Chapter 430 Bait and the Big Fish
Outside the Crimson Forest.
Three or four rogue cultivators dressed in black robes had arrived. They gazed at the blood-red forest ahead, their faces showing hesitation.
"Is this the Blood Forest? It is indeed eerie."
"A rogue cultivator murmured."
"Let's go, we're nearby. If we're late, we'll miss the opportunity."
Another rogue cultivator urged.
Without further hesitation, the group rushed towards the Blood Forest.
They were just wandering cultivators in the vicinity. Upon hearing the news that Huang Zi was hidden in the Crimson Forest, they rushed here as soon as possible.
Whether the news is true or not is not important to them; they have encountered this kind of fake news countless times.
But once they make the right choice, their path of cultivation will undergo a dramatic change.
All of them were demonic cultivators at the Warrior Realm, and their speed was extremely fast. In just over ten breaths, they rushed into the Crimson Forest.
Upon entering the Crimson Forest, they immediately noticed something amiss.
The rapidly dropping temperature and the dim light indicated that this place was extremely unusual, and gusts of cold wind blew in from somewhere, causing them to shiver involuntarily.
The group exchanged glances, and one of them, clearly sensing the eeriness of the place, immediately said:
"I won't be going this time. I wish you all the best."
After saying that, he rushed out the way he came without looking back and quickly disappeared from the sight of the others.
This person's decisiveness did not surprise the others. After all, those of them who were indecisive or unlucky would have died hundreds of times over.
After a few moments of silence, the remaining few continued walking forward. They had no other choice, because they were rogue cultivators, not the high and mighty demon palace cultivators. Without risking their lives, they had little chance of survival. In this chaotic land, their final fate was still death.
Not long after these people left, one of them suddenly whispered:
"Wait, look!"
The other two looked in the direction of the sound and found a familiar iron box lying quietly on the soft soil. It was none other than Huang Zi, who had recently become famous throughout the chaotic land!
"It really is Huang Zi!"
One of them was overjoyed, but he quickly distanced himself from the other two, then cautiously drew his magical weapon and held it to his chest, his eyes filled with vigilance.
"Damn, once we find the treasure, what's this box of yellow eggs?!"
"Brother Wang, you're being too cautious!"
The other two, though displeased, still spoke up.
The cultivator surnamed Wang chuckled, then waved his sleeve at the yellow seed on the ground. An invisible whirlwind swept the yellow seed into his hand and it landed steadily.
"Since you two fellow Daoists are so disdainful, then I will accept this box for now."
After saying that, the cultivator surnamed Wang ignored the two people's reactions and rushed into the depths of the forest, disappearing in an instant.
The other two cursed under their breath upon seeing this, and immediately followed the cultivator surnamed Wang, rushing forward.
But the next moment, a scream suddenly came from the direction they disappeared in, followed by a strange laugh from the woods.
“Hehehe…”
This scene was unfolding in various parts of the Crimson Forest, with a large number of rogue cultivators continuously arriving from all directions and beginning to flood into the Crimson Forest.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the forest, on a large tree, Ding Yi casually tossed a box of freshly made yellow rice balls into the air. A figure appeared out of thin air, caught the yellow rice balls, and then rushed out at high speed.
Ding Yi looked in the direction where the figure disappeared, did some quick calculations, and then murmured:
"We've got enough fish, the bait's already been laid, and we're just waiting for the big fish to bite."
Then, he patted the nuclear sword on his lap, and suddenly countless figures appeared in the previously empty void!
These figures surged toward the nuclear sword on his leg and vanished without a trace in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi's lips curled into a smile. He then slung the nuclear sword over his shoulder, leaped into the air, and vanished from the spot in an instant.
On the other side, in the clearing in the center of the Crimson Forest.
The guards on patrol seemed to have sensed something and immediately came out from their hiding place, looking towards the outer edge of the forest.
"It seems we heard something?"
The guard was somewhat suspicious. This blood-red forest was so eerie that no one had entered it for many years, which made him feel uneasy whenever there was any movement.
"Should we report this to the palace and have someone sent to investigate?"
After pondering for a moment, the guard decided to report the matter to the elder.
After all, he couldn't possibly shoulder such a big responsibility alone. Once the matter was reported to the elder, the elder would be the one to take the blame if something went wrong.
It's incredibly stable!
Having made up his mind, the guard took a step and instantly disappeared from his original spot, transforming into a streak of light and rushing towards the palace complex on the cliff.
Not long after, dozens of streaks of light shot out from the palace on the cliff.
These beams of light exploded in mid-air and flew in all directions, clearly indicating that the palace cultivators had received orders to investigate.
Meanwhile, outside the Crimson Forest, the real experts had also arrived.
Looking at the towering, blood-red forest before him, Nangong Lie's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing could break his composure.
Tuoba Wuji, fanning himself with a folding fan, looked at the forest before him and shook his head, saying:
"What a terrifying killer forest! I never imagined that such a terrifying place existed deep within this chaotic land."
"What do you see?"
Nangong Lie asked without turning his head.
"Resentment, so much resentment, it's like a lid covering this place."
Tuoba Wuji yawned, then said:
“However, I’m not afraid of these things, Brother Nangong, I’ll go first.”
After saying that, Tuoba Wuji took a step and instantly appeared hundreds of meters away. With another step, he disappeared into the forest.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Lie sneered, then suddenly his eyes widened, and with a whoosh, he spat out a crimson longsword.
The longsword was entirely red like flames, and three strangely shaped flames were engraved on the hilt, making it look quite extraordinary.
He gently stroked the longsword in his hand, glanced casually to his left, then took a step and vanished from the spot in an instant.
After Nangong Lie left, a ripple suddenly appeared in the area to his left, and then three figures gradually emerged.
"This guy has an incredibly high level of soul perception."
One of them said with a surprised expression.
"After all, he is among the top 100, and only Brother Feiyun can suppress him."
The other person smiled and then looked at the last person.
This man had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face that looked like a protagonist. He exuded righteousness at first glance. He was none other than Bai Feiyun, who ranked ninety-fifth on the Hidden Dragon List.
Bai Feiyun looked at the forest ahead and said calmly:
"This time, Murong Wentian will be here. I really want to see just how strong he is now."
"What?! Murong Wentian, who's thirty-two?!"
The other two were shocked and said in disbelief.
Are the people at Futu Palace crazy? How could they bear to let him come?
"He has already reached the peak of the True Person realm, and is only one step away from stepping into the Venerable realm. He must have come here to seek a breakthrough."
Bai Feiyun said calmly.
"This is going to be interesting. If we can see him make a move, it will be helpful for our cultivation of the Great Dao."
The other two were initially stunned, but then became somewhat expectant, and spoke without any restraint.
