Chapter Fourteen: The Road Cut Off

  Thirty miles away from the Wind Tooth tribe, Shi Zhi Xuan suddenly waved his hand, and more than 5,000 people stopped in their tracks.

  "Shi Xiong!" Huo He said in a low voice, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

  "There's a bloody aura." Shi Zhi Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "We've been discovered."

  "What's the use of finding out, more than 5,000 people have arrived at the border of his Wind Tooth tribe and can't find him. That old man Feng Tong can even bury himself in the ground!" Huo Li Qianlang sneered coldly, "But I'm afraid that the ancestors of the Wind Tooth tribe won't want to see him either, and he'll end up as a lonely ghost wandering in the tomb."

  "Not bad, our two major bloodlines join forces, even if he is from the Fengya tribe and has a good relationship with the Xian tribe, he will absolutely not be a match for us. This time we will eliminate the hidden dangers first, then head to the other end of the Panlei mountain range, and launch a pincer attack on the Heifeng tribe, completely annihilating this gathering of Xian tribe warriors!" Shi Hu's eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

  Xiao Yi's eyes also flashed with cold light, and on that day, the Jing Yuan Valley was ten miles away. He still remembered the tender body hanging from the treetops, and the young life that had passed away like this. This was a taboo, not only the taboo of the entire Blood Stone tribe but also Xiao Yi's own taboo.

  In the era of technological advancement, trampling on life is also subject to condemnation. Years ago, Xiao Yi had heard that someone had stolen a car and suffocated an infant who was less than a month old in the vast snow. In Xiao Yi's view, people can lose their way, but they cannot eradicate their humanity. When humanity is lost, what walks on this earth is just a soulless beast.

  A distance of thirty miles is traversed in an instant.

  In the crescent-shaped valley, the earth shook, and more than 5,000 ethnic warriors marched forward, producing a mighty army of thousands of horses and men. The birds and beasts in the vast ancient forest flew away in shock, and the leaves rustled to the ground.

  The scorching sun hung in the sky, but a faint chill arose from the mountain valley ahead, and even frost appeared on the ground. This was the killing intent of over 5,000 people, forming a tangible anomaly that affected the natural world.

  Rumble!

  After counting his breath, hundreds of ancient trees in front of the mountain valley burst at the same time, a flame flood spread out, and the scorching blood gas swept away the cold air in this place, the air slightly twisted, and became extremely hot again.

  Looking at the strange-shaped valley in front of him, Xiao Yi knew that this was the Wind Tooth Tribe's territory, Wind Tooth Valley. The Wind Tooth Valley, because it is located in a zone of strong winds, has been eroded by the wind over time, and has become crescent-shaped, resembling a broken giant tooth. The entrance is easy to defend but difficult to attack, while the back is a cliff, and only the secret passage dug by the Wind Tooth Tribe can pass through smoothly.

  "Wind桐!"

  Huǒ Hé burst into a loud shout, his voice carrying far and wide into the Wind Tooth Valley under the drive of his powerful cultivation. In an instant, the entire Wind Tooth Valley was filled with Huǒ Hé's voice.

  The silence is deafening, with no one responding. The empty valley mouth is also unguarded, and even weeds are growing wildly. The entire valley exudes a desolate atmosphere.

  "Not so!" shouted Qianyuan Qianfu. "There's no human aura here, only the bloody smell that hasn't dissipated yet, in Fengya Valley."

  Xiao Yi's eyes slightly condensed, indeed, from the Wind Tooth Valley, a thick and intense bloody smell was transmitted out, could it be that something unexpected had happened to the Wind Tooth tribe? However, he still felt somewhat uneasy, vaguely having an ominous premonition.

  Similarly, Shi Zhi Xuan and others also sensed it. Huo Li Qian Fu Lang blinked his eyes and said: "What's there to fear? The Dragon's Pool and the Tiger's Den? I'll go take a look!"

  He strode straight towards the valley entrance, and Huo He hesitated for a moment but did not stop him. He knew that his younger brother was eccentric in nature, but he was absolutely not a coarse person. The Wind Tooth Valley was indeed strange, and if they didn't investigate clearly, rushing in blindly might lead to great disaster.

  Arriving at the valley entrance, Huo Lian Qian Zhang took a deep breath, and with a flick of his mouth, the crimson bronze mallet behind him fell into his hand. The blood and energy surged, and the copper patterns on it suddenly came alive, as if they had gained life, connecting with Huo Lian Qian Zhang's aura. As he stepped into the narrow valley, Huo Lian Qian Zhang looked around, but was slightly stunned, for what he saw was an empty valley.

  In the Wind Tooth Valley, stone houses stand in a row, with ancient stone wells and black ironwood stakes occasionally visible. In front of each stone house, meat is sometimes seen drying in the sunlight, dried to a shiny oiliness, with occasional drops of oil dripping down.

  Apart from this, there were countless warriors, bows and arrows, all abandoned on the ground. At first glance, it seemed like a staggering number of tens of thousands, which made Huo's heart skip a beat. From these warriors, he could clearly sense the thick smell of blood, some belonging to the Wild Beasts, others to alien tribes, and yet others to the Feng Ya tribe's warriors. Their weapons were now scattered all over this place.

