45: Misty Valley

"The Secret Realm is collapsing!"

As a terrified Loose Cultivator shouted and rushed out of the Secret Realm entrance,

the people from various Families and factions stationed outside the Secret Realm stood up in panic.

"What did you say!?"

A nearby Family Elder rushed in front of the Loose Cultivator in an instant and questioned him loudly.

"The Chiyang Secret Realm has begun to collapse!"

Hearing this, the Loose Cultivator hurriedly repeated himself.

In the next second, more and more people rushed out of the Secret Realm entrance with terrified faces, fleeing frantically into the distance.

And after some members of the great Families rushed out of the Secret Realm, the news was completely confirmed.

"Oh no! The Young Lord is still inside!"

"Terrible! My Long'er hasn't come out yet!"

"Has anyone seen the members of my Xu Family?"

"Have any members of the Li Clan come out?"

"..."

For a moment, the open ground outside the Secret Realm entrance fell into chaos, with various shouts intertwining noisily.

Amidst this chaos, after Zhang Daobai rushed out of the Secret Realm, he flew directly toward the distant forest without looking back.

There were many others with the same idea, as they were unsure if the collapse of the Chiyang Secret Realm would affect the outside world.

After flying on his Spirit Sword at full speed for a while, Zhang Daobai suddenly felt a sense of danger coming from the forest below.

In the next second, a black long spear shot toward Zhang Daobai from the forest below like an arrow leaving a bowstring.

The sound of the spear breaking through the air at high speed was like the sound of death, lingering in Zhang Daobai's heart.

"Thunderous Instant Flash!"

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai instantly transformed into a Golden Thunder, using the Spirit Sword as a springboard to teleport away from it.

After creating some distance, he hurriedly recalled the Spirit Sword and flew toward the distance.

"Where do you think you're running!"

A furious shout echoed from the forest below, and then three fierce burly men on various flying Magical Artifacts closed in on Zhang Daobai.

"Two at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, one at the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage."

Zhang Daobai's gaze quickly swept over the three, and his expression promptly became solemn.

If there were only one Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, Zhang Daobai wouldn't mind having a big battle with them.

But with two Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators plus a Mid Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, although he could fight, it was too risky.

So, Zhang Daobai directly flew his Spirit Sword into the forest below.

"Hahaha! Is that kid scared witless? He actually dares to land!"

"Kill him quickly so we can find the next fat sheep!"

"Charge straight in! He's just a Mid Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator; there's nothing to be careful about."

With that, the three fierce burly men chased closely after Zhang Daobai and rushed into the forest.

"Bang!"

The sound of heavy objects landing rang out as the three burly men crashed onto the ground like falling boulders.

"Hmm? Where's the kid?"

As soon as they landed, the three discovered to their surprise that Zhang Daobai's aura had completely vanished.

"He probably used something like a breath concealing talisman and then hid."

The leading burly man scanned the surroundings with a playful gaze and speculated.

"Second Brother! Third Brother! It looks like we're going to play a game of hide-and-seek now," the leader said with a weird, sinister grin on his face.

"Haha! I can't wait to catch that little mouse," the Second Brother laughed excitedly upon hearing this.

"Search separately!" the Eldest Brother ordered with a wave of his hand.

After he finished speaking, the three split up to the left and right, searching in the direction where Zhang Daobai had disappeared.

Not long after they began searching, the three noticed that a white mist had begun to permeate the forest.

Fog rising in a forest is a perfectly normal phenomenon, so the three didn't pay any mind to this white mist.

High up in a large tree, Zhang Daobai was shrouded in Spirit Concealing Mist, looking down coldly at the three men below.

He had originally planned to summon Lin Luoxue directly to kill the three of them quickly.

But on second thought, he wanted to see how effective White Moon's poisonous mist was.

The three men, focused on searching for Zhang Daobai, didn't notice that under the sunlight, the white mist in the woods reflected a multicolored glimmer.

"Ugh!"

Soon, the Third Brother, who had the lowest cultivation, suddenly stopped in his tracks and fell stiffly to the ground, his hands clutching his throat tightly.

A large number of multicolored spots quickly appeared on his body, then rapidly spread and rotted.

At the same time, the eldest and Second Brothers on the other side also quickly noticed something was wrong with their bodies and hurriedly took out Detoxification Pills to swallow.

"What's going on? I'm poisoned!?"

Feeling the life force rapidly draining from his body, the Eldest Brother frantically poured medicine into his mouth in terror.

But he was a step too late after all; White Moon's poison had already invaded his entire body.

Moreover, White Moon had absorbed a large amount of severe toxins during this time, mostly from poisonous creatures of the second rank or higher, so the resulting mixed poison was simply not something a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator could resist.

In just a few moments, the eldest and Second Brothers also fell to the ground one after another in pain, while the Third Brother not far away had already turned into a pool of foul-smelling pus.

"It seems that almost no Cultivator below the Purple Mansion Stage can withstand White Moon's poison. I wonder how effective it would be against a Purple Mansion stage cultivator?"

Zhang Daobai commented very calmly as he looked at the three men who had lost their lives.

At this moment, the forest shrouded in white mist fell into a deathly silence; even the chirping of insects had vanished.

Zhang Daobai jumped down from the tree branch and collected the storage rings and Magical Artifacts of the three Robber Cultivators.

"Made another fortune."

After looting the spoils, Zhang Daobai couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

After leaving the mist-filled woods, Zhang Daobai released Lin Luoxue.

"Where are we going now?"

Lin Luoxue asked after quickly checking the surroundings.

"To Misty Fog Valley," Zhang Daobai said after taking out a map.

Misty Fog Valley was named because it was shrouded year-round in the Spirit Bewildering Mist spat out by Mist Concealing Worms.

The reason Zhang Daobai came here was for the Mist Concealing Worms in Misty Fog Valley.

Instead of finding ways to look for Heaven And Earth Treasures to activate the hidden Bloodline in White Moon's body, it was better to think more about her kin.

Since Mist Concealing Worms all possess the Divine Concealment Bug Bloodline, although it might be very thin in one, what if the entire tribe was combined?

As for whether White Moon would have any objections? In fact, Zhang Daobai had asked her before coming.

However, since White Moon gained consciousness, she had never seen those of her kind in Misty Fog Valley.

Furthermore, Mist Concealing Worms are a tribe centered around a broodmother. To White Moon, the Mist Concealing Worm tribe in Misty Fog Valley was just another unrelated tribe.

If they met in the wild, they might even have a huge battle. Therefore, she had no objection to Zhang Daobai's plan and was even very supportive.

White Moon: Kin? What kin? Aren't these Heaven And Earth Treasures that help my Bloodline return to its ancestors?
