All Beneath the Transcendent Are Dust
In Wu Yin's last words, the last sentence was actually related to him: she wanted to give him a scripture.
At this moment, Wang Xuan was completely silent, feeling utterly empty inside.
He used the alias Wang Xiao when he was in the Old Earth. He was the only grandmaster in the field of Old Arts after Old Chen, and he was extremely talented.
Wu Yin specially found a scripture for him, and even when she had a premonition that she might die, she mentioned it and asked her family to give him the scripture.
"You guys go out of the Great Canyon first, I'll go look around some more." Wang Xuan and the white colt walked forward together.
This time, he ventured more than twenty miles into the distance until a dark abyss blocked his path.
There was no way to go any further; this was the deepest part of the canyon, where clouds and mist swirled.
Moreover, there are various astonishing battle marks on the cliff.
There were fragments of silver scales and some black fur on the ground. Large areas of blood had dried, but it still exuded a terrifying aura.
Hundreds of meters of the cliff face have collapsed, and there are black cracks one or two feet wide everywhere, densely packed, indicating that an extraordinary battle must have taken place!
Wang Xuan whispered, "Wu Yin..."
She was captured by a monster, and so much time has passed. How could she possibly be alive? Normally, she should be dead by now.
If he hadn't seen her last words, it would have been alright. But having witnessed them, Wang Xuan felt a lump in his throat and stood there for a long time, staring at the abyss without moving.
Only at the very end did he slowly turn and leave.
The white colt was silent, extremely wary of this place.
"I'm still too weak," Wang Xuan murmured in the night.
Ultimately, it comes down to strength. He really wanted to go down into the abyss, even if it was just to bring back Wu Yin's remains.
But he can't do it now, and he's very unwilling to accept it.
Zhong Qing, Zheng Rui, Master Yang Lin, and the others did not leave and remained waiting in the same spot.
They will never forget what happened today.
Those familiar to them were hunted down by their own kind, their heads chopped off, and they fell one by one into pools of blood. They themselves narrowly escaped death, as if they had walked through hell.
"Is Qing Han... still alive?" Zheng Rui broke the silence.
He witnessed Zhao Qinghan being grabbed by the monster and lifted into the air. At the critical moment, he hesitated and didn't dare to rush over. Now he is very depressed.
At the same time, he was also wondering if he would dare to rush forward if he had to go through it all again.
"I'm alive." Seeing that the others were also looking at him, Wang Xuan briefly recounted his experiences that he could share.
The group was genuinely grateful to Wang Xuan for coming to find them.
"Thanks, Brother Ma. I wouldn't have dared to come without it." Wang Xuan shook his head, declining the credit he deserved.
The group was shocked. This was actually a Great Grandmaster- level foal? Everyone's eyes changed.
Wang Xuan said, "It was wounded and collapsed in the forest. Qing Han stopped its bleeding and treated its wounds. Then it wouldn't leave, probably to repay her kindness."
Great Grandmaster Horse emitted white light from his nose, then turned to look at Wang Xuan, as if to say, "Can I leave now?"
Wang Xuan ignored it.
The group walked out of the Great Canyon and arrived at the place where the Qin Family had blocked the road. The smell of blood was pungent.
The corpses were gone, and pairs of green eyes were watching from all over the forest.
Clearly, in those places, not long after a gluttonous feast ended, the corpses were carried off by wild beasts.
"A monster is coming!" someone whispered.
In the darkness, a white-haired monster approached, with the face of a feline, the powerful body of an ape, walking upright, and blood still trickling from the corner of its mouth.
It had just eaten some dead people, but it wasn't satisfied, so it wanted to attack the living now.
"Tiger-faced Ape, incredibly strong, a monster at the Grandmaster level!" one of the veteran survivors of the expedition exclaimed, his heart sinking.
However, as soon as the monster got close, it sensed Great Grandmaster Horse's unusual behavior and turned to run away.
Bang!
However, it still got shoved. Great Grandmaster Horse had a bad temper, so he chased after it, raised his front hooves, and shoved it.
The Tiger-faced Ape screamed in agony as one of its arm bones was broken by a kick, and it fled without looking back.
