
As soon as he stepped into this area, an extremely sharp aura hit his face, causing his skin to hurt.
Looking around, this is a vast wilderness. The ground is covered with all kinds of broken weapons, knives, spears, swords, halberds... all rusty and spiritually lost, as if they are telling the story of a protracted and tragic war.
The entire world is filled with an unyielding fighting spirit and sadness.
"My dear...how many people must have died." Hu Tianzong smacked his lips, his eyes full of shock.
Ye Feng looked across the weapons cemetery and towards the center of the wasteland.
There, a huge stone sword hilt rose from the earth and reached into the sky. The hilt of the sword was simple and unpretentious, covered with carvings of time, but it exuded a majestic sword intent that suppressed the world.
Just looking at it makes people feel like their souls are being torn apart by the invisible sword intent.
"That's the center of the Sword Tomb!" Hu Tianzong pointed at the huge hilt excitedly, "The Star Sword may be there!"
At this moment, a large number of monks have gathered around the Sword Tomb. They were in small groups, belonging to different forces, and faced each other vigilantly. No one dared to take the lead.
Ye Feng's eyes swept through the crowd and soon found many familiar faces. Taiyi Immortal Sect, Zixiao Holy Land...these names that I heard in the restaurant all sent out powerful lineups, and the leaders were all strong men from the Immortal Queen stage or even the peak.
On an inconspicuous ridge, Ye Feng once again saw the man wearing a green shirt and holding a wine gourd, Shangguan Yu.
He was still alone, looking on coldly, as if the treasures and disputes in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"There are so many masters..." Hu Tianzong swallowed, a little frightened, "Brother Ye, are we...still going there?"
"We are all here, so of course we have to take a look." Ye Feng said lightly.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.
A burly man from the "Ba Dao Sect" obviously couldn't bear it any longer. He roared wildly, with muscles all over his body. He held a broad sword like a door panel and was the first to rush towards the huge stone hilt.
"Hahaha! The imperial weapon belongs to me!"
However, as soon as he rushed out of a hundred feet, a sudden change occurred!
Buzz——!
Thousands of broken weapons stuck on the ground, as if they had received some kind of summons, all made a buzzing sound. The next moment, streaks of gray sword energy visible to the naked eye soared into the sky from the weapons, intertwined into an overwhelming net, and strangled the burly man.
"Not good!"
The burly man's face changed drastically. Without thinking, he placed the broad knife in his hand across his chest and mobilized all the immortal energy in his body to defend himself.
Hi!
However, the seemingly ordinary gray sword energy was incredibly sharp. His broad sword, which was a high-grade immortal weapon, was cut into countless pieces instantly like tofu in front of the sword energy net.
"Ah——!"
The big man only had time to let out a scream, and his whole body was enveloped by the sword aura. Blood light burst out, and after the sword net passed, only a blur of flesh and blood was left on the spot.
A strong man in the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor was completely destroyed physically and mentally without even being able to hold a single breath!
The whole place was completely silent.
Everyone was frightened by this terrifying scene, and their faces turned pale. They were glad that they were not the ones who stood out.
"It's an ancient sword formation! These sword energies were triggered by the formation!" Someone exclaimed.
Ye Feng's brows frowned slightly.
With his great attainments in the Dayan Star Formation, he could tell something was wrong at a glance. This is indeed a sword formation, but the operation of the formation is a bit awkward and deliberate. It doesn't look like it was formed naturally, but more like... someone is controlling it behind the scenes.
Moreover, the huge stone sword hilt, although the sword was majestic, gave him a feeling of strength on the outside, like a gorgeous empty shell.
This is a trap.
A person who uses the imperial weapon as bait to attract everyone... to kill!
Just as Ye Feng's mind was spinning, a team wearing uniform black robes with star patterns embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs suddenly emerged from the crowd.
The leader has a sinister face, a hooked nose, and an unfathomable aura. He is clearly a strong man in the early stage of the Immortal Lord!
"Who are you? From the Xingji Immortal Dynasty!" Someone recognized the logo on their sleeves and shouted in horror.
"Correct answer, but unfortunately there is no reward." The hook-nosed Immortal Lord grinned, showing his white teeth, "Introduce yourself, I am the Xingji Immortal Dynasty, the Black Star Lord."
He clapped his hands, and dozens of black-robed monks behind him immediately dispersed, each occupying a position, and playing mysterious spells in their hands.
Boom!
The entire sword tomb trembled violently. The gray sword energy that originally strangled the powerful man from the Ba Dao Sect became even more violent and soared into the sky, forming a huge gray light shield that completely sealed off the land with a radius of thousands of miles!
All the monks present became caged birds.
"The Xingji Immortal Dynasty is so brave! Do you want to make the entire immortal world an enemy?" an elder of the Taiyi Immortal Sect shouted with a stern expression.
"Be enemies with the world?" Lord Black Star seemed to have heard the funniest joke, "No, no, no, you are wrong. If we kill you, who will know that we did it? The world will only know that you all died under the restrictions of the fairyland secret realm. And your flesh, blood and soul will become the best sacrifice to welcome the true arrival of the "Star Sword"!"
