2597 The Disappeared Demon Vanquishing Tree (2 in 1)
Of course, Han Fei didn’t really come to help these people out of compassion.
He just wanted to win people’s hearts. As for why he wanted to win people’s hearts, Han Fei didn’t have a clear idea now. However, he felt that the Infinite Mining Area was a suitable place to rise quickly.
He wanted the human race to settle in the Infinite Mining Areas. The Chaotic Wasteland was clearly not suitable for cultivation. The cultivation efficiency in any place in the Sea Realm might exceed the Chaotic Wasteland.
The Infinite Mining Area was undoubtedly a super cultivation place where danger and opportunity coexisted. Han Fei’s current behavior changed the way the itinerant cultivators looked at him, allowing everyone to see his attitude.
He killed a Bloody Hand Mine Devil with a slash and roared, “I’m the Human Emperor. I’ll do what I should do. Since I facilitated the northern expedition, I’ll cover the rear. However, I’ve really seen it for myself. Apart from a few fractions, the Hundred Alliance City is just trash. With your way of doing things, you want to prove Dao? Dream on.”
!!While praising himself, Han Fei belittled the others who had escaped. He even raised this kind of behavior as a way of doing things, which completely changed the opinions of all the itinerant cultivators on him.
Even many of the fleeing factions suspected that it was really because of their way of doing things that they couldn’t grow quickly.
Although what the Human Emperor did was not a good thing and was always accompanied by the death of a large number of strong masters, he seemed to be very principled. For example, now, under the pursuit of this 30,000 perfected Star Transformation Realm Bloody Hand Mine Devils, Han Fei could still step forward and even break his five Great Dao Locks to cover the retreat. How could ordinary people have such a bearing?
In the eyes of these itinerant cultivators, Han Fei immediately turned from the Human Butcher into the dignified Human Emperor.
Han Fei roared, “The perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators among the itinerant cultivators! Take these peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm itinerant cultivators and run! I’ll cover your retreat!”
Hearing this, all the itinerant cultivators were moved.
Someone said, “Human Emperor, can you resist them alone?”
Han Fei sneered. “Perfected Star Transformation cultivators are not worthy of killing me.”
Wushuang roared, “Hurry up, don’t dawdle.”
Then, the itinerant cultivators in the perfected Star Transformation Realm all roared, “All those in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm, gather around the perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators and enter your Origin Stars.”
At this moment, it was not the time to be pretentious. With a second slower, they might have been killed.
Because Han Fei was covering the rear, he was besieged by hundreds of Bloody Hand Mine Devils at this moment. However, at this moment, Han Fei’s fist mark rushed horizontally like a star blooming. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Bloody Hand Mine Devils were blown up by Han Fei.
A Bloody Hand Mine Devil grabbed Han Fei but was shaken away by his soaring Qi and blood. In the next second, Han Fei pulled with both hands and the Bloody Hand Mine Devil was torn apart and exploded.
Wang Xiaojiu unleashed a terrifying speed of nearly 30 times the speed of light. As he slapped the Bloody Hand Mine Devils back, he was shocked. Is this a human? Is this a pure-blooded human? Is a pure-blooded human so terrifying?
He had never seen a ferocious beast below the same realm as him who could achieve such power. He felt that this was a real ferocious beast.
The itinerant cultivators didn’t waste any time. They led the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators and shouted, “Human Emperor, we’re leaving first.”
At this moment, there was no point in saying polite remarks. Although Han Fei looked extremely heroic, not everyone had such a mindset.
Even though they were shocked by Han Fei’s bravery, they knew that they were not Han Fei. They didn’t have five Dao Locks. Even if they were besieged by dozens of Bloody Hand Mine Devils, they would have to die.
They ran now because they recognized their own strength.
In just five seconds, Han Fei was besieged by thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils. And because of Han Fei’s inexplicable strength, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils didn’t chase the others but just attacked him.
Although Han Fei was extremely ferocious, he was still sent flying everywhere and couldn’t resist countless Slaughter Punches.
Han Fei shouted, “Wang Xiaojiu, Wushuang, you retreat too. I can leave in five seconds.”
