The Clan Master of the Chen Family was the first to arrive. He was shocked when he arrived with his men.
He had been here many times and found that this place was completely different from the Cursed Land he knew. Or rather, the Cursed Land had disappeared.
There used to be many mountains nearby, but now, not a single mountain could be seen within a radius of 10,000 miles. They were all flattened. The Cursed Land was gone, and there was a huge pit.
The purple haze had dissipated in many places. The palaces were flattened. It was a mess as if the end of the world had come.
The flattening of the palaces was not a big deal. More importantly, there were broken limbs everywhere. There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Needless to say, many people had died here.
"It's our men!"
A Patriarch of the Chen Family yelled. Their Divine Perception could detect fragments of the Chen Family's armor and tokens in many places.
Although the corpses had been turned into minced meat, they could still recognize some details.
"Swish!"
Someone was running. The Clan Master of the Chen Family and the others were shocked when they used their Divine Perception to check. The flying person's clothes were ragged and his hair was disheveled. He looked like a ferocious ghost.
"Senior Jiu Deng!"
The Clan Master of the Chen Family recognized that person. He quickly flew over to him and asked, "What's going on?
What happened? "
Dan Jiu Deng said despondently, "Dead, all dead. This bastard is too cruel. I don't know how he did it. He detonated the Sacred Pattern in the Cursed Land!
One of our Grand Supreme Elders, four Patriarchs, and people from your family are all dead. "
Although the Clan Master of the Chen Family and the Patriarchs were mentally prepared, their faces still darkened when they heard Dan Jiu Deng's words.
The Chen Family was a big family in this area. However, the death of four Patriarchs and 100,000 soldiers was a big loss for them.
"Pingzhi, don't worry!"
Seeing the Clan Master's face, Dan Jiu Deng said bitterly, "I've sent a message back. My Clan Master will be here soon. He will give the Chen Family an explanation then."
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
Many people flew over from the distance. They were the powerful warriors of the nearby families who were alarmed.
When they saw so many severed limbs nearby, all of their faces were filled with shock.
They knew that the Chen Clan had mobilized so many troops previously. The Shan Clan had asked the Chen Clan for help in capturing a cultivator.
Now that there were so many corpses and the Cursed Land had become like this, it was needless to say that the Chen Family had been completely annihilated.
With such a great commotion, could it be that a Great Emperor had made a move?
There were scouts from various clans lurking nearby. When they discovered that the Chen Clan was standing still, they denied the possibility of the Great Emperor making a move. Otherwise, the Chen Clan's Patriarch would have been scared witless.
"The Divine Inscriptions in the Cursed Lands are so powerful, how can they self-destruct?
Could it be that the person your clan is pursuing is a Divine Inscriptionist? "
The Chen Clan Leader asked in confusion, then added, "Is that person dead?"
"No idea …"
Dan Jiudeng's eyes turned slightly red. He thought for a moment and said, "He should be dead. He's in the center of the cursed land.
Our Grand Elder is dead, how can he not be dead? "
"It's too easy for him to die!" The Chen family's patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "If he doesn't die, I'll skin him alive and make him wish he was dead."
The conversation between Dan Jiudeng and the Chen Family Patriarch was overheard by the scouts nearby. They left at once to spread the news.
Dan Jiudeng and the Chen Family Patriarch didn't think of blocking the news. Dan Jiudeng was thinking about how to explain to the Family Patriarch later so he didn't pay any attention to the scouts nearby.
The Chen Family Patriarch, on the other hand, knew that such a matter could not be kept a secret. So many families nearby were alarmed. If they didn't know the whole story, they would suspect that some Great Emperor was trying to deal with the Chen Family.
Soon, the news spread out. It was too big to be kept under wraps. Dozens of families nearby were alarmed.
Soon, the news spread to all corners of the Godly Wind Continent.
The Shan Family had been pursuing a young warrior named Lu Li. People at the center of the Godly Wind Continent knew about it. Some at the north had heard about it as well.
Everything made sense — this young warrior named Lu Li ran into the cursed land. Then, Dan Jiudeng, a Shan Family Great Patriarch and four patriarchs all went after him.
For some reason, the cursed land suddenly exploded. The Shan Family Great Patriarch and four patriarchs, as well as the 100,000 warriors and four patriarchs of the Chen Family, were all killed.
The death of the Chen Family warriors and the four patriarchs of the Shan Family were nothing. But the death of Patriarch Jiu caused a sensation at the Godly Wind Continent.
A powerful warrior of the Shan Family, a powerful warrior of the Shan Family!
Normally, nobody dared to provoke a family of great emperor. Even if there were some conflicts, it was unlikely that any powerful warrior would die, not to mention a powerful warrior of the Shan Family.
That was why a family of great emperor was powerful. With the existence of a Great Emperor, nobody dared to offend this family.
A family of great emperor would occupy a large piece of land with endless resources.
Over the years, the powerful warriors of the family would not die. The younger generation of the family would grow up and the number of powerful warriors would increase.
Now, the Shan Family was famous at the Godly Wind Continent. Not only did someone dare to challenge them, but the Shan Family lost a powerful warrior of the Shan Family. How could such a matter not cause a sensation?
Three days later, the Shan Family Patriarch arrived at the cursed land. He asked about what had happened and went around the cursed land. He comforted the Chen Family Patriarch and then went back with the others.
The cursed land had become like this. Patriarch Jiu and the others were dead. Lu Li would not survive.
What else could the Shan Family Patriarch say?
He had to admit that he was unlucky and go back to apologize to Phoenix Queen.
Upon his return, the Shan Family Patriarch went to the Phoenix Palace. To his surprise, Phoenix Queen was not there.
Phoenix Queen left a message for a maid, saying that she was going to explore a dangerous place with another emperor.
The Shan Family Patriarch made an announcement after much thought. He said that Patriarch Jiu and the others went to hunt down Lu Li. Though they killed Lu Li, they accidentally detonated the runes of the cursed land, causing the land to explode.
The death of Patriarch Jiu could not be kept a secret. The Shan Family Patriarch might as well admit it openly. In this way, he could save some of his reputation.
This meant that the death of Patriarch Jiu was not caused by Lu Li. It was the explosion of the runes of the cursed land.
When the news came, the Godly Wind Continent quieted down. After all, the cursed land was one of the three most dangerous places of the Godly Wind Continent. It was understandable that the explosion of the runes could kill a powerful warrior of the Lord Realm.
"That young warrior is lucky. He had a powerful warrior of the Lord Realm die with him!"
Many people said the same thing. Nobody believed that Lu Li was still alive.
The explosion of the cursed land was so horrifying that even a powerful warrior of the Lord Realm could die. How could Lu Li be alive?
…
As a matter of fact, Lu Li … was still alive!
But at the moment, living was worse than death. He was in a mountain at the north of the Godly Wind Continent. He had passed out and was covered in blood.
One of his arms was broken. His other hand and the bones in his legs were broken as well. Only a few of his bones were intact.
He was like a boneless maggot lying on the mountain, with two ferocious beasts tearing at his flesh.
If it were not for the fact that his body was strong enough and the two beasts were just average beasts, he would have become their food.
Before the explosion of the cursed land, the space was unfrozen. Lu Li successfully drew a formation in the void and flew away.
However, not long after he got in, before the golden door was closed, the space was torn apart and he was forced out.
