Chapter 703: The Unsafe Vine Mountain of Safety

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Countless of people from all corners of the Vine Mountain of Safety started evacuating and other than those who were originally near the edge of the mountain, out of 10 who tried to evacuate the Vine Mountain of Safety, not even one manage to do so.

Wei Zidao had almost burnt his entire life span away and was one of the fastest one to escape. At the instance he left the territory of the Immortal Hunters, he had already reached the periphery of the Vine Mountain of Safety.

Even so, a vine still managed to creep up and bind his calf.

Wei Zidao had always been a rogue cultivator and even though his knowledge might not be as great as Shang Hegao and he might not be as resourceful as Pang Hong, he had something the both of them didn’t possess. That was decisiveness.

The second the vine managed to bind up Wei Zidao’s calf, immortal energy was released and his entire calf was instantly detached from his body. In the very next moment, the calfless Wei Zidao was already escaping frantically.

At this moment, the sword qi was nothing to him as what he wanted the most was to evacuate as far as he could.

Behind Wei Zidao was those massive kyoho-like vines starting to gather like a compressed cage for crickets. Any cultivator trapped within this cage would no longer be able to make it out alive.

Not a single drop of blood splattered out because every cultivator who was touched by the vine was absorbed of his or her blood, soul and even fleshly body in the shortest possible time.

Only a rare few like Wei Zidao managed to escape out alive.

”Ai!” Wei Zidao spat out a mouthful of blood before coming to a halt as he swallowed a healing pill.

Behind him, the originally towering and mighty Vine Mountain of Safety had completely disappeared without a trace. The Vine Mountain of Safety had seemingly been compressed down to the ground and everyone who had existed in the Vine Mountain of Safety had vanished with it.

The few cultivators who made it out alive saw Wei Zidao and hurried over to gather around him while helping him up.

In the Sword Prison, the more company the better.

”Revered Lord Wei, what has happened to the Vine Mountain of Safety?” A pale face and blood stained Immortal Reverent asked as his heart still had lingering fears.

A Grand Emperor had no capabilities to resist or fight back against the Vine Mountain of Safety so how truly terrifying was this vine? If he wasn’t already near the periphery of the Vine Mountain of Safety, he wouldn’t have succeeded with his narrow escape.

The remaining weaker survivors were also listening attentatively because they too, had no idea what was going on with the Vine Mountain of Safety.

Wei Zidao finally calmed himself down before saying in a low voice, ”It should be a heart left behind by ancient experts. If my guess is right, those vines that you saw were the veins of the heart.”

”We have been living in a heart?” Someone asked shockingly.

Nobody answered his question because everyone believed that Wei Zidao wasn’t speaking mindlessly. This was because the Vine Mountain of Safety was actually shaped like a heart.

Wei Zidao was also trembling within because he had personally witnessed how Shang Hegao and Pang Hong was sucked dry of their blood and fleshly body before dying within the mountain. Besides how he was stronger than Pang Hong and Shang Hegao, the reason why he was still alive was because of his decisiveness. However, this was still not the main reason why he managed to escape because the main reason was the four Zhi Nature Pills given by Mo Wuji.

The four Zhi Nature Pills made his primordial spirit and soul much more complete than Pang Hong and Shang Hegao and in terms of rate of recovery, his was also the fastest.

Because of his almost recovered primordial spirit, he was able to burn his life force to escape from the Vine Mountain of Safety and ended up losing only one leg.

It seemed like their guess was right and the reason why Mo Wuji left the Vine Mountain of Safety in advance was probably not just because they wanted to take back their territory but because Mo Wuji had already detected the danger within the Vine Mountain of Safety.

He recalled the time he went to the Sword Qi River with Mo Wuji and how Mo Wuji was deep in thoughts while furrowing his brows after he left the Vine Mountain of Safety. Afterwards, he even walked back into the Vine Mountain of Safety to walk out again.

He finally came to an understanding that Mo Wuji had already suspected something from that moment on.

Previously when Mo Wuji retreated and left so straightforwardly, Wei Zidao thought that it was because Mo Wuji no longer had an alliance and that he had already formed an alliance Pang Hong and Shang Hegao. Come to think of it, it was nothing like that because he believed that even if they hadn’t form the alliance, Mo Wuji would have still choose to leave the Vine Mountain of Safety. When they visited Mo Wuji’s place, he was already preparing to leave so how could things be so coincidental?

Given Mo Wuji’s level of knowledge in array dao, if he wasn’t willing to leave, the combined effort of the three of them might not even be able to break Mo Wuji’s array.

”Revered Lord Wei, where do we go now?” Everyone was silent and a cultivator suddenly asked.

Wei Zidao sighed and said, ”The Immortal Hunters is no longer around so everyone can just address me by my name. What Revered Lord? Such a joke.”

This incident made him understand that no matter how much power they gathered in the Sword Prison, any alliance would be to no avail in the face of a much more powerful catastrophe like this.
