Just ten minutes after stepping into the teleportation formation on White Cloud Planet, Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le walked out of a hidden cave abode deep in the Meng Mountains . This cave abode was one of the secret bases that Wu Qi had prepared for himself many years ago, which served as his hideout if things turned bad and he was forced to flee .
The cave abode had an array that could conceal the aura . Although his cultivation base was not as strong as now when he constructed it, it was powerful enough to conceal the aura of those in the cave . Meng Mountains covered a massive area that ordinary Heaven Immortals could not even use their divine sense to search every inch of . So, the little cave abode was left intact, without any damage .
As soon as Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le came out of the cave abode, their expressions turned very strange . Ao Buzun had climbed out of Wu Qi's sleeve and stood transfixed on his shoulder, shocked . Even Little Que'er, who had been perching on the princess' shoulder for days while digesting the immortal stone Wu Qi had given her, raised her head in a daze and kept chirping restlessly .
Wu Qi had once read an ancient poem, 'Birds vanish from the surrounding hills, footprints fade from the winding trails,' which described the scene of birds and people disappearing from sight after a heavy snowfall . However, even though birds were not seen flying on the barren hills after a heavy snowfall, at least they could be heard calling .
But now, Meng Mountains was dead silent; not a bird was flying in the blue sky, not a fish was swimming in the green lake, and not even an insect was singing in the grass under the trees . All the flowers and trees were there, but not a single animal could be seen .
Wu Qi, Princess Zhang Le, Ao Buzun, and Little Que'er released their divine senses at the same time, covering the entire Meng Mountains in an instant . What they saw made their faces pale . No man, bird, beast, or fish was found . Meng Mountains were once the paradise for demons, but at the moment, not even a demon could be seen in any of the valleys . The cave abodes of the several demon kings who once lived here had been burned to the ground, and several mountain peaks had been brought down by someone with great magic .
Several years ago, Yan Dan had already left Myriad Immortals Planet with his subordinates and clan members, while the five demon kings of Great Yan had also led most of their subordinates away . But, they did not want to let the cave abodes that they had been living in for thousands of years be abandoned . So, many demons were left behind to guard them . But now, not only had the cave abodes been destroyed, but it seemed all their subordinates had been killed as well .
Wu Qi searched the Longyuan River carefully with his divine sense, from its source to its estuary . But, apart from countless plants in the water, there were no living beings that could be found in the clean river, not even a shrimp . The mighty aquatic clan of Longyuan River had completely disappeared, and even the Spirit Tapeworms that once impressed Wu Qi and made his scalp go numb had vanished without a trace .
All the living beings in Meng Mountains, which stretched for millions of miles, were gone .
Actually, not all the living beings were gone, as those flowers and trees were also living beings . But, all the animals were gone . Wu Qi sent his divine sense three hundred miles into the ground and found that there was no sign of any animals even in the deepest caves . Creatures such as fishes and shrimps that lived in subterranean rivers, and even earthworms that lived in the soil, were all gone .
"What . . . What's going on?" Wu Qi looked at Princess Zhang Le in horror .
Princess Zhang Le's face turned very unsightly . Suddenly she closed her eyes and walked to a giant tree with its trunk so massive that it required at least a hundred men to encompass it with their outreached arms, pressing her palms against it . A faint greenish gleam poured from her palms into the trunk . The great ancient tree shook its branches, and its leaves rustled as if it were talking with countless little mouths .
Wu Qi watched Princess Zhang Le do her thing with fascination . She had taught him this technique, but he could never learn it . Although he could barely communicate with stray spirits and ghosts, he could not learn how to communicate with the flowers and trees . The princess, on the other hand, could use the technique like it was her innate ability, without any practice at all .
"Fire . . . A monstrous fire . . . A giant flying sword streaked across the void . . . slaughtering, slaughtering, slaughtering… The Longyuan River turns red . . . Those powerful demons were beheaded, their blood was collected in jade jars, souls were taken . . . The weak creatures were taken captive, swept away by a gust of wild wind and carried out of the mountains . . . "
An aura that made Wu Qi uneasy emanated from all over Meng Mountains .
In addition to this giant ancient tree, all the flowers and trees in Meng Mountains were awakened . Although they could not move or speak, they had a bit of sentience, and they had sensed some terrible things happening in the mountains . They sent out what they had perceived through their aura, which was transmitted to Princess Zhang Le through the mysterious connections between the plants .
Streams of gray aura came from all directions and kept injecting into the body of the ancient tree . It made a mournful whine, its trunk and branches gradually becoming withered, and its leaves quickly turning yellow . Even the weeds growing near its root were affected by the aura, quickly withering and falling .
