Chapter 471: Does the Bad Woman Want to Do Bad Things? p1
The Southern Wilderness was incredibly vast. Even within the Nine Provinces, its territory was second only to the Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm.
In reality, although the Southern Wilderness was somewhat desolate, this ‘desolation’ wasn’t because it was barren or anything.
Its ‘desolation’ was caused by the ‘black mist’.
In the earliest times, the Nine Provinces weren’t nine provinces, but only eight.
One day, a mysterious black mist slowly spread towards the south. Wherever the black mist passed, all things withered. Cultivators from the Eastern Continent, Demon Realm, and other places paled upon seeing the black mist, avoiding it at all costs. The area shrouded in black mist became a true forbidden land in people’s hearts.
Finally, the black mist stopped in a certain region in the south, no longer spreading.
Nine Provinces cultivators were wary of the black mist, so few outsiders set foot in this region, afraid of being swallowed by the black mist.
Until one day, a person was born from the ‘black mist’.
Legend had it that it was a woman, dressed in a black gauze dress, her skin pale, barefoot, with a delicate temperament.
And wherever she went, the black mist strangely receded.
Shortly after that, more and more beings were born from the black mist. These beings were born with countless eyes, their appearances ferocious and bizarre. In terms of physical strength alone, they were even stronger than demon beasts.
Later, these beings were called ‘Heretic Gods’ by the Nine Provinces cultivators.
Among them, four gods were born with strength far surpassing normal Southern Wilderness beings. They were at the Soul Transformation Realm from birth, not only able to move freely within the black mist, but even able to absorb part of the black mist for their own use. Not long after, they resonated with the Heavenly Dao, achieving supreme Dao Fruit.
And the Southern Wilderness cultivators believed that it was the grace of the ‘Black Mist Mistress’ that bathed this land.
To show gratitude to the Black Mist Mistress, the Southern Wilderness cultivators built a divine hall, worshipping the woman as a god and erecting a statue.
After that, the Southern Wilderness was divided into four powers, controlled by the Four Pillar Gods of Sky, Earth, Ocean, and Space.
Every few years, the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall would open a secret realm, and occasionally, one or two Southern Wilderness cultivators could comprehend the Southern Wilderness secret techniques left behind by the first ‘goddess’ from within the secret realm.
Those who comprehended the Southern Wilderness secret techniques could freely travel within the black mist of the Southern Wilderness without being swallowed.
Even though the Southern Wilderness was currently in chaos due to the loss of the Three Pillar Gods, it was still one of the most powerful regions.
Because they hadn’t lost all their gods. Not only did Xue Yi return to the Southern Wilderness a few days ago, but more importantly, rumors that the goddess was still alive and protecting the Southern Wilderness still circulated in the Southern Wilderness, and countless Southern Wilderness cultivators firmly believed this.
After all, ‘She’ was the god who created the entire Southern Wilderness. The black mist was a symbol of holiness in the Southern Wilderness. The Black Mist Mistress naturally couldn’t be easily erased by time.
A spatial rift opened silently, and Mu Zhian and Wei Mengrou quietly appeared in the depths of the Southern Wilderness.
This region was truly vast. Mu Zhian looked into the distance and could vaguely see the black mist.
In mid-air, an ancient divine hall floated quietly. On both sides of the hall were statues of a woman in a long black gauze dress. Formations silently strengthened the divine hall, making it faintly emit a sacred halo.
This was the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall, also the most sacred place in the hearts of Southern Wilderness cultivators. Within the entire Southern Wilderness, this divine hall was the most dazzling.
Before the high platform of the divine hall stood a man in black robes, looking extraordinary.
He was Huang Weifeng. After traveling thousands of miles to the Southern Wilderness with Xue Yi not long ago, he entered the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall with his master, successfully allowing her to be nourished within the hall. Thus, he was warmly welcomed by the elders of the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall and treated as a guest elder.
And not far behind Huang Weifeng stood a stunningly beautiful woman.
Her face was captivating, her figure graceful, exuding an ethereal aura.
Her smooth, pale golden hair cascaded down, her posture dignified. Her pair of watery beautiful eyes were as gentle as water, looking down from the high platform, like a compassionate god, holding a lofty and peerless beauty, her charm unparalleled.
The Fourth Pillar God of the Southern Wilderness, the Space God, Xue Yi!
Even the veil on her face was a special artifact, not only concealing her devastatingly beautiful face, but also completely restraining her aura. At first glance, one might think she was just an ordinary person.
Just as Mu Zhian and the others appeared in the Southern Wilderness, Xue Yi immediately sensed their arrival.
“Mu Zhian… he actually came to the Southern Wilderness,” Xue Yi murmured softly.
“What, Mu Zhian also came to the Southern Wilderness?!”
Hearing this, Huang Weifeng immediately looked down from the platform of the divine hall in mid-air.
“He’s really bold, knowing that the Southern Wilderness isn’t friendly towards him, towards the Eastern Continent, he actually dares to step into the Southern Wilderness so openly…” Huang Weifeng’s eyes flickered. He was somewhat excited about Mu Zhian’s arrival.
The Southern Wilderness wasn’t like the Eastern Continent. This was Xue Yi’s territory after all. He had been brooding over his defeat against Mu Zhian last time. Now, seeing such a good opportunity, he naturally felt a sense of fighting spirit, wanting to compete with Mu Zhian again.
However, the next moment, Xue Yi’s clear and pleasant voice was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the fire in Huang Weifeng’s heart.
“Mu Zhian has two Transcendence Realm experts backing him, as well as the Spirit Dragon and others supporting him. He’s well taken care of. Do you think even if he wanted to come alone, those other great powers would agree?”
These words made Huang Weifeng’s face turn somewhat unsightly: “You mean… Mu Zhian has great powers accompanying him? What exactly is he here for?”
Xue Yi smiled gently: “According to Regina’s words earlier, she has a close relationship with Mu Zhian. Perhaps… this time, he realized Regina was in trouble, so he specially came to rescue her.”
Huang Weifeng nodded silently, then hesitated, “If we follow Master’s reasoning just now, wouldn’t Mu Zhian have either the Jade Empress or the Sword Emperor with him? If they sense your presence…”
“This is the Southern Wilderness, not the Eastern Continent. Moreover, I’m not like those old monsters in the Southern Wilderness.”
Xue Yi’s tone was gentle and calm, but carried strong confidence.
She had obtained the measures she left behind in the Southern Wilderness Divine Hall this time, temporarily recovering some of her Spiritual Energy. With the strengthening of the formations in the divine hall, she could temporarily shield the rules of heaven and earth. Even if the Jade Empress was here, she could still fight.
The Sky God and the others didn’t know at all that there were special formations hidden within the divine hall left by the Black Mist Mistress, similar to the formations in the Two Polarities Sect, Demon Realm, and other places. Being within the divine hall, one wouldn’t be affected by the rules of heaven and earth.
And she was the only one who knew the secret of the divine hall.
“Besides, I don’t intend to become enemies with the Jade Empress and the others,” Xue Yi continued in her gentle voice.
“But Mu Zhian has a close relationship with Regina. If he knows Regina is being confined by you, he will probably try to rescue her, right…?” Huang Weifeng probed.
Hearing this, Xue Yi’s eyes gazed playfully into the distance: “It’s true that he has a close relationship with Regina, but as long as I also have a close relationship with him… who do you think he will help then?”
Huang Weifeng was stunned and hurriedly said, “Master, absolutely not! With your status, lowering yourself to please Mu Zhian, if word spreads, the cultivators in the Southern Wilderness won’t know what to say about you!”