The other green gazes in the shadows all went out, and in an instant, various running sounds came, then the whole forest fell silent.
Only then did everyone truly believe that Little Ma's strength was indeed at the Great Grandmaster level!
"All of you wounded, get on your horses." Wang Xuan noticed that three of them were injured and had difficulty walking, so some of them couldn't keep up.
The three were surprised to hear this, and then showed great gratitude.
Because both Zheng Rui and Zhong Qing, who had regained some strength, were walking and had no chance to ride Great Grandmaster- level white horse.
Soon after, Wang Xuan noticed that Zhong Qing was falling behind, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? You're swaying with every step, and your legs seem so weak. Do you want to squeeze onto the horse with them?"
Zhong Qing wasn't actually injured; she was mainly frightened by the water snakes, and she hasn't fully recovered yet.
Hearing these words, she gritted her teeth. Was Wang Xuan doing this on purpose? What kind of rubbish was he spouting? It was so unpleasant to hear.
Wang Xuan didn't think that much about it. After he finished speaking, he was lost in thought again. Today was a day of ups and downs for him.
Seeing his familiar expedition team members being chased and beheaded one by one, he was enraged and killed more than twenty people in one go.
He thought it over carefully, and if he could do it all over again, he still couldn't help but take action.
He sympathizes with the weak and has a soft spot in his heart. But when he sees someone not out of hatred but with a heartless desire to kill innocent people, his heart hardens and he acts without mercy.
"We need to speed things up," Wang Xuan said, fearing that if they went on until the wee hours of the morning, they wouldn't be able to meet up with Zhao Qinghan, Zhou Yun, and the others.
Then, he picked up Little Zhong and placed her behind the horse's neck.
Zhong Qing almost screamed in surprise. This guy is just too straight!
She thought that, no matter what, she was a famous beauty. But in the swamp, Wang Xuan first showed her utter disgust, preferring to have the horse carry her rather than carry her on his back. Later, he even threw her into a mud pit, and now he casually picked her up and threw her onto the horse's neck.
She didn't know what to say, after all, this person had saved her.
Before midnight, the group returned safely and reunited with Zhao Qinghan, Zhou Yun, and others.
"Sis, why do you look like a dirty monkey?" Zhong Cheng had barely opened his mouth when his sister beat him up.
Even late at night, the place was bustling with activity; having survived the ordeal, they were overjoyed.
Some people were crying because a close friend had died.
Zhou Yun sighed, unusually melancholy. The Wu Family and the Zhou Family had a good relationship, but now that Wu Yin was dead, it would be difficult to explain to the Wu Family when he returned.
With a touch of sadness, he expressed his gratitude to Wang Xuan. Although the person had not been found, such rescue missions often carried the risk of death.
"Brother Wang, I'll remember this favor. If you need anything when you get back to New Star, just let me know!" Zhou Yun said solemnly.
After being beaten up by his sister, Zhong Cheng also came over and formally thanked her, sighing, "The Wang Family members are all extraordinary. After we return to New Star, I will give you a secret manual that has been passed down through generations. If you need anything else, just let me know!"
As for the person who was rescued, he had already thanked Wang Xuan repeatedly on the way.
Of course, the Great Grandmaster Horse is also regarded as a divine beast that brings peace and safety, and people would cut several bundles of fresh grass for it in the dead of night.
Wang Xuan whispered to Zhao Qinghan about the Qin Family's stronghold.
"After returning to New Star, I estimate that several families will go together to force the Qin Family to resign," Zhao Qinghan said. However, she frowned, noting that it wasn't necessarily only the Qin Family that had a stronghold.
Upon closer examination, the situation in the Secret Realm is quite complex, and such things must have happened before, but they did not cause a major upheaval in the New Star.
In the dead of night, everyone was awakened, feeling as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, their scalps about to split open.
The sky darkened considerably, the stars disappeared, and only the blood moon hung in the sky.
Moreover, there were two blood moons, hanging low in the dark sky.
Call!
The wind howled, leaves flew everywhere, many branches were broken by the gale, and the cold was biting.
The two blood moons moved rapidly, then receded into the depths of the secret realm.
For a long time, no one spoke, and everyone was covered in cold sweat.
"How can there be two blood moons?!" someone exclaimed in a trembling voice.
