Chapter 1120 Huaixi City

“I saw a maze in the main hall, and there were many murals on the walls of the maze.”

Wu Qingyun said, "These murals are traces left over from ancient times. The scenes are very bloody, with depictions of binding, dismemberment, and people stabbing others in the heart with iron spikes..."

"So, are these murals related to the ultimate secret of the Eternal Night World? And what does your unraveling of this ultimate secret have to do with Mingyue?"

Bai Pu remembered the hint from the spirit world's will: it was Wu Qingyun and Wu Mingyue who uncovered the ultimate secret of the Eternal Night World together.

"Of course they're related. This maze is extremely complex and also possesses some kind of mental interference. I got lost inside. And the murals in the maze need to be connected step by step along the correct path to unlock the ultimate secret."

Wu Qingyun said, "After I entered the main hall, I asked my aunt to walk to the location above the ground corresponding to the main hall... that is, above the ice layer. Then my aunt pointed out the direction to me. I tried many times and finally made it through the maze and saw the complete set of murals."

Bai Pu understood: Wu Qingyun was in the main hall beneath the ice and seawater, while Wu Mingyue was on the frozen surface of the ground.

Wu Qingyun was trapped in the maze, mentally disturbed, unable to see the true nature of the place, and lost her way. Under normal circumstances, she would not be able to get out of the maze.

Wu Mingyue acted like a space satellite, serving as a GPS navigator. The two communicated using the Source Master's Descent Space and ultimately successfully cracked the secret of the underwater labyrinth.

"So what is the ultimate secret you discovered by connecting the dots from the murals?" Bai Pu asked.

"It seems to have explained the origins of the big boss, the 'Night King'."

Wu Qingyun recalled, "In ancient times, there was a prosperous ancient human empire. In the war against foreign invasion, they were at a disadvantage and were about to be wiped out. So they came up with a plan to create human weapons. They inserted a rune stone that sealed an ancient virus into the heart of the test subject... The mother of the experiment was the Night King, who became an immortal monster from then on."

Bai Pu pondered and said, "Ancient virus... No wonder there is an energy barrier outside the main hall. But this energy barrier can be eroded by your blood-dissolving battle qi."

Wu Qingyun's Blood-Melting Battle Qi was obtained in the Virus World.

Compared to the reproductive instinct of ordinary viruses, the pure blood that Bai Pu bestowed upon Wu Qingyun possesses an evolutionary instinct, making it more advanced.

Therefore, even the Blood-Melting Battle Qi obtained in a first-tier world can perform well in a second-tier world, capable of eroding the energy barrier left by the Night King, although it takes a long time.

Wu Qingyun concluded, "I found some scrolls in the main hall, which looked like rubbings of patterns from murals..."

"There must be a weakness of the Night King hidden here."

Bai Pu immediately said, "Qingyun, you are probably in great danger right now... Judging from the fact that the Night King has set up an energy barrier to protect this underwater palace, he attaches great importance to this underwater palace that records his secrets!"

"He may not have noticed your erosion of the energy barrier, but it's hard to say what you've done by taking the rubbing scroll! Hurry up and go back to the human camp. Find a human expert of sufficient strength and hand the scroll over to them! Mingyue, you are responsible for negotiating with Qingyun and using that to gain more benefits."

Wu Qingyun and Wu Mingyue agreed simultaneously, thus concluding the Source Lord meeting.

……

Bai Pu traveled a distance in Lingxi and, relying on the aerial views left by the Lion Camel Dragon flight, returned to Cuiling.

However, as soon as Bai Pu stepped into a willow grove, he heard faint sounds of fighting in the air.

With a sweep of his spiritual energy, Bai Pu quickly confirmed that both sides in the fight were human.

"Very well, tribes from Lingxi? Interesting."

Bai Pu accelerated, rushing towards the direction from which the fighting was coming from.

……

Two groups of people were engaged in a fierce battle in the clearing between the willows.

One group of people were dressed in blue robes with embroidered leaf patterns, led by a woman in a tight-fitting outfit.

Across from us was a group of people dressed in tan clothing with gold stripes on their belts.

"Good heavens, this style of clothing is completely different from that of the three tribes of Cuiling."

Bai Pu was somewhat surprised.

If the three tribes of Cuiling, dressed in animal skins and bone armor, resemble primitive tribes from a barbaric era, then the two groups of people before us, dressed in cotton, linen, and silk, resemble powerful families from a feudal era.

Bai Pu deduced that the Lingxi area might be the territory ruled by a human dynasty in the wild world, while the Cuiling and Luanshi Mountains to the east were considered "barren lands beyond the reach of civilization" by the human dynasty.

Why were these powerful families not able to develop and settle in the three thousand miles of verdant mountains?
Bai Pu looked up at the ancient, towering locust tree that stretched across the east and west sides of the verdant ridge...

It may be this mysterious ancient locust tree, with its massive root system that extends like a mountain range, isolating the verdant hills.

As for the reason for the conflict between the two groups, Bai Pu could roughly understand it.

This willow grove is nestled against a cliff, from which hang ancient vines as thick as pythons.

These ancient vines are all dark brown, resembling withered, rotten wood.

