“I’m here to kill you, Swordsman Twenty-three!” The sword flashed in purple light and struck the pit.

The pit instantly became scorched black as the arm was cut into pieces.

Li Mu then cut through the sixteen chains. the prenatal qi in the Forbidden Grounds and all over Muguang Mountain began to rise back up at once.

“No wonder the Forbidden Grounds of Xia’s became so important. Clan Xia is the pillar of Muguang Mountain! With the destruction of Clan Xia, not only would the fate of the Nanzhou people be changed, but also the devils would appear again. But I’m in the Forbidden Grounds, so the situation will change.”

After figuring out the truth, Li Mu began to bemoan the bad luck of the people in Nanzhou.

The people in Nanzhou were doomed.

After scanning the pit, Li Mu took a deep breath and absorbed all the prenatal qi in the pit.

Two of the Wells of Prenatal Qi in Nanzhou have been restored—this one and the one in the underground palace of the State of Great Xia.

But for Nanzhou, it was still too little.

Despite all the prenatal qi in Nanzhou, it was still not enough to raise several Saint-level experts. Many experts of Perfected Person spent most of their lives in Zhongzhou.

Some of the people of Nanzhou couldn’t survive in Zhongzhou, so they came back to build their own sects.

“Two more places to go! After cutting off these two places, it still took more than one thousand years to recover the prenatal qi.”

But the key was, where were the two places?

“Check in!”

” Ding! The host has successfully checked in at the prenatal qi pit in Muguang Mountain. Cultivation Achievement of 180 years rewarded.”

“Only 180 years? It seems that this place is not as important as the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the State of Great Xia.”

Li Mu cultivated in this place for two more days.

“Check in!”

“Ding! The host has successfully checked in at the prenatal qi pit in Muguang Mountain. Prenatal Qi Gathering Formation rewarded.”

A formation?

Li Mu took out the formation from the system space to have a closer look.

It was an ancient formation to gather and seal prenatal qi without any leakage.

It couldn’t kill anyone, but it came at a good time.

Li Mu had just been thinking about where to hide this place and how to make it a base for him or other experts to cultivate. And now, the formation came.

He put the formation on the prenatal qi pit and checked to make sure that the prenatal qi would not leak or be seen by outsiders.

He placed a mark there so he could find it in the future. Once he was done, he left the place.

Back at the Library Tower of Clan Xia, Li Mu went through all the animal skin scrolls in the entire building, but he didn’t find out where the other devils were.

“It seems that I still need to go to Zhongzhou.”

The Well of Prenatal Qi in the Forbidden Grounds in Xia gradually increased. Because of that, the prenatal qi in the entirety of Xia had also increased.

At this moment, everyone in Clan Xia was busy.

After the excitement, they saw the mutilated bodies of many extremely gifted disciples, and they were sad once again.

Sadness and anger.

Nobody in the Bailing Valley had any smiles on their faces.

No one noticed that the level of prenatal qi had increased or that the trees and grass around them were changing.

In Muguang Mountain, the cultivators who were still alive were crying.

There finally appeared a Virtual Realm expert in Nanzhou.

They were saved.

The people in Muguang Mountain stared at the traces of the sword attack in the sky. The traced would not dissipate for a long time. They seemed to be hypnotized, and they couldn’t move their eyes for a few days.

“Pack up the bones of our fellows and take them back!”

After the excitement, there was silence.

When they knew that Honghai Sacred Ground was going to deal with the clans living in seclusion in Muguang Mountain, they hurried back to help.

When they came, Clan Hong was already exterminated.

At the foot of the mountain, they fought with the disciples of Honghai Sacred Ground for six months. Now, the battle was finally over.

“Big brother, many of our fellow’s bodies have been cut into pieces, and I can’t find them.”

“Don’t cry! Let’s take it easy. As long as there are relics left, we will collect the relics and bring them back.”

The one called big brother patted his men’s shoulders.

They were all from Nanzhou and had met up halfway. They travelled together in a large group.

After the six-month battle, there were only a few of them left.

Many people had died a few months ago, and their bodies were eaten by the beasts before there was a chance of being collected.

“Clan Xia is safe now. There appeared a Virtual Realm expert in Clan Cia, right? We, people from Nanzhou, can finally stand up.”

After a long time, the big brother finally realized the situation and cried with joy.

The people in Nanzhou could finally have hope.

Sadly, the dead never had the chance to see this.

In the Hall of Soul Flickers of Honghai Sacred Ground, many soul flickers were removed.

They all went out the day before and could no longer be lit again.

“Intelligence said that the ancestor of Clan Xia did it. But they couldn’t figure out what his level of cultivation is.”

The nine elders and Qiu Shuzhen were in the hall. Everyone was anxious, except for Elder Mu, who remained calm.

“The ancestor of Clan Xia is ferocious. He killed Elder Wuma and Elder Baizu. They have stepped into Half-step Virtual Realm for hundreds of years. Is it possible that the gap between their cultivations is really big?”

In the crowd, an old man was in doubt. He was the second elder of the sacred ground, and his name was Gongshan Bai.

He was one of the top out of all the people of the sacred ground.

“Our plan will be delayed?”

“What’s to be afraid of? He is over 800 years old. Even if he’s still alive, he must be on his deathbed. It’s time for him to just die since he was injured back then.”

“Elder Gongshan, since you think the ancestor of Clan Xia is weak, you should go ahead and try to kill him. Can’t you see that Elder Wuma is dead?”

“I…” Words failed Elder Nangong for a while.

—

Baishan City was a plain field surrounded by mountains, and the hundred-feet-high city walls were all made of basalt iron.

Three rivers flowed around the city before merging into one and flowing away.

Even experts of Spirit Manipulation Realm would be afraid upon seeing this place.

Inside the city, there were pavilions and roof-arched buildings. It was extremely grand when seen from a distance.

It was among the largest cities with a population of more than ten million under the charge of Honghai Sacred Ground.

The city was prosperous. Many caravans went past here.

At the entrance of the south gate of the city, a group of unclothed men and women stood there while looking at the mountain.

“Barbarians of Nanzhou! Yuck!”

People of Zhongzhou looked at these people with contempt as they passed by.

Some of the people of Zhongzhou held their breaths with their heads tilting away.

It seemed that their eyes hurt if they looked at these barbarians for one more time, and their noses were hurt since they were breathing the same air with these barbarians.

“Get out of the way, untouchables,” the passing carriage driver scolded as he snapped his whip at the group of people.

The women jumped and dodged, while two ten-year-old young boys stared at the driver.

“What? Do you want to die? Believe it or not, I will kill you b**ches.”

“A Mu!” The women hurriedly pulled the young boys away.

“Good! I’m busy today. If I’m free, I will definitely make you apologize to me sincerely!” the driver scolded and left.

“Xiao Qing, Brother Fei must be okay.”

In the corner of the wall, a girl wearing green clothes with patches was comforting another girl wearing cyan.

The two girls seemed to be starving and weak. “If he is gone, I will die with him.”
