Fengmotan is very famous in Xihuzhou because, according to legend, an ancient evil spirit is sealed here. That is why it is called Fengmotan and Fengmoling.
However, this rumor has not been confirmed, and some people even now believe that it is just a false rumor.
One thing is undeniable, there are many powerful species in Fengmo Ridge, Wutan has a deep understanding of this. He has just entered the central part of Fengmo Ridge, and he has encountered more than a dozen beast kings in the Divine Transformation Period, not to mention the ferocious beasts in the Hundred Dynasties Period.
This is still what Guiguzi called the "safe route". If he hadn't led the way, Wu Tian would have rushed forward recklessly and might have encountered many terrifying creatures.
As he went deeper, Wutan began to feel that something was wrong. It was true that he did not encounter any particularly strong beasts, but he also did not encounter any humans. This was obviously very unreasonable.
Normally, if this was a safe route, there would be many people looking for treasure or hunting animals. However, along the way, apart from the towering mountains, ancient trees, and animals, there was no one!
It is normal to say that there is no one in the deep and middle parts, after all, there are many ferocious beasts in the divine transformation period. But in the outer areas, not even a ghost was seen, which seems a bit too weird.
"Don't be nervous. Only I and Gu Tian know this safe route."
Guiguzi explained that decades ago, two brothers with great skills and courage attempted to cross the Demon Sealing Ridge. After going through a series of life and death ordeals, they finally found a safe shortcut.
Wutan nodded, but didn't believe it, and even began to be on guard.
There were many ferocious beasts blocking the way along the way, but they were basically beast kings in their early stages of maturity and could not be Wutan's opponents at all. The timid ones were simply scared away by his breath, while the bold ones would pounce on him, but they were all quickly dealt with by Wutan.
Before they knew it, Wutan and the other man arrived in front of a pond. The pond was about ten feet in diameter and was shrouded in mist, making it a little hazy. However, they could still vaguely see that the water in the pond was as black as ink and there was not a ripple at all, just like a pool of stagnant water.
When he got here, Wutan suddenly felt something strange, because within the ten-mile radius around the Demon Sealing Pond, he didn't see any ferocious beasts. Especially this pool of black water, it made him feel palpitating!
"This is the Demon Sealing Pond."
Guiguzi looked at the pool of water in front of him, his eyes flashed with light, and he looked at Wu Tian and warned: "The water in the pool has a very strong corrosive power. I once saw a beast king in the God Transformation period fall into it, and it turned into ashes in less than two breaths. So, you must not touch it."
“So scary?” Wu Tian was surprised. Even the Beast King in the Divine Transformation Stage could be corroded in a short period of time. This was too unbelievable!
"Hehehe! If you don't believe me, you can try it." Guiguzi said with a sinister smile.
To be honest, he was quite curious. Wutan walked forward slowly and squatted on the shore of Fengmo Pond. However, he did not really touch the black water. He just looked at it in amazement. Gradually, he actually smelled a faint fragrance in the air.
"Hey! What's going on? Not good!"
Wu Tian twitched his nose, and at that moment, his expression suddenly changed, and his body staggered. If he had not supported himself on the ground with his arms in time, he would have fallen directly into the Demon Sealing Pond.
“Boom!”
A forbidden talisman slipped from his arms and fell into the pond with a crisp sound. Just as Guiguzi said, the pond water had extremely strong corrosive power, and the extremely hard forbidden talisman was reduced to ashes in an instant!
However, at this moment, Wu Tian was in no mood to watch. He supported himself on the ground with his hands, his face showing pain, his body was trembling, and beads of sweat the size of beans were overflowing from his forehead, as if he was enduring torture that was unbearable for a human being!
All of Wutan’s strange feelings were due to the faint fragrance from the Demon Sealing Pond. When he pursed his nose before, a wisp of the faint fragrance rushed into his nostrils and went straight to his sea of consciousness, and entwined around his soul, as if to corrode it!
An indescribable pain violently attacked every nerve in his body. Wutan was extremely shocked. What kind of monster was this black water? Just a wisp of fragrance made him feel almost helpless and powerless!
"Wutian, are you okay?"
Guiguzi saw this and immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and was about to help him, but Wu Tian suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped him, saying, "No, I can do it myself!"
Glancing at Guiguzi with his peripheral vision, Wutan pressed his hands hard on the ground and his body retreated a dozen feet. He then sat down on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, and began to mobilize his soul power, frantically refining the faint fragrance. After a struggle, he was finally about to suppress the faint fragrance, but at this moment, something strange happened.
Guiguzi, who had been silently watching Wutan from the side, suddenly had a cruel look on his face. He stretched out his vertical arm suddenly, and a five-inch long dagger appeared in his big hand. With a flickering light, he held the dagger and stabbed fiercely at Wutan's head!
Although Wutan did not open his eyes, the piercing sound of breaking air and the strong murderous intent had already alarmed him. His heart suddenly sank. It turned out that Guiguzi really wanted to harm him!