However, from the middle of the ancient vine, a rather inconspicuous dark red vine extended out.

Dead trees come back to life, old trees sprout new buds.

Based on the knowledge accumulated by Taoist alchemists, Bai Pu could guess that this section of dark red vine must contain amazing life energy and was a rare and precious medicinal material.

He just didn't know if it was a Dark Gold grade medicinal herb or a King grade medicinal herb. Bai Pu hoped these two groups would continue fighting, fight well, and ideally both be severely injured, so he could then scavenge the spoils.

However, Bai Pu's secret plan failed.

It was clear that the group in blue robes with embroidered leaves was weaker and couldn't defeat the group in yellowish-brown clothing.

Among the men in green, only the woman at the head was roughly equal in strength to the leader in yellow. The two were locked in a fierce battle, one in green and one in yellow, and were considered evenly matched.

Unfortunately, her subordinates were incompetent, and screams of pain from being beaten were constant.

The female leader in green lost her composure and was struck in the abdomen by a powerful iron pestle from the leader in yellow. She staggered back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering at least a moderate injury.

"Sha Hao, our Ye Clan doesn't want this 'Mysterious Blood Vine'! Let's go!"

The female leader in green chose to give up.

"Hehehe... Think you can just leave? Not so easy!"

The yellow-clad leader's situation suddenly changed; streams of quicksand surged, burying the green-clad female leader until her calves were submerged.

"We are all families from Huaixi City. Do you want to wipe us out? Aren't you afraid of the Ye Clan's revenge?" the female leader in green said in shock and anger.

"You're too naive, Ye Qingmei. You think I came for the Xuanxue Vine? You're wrong, I came for you!"

Sha Hao sneered, "Of course I'm afraid of the Ye Clan's revenge. It's just a pity that the Ye Clan will soon be gone from Huai Xi City..."

As he spoke, Sha Hao took out a brocade box, and when he opened it, a dull crystal core was revealed inside.

Sha Hao announced with a booming voice: "The Ye Clan stole the 'Thunder Horn Core' and privately absorbed its energy to activate the King-level treasure, the Profound Blood Vine. The price they paid was destroying the protective array of Huai Xi City! Now that the Thunder Horn Core, which has lost its energy, and the newly grown Profound Blood Vine are both there, caught red-handed, let's see how your Ye Clan can explain themselves to the City Lord."

Ye Qingmei said angrily, "This is all a frame-up by your Sand Clan. City Lord Dongfang has keen eyes and will surely see through the Sand Clan's conspiracy!"

"I'm framing you? Heh heh, extracting lightning energy to activate a precious medicine—only your Leaf Clan's secret 'Calamity Wood Qi' can do that. Our Sand Clan doesn't have that ability!"

Ye Qingmei's expression changed drastically; she had also thought of this.

This means that there is a traitor within the Ye clan!

Just then, a burst of hearty laughter rang out.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Neither Ye Qingmei nor Sha Hao had heard of these two sentences before, so they were clearly not from Huai Xi City. However, from the fluctuations in their thoughts, everyone could clearly understand their meaning.

Bai Pu stepped forward.

Although he couldn't understand the languages ​​of the Ye and Sha tribe leaders, he clearly understood their words and grasped the situation from their emotional fluctuations.

If he doesn't step forward soon, the Ye Clan will be captured and killed, and he'll have to deal with the Sand Clan alone to seize the King-level treasure medicine.

Although Bai Pu is not afraid of group battles, it is always a good thing to be able to relax a bit.

Moreover, Bai Pu was very interested in the "Huaixi City" mentioned by the two tribes, and he also needed an introducer to take him, a traveler from afar, into the city.

Here, Bai Pu's thinking went a little further. No wonder there was no option to purchase a language after entering this world.

The Wilderness World was vast, and its various regions were fraught with danger and extremely isolated, lacking a unified common language. For example, the language of the three tribes of Cuiling was completely different from the language of Huaixi City before them.

"who are you!"

Sha Hao looked at Bai Pu and said sternly.

"What a classic villainous face."

Bai Pu shook his head, "But considering it's an evolution of the spirit world, it's not too strange."

He then raised his voice: "Hey, members of the Ye Clan, I'll lend you a hand. This King-level treasure, the Profound Blood Vine, is mine. How about it?"

A surge of emotions, accompanied by Bai Pu's voice, spread out.

Ye Qingmei was very excited and immediately said, "We agree!"

She originally intended to give up the Blood Vine, only hoping that her clansmen would survive.

Of course, Sha Hao disagreed.

He stared at Bai Pu, trying to see through Bai Pu's true nature, while issuing a threat in a chilling tone:

"Where do you come from, sir, and dare to meddle in the affairs of the Sand Clan of Huai Xi City? My Sand Clan Chief, Sha Tongtian, is one of the top three experts in Huai Xi City! If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened!"

See, the indigenous people are such a hassle; they can't even clearly define their strength levels.

However, judging from the aura he sensed, Sha Hao in front of him should be at the level of a level 16 lord. Therefore, the Sha Tongtian clan chief is most likely a level 16 enhanced lord.
Bai Pu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "You really want to let me go? I heard everything you were plotting just now."
