Chapter 256 Extermination of the Clan
"Choo Choo Choo!"
Ning Xiaoxi opened her eyes to the sound of birdsong. The bright, soft sunlight illuminated the entire oasis, making it lush and green, with the lake water rippling.
The ten masks on top were still spinning. Ning Xiaoxi blinked. "You've been cultivating all night?"
The gentle smile on the face mask became clearer. "Finally, I have some strength left. At least I won't hold you back."
Ning Xiaoxi didn't know what expression to make. Was this guy trying to be her henchman?
After quickly filling her stomach and finishing cleaning up, Ning Xiaoxi looked at the ten masks and said, "I'm going to put you away now."
The smile on the mask remained unchanged. "Okay."
Ning Xiaoxi put the mask into her spatial storage and placed it on a pile of spirit crystal fragments, making it look like a giant snowman with ten faces.
Upon entering the space, the heat flow between the ten masks ceased, and the once-glowing white masks lost their lively feel, reverting to their essence as masks.
After all, it's an independent, enclosed space, so it should be able to block the mask's sensing power just like a cave.
Open the map and locate the west coast. Isn't the source of the west underwater? Let her sweep across the desert once more!
Once you've done the same thing once, you'll have experience.
The entire desert was devoid of any high-level demons, which was likely related to the Celestial Masters' western trials. By creating a relatively safe environment and then brainwashing the common people in cities thousands of miles away, just like in the north, demons disappeared from the minds of the people; their existence was thus artificially erased.
Ning Xiaoxi had also noticed that the demon-demon gap was severe. Demons below the mid-level were still relatively common, but high-level ones were almost nonexistent. She had encountered demons above the super-level time and time again. Even without her lucky charm physique, she had encountered quite a few. However, Tianji said that she needed to kill at least two more high-level demons to qualify for the Heavenly Master Pavilion's rare treasures.
She threw another sand scorpion corpse into her space, then suddenly realized that there was no point in collecting these monster corpses anymore. Uncle Jian's bloodline had been repaired, so there was no need to hoard these flesh and blood.
The masked space remained quiet. No matter how much she wreaked havoc outside, the mask remained unchanged. There was no heat flow or vibrant energy. It seemed that perception was truly cut off, even the perception between the masks was severed.
Try to take a step that takes you a thousand miles and appear at the edge of the trial grounds.
"Buzz!"
A ripple of light appeared, and a barrier materialized.
Taking a few steps back, I looked up at the complete barrier interface, which was no less impressive than the one I had encountered during the previous trial, completely blocking the view between the inside and outside.
The Western Trials ended less than a month ago, and this place has been sealed again. Is it necessary?
The spiritual energy shot out and gently touched the barrier, causing a slight ripple of light to escape, but it did not cause any change.
The spiritual energy adhered to the barrier and expanded along the barrier's path. Through the barrier, she could feel intense fluctuations of spiritual energy inside, but she still couldn't see what was happening inside.
Just as she was trying to use her spiritual power to penetrate the barrier and enter the interior, sharp spikes formed on the surface of the barrier and attacked her spiritual power from all directions.
Ning Xiaoxi decisively abandoned her spiritual power, taking a step to travel a hundred miles away and hiding far away. Behind her, a sharp force that pierced the sky tore apart the spiritual power she left behind, fierce and ruthless.
With lingering fear, she turned to look at the trial grounds. That power was definitely stronger than hers. During the trial, only Elder He came, who was roughly equal to her. But after the trial, such a powerful person appeared. It seemed that he was definitely not simple.
Tuanzi appeared on Ning Xiaoxi's shoulder. [Xiaoxi, those are the Illusionary Beast Clan members being strangled.]
【What?】
[It was the Spirit Guards; they led Lu Wu to wipe out the Illusionary Beast Clan—it was an act of annihilation.]
Ning Xiaoxi felt a chill run through her body. She instantly opened the map, located the territory of the Illusionary Beast Clan, and stepped out.
"Xiao Xi, don't go." Tuanzi clung to Ning Xiao Xi's shoulder. How should one view this kind of thing?
In the valley of the Phantom Beast Clan's territory, there are no more sand houses, no more stone houses, and no more human habitation. The entire valley floor has risen a hundred meters inexplicably.
The ancestral hall valley was also buried by yellow sand.
The wind howled, and the Illusionary Beast Clan disappeared into the depths of the desert.
Ning Xiaoxi stood in the crevice of the rocky mountain. She had been here a month ago, when it was full of life and thriving with people. Now, only a desolate valley remained.
You're saying Lu Wu is inside the barrier?
[A divine beast that has lost its mind. The Spirit Guards inherited their skills from the Xia King; their technique is spirit control, attacking the essence of demons, controlling and killing them.] Tuanzi's expression was solemn. [That Lu Wu's soul is controlled; it has no independent consciousness and is entirely controlled by its controller.]
Ning Xiaoxi frowned. [Just like my demon pet?]
There's no comparison. Yours is pampered, theirs is slavery, or even less than that—just a more powerful weapon.
Is this the true foundation of royalty? Tushan and Kuafu sealed their clans away for a hundred years, so what about them? Ning Xiaoxi dared not think further. There were already few people who knew about the alien races. If they sealed their clans away for another hundred years, would there ever be a day when they would be unsealed? Or perhaps, they were already...! She shook her head, not allowing herself to continue thinking.
Why? We saw it that day too. The Illusionary Beast Clan has no real strength. Even if we don't wipe them out, they're hiding deep in the desert, almost completely isolated from the world. What's the point of trying to exterminate them?
[Internal strife within the human race.] Tuanzi's voice was low.
A surge of spiritual energy emanated from the space, and a dilapidated golden talisman door appeared, from which a blood-stained figure staggered out.
Upon seeing the flat, yellow sand, he knelt down and spat out a mouthful of blood.
From inside the talisman gate, a long, strong hand reached out, grabbed the man's neck, and pulled him back into the talisman gate.
A flash of golden light, and the dilapidated talisman gate vanished.
There was something in that mouthful of blood.
Ning Xiaoxi stood there quietly, the light and shadow on her body flashing violently, the extreme changes in light and shadow, her figure gradually disappeared, merging into the sunlight.
A dimly lit talisman door opened just three meters away from where Ning Xiaoxi had been standing, and a tall, slender figure stepped out. His cold, sharp gaze swept across the area, and a sharp aura surged around him, shattering the surrounding ten miles of space.
The man strolled across the yellow sand. Under the sunlight, he appeared rather aloof, and his dark red robe made his face look unusually pale.
His phoenix eyes sparkled, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his face, devoid of any smile, was so familiar!
He walked to the spot where he had just vomited blood, looked down at it, and with a light tap of his finger, the yellow sand rolled into a ball, washing away the bloodstains and revealing a piece of warm yellow jade.
I lowered my head slightly and examined the piece of warm yellow jade closely. It was like a stone, and apart from being a bit warm and smooth, it had nothing special about it.
