Chapter 608: It Was All a Deception
They walked for about an hour.
Gu Heng then discovered a town, or rather, the ruins of a town!
When he saw the ruins, he had a very bad feeling. It was so quiet here. He had walked for so long and suddenly saw traces of human habitation, only to find that the place was destroyed.
The quieter the place, the greater the danger!
Gu Heng couldn't help but perk up and cautiously walked into the ruins. He eventually saw a scene of utter devastation, with skeletons lying haphazardly, some even covered by sparse grass. They must have been dead for many years, their last remaining nutrients taken away by the earth.
“There was a fierce battle here.” Gu Heng frowned. It’s normal for people to die. No matter what, this Little Xuantian Realm is not a utopia. It’s impossible for people not to die.
only……
What caused their deaths?
Gu Heng searched around and found only a pile of human skeletons, all of whom had been dead for a very long time. He had no interest in finding any evidence, but he felt increasingly uneasy and decided to run away as soon as possible.
This Lesser Mystic Realm is no pushover!
"……Um?"
"Is there a living person?"
Suddenly, Gu Heng heard a whisper in his ear, which sounded surprised, yet also seemed to carry a hint of excitement.
He was startled and turned around to look, only to find a ball of will-o'-the-wisp floating beside him!
A ghost... oh, just a will-o'-the-wisp. Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
In this eerie place, even encountering a ghost felt like a sign to relax. However, the ghostly fire finally spoke: "Heh, I didn't expect that anyone would dare to set foot on this forbidden land filled with resentment."
"Excuse me, sir... where is this place, and how do I get out?"
Gu Heng looked around. Since there was no one else around, he had no choice but to ask the will-o'-the-wisp for directions.
"here?"
"This is the 'Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls'! It's the most dangerous forbidden area in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm!"
The will-o'-the-wisp flickered, then uttered words that made Gu Heng break out in a cold sweat. But that wasn't all. The will-o'-the-wisp rose and fell, staring at Gu Heng for a long time before finally saying, "You're too weak, kid. You won't survive here."
The sigh sounded genuinely regretful. He swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Are you joking, brother?"
Do you think I would joke with you like that?
The will-o'-the-wisp's voice suddenly turned cold, and Gu Heng suddenly realized why this guy was living here like a ball of will-o'-the-wisp.
This so-called "Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls" ruined him!
This place is indeed very dangerous!
Gu Heng knew his idea was right; the calmer the place seemed, the more treacherous it appeared to be!
"I don't know who you offended to be thrown into this place, or if you just wandered here by mistake... Anyway, I'll tell you the situation so you can die knowing why."
The will-o'-the-wisp unfolded its story in detail.
"This place is called the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls because a Dead Soul Witch King is imprisoned here, and it is said that his strength is at the level of a Celestial Venerable!" "A Dead Soul Witch King? A Celestial Venerable?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng got goosebumps all over his body.
It's not that the name "Dead Soul Witch King" is particularly scary; in fact, it's too cliché and doesn't sound impressive. The key is that it's a Celestial Venerable!
Gu Heng has memorized all the so-called cultivation systems of the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm. The Immortal Venerable's ranking among them is definitely not low; at least, he is someone Gu Heng still has to look up to.
Fortunately, he doesn't actually have much anxiety about his abilities, otherwise he would have developed an illness by now.
"Well, the Dead Soul Witch King is said to be a ghost released from the underworld during the Five Realms War. It was almost annihilated on the battlefield, and then escaped to this Little Mystic Heaven Realm when it was on the verge of death."
"The witch king was seriously injured, but he was eventually captured and kept here."
The will-o'-the-wisp tells an ancient story.
Gu Heng was still puzzled. If the Dead Soul Witch King had been captured and imprisoned here, why was this place still so dangerous?
"Hehe, I have something else to tell you..."
The will-o'-the-wisp cackled, and Gu Heng always felt that it was half-mad and half-conscious, making it hard to say exactly what state it was in.
"That damned Ancient Immortal Venerable wants to release this half-dead Witch King and use him to fight the Demon Realm!"
"That stupid dragon is just the kind of creature without a whip!"
"He naively thought that the Witch King, having been marked with a soul-controlling seal, could be used by him, and even fed this dead soul Witch King fresh flesh and blood!"
The more the will-o'-the-wisp spoke, the more uneasy Gu Heng felt.
If that's the case.
So, the incredibly terrifying monster that was imprisoned here has actually been released, and it even has fresh flesh to eat...
Because boatloads of "naive little cuties" are being sent here!
Damn! Those people really were up to no good.
They talk about accepting trials, making it sound so real, but in the end it's just to select food for the dead soul witch king here?
Gu Heng suddenly became very angry. He said without pride that he was a veteran of many battles, but the troubles he was encountering now were getting bigger and bigger!
For example, the huge scam you are currently in!
The ancient immortal venerable of the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm brought up all the people of the Mystic Heaven Realm, especially the talented young cultivators, and then fed them all to the Death Soul Witch King!
How many people would die?
Gu Heng didn't even dare to think about it, but he just wanted to hitch a ride to the Little Xuantian Realm to experience the so-called "local customs and culture," so he definitely couldn't give up now!
"Brother, I don't know why you died here, but please show me the way out!" Gu Heng said, clasping his hands in a fist salute to the ghost fire.
He finally made it to the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, he couldn't just run away in a sorry state without seeing anything!
"Hehehe... You want to leave?"
The will-o'-the-wisp let out an even more eerie laugh, but this time it simply vanished.
"Only death can take me away from here!"
A terrifying roar lingered in the air.
