Although the fiery torrent herb was precious, how could a seventh-grade sect like the Star Sword Sect not have one?
Jiang Chen wouldn’t believe it if he said they didn’t have one.
Then, the three disciples of the Star Sword Sect must have some secret for going deep into the Dark Forest.
“You aren’t going deep into the Dark Forest just to find a fiery torrent herb, are you?” Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.
To his surprise, Lin Mo, who had been bad-mouthed all this time, answered Jiang Chen’s question.
“If you hadn’t saved us, I wouldn’t have told you!”
“Not long ago, there was no news of our vice sect master after he entered the Dark Forest. Our purpose this time is to find intel about our vice sect master.”
“You mustn’t leak this news. Otherwise, even though you saved my life, I won’t spare you!”
Whether a sect was powerful or not didn’t depend on how many disciples they had, but on how many powerhouses there were in the sect!
If news of the disappearance of the Star Sword Sect’s vice sect master spread out, the Star Sword Sect would have to reevaluate its status.
At worst… they would even be targeted by a strong faction.
“What realm is your deputy sect master at?”Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
“Fourth level of the Dao Realm. Why?” Lin Mo answered subconsciously.
Jiang Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
If he was really in the fourth level of the Dao Realm, he should be able to survive even if he ran into a beast at the Dao Realm in the Dark Forest.
While Jiang Chen was deep in thought, Lin Mo spoke again.
“Our leader has always been puzzled. With our vice leader’s cultivation, it’s impossible for him to die in the Dark Forest.”
“However, several groups of people have come to look for him, but in the end, they still couldn’t find him!”
“Let’s go! We’ll either find him alive or dead. Before we see the truth, anything is possible.”
While they were talking, Jiang Chen had already walked quite a distance ahead of them.
At the same time, Jiang Chen was still on guard against what they were saying, but he didn’t show it.
As the saying goes, you can’t tell a man’s heart from his face. It was impossible for Jiang Chen to completely believe what they were saying.
After all, Lin Mo’s sword wasn’t ordinary. It was made of gemstone, gold, wood, and stone.
It wouldn’t be a problem if it was used as a sect-guarding treasure in the Star Sword Sect, but he, a disciple, had it with him…
They said they were looking for someone in the Dark Forest, but Jiang Chen didn’t intend to help them at all.
Time flew by!
Jiang Chen and the others went dozens of kilometers deeper into the Dark Forest.
They didn’t encounter any beasts along the way, so they were quite safe.
“This is the depths of the Dark Forest. Let’s part ways here!”
“We’re going to look for our master!” Lin Mo’s eyes lit up. He cupped his hands at Jiang Chen and bade farewell.
“Okay. Bye!” Jiang Chen replied calmly.
Not until they disappeared from his sight did Jiang Chen begin to venture into the forest. He continued to look for the fiery torrent herb.
Soon, Jiang Chen was ten kilometers away. When he came to a place full of weeds, he suddenly stopped.
He saw human beings and beasts’ corpses in front of him.
“The corpse was sucked dry. This must be…” Looking at the corpses in front of him, Jiang Chen knew something big was going to happen in the Dark Forest!
Jiang Chen kept walking as he murmured.
On this road, there were mostly corpses of beasts and human beings everywhere.
All of these corpses had become desiccated after their blood had been sucked dry.
“Interesting.” The deeper he went, the more Jiang Chen thought something interesting was going to happen.
Jiang Chen had visited this Dark Forest once 5,000 years ago, but he had never encountered such a strange thing.
He hadn’t expected to encounter such a strange thing when he came here again 5,000 years later.
In this way, Jiang Chen kept looking for the fiery torrent herb and went deeper into the forest.
Ding ~
Boom ~
After searching for a while, Jiang Chen suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing and True Qi exploding.
A few seconds later, he saw a group of disciples in black battle robes chasing after a masked woman.
Beside these black-robed disciples were the corpses of four or five black-robed disciples whose blood had been sucked dry.
“Black-robed disciples from the Yan Sect?” The corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth curled up slightly. It was a narrow road for enemies. He didn’t expect to meet his mortal enemy from the True Martial Sect here.
“Damn it! Evil woman of the demonic sect, how dare you kill my Junior Brother? Come here and face your death!”
“Kill that witch!”
Although the disciples of the Yan Sect were all enraged, none of them really dared to attack the masked woman.
Apparently, the disciples of the Yan Sect were afraid of the masked woman.
“You keep saying that I practice an evil technique. Tell me, how so?” The masked woman shouted coldly, “I didn’t kill any of these guys. They were already dead by the time I arrived!”
“Hmph! Who are you trying to kid? You killed these men”
“My junior brother and the others were clearly killed by you. No doubt that you’re cultivating using the Demonic Devouring Technique. Stop arguing!”
The Yan Sect disciples all had angry expressions, and they were already eager to give it a try.
“The concept of good and evil does not apply to cultivation techniques? Any technique that exists has a reason to be!”
The masked woman said coldly, “In fact, you should look at yourselves, people from the Yan Sect. Don’t you call yourself a righteous sect? Yet here you are trying to kill me to obtain the secrets of the Demonic Devouring Technique.”
The disciples of the Yan Sect were rendered speechless by her words.
“Humph! Once you’re dead, everything you have would be ours anyway. I don’t want to waste my time talking to you anymore!”
In the dark, Jiang Chen, who had witnessed everything, laughed disdainfully.
All of a sudden, he felt a cold and bloodthirsty aura approaching him.
As for the owner of this aura, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that he was very powerful. He had to be at least at the ninth layer of the Dao Realm to be able to release such a terrifying aura.
As expected, after Jiang Chen stopped for a moment, a burst of sinister laughter suddenly sounded.
“Haha…”
The sinister laughter echoed in everyone’s ears.
The bodies of the Yan Sect disciples subconsciously shivered, and they all looked towards the direction of the voice.
They only saw a man covered in black fog, stepping on countless white bones as he slowly walked over from afar.
His speed was not too fast, as if he was strolling leisurely in a courtyard. But when these Yan Sect disciples looked over, it was as if there was a ferocious giant beast staring at them.
For a moment, the air seemed to have frozen and attacked them. The wind that blew over was bone-chilling!
Cold sweat dripped down the foreheads of these Yan Sect disciples….
