Chapter 32: Forest of Monsters
On the mountain road more than 20 kilometers away from Baihua Valley, Hua Wu Yue and others looked in the direction of Baihua Valley, covering their mouths and shedding tears.
They couldn't see clearly what was happening, but there was a natural disaster in Baihua Valley, then there was a huge sword fight, and finally there was a tornado. They all understood that under such power, Baihua Valley would definitely be destroyed.
That is where they were born and where they have practiced for decades.
Although no one has ever seen the purple sword light, everyone has heard from their elders about the power of the Purple River Immortal Sword. They can also see that the purple sword light crushes the colorful sword light of the Hundred Flowers lineage. It is not difficult to imagine the ending.
Hua Wu Yue clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Let's go, you are the last seeds of the Hundred Flowers. As long as you are here, the Hundred Flowers will be here."
Zhou An couldn't calm down for a long time when watching this scene. As an Earthling, many of his concepts are different from those of the ascetics in this world.
He didn't understand why they had predicted this disaster, but instead of trying to remedy the situation, they chose to wait for death.
On Earth, there is always the saying that man can conquer nature, but in this world, it seems that ascetics will not think of changing the calculated fate. Instead, everything they do is like preparing for their own funeral.
Zhou An really didn't understand, so he walked over to Hua Wu Yue and asked, "Since you know the outcome, why don't you flee? It's better to stay alive and have something to burn."
Hua Wu Yue continued walking without looking at him, but still answered: "You have just entered the world of immortal cultivation, so you don't understand what fate is. If we escape, Zihe Demon Lord will chase us all the way, and no grass will grow wherever he passes.
Not to mention how many of us can escape the pursuit of Purple River Demon Lord, even if we can escape, the longer it takes, the more lives will die because of us, and then no one can escape the cause and effect, and when the heavenly calamity comes, everyone will be shattered. "
Zhou An said in disbelief: "This doesn't make sense. Those were killed by Purple River Demon Lord. Why should it be blamed on you? Is it wrong to run away?"
"Right or wrong? Haha, only mortals can talk about right or wrong. Cultivators comprehend the way of heaven. Under the way of heaven, all things are absolutely equal, whether they are humans, demons, monsters, beasts, or even flowers and grass. The grudges between us are personal matters. As long as you do something that harms the people, it will be counted on the people involved.
Zihe Demon Lord has a high level of cultivation and has a magical treasure to protect him. Apart from the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, nothing can do anything to him. In addition, he is already a demon, so he will not have any inner demons.
But we are different. Ascetics are walking on thin ice. If we are not careful, we will turn into ashes, or be controlled by the inner demons and turn into demons to slaughter the people. "Hua Wu Yue said with gritted teeth.
"Then the demon is invincible?" Zhou An asked.
“After the devil has accumulated a certain amount of karma, it will be punished by heaven and turned into ashes, with its soul scattered.” Hua Wu Yue said.
Zhou An sighed. Now he had some understanding of cultivating immortals. It was really extremely dangerous. No wonder most of the immortal cultivators lived in seclusion in the mountains. No one wanted to be involved in cause and effect, and they were so afraid of the inner demons.
However, the cultivation of Taoism requires the experience of the secular world before one can comprehend the Way of Heaven. Heaven really throws the cultivators into the sea of suffering, and those who can finally walk out of it are probably rare in a hundred years.
Zhou An was also shocked by the cruelty of the immortal world. He remained silent, wondering what would happen if he experienced a heavenly tribulation.
There are all new flower spirits here, almost all of them are in the acquired realm, and only a few can control flying swords. As for the only one in the innate realm, Hua Wu Yue can only use light skills to travel.
As everyone was silently using Qinggong to hurry on their way, suddenly a black stream of light in the distance flew away, and the purple stream of light actually flew towards them.
Hua Wu Yue panicked and shouted quickly: "He may have discovered us. We will definitely be discovered if we take the main road. Let's go to the direction of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest."
"Big Sister, the Ten Thousand Demon Forest is the territory of the Ten Thousand Demon King. We will definitely be captured if we go there!" a flower spirit said worriedly.
"There are some little demons at the edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, and almost none of them are at the innate level. If we are discovered by Demon Lord Zihe, we will surely die." Hua Wu Yue really had no other choice. Now everything was beyond their expectations.
Fortunately, the Purple River Demon Lord did not discover it, but was searching in the direction.
Hua Wu Yue led a group of people through the woods and came to the edge of the poisonous swamp outside the Ten Thousand Demons Forest. There was a faint dark green mist all around the swamp.
