Minor injuries are easy to treat, but major injuries are difficult to heal.
After several days of treatment, their injuries had almost healed. Injuries that couldn't be fully healed would only waste time here. Qi Nuan looked at the edge of the sky, which was gradually breaking apart. It was time for them to leave.
The Heavenly Dao of this world can no longer wait.
"They're coming out..."
"No, I didn't see any of my sect's elders..."
When Qi Nuan and her group appeared outside the secret realm, the Demon Beast Forest was in complete disarray, with corpses strewn across the ground, including both demon beasts and cultivators. The Demon Beast Forest has always been an extremely dangerous place for cultivators, which is one of the reasons why very few cultivators venture into this secret realm alone.
It seems that most of the cultivators in this world have gathered here, and they have just fought a great battle with the demonic beasts.
Qi Nuan and the others didn't believe that all the cultivators in the world had come for the secret realm and to deal with the magical beasts in the magical beast forest.
There's only one possibility: they came because of them.
This must be another trick of fate.
The cultivators of the world had long been on high alert, waiting only for their appearance.
The scene was imposing and somewhat intimidating, but it didn't frighten them at all...
Just as the leader was about to speak, an arrow emitting a purple glow flew straight at him, striking him in the heart. The elder thus perished. A commotion erupted around them, and then a woman's voice rang out in the sky above them, cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Those who don't want to die can leave now. We don't make enemies of the world. Of course, if anyone has any designs on us, don't blame us for not sparing their lives."
Qi Nuan looked down at the people below. She knew what their purposes were. Some had their own agendas, some were so-called righteous people, and some were just being incited. But she didn't care to argue with them now. They only had one chance. Once they had it, it was up to them to see if they could seize it.
"As for why we know you've come, it's nothing more than the treasures in the secret realm, the secrets we possess, and the deaths of those people in the secret realm..."
"We can only say we won't offend others unless they offend us. As for the rest, we'll see if you have a second life..."
"When one is truly arrogant..."
He collapsed to the ground before he could finish speaking...
"You have five seconds to decide whether to stay or leave," Ye Sheng said, standing beside Qi Nuan and looking coldly at the crowd below.
The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. How had they managed to make their move without them noticing? The deceased was a well-known expert among them, yet she couldn't even withstand a single blow. Some were tempted to retreat, while others felt that such a powerful person should be eliminated. Some secretly thought this was an opportunity, while others chose to stand by and watch. For a moment, no one made a move.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. With so many of us, how could we be afraid of them? If we retreat today, what kind of cultivators would we be? We might as well go home and farm. Let's attack together. I don't believe they can still act so recklessly in the face of all the cultivators in the world." Someone shouted from the crowd, and everyone responded.
They unleashed a variety of spells together, attacking Qi Nuan and his companions.
Qi Nuan simply watched them coldly, gently waving her longbow, and several purple arrows shot towards the crowd like meteors.
After a series of screams, several more corpses appeared on the ground.
Seeing that Ye Sheng was about to make a move, Qi Nuan said, "Don't move, leave it to me, you should rest." She then said to Gu Yucheng, "Keep an eye on her."
Then, glancing at Jiang Yu, he laughed and said, "You see, I'm good at killing people. So you don't need to pity or worry. I, Qi Nuan, have never been a kind person, nor have I ever been soft-hearted."
As they spoke, another group of cultivators rushed over. Qi Nuan raised her bow and arrow high, her eyes cold and ruthless. In an instant, light shone everywhere, and blood filled the air.
However, Qi Nuan did not stop attacking. She knew that only by killing them to the point of fear would they be deterred from attacking them again.
Ye Sheng glanced at Jiang Yu, who stood to the side with a cold expression. Jiang Yu was dressed in a black robe, and the staff in his hand radiated a divine light. He was both alluring and holy, which gave Ye Sheng a slightly eerie feeling. However, she quickly ignored this strange feeling and turned to look at Qi Nuan.
The voice held both curiosity and provocation, "Won't Lord Xihe stop it? Or does Lord Xihe consider these people's lives as insignificant as ants?"
Jiang Yu did not answer her question, but instead looked at the woman who was constantly plucking the longbow.
Her agile figure tumbled and slithered through the air like a nimble serpent, beautiful yet deadly; anyone who tried to get close to her would be harmed by her venom.
Jiang Yu pursed her lips, her eyes growing increasingly dark, and before she knew it, a trickle of black blood was slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth.
He tightened his grip on the staff slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.
Only Gu Yucheng glanced at him thoughtfully before turning his gaze to the cultivators of this world.
Do gods have a heart of compassion?
Perhaps it exists, perhaps it doesn't; the mercy and love of the gods are mostly bestowed upon them by their believers.
Besides, they are not gods; they are merely mortals with a little more power than cultivators. Even gods have their biases, let alone mortals.
The passing of life did not stir any ripples in his heart, just as the demon beasts were to the cultivators, the cultivators to Qi Nuan and the others, and just as those who recklessly tread the void were to them.
He was merely his follower.
Perhaps his mission will eventually come to an end.
At that time, they were just like these cultivators and magical beasts; in the grand scheme of things and the long river of time, they were ants, insects that lived only a day and died at night.
As Gu Yucheng thought this, he got up and flew into the air. Ye Sheng was about to stop him when she saw him swing his long sword. Several beams of light flashed, thunder roared, and in an instant, the lives of hundreds of cultivators disappeared under his sword.
Clad in flowing white robes, the sleeve of his severed arm fluttered in the air, his expression indifferent, like an immortal, a god, or a demon.
At this moment, as Ye Sheng looked at him, a chill truly rose in her bones.
They always saw them as guardians of the void, believing they represented justice, but perhaps they were wrong all along.
She suddenly looked at Jiang Yu, only to see that his eyes were equally cold, as if these people had never even caught his eye.
Qi Nuan was somewhat surprised when she saw Gu Yucheng.
However, that slight surprise quickly became insignificant under his actions.
He brandished his longsword, and soon most of the cultivators present were gone. Some cultivators were so frightened by the horrifying sight that they fled in panic. Gu Yucheng and the others ignored those people.
A few breaths later, all the cultivators present had turned into a pile of flesh and blood. Gu Yucheng looked at Qi Nuan and smiled, "That's faster."
His smile gave Qi Nuan an indescribable feeling; although he appeared so dignified and serene, it sent chills down her spine.
She thought that perhaps killing wasn't her forte, but his.
Qi Nuan looked at Jiang Yu, only to see Jiang Yu smile at her, extend her hand, and beckon:
"come over."
