I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 723: Rivers of Blood

Chapter 723: Rivers of Blood

After eating and drinking our fill, we set off.

Gu Heng walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the teleportation array.

Along the way, Gu Heng kept thinking about how to get through that teleportation array. First of all, that teleportation array is the only passage between the Xuan Tian Realm and the Demon Realm, so it is a strategic location.

That must be the stronghold of the demon invaders, and it must be teeming with powerful experts!

Although I have some strength now, if I force my way in and run into someone I can't handle, I'll be in big trouble.

Forget about entering the Demon Realm; they might even die a violent death outside.

and.

He didn't know how to use the teleportation array either. "What should I do..."

Gu Heng walked and thought, but he couldn't come up with a good solution. However, he decided to let himself be captured first, if the Demon Realm would take prisoners.

If you don't arrest them and kill them on sight, then this tactic won't work.

Anyway.

Let's test the waters first!

Two or three hours later, Gu Heng stood on a hilltop, gazing at the distant horizon.

He could already see the ripples as the teleportation array operated, those clusters of spatial ripples rising and falling like waves.

But there's still a problem: he's been walking for so long and hasn't encountered a single demon soldier along the way!

What does this mean?

It was said that the Western Regions were already ravaged by demonic calamities and suffering countless lives, yet he had traveled such a long way that he could already see teleportation arrays, but he hadn't seen a single person along the way.

He progressed too smoothly, encountering no obstacles whatsoever. Since he didn't encounter any invaders from the demon realm, becoming a prisoner was out of the question.

Could it be that the demon invaders are not even willing to defend such a strategic location?

Gu Heng couldn't understand what was going on, but there was no turning back now. There was no need to turn back and become a coward. It was better to keep moving forward and see what happened.

So he continued forward, proceeding cautiously for half an hour.

then.

Gu Heng then understood why he couldn't see a single person.

Here stands a large camp, rising abruptly from the ground amidst the mountains. Yet, a thick stench of blood permeates the air. Gu Heng doesn't even need to enter; standing atop a slightly higher hill, he can see just a glimpse of the horrific tragedy unfolding within the camp! Gu Heng swallowed hard and made up his mind to step into the camp.

There were a lot of corpses lying haphazardly inside, and the entire camp was deathly silent. He walked around several times before he was sure that they had all been killed!

It wasn't that no one was guarding the camp, but rather that none of the demon cultivators guarding the camp survived.

A cultivator broke into this place and wreaked havoc, slaughtering the Demon Realm's invasion base camp in the Xuan Tian Realm!

"Who is it?"

Gu Heng looked at the river of blood flowing beneath his feet, his expression grave.

He had seen dead people before, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a horrific scene. Whoever it was, to cause such a bloodbath in this camp without making a sound, must be no ordinary person!

These people haven't been dead for long, which means that if he hadn't lingered in Silverfire City for an extra hour or two just to get a good meal... wouldn't he have stumbled upon this massacre?!

Think so.

Gu Heng felt a chill run down his spine.

But since things have already come to this, he has nothing to say, and this might even be more convenient.

Because the teleportation array is no longer guarded!

"This should be considered a godsend opportunity..."

Gu Heng sighed, lifted his leg and stepped onto a high platform. This was the array node of the teleportation array. Destroying this would shut down the teleportation array.

He had a general understanding of how teleportation arrays worked.

It's roughly about setting up an array on the ground, which then distorts the space above, creating a passage, and so on...

The problem is, I can't fly.

He could even defeat a Xuanxian, so he must be a powerful immortal himself. But for an immortal to be unable to fly is just laughable. Gu Heng rubbed his temples in annoyance.

"System, oh system, I've become so powerful, you have to give me something worthy of my status, right?"

An idea struck him.

and many more!

It even has its own in-game store.

Speaking of the system, the system inventory and system shop are indeed the most useful.

You can check if there are any new items in the store; he hasn't checked the store for a while now.
