Chapter 425 Blood-Red Forest
Inside Blood Slaughter City, a man in black robes stood on the street, quietly watching the rogue cultivators passing by.
This person was none other than Bai Zihua, a demonic cultivator who had come to investigate the massacre in Chaos City.
He had just received news that Huang Zi had appeared in Blood Kill City, and immediately swiftly crossed the White Bone Plain to arrive at the city.
As a veteran demonic cultivator of Wangyue Tower, he was well aware of the complexities of Blood Slaughter City. Therefore, after arriving in the city, he did not conduct a large-scale investigation, but instead began to secretly plant spies to find the troublemaker.
This demon has committed heinous crimes, daring to slaughter the people of the Six Demon Palace within the city. The higher-ups have issued a death order: this person must be captured, and his soul extracted and placed in the Myriad Ghost Pot to be tortured day after day.
Bai Zihua's expression suddenly became excited as he thought about the scene he saw in the head of the woman named Bai Xiang.
Even without being there in person, he could still sense the man's explosive power and twisted psychology.
Although Bai Zihua himself was a demon, he still felt that this person was even more demonic, and had reached the edge of madness.
However, all of this only fueled Bai Zihua's desire, his desire to torment the strong.
He seemed to already be imagining the scene of that person begging for mercy in his hands; that feeling of being above the strong was simply too exciting for him!
As the number 183 on the Hidden Dragon List, he had already memorized the characteristics of the 182 people ahead of him.
Although no accurate portraits of some of these powerful figures have been released to this day, none of them used that strange weapon.
Therefore, he was certain that the demon was definitely not one of the people ranked ahead of him on the Hidden Dragon List!
With this in mind, Bai Zihua was confident that he was in an invincible position. As for those guys ranked behind him on the Hidden Dragon List, Bai Zihua didn't care about any of them at all.
They're all just a bunch of trash. Bai Zihua is still hiding his strength; otherwise, he could have tried to get into the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking!
But as time went on, Bai Zihua's expression grew increasingly grim.
His spies had been lying in wait in the city for a day, but still hadn't found the man, or even figured out where the yellow coin had come from.
This made Bai Zihua feel that things were becoming increasingly difficult.
He was certain that the person was hiding nearby; he could even smell the resentment emanating from the person, the stench of decay from the depths of their soul!
"Hehehe, you rascal, don't let me find you."
Bai Zihua chuckled, his eyes gleaming with increasing excitement, and his lips curled into an exaggerated smile.
But what Bai Zihua didn't know was that Ding Yi, whom he was so eager to find, had already left Blood Kill City this morning.
Ding Yi's decisive departure from the city wasn't because he knew Bai Zihua was coming, but because the cloth strip on his wrist was moving again, which meant that Shang Que had started to act again.
Moreover, this time, Shang Que was significantly faster. After leaving Blood Slaughter City, he headed north, heading towards the infamous Crimson Forest of the Chaos Land.
The Crimson Forest...
Ding Yi looked at the enormous, bright red forest that lay before him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Even he didn't expect that the group of people who had revived the Changqingzi would choose this godforsaken place as their location.
Legend has it that strange creatures often appear in this blood-red forest, and these creatures cannot be dealt with by ordinary means. It can be said that this is the most taboo place for all demonic cultivators in the Chaotic Land, and no one dares to enter it normally.
At this moment, Ding Yi thought that Shang Que had discovered that he was being followed and deliberately walked into this place, but when he glanced at the strip of cloth on his wrist, he found that the end of the strip of cloth was still pointing straight ahead.
People may make mistakes, but a father never does.
Ding Yi took a deep breath, then took out the quicksand map and glanced at it. Following the instructions on the cloth strip, he slowly stepped into the red forest in front of him.
Upon entering the blood-red forest, Ding Yi could clearly feel the temperature around him drop by tens of degrees.
Because there are two great suns in the sky, the temperature in this world has always been around 60 or 70 degrees Celsius. But at this moment, the temperature in the forest suddenly dropped to minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius. This temperature difference surprised Ding Yi a little.
Although his Five Elements Body did not react much to the temperature change, after a moment's thought, he still chose to take out the nuclear sword and carry it on his shoulder.
This time, Ding Yi planned to first find out the true location of the organization that Shang Que belonged to. As for the coordinates that Ji Huanxue gave him in the lower realm, Ding Yi suspected that the organization had immediately changed locations after Ji Huanxue was imprisoned, which was why the people from the Immortal Alliance had not been able to find them last time.
It must be said that this organization has been patient for so long, and it is indeed quite stable. Changqingzi's choice of them was not wrong.
Ding Yi sneered, then continued to follow the instructions on the cloth strip and walked forward.
Ding Yi quickly realized something was wrong.
He seemed to catch glimpses of figures behind the blood-red tree trunks out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked over, he often found nothing.
“Hehehe…”
Just as Ding Yi was wondering, a faint sound suddenly entered his ears, causing his expression to turn strange.
He looked around and found that it was completely silent. The sunlight overhead was mostly blocked by the broad canopy of trees, and the blood-red trees around him were even rising with a faint mist under the reflection of the dim light. This scene did not look normal at all.
Ding Yi's expression turned slightly cold. He strode towards the tree trunk where the figure had just appeared, then suddenly accelerated, arriving behind the tree trunk in an instant.
I've got you!!
Ding Yi roared, but to his surprise, there was no one behind the huge tree trunk.
On the empty ground, there were some brown, unknown worms.
They lay there densely packed, wriggling incessantly, as if mocking Ding Yi's incompetence.
"Hehehe..."
Another strange laugh came from another direction. Ding Yi turned around abruptly and saw the fleeting black shadow again.
Ding Yi glanced at the strip of cloth on his wrist, and with a blank expression, he strode away, ready to leave. But the next moment, a pale arm dangled from his shoulder.
In that instant, a stench assaulted Ding Yi's nostrils. He was very familiar with this smell—the stench of a corpse.
"Pretend to be a ghost!!"
Ding Yi grabbed the arm on his shoulder, but the next moment, he found that the arm had suddenly disappeared from his sight, as if it had never been there at all.
Ding Yi was suddenly a little confused.
Legend has it that the interior of this blood-red forest leads to an unknown world, but no one has ever confirmed it. However, Ding Yi is now somewhat forced to believe it.
And this bizarre scene encountered right upon entering seems to be the reason why the mysterious organization chose to settle here.
