The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 473 Strange Human Face Flower

The two reached a consensus and then took out a map to look at it.

Song Wanning's gaze swept across every location on the map, finally settling on the edge of the barrier.

"Right now, all we can do is wander around the border for a while and then look for an opportunity."

After all, there are no markings on this map indicating where the barrier can be opened, so we can only rely on luck to find it first.

"Okay, let's go!"

Baili Shang took out his flying magic weapon and flew away with Song Wanning in a cloud of dust.

Over the next period of time, the two flew around the outermost edge of the region, and many rumors about Song Wanning began to circulate throughout the central region. Most of them described her as terrifying, not only for her evil methods, but also for her ghostly face and fangs, which could frighten children into crying!

As for the Huo family, they are pursuing Huo Jinchuan with all their might. After all, those treasures are much more important than Song Wanning. Once the treasures are really lost, Huo Yang's position as patriarch will be over.

Huo Jinchuan suffered terribly as a result, his mental state was broken, and his Dao heart was unstable and cracks appeared.

He is now solely focused on absorbing Song Wanning's luck, believing that only in this way can he perhaps change everything with his extraordinary luck.

But the Huo family's pursuit gave him no chance to catch his breath, let alone lure Song Wanning into the array that absorbs fortune—it was simply a pipe dream.

Forget it, let's save our lives first.

As long as you're alive, there's always a chance.

……

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. The vast Central Region had an extremely long border. Even traveling day and night on a flying magical artifact, Song Wanning and her companion had only covered half the distance.

Occasionally, they would encounter other dangers and cultivators on the road, which would delay them further.

One day, Song Wanning and Baili Shang encountered a very peculiar flower that had never been recorded in any ancient books.

But the flower exuded a strange aura, which piqued their interest.

Baili Shang descended his flying magical artifact, and the two carefully approached the flower to examine it closely.

This flower is entirely white.

But at the stamen of the flower, something resembling a human face had grown.

Even his dark eyes gleamed with an eerie light, making him look incredibly unsettling.

"What is this?"

Song Wanning frowned, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.

Bai Li Shang also looked serious and carefully took out a stick to poke the flower stamen.

Hua Rui's eyes blinked suddenly, making her look even more eerie.

The two exchanged a strange glance. This flower was truly bizarre; its stamens seemed to have trapped a real person within it…

If that's the case, then...

Their divine senses quickly spread outwards, and they discovered that there were quite a few of these flowers nearby.

However, only this one flower has an abnormality at the stamen.

“I remember there were quite a few of these flowers along the border, just in different colors… We didn’t notice anything unusual before, but now that we look at it together, it seems like a coincidence.”

The border lines all have similar flowers; could they be related?

Could the barrier be related to these flowers again?
But what's the deal with these strange flower stamens?

Too many questions arose in their minds at the same time, but their intuition told them that this flower was definitely not normal and might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Bai Li Shang, do you know any way to absorb a person's luck?" Song Wan Ning had no choice but to connect Huo Jin Chuan with these anomalies. She had always known Huo Jin Chuan's thoughts, but she really didn't know the specific methods.

"Plundering destiny?"

Baili Shang's expression suddenly darkened, as if he had also thought of the relevant records.

"The most reliable way to plunder someone's luck is to set up an array to trap someone with extremely strong luck inside. First, you must conceal the secrets of heaven, and then slowly drain that person's luck. Only in this way can you avoid backfiring on yourself."

"In ancient times, there was a sect that used this kind of evil method to plunder the fortune of many people, but in the end the entire sect suffered a backlash and disappeared completely."

"Does anyone still possess such an evil method?"

His heart sank as he thought of himself and Song Wanning. Both of them should have good luck. Could it be that someone was eyeing them?

Song Wanning received a questioning look and nodded with a serious expression.

"Huo Jinchuan brought us in for a different reason than Huo Yang. His real purpose was never to revive his mother, but to absorb our luck."

"what?"

Baili Shang was taken aback, and then his face darkened.

Huo Jinchuan is incredibly audacious to use such an evil method. Has he gone mad with the desire to ascend to immortality?
But he quickly calmed down and had no doubt about Song Wanning's words.

They immediately began exploring the surrounding environment, trying to find traces of the surrounding formations.

Song Wanning didn't disturb him. This flower was truly strange, and she had to be extremely careful.

But after a long time, Baili Shang returned with a furrowed brow.

"I can confirm that there is not a trace of any formation within a thousand miles of this place."

"Is that so? Then it seems this isn't Huo Jinchuan's base."

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning nodded, ruled out that possibility, and continued to study the flowers in front of her.

After half a day of trying to figure out what was wrong, the two decided to stay and observe for a while longer.

So they found a place to stay in the nearest big tree, and their divine sense enveloped every little flower around them the whole time.

As night fell and the moonlight came on, the eerie scene finally unfolded.

White gas began to emerge from the flowers, followed by grotesque faces struggling to emerge from their stamens.

They absorbed the moonlight with fervor, and a look of enjoyment appeared on their faces.

What's even more terrifying is that all of these people have the exact same face...

The bizarre scene before her sent chills down Song Wanning's spine.

What kind of monster is this?

What kind of heretical cultivation method is this?
Bai Li Shang felt a chill run down his spine. The identical faces, each with a different expression, looked incredibly eerie in the night.

"Is this some kind of soul cultivation technique?"

He transmitted his voice to Song Wanning, saying that if it weren't for the soul cultivation method, these flowers should contain different human faces. After all, evil cultivators mostly rely on absorbing the cultivation and essence of different cultivators, rather than seizing one person like this.

Song Wanning also felt that this explanation made sense, and the two of them couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had taken concealment measures, otherwise they would probably have been discovered by the spirit by now.

The person who can disperse their soul here and nurture it must have extraordinary soul power and a high level of cultivation.

They just hadn't figured out what the other party's purpose was.

If it were simply about increasing soul power, there's no way such a wicked method would be used; this person must have other motives!

So the two of them could only carefully hide in the tree and watch as these spirits were gradually absorbed until the moon disappeared.