Wang Xiaojiu was suspicious. “Can you do it?”
Wushuang simply shouted, “Everyone, let’s go.”
Seeing that everyone had left, Wang Xiaojiu looked back at Han Fei, immediately entered the white cave space, and disappeared.
Seeing that everyone had left, Han Fei threw out tens of millions of Clean Stones. In an instant, the world suddenly lit up.
“Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique.”
Divine brilliance descended and enveloped Han Fei, but at this moment, tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils had already caught up with him and blocked Han Fei’s way.
However, when the divine brilliance dissipated and the light between the heavens and earth dimmed, Han Fei was nowhere to be seen.
Buzz!
Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, Han Fei appeared in a sorry state with a swollen face. Fortunately, he had the Twin Divine Technique. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get out.
In the next moment, Han Fei entered the white cave space and rushed towards the army.
While running, Han Fei thought that the bloody hand under the spring of blood must have been targeting him. It was obviously trying to kill him just now. It turned out that the bloody hand was very vengeful.
At this moment, Han Fei felt that something might have happened to Puppet City.
After a while, where the army was, the white cave space flashed, blood Qi surged, and then Han Fei descended in front of everyone.
“Hiss ~”
Many people took a deep breath. No wonder this guy dared to explore the place of inheritance of the Great Monarch alone. They didn’t expect that he could show up after being besieged by so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils.
Then, someone said in delight, “You’ve escaped? Thank you for your help, Human Emperor. We itinerant cultivators will never forget your help.”
Someone cupped his fists. “We can’t thank you enough. Human Emperor, welcome to our camp in the future. We will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest.”
Someone laughed. “The Human Emperor is awesome.”
Han Fei, on the other hand, was as cold as ever. “I’m not trying to save you, but I have no grudge against you. You’ve helped me a lot in this northern expedition. I simply don’t want to see you die.”
This was in line with Han Fei’s personality, which was cold, arrogant, and domineering. However, the itinerant cultivators no longer had a bad impression of Han Fei.
Instead, someone cursed, “Those damn strong masters from the Hundred Alliances! They can’t bear to see us cultivators doing well.”
Someone echoed, “Humph, those people might want to watch us die so that they can occupy our share of resources. These b*stards, I won’t be associated with them in this life.”
At this time, Wang Xiaojiu strolled over. Yes, he strolled over. This guy’s speed was too fast. No one here was faster than him except Han Fei.
Wang Xiaojiu looked at him curiously, and Han Fei frowned. “What are you looking at?”
Wang Xiaojiu asked, “I’m curious how you escaped.”
Han Fei said, “If I wasn’t confident, how could I have walked into the trap? Just like how you were very fast, I naturally have a trump card.”
Wang Xiaojiu shrugged and then said, “Hey! Human Butcher! How about joining our camp of Prehistoric Ferocious Beasts?”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Do I look like a beast?”
Wang Xiaojiu said, “Humans are animals, and animals are beasts. Why can’t you be a ferocious beast? A human ferocious beast!”
Han Fei really wanted to slap him. What f*cking human beast? I am the Human Emperor.
Han Fei said, “Why do you keep coming to me? The ferocious beast army has already run away.”
Wang Xiaojiu said, “It’s not far! I’m just curious about you, but you’re really boring. Let’s chat! Hey, why can you unlock your Great Dao Locks without them appearing?”
Han Fei said, “Take a guess.”
Wang Xiaojiu said, “You’re too much. I’m a dignified king of ferocious beasts. How can you let me guess?”
This strange conversation lasted for half a day.
When they approached the blood spring, Han Fei roared, “The inheritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand is in that direction.”
Han Fei mainly wanted to test it out if it was really the Bloody Hand who was causing trouble.
Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their direction. However, after only half an hour, they saw an overwhelming number of Bloody Hand Demon Devils waiting solemnly. Obviously, they had already been waiting here.
“Sh*t!”
Han Fei secretly cursed, knowing that he had no chance to escape this time. He was too careless. He had thought that the Emperor Sparrow had swallowed the blood spring that the Bloody Hand painstakingly created and could suppress the Bloody Hands for a thousand years. He didn’t expect that this thing would recover so quickly and could command so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Since you are so awesome, why didn’t you do it earlier? You could have just sent an army to besiege me back then.
