Chapter Seventy-Five Sudden End

  A gentle breeze blew by, and the pungent smell of blood wafted for dozens of miles. If it weren't for the fact that all the ferocious beasts in the vicinity had gathered here, a terrifying beast war would probably be brewing.

  Having lost their divine connection, they are left with a bestial excess of rational intelligence; drawn to the scent of blood, they will completely lose all reason.

  "Let's go," said Xiao Gu, leading the way at the top of the cliff, with a little guy by his side. Gu Changqing and others also brought their own barbarian beast cubs.

  Everything here no longer needs Xiao Gu and others!

  The wails continued unabated. What was once a powerful cultivator now seemed as fragile as an ordinary person, unable to even resist in the face of the beast tide.

  It seems like total annihilation is already inevitable!

  Originally over a thousand strong, now less than three hundred people are left, and even they won't be able to hold on for much longer.

  The breath of death is spreading, and many cultivators are almost in despair.

  For them, there had never been a moment so desperate, as if the whole world had abandoned them, facing the terrifying beasts, they were like infants.

  Pffft! A cultivator was cut in half at the waist, his internal organs flying everywhere, yet he still lived, barely clinging to life.

  Another powerful warrior was trampled into a pulp by a giant foot, his body and spirit completely destroyed.

  No, with a scream of agony, blood rained down, and someone was torn in two.

  ……

  All sorts of miserable conditions are hard to describe, and the small canyon is like a human hell.

  At this point, not only many ordinary cultivators, but even the powerful ones who had been crowned kings couldn't help but feel despair. These barbaric beasts were too powerful, and so far it had been a complete and utter slaughter, with no power to resist.

  Perhaps when facing an enemy, they have the courage to fight back, even if it's against someone stronger than them. But when this enemy is so strong that there's no way to defeat them no matter what, despair will naturally be born.

  However, things are not always as expected, and just as Xiao Gu and others were about to leave, a sudden change occurred!

  An intangible and eerie fluctuation suddenly radiated from the center of the desolate island to all directions, with its aura sweeping across the entire sky like a wave.

  This turbulent speed was terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, it had already extended to a radius of ten thousand miles. However, what was strange was that this aura actually didn't have any impact on the Barbarian Island and the numerous barbaric beasts.

  Until I met you!

  Anything encountered by the cultivator would instantly disappear, as if shattered or swallowed in an instant.

  The cultivators in the canyon were no exception, and in an instant, these nearly desperate strongmen disappeared into thin air.

  Xiao Gu and others also lost consciousness in a state of complete unpreparedness!

  At the same time, all the cultivators on the entire Barbaric Island disappeared, and their barbarian beast cubs also disappeared together!

  ……

  Shi Wang City is a small city in the northeastern corner of the immortal realm, a barren land. It is said that a supreme ruler known as Shi Wang was born here, hence its name.

  This place is in a lawless zone, not belonging to any of the seven major supreme sects, with fish and dragons mixed together, fighting everywhere, bloody incidents happening every day, extremely chaotic.

  On this day, a young man in a green robe came here leisurely.

  This is a young man with a strong scholarly aura, a lazy and unruly face, a slender figure, and a head of flowing long hair, making him look out of place among the cultivators here.

  Especially with a palm-sized turtle on his shoulder and a strange beast following him, many people couldn't help but focus their attention on him.

  Such an eye-catching shape is naturally Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba, as well as the little guy who has changed his face!

  "Old Wang Ba, I heard that Shi Wang City had a king in the past, known as Shi Wang. Is it true?" asked Xiao Gu casually while walking on the not-so-wide street.

  "What a crappy Stone King, never heard of it," Old Wang said with disdain, shaking his head.

  Xiao Gu rubbed his nose and didn't say anything else.

  This time the sudden change in the wilderness island made Old Wang regretful, punching his chest and stomping his feet, unable to find as many good things as possible. No one expected that this time would end so abruptly and hastily, with many people regretting it, of course, there were also many people celebrating!

  Just like Sheng Tianwang and others!

  Now Xiao Gu has also slightly changed his appearance, and even he dares not reveal his true face at will.

  To be blunt, at this moment in the entire immortal realm, it's no surprise that there are probably wanted posters with his portrait on them.