  His gaze swept across, and Huo Liancheng continued on his way for several miles. In the desolate mountain valley, there was only the sound of his footsteps, the surroundings were eerily quiet, and the voices of the two tribes had long since faded away.

  This made him feel a bit uneasy in his heart. He muttered to himself that if it were any other day, he would never have had such a feeling, and today was indeed somewhat unusual.

  "Huh?"

  Suddenly, the fire stopped in front of a thousand people. He looked down at the ground, and under the sunlight, there was a faint white mist rising up. At first, it was just a thin layer, but soon it spread out quickly.

  His legs sank into the white mist, and there was some coolness, but Huo Li's long body was not cold, yet he shivered. He felt his footsteps becoming heavy, as if he had fallen into a vast quagmire, unable to advance or retreat.

  "Bastard!"

  Hu Lian's anger surged, he let out a loud roar, and the crimson bronze mallet smashed down, releasing a deep blue aura that whistled as it charged into the white mist. However, like a mud cow entering the sea, it vanished without a trace. The white mist slightly rippled, but instead of dispersing, it grew even thicker, slowly spreading to his thigh roots.

  A sudden movement in his heart, Huo Li's voice burst out loudly and clearly, the sound waves rolling and spreading in all directions.

  However, Huo Qifang soon discovered that something was amiss, as he had not received any response. This place was only a few miles away from the valley entrance, and with his cultivation, he should have been able to hear even if it were ten miles away. Could it be that some unexpected event had occurred?

  "No, it's this white fog!"

  Huǒ Lí Qiān Fū cháng jiē zhe mù guāng yī jǐn, tā fā xiàn nà xiē bái wù yuè lái yuè nóng, yuǎn fāng gǔ kǒu yǐ jīng kàn bù qīng chǔ, tā de shēng yīn, pà shì bèi zhè xiē bái wù quán bù xī shōu le jìn qù, yì rú tā zhī qián de zhàn qì.

  In the midst of white fog, every step is laborious, requiring 99% of one's strength to take a single step forward. Even if it were mud, one should be able to struggle free from it, but this white fog is like a stubborn parasite that refuses to disperse.

  "Who's there? Come out!"

  No one responded. Huo Qifeng's heart sank, and he was originally here to test the waters. Now it seemed that not only had he put himself in a difficult position, but even the message couldn't be delivered.

  A thick fog spread out, slowly shrouding the entire Wind Tooth Valley's sky and earth. The sunlight was blocked out, and in Huo Lian Cheng's eyes, there were no other colors left.

  Outside of Wind Tooth Valley.

  A wisp of fragrance passed, Huo He's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Huo Li had entered the valley for some time. No matter what, he should have noticed something by now, but there was no sound at all. Even if it were a powerful cultivator with a strong spiritual pulse, it would be impossible to kill him in an instant without making any noise. At least, there should be some movement.

  At this time, a faint white mist emerged from the Wind Tooth Valley, and this mist was like gauze, emitting a fishy sweet smell, which was the taste of fresh blood.

  His complexion changed, Xiao Yi seemed to understand something, and he said in a low voice: "It's an array!"

  What!

  His eyes suddenly changed, even the most ordinary formation was not something that a lower bloodline could touch. Every formation contained endless mysteries, and lower bloodlines simply didn't have the foundation to study them carefully. Only by reaching the upper bloodline realm could one attempt to touch it, like the Thunder Sword Battalion, could they enter the hall.

  The Xian clan actually mastered the formation method, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary formation method. Such a large-scale formation that covers an area of tens of miles in diameter is rarely seen even among the top bloodlines. It's likely that even the Lei Jian Bing Department would give it sufficient attention.

  The Huo River saw that the current situation in Fengya Valley was fraught with danger. Under the shroud of the formation, neither of the two major bloodlines had anyone familiar with the formation layout. If they rashly entered, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, leaving no room for survival.

  Shi Zhi Xuan was also silent, but now it seems that it's not a small trouble. The immortal clan had already made preparations. If they temporarily retreated, they could preserve the current situation for a while. But if they entered the valley, they would likely be killed without exception. The array method was even more terrifying than what Xiao Yi had described before. It was clear that the immortal clan had carefully arranged this array in the Feng Ya tribe. This time's array was even stronger than before. They were completely unaware of it, and once they entered the valley, they would be at their mercy.

  Just as everyone was hesitating, in the Wind Tooth Valley, the white fog slightly rippled, and a hoarse voice transmitted out.

  "You've finally arrived."

  This voice is hoarse, like dry firewood, although not loud, it seems to reverberate in everyone's mind, penetrating every nook and cranny, revealing an astonishing spiritual will.

  "Xian clan's patriarch!" Huo He shouted coldly.

  "The Wind Tooth Tribe is quite good, you will meet them soon, and I will also come out to see you soon. If you can't wait, let's go into the valley for a chat."

  That hoarse voice rang out again, echoing in the valley. Xiao Yi concentrated his mind to respond, things were a bit beyond expectations. If he was right, the Feng Ya tribe people in Feng Ya Valley would probably be in a precarious situation now. Dawn has arrived, let's come and vote for the Human Emperor!