The northern expedition army, the divine beasts, and the ferocious beasts were all shocked. Damn it! Do you think you can still go over? This is literally courting death!
In the next moment, however, they saw Han Fei turn around to run and say coldly, “It seems that the one below has woken up and is deliberately driving us away.”
Someone said, “Isn’t it obvious? But where does it want to drive us?”
At this time, the leader of the Divine Capital Dynasty took a deep look at Han Fei. Others didn’t know, but he knew. When Han Fei wanted to buy information, he said that this was the Mine Demon Stream. Besides, Han Fei knew about Puppet City.
Therefore, there was only one answer. The place where the Bloody Hand Mine Devils drove everyone to could only be Puppet City. But why didn’t Han Fei say anything about it? Han Fei hadn’t mentioned Puppet City since the beginning. The current situation seemed to be beyond Han Fei’s expectations. This meant that Han Fei didn’t know what would happen below.
However, at this moment, neither the Divine Capital Dynasty nor the Capital of Horror would point out that this was Puppet City. Otherwise, wouldn’t it tell everyone that they had long known where this was?
It could only be said that those who knew had a tacit understanding to keep silent.
Han Fei knew that it was unrealistic to fool them into going to the blood spring now. These people cherished their lives. If they were to fight the tens of thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils again, 30 or 40 percent of these people would die. Although there seemed to be a lot of Bloody Hand Mine Devils now, there were only less than 50,000 of them left. There might even be only more than 40,000.
At first, Han Fei expected that this trip would be perilous because he was going to lead people to explore the blood spring, pretending that he had obtained the inheritance.
Now it seemed that if this road was blocked, he could only go to Puppet City. But then again, Han Fei wasn’t very afraid of confronting the Demon Vanquishing Tree. If worst came to worst, he could cooperate with the Demon Vanquishing Tree to slowly snipe the Bloody Hand Mine Devils in the Mine Demon Stream and gather the power of the Clean Stones to destroy the Bloody Hand.
Anyway, he had a reason, which was that the old turtle and his clone didn’t return. The Demon Vanquishing Tree didn’t come out to clarify, so of course, I thought something happened to them.
Although everyone was anxious along the way, wondering if it would be more dangerous if they went deeper, they had no choice but to be driven away by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils.
This time, after only more than two hours, they finally came to a natural barrier. It was like a white film that formed a wall of heaven and earth. Although they couldn’t see what was inside clearly, they could vaguely see inside the barrier. They even saw that it seemed to be a city inside.
However, when he saw this scene, Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. Where is the Demon Vanquishing Tree?
Yes, the Demon Vanquishing Tree had disappeared.
The Demon Vanquishing Tree wasn’t completely sealed inside. Many of its branches and leaves extended out. Even if they didn’t, the Demon Vanquishing Tree should have made a sound by now!
But now, there was nothing at all. The place where the Demon Vanquishing Tree used to be was empty, without even a shadow. The Demon Vanquishing Tree had disappeared just like that. What the hell happened?
Someone exclaimed, “It’s a city! Where did this city come from?”
All the cultivators were shocked. This city was blocked by a barrier.
Someone was appalled. “Are those Bloody Hand Mine Devils trying to drive us to the barrier and then kill us all at once?”
Someone shouted, “That’s impossible. If they really want to kill us in one fell swoop, they only need to attack us from the front and back. Few people could really break through the siege. Now they’re obviously driving us to enter this city.”
Someone was surprised. “There’s a barrier here. How can we enter? Besides, what’s the Bloody Hand Mine Devils’ purpose?”
At this moment, someone guessed, “Could it be a trial? This is the real trial of the Great Monarch’s inheritance, not the place Human Butcher pointed to?”
For a moment, everyone, including the ferocious beasts and the divine beasts, looked at Han Fei.
Han Fei said without blushing, “I’ve never stepped into the land of inheritance. As I said before, I was beaten out by a terrifying giant hand. Therefore, I guess that the place I pointed to earlier is the real entrance. Besides, I do have a way to enter that entrance.”
