“Eh, there are characters here.”
Xi Huang didn’t find it strange when she saw the corpse vanished out of thin air. It wasn’t the first time Gu Yang had done something like this in front of her.
After the corpse disappeared, numerous tiny characters were engraved on the rock below.
The font size was incredibly small, resembling micro-carving. It was easy to overlook in such dim conditions.
Xi Huang, with her careful observation, discovered the anomaly.
Gu Yang scrutinized it carefully. Just by looking at the first line, he was stunned.
“I am known as Daoist Muhuang, from Jinsan Sect…”
Daoist Muhuang?
These inscriptions should have been left by the corpse before it died, and it claimed to be Daoist Muhuang?
In that case, who was the one in Muhuang City?
Gu Yang found it somewhat eerie and continued reading.
The script gave a brief introduction to his life. After the Day of Fall, he established Muhuang City, provided shelter to many cultivators and civilians, and built a large ancient formation inherited from the ancient times, to resist the supernatural creatures.
Later, he met a warrior from another world named Luo Kun. The two of them discussed martial arts and became close friends.
Soon after, Luo Kun left Muhuang City and returned after a decade, inviting him to explore the Forest of Wanji together.
After reaching this cave, the two of them bypassed the colony of blood bats and found a treasure left by an ancient immortal.
Then, Luo Kun betrayed him…
The script turned extremely messy here, with no further continuation.
After reading it, Gu Yang fell into deep thought.
Which of the two Daoist Muhuangs were real?
Suddenly, he forcefully rubbed out the characters on the ground with his foot and said, “Let’s go.”
Whether real or fake, seeking verification from Daoist Muhuang was not an option.
Daoist Muhuang was a powerful being in the Unleaking realm. To outrightly expose his secret was virtually suicidal.
Anyway, he would just need to be extra cautious when facing him in the future.
As for the treasure left by the ancient immortal mentioned above, Gu Yang did not take it too seriously. If what was written was true, the treasure must have been taken by Luo Kun.
If it was false, then there was even less reason to care.
Along the way, Gu Yang and Xi Huang didn’t encounter any danger. A few scattered blood bats fled when they sensed their presence.
He wanted to kill one for testing, but couldn’t even catch up with one.
Finally, they returned to the surface and continued hunting the isolated supernatural creatures around them.
After one day, the mana realm creatures within a hundred miles of Muhuang City were almost entirely hunted by him.
The remaining energy of Gu Yang reached sixty units.
By rough calculation, he had killed more than forty creatures.
It was terrifying thinking about it, in such a small area, there were forty mana-enriched supernatural creatures. For Muhuang City to endure until now was truly remarkable.
Xi Huang finally couldn’t help but ask, “Father, there are too many of these creatures, is it necessary to risk this?”
Although they were effortlessly killing isolated creatures, once they gathered, they would only have one option – to flee in a panic.
In her view, doing such a dangerous and laborious unrewarding task was too risky.
With a deep compassion in his voice, Gu Yang responded, “I killed three mana realm monsters, even though it was against my will, but it greatly weakened Muhuang City’s strength. If the hundreds of thousands of people in the city died as a result, I would be uneasy. If I can eliminate one more supernatural creature, Muhuang city can be a bit safer.”
Xi Huang’s eyes gleamed with admiration as she said passionately, “Father…”
Just then, Gu Yang felt a chill run down his spine. Without the slightest hesitation, he transformed into a phoenix, picked up Xi Huang and fled.
The next moment, an enormous head dropped down from the sky. Its face was full of resentment, opening and closing its mouth as if it was saying, “Die, die, all of you die!”
It chased in the direction where Gu Yang disappeared, its speed in no way inferior to the phoenix Gu Yang had transformed into.
Meanwhile, in Muhuang City, at the city lord’s mansion.
In the empty Great Hall, Daoist Muhuang, who was reading a book, suddenly lifted his head, a solemn expression on half of his face, “How did it wake up early?”
Not just it, all the people in Muhuang city, from cultivators to ordinary people, felt a strong sense of resentment in their hearts.
Some people, who were on the edge, lost control immediately.
Thunderous noises echoed from all corners of the city.
Tens of people turned into monsters and began killing people.
