Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1074 Unexpected Turn of Events

Ye Qing and the others were also shocked by what they saw!

This place is no longer a small town, but a huge ruin.

All the buildings were completely destroyed, and terrifying energy fluctuations were everywhere. Countless streams of blood flowed and pooled on the ground, making the whole place look like a living hell!

"This is... a domain!" Ye Qing exclaimed in shock, "There's a domain lord-level expert here!"

"Snapped!"

Just then, a whooshing sound came rushing in, and at the same time, a huge vine swept down from the sky, instantly lifting their hovercar up.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

Ye Qing's expression changed slightly!

He snapped his fingers!

"Snapped!"

A bolt of lightning roared out instantly, severing the hovercar in two. Ye Qing then used his mental power to control the hovercar, and everyone landed steadily on the ground.

"Get out!" Li Jiang shouted.

"It's too late!" Ye Qing said, "We've already entered their territory. Unless they release it themselves, we won't be able to get out! Let's get out of the car and figure out what's going on here."

Sensing the terrifying and evil aura around him, Ye Qing spoke with a somewhat solemn expression.

After getting off the car, the sinister aura became even stronger.

All around were endless vines, which covered the ruins, making the entire huge town look extremely eerie.

"It's a corrupted being!" Mu Ling'er exclaimed in horror, "A corrupted being at the Domain Lord level! It seems... the information we had was correct!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked.

“There are many corruptors in this world because the power of corruption is everywhere. Many people cannot suppress it. The vast majority of corruptors are eliminated once they are discovered. The Knights’ primary task is to eliminate them,” Mu Ling’er said. “However… it is said that the Holy See will control some powerful corruptors and take them back to the Holy See to keep them in a place called Cold Mountain.”

"So, this place is very likely the work of the corrupters?" Ye Qing said thoughtfully. "This place is on our only way to the imperial city, so they're planning to use these monsters to deal with me, right?"

"I don't know!" Mu Ling'er said, "If it's about dealing with you, given the size of this town and the daily population of hundreds of thousands, it means that all these people will become casualties and nourishment for these polluters. This could easily get out of control."

Just as they were talking, a figure appeared in the distance, moving with lightning speed towards Ye Qing and the others. This person had a human body, but his legs were like tree roots!

"Get out of here!" Ye Qing's eyes flashed coldly!

At the same time, mental energy enveloped the past!

However, his mental energy seemed to have no effect on the other party. He rushed towards Ye Qing like a madman.

"roll!"

Ye Qing roared, and lightning and sword intent roared out in an instant, slashing towards his opponent.

The opponent's body was sliced ​​in two!

However, what Ye Qing found strange was that he did not die. A connection was quickly established between the two parts of his body, and then countless roots connected the two parts, linking the bodies together.

"What the hell is this?" Ye Qing exclaimed in shock, "The pollutants are terrifying!"

"The changes in those who have been contaminated are all related to their own characteristics," Mu Ling'er said loudly. "This person's characteristics seem somewhat like those of a tree person. You have to think of it as cutting down a tree—how can you cut down a tree to death!"

"Roots?" Ye Qing looked at the intertwined roots on the other person's feet, and waved his right hand, about to make a move!

Just then, a flash of green light streaked past!

"Kacha!"

In an instant, a sword intent severed the roots of the tree-man. At the same time, the man spread his five fingers, and flames instantly ignited, causing the roots to burn and melt rapidly, turning into ashes.

"Dual attributes of wood and fire?" Ye Qing's expression shifted. "Peak of Immortal Realm?"

Judging from her figure, the newcomer was a woman, and her strength was not low!

After dealing with the tree-man, he quickly turned around and asked Ye Qing, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye Qing?"

Ye Qing sized him up, her eyes narrowing as she asked, "Are you from the Holy See?"

"I... I suppose so!" the woman said. "I am Honglian, the High Priestess of the Holy See, a subordinate of Pope Moxi!"

"Are you Honglian?" Mu Ling'er's pupils contracted.

Beside her, Wang Lu's expression suddenly changed as she asked, "The First High Priest, Red Lotus?"

"This is not the place to talk!" Honglian looked at Ye Qing and said, "Mr. Ye Qing, I mean no harm. I am here on behalf of Pope Mo Xi. There are some things I would like to discuss with you. Let's leave this place first!"

"Why should I believe you?" Ye Qing said, "Don't lead me astray. This place is rife with pollutants, and even a Domain Lord-level being has been released here. According to what I know, your Holy See seems to be keeping these pollutants in captivity, waiting here, actually to deal with me!"

Honglian's expression tightened as she said, "I never expected them to do this, releasing all the pollutants from the entire Cold Mountain."

“Senior, the domain has now been activated, and countless people throughout the city are its nourishment. This domain can last for a very, very long time!” Honglian said. “We need to find a safe place before I can explain this to you!”

She paused again before adding, "Pope Mo Xi is different from the other two. She has no hostility towards you. This whole thing was Kaisen's idea!"

Ye Qing pondered for a moment before looking at Mu Ling'er and Wang Lu!

Wang Lu said, "Pope Mo Xi is indeed a very kind person, but I have never met him; it's just a legend!"

Mu Ling'er pondered for a long time before saying, "I think we can go with her and find out what's going on!"

Ye Qing glanced at Hong Lian.

He nodded and said, "Alright then, lead the way!"

The reason he dared to follow was because he possessed the ability to kill his opponent. He was at the peak of immortality, and at the peak of immortality of a level six civilization. Now, he could be said to be able to kill someone with a single slap!