"It was a terrifying monster that flew past at very low altitudes, obscuring the stars and moon," Wang Xuan said in a deep voice.
He felt his own insignificance once again. No wonder Old Chen said that in ancient times, even Great Grandmaster were not considered true practitioners, but rather "amateurs".
This is not without reason!
You haven't truly embarked on the journey until you reach an extraordinary level!
That was a monster that looked like a bear, with a pair of jet-black wings on its ribs. With a gentle flap, a strong wind rose from the ground, the towering ancient trees shook violently, and fallen leaves flew everywhere.
It seemed to be in a hurry, passing through here.
Not only Wang Xuan, but half of the people had roughly seen the outline of the monster, and now they all felt a sense of powerlessness. That kind of monster would probably require a warship to fight!
In any case, after this enormous creature passed by, the entire forest fell silent. The mournful howls of various monsters ceased, and everyone calmed down and slept soundly.
Early in the morning, people heard thunder and saw the distant mountains and forests exploding, indicating that a fierce battle had broken out.
Then, the sound disappeared, and two Dao Body broke the sound barrier, crossing the sky, stepping on ancient trees and stepping over the canopy, like two large birds fleeing.
Behind them, white mist churned, and the trees they stepped on all exploded on the spot.
A creature was chasing the two people. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a monster that resembled a rat, but much larger.
Its fur is pure black, its body can be more than two meters long, its whiskers tremble, and its two golden bean-like eyes shine brightly.
Apart from its large size, it is almost identical to a mouse.
Surprisingly, it ran upright on its hind legs, using the tree canopy as a springboard to chase the two men.
Thump!
The two people and the rat landed on a mountaintop, causing the vegetation to explode and another fierce battle to break out. The cliff face was shattered, with most of it falling down. It was... an extraordinary battle!
"Old Zhong!" Wang Xuan whispered, looking at Zhao Qinghan. She had guessed right. Zhong Yong hadn't left; he had been hiding in the secret place all along!
Moreover, it seems that Zhong Yong is extremely powerful. After his Extend Life, his strength has become even greater, and he is now at the extraordinary level.
What's most surprising is that there's another old man beside him who's also a superhuman. That's quite terrifying; there's actually someone else who's hidden so deeply, just like Old Zhong.
"Holy crap, Old Zhong is usually terrified of death, but I never imagined he was this powerful, daring to fight a superhuman monster!" Zhou Yun was shocked, then his blood ran cold, and he said, "Let's run!"
If the battlefield shifts, they will all die.
In fact, a group of people had already taken action, running at full speed, not wanting to become cannon fodder in the extraordinary battlefield, as that big rat was incredibly ferocious.
"Zhong Yong, you tricked me!" another old man roared.
"Little Song, if you think I'm messing with you, then don't chase after me. Let's each run for our lives," Zhong Yong said.
Then he ran away again, and the over ninety-year-old "Little Song" chased after him closely, afraid that he would be killed by the rat if he got separated from the group.
"Is this the old man from the Song Family? Wasn't he supposed to have died two years ago? There's even a grave for him. How did he appear in the secret place, and become extraordinary?!" Zhou Yun muttered.
Then, he looked at Zhong Cheng and said, "Your Old Zhong is such a troublemaker. He's the one who caused all this trouble. I've figured it out now, he won't stop until he gets the Earth Immortal Grass!"
Little Zhong and Zhong Cheng frowned and ignored him!
"However, even though Old Zhong is already extraordinary, he was still chased by a rat. What he did to deserve such wrath?" Zhou Yun exclaimed in astonishment.
At this moment, Wang Xuan felt a deeper sense of urgency and a strong desire to become stronger and improve his abilities.
Only by becoming stronger could he go to the depths of that Great Canyon to look for Wu Yin. He would feel guilty if he couldn't see her one last time.
He wants to become a superhuman!
Whoosh whoosh!
Old Zhong, with his typically long legs that are common in the Zhong family, actually ran towards them!
Zhou Yun exclaimed, "Damn it! Old Zhong isn't just going to outlive his son to death, he's going to kill his great-grandson too, and wipe out all his descendants so that he can forever suppress the Zhong family!"
