Everyone present at the scene had different opinions on where to go. However, their debate did not last long.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roar came from the north. At the same time, a faint light accompanied by blue flames rose in the sky. The sky soon turned as gloomy as it could be.
"This is... The vision of heaven and earth, a natural treasure must have been born in that direction!"
"Come on, let's go there!"
The greed in everyone's heart was magnified several times at this moment. Unable to control their greedy heart, people started shuttling through the mountains and forests.
However, what none of them noticed was that the gloomy sky was actually getting closer and closer.
"Wait, did you hear anything?" At this moment, a bald man stopped in his track and heard something.
However, none of the people stopped and continued to rush in that direction.
At some distance from these people, what appeared and caused the previous phenomenon was not the appearance of any treasure but groups of huge skeletons.
The skeletons were moving forward. Their eyes are burning blue. There were thousands of these skeletons and they were all rushing together which caused the previous blue light to appear.
What they had just seen from a long distance was this blue light.
"This...? What is this?"

Even though the skeletons were still a few thousand meters away, the gloomy sky burned with blue flames for some reason. Well, the blue flames in the sky were not the flames in the eyes of the skeletons, they were something else.
The next instant, it started raining drop by drop. The drops of this rain had a trace of scarlet. This was not pure rainwater, instead, it was rainwater mixed with blood.
"Run! Run away!" Everyone stopped in their tracks. One of them was so frightened that he turned and immediately started running away. Other people also reacted quickly. At that moment, they also did not dare to stay behind. Everyone started running away at their full speed.
The army of skeletons was like ghosts crawling out of hell. No one dares to get near them or attack them.
"Everyone, hurry up. Those skeletons are very fast. They are going to catch up with us." Another cultivator anxiously shouted in a loud voice while running at full speed. He wanted to fly away, but he had a feeling if he dared to fly in the sky, he'll immediately be killed. So, he didn't dare to fly.
Everyone was sweating now. Among this group of people, there was a person who has a compass in his hand. At this time, the pointer of the compass was spinning around wildly, and no one can tell where the needle in the compass was going to point.
This compass was a treasure. This person relied on this treasure to escape from many dangerous situations, however, this compass was proving useless in the current situation.
Suddenly, at this moment, a thick fog suddenly drifted out of the forest. The fog swallowed up all the trees in the mountains, and no one could see what was happening.
Under the current situation, the group of people didn't know what to do. They soon split in two and fled in two different directions with hope in their hearts that the skeletons might only chase after one of them.
Under the fog, an old man at the Peak Martial Saint Realm walked cautiously. He was cautious to the point where after taking every step, he would stop for some time before stepping forward again.
"Strange, strange! How can we come across such a strange place like this." This person was the person with the compass.
"Why can't my compass tell me the right direction to escape?" This person's name was Lao Dao. He suddenly spurts blood at the compass. Blood splashed on the compass, and immediately, the original crazy rotation of the pointer in the compass stabilized and stopped rotating. Then it pointed straight in a direction.
That direction was exactly where Ye Xiao dug the cave.
"I can be saved if I go there!" Lao Dao was surprised and immediately become excited. He even forgot that he had seen Ye Xiao going there and that he was also one of those people mocking him previously.
Just as he wanted to rush in that direction, he heard a loud sound coming from behind.
Lao Dao was surprised and turned his head, only to see an endless army of skeletons. These skeletons were holding flagpoles. On the flagpoles, several heads were hanging. Lao Dao recognized some of the heads hanging on the pole. Those heads belong to the group of people who escaped in a different direction and he was separated from them at that time because he was focused on looking at his treasured compass.
"I'm f*cked!" Lao Tao muttered in a low voice. Then he immediately circulated his spirit energy and the next instant, many strands of thunder appeared on his palm. Then he smashed his palm at those skeletons, forcing them to stagger and fall behind.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he ran at full speed and left. He didn't even dare to look back.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(v)elFire.net
"You there... Can you do me a favor?" As Lao Dao was escaping, he heard a woman's voice calling him out.
Hearing this woman's voice, Lao Dao's whole hair stood on end, and his heart was creeping. He had a feeling that this woman is extremely dangerous and he should not get involved with this woman.
"Get out of here!"
Lao Dao roared and waved his hand. A golden talisman appeared in his hand that he threw directly behind him, without looking.
As soon as the golden talisman was thrown into the air, it immediately began to burn, and in an instant burst out endless golden light, sweeping around.
Lao Dao didn't dare to even look behind. He ran in the direction the compass was pointing.
"Don't go, don't go..."
The faint voice of the woman came out from behind him again, but this time, he could not locate where the voice came from. This time, the voice echoed from every direction.
"What the hell!" Lao Dao trembled in fear. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he has already fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Lao Dao saw a hand coming out from the ground. The next moment, a head full of red hair emerged. Then the rest of the body came out from the ground.
Lao Dao could now clearly see the newcomer. It was a redhead woman. The moment this woman came out from the ground, several skeletons surrounded her.
The woman was dressed in white, her red hair as bright as blood. Her eyes were closed but it seemed as if the woman could still see everything clearly even with her eyes closed.
Lao Dao trembled when he saw this woman. For some reason, he felt like he was facing a humongous monster who can kill him with a simple flick of her fingers.
"Thunder Sky Attack!" Lao Dao knew he has to take action, otherwise, his death is certain. He suddenly pointed at the sky.
At this moment, his entire body was surrounded by a strange aura. The sky rumbled and a snake-like beam of lightning fell from the sky that he caught in his hand. At this time, Lao Dao was like a god who could control the lightning as he wishes.
The woman suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Lao Dao, saying in an eerie voice, "Can you do me a favor?"
"Evil thing, die!"
Lao Dao held the sky thunder in his hand and smashed it at the red-haired woman. However, before he could really attack, he suddenly felt a blur in front of his head. Then he felt like flying but also felt as if there was no weight on his body.
He subconsciously lowered his head, only to see a headless body standing while still in the action of attacking with Sky Thunder that had started dissipating because of losing its source. Then he felt that the headless body was somewhat familiar.
'Isn't that... My body?'
Thus was his last thought before his head fell to the ground and he took his last breath.
It was also the time when blood finally gushed out from the headless body as well as the bodiless head.
.....
_Inside The Cave_
When Lao Dao died, Ye Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, the dark cave lights up in an instant, and there are countless lights burning.
The boulder outside the cave was smashed in an instant. With a loud noise, the red-haired woman appeared outside the cave immediately.
From the moment Lao Dao died to the moment the red-haired woman appeared outside the cave, only two seconds have passed. It could be seen how ridiculously powerful this red-haired woman actually was.
