"This must be the famous Baihua Ancestral Tree in the Desolate Border Region."
Finally, the group of people went deep into the Baihua Forest of Baize Marquis. In the middle of the countless Baihua trees, there was a towering ancient tree that was thousands of zhang tall. The trunk of the tree was as thick as a mountain, towering and majestic. There were many ancient wrinkles on the trunk, even the smallest one was tens of zhang long, like a curled dragon.
Up in the sky, the scorching sun shone down. Golden light shone through the cracks in the clouds, turning into rays of light. The entire ancestral tree was so big that it blocked out the sun. It was hundreds of miles wide, and it could be said that it covered the entire Baize Marquis Tribe.
The sparkling and translucent tree trunk and the pure white leaves gave off a flickering light under the sunlight. The huge leaves swayed gently. Xiao Chen even felt a peculiar melody spreading out, causing the entire Baize Marquis's headquarters to emit a vast aura.
An ocean-like vitality filled the ancient forest, and even someone as powerful as Xiao Chen felt that it was unfathomable.
"That's right, this is the ancestral tree of our Baihua Forest."
Even with Supremacy He Zhe's cultivation, he could not help but feel a sense of pride when he sensed the envious gazes directed at the Zu Wood.
This ancestral tree had been in the Baihua Forest for tens of thousands of years. After so many years of growth, it could be said that this ancient tree had long become a spiritual tree, and could even be considered a spiritual medicine.
"It's a pity that spiritual medicines are easy to transform, but it's hard to cultivate to become a king medicine. The ancestral tree had already gained sentience five thousand years ago, but it still couldn't improve."
Before truly entering the Baize Marquis's tribe, Xiao Chen could already feel how deep the accumulations of this tribe, which had been passed down for ten thousand years, were. Just this ten-thousand-year-old Psychic Ancestral Tree was enough to make one envious.
At the same time, he could feel that there were more than ten auras lying dormant in the depths of the Baihua Forest. Among them, there was clearly an extremely obscure aura. It was the aura of a Venerable, which meant that there was a Venerable guarding the depths of the forest.
As for the fact that there were only three Venerables guarding the Baihua Forest, he naturally did not believe it.
"Everyone, the war is urgent. Please follow me into the Path of Void."
After entering the Baihua Forest, He Zhe did not waste time on pleasantries, and went straight to the point.
"Of course!"
Not long after, they passed through more than half of the Baize Ancestral Land. A valley appeared not far away from them. The Baize Marquis Tribe did not build a city. The Baize Ancient Forest, which spanned thousands of miles, was the gathering place of their tribe. There were millions of tribesmen scattered in the Baize Ancient Forest.
The closer they got to the valley, the heavier the murderous aura became. Not only that, the entire valley was barren and barren. Unlike the other places in the Baize Marquis' territory, even the dense purple aura of the Baize Marquis' territory could not scatter luck here.
On the cliffs on both sides of the valley, there was a dense Evil Qi that was almost solidifying. Xiao Chen could even sense an omnipresent black Qi filling the air, which reminded Xiao Chen of the Ghostly Night that he had encountered in the Gu Yuan Tribe.
This was Ghost Qi!
It gave people an eerie feeling. If a warrior with weak martial arts cultivation approached this place, he would immediately fall into endless hallucinations and be dismembered by the evil spirits. However, the Ghostly Night that he had encountered in the Gu Yuan Tribe paled in comparison to the scene in front of him.
"Everyone, in the valley is the entrance to the Ghost Clan's Path of Void." He Zhe Zhe pointed at the chilling valley and said solemnly.
"Since ten thousand years ago, the Baize Marquis has been suppressing the Ghost Clan's Path of Void. For ten thousand years, countless people of the Baize Marquis have died in battle. Even eight Venerables have fallen over the years. Almost every thousand years, there will be a Venerable of the Baize Marquis who will die in the Ghost Clan's Path of Void. His flesh and blood will be sucked dry by the evil spirits."
Xiao Chen's eyes were slightly cold, but he did not speak. He saw that there were warriors entering the valley from time to time. However, the warriors who walked out of the valley were all seriously injured. Their bodies were broken, and their flesh and blood were no longer complete.
Their flesh and blood were exposed, but there was a black gas that was difficult to melt. This was the corrosion of the ghost qi. However, the murderous aura gathered on every warrior who entered and exited was very shocking. At a glance, people knew that they must have experienced countless life and death battles.
"Let's go."
He Zhe Zhe Zhe, who was still introducing the Ghost Clan's Path of Void, suddenly stopped talking. Everyone followed him and entered the huge valley.
The Ghost Qi was eerie, and the chill was bone-chilling. The gloomy chill in the valley had already solidified. The ground was covered with a layer of black ice. When people walked on it, the chill would instantly penetrate into the depths of their blood and bones. However, this was nothing for the Venerables. Their qi and blood were slightly tumbling, and they blocked the chill out of their bodies.
On both sides of the valley, there were two ten zhang high stone platforms. On the stone platforms, there were two warriors at the Fifth Sky of the Heavenly Building Realm.
"Greetings, Patriarch."
Seeing the arrival of He Zhe Zhe Zhe Zhe, the two warriors bowed and sat on the stone platforms again without saying a word.
