“Why are they going there?” Lan Xiao knitted his brows. “Haven’t they already stopped these few years? Why did they come out again?”

The God-Killing Tumulus was extremely dangerous. Normally, people wouldn’t go there for no reason.

Even those who wanted to train or find treasures would not pick the God-Killing Tumulus. Other than millions of corpses, the place had nothing else.

Besides, the God-Killing Tumulus was wide. Once one went in, it would be hard to come out again.

How bored must the people from Black Demon Hole be to go there?

Dugu Mobao’s brows moved slightly. “Can you check and see how many people have gone there?”

Diwu Zhangze closed his eyes. A strange totem faintly appeared on his brows.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and shook his head. “They hid their auras very well. I can only temporarily deduce that Black Demon Hole’s people went to the God-Killing Tumulus. However, I can’t guess anything else. If I were in the God Residence Realm, I might be able to ‘see’ better.”

It was a pity that he had been trapped here for more than 10,000 years and couldn’t form his Holy Body, so he naturally had no way of going there.

“They won’t have any good intentions.” As Lan Xiao spoke, he suddenly laughed. “However, it has been so many years, yet you can instantly detect their aura. How amazing!”

Diwu Zhangze lightly snorted. “No matter what, they had to kneel down and greet me when they saw me back then. Although I’ve already stopped interacting with them now… it’s not a loss if I know them and myself well.”

Dugu Mobao was quiet for a moment before saying, “This matter is pending, so let’s not do anything about it first and see what they plan to do.”

Diwu Zhangze nodded in approval.

“During this period of time, you and Lan Xiao should heal your injuries. You can leave everything else to me for now.”

…

Seven days passed by in a flash.

Chu Liuyue and the rest got increasingly closer to the God-Killing Tumulus.

Around evening, they came to a thick forest. The weird thing was that the trees in the forest all had black trunks with minimal red leaves.

The leaves were palm-sized, and they were super thin with toothed edges. At first glance, they seemed like red flying daggers.

Shangguan Jing looked forward solemnly and boomed, “This is the Red Soul Woods. Through this place, it will be the God-Killing Tumulus.”

Hearing his stern tone, Chu Liuyue’s heart turned harsh slightly.?This place… We have to be careful here.?

She looked forward.

As the sky gradually darkened, the trees in Red Soul Woods seemed like bloody hands that waved with the wind.

A faint smell permeated from the middle.

Chu Liuyue couldn’t help frowning.?It’s poisonous!?

“From evening to midnight, there will be poisonous gas exuding from here. Therefore, the best time to pass through this place is noon. Let’s find a place to rest and start on our trip tomorrow,” explained Shangguan Jing.

Chu Liuyue nodded and met Rong Xiu’s gaze. Then, they moved some distance back with Shangguan Jing.

Outside the Red Soul Woods, there were many rocks. They chose a flatter area and sat down with a few rocks surrounding them.

After Chu Liuyue sat down cross-legged, she quickly closed her eyes and continued cultivating.

After these few days of training, she wouldn’t be as exhausted as the first day, even if she journeyed the entire day. Hence, other than recovering her physical strength, she spent most of her time studying Xuan formations and medicinal formulas.

For Xuan formations, she had already borrowed Big Baby’s strength and personally tried to repair the Heaven-Locking Formation. Now, she could basically merge and understand the Xuan formations she learned from him.

In the past, those Xuan formations were extremely difficult for her. Even if she memorized them, she might not be able to understand them completely. It was even harder to unleash them.

But after repairing the Heaven-Locking Formation, she found it much easier to look at them now.

Other than this, she had repeatedly studied the Physician Medicinal Guide that Elder Wan Zheng had left behind for her. Additionally, she recalled those medicinal formulas and had a lot to understand.

When Chu Liuyue was completely immersed in her own cultivation, Rong Xiu took out a new Ink-Gold Spiritual Stone and started smoothening it.

In actual fact, this was the eighth Ink-Gold Spiritual Stone Rong Xiu had taken out. Every day, he would smoothen a piece; he started at night and ended in the morning.

He could always perfectly smoothen that Ink-Gold Spiritual Stone during this period of time.

'

In the beginning, Shangguan Jing would still be secretly astonished, but he gradually got used to it.

During these few days, he understood two things.

Firstly, Rong Xiu was very wealthy.

Secondly, Rong Xiu’s talent and skills in Armory Refinement had long exceeded his previous expectations.

After being conflicted for a period of time, Shangguan Jing thought it through.?Indeed, only such a man is worthy of our Yue’er!?

After watching for a while, Shangguan Jing suddenly thought of something and asked, “Rong Xiu, we’re going to go through the Red Soul Woods tomorrow. Is your armor… not going to come in time?”

Rong Xiu paused in his actions and looked over.

Shangguan Jing hurriedly said, “Don’t misunderstand; I’m not urging you. I know that you’re already very efficient, but you haven’t been resting these few days. I’m worried that you’ll exhaust too much of your mental strength… The Red Soul Woods and the God-Killing Tumulus are very dangerous places. You have to energize yourself to handle it. If not, why don’t we just rest for today?”

He had come to this place before and knew how hard it was to handle it. He was really worried that it would be more dangerous for Rong Xiu to enter in his current state.

The corner of Rong Xiu’s lips curled up. He smiled and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Shangguan. I’m doing fine. Besides, this armor is going to be done real soon. I’ll just finish it.”

“You’re going to complete it?” Shangguan Jing was shocked.

Rong Xiu nodded. “When this piece is smoothened, it’s basically complete.”

Shangguan Jing was dazed for a while.?Rong Xiu previously said that he wanted to craft a set of armor stronger than the pure gold armor. Then, it had to be a royal Yuan instrument at the very least, right? However, why does it sound so easy for Rong Xiu??

“It’ll be a little late. I might have to trouble you to take care of Yue’er first.” Rong Xiu lifted his chin. “I’ll go to that side and finish the final part.”

Triggering the lightning would definitely cause a huge commotion.

He did not want to disturb her.

Shangguan Jing nodded hesitantly.

Rong Xiu really looked too calm, such that he couldn’t even state his worries.

This man always seemed calm and collected. No matter what situation he was in, he could handle it easily.

After about four hours, the moon hung in the middle of the sky.

Rong Xiu picked up his smoothened Ink-Gold Spiritual Stone and stood up.

He was about to walk forward when he heard a young woman’s voice. “This is the Red Soul Woods? It seems… like nothing much!”
