Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 483 - 482: Gu Yuechan Emerges, Outer Realm Demon
Until the silhouettes of several cultivators appeared.
Ji Haoyuan’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
He instantly recognized that the few who appeared were cultivators from Taichong Sacred Land and Celestial Profound Sacred Land.
Ji Haoyuan had not met those few people before.
At this moment, the expressions on their faces were clearly filled with excitement and eagerness.
Upon seeing the anomaly ahead, they rushed in without a word.
Judging by their actions, it was as if they had seen some sacred treasure within.
And not long after those few people entered, a few more silhouettes appeared.
This time, they were cultivators from the Moral Saint Sect.
While Ji Haoyuan was feeling relieved that cultivators from his Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land hadn’t entered the place, a somewhat familiar figure suddenly rushed in.
Ji Haoyuan recognized that the person entering the anomaly was Feng Zitao from Guangchen Winter.
To be honest, Ji Haoyuan didn’t have a good impression of this person.
Among the reasons.
Besides targeting him when he first entered the Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, he didn’t think much of this person’s character.
In comparison, he had a slightly better impression of Qin Mountain, who had similarly targeted him back then.
Who knows what those people would experience after entering that anomaly.
Is it fortune, adventure, or perhaps...?
Ji Haoyuan’s gaze deepened.
He had a hunch that things might not be that simple.
Fortunately.
For a while after that, no one else entered the place.
However, the calm did not last long.
Just a few days later.
A fierce magical combat suddenly erupted within the anomaly.
Those cultivators from different sacred lands, for reasons unknown, started fighting each other fiercely.
The intensity was almost like a life-and-death battle.
The strangest thing was that someone clearly was at a disadvantage yet insisted on holding their ground, refusing to retreat or escape, determined to fight to the death.
This was clearly abnormal.
It should be known that when they have reached this level of cultivation, they highly value their lives.
No one would genuinely risk their life for a so-called treasure.
Unless they have no way out, no retreat whatsoever.
Only then might they gamble everything.
But the current situation clearly wasn’t like that.
Ji Haoyuan didn’t believe anyone would regard treasures more important than their life and future path.
In that moment, Ji Haoyuan’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
From what he observed, he already smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Because by then, he saw someone severely injured and about to fall.
"Ah!"
Finally, someone screamed.
Then, their body was struck by a giant bell, instantly shattering into pieces.
Even their Primordial Spirit perished together.
This caused Ji Haoyuan’s pupils to contract suddenly.
Someone indeed killed a Void Refining Cultivator from a sacred land for unknown reasons.
This was a breach of fundamental rules.
It should be known, among their various sacred lands.
There has long been an unwritten rule or tacit understanding.
That between different sacred lands, cultivators can compete, and use open or subtle tactics to deal with or target each other.
But there is a red line that must not be crossed.
That is, unless they are completely corrupted and fallen into demonic ways, they must not be killed.
Like when Ji Haoyuan previously killed the goateed man and the blue-shirted man; those situations were exceptions.
But the situation he was witnessing was clearly not of that kind.
This meant that the conflict among those people had clearly escalated beyond normal.
They were almost all exceedingly bloodthirsty, showing no restraint whatsoever.
Because in that instant, Ji Haoyuan saw a Taichong Sacred Land cultivator dying at the hands of someone from the Moral Saint Sect.
Even Feng Zitao from his Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land was in grave danger at the moment.
Suffering multiple injuries.
In normal circumstances, even if there had been grudges between them, there would be some hesitation.
But now, he had no hesitation.
Rescue them?
That doesn’t exist.
As someone watching from the sidelines, Ji Haoyuan could see that above the anomaly, a faint trace of blood color had emerged.
This finally convinced him there was indeed a significant problem with that anomaly.
Buzz!
At this moment, from behind him, where Gu Yuechan was in seclusion, suddenly emanated a powerful wave.
Amid clouds of smoke and mist, the graceful figure of Gu Yuechan appeared beside him.
Ji Haoyuan immediately noticed that Gu Yuechan’s aura was noticeably several times stronger than before.
Especially the third eye in the center of her forehead, which was now radiating endless brilliant light.
"Junior Brother Nanhua, someone seems to have tampered with that place."
Suddenly, Gu Yuechan’s voice sounded beside Ji Haoyuan’s ear.
"If I’m not mistaken, it would be the handiwork of Outer Realm Demons."
"Outer Realm Demons’ handiwork?"
Ji Haoyuan was somewhat surprised.
Although he had some understanding of the Outer Realm Demons.
He surely didn’t have as much knowledge about specific demon kinds as Gu Yuechan did.
After all, she had been on the path longer and had encountered Outer Realm Demons far more frequently than he had.
"Yes, it’s the Outer Realm Demons."
Gu Yuechan nodded gently.
"These demons are skilled in creating tribulation aura, are invisible and formless, extremely difficult to detect.
Those who fall victim often remain unaware of why they are in conflict with others until their death.
Moreover..."
At this point, Gu Yuechan paused slightly before continuing:
"These demons often act together with the Illusion Demon clan.
The former serves as cover, and as a medium to create that tribulation aura, causing people’s desires to unknowingly magnify, thus burdening them with tribulation aura."
"You mean, that place is an illusion created by the Illusion Demon clan?"
Ji Haoyuan pondered thoughtfully.
"Yes, but not entirely."
Gu Yuechan first nodded, then shook her head.
"To be precise, there are indeed some things in that place.
However, the value of those things likely doesn’t warrant such a bizarre anomaly.
Nonetheless.
Precisely because of such true-false, false-true situations, it’s most suitable for the Illusion Demon clan’s methods."
Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan gained a new understanding of the capabilities of those Outer Realm Demons.
Truthfully, if one knows nothing of Outer Realm Demons’ bizarre abilities, it’s indeed very easy to suffer and possibly derail one’s path.