When everyone heard that, they immediately had guesses.
Someone said, “Since you haven’t entered it, you’re not sure. Instead of killing us, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils drove us into the city. What does this mean? Are the Bloody Hand Mine Devils only part of the trial?”
Wang Xiaojiu shouted, “Then why did those Bloody Hand Mine Devils attack us crazily?”
The man said, “In order to eliminate the unqualified participants, isn’t this a normal trial segment?”
For a moment, Han Fei was astounded. This guy was really helpful! But logically speaking, his words made a lot of sense!
Of course, knowing the specific situation here, Han Fei knew that things were not as this person said. This was definitely not a trial.
The Bloody Hand controlled the Bloody Hand Mine Devils to drive them here indeed to let them enter the city, but it was definitely not a trial. And the disappearance of the Demon Vanquishing Tree meant that there was no one guarding Puppet City now. What was his purpose for driving them into the city at this time?
Suddenly, Han Fei’s heart skipped a beat. The only change in Puppet City was Old Yuan. This was because with the Demon Vanquishing Tree guarding it, even if the Bloody Hand really appeared, it might not be able to break through this spiritual barrier.
Only Old Yuan had entered Puppet City, so the disappearance of the Demon Vanquishing Tree must be related to Old Yuan.
Now that the Demon Vanquishing Tree was gone, the Bloody Hand moved. However, Han Fei didn’t understand. Since the Demon Vanquishing Tree was gone, the Bloody Hand should have controlled his army of Bloody Hand Mine Devils to break through the barrier! He couldn’t break through the barrier because of the Demon Vanquishing Tree, but now that the Demon Vanquishing Tree disappeared, shouldn’t he give it a try?
Or could it be that the Bloody Hand Mine Devils had already tried, but failed to break the barrier?
Different from others, Han Fei knew that the barrier in the Mine Demon Stream was meant to prevent the ominous’ invasion. When he entered this barrier, the Demon Vanquishing Tree only said “come in and talk”, but Han Fei didn’t actually feel that the barrier blocked him. In other words, for those who weren’t infected by the ominous, this barrier probably wouldn’t stop him.
In any case, they couldn’t care less at this moment. On the side of the Capital of Horror, a person stuck his body to the barrier. Originally, this person was just using a teleportation technique. If anything went wrong, he would immediately abandon this body.
However, this person was surprised to find that he had come in. He immediately walked out of the spiritual barrier and said in shock, “I can enter this spiritual barrier.”
“You can enter?”
“So easily?”
For a moment, countless people looked at each other. Isn’t this too easy to enter? Is it a trap?
However, they didn’t have time to think. The army of Bloody Hand Mine Devils had already arrived, and they didn’t seem to be slowing down at all.
At this time, many people looked at Han Fei, and Wushuang asked him via voice transmission, “Are we going in or not?”
Han Fei roared, “Let’s go!”
With that, Han Fei stepped into it.
Many perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivators entered at the same time as Han Fei. They wouldn’t let Han Fei leave their sight casually. Just now, when Han Fei went back to cover the retreat, no one cared about him because they thought he was courting death.
However, since this spiritual barrier could be entered, it might be a trap, but there was another possibility. This spiritual barrier was meant to resist the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, so it was not guarded against them at all.
What if this was some prehistoric ruin? How many treasures would there be here!
Buzz—
One person after another came in. Once there were too many people doing something, the rest would have no fear. Whether this matter was right or wrong, it was a collective action. Even if it was wrong, countless people would die with him.
In the next moment, when everyone appeared in the outer city of Puppet City, they didn’t find anything unusual.
Almost everyone released their perceptions immediately, including Han Fei. Puppet City was very large.
Han Fei frowned and felt that something was wrong. There were many more turtle man statues in the outer city of Puppet City. Each of them was like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, holding various weapons and standing on both sides of the streets in the outer city. They looked like simple decorations.
