The Spirit Snake was very fast. Under the full activation of the Cloud Controlling Technique, its speed was much faster than the fog tsunami. In just a short moment, we had distanced ourselves from it and hid far away from it.
Just as I heaved a sigh of relief, the snake spirit anxiously told me that he was exhausted and couldn't run at full speed anymore.
Then, I remembered that the snake spirit had just broken through. During the process of breaking through, he had used up almost all of his energy to break the fireball. He had fainted because of his exhaustion. I was afraid that he had reached his limit by bringing us with him for such a long distance.
I turned to look behind me. The gray mist tsunami was still far away from us, so I couldn't see its imposing manner. However, I could still see that the gray mist was covering the sky and forming a horizon in the distance. If we didn't continue to run, we would have nowhere to run when the tsunami came.
What should I do?
I didn't have much time to think, so I had to make the last resort. I let the snake spirit and Tong Tong return to my body to recover their cultivation, while the fatty and I relied on our own power to run forward.
Without the Snake Spirit's cloud-controlling technique, the fatty and I slowed down a lot. The safe distance that the Snake Spirit had gained by rushing with all its might had been squandered by us in just a short while. There was a loud rumbling sound from afar. I turned to look and saw that the fog tsunami was not far behind us.
The fatty spoke first. He panted and said to me, "Third Baby, I can't use the Heaven Measuring Ruler now. If it catches up to us, I'm afraid we won't have time to activate it."
What he said made sense. Just as I was about to agree, a voice came from not far away.
"Mister Zhou, Mister Lin, please follow me!"
The fatty and I were shocked. We lifted our heads and saw Wu Yue standing not far from us.
She was still wearing her original clothes, which looked simple and elegant. Her long black hair was tied into a simple bun at the back of her head. She was waving at me anxiously.
When I saw her, I couldn't help but get angry.
She was the one who had sent the fatty and me to this ancient battlefield. She had put us in such a difficult situation.
And she was standing here unscathed.
At this moment, I was very suspicious of her. I didn't want to go to her, but then she said anxiously, "I'll bring you to a safe place."
The earth-shattering tsunami of gray fog had almost drowned the entire world. Where was there a safe place?
I didn't want to believe her, but there didn't seem to be any better choice.
After hesitating for a moment, I flew towards her.
When the two of us arrived, Wuyue didn't dare to stay any longer. He immediately turned around and brought the two of us in another direction.
She was obviously very familiar with this place. She led us through many twists and turns, and after a while, we came to a flat area.
After arriving here, her footsteps suddenly slowed down, as if she did not care about the gray fog tsunami behind her at all.
The fat guy and I didn't understand what she was doing. We reminded her that the tsunami was close. Wu Yue smiled and said calmly, "On this ancient battlefield, the Yin tide rises and dies every day. Every time the tide rises, it will cover the entire area. Those ghosts and spirits are all destroyed by the power of the Yin tide.
And when the Yin tide falls, they will be reborn and the cycle will repeat. "
With that, she raised her head and looked at the tsunami that was about to drown them. She lifted her foot and stepped on a pile of white bones. She continued, "Under this Yin Qi tide, there is only one place in the entire ancient battlefield that can hide, and that is here.
You two, take two steps forward and stand with me. "
The fat guy and I were so anxious that we were about to use the Sky-Measuring Ruler. We hurried to step on the pile of white bones.
It wasn't that I trusted Wuyue, but she was also standing here. If she lied to me, she would have to bear the impact of the gray fog tsunami.
Although she had the body of a ghost, the terrifying tsunami had swallowed many ghosts and spirits along the way. It wouldn't just target us.
As soon as we got there, the gray mist tsunami surged behind us. Perhaps it was because it had swallowed a lot of ghosts and spirits along the way, but now, the gray mist had turned as black as ink. It rolled and stormed toward us.
My face turned pale. Although I knew Wuyue wouldn't lie to us, I couldn't help but feel nervous as I stood there and watched the terrifying tsunami.
However, the tsunami didn't give me much time. Soon, it began to fall.
Right at this moment, the white bones under our feet suddenly moved. It was as if they were being urged by some force. The white bones floated up and released white smoke. In just a blink of an eye, they shrouded us.
I recognized that the white bones under our feet were all ox skulls. They were exactly the same as the Kui Ox Altar that we had come from.
Wuyue had also built a Kui Ox Altar in this ancient battlefield.
The massive tsunami covered the sky and covered the earth. However, when it met the white smoke that the Kui Ox Altar had released, it didn't smash the white smoke. Instead, it seemed to have met its natural enemy. It slid past the white smoke from both sides. It couldn't even get within ten meters of the white smoke.
Seeing this, I let out a sigh of relief. I was finally out of danger.
With lingering fear, the fatty and I stood in the middle of the Kui Ox Altar in silence. After the Yin Qi tide had passed, I turned my head and stared at Wuyue.
"When we were in the Saint Mother Temple, you said that you didn't have any hostility toward us. Why did you use the excuse of bringing us to see something to deceive us and bring us here?" I asked her coldly.
Wuyue was bewildered. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I didn't deceive you. I really wanted to bring you here to see something … However, I forgot to tell you about the Yin Qi tide. After we came in, I searched everywhere. Finally, I found you before the Yin Qi tide broke out.
It was my mistake. I'm really sorry. "
I frowned, but my face didn't change for the better. I continued to question her. "Forget about the Yin Qi tide, but what about those ghosts?
What about those Ghost Generals?
Those Ghost Generals driving the carriages all have the strength of a Yang God Celestial Master. If we hadn't resisted with our lives, I'm afraid we would have entered the Ghost General's stomach before you found us! "
Hearing my question, Wuyue looked surprised. After a moment of silence, she said in confusion, "Those Ghost Generals are really strong, and there are a lot of them. However, Mr. Zhou, you have the Xuan Yuan Sword. As long as you take out the Xuan Yuan Sword, the ghosts here won't dare to get close to you. How could there be danger … No, you don't know the use of the Xuan Yuan Sword?"
This time, it was my turn to be surprised. From Wuyue's words, she knew that I had the Xuan Yuan Sword and thought that I was fine.
After looking at each other, Wuyue spoke first. "This is Wuyue's negligence. I thought that since Mr. Zhou has the Xuan Yuan Sword, you must know its use. I didn't expect to bring you so much trouble. I'm really sorry."
She apologized again, and her attitude was very sincere.
I was dumbfounded. I hadn't expected things to turn out like this.
However, when she mentioned the Xuan Yuan Sword, I thought of the doubt in my heart. I simply waved my hand at her. "Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it. Anyway, it didn't cause any serious consequences.
However, I haven't understood how Senior knew our identities and how you knew that I carried the Xuan Yuan Sword. I hope Senior can tell me. "
Ever since I met this mysterious Wuyue, I seemed to have no secrets in front of her. After enduring for so long, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore. I simply said it out loud and asked directly.
Wuyue looked at me and didn't answer. Instead, she smiled mysteriously and said, "This question is also related to the thing I showed you … There's no need for me to answer. When you see that thing, you will naturally know."
Hearing this answer, I furrowed my eyebrows even tighter.
Previously, she said that she would show us something, and then we would leave this place. Now, she said that she knew our background, and it was also related to that thing.
I thought about it, but I couldn't think of anything that could link the two.
