413: Forbidden Land

Jiang He's eyes were filled with despair; having experienced this death crisis, his perspective on many things had changed.

He felt that he should cherish his life and Cultivate properly; his talent was already poor, yet he had wasted it so much.

He was, after all, the eldest young master of the Jiang Family, and the Jiang Family's mistress and head were his parents; as long as he Cultivated well, there would surely be endless resources for him.

But why hadn't he cherished it?

Tears flowed from the corners of Jiang Huai's eyes, and his vision gradually became blurred.

Seeing that she had succeeded, Mu Qingling immediately sped away into the distance.

The two Immortal Emperors were almost mad with rage, their terrifying auras released directly; previously, they had been suppressing them because this was the Myriad Beast Divine Mountain.

But now, they could no longer suppress it.

Mu Qingling... must die!

If Jiang He died, they would be unable to account for it upon their return.

Abominable!

Damned thing.

Just as they were about to charge at Mu Qingling, one of the Immortal Emperors suddenly noticed something; he abruptly halted his steps and then quickly moved toward Jiang He.

"Wait, the young master isn't dead yet!"

Mu Qingling had intentionally left Jiang He with a single breath of life just to increase her chances of escape.

The two arrived at Jiang He's side; although his condition was terrible, it was only his Physical Body, and for a Cultivator above the Immortal King level, the Physical Body was almost meaningless.

The key was the Immortal Soul!

As long as the Immortal Soul was not destroyed, there was a chance for survival.

And while Jiang He's Immortal Soul was extremely severely damaged, as Immortal Emperors, they could still stabilize it using the power of the Dao.

"Quick, stabilize his Immortal Soul!"

The two withdrew their auras and immediately applied the power of the Dao, stabilizing Jiang He's Immortal Soul.

"Do not linger here. That Mu Qingling is merely a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and cannot stir up much trouble; take the young master back to the Jiang Family for treatment first."

"This Immortal Soul is so severely damaged that if only the two of us help him recover, I fear there will be lingering side effects."

Saying this, the two nodded to each other and then instantly vanished from the spot.

On the other side.

Mu Qingling ran toward the depths without looking back, her speed reaching its limit, even leaving behind faint blood-red afterimages.

This was using a Blood Essence Secret Technique to forcibly increase her speed.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qingling's steps suddenly faltered. She turned her head to look behind her, a sense of weakness surging once more, and she fell directly from the air, kneeling weakly on the ground.

"They shouldn't... be chasing me anymore, right?"

Mu Qingling gasped for breath, sweat pouring from her forehead, and blood nearly dyeing her white dress a bright crimson.

After a careful investigation, Mu Qingling confirmed that there was no trace of an aura behind her.

She had finally survived this ordeal!

Mu Qingling felt a deep sense of relief in her heart, but she did not let down her guard, instead cautiously surveying her surroundings.

"Logically speaking, this should be the depths of the Myriad Beast Divine Mountain, so why haven't I seen a single Yao Beast?"

Her eyes were full of gravity.

Suddenly, Mu Qingling felt goosebumps all over her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Something was wrong!

Territorial awareness is very strong among Yao Beasts; for there to be such a large territory within the Myriad Beast Divine Mountain, it must be the domain of a Dominator Realm Great Yao.

Mu Qingling looked around, where a faint mist drifted, making it difficult for her to see the situation clearly.

Leave first!

She immediately forced herself to stand up, preparing to head out of the Myriad Beast Divine Mountain.

However, at that moment, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.

Mu Qingling's pupils constricted violently, and her breathing almost stopped.

Who is it!

A Yao Beast?

No, this is a human hand, definitely not that of a Yao Beast.

But powerful Yao Beasts can all shapeshift; could he be one in human form?

It's over!

Though she didn't know who was behind her, she knew she was very likely about to die.

The Yao Race is extremely hostile toward the Human Race; having entered their territory like this, what hope of survival did she have?

Mu Qingling felt a sense of helplessness; she thought that after evading the Jiang Family's pursuit, her problems would be solved, only to realize she might end up in the mouth of a Yao.

To be able to approach her silently in the core of the Myriad Beast Divine Mountain, they were most likely a Dominator Realm Yao.

"Little sister!"

A gentle voice rang out, causing Mu Qingling's originally tense heart to suddenly relax.

Why can't I feel any hostility?

Mu Qingling turned around to see a middle-aged man in green standing behind her; he had a scholarly air about him, looking very refined.

The only difference was the pair of small horns growing on his head.

Dragon Clan!?

Mu Qingling's heart jolted; although the aura within the other party's body was very calm, she could feel that terrifying Bloodline aura very clearly.

He is definitely a Divine Beast!

Yao Race is a collective term for all Yao Beasts, while Divine Beasts are the most noble group within the Yao Race and also the rulers of the entire Yao Race.

But soon, Mu Qingling judged that the person before her was definitely not from the Dragon Clan.

Because the Bloodline Power of the Dragon Clan is more domineering, whereas this person's Bloodline was full of auspiciousness and peace.

Could it be... a Bai Ze?

Mu Qingling had knowledge of many Divine Beasts and immediately identified what kind of Divine Beast was before her.

According to the records, this Divine Beast is extremely rare, no less so than the Dragon or Phoenix clans, and like the Qilin Divine Beast, it is an auspicious beast.

No wonder the surrounding Immortal Power is so incredibly abundant; it seems to be because of this Bai Ze's presence.

Mu Qingling's expression was solemn; she did not know if this Yao was a friend or foe.

The middle-aged man naturally saw Mu Qingling's gravity, but his face remained smiling; with a wave of his hand, Mu Qingling's injuries were restored to their original state.

Even her Realm had risen slightly.

This is...?

Mu Qingling looked at him with full confusion; what did this mean?

Although the Bai Ze is an auspicious beast, that does not mean he has no combat power.

On the contrary, the Bai Ze possesses a top-tier Bloodline among Divine Beasts, with incredibly powerful combat strength; furthermore, because of his additional abilities, he is a highly sought-after Divine Beast among both the Yao Race and the Human Race.

But why would he heal her?

The Bai Ze smiled and said, "Little girl, no need to panic. I will not harm you."

Seeing the Bai Ze's gentle expression, which did not seem fake, Mu Qingling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She respectfully cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Senior, for healing me."

Although she didn't know what the situation was with this Bai Ze, at least for now, he had no harmful intentions toward her.

Looking at Mu Qingling, the Bai Ze shook his head: "You are the first person to come to this place in so many years. This place is a Forbidden Ground within the Myriad Beast Divine Mountain, and it is a place one can enter but never leave. I have been imprisoned here for countless years."

"For a little girl like you to come here, it seems the Yao Race has already moved the Divine Mountain away."

The Divine Mountain was naturally the very center of the Myriad Beast Divine Mountain, where those powerful Yao Races resided.

Hearing this, Mu Qingling's expression suddenly changed:

"Are you serious, Senior? One truly cannot leave this place?"

The Bai Ze's strength was terrifyingly powerful; if even he could not leave, what hope did she have?
