Under the dim sky, the earth appeared a dark yellow, barren of vegetation. From high above, the scene was both strange and terrifying.
Besides the vast expanse of yellow sand, countless pitch-black, enormous openings, resembling abysses, appeared densely across the land.
At this moment, on the edge of the desert, a dark mass of people gradually appeared on the horizon.
The wind howled, its chill mingling with the dim light of the sky, creating a desolate and barren atmosphere. Occasionally, it whipped up gusts of yellow sand, adding to the sense of impending doom.
Apart from the sound of the wind and the patter of sand, there was almost no other noise. A large group of people walked silently, the sand under their feet making a rustling sound.
Everyone's face bore a mixture of resentment and despair, with a lingering sense of disbelief.
There are several thousand people in total!
Their clothing varied, but it was clear that they were all wearing standard robes. Most of them were cultivators from sects, with only a small number being independent cultivators.
Surprisingly, they were all cultivators from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance!
They all seemed to be under some kind of restriction, their spiritual energy was weak, their magic power was stagnant and unable to operate, forming a protective aura to resist the endless yellow sand.
Like prisoners, they were escorted all the way here...
Hundreds of demonic cultivators were scattered around, guarding and escorting the cultivators of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
Just then, a strange movement was heard from the rear of the group.
One of the most talented disciples of the Yin Demon Sect, who was in charge of guarding this group of prisoners, looked back and his expression hardened slightly. He immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed over.
Upon approaching, Shang Yuan discovered several cultivators from the Five Elements Sect who, through some unknown means, had broken the restriction, regained their magical power, and were preparing to escape.
However, he was surrounded and killed by a group of demonic cultivators guarding the area, who killed him on the spot in a short period of time.
However, when Shang Yuan arrived and saw this scene, his expression darkened. He showed no satisfaction whatsoever. His face turned cold, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked at the group of demonic cultivators, a cold glint in his eyes.
In an instant, a surging aura emanated from him, pressing forward.
This instilled immense fear in the group of demonic cultivators, who trembled and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Shang Yuan's eyes.
"Foolish! With so many of you, do you really think you're afraid of these few useless members of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance? Just surround them and see if they dare to rebel!"
"Didn't I say we should leave as many survivors as possible? If there aren't enough people for the blood sacrifice, do you plan to fill the gaps yourself?"
Shang Yuan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left, coldly leaving behind the words: "If something like this happens again, you can all join in and be sacrificed in blood!"
...
…………
As the two activated the teleportation jade talisman, a mysterious power surged forth and gradually enveloped their entire bodies.
An irresistible, inexplicable force seemed to gradually emerge from the void, enveloping the two of them.
But in an instant, both the mysterious power emanating from the teleportation token and the powerful force spreading from the void seemed to encounter some kind of barrier, completely disappearing without a trace!
It was as if nothing had happened before.
The two looked terrified, staring in disbelief at the shattered teleportation tokens in their hands.
"How is this possible! This was a large-scale refinement personally crafted by a Nascent Soul Ancestor and a restriction carved by a Grand Array Master. How could it be like it encountered some kind of barrier and has no effect?"
Chen Xue said incredulously, her face filled with immense shock.
Lin Xiuyuan's face darkened, and he instantly thought of a possibility, saying slowly and deliberately, "Demonic cultivators?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xue remembered that Lin Xiuyuan had mentioned this matter to her before.
At the time, I thought it was just the demonic cultivators, probably planning another attack to plunder some opportunities.
But now... things might not be that simple!
Why are they trying to isolate the power of teleportation?
To wipe out all the cultivators of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance?
For a moment, Chen Xue thought of this possibility, and her face turned pale.
"Let's go." Lin Xiuyuan didn't think much about it. He wanted to leave this place first. Without the person in charge of the formation, it wouldn't last long.
"Let's find an abandoned nest to rest first, and then you can use the communication jade talisman to find out the situation. If something major has happened outside, it would be like walking into a trap if we went out rashly!"
Lin Xiuyuan picked up Chen Xue and quickly left through the passage.
Practice makes perfect, and Chen Xue naturally wrapped her arms around Lin Xiuyuan, letting him carry her forward, and nodded, saying, "Well, I'll contact the sect cultivators later to see what the situation is."
This underground passage is not just a single main passage going straight up and down. Like the many holes on the surface of a desert, it also contains many intricate passages that spread like a spider web through the underground space, leading to other main passages.
There were some abandoned nests along the way, but they were few and far between; we only found one along the previous route. Because the spiritual energy in those nests had weakened, the original demon beast groups had migrated, making it a good time for them to rest and recuperate.
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan led Chen Xue through the fork in the road to other main passages and found such an abandoned cave.
The blue streak of light sped past, moving swiftly through the passage.
The journey naturally attracted the attention of the monsters in their lairs, who chased after it.
However, it poses no threat to them.
Previously, there were many people coming down, and their speeds varied, making it easy to fall behind. They could only fight their way down.
But now there's no need to care about others; just focus on moving forward. Unless you encounter a fast-moving monster, you can speed past it and leave it behind, so there's nothing to worry about.
