Chapter 155 The Promise Xia Zhongnan Needs
At this time, Bai Ze came on a cloud and said, "The continuous fierce battles in the past two days have caused the death of many lives. I feel that the Ten Directions Blood Evil Formation has absorbed a large amount of blood power and is rapidly expanding. Not only that, the fog that shrouds the surroundings has also begun to transform into blood evil power. I am afraid that this immortal place is about to turn into a terrifying Shura purgatory. We must evacuate immediately, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find a way out."
As a cultivator who had personally experienced the "Ten Directions Blood Evil Formation", Xia Zhongnan, upon hearing what Bai Ze said, leaped into the air and looked in the direction of the bloody fog.
Xu Dejing, Lang Zhengfeng, Xiang Tianyu and many other monsters followed him and rose into the air. Among them, a powerful monster named Qiongqi flew to Xia Zhongnan's feet and carried him so that he could observe the changes in the fog more clearly.
Looking at the vast blood-red fog, all the people and monsters changed their expressions suddenly. Even those who knew nothing about it could sense the ominous meaning of this situation. The originally dark and boundless fog had now turned into a light red color, which made people feel nervous. What was even more terrifying was that the speed at which the fog spread was more than ten times faster than before.
Xiang Tianyu widened his eyes and asked in horror: "Is this the fog we passed through before? Why has it become so terrifying?" Although Xu Qian and others led him here, they did not tell him the details.
Lang Zhengfeng, a cultivator who had seen the "Ten Directions Blood Evil Formation", also felt uneasy at the moment and shouted, "This mist makes me feel more and more like the formation outside Feiyue Gorge! And judging from its power, it is probably far stronger than the one outside Feiyue Gorge."
Xia Zhongnan snorted coldly and said, "Yes, this is the real 'Ten Directions Blood Evil Formation'. At this rate of spread, it will only take one or two days for the entire Immortal Residence to be covered by it. By then, no living being that still stays here will be able to escape being devoured by it."
Xiang Tianyu was shocked and asked sternly, "How could such a dangerous thing exist in this immortal palace? Isn't the immortal master completely heartless and wants to bury all the lives in it?"
Xia Zhongnan replied: "The Immortal Lord did not invite us here. This place was originally peaceful as usual. It was because of our intrusion that triggered the defense formation in the Immortal Mansion."
Lang Zhengfeng said worriedly: "Brother Xia, what should we do now?"
Xia Zhongnan smiled calmly and replied, "This Immortal Mansion is actually part of the world of cultivation. It was isolated from the world of cultivation by the Immortal Lord using his supreme power. However, the original connection between the two has always existed, but the Immortal Lord has blocked the way back with countless powerful formations. We need to find the place where the formations are connected and use that passage to return to the world of cultivation."
Lang Zhengfeng asked anxiously: "It seems that we don't have much time left. Is it too late for us?"
Xia Zhongnan smiled confidently and said, "I have stayed here for a long time and have already found the passage, which happens to be in the core area of the fog. As long as we pass through this bloody fog and enter the passage, we can return to the world of cultivation. It's just a pity that there are still four branches in this fairy palace that I have not set foot in, which is a bit of a pity."
Lang Zhengfeng put away his solemn mood and sighed softly: "As soon as I stepped into this place, I was chased by several monks in the Tribulation Crossing Stage of the White Country, not to mention the opportunity to explore the secret treasures in the Immortal Mansion. I didn't even get a close look at the appearance of this fairyland. Now I am lucky enough to escape with my life. Whether it is fortunate or unfortunate is no longer important. The only thing is to save my life, which is the greatest karma and blessing."
After experiencing the baptism of life and death, he became much more indifferent to worldly affairs.
Xiang Tianyu finally understood the true situation here, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion and fear in his heart. If he hadn't worried about Xu Dejing that day and hadn't stopped Xu Dejing from entering the mist restriction, then Xu Dejing would naturally not have risked going to the strange beast secret realm to seek his help and leave. At that time, he would probably have inevitably perished in this mysterious fairy house. He never expected that his act of kindness would inadvertently free himself from the desperate situation.
Seeing the dense fog approaching, Lang Zhengfeng said in a deep voice: "Xiao Fei, there is no time to lose. Our first priority is to leave as soon as possible. Only when we are sure of our safety can we talk about other things."
However, Xia Zhongnan remained calm, staring at the mist for a moment before speaking: "You all understand, it is these strange beasts that have helped me a lot. If it weren't for them in this fairy palace, I would not be able to move forward. Now it seems that the fairy palace is no longer a place to stay for a long time, and those strange beasts have lost their homes and must follow me on the road to the world of cultivation.
However, the cultivation world is the territory of human cultivators. Once they appear, they will definitely be regarded as cultivation materials and hunted. Therefore, once they enter the cultivation world, they will always face the crisis of life and death.
If I lead you to leave this place safely, I hope you can keep the existence of these strange beasts a secret and give them a chance to survive."
When Xiang Tianyu heard this, his heart was shocked. He then remembered that if so many strange beasts really set foot in the world of cultivation, it would surely cause a mass slaughter by human cultivators. His experience in the secret realm of strange beasts was still fresh in his memory.
Obviously, the "you" Xia Zhongnan mentioned undoubtedly refers to himself, Xu Dejing and Lang Zhengfeng.
Lang Zhengfeng responded firmly: "I will never reveal a single word about this matter, so why do you doubt my loyalty?"
Xia Zhongnan replied: "I naturally believe in what you said, brother Lang, and I also look forward to your promises to the other two."
Xiang Tianyu responded, "If I am lucky enough to survive this immortal palace, I will keep the secret strictly and never reveal the matter of the strange beast to outsiders."
He didn't need to think too much about this issue. Since he still had to rely on Xia Zhongnan to escape from here, how could he possibly put forward any harsh conditions at this time?
Xia Zhongnan turned his gaze to Xu Dejing again.
Xu Dejing looked gloomy and asked in a rather dissatisfied tone: "Xia Zhongnan, have you ever thought about your own status? Are you still qualified to make demands on me?"
Xia Zhongnan responded calmly: "Although I have joined the Chifang Army, this does not mean that I will mortgage my fate to your Xu family. These more than one hundred beasts are all lives that I regard as my close friends. For their safety, I implore His Excellency the Governor to give me a solemn promise."
Cultivators take oaths very seriously. Once a promise is made, few people are willing to break it unless it is necessary. This is because it is related to the cultivation of the cultivator's mind and character. If you are not careful, it will have a serious impact on the improvement of your cultivation.
Xu Dejing asked: "What if I don't agree?"
Before Xia Zhongnan could reply, Xu Qian beside him had already shouted anxiously, "Father, just agree to Xia Zhongnan! These strange beasts once saved your daughter's life, how can you still be so cruel as to hurt them?"