  Hundreds and thousands of major forces are jointly wanted, including even several top-notch sects. It can be said that the major forces in the immortal world are all in action!

  After all, the treasure Xiao Gu got was really hard to resist!

  The small Shi Wang City appears to be very prosperous and bustling, on this chaotic land, only the city is not allowed to fight, which provides a safe place for countless people, and everyone will consciously abide by it.

  Of course, this is also related to the strength of the city lord!

  "Thousand-year ginseng sold, genuine goods at a fair price, no cheating of the young or old..."

  "Baozi, donkey meat baozi, dragon meat in heaven, donkey meat on earth, can't miss it when passing by, come and take a look and have a taste..."

  "Divine soldier, top-grade divine soldier, requires a spiritual medicine in exchange..."

  "Ancestral recipe, magic medicine for injuries, Dog Skin Plaster is a must-have for your home and travel, robbery and burglary..."

  ……

  The bustling street had reached its peak, with all sorts of vendors' cries filling the air, giving Xiao Gu a feeling of returning to the mortal world.

  Perhaps, for some cultivators, such an environment is too noisy and affects their cultivation. However, for Xiao Gu, this is indeed a cherished memory that cannot be given up, even if he has now entered the immortal realm, his nostalgia for the mortal world will not diminish.

  Xiangbo walked towards a wine building, Xiao Gu ordered two small dishes, and they sipped slowly.

  "I heard that Zhenzong is going to recruit new disciples again, this time I must go and give it a try."

  "Is it? Must go, can't miss..."

  It is said that wine houses are the most informed places, and indeed it is true. In a short while, Xiao Gu heard the information he wanted to pay attention to.

  This sect is called Shen Zong!

  Nowadays, Xiao Gu is being hunted by countless powerful forces. Even if he changes his appearance, he doesn't dare to act recklessly. To blend in with the immortal world and understand it, joining a sect is undoubtedly the best choice.

  "This brother, since you've come to our place for the first time, let me ask, is your Shenzong powerful?" Xiao Gu stood up and walked in front of the two men who were speaking, with a slight smile.

  "Of course, Shen Zong is one of the strongest powers in this chaotic world," one of them looked up at Xiao Gu with a hint of reverence.

  "Oh, where is the place where Shen Zong recruits disciples? When does it start?"

  "Three days later, for a period of three days, at Beast Mountain thirty miles east of the city," another person said after taking a sip of wine.

  "Thank you," Xiao Gu invited Old Wang Ba and Little Guy to leave, and when settling the bill, he also paid for the two men's drinks.

  Something like last time's embarrassing situation of having no money to pay the bill can't happen again, Xiao Gu got a lot from the dead cultivator.

  Leaving the wine building, Xiao Gu decided to go to Beast Mountain thirty miles away first. Anyway, for him, there was nothing to do temporarily, and it wasn't easy to return to the mortal world either.

  A distance of thirty li was nothing more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea for Xiao Gu.

  However, what Xiao Gu saw at Beast Mountain was a shocking scene.

  A sea of people!

  At the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of monks crowded together, densely packed, and even finding a place to put their feet was difficult.

  This made Xiao Gu quite depressed, and he had no choice but to find a slightly secluded place to sit down and wait.

  The number of practitioners is still increasing, but no one has entered the Beast Mountain Range!

  The so-called Beast Mountain is actually a vast mountain range, where countless ferocious beasts reside. Although their strength is not formidable, as a trial ground, it's not that easy to pass through either.

  In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash, and the trial was about to begin. Xiao Gu also learned the specific content of the trial from the casual conversations of the cultivators around him.

  A very simple trial, within a day, cross this mountain range and reach the other end, the first trial is considered passed.

  This seemingly simple trial stops nine out of ten cultivators and countless others lose their lives in it.

  After all, the cultivation of ordinary cultivators is barely enough to transcend one level of mortality. Even if they act at full speed, it would take a whole day to reach the other end, not to mention being blocked by ferocious beasts!

  Of course, the most terrifying is still the trial!

  In mountain ranges, flying mounts are not allowed, unless they were caught during trials.

  At the same time, teleportation scrolls cannot be used, and of course, there are only a few people who own them!