Furthermore, the gravity here was 100,000 times greater, and the power of the Heavenly Dao couldn’t be used. It could only circulate in one’s body, and its power could only erupt in a small range. There were no conditions to use divine techniques or any special law. Even Han Fei’s combat power was suppressed by about 20%. Puppet City had completely turned into a military fortress. The buildings and ground here were made of special minerals, and various rune arrays were imprinted on them.
No one was surprised about this. After all, this was an ancient city. How could there be no restrictions?
Han Fei clearly remembered that Puppet City wasn’t like this the last time he came. Although there were statues back then, they were definitely not these statues. At that time, these strange patterns didn’t appear on the ground here.
At this time, someone shouted, “Someone failed to come in and was blocked outside the barrier.”
Everyone looked back and found that there were at least three hundred people, emitting thick black smoke, and then they were immediately covered by the Bloody Hand Mine Devils.
Many people were horrified. Someone said, “The ominous. They were contaminated by the ominous and blocked by this barrier.”
Some people were still scared. When did these people get tainted by the ominous? Some people had even fought side by side with them. How did they get tainted by the ominous?
“Ahhh~”
Before they figured it out, someone suddenly vomited blood and his eyes exploded. Seeing this, everybody grew vigilant.
However, this person pointed in a direction and said, “Don’t perceive the words on that city gate.”
However, it was too late. Immediately afterward, hundreds of people vomited blood and their eyes exploded.
Someone said, “Puppet City. The words “Puppet City” are written on the city gate.”
“Hiss ~”
At this moment, someone exclaimed, “Puppet City? It’s said to be the main city founded by Great Monarch Mystic Martial in the Age of the Gods.”
Most of the itinerant cultivators didn’t know much about the history of the Infinite Mining Area, as well as the former glory of this place, but many major factions did.
Someone from the Capital of Horror said, “In the Age of the Gods, in the Infinite Mining Areas, Great Monarchs gathered. Among them, the relatively famous one was Great Monarch Mystic Martial, who was even more famous than Great Monarch Bloody Hand. Great Monarch Mystic Martial presided over a training ground called the Mine Demon Stream and established Puppet City here to recruit all kinds of geniuses. Later, for unknown reasons, Great Monarch Mystic Martial never returned. Without Great Monarch Mystic Martial presiding over Puppet City, it declined in the end. Even the Mine Demon Stream disappeared from people’s sight.”
Puppet?
Many people immediately looked at the statues. Someone pointed out where this place was, so they noticed the statues immediately. Were these puppets?
However, those statues didn’t have the slightest vitality. They were just stones.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Those statues… They’re all made of minerals.”
“Hiss! They’re really mineral statues, level-five minerals.”
“So many! So many minerals!”
Wait a minute, are these puppets? Who would turn minerals into statues for show? Besides, aren’t there too many of them? There are tens of thousands of statues scattered across 50,000 kilometers.
“If these aren’t puppets, doesn’t it mean that these minerals can be moved away?”
Everyone couldn’t help but be tempted. How big was a piece of mineral? How many pieces of mineral did a statue made of mineral need?
Someone tried to pick up a statue, but before he could do it, someone stopped him.
“Are you crazy? What if it’s a puppet? Will you fight it if it’s alarmed?”
The person said, “If the city gate inside is Puppet City, this should only be the outer city.”
They had to be careful. The number of the northern expedition had plummeted to only 9,200. If they touched the defense mechanism, who would bear all the consequences?
Someone said, “Whether or not these statues are puppets, it’s best not to touch them. We’re here to seek opportunities. We were originally here for the inheritance of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, but that place was stopped by the Bloody Hand. This is the city of the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. How can there be nothing here?”
Someone rolled his eyes. Don’t touch them? How can you not touch them? With so many minerals placed here, how can you not be tempted?
Someone said, “Why don’t we investigate separately? In addition to these statues, there are many buildings and houses here. These buildings are not rotten. Then will there be any treasures in the buildings?”
Someone immediately echoed, “I agree.”
Someone nodded. “That’s a good idea. Even if something happens, other people won’t be implicated.”
Mo Jiu said, “Split up and explore. Don’t go to the city gate first. Don’t look at the words “Puppet City”. That might be written by a Great Monarch. It’s not something ordinary people can read.”
