690: Chapter 690 A Horrifying Scene

Seeing this, a look of gravity flashed across Meng Shuyan's pretty face.

Under her Divine Sense probing, she did not discover any danger in the direction from which those Cultivators had just fled.

So, what exactly happened over there?

Her beautiful eyes flickered, and after pondering for a few breaths without coming to any conclusion, she turned her head to look at Su Yun.

Should we continue moving forward?

It's better to ask Yun'er for his opinion first!

Immediately, Meng Shuyan's red lips parted slightly, and she said softly:

"Yun'er, the jungle over there is likely to be very dangerous! So, should we continue moving forward? Also, perhaps we took the wrong path, which is why we arrived near a dangerous area!"

"There's danger? Then that's exactly right!"

Su Yun's eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement.

"Hmm? Why?"

Meng Shuyan blinked, her red lips pursed slightly, as if she didn't quite understand his meaning.

"Revered Master, this is a trial ground of the Ancient Road to Immortality; it's unlikely to be as simple as just a natural Formation that prevents people from finding the exit! Otherwise, the rumors wouldn't say that the Ancient Road to Immortality is extremely dangerous! Therefore, there must be dangerous places in this jungle. And these dangerous places likely hide the entrance to the next level, or perhaps the exit of the jungle."

A sharp light flashed in Su Yun's eyes as he boldly guessed:

"So, the fact that we are now approaching that dangerous area means we didn't take the wrong path earlier!"

"Let's go! Revered Master, let's go check the direction those Cultivators fled from earlier! We might make a big discovery!"

Meng Shuyan nodded slightly, then a look of seriousness flashed in her eyes as she earnestly advised:

"Hmm, alright~ However, it looks quite dangerous over there. Later, when we go over, you must be careful, Yun'er! After all, this place is not like the outside world. If there is danger, Revered Master might not be able to help you in time!"

After she finished speaking, a white immortal light flashed on her fair hand, and immediately, the tianxuan sword appeared in her grasp.

"I know, Revered Master, I will be careful..."

Hearing this, Su Yun looked at her, his eyes softening involuntarily, and his heart warmed.

Usually, Revered Master wouldn't specifically admonish him like this.

It must be because the incident at the entrance of the Ancient Road to Immortality had scared Revered Master.

Even now, her mood had not yet calmed down.

That's why she was so worried about his safety!

It seems that after leaving the Ancient Road to Immortality, he must properly comfort her!

"That's good~" Meng Shuyan smiled gracefully, feeling somewhat relieved.

Immediately, her expression became vigilant, her snow-white, jade-like hand gripped the tianxuan sword tightly, and she transformed into a colorful stream of light, flying in front.

Su Yun also took a step forward and followed.

The two flew very fast, appearing in the jungle tens of miles away in an instant, and then landed directly on the ground.

Meng Shuyan moved with light steps, releasing her Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, and muttered somewhat puzzledly:

"It seems there is no danger here either? So why were those Cultivators so afraid?"

There were neither terrifying Restrictions or Formations, nor any powerful Yao Beasts.

It was much the same as the places they had passed along the way.

Su Yun flashed around the vicinity for a circle, then suddenly stopped, looking thoughtfully at several towering ancient trees not far away.

To be precise, he wasn't looking at the towering ancient trees themselves, but rather at the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the area near those towering ancient trees.

It seemed a bit turbid...

At this moment, Meng Shuyan also walked to Su Yun's side, following his gaze, and also looked at those towering ancient trees.

The two fell silent.

A few breaths later, Su Yun suddenly spoke: "Revered Master, have you noticed?"

"Hmm, there seems to be some kind of mist remaining between these ancient trees! Moreover, this mist is quite peculiar; my Divine Sense cannot even detect its existence!"

Meng Shuyan said in a surprised tone.

"However, it's just mist. Could the danger they mentioned earlier be this mist?"

"Perhaps! Those few Cultivators who screamed earlier and seemed to have died after encountering great danger—judging by their voices, one can roughly determine that they died near here."

Su Yun stroked his chin and said slowly:

"But after we came over, we didn't see their remains or corpses, nor did we see any other dangerous Restrictions or anything like that. So this mist is very suspicious! Perhaps it is the source of the danger!"

"Yun'er, what you said makes a lot of sense!" Meng Shuyan agreed.

"As for where the specific danger lies? We'll know once we test it!"

After Su Yun finished speaking, he directly raised his hand, pointing his finger like a sword at the wisps of mist in front.

In an instant, a three-foot red Blazing Sun Sword Qi condensed at his fingertip.

Although this Blazing Sun Sword Qi was not large, it still contained an extremely terrifying Sword Dao Law. It caused crisp sword hums to echo in the surroundings, while simultaneously making the area seem to fall into a sea of fire.

"Extinguish!" With a thought from Su Yun, the Blazing Sun Sword Qi flew out directly, attacking the mist.

At the moment the two made contact, a shocking scene occurred.

The Blazing Sun Sword Qi disappeared without a trace. The incomparably powerful Law fluctuations on it also came to an abrupt halt.

"This... Revered Master will try it too!"

Seeing this, Meng Shuyan frowned slightly, gripped the tianxuan sword, and slashed fiercely toward the wisps of mist.

A colorful sword light, carrying an aura that could destroy heaven and earth, was released directly.

The result... was the same as before. The colorful sword light suddenly disappeared.

"Could this mist contain the legendary Great Dao Power of Devouring? It directly devoured all of our attacks?"

A look of doubt flashed in Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes.

"Not sure yet, let me try again!"

Hearing this, Su Yun thought for a moment, waved his hand, and took out a Spiritual Plant brought from the outside world from his Storage Ring. He threw it directly into the wisps of mist.

He saw that the Spiritual Plant also disappeared directly into the mist.

"It doesn't seem to have been devoured; it's more like it was directly erased!"

Su Yun reached a conclusion quickly after seeing this.

Power of Law. Divine Sense. Life force. All would instantly disappear within that mist.

But it didn't seem like it was being devoured. After all, possessing the Devouring Sacred Body, he could perceive this very clearly.

Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes stared straight at the wisps of mist, feeling somewhat terrified.

"If I were enveloped by this mist, even Revered Master probably couldn't withstand it! I would be instantly finished off, right!"

At this time, she suddenly remembered the Cultivators who had fled in panic with fear on their faces, and continued:

"However, although this mist is terrifyingly powerful, it doesn't seem to move, so it should be easy to dodge."

"So those people didn't necessarily have to flee immediately!"

"As for that..." Su Yun paused and continued to observe the surroundings.

Revered Master was right. Actually, he also felt it was a bit strange... Perhaps there was something he hadn't noticed!