In addition, in the valley, there were thousands of soldiers guarding this huge black stone platform. The stone platform was a thousand zhang high, and above it, there was a space of a hundred zhang wide, shining with seven-colored divine light. From time to time, there would be silver space power flashing.
From time to time, a Combat Soldier would walk out from the Space Vortex. All of them had broken bodies, or were trembling, and were surrounded by a black mist. Their bodies had been corroded by the Ghost Qi. Some of them were supporting each other.
These scenes had long been a common sight in the Ghost Clan's Path of Void. It had been repeated day after day for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps even the clansmen of Baize Marquis Clan were numb to it.
"Clansmen!"
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
After these injured soldiers greeted He Zhe Zhe Zhe Zhe Zhe Zhe Clan, there were pharmacists there to treat their injuries. When they recovered, they would return to the Ghost Clan's Path of Void.
The space vortex in the sky was the entrance of the Ghost Clan's Path of Void. This space vortex was very stable, like a dream. But everyone knew that behind this vortex, there was a bloody storm and a horde of demons.
Buzz!
"This is the defensive city of my Baize Marquis Clan. Originally, the battlefront of my Baize Marquis Clan was five thousand li away. But these days, the Ghost Clan's counterattack was very fierce. We had no choice but to return to the ancient city and rely on the city to resist the attack of the Ghost Clan."
The spatial whirlpool caused one to get lost as it gave off a chaotic light. In an instant, Xiao Chen felt that he had entered a desolate land. A faint gray fog spread everywhere. The entire Void Path was filled with this omnipresent ghostly Qi. Of course, there was also the stench of blood mixed in.
This barren land seemed to be surrounded by a huge wall. However, this ancient city was too vast. There were many small stone houses in the surroundings, and countless soldiers were stationed there.
These Battle Soldiers gathered together, but it was shocking. They were either wolfing down the meat, or lying down on the barren ground and sleeping. Apart from the occasional sounds of weapons clashing, there was no other sound in the entire city.
"This is the Ghost Suppressing City that belongs to me, Marquis Baize. Everyone, follow me." He Zhe walked in the air and headed towards the center of the city. There was a stone tower that was ten thousand feet tall.
The stone pagoda was dark red in color, and its surroundings were covered with countless marks left by knives and axes, making one feel a sharp aura blossoming. Xiao Chen sensed that there were three obscure Qi dynamics in this stone pagoda, and one of them was familiar to him. It was the Great Elder of Baize Marquis Tribe, Vajra Venerable One.
In the hall at the top of the stone tower.
"Greetings, Clan Leader." Three figures greeted He Zhe Venerable.
They were the three Venerables that Xiao Chen sensed earlier, and one of them was actually a female Venerable. At this moment, including the Venerable that Xiao Chen sensed in the Baihua Ancient Forest outside, there were already five Venerables in Baize Marquis Tribe. This did not include the most mysterious Patriarch of Baize Marquis Tribe, who was said to be a Great Martial Artist who was only one step away from becoming a Great Venerable.
Soon, Xiao Chen and the others already knew the identities of the other two Venerables. They were Venerable Baifeng and Venerable Lan Feng. Venerable Lan Feng was the female Venerable, and both of them were the Supreme Elders of Baize Marquis Tribe.
At this moment, there were nine Venerables in the entire Ghost Clan's Void Road, including Xiao Chen and the others who were invited by the Baize Marquis Tribe's Patriarch. However, when they heard the Great Elder of Baize Marquis Tribe, everyone's mind became silent.
"Thousand Ghosts Devouring Formation!"
"That's right!"
Venerable Vajra smiled bitterly. "In the past few months, the Baize Marquis Tribe's Combat Masters have fought with the Ghost Clan more than ten times. A large number of our clansmen died in battle, causing the tribe to suffer heavy losses. We had no choice but to retreat to Ghost Suppressing City as a defense. Then, Lord Clan Leader went to the Human Clan's Ancestral Court to ask for help."
"However, after we retreated and successfully suppressed the ghosts, the Ghost Clan on the other side set up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Formation in front of the city. This formation is a high-grade Earth-rank formation, and even if a Venerable is trapped in it, they would be in danger of being devoured by the ten thousand ghosts. The two great elders and I forcefully broke into the formation a few days ago, but we returned without any success and even almost died."
"The Ghost Clan is cunning. With the help of the Thousand Ghosts Devouring Formation, they constantly invade our Ghost Suppressing City, intending to slowly wear down the strength of our Baize Marquis Tribe."
Venerable He Ze said, "This is also the reason why I asked for everyone's help. The Ghost Clan's Thousand Ghosts Devouring Formation is set up in front of our Ghost Suppressing City, allowing the Ghost Clan to be invincible and constantly invade our Baize Marquis Tribe. Every day, thousands of soldiers are heavily injured or even killed. However, if we want to fight back, we must break this Thousand Ghosts Formation."
"The Ghost Clan has made up their mind to delay our Baize Marquis Tribe so that we don't have the energy to prepare for the Border River Battle in a few years. They really deserve to die!"
Xue Feng was the first to lose his temper and shouted. The Ghost Clan had set up the Thousand Ghosts Devouring Formation, but they were not in a hurry to attack. It was obvious that they wanted to delay the Baize Marquis Tribe.
