Just as the old tree spirit said, that mountain was lush and picturesque, filled with spiritual energy, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
Dugu Qiusheng took a few deep breaths, feeling that if he could cultivate here, he would definitely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm very soon.
Liu Yi's cultivation has now reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, while he is still struggling to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Perhaps by the time Liu Yi breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he will still be lingering in the Core Formation Realm.
“There are quite a few people,” Shangguan Hongyu said in a low voice.
Bian Lang frowned and said, "There are still quite a few dead people."
This alone seems to prove that the old tree spirit was not lying.
"They even have a barrier set up; they must be up to no good," Shangguan Hongyu said angrily.
Bian Lang said, "Forcibly breaking through will only alert the enemy."
"This kind of low-level barrier is easy to pass through, and it definitely won't alert those guys inside." Shangguan Hongyu was very confident about this.
She immediately raised her hand, and vines shot out from her palm, piercing straight through the barrier.
The next moment, another vine wrapped around Bian Lang and the others, and in a flash they were on the other side of the barrier.
The barrier remained completely still throughout the entire process.
After entering the barrier, Liu Yi and Dugu Qiusheng could also sense the presence of a large number of people.
But what chilled them even more was the stench of rotting corpses.
Following the scent of the decaying corpse, they soon arrived at a deep ditch.
The dead were thrown into this deep ditch.
Some of the corpses had decomposed into bare bones, some were crawling with maggots, and others were clearly just thrown over there, with blood still seeping from their wounds.
Judging from the clothes on these corpses, they were clearly ordinary people from the surrounding area.
Seeing this scene now is enough to prove that what the old tree spirit said is true.
Liu Yi gritted her teeth and said, "I never imagined that humans could be more terrifying than demons."
"Actually, it's all the same. As long as they are evil people, they are capable of doing any heinous thing." Shangguan Hongyu has witnessed too many such scenes in the past ten thousand years.
The same applies to Bian Lang.
They had long assumed that they had seen it all before, and that even if they encountered it again, they wouldn't feel anything special.
But the reality is that every time they encounter it, it ignites their anger, making them want to eradicate the demon completely.
Deep in the mountains, many people are working hard.
Judging from the houses that have already been built, it's clear that the demon hunters intend to construct a fortified city here.
To complete such a massive project requires an enormous amount of manpower and financial resources, which explains why the people from all directions are being driven to the brink of starvation.
They then discovered several more ditches nearby where bodies had been dumped, and these ditches were almost entirely filled with corpses.
Countless innocent civilians have died tragically because of this project.
"If we don't kill them all, it's really..." Shangguan Hongyu's eyes were spitting fire.
Although the people here are not citizens of her empire, in her view, all ordinary people under heaven are the same and need to be well protected, not wantonly enslaved and slaughtered.
Bian Lang said, "Don't worry, now that we've run into them, we certainly won't let these villains escape."
A few demon hunters are able to enslave so many ordinary people.
If all demon hunters are this evil, then the people living on this land might as well just end their own lives. After all, there's no point in living, so it's better to just die.
The group's entry into the construction site quickly attracted the attention of the supervisor.
Those people quickly came down, their gazes extremely hostile.
"Who's the leader among you?" Shangguan Hongyu asked in a cold voice.
A fairly handsome man frowned and asked, "Who are you people?"
"How did you get in?" another person immediately asked.
To enter this mountain, one must pass through a protective barrier; outsiders cannot enter silently.
Even if a powerful person manages to break through the barrier and enter, it will cause the barrier to tremble, thus alerting them.
Liu Yi suddenly drew her sword and killed the two men with a single strike.
Liu Yi felt there was no need to waste words with this kind of person; she should just kill him.
In any case, once the henchmen are eliminated, the true leader will naturally appear.
"Liu Yi, I really like your way of doing things." Shangguan Hongyu's words came from the bottom of her heart.
Sometimes, she wants to be more assertive and decisive, but when it comes to doing things, she still overthinks and becomes indecisive.
Shangguan Hongyu felt that she should learn a lot from Liu Yi's decisive and ruthless nature.
When the two men were killed, the people working nearby all just turned their heads to look at them, and then continued to work.
It's as if the massacre happening here has nothing to do with them.
But most likely they have become numb, seeing death every day and facing the possibility of death every day.
It's really nothing special that only two people died.
Ignoring the common people, the group continued their ascent to the mountaintop.
If anyone blocks my path with a sword, I kill them without saying a word.
In an instant, they had reached the top of the mountain.
There were only three people on the mountaintop, gathered together drinking.
Judging from their complexions, they were clearly quite drunk.
These three are undoubtedly the true demon hunters.
"Which mountain are you from?" Shangguan Hongyu asked in a cold voice.
The three people looked over upon hearing the sound, and their eyes immediately lit up.
Both Shangguan Hongyu and Liu Yi were beauties they had never seen before.
The women captured from the village, even the young girls who were only twelve or thirteen, could not compare to these two beauties.
