Wu Shattered Star River

Ao Xi'er blinked her eyes in confusion and relayed, "No, I didn't notice anything. Let me ask them!"

Ao Xi'er woke up the other cultivators and asked them. One young master, after hearing about it, said, "I vaguely felt something eight days ago, but it was fleeting. I thought I was mistaken."

Another young master nodded and said, "That's right, I felt something eight days ago too. It was like a wild beast was spying on us in the dark, but the feeling disappeared quickly and hasn't returned, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Ao Xi'er told Jiang Han about the two young masters' discoveries, and Jiang Han's expression became serious.

If only one young master had such a feeling, it could be a mistake, but since two of them felt it, there was definitely a problem.

A strong cultivator or a powerful beast was spying nearby, but only investigated from a distance before leaving immediately, so it didn't alarm the Sea God Clan cultivators.

"Alright, continue cultivating and don't open the formation easily!"

Jiang Han instructed them, then controlled the Black Blood Mountain to leave. He decided to investigate the area within a ten-million-mile radius to see what kind of ghostly thing was lurking nearby.

Lei Zhen was his friend, he was an honorary elder of the Thunder Dao, and the Sea God Clan was a clan of the Sea King Supreme God, so he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

Not to mention that Pei Sui and the others were nearby, and as the leader of the Illuminati, he naturally had to take good care of everyone.

He went to Pei Sui's side again, exchanged a few words with Pei Sui, and then, using this area as the center, circled around to carefully investigate one by one.

He had the Black Blood Mountain, so he was very confident. He flew close to the ground, carefully investigating bit by bit. Unfortunately, after investigating for three days and searching the surrounding million miles, he didn't find anything.

Lei Zhen, Ao Xi'er, and Pei Sui didn't crush their jade talismans to warn him, so Jiang Han continued to investigate.

"Hmm?"

On the fifth day, he passed by a large mountain and discovered a huge cave in the mountain's belly. When his soul sense swept over it, a black shadow flashed and disappeared into the depths of the cave.

There was nothing unusual about the mountain peak, but inside the cave, he could see traces of beasts walking. On the rocks of the cave, he could see traces of beast claws.

"Is there a powerful beast inside?"

Jiang Han blinked. The Heavenly Palace's information didn't say there was a powerful beast here. The strongest beast in the historical records was only comparable to an ordinary Dao Ancestor realm cultivator.

If it was an ordinary beast, how could it have such a powerful soul sense that even Lei Zhen couldn't detect it?

They had been here for seven years, and this place wasn't far from where Lei Zhen, Ao Xi'er, and Pei Sui were cultivating. Had this beast not investigated for so many years? Did it wait seven years to investigate Lei Zhen and the others?

Also, since it investigated, why didn't it attack?

Jiang Han couldn't figure it out. He still didn't rush to investigate the cave, afraid of a trap.

The Righteous Daoist had divined a hexagram for him, saying that he would have a great calamity this time, so he naturally had to be careful.

He circled the cave again, carefully investigating and confirming that there were no man-made traces nearby. After thinking about it, he flashed out of the Black Blood Mountain.

He was more than a hundred miles away from the cave. He condensed the power of chaos and then released a blade of light, fiercely slashing towards the cave.

"Chi la!"

The blade of light condensed from the power of chaos was extremely powerful, tearing the space apart and slashing into the cave.

"Boom!"

The cave exploded, and the mountain was cut with a huge gully. Then, the mountain above couldn't withstand such great gravity and collapsed to one side with a crash.

The mountain collapsed, mud and rocks rolled down, the ground shook, and smoke and dust covered the sky. The surrounding tens of thousands of miles could feel the vibrations.

After Jiang Han slashed out a blade of light, he immediately entered the Black Blood Mountain, using his soul sense to carefully sense.

There were some wild beasts nearby, all frightened by the commotion and fleeing in all directions. Jiang Han's soul sense focused on investigating the inside of the cave, investigating the mountain body.

The mountain body was easily shattered by him, which meant that there were no formations inside. His soul sense didn't find any formations.

He felt a little relieved. If it was just a beast, then there wouldn't be any big problems.

Even if this beast's combat power was comparable to the eighth level of the Dao Ancestor realm, so what? He had the Black Blood Mountain, so he was completely fearless. There couldn't be a beast comparable to the ninth level of the Dao Ancestor realm here, right?

If there really was one, none of the cultivators who entered here would be able to live, they would have been slaughtered long ago.

The mountain collapsed, but the black shadow didn't come out. Jiang Han waited for a moment, then controlled the Black Blood Mountain to slowly fly towards the area where the cave was located.

He continued to probe with his soul sense, wanting to investigate the situation at the bottom of the cave to see if he could find out what was at the bottom of the cave?

His soul sense quickly found the cave. He followed the cave all the way down and discovered that the cave was very large and deep. His soul sense could probe for thousands of miles, but he couldn't reach the bottom.

However, when he arrived above the cave, he sensed a trace of a beast's aura.

"It's indeed a beast!"

Jiang Han sensed it again and confirmed that there was a beast deep in the underground cave, but he just couldn't confirm how strong the beast was?

"Should I go down and take a look?"

Jiang Han's heart was filled with hesitation. He was always thinking about the great calamity.

Now that seven years had passed, and this was the first time there was a change, it was very likely related to the great calamity.

But if it was just a beast, what danger could there be?

This place was so close to Ao Xi'er, Lei Zhen, and Pei Sui, that if he ignored it, and this beast suddenly launched a surprise attack, Lei Zhen and Ao Xi'er would easily have an accident.

"Could it be that I should tell Lei Zhen, Ao Xi'er, and Pei Sui to move?"

Jiang Han thought of a way to move all the cultivators. Spending a month would be enough to move a long distance.

However, they had been cultivating for seven years, and many cultivators were probably comprehending the divine rhythm in the nearby mountains.

When he went to Lei Zhen, Ao Xi'er, and Pei Sui's side just now, many cultivators were in deep seclusion. If he forcibly woke them up, would it affect their cultivation?

"Or should I go down and investigate?"

A thought appeared in Jiang Han's mind, but he immediately rejected it. Going down was too dangerous. Although he had the Black Blood Mountain, he still didn't dare to take the risk.

"Set up a formation, and then lie in wait nearby for a while!"

In the end, Jiang Han thought of a way. He would go out and set up a formation to seal off this cave.

Then he would control the Black Blood Mountain to cultivate nearby, and wait for the beast to come out to see what happens.

Thinking about it, he did it!

His body flashed and shot out, and then he took out the formation stones. He wasn't very strong in setting up formations, but he knew how to set up some ordinary formations.

The purpose of his formation wasn't to trap the beast, but to be able to detect it the moment the beast moved, and use the formation to delay it for a breath or two, giving him enough time to respond!

"Buzz ~"

However, just as he was setting up the formation, and the formation hadn't even taken shape, the sky suddenly fluctuated.

Then, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the temperature instantly dropped hundreds of times. At this moment, Jiang Han felt as if his whole body was frozen.

"Ice and snow magic!"

Jiang Han's eyes narrowed, and then, without any hesitation, his body flashed and entered the Black Blood Mountain next to him.
