Chapter 5525
The wind and sand howled like angry beasts, and the wasteland was vast and boundless, as if there was no end.
After Kai and Hu Mazi left Dongxiang County, they marched unwaveringly towards the northwest direction mentioned by the princess.
“Kai, do you think what the princess said is true? Is the Sixth Palace really in the mountains northwest of the wasteland?”
Hu Mazi was a little unsure, frowned slightly, and asked with some doubt.
Kai nodded slightly, his expression calm and determined, and said, “It should be true. He was already trapped in a jar at that time and didn’t dare to lie.
And judging by his panicked and deliberately concealed reaction, he is indeed just a puppet being manipulated, and the real secrets lie with the Sixth Prince.”
When Hu Mazi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He chuckled and rubbed his hands, “That’s great! When we find the Sixth Palace, we must teach those guys a lesson.”
They actually dared to collect the souls of monks for cultivation. They are simply insane and inhumane. I will never be able to relieve my hatred unless I tear them into pieces!”
Kai glanced at him indifferently, his eyes seemed to see through everything, and seemed to carry an innate arrogance.
Then he slowly said, “Don’t worry, their good days are over. In front of me, Kai, any evil demon is nothing but a chicken and a dog, vulnerable to a single blow.”
The two headed westward, and the further northwest they went, the more desolate the surrounding environment became.
At first, you could still see some sparse vegetation and small animals struggling to survive in the wilderness, but later, even these signs of life disappeared completely, leaving only a sky full of yellow sand rolling like a surging tide, and the howling wind was like a sharp blade, cutting people’s faces painfully.
“Is there really anyone living in this damn place? It doesn’t even feel like a place where people can survive.”
Hu Mazi couldn’t help complaining, shielding his eyes from the wind and sand with his hands.
At this moment, Kai suddenly stopped. Standing tall like a pine tree, his gaze sharp as a torch, he pointed ahead and said, “Look, there’s a mountain over there!”
Hu Mazi looked in the direction of Kai’s finger, and saw a huge mountain rising from the ground and reaching into the sky on the distant horizon.
The mountain was pitch black, like a sleeping giant beast, emitting a gloomy and terrifying aura that made people shudder, as if as long as they got close, they would be swallowed by the evil power.
“Is that the mountain where the Sixth Palace is located? It looks so strange. I feel like it contains countless unspeakable secrets and dangers.”
Hu Mazi swallowed and a trace of fear rose in his heart.
Kai nodded, his expression stern, like an unshakable iceberg, and said, “It should be there. Look at the aura around the mountain, it is full of evil energy, obviously because it has collected a large number of souls.
This kind of evil place will inevitably breed extremely vicious people, but in front of me, they are destined to pay a heavy price.”
The two quickened their pace and headed towards the mountain.
The closer you get to the mountain, the thicker the evil aura around you becomes, as if it has materialized. Even the air becomes icy cold, making it difficult to breathe.
“This place is truly eerie. I feel like my cultivation has been suppressed, as if being restrained by an invisible giant hand. I feel weak all over.”
Hu Mazi frowned, a look of pain on his face.
Kai smiled calmly, that smile carrying a kind of contempt for all evil, and said: “This is normal. The Sixth Palace has collected so many souls and created a soul gathering array here.
An ordinary person coming here would probably not even be able to stand steadily and would be directly swallowed by this sinister aura. However, in front of me, any formation, any evil force is nothing but child’s play.”
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
