Southern Frontier was indeed extraordinarily remote.
Song Zhong had now reached the peak of the Golden Body Realm. Even without using any Divine Weapon, he was faster than cultivators at the first, second, or even third layer of the Longevity Realm.
He also possessed the Wind Sparrow Wings.
Although the Three-Colored Divine Wings were an eighth-grade high-grade Divine Weapon, making them somewhat difficult for him to wield at his current cultivation realm,
using them separately was not a problem.
Little Fox was also a cultivator of the Immortal Realm.
The Flying Boat was simply too large, too conspicuous.
In order not to draw attention or cause unnecessary trouble, they did not use the Flying Boat and instead flew the entire way.
After flying for over forty days, they finally began approaching Southern Frontier.
Song Zhong noticed that the closer they drew to Southern Frontier, the fewer cultivators they saw along the way.
They flew for another three days.
A towering mountain appeared in his field of vision.
The temperature in Southern Frontier was clearly much higher than where their Hundred Peaks Sect was located.
The vegetation here was also exceptionally lush.
Flying above the mountain, they could clearly see that it was like a dividing line.
To the north of the mountain stretched patches of luxuriant green.
On the mountain's southern side, the vegetation was even denser. All manner of trees blotted out the sky and sun, as though concealing the entire world to the south.
Moreover, the plants here were not merely green, but a riot of colors, with vegetation of every shade.
Wave after wave of strange, pungent fragrances drifted through the air.
"This fragrance seems poisonous."
Song Zhong sniffed lightly, then turned to his master and asked, "Master, this is Southern Frontier, right?"
"Yes, we have entered Southern Frontier now. If we continue flying south, we will reach Ten Thousand Poison Valley in one or two days."
Bai Ruorou said softly, "After all, we are not welcome here. If we can avoid causing trouble, we should do our best not to cause any."
"Understood, understood." Song Zhong repeatedly assured her. The moment his words fell, a fierce gale suddenly surged up from below.
Thick branches and leaves on the towering trees were instantly snapped by the gale, while a dense, fishy stench swept over them on the wind.
Before Song Zhong could react, Xia Kening suddenly swung her fair palm. A powerful gust immediately erupted from between her hands.
This gust was even more violent than the incoming gale, and it blew the oncoming wind completely back.
The next moment, three figures flew up from below and blocked Song Zhong's group.
Song Zhong raised his eyes to look.
All three wore gaudy, multicolored clothes, and a huge centipede was embroidered over the chest of each garment.
Among them, the man in the middle, whose complexion was slightly darkened, stared coldly at the three of them and said in a chilling voice, "What are you doing in our Southern Frontier?
Don't you know that Southern Frontier does not welcome outsiders?"
As he spoke, his gaze briefly swept over Song Zhong before settling on Bai Ruorou, who wore a mask. Seeing the tender white skin exposed outside her mask, a flicker of curiosity passed over his face.
Yet his gaze quickly shifted to Xia Kening, and an unmistakable greed appeared in his eyes.
As if she were already his possession.
Afraid that Song Zhong would speak and immediately start a fight, Bai Ruorou hurriedly said, "Sirs, we are merely here on the outskirts. We will not venture deep into Southern Frontier.
A fellow disciple of ours has been injured and needs some spirit herbs, so we came to try our luck.
Please make things convenient for us."
She had come with Song Zhong. Although Southern Frontier rarely interacted with the outside world,
who could say whether any cultivators here knew of Song Zhong? They still needed to be cautious, which was why she was being so polite.
Most cultivators from elsewhere who came to Southern Frontier were also searching for spirit herbs.
Opposite them, hearing that excessively polite voice, the leading man secretly sneered.
The other female cultivator who had just acted was at the first layer of the Immortal Realm, and this female cultivator was being so courteous. Her cultivation was probably not very high either.
With a thought, the aura within his body abruptly surged forth.
Fifth layer of the Immortal Realm!
After fully revealing his power, he brazenly appraised Bai Ruorou and Xia Kening, then asked in a lewd voice, "You want me to make things convenient for you?"
"Yes." Bai Ruorou remained exceedingly polite. "Sirs, we will only remain on the outskirts and absolutely will not go deeper."
Hearing that soft, delicate voice, a lascivious smile could not help appearing on the man's face.
They were being so polite because the power he had revealed was far greater than theirs.
It made sense. Why would a truly powerful expert come here to search for spirit herbs, even if some spirit herbs could only be found in Southern Frontier?
Those top experts had ways to obtain them.
Those who came to Southern Frontier were all cultivators of average strength, ranging from the Golden Body Realm to the Immortal Realm. Even peak Immortal Realm cultivators were few.
Since these people feared him, what more was there to say?
"You won't go deeper, but This Elder intends to thoroughly go deep into you two."
As his words fell, his body moved, and he flew directly before Bai Ruorou. At the same time, he reached for the mask on her face, lifting it as he lewdly laughed. "It has been a long time since I saw such a fair female cultivator leave.
Do you know? This Elder likes fair-skinned female cultivators.
Why cover your face? Let This Elder see whether your face is as white as your skin."
Listening to those lewd words and watching the black palm draw ever closer, a chill suddenly flashed through Bai Ruorou's eyes outside her mask.
Courting death!
The dense spiritual energy within Bai Ruorou suddenly erupted, surging in all directions. It was so rich that it felt as though it might condense into substance.
The expression of the man reaching out changed drastically.
Such dense spiritual energy, such an aura—this was the aura of a peak Immortal Realm cultivator!
And not merely a peak—he was at the very pinnacle of the peak, infinitely close to becoming a Venerable!
How could she be such an expert!
Why would someone on the verge of breaking through to become a Venerable come here to search for spirit herbs!
Why would someone close to breaking through to become a Venerable be so polite to me!
Not good!
The instant he sensed that terrifying spiritual energy, dazzling lightning abruptly appeared over a fair jade-like hand before his eyes, completely enveloping her palm.
The next moment, that lightning-wreathed palm had already struck down.
At such close range, he did not even have a chance to react before horrifying pain exploded in his chest.
Vast, boundless lightning surged into his body. The lightning was so terrifying that it blasted him unconscious in an instant.
Almost simultaneously, a terrifying boom rang out as his body exploded with a bang.
Behind him, the other two Southern Frontier cultivators' expressions changed drastically. They turned and tried to flee into the distance.
She was a peak Immortal Realm cultivator.
The two of them were only at the third layer of the Immortal Realm!
Just as they tried to retreat, Bai Ruorou's figure had already shot toward them.
Song Zhong did not even clearly see how his master acted. He only saw two flashes of blade light, and two heads were already soaring through the air.
She did not wish to cause trouble, but once it could not be avoided, she would eliminate them at the first opportunity!
At Song Zhong's side, Xia Kening looked at the three Southern Frontier cultivators, two dead and one unconscious in an instant. Her face was full of astonishment as she looked at Bai Ruorou and exclaimed softly, "So strong!"
"Of course she's strong. Otherwise, could she be my master?"
Song Zhong felt that it was only natural for his master to be powerful.
The Prison Suppressing Peak he belonged to was one of the Hundred Peaks Sect's Upper Ten Peaks, and aside from his master, the peak masters of the Upper Ten Peaks were all Venerables.
If his master were not strong, could she be the peak master of an Upper Ten Peak?
