The four sea lords quickly chased after Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. When they got close, they saw that only a crack was left of the black hole created by the Broken Void Talisman.
The Third Sea Lord quickly reached his hand into the crack, trying to stop it from closing.
Seeing this, Zhan Yihan took out a magic sword and chopped it down.
A flash of sword light passed by, a broken arm fell, and the crack closed.
At the same time, the Golden Leaf Realm was also pulled into a beam of white light by the power of the Shattered Void Talisman.
Feeling the Golden Leaf Realm falling to the ground, Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan looked up and saw that the Golden Leaf Realm had fallen into a forest.
Using their spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, they saw no one in the forest. Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan had walked out of the Golden Leaf Realm. They didn't know where they had landed, nor which realm they were in, but since they were here, they could only make the best of it.
"Let's go over there." Zhan Yihan took Su Jinyue's hand and walked in one direction. They knew nothing about this interface, so they could only take one step at a time.
The forest was very quiet. There were no immortal beasts or monks, only the rustling sound of feet stepping on the ground.
After walking for a full half month, Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan finally walked out of the forest. What appeared before them was a dilapidated mountain villa.
"Help! Help!" A shout came from in front of Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan.
Looking up, I saw a woman with disheveled hair and a frightened face running towards Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan while shouting.
Seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, the woman showed a hint of surprise on her face, and ran quickly to Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, "Brother, sister, please save me, the immortal master wants to capture me and sacrifice me to the heaven."
"What's going on?" Su Jinyue asked.
"Our village has been suffering from drought for years. A while ago, a celestial master came and said that if we want rain, we must sacrifice ninety-nine young women to the heavens. I don't want to be sacrificed. Please save me." The woman looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan pleadingly. She didn't know if Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan could save her, but she didn't want to give up even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
"Where is this place?" Su Jinyue asked. Her biggest concern now was where the Shattered Void Talisman had taken them.
The woman was stunned. "This is Hengtian Realm." Aren't they from Hengtian Realm?
"Then why isn't there a trace of immortal energy flowing through you?" Su Jinyue asked. Hengtian Realm was one of the nine realms of the immortal realm, so there shouldn't be any mortals here. Furthermore, there wasn't even a trace of immortal energy here, so it was clearly not suitable for cultivation.
A trace of frustration crossed the woman's face. "My ancestor was originally a disciple of the sect. He found a divine partner and gave birth to my grandfather. Unexpectedly, my grandfather had no spiritual roots and was unsuitable for cultivation. So, he was sent to this Wuling Village. The villagers of Wuling Village, like my grandfather, lack spiritual roots. Over time, this place has become a place for mortals." She had her spiritual roots tested at birth, but like her father, mother, and grandfather, she had no spiritual roots. Therefore, she was doomed to be unable to cultivate.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan nodded. They had never thought that there was such a place in the fairy world.
There was a sound of footsteps. When the woman heard the footsteps, panic immediately appeared on her face. "They are chasing us. Please save me."
Two middle-aged men ran over from a distance. Seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes. They knew everyone in Wuling Village, but they had never seen this couple before. Could they be from outside? If they were from outside, they should also be immortal masters.
When they came in front of Su Jinyue and the other two, the two middle-aged men stopped, looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, and then looked at the woman behind them.
"Ye Zi, come back with us," one of the dark-skinned middle-aged men said. He didn't want to take Ye Zi back to offer sacrifices to the gods, but he had no other choice. There were too few young women in their village. Even with Ye Zi, there wouldn't be enough for ninety-nine people. If it didn't rain, everyone in their village would starve to death.
"Brother Aniu, Brother Dashan, please let me go. I don't want to be sacrificed to the gods." Ye Zi looked at the two middle-aged men pleadingly.
Dashan sighed and said, "Ye Zi, we had no choice. If we don't gather ninety-nine women, it won't rain and everyone in the village will starve to death." For the sake of the lives of the entire village, they had no choice but to harden their hearts.
"It's easy to rain." Zhan Yihan raised his hand and waved. Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky. Soon, rain began to fall like pouring rain.
“It’s raining, hahaha…”
"It's really raining. Our crops won't die of drought." Dashan and Aniu jumped, danced and laughed in the rain.
Ye Zi looked up at the sky, letting the raindrops hit her cheeks. Tears mixed with the rain kept sliding down. "It's raining. I don't have to die. Ah Hua and the others don't have to die either. It's great."
After a long moment, she looked towards Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, then knelt down before them. "Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan shook their heads and said, "Take us to your village." They wanted to see who would be so disregarding of human life and sacrifice ninety-nine innocent women to the gods.