If it were any other day, Wutan would not be afraid and could kill her with a wave of his hand. However, at this moment, he was at a critical moment. If he was distracted for a moment, all his previous efforts would be wasted. Moreover, he had a premonition that if Youxiang gained freedom, it would be difficult to suppress her again!
However, Wutan is not a man who will sit and wait for death. The god's right hand revived and he punched upwards fiercely. With a clanging sound, Guiguzi's arm trembled and the dagger in his hand broke into several pieces!
"puff!"
The dagger fragments broke into several pieces and flew in all directions. One of the pieces just happened to pass through Wutan's face, cutting a gash. With a stream of blood, it shot into the Demon Sealing Pond. As a puff of green smoke rose, it immediately turned into nothingness!
The force of Wu Tian's full-strength punch was so strong that even though Guiguzi was not attacked head-on, the remaining force was more than he could withstand. His right hand holding the dagger was torn apart on the spot, blood splattered, and his body was shaken back repeatedly until he hit an ancient tree a thousand feet away. Only then did he stabilize his body, his face turned pale, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood!
At this moment, Wu Tian suddenly opened his eyes, looked away coldly, and said lightly: "You are really good at hiding. If it were someone else today, they would definitely die under your dagger, but you are very unfortunate that you chose me."
"You discovered it a long time ago." Guiguzi said in a deep voice.
"what you think!"
Wutan asked back, secretly urging his soul power to quickly refine the faint fragrance in his sea of consciousness. However, he was surprised that this faint fragrance, which was not even as thick as a hair, was like divine iron and he could not completely refine it in a short time!
Guiguzi's face was gloomy. He thought he acted very well and didn't reveal any clues. But Wu Tian actually saw through it in advance. This made him a little puzzled. He couldn't help but wonder, "How did you know?"
Wu Tian said calmly: "Your acting is indeed good. At the beginning, even I believed you. But after you said a word, I began to suspect that you had ulterior motives."
"What?"
"You told me that the so-called safe passage was discovered by you and Gu Tian decades ago, but have you ever thought about what your cultivation level was decades ago? In my opinion, you were at most at the Hundred Dynasties period. The Demon Sealing Ridge is densely populated with ferocious beasts, all of which are extremely powerful. May I ask, what strength do you have to cross the Demon Sealing Ridge?" Wutan said sarcastically.
Guiguzi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. You can associate so many things with just one sentence that I said unintentionally. You are worthy of being a person who defies the heavens rarely seen in a million years. But I am very confused. Since you have already discovered it, why don't you kill me immediately? Instead, you followed me to the Sealed Demon Pond?"
Wu Tian said calmly: "It's very simple, I want to see what tricks you are going to play."
"Hehe!" Guiguzi suddenly laughed grimly and said sarcastically, "Haven't you heard that curiosity can kill people?"
"I die? Maybe not!" Wutan sneered.
Guiguzi shook his head and looked at Wu Tian with a mocking look: "You really won't cry until you see the coffin. To tell you the truth, the faint fragrance you inhaled into your body is a kind of magic mist called Soul-stealing Mist. This magic mist specifically attacks the human soul. If you don't have the cultivation base of the Great Accomplishment Period, it can't be erased at all, so don't waste your efforts!"
"That's better, otherwise you won't be able to leave alive today!" Wutan smiled coldly.
The soul-stealing fog is indeed very powerful. If it were an ordinary person, his soul would have been shattered long ago. But don't forget that Wujitian's soul has reached the king level, and after all these years of practice, there are signs that he is about to break through to the emperor level.
As long as he is given enough time, it will not be a problem to refine the Soul Stealing Mist. Therefore, his main goal now is to delay time. With his eyes narrowed slightly, Wu Tian said: "I want to know why you do this."
"Hehehe! Why? It's because of the treasure on you that can capture the spiritual veins." Guiguzi grinned, his eyes filled with greed.
“Do you know how excited I was when I learned in the ruins that you had such a rare treasure? So in order to get it, I started to show my goodwill and even frankly said that I wanted to cooperate with you to gain your trust. But you are too cautious and I didn’t have any chance to take advantage of you.
It was not until fifty years ago when Master asked me to come to you to discuss cooperation that I knew my chance had come, so I planned carefully. However, I never expected that you would be so stupid as to let me help you call Gu Tian out.
Although your request disrupted my plan, it also gave me another more perfect plan. What I couldn't imagine was that you discovered my conspiracy and dared to follow me. Tell me, you are looking for death, haha!"
Gu Guizi laughed wildly, his eyes showing mockery, sarcasm and sadness. He looked at Wutan as if he was a dead man, because in his opinion, Wutan simply did not have the strength to refine the Soul-Snatching Mist, and death was only a matter of time.
As long as Wutan dies, the rare treasure he has coveted for a long time will truly belong to him.
Especially when he thought of the various divine powers of the rare treasures, as well as the several elemental spirit veins and forbidden stone mineral sources, Guiguzi's heart became extremely hot and excited, and his body could not help but tremble violently!
