Chapter 709 Return to the Forest of Death
"Young friend Zhong, are you alright?"
An elderly man in a gray robe with completely white hair and beard walked over. His aura was extremely powerful, leading Zhong Ran to guess that he might be a Mahayana stage expert.
She had met experts at the Integration Realm, but as for those at the Mahayana Realm, she only seemed to suspect that Elder Song might be one.
As for whether it was true or not, he didn't say, and she didn't ask.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning bowed respectfully and thanked them, saying, "Thank you, seniors, for coming to save our lives."
Even if they come, they might not be injured or killed. Even if they can't win, they can still escape.
Moreover, she has now discovered that with the Dark Source Pearl, she is not afraid of the demonic path at all, and can even control the evil path.
There's also Xiao Yan; he can absorb those powers and grow up very quickly.
However, she didn't know if she could control those more powerful demonic cultivators with her current control over the Dark Source Pearl.
But one thing is certain: it won't be easy for those people to kill them.
She's going to run away, and I doubt anyone can stop her.
But the feelings that should be remembered should still be remembered, and the thanks that should be expressed should still be expressed.
"We're relieved to see that you're all safe and sound."
The old man stroked his beard, and paused when his gaze fell on Xiao Yan.
"Is he Zhong Yan's clone? What happened to that kid Zhong Yan? Why was he removed from the popularity rankings?"
It's normal for Mu Jinning to be removed from the list, because people over thirty years old are automatically removed from those major lists.
But Zhong Yan is only in his twenties, and he can obviously suppress the enemy for a few more years.
Zhong Ran's voice was cold and deep: "We don't know the specifics. Something happened to him, and we can't find him."
These people are all concerned about their seniors, and it's also true that Zhong Yan's matter needs to be explained.
The difference is that they are now certain that Zhong Yan went to the underworld.
There's no need to tell these seniors about this.
"Where did the accident happen? Take us to look for it again; maybe we can find someone?"
"His clone is still here, and he doesn't seem to be in any danger. It seems he's alright too, but his life force might have been blocked."
"Yes, young friend Zhong, why don't you take us there and let's go look for him together? Maybe we can find him."
Looking at these enthusiastic seniors, Zhong Ran hesitated for a moment before saying, "He disappeared in the Forest of Death. I only remember that it was in a valley when we were being chased by an evil old woman."
She recounted everything that had happened inside without reservation, including the story of the evil old woman at the Integration Realm.
"What? A powerful evil cultivator followed you into the Forest of Death to kill you?"
They assumed that since neither the demons nor the evil spirits dared to enter the Forest of Death before, they should be safe.
Since they came out alive, they must have succeeded.
But now she says that Zhong Yan's disappearance inside is related to a powerful figure from the evil path.
"Those people are truly ruthless," an old woman sighed. "Young friend Zhong, are you confident you can enter and leave the Forest of Death? You can take us in; perhaps we can find Zhong Yan's whereabouts."
She is a genius array master. It is normal for geniuses to have many abnormalities that ordinary people cannot understand.
Even high-level array masters might not be able to easily enter and exit the Forest of Death, but Zhong Ran and his group could, which speaks volumes.
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning exchanged a glance. They had originally planned to follow Zhong Yan to explore the Underworld together.
But Xiao Qingtian said that with their current strength, they couldn't break through the world barrier of the Underworld, so naturally they couldn't get through.
I wonder if these predecessors will be able to break down the barriers between the world?
If they could break through the world barrier, they would still want to go there to find Zhong Yan, after all, there might be immortals there, and quite a few of them.
Zhong Yan was all alone, and as a newcomer at the Refining Void Realm, it was very dangerous for him there.
Zhong Ran thought for a moment before saying, "The Forest of Death is filled with death energy, which is not friendly to us. Are you all really willing to go in?"
"There is no airspace inside, and no spiritual energy. Many techniques cannot be used inside. You can only rely on your physical strength to get through."
The old woman from the evil path who wasn't afraid of death energy back then still suffered a great loss inside, was injured, and almost went insane.
For those righteous predecessors, entering this path will likely be even more difficult.
The group exchanged glances, seemingly hesitant.
The same old man said, "I have lived for over five thousand years. I will go and see for myself. Even if something happens, it will have been worth it."
"You shall stay outside and keep a close watch on the evil and demonic paths, and never allow them to kill any more of our righteous geniuses."
There are many geniuses, but few of them are able to grow into truly great talents.
The evil and demonic paths both love to use the flesh and blood of righteous geniuses for cultivation, and some geniuses are even directly turned into puppets by them.
This is a suppression of the righteous path.
This is something that the righteous path cannot tolerate.
“This old woman will go too. It’s not that I’m tired of living, but I think that if you young friends can go in and come out, we should be able to as well.”
The old woman leaned on a cane, on which was a level eight beast core, radiating a powerful aura.
This is a magical artifact enhanced by a beast core, making it extremely powerful.
Three more people stepped forward, expressing their willingness to join them in entering the Forest of Death.
Previously, they dared not set foot there easily; the Forest of Death represented mystery and danger to cultivators.
But Zhong Ran and the others went in and came out alive.
This means that Zhong Ran, a daughter favored by Heaven's will, is protected by Heaven and will not easily perish.
Those who follow such fortunate people can also survive.
Zhong Ran was touched to see that they all trusted her and entrusted their own safety to her.
Could they have ulterior motives? Actually, having spent so much time with the righteous path, I do know some of the seniors.
People like Elder Fang before, and later Elder Jin, Elder Song, etc., all genuinely treated her well.
There are still many good people.
"Alright, since the seniors want to go, then let's go."
Someone looked at the two clones over there: "Are they going too? Or should we take them back first?"
Zhong Ran also looked at the two clones. Before she could speak, Xiao Yan said, "Wherever sister is, we will be there."
He's going to stay with his sister.
Needless to say, Ah Sheng was practically Zhong Ran's shadow.
"Okay, then we'll go together."
The old man tore open the air with both hands and said to them, "Come on."
Mu Jinning brought her two clones along, Xiao Qingtian brought Asheng along, and Zhong Ran followed, all stepping into the void together.
As expected of a senior, that's fast.
They passed through the void and arrived outside the Forest of Death the next moment.
However, this direction is neither the direction they entered nor the direction they came out from.
Zhong Ran walked inside first: "Seniors, please follow me closely. The formations inside are quite intricate."
