Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6385: Two-Faced Godʼs Mansion

Ziyu Immortal nodded and increased her speed considerably.

After traveling for a day, the group finally entered the Two-Faced Godʼs Mansion.

Although it was called a mansion, it actually resembled a vast, ancient territory.

This place had not been developed by any sect, and some demons still lived here. However, their strength was very weak and posed no threat to the group.

The only worry was encountering a Zhen Xian within the Two-Faced Godʼs Mansion.

If they were discovered, it would trigger a chain reaction.

On their way to the Blood River, they had already passed several Zhen Xian abodes. These were the obvious Zhen Xian abodes, but some Zhen Xian had eccentric personalities, much like the Two-Faced Buddha, and likely no one even knew where their abodes were. The group was most afraid of this scenario. If they stumbled upon an eccentric Dao Master who had opened a hidden abode near the outskirts of the Two-Faced Godʼs Mansion, and disguised their identity, they would all be doomed once discovered.

The powerful beings following the Two-Faced Buddha were hardly normal.

Especially his four Guardians, each of whom was a top-tier Dao Master with countless killings under their belt. Some had even provoked Emperors, which is why they sought refuge with the Two-Faced Buddha-both for protection and because they shared the same twisted nature.

If they ran into these people, even the cultivators within the Two-Faced Godʼs Mansion could be doomed.

Not to mention the fact that they were strong beings from Tiantan City, combined with True Lord Xue Yangʼs unique identity, they probably wouldnʼt even know how they died.

So, throughout the journey, they were on edge, not daring to let their guard down.

They even intentionally avoided the sacred mountains, flying only in the low skies above the plains.

Most powerful beings preferred to open abodes in mountain ranges.

Very few chose to open abodes on the plains.

But it wasnʼt completely unheard of.

However, the chances were much lower, which reduced the risk of encountering powerful beings.

Ziyu Immortal led the way, considering every possibility. She made sure to be as cautious as possible. If they still encountered a Dao Master in the outskirts, it could only be attributed to bad luck.

After flying for a full day, they finally completed most of the journey. The Blood River was now close, and they could already sense the stench of blood emanating from it.

There were also more beasts in this area, particularly bloodthirsty ones.

”Thereʼs a swarm of bloodthirsty bats ahead. If we take a detour, weʼll need to travel an additional thirty million miles, and that area is mountainous, which carries higher risks!” Ziyu Immortal explained, seeking the groupʼs input.

The old man Tian Can raised his brow slightly and asked, ”Whatʼs the strength of the bat swarm?”

”The Bat King is a Zhen Xian, probably not a Second Step Zhen Xian, while the others are in the Great Ascension stage, with a few at the Nascent Soul stage. There are roughly thirty thousand of them. Within a seventy-thousand-mile radius, there are only two other Zhen Xian-level beasts, and no cultivators,” Ziyu Immortal reported on the surrounding situation. At that moment, True Lord Wuhou spoke, ”Letʼs walk through and leave the low skies to them.”

The group had been flying in the low skies, where the bats were also flying. Even though their aura was being concealed, they could still be seen with the naked eye. Moreover, bats had strong sensory abilities and could easily detect them.

So, they had no choice but to walk on land.

Although it would slow their pace, it was still better than engaging in a fight.

True Lord Xue Yang was getting anxious, as the slow speed meant they had not yet reached the Blood River. The slower they moved, the higher the risk became.

He immediately spoke up, ”Letʼs just fly at low altitude. If we encounter them, weʼll kill them directly. Thereʼs no need to waste time. Weʼre very close to the Blood River, and beasts often fight here. The strong smell of blood can completely mask us from those bats. Even if cultivators notice, they wonʼt care!”

”Agreed!” the Old Man Tian Can said.

Fairy Ziyu nodded and replied, ”Alright, Tian Can, youʼll handle it later!”

”No problem!”

The Old Man Tian Can was confident. Dealing with a group of weak bat monsters posed no challenge for him.

The reason he was chosen to act was because of a special immortal artifact he possessed.

Before long, they approached the bat swarm.

At that moment, the Old Man Tian Can took out a black gourd, casually pulling out the stopper. Instantly, a searing flame surged forth.

The flame contained no immortal power, making it more subtle and secure.

However, its potency was overwhelming. In a mere instant, the black flames shot out, incinerating the entire swarm of bats into ashes.

The entire space seemed significantly less oppressive.

Having dealt with the obstacle, the Old Man Tian Can shouted urgently, ”Move!”

Fairy Ziyu immediately picked up speed, and the others followed closely behind.

Dealing with the bat swarm was merely a minor episode.

As they continued to travel millions of miles ahead, the number of monster groups they encountered increased.

They even encountered a few Zhen Xian, who commanded legions of monsters. Although their individual strength was that of a Five-Step Zhen Xian, when commanding their beast armies, their combat prowess could rival a Six-Step or even Seven-Step Zhen Xian.

”Damn it! How are there so many people from the Beast Control Sect in the Twin-Faced Godʼs Palace?” Old Man Tian Can cursed in a low voice.

Fairy Ziyu frowned deeply and shook her head. ”I donʼt know, but their presence likely has something to do with an important figure inside the Twin-Faced Godʼs Palace. That figure

might be nearby. Everyone, stay alert!”

”Yes!!!” the group responded in unison.

Jian Wushuang, however, remained unfazed. His perception extended far beyond the range of

Fairy Ziyuʼs purple furnace.

He could sense all the powerful auras within billions of miles around him, including every expert within the Twin-Faced Godʼs Palace.

Unless the opponent was a Universe Master, they couldnʼt block his detection. Universe Masters had already created their own universes, controlling their own space.

This self-contained law of isolation was beyond Jian Wushuangʼs current ability to probe. But once he mastered an Origin Source similar to that of a Realm Beast, even those self- contained universes wouldnʼt be able to block his Thought power.

For now, though, there were no Universe Masters in the Ancient Domain World, so his Thought power sufficed.

He was just too weak at the moment. Even though he wasnʼt afraid of those Zhen Xian, his current level was only in the Grand Accomplishment stage, so it was wiser to stay low-key.

Throughout the journey, he remained silent.

He followed quietly behind Fairy Ziyu, walking wherever she led.

If he had mentioned that, during the bat extermination, a Seven-Step Zhen Xian was actually hidden below, it wouldʼve likely shocked everyone.

However, that Zhen Xian seemed to be in seclusion and had no interest in bothering them.

It could be considered their good fortune.

But now, things were different.

Many powerful presences lurked within the Blood River, and as they had to follow the river,

they were bound to come close to some Zhen Xian. Fortunately, the distance wasnʼt enough for those experts to notice them.

”Three thousand miles ahead, thereʼs an Eight-Step Zhen Xian!” Jian Wushuangʼs heart

stirred.

Beside that Zhen Xian were dozens of Seven-Step Zhen Xian-level monsters, likely belonging

to a Beast Control Sect expert.

Ten thousand miles away, there was even a Nine-Step Zhen Xian.

Not only could Jian Wushuang detect their locations, but he could also overhear their

conversations.
