in the distance, palace after palace collapsed, almost all the courtyards were destroyed, revealing a sense of ancientness. It was still faintly possible to see their past glory and majesty, everything looked so desolate.
Many places were marked with patches of striking blood and scorched earth from thunderous bombardment, corpses could be seen everywhere on the road.
Even if he hadn’t personally witnessed the battle a few days ago, Jiang Hui could somewhat imagine the terrible state of that battle.
Jiang Hui covered the surroundings with his Divine Sense, searching for signs of life.
Looking around, many places were already leveled, with whole swathes of mountains collapsing, ancient and vigorous trees shattered, and rivers being severed midstream.
The ground seemed to have been torn apart by some immense force, opening up large cracks, pitch-black and bottomless, simply resembling canyons.
As Jiang Hui moved on, he felt an increasing sense of desolation.
He arrived at an ancient garden, which was aged and exuding a faint divine radiance. There, he discovered several scattered vines which had now lost their life-glow, looking as ordinary as any mundane object.
Jiang Hui waved his hand, collected the vines into his palm, and continued onward.
Soon, he noticed several pieces of huge flesh and blood.
It was a section of a horn and an arm, brutally severed and dropped on the ground, with the edges of the cut being sharp and smooth. They radiated a scorching ferocity, and a strong killing mist filled dozens of miles around it.
It was amazing that even after being cut off, they still maintained such a terrifying momentum, frightening everything around.
Of course Jiang Hui was unfazed. With a simple pointing of a finger, he broke the mist encapsulating everything around him, grabbed the horn and severed the arm.
The moment the mist was broken, the horn and the severed arm let out a whimper and a crimson light was fleeting, attempting to break free from Jiang Hui’s palm, but he effortlessly suppressed it.
What others regarded as a treasure, was fragile and easily subdued in the hands of Jiang Hui.
“This must be what Ghost Father cut from that Qiong Qi!
Jiang Hui raised his eyebrows slightly and moved his gaze from the horn and the severed arm.
The Qiong Qi was blood-red all over, looking like both a tiger and a bull, with a wide mouth full of fangs. The eyes and horns looked like a wild bull, yet it resembled a fierce tiger.
This was a very ferocious Species of the Ancient Times, once a Sacrificial Spirit worshipped by an entire nation. But after absorbing the faith power, he was unwilling to stay in one place, and devoured all the people in that nation. Very ruthless.
In the battle at the Heaven Mending Pavilion, it was awakened by the ghost father, who cut off a horn and an arm before it escaped into the dense forest and disappeared.
■’Although it is not too precious, taking it back to the village could help the children temper their bodies with the flesh and blood of the Species of the Ancient Times in the Noble Realm.”
Jiang Hui perfectly embraced the tradition of never coming back empty-handed, no matter where he goes.
He waved his hand and a shimmer of light shot out from his fingertips, enveloping the severed arm and the horn, securely held in midair.
Just then,
A weak noise came from a dense forest at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Hui immediately rushed towards the source of the noise and arrived
there in a single step.
Through the gaps in the dense forest, he indeed found a group of survivors.
All of them were teenagers, boys and girls, hiding in a recessed pit at the moment, numbering about fifteen or sixteen. All of them were in a sorry state, with many of them even stained with blood.
All these teenagers had somewhat blank looks in their eyes, revealing confusion about the future. Even though the turmoil had passed, they were still shivering.
Almost all of them came from ordinary families. They had been able to make it here and join the Heaven Mending Pavilion by relying on their own step-by-step efforts and hard work.
But now, their place of survival had been destroyed. The Pavilion Master, the ancestral elders, and the senior elders were either dead or missing. These kids were completely lost and didn’t know what to do next.
These were the people Jiang Hui needed.
The next moment, he casually tossed out dozens of fist-sized black and glossy items that floated down like falling snow, landing firmly at the feet of the teenagers.
These were the guiding stones he had obtained when hatching the dragon egg. They couldn’t provide any enhancements, but they had a unique function, which was guidance.
Jiang Hui had already infused a trace of his divine radiance into them, which could guide these surviving kids to Liu Village.
“What’s this?”
A thin boy was the first to discover these guiding stones that were falling from the sky.
A group of children looked at each other in astonishment, subconsciously picking up what they had found on the ground.
“Hum!”
Almost at the instant this group of kids touched the Guide Stone.
A dazzling ray of light shot up from the stone and rapidly spread in an unknown direction…
“Look! This thing seems to be guiding us!”
A quirky-looking girl was the first to react.
“Follow it, let’s follow it quickly. We might find a way out, it seems like heaven’s intervention to save us!”
Some of the boys and girls who had lost their spirits showed signs of life again in their eyes and got to their feet…
Jiang Hui continued his journey, encountering many surviving disciples from the Heaven Mending Pavilion.
These young boys and girls were all hiding in the ruins, surviving for several days without food or water, relying on their robust vitality.
No wonder Jiang Hui waited in Liu Village for so long without seeing anyone. He initially thought it was because they had been targeted for extermination by other forces. Still, it turned out simply that they had been scared stiff by the battle and dared not move.
You couldn’t blame them for their fear. After all, they were only teenagers, and the battle had been so cruel and brutal. The fact that they could maintain basic calmness was already commendable.
On the contrary, it was Jiang Hui himself. In his previous life, he was too timid even to kill a chicken, but now he could look at corpses scattered all over the ground without any emotional disturbance. It surprised him, too.
“Quite a few survivors.”
Jiang Hui’s divine sense covered the entire Pure Land. Along the way, he had discovered nearly thousands of survivors.
There were ordinary Outer Sect Disciples, as well as the prodigies of the genius camp.
in the remaining time, Jiang Hui crossed almost millions of miles. In the end, his actions were not limited to the disciples who had fled from the Heaven Mending Pavilion.
Any tribe, village, or even newly awakened creatures that he encountered, he dropped a Guide Stone!
Thankfully, there were enough of these stones; otherwise, he might not have had enough for his chaotic plan.
However, Jiang Hui believed that the effects of his actions would be immediate.
Suddenly, three hours flew past.
Once the time was up, Jiang Hui instantly withdrew his God Soul.
After giving Qiong Qi’s horn and severed arm to Old Man Lin, he collected his thoughts and made a rough estimation of how many creatures would come. Then he turned to study his Divine Skills.
The next morning, Jiang Hui did not receive news of anyone’s arrival. The news of Heaven Mending Pavilion’s extermination had spread throughout the Wilderness like the wind.
Countless people were shocked and incredulous, mainly because of the severe consequences.
Many people had a sense of dread. There was restlessness in the Wilderness, with people’s hearts gripped by fear, unlikely to calm down.
These great powers, with the aid of certain means, came to know that a significant disturbance would erupt soon.
For a time, almost everyone was secretly accumulating strength, preparing for the future.
As for Jiang Hui, it wasn’t until the fifth day that figures began to appear gradually.
The first to arrive were naturally the largest group of teenagers he had first discovered.
After traveling day and night, they finally arrived in front of Liu Village. “Senior brother, where are we? Why are we led to a village?
The youngest girls looked around in surprise and curiosity, peering through the gaps in the fence.
Once they smelled the rich scent of cooked meat wafting in the air, these plump and tender little girls couldn’t help but swallow hard.
On the road, they ran almost all the way, with very few breaks. The only thing they ate was the charred meat scraps cooked by their senior brothers..
