Hearing Senior Brother's words, it meant that Beiming Valley could also be reached from other places.
"Junior Sister, are you going to Beiming Valley?" Leng Xingzhi saw that Chu Lingwei had been silent, turned his head, and smiled, "Who was so eager to go to the outskirts of the city to see the swamp snakes just now? Now you've changed your mind?"
"No, it's that someone I know asked me to save him." Chu Lingwei did not hide anything. She was not a person who was overly sympathetic, but if she could form a good karma, as long as it was within her ability, she still wanted to do it.
She had only met Lei Tao twice, and he had given her a good impression.
"I didn't expect Junior Sister to have friends so quickly." Leng Xingzhi withdrew his gaze and looked at the increasing number of cultivators ahead. "If Junior Sister wants to go to Beiming Valley now, it might be difficult. The swamp snakes are getting more and more numerous."
Chu Lingwei had already sensed a strong smell of snake as if Senior Brother hadn't told her.
The two quickly exited the gate of Wangtian City. Many cultivators were gathered at the gate, standing in twos and threes, discussing the swamp snakes ahead.
Not far away, the sound of spiritual power and its destructive force could be heard, with people fighting the swamp snakes ahead.
"It's a two-day journey from here to the swamp. Such a long distance, and the swamp snakes can reach Wangtian City. This shows how many swamp snakes have been born and grown." This time, Leng Xingzhi transmitted his voice.
Chu Lingwei pondered inwardly, what Senior Brother mentioned about being born and grown.
This word was simply ominous.
"Senior Brother, do you mean there is a mother snake in the swamp, and it is constantly laying eggs?" Chu Lingwei thought this was probably what he meant.
"It should be, otherwise, these swamp snakes couldn't have increased so much." Leng Xingzhi neither confirmed nor denied.
"Doesn't Wangtian City care?" So many swamp snakes were not something that one or two strong individuals could resolve. If this situation continued to develop, Wangtian City would be in danger.
Leng Xingzhi smiled faintly. Wangtian City was originally just a small town. It grew larger because of the appearance of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and eventually became the city of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
Now the high-level officials of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance were all preoccupied with their own affairs, so how could they have the time to manage this?
"They probably will care."
Chu Lingwei: "..." Senior Brother was too indifferent this time.
"Senior Brother, what should we do now? Kill the swamp snakes here?" Chu Lingwei threw the question to Senior Brother. According to Senior Brother's words, it would take a lot of time to eradicate these swamp snakes.
Moreover, with so many cultivators here, her absence would not make any difference.
If that were the case, she would rather go to Beiming Valley and perhaps save Lei Tao and the others.
"Wait."
Leng Xingzhi would not take the lead for Wangtian City. The leaders of the major sects in Wangtian City had not come forward, all with the same idea as Leng Xingzhi.
As long as the Rogue Cultivator Alliance did not give them a reasonable explanation, they would not offer help.
"Senior Brother, can I go to Beiming Valley then?" Chu Lingwei asked uncertainly. She was sure that Senior Brother would agree, but she wanted to know if Senior Brother would accompany her.
"I'll take you there." Leng Xingzhi sighed. His junior sister wanted to do something, and he had to ensure her safety.
Chu Lingwei smiled, "Senior Brother is so kind."
"Let's go."
Leng Xingzhi summoned his flying artifact, took Chu Lingwei onto it, and in front of all the cultivators, flew towards Beiming Valley.
In the past two days, cultivators had been constantly taking flying artifacts to check the situation in the swamp. They were used to it and paid no attention.
"Why so many?"
Leng Xingzhi's flying artifact, though not as fast as their master's, was much faster than Chu Lingwei's artifact. In less than an hour, they were close to the outer perimeter of the swamp.
Chu Lingwei looked at the dense mass of swamp snakes below, and a shiver ran down her spine. "It's simply too..."
"Junior Sister, have you noticed that their targets are all the same?" Leng Xingzhi looked at the swamp snakes below, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. It seemed that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had done many unpleasant things over the years.
"Yes, they are all heading towards Wangtian City." Chu Lingwei had already seen the problem. The swamp was vast, and apart from being surrounded by mountains on one side, it opened to different directions on the other three sides.
However, all these swamp snakes were heading in one direction, which was Wangtian City.
"Are they targeting the Rogue Cultivator Alliance?" Chu Lingwei looked at Senior Brother. Although she hadn't been in this world for long and wasn't very familiar with the power struggles between sects, she was sure that some sects, for their own selfish interests, would do things that were detrimental to themselves and others.
Like the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, their people colluded with ghost cultivators and massacred so many cultivators, yet they still wanted to protect the lives of those people.
They dared to do this, either because they had backing or because they had a secret objective.
"Clever."
Leng Xingzhi withdrew his gaze, sat down on the artifact, and seeing the mountain range ahead, said, "Junior Sister, you can reach Beiming Valley after passing through this mountain range."
"Senior Brother, aren't you coming with me?" Chu Lingwei had always thought that Senior Brother would go with her.
"No, I'll wait for you here."
Chu Lingwei: "..." So Senior Brother was just sending her off.
"Alright then, I'll go alone." Chu Lingwei summoned her flying artifact, brought her two small beasts, and quickly headed towards Beiming Valley.
"That should be Beiming Valley."
Beiming Valley was more like a dense forest, with only a small entrance, resembling a small valley, hence its name.
"Weiwei, we don't know where they are? How should we search?" Feng Ming sat on the flying artifact, frowning. "There are swamp snakes here too."
"It's close to the swamp, it's inevitable that a few will wander over." Chu Lingwei tried to send a transmission talisman to Lei Tao, but there was no response.
"Could something have happened to them?" Feng Ming couldn't help but say, seeing that Weiwei had sent three transmission talismans to Lei Tao and the others without any reply.
Chu Lingwei was also worried that this might be the case. She let Phantom Cat go ahead to scout while she searched for places where Lei Tao and the others might have gone.
At the bottom of a valley.
Lei Tao and his group lay powerlessly on the ground, their eyes filled with despair.
"Brother Lei, are we going to die here?" Shi Tou's eyes were red. He tried to prop himself up, but he had no strength.
They had been trapped here for three days, their spiritual power had disappeared, and their strength had vanished with it. Now, they could only speak, and could not even move.
"Don't talk nonsense, I will find a way out." Lei Tao interrupted Shi Tou's words and turned his head, seeing that most of his companions had their eyes closed and were silent, which made him feel extremely guilty.
