150: Hazy Moon

During the attack on Chenyang City, Chu Yuan had once refined anomalies; but that time, he hadn't discovered anything special... Perhaps it was because those anomalies were of too low a level and hadn't developed intelligence yet; or perhaps it was because his own level at that time was too low, making it difficult to perceive...

An indescribable feeling arose, as if... his life origin was being completed? This was a good thing, but it wasn't right; since stepping into Foundation Establishment, a Cultivator Cultivates both internally and externally, with the Soul and Physical Body nourishing each other; there shouldn't have been any flaws to begin with!

But now was not the time to investigate the reason, so he calmed his mind and focused on refining the anomalies with all his might.

"Wait... wait a moment! I am a Martial Artist of the First Legion, ordered to execute a mission here..."

A Martial Artist suddenly flew up desperately and shouted loudly; a blood-colored chain was attached to the top of his head, making him look like a marionette; in the time it took to say this sentence, his body rapidly shriveled...

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly controlled the Blood Sea Soul Locking Formation, then immediately looked at Yuan Yang; accidentally injuring friendly troops, how could this be allowed?

Yuan Yang whispered: "That is indeed possible. The Soldier Soul Profound Realm is a mixed bag, so it's not strange for us to have planted spies here..."

He Han spoke: "How can you prove your identity?"

Although that Fifth Realm Martial Artist was extremely weak, he still struggled to curse: "You f***ing... when you go to execute an undercover mission, do you bring items that prove your identity?"

"..." Chu Yuan quickly made a decision in his heart; now was indeed not the time to verify identities, but there weren't many of the Human Race in Withered Eye City to begin with.

Whether they were traitors or his own people executing a mission... he just wouldn't refine them, and the rest was none of his business; as the Formation operated, those of the Human Race who had their life origin extracted suddenly discovered that the blood-colored chains were actually nourishing them?

Immediately, a voice containing energy spread throughout the city; "All members of the Human Race, leave Withered Eye City immediately!"

"If we're talking about delicious, the Souls of the Dark Spirit Clan are the best in the world!" "I don't agree, the Souls of the Human Race are the most palatable..."

"On the contrary, the Souls of the Human Race are a bit too mediocre; although delicious, they always lack a bit of flavor." "That is not actually the case..." "Does no one think the Souls of the Nightmare Insect Clan... are very chewy?"

In the gloomy stone hall, a group of anomalies were talking to each other; they were bizarre in shape, but terrifying auras flowed over their bodies, as if staring at them for a while longer would cause one to fall into a terrifying illusion...

"Meng Yue, why aren't you speaking?" A mass of silver-gray mist trembled, and a slightly impatient voice came through: "Subordinates have reported that someone is causing trouble in Withered Eye City right now."

"...What Realm?" "A few Sixth Realm members of the Human Race." "Then what are you worried about?"

"Meng Yue, your courage is getting smaller and smaller; mere Sixth Realm members of the Human Race, isn't that just an extra meal for the little ones? Or are you trying to steal food from the little ones?"

A few teasing remarks rang out, and the mass of silver-gray mist contracted a few times, falling into silence; familiar anomalies knew that Meng Yue was a bit angry...

But there was no way to rush; today was the day for offering tributes, and the Mental Energy accumulated in each city, as well as the collected Souls, all had to be handed over to the Lord; even if there was a matter of sky-high importance, they couldn't leave right now...

Meng Yue waited patiently until a sound of killing intent rang out; the scene inside the stone hall changed, and the view instantly widened! It was as if an ancient battlefield had descended, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood and fire...

These anomalies had long been accustomed to this and fell silent one after another; the sound of metal clashing rang out, and then a figure clad in rusted heavy armor was seen stepping out from the Void Realm, sitting calmly on the throne.

"Begin." His voice sounded like countless weapons clashing and playing together; a desire for slaughter arose in the hearts of the many anomalies... Even though they each had their own strengths in mental techniques, in front of this master of the Soldier Soul Profound Realm, they seemed to have no ability to resist!

"My Lord, the current production of Yin Profound Crystals is..." "My Lord! This is the Soul produced in this cycle in Withered Eye City, as well as the collected Mental Energy!" The mass of mist floated to the front, cutting off the words of the anomaly that was reporting;

The mist surged, condensing into a pair of arms, holding up two crystals.

"Meng Yue... you are lacking in manners." The sound of weapons colliding rang out, the tone seemingly unchanged; "My Lord! There are Sixth Realm members of the Human Race causing trouble in Withered Eye City; subordinates have already asked me for help... I need to return immediately."

"In that case, go." Meng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and the mist immediately surged away; the Lord's deterrence was strong, but he was always relatively considerate of them, which was also the reason Meng Yue dared to do this.

Traveling rapidly all the way, like black clouds covering the sky; from far away, Meng Yue perceived that at the location of Withered Eye City, there existed an aura that even made him feel a bit of fear!

What was going on? Wasn't it said that those causing trouble were just a few Sixth Realm members of the Human Race? The silver-brilliant mist dispersed, gradually merging into the world; Meng Yue approached, and a blood-red sky entered his field of vision.

Upon perceiving the situation in Withered Eye City, he was almost angered to the point of laughter, becoming furiously angry! One anomaly after another, one native inhabitant after another were being refined, and as the blood-colored chains surged, the purest life origin and Soul Origin extracted were being infused into the bodies of the few people suspended in mid-air;

Their auras were rapidly strengthening, while the life auras in the city were vanishing in batches... These members of the Human Race... were they eating a buffet here?!

If all the living beings and anomalies in Withered Eye City were wiped out, it would lead to him being punished by the Lord, but this was still a minor matter; more importantly, where would his food come from in the future? But that blood-colored Formation made him feel wary, and he dared not go in...

Meng Yue finally noticed Chu Yuan in the Formation, that figure who looked no different from other members of the Human Race, yet radiated a fatal attraction to him! Every wisp of mist that made up his body was boiling, trembling, and urging him to eat that member of the Human Race!

Meng Yue had an even stronger intuition; if he could eat this member of the Human Race, the door to the Eighth Realm would open for him! Recalling the time he waited in the hall earlier, when those of his own kind were discussing which clan's Souls were the most delicious, Meng Yue felt that he had found the answer...

In almost a very short amount of time, he had thrown Withered Eye City to the back of his mind...

"Chu Yuan, I can't eat anymore..." "Hmm." Chu Yuan nodded, and one after another, Blood Pills and spirit nurturing pills fell into his hands like raindrops;

Everyone in the field was filled with abundant life origin, their faces flushed red, feeling that their energy had nowhere to be vented... Even Jiang Fei and Miao Xiuxiu benefited.

"Should we leave?" Yuan Yang asked; Chu Yuan glanced outside the Formation, where a wisp of silver-gray mist was slowly floating by. He sighed inwardly, the time delayed was still too long...

"You all go first, I have had an epiphany and need to Cultivate immediately!" Yuan Yang said in astonishment: "Now!? Are you crazy?"