She stopped everyone and said, "The marsh gas here is poisonous. The poison has little effect on us flower spirits. Zhou Nan, you need to use your true qi to protect your body. The poison gas will also corrode your skin. There are also scale monsters living here. Don't provoke them. We just need to pass through quickly."
"I understand." Zhou An nodded. He had Hundred Poison Pearls on him, and this poison could not get within three feet of him.
"Follow my footsteps." Hua Wu Yue leaped over, lightly tapped the surface of the swamp with his toes, and leaped over easily.
After all, it is a sect of immortals, and all of them are flower spirits. Their lightness skills are unmatched by the martial arts sects. The swamp is not really dangerous to them.
But when more than fifty of them arrived at the center of the swamp, a group of scale monsters suddenly emerged from below and spit venom at them.
Hua Wu Yue made a sword gesture with his hands, and dozens of purple butterfly-like flowers flew out from his side, spreading out rapidly and killing the sneak attacking scale monster.
Several flower spirits who possessed the sacred wood sword also released flying swords to attack. With the flying swords, these scale monsters did not dare to launch a sneak attack and quickly dived back into the swamp.
The scale monsters here are low-level monsters that can only deal with heroes in the martial arts world. They dare not deal with cultivators.
They had just crossed the swamp when suddenly a purple light flew past from the sky behind them. Fortunately, the tree canopy blocked the view, and the Purple River Demon Lord did not know how to search, so he could only rely on his own senses to find it.
"He's coming. We can't run anymore. He discovered us when we took action just now." Hua Wu Yue was familiar with this place. He led them to a wet cave on the right and asked everyone to hide.
As soon as they entered, the Purple River Demon Lord floated above the swamp and sensed some fluctuations of true energy left by the flower spirits here.
The scaly monsters here knew that the monstrous evil energy of the Purple River Demon Lord was all at the bottom of the swamp, and they didn't even dare to bubble up.
Unfortunately, the battle was fleeting and the aura was weak, so he could only determine the approximate direction.
In the damp cave, Zhou An immediately sat down and practiced his internal energy to refine the sacred wood sword so that he could perform the sword-controlling technique.
He doesn't need to refine the sacred wood sword to a certain degree, as long as it can be used.
After waiting for about half an hour, Hua Wu Yue walked to the cave entrance to see what was happening outside, and then said, "He is chasing me. You take the money to Qianjing. Yingchun, Bailanyu, Ziyulan, and Qionghua, you are all already at the tenth level of the acquired realm. When I'm not around, you will lead everyone to rebuild the Baihua Tower."
"Big Sister, let's go together. You are the master of Hundred Flowers now. Without you, how can we flower spirits survive in Qianjing? Although the big sects have friendships with us Hundred Flowers, many independent cultivators still capture demon spirits to practice." These disciples became panicked.
“No, you won’t be able to survive in the Forest of Ten Thousand Monsters if you follow us, and with so many people, we’ll definitely be discovered by Purple River Demon Lord. His target is me. You were all born within a hundred years and have obtained flower spirits. Purple River Demon Lord doesn’t recognize you, and as long as you’re not with me, he won’t attack you even if he sees you.
There is no time to be pretentious now. The Hundred Flower Valley is in great trouble. Everyone must show courage and grow up in order to rebuild the Hundred Flower Valley." Hua Wu Yue scolded and handed the brocade bag containing money to Bai Yulan.
Zhou An took out a token and handed it to one of them, saying, "This is the token of the Jinyiwei. If you encounter trouble in Qianjing, take this out and go to the commander-in-chief Zhou Lingsha and tell her that Zhou Nan gave it to you, and she will help you solve the problem."
"Do you know the Jinyiwei?" Hua Wu Yue was surprised.
"Well, I have a lot of money and she is greedy, so we became acquainted." Zhou An smiled.
"I am so grateful for your kindness. This thing is really useful to us. I, Hua Wu Yue, will definitely repay you for this kindness. You should leave with my nephew." Hua Wu Yue said.
Zhou An shook his head and said, "I just need to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest to do some business, so I won't stay any longer."
"Are you a human going to the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons to die? You are only at the first level of the innate realm. There are many monsters living in the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, and quite a few of them are at the innate level." Hua Wu Yue frowned. Zhou An had done them a favor, so he kindly reminded them.
"I'll be careful. See you then." Zhou An said goodbye to them and ran into the woods.
Hua Wu Yue sighed. She didn't have time to pay attention to others now. She asked her fellow disciples to leave the Ten Thousand Demons Forest. She herself mounted her flying sword and flew over the Ten Thousand Demons Forest, deliberately attracting the attention of the Purple River Demon Lord.
