Mo Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know. Every now and then, someone comes here and takes away my blood and my vital energy!"
Lan Hua frowned. "They treated those three evil spirits the same way?"
Mo Fei shook his head. "Do you know how many stone pillars there are here?"
Lan Hua frowned slightly, sensing that this matter was not simple and had the feel of a secret experiment. She hoped it wasn't another biohazard crisis.
"There's a lot anyway!"
Mo Fei said, "Previously, each stone pillar here was bound to an evil spirit, most of which were at the Transformation Realm. They were almost all captured thirty years ago!"
"Not long after we arrived, the evil spirits disappeared one after another. Just a few days ago, several more were taken away, leaving only three evil spirits and me!"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "Do you know where these people come from?"
Perhaps he shook his head, unaware.
Lan Hua asked in surprise, "The Death Continent is sealed, so how were you able to come out and invade the Xuanhuang Continent?"
Mo Fei snorted, "It is indeed sealed, but there is still a way out!"
Baxia said, "Where are you? Tell me the truth!"
Mo Fei turned his face away and did not answer.
Baxia said, "Oh ho, you don't know how to be polite, huh? I'll beat you to death!"
Lan Hua stopped Ba Xia and said with a smile, "It's alright if you don't want to tell me, but you can at least tell me something about the situation on the Death Continent!"
Mo Fei's expression softened slightly, and he snorted, "After the war between the Four Emperors, the Death Continent was shattered. Less than one-tenth of the living beings survived that battle!"
Lan Hua frowned deeply, never expecting the outcome of that battle to be so terrible.
Mo Fei continued, "The terrifying energy fluctuations generated by the great battle not only turned many people into blood foam, leaving the ground covered in blood, but the foul air formed by the intertwined auras of the four emperors also caused countless lives to perish!"
"The surviving creatures were corrupted by the foul air, and their bodies mutated, thus giving rise to the evil spirits and mutant humans you speak of!"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "Then why did you invade the Eastern Region?"
Mo Fei smiled bitterly, "The infected creatures have an extremely low birth rate. The Death Continent has been sealed, but the foul air inside has never diminished. I'm afraid that in another thousand or ten thousand years, there will be no living beings left on the Death Continent!"
"The reason we came to the Xuanhuang Continent is simply to leave a spark of hope for the creatures on the Death Continent!"
Lan Hua was deeply shocked. Evil spirits and mutants were also living beings, and they also had the desire to survive.
Unfortunately, the Xuanhuang Continent could not accept them and regarded them as outsiders.
Lan Hua waved her right hand again, and a Heart-Devouring Talisman was imprinted into Mo Fei's body. However, the latter did not recognize the talisman, but he knew that this talisman was not simple.
"Kid, you don't believe me?"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "I believe you, but we should always have a backup plan, not only for you, but also for the people who arrested you!"
After saying this, Lan Hua led Ba Xia away from the stone chamber.
Not long after leaving the stone chamber, Baxia asked, "Brother Hua, did you really believe his nonsense?"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "His words are a mixture of truth and falsehood. If the creatures on the Death Continent are truly only concerned with survival, then the Immortal Talisman Sect would have no reason to exist!"
"I suspect that there are mutated creatures that simply want to survive, but not many! Most of them are war blocs who want to destroy the Xuanhuang Continent because of hatred!"
Baxia nodded, seemingly understanding.
"Brother Hua, what do we do now? This Killing Realm is so vast, with so many branching paths. Is there any way we can get out?"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "We've found such a hidden stone chamber. I think we're not far from the core area!"
The man and the dragon chose a side path, and before they had gone far, they came across another stone chamber.
The Yuan energy in the stone chamber fluctuated violently, and roars could be heard from time to time, seemingly filled with resentment and anger.
Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "This voice... it sounds like both a human and a demonic beast!"
"Yeah, that was a scary sound!"
Baxia said, "Why don't we go in and take a look?"
Lan Hua nodded slightly.
Upon entering the stone chamber, Lan Hua and Ba Xia's expressions changed drastically, and their hair stood on end.
Inside the stone chamber was an old man dressed in the attire of the Fengyue Sect, who was currently bound by two chains as thick as his thighs.
He was more like an old monster than an old man, much taller than the average person, with bulging veins on his arms, unlike any ordinary person.
It had no hair on its head, revealing two sharp fangs, a protruding forehead, bloodshot eyes, and dry, brittle skin, like a mummified corpse.
roar!
The old monster roared at Lan Hua, revealing an extremely pale tongue with festering holes on it.
The chains gleamed with gold, and there were restrictive restrictions on them.
However, the restriction seemed to be weakening, and the golden light was gradually dimming, soon unable to suppress the old monster.
Lan Hua and Ba Xia were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They awkwardly waved to the old monster as a greeting, and then slowly retreated outside the stone chamber.
"Sorry to disturb your rest, I'll be leaving now!"
Just as the two stepped outside, the old monster suddenly shuddered, breaking the chains and rushing out the door.
"My goodness!"
Baxia was startled and leaped onto Lanhua's shoulder. Lanhua quickly turned and flew away, not caring which way he went.
That old monster was incredibly powerful; Lan Hua couldn't see through him at a glance, but he was at least at the Dan Shen realm.
"This is truly strange. How can there be so many powerful beings in the Killing Realm? Isn't it said that it's almost impossible to see a Core God Realm expert? How come I've encountered two in a row today!"
Baxia grabbed Lan Hua's hair and said, "Brother Hua, is that old monster human or demon? I can smell a trace of evil spirit!"
Lan Hua chose a path and rushed over before saying, "Look at his clothes, they're tattered and worn. They couldn't have been worn that badly in less than a few decades!"
"This person is very likely Li Xunhai, the previous sect leader of the Fengyue Sect!"
Lan Hua was very confused. As she ran, she thought about Ba Xia's words. He was clearly a human being, so why did he look like a ghost and have the aura of an evil spirit?
As a dragon's son, Baxia possessed an extremely keen sense of smell, so his judgment was certainly not wrong.
"Could it be that these people at the Killing Realm are really doing something shady, forcibly merging human experts with evil spirits?"
Lan Hua cursed, "This is too cruel! What kind of experiment is this?"
boom...
The old monster, relentlessly pursuing from behind, kept waving his hands, unleashing one claw after another towards Lan Hua.
Lan Hua dared not be careless and used the Flowing Light Step to dodge left and right in the narrow passage.
The terrifying claw blades slammed into the stone wall, leaving deep marks and blasting out countless fragments.
Baxia said urgently, "Brother Hua, hurry up, we're almost there!"
Lan Hua summoned a bow and a talisman arrow, swung the bow in mid-air, and unleashed a powerful strike. The talisman arrow whistled as it shot out, striking the fleeing old monster squarely.
boom!
The arrow was blocked by the old monster's arms, but it did not pierce through his arms, leaving only a red mark. The arrow was also bent by the impact.
Lan Hua was taken aback, not expecting the old monster to have such a strong physique, no less than that of a demon beast in the Dan Shen realm.
Although he was only at the fifth level of the Danxia Realm, his arrows, enhanced by the Invisible Arrow Technique and the Piercing Bow, were so powerful that even a Dan Shen Realm cultivator would not dare to catch them barehanded.
However, the powerful arrow forced the old monster back, giving Lan Hua a chance to escape.
"Damn, how is this old monster so strong?" Lan Hua quickly made a run for it.
