Chapter 182 Immortal Hope

The towering blood mist, like a vast ocean, spread uncontrollably from the Immortal Tomb, with red fur flying everywhere and constant howling, creating an extremely eerie scene.

Qi Zhe was also unsure what was in the blood mist, so he didn't dare to approach it. He only stopped after escaping for 20,000 miles.

At this point, the blood mist spread outwards for fourteen or fifteen thousand miles before gradually stopping. If this area hadn't been devoid of life, it would have been a catastrophe.

"It's stopped," Qi Zhe said, looking back at Xianling with a puzzled expression.

This blood mist, of unknown origin, terrified the group of people from the Source Arts families, who dared not touch it.

Qi Zhe was naturally very curious. He knew that the young masters of the Origin Arts family might know something, and their actions might not be unrelated to this.

"Let's see if we can find out anything." With that thought, Qi Zhe tossed the group of people out, ready to ask them the reason behind it all.

Then, the people who had been flung away by Qi Zhe looked bewildered, as if they were still immersed in the crisis they had just experienced, and were unable to come to their senses for a long time.

"boom"

They all fell to the ground, letting out cries of pain with each thud, their expressions becoming quite interesting.

However, some people quickly recovered and saw a tall man dressed in stone get up from the ground and notice Qi Zhe standing in mid-air.

Then the man spoke up: "Today we have encountered a great calamity, but fortunately we were helped by you, senior. My Ouyang family will surely repay you handsomely!"

At this moment, everyone gradually came to their senses, and someone quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, senior. Our Tuoba family will never forget such a great kindness!"

This group of people came from three great families specializing in Source Arts, and were all accomplished Source Arts masters. At this moment, they all spoke up to express their gratitude to Qi Zhe.

However, Qi Zhe, dressed in a Taoist robe and disguised as a middle-aged Taoist, had a solemn expression, and Shou Xin beside him also had a tense little face, leaving everyone puzzled.

After a moment, Qi Zhe shook his head and said, "It was just a casual thing, nothing to mention. But with the blood mist spreading everywhere, if something goes wrong, there will probably be countless deaths and injuries!"

Qi Zhe's face was full of compassion, as if he were worried about a great disaster, which surprised the group of disciples from the Source Arts families. Some of them couldn't help but have their eyes flicker.

"Hmm? There's something wrong!" Qi Zhe noticed the other party while scanning him and knew that there must be something wrong.

"I just saw you crawling out of the cave wearing stone clothes, and I said that this incident was extraordinary. Do you know anything about it?" Qi Zhe asked.

He was eager to find out what these people had been doing, since he had never heard of any mineral veins near the Immortal Tomb, and it was very strange that these people were here.

Upon hearing Qi Zhe's words, the expressions of the group of Source Masters all changed. Some stared at Qi Zhe, looking him up and down, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

Upon seeing this, Qi Zhe's expression changed drastically, and his face became serious. He said in a low voice, "Do you perhaps have something to hide from me?!"

Qi Zhe's face exuded an imposing aura, and his Taoist robe fluttered without wind, radiating a power that startled everyone. Some people felt a sudden jolt in their hearts upon seeing this.

At this moment, the tall man who had spoken first bowed repeatedly and said, "Senior, you misunderstand. We are merely searching for the source."

As he spoke, he looked around, as if observing the reactions of those around him.

"Yes, yes, we really are searching for the source. We were just a hair's breadth away from finding the entire source vein!"

"We were fortunate to be saved by you, senior, how could we dare to deceive you?"

The group of people spoke with utmost sincerity, and their expressions seemed genuine, but Qi Zhe's face grew increasingly grim.

He knew very well that none of these people were telling the truth; their spiritual fluctuations revealed almost entirely lies, which could not be hidden from him at all.

Seeing this, Qi Zhe's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer, "So that's how it is. It seems I was overthinking it." Qi Zhe's words carried a profound meaning, making the hairs on the heads of the group stand on end, and they could all feel the coldness in Qi Zhe's words.

Qi Zhe casually flipped his hand and drew a sharp sword, saying, "It seems you are the culprits behind this. Today, I must act on behalf of Heaven!"

"laugh!!!"

Sword energy instantly intertwined on the jet-black longsword, and killing intent surged like a waterfall. Qi Zhe only needed to slightly activate it to unleash divine light that shot into the sky.

This sword is none other than the Yao Guang Sword of the old cultivator, a genuine kingly divine weapon, capable of cleaving through the void with a mere swipe.

"Senior, calm down!"

Upon seeing Qi Zhe reveal his murderous intent and methods, the disciples of the Origin Arts families were filled with fear and hurriedly shouted.

If Qi Zhe's sword were to strike, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to kill everyone present. Seeing this, they all gave in.

Someone said with a sob in their voice, "Senior, you've misunderstood! We truly didn't mean to deceive you, it's just that this matter is of utmost importance!"

Then someone continued, "The blood mist emanating from the Immortal Tomb has absolutely nothing to do with us; it's been like this for half a month already!"

"We came here only to find a divine city that has fallen beneath the earth; otherwise, we would never have taken such a risk outside the Immortal Tomb!"

The group of people were intimidated by Qi Zhe, and at this point they blurted out everything they knew, regardless of whether Qi Zhe actually accepted it.

They claimed that not long ago, 30,000 miles outside the Immortal Mausoleum, the Tuoba family unearthed an ancient ruin containing all the records of a dark upheaval.

That was a long time ago, and no one knows exactly how many tens of thousands of years ago it was, but it was at least two or three hundred thousand years ago.

At that time, the area around the Immortal Mausoleum was not a wilderness. Ten thousand miles outside the Immortal Mausoleum were vast and magnificent plains and deep forests, where great sects were as numerous as forests and powerful figures were as plentiful as rain.

There once stood an ancient city thousands of miles away from the Immortal Mausoleum, which had always been a bridgehead for suppressing turmoil, and was home to powerful experts with extraordinary cultivation.

But with the outbreak of turmoil, an extraordinary figure emerged from the Immortal Tomb, easily destroying the ancient city and burying it underground.

What followed was a great war. In that era, some people prevented the turmoil from happening, but in doing so, millions of miles of land were turned into scorched earth.

"According to records, that ancient city was left behind by a demon emperor. It is said that he retrieved it from the boundless void, and its original name is said to be the Immortal Abode of Immortality."

"Moreover, the ruins say that the Immortal Abode of Immortality has stood since ancient times, and the hope for immortality within it once caused turmoil in the primordial era."

These scions of families specializing in Source Arts know a great deal; they discovered many secrets within the ruins, otherwise they wouldn't have come here.

"The Immortal Abode of Immortality?!" Although Qi Zhe's expression remained calm, his heart was already churning with boundless emotions, and he remained silent for a long time.

This so-called Immortal Abode of Immortality might be the Immortal Abode of Immortality that Qi Zhe is looking for, but to Qi Zhe's surprise, it had already appeared in the world, and now it has disappeared without a trace.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Zhe suddenly asked, "Having said so much, is there anything you've overlooked?"

Qi Zhe was eager to know the whole story, so he continued to ask questions, already ready to explore their sea of ​​consciousness at any moment.

"I think I haven't missed anything," someone said, constantly recalling various records in their mind.

Without hesitation, Qi Zhe unleashed his divine sense to explore the consciousness of this group of people, determined to find out the truth.
