When Jiang Wen saw Hongluan again, even he was surprised. After all, after she left, he didn't think he would ever see these two people again. He never expected to meet her in this scarlet land plagued by disaster, which was truly surprising.
Seeing the girl's disheveled appearance, Jiang Wen took out a piece of clothing from his storage bag and threw it to her.
"Put it on, it looks like you've been here for quite a while."
Hongluan subconsciously took the clothes, looked at them in her hand, and then looked at Jiang Wen, her expression showing a bit of surprise and a hint of vigilance.
"Why are you here? This place is very strange, you must be careful."
Hongluan put on the clothes, brushed off the dust, and asked.
"I'm here to save people and also to see the situation in the Northern Three Prefectures. I didn't expect it to be so serious. This scarlet substance has spread throughout the Three Prefectures. If the Ding Prefecture border hadn't been protected by an array, I'm afraid it would have suffered disaster as well."
Jiang Wen sighed, he had seen too many tragic situations on his way through Cang Prefecture. Countless corpses were scattered everywhere, and all life seemed to have turned into nourishment for the scarlet substance. Everywhere he looked was a vast expanse of red land.
Ming Prefecture, which was originally only plagued by drought, why could it become so tragic now? Jiang Wen didn't believe that no one had interfered.
His first thought was the God Worship Society. After all, those people gave him too much of a villainous impression. However, the Red Bite of the God Worship Society had already taken them too much effort and even affected the present world. He didn't know how many characters like Red Bite, or even more troublesome people, were in the God Worship Society.
As for the Righteous God Path, although they had the intention to rebel, Jiang Wen didn't think they would cause such a big commotion. After all, the Righteous God Path still belonged to the Hundred Schools of Immortal Cultivation. If they really committed such inhumane acts, they would probably have been jointly attacked by the Immortal Sects long ago. In terms of both reason and emotion, the Righteous God Path would not be so reckless. They would only secretly carry out clever instigation plans and accumulate the power to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty.
After thinking it over and over, Jiang Wen still gave up his speculation about the truth. In the end, the information he had obtained was too little, and no matter how he speculated, he couldn't reach the edge of the truth.
"Save people? Are there still living people here?" Hongluan tidied up her appearance and conjured a ball of water to wash her face clean. She tied up her disheveled long hair and stretched her enchanting figure. Although she looked a bit disheveled and embarrassed, her battle-worn appearance couldn't hide her heroic spirit.
Carrying her twin curved blades, Hongluan walked a few steps to Jiang Wen.
"I can't see through your cultivation anymore."
Hongluan sighed. "I thought my cultivation was fast enough these days, but I never expected you to be even more shocking. I have never seen such a monstrous person like you. Presumably, fellow Daoist has already reached the Perfected Fate Fire Realm, right?"
"Sort of."
Jiang Wen listened to her words and only replied with a smile. He didn't want to discourage the girl's fighting spirit. After all, they had only been separated for a few months, and he had already glimpsed the Sendai Realm.
"Do you have any pills or food? I've been here for six days, and there's nothing left in my storage bag."
Hongluan touched her stomach and looked at Jiang Wen with some embarrassment.
After talking with Jiang Wen, their relationship improved, and Hongluan relaxed a lot. The vigilance in her eyes receded, and she looked at Jiang Wen with a bit more trust.
"I have everything. Why don't we find a secluded place to rest? This place is really a bit strange, and I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."
"Alright."
Hongluan quickly agreed.
The two of them left the land of meat mountains and bone forests and flew towards the distant plains.
Just after the two of them left, a strong wind gradually rose in the mountains and forests. Accompanied by the sound of sobbing, a light red mist gradually enveloped the entire valley.
In this mist, the rustling sound of crawling on the ground came from far and near. It was as if countless tentacles were climbing along the ground, gradually reaching the place where Jiang Wen had beheaded the Bone Scorpion.
The fog became thicker and thicker.
Vaguely, countless pairs of scarlet, gleaming eyes looked towards the place where Jiang Wen and Hongluan had left.
"… …"
The scarlet land was still silent, only the magnificent and huge light tree still emitted light.
Compared to yesterday, the light tree seemed to be even bigger.
Jiang Wen didn't know what happened after he left. He and Hongluan found a farmhouse on the plain.
The items in the house were neatly arranged, and the furniture and other things had not been damaged. It could be seen that the owner of the house had left with his family very early and had not been affected by the disaster.
After cleaning up the scarlet threads in the house, Jiang Wen placed gathering spirit and exorcism talismans in all directions. This was to prevent the scarlet substance from invading the house again, or even rotting the food he had taken out.
Hongluan looked at this versatile talisman technique and said with admiration, "Fellow Daoist Jiang's Taoist methods are really useful. They can be used for various purposes no matter where you go."
"Is that so? Do you want to learn it?"
Hongluan still had self-awareness. Hongluan pinched the healing pill Jiang Wen handed over, took it, and sat down to adjust her breathing. Her mana was exhausted, and the forced use of the Evil Slaying Art before had damaged her meridians, and the power of erosion had stained her body. At this moment, she needed to restore her mana and expel the pollution from her body.
Jiang Wen threw a few pieces of firewood into the fireplace and lit the firewood with a fire talisman. He put the meat from the storage bag on the grill, adding seasonings and roasting it. Hongluan's words reached his ears, and he said casually, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Wh-what?"
Hongluan, who was adjusting her breathing and meditating, trembled her mana and almost suffered a backlash from her own mana. She opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Wen in shock, thinking that she had misheard what he had just said.
"Do you want to learn it? I can teach you this Taoist method."
Jiang Wen said with a smile.
The grilled meat on the stove emitted a meaty aroma, coupled with the mixture of cumin and chili powder, which couldn't help but arouse people's appetite.
Hongluan swallowed her saliva and stared at Jiang Wen with her beautiful big eyes. After hesitating again and again, she carefully asked, "You, are you really willing to teach me?"
"Of course."
Jiang Wen nodded. "This talisman method was originally created by me, it's not a secret technique of my sect. If you want to learn it, of course I won't refuse."
"But, but... how can such a magical Taoist method be casually passed on to outsiders, especially since I am a disciple of the Myriad Worlds Sect..."
"What's wrong with being a disciple of the Myriad Worlds Sect?"
Jiang Wen asked.
"Don't you know?"
"Should I know?"
"..."
Hongluan tightened her clothes, looked at the fire in the fireplace, remained silent for a while, and then said slowly. "Although the Myriad Worlds Sect is considered a large sect among the Hundred Schools of Immortal Cultivation, its founder is a great demon. In the cultivation world, the Myriad Worlds Sect teaches without discrimination, which is a real anomaly, and its actions violate humanity. If the Sect Master of the Myriad Worlds Sect hadn't sworn an oath that any disciple of the Myriad Worlds Sect who betrayed humanity would suffer the pain of the Three Disasters and Six Tribulations, the Myriad Worlds Sect would have been reduced to ashes under the siege of the Hundred Schools of Immortal Cultivation long ago."
"You should understand this, the Myriad Worlds Sect is not welcome in the cultivation world. I have never heard of any Immortal Sect willing to pass on their secret techniques to the Myriad Worlds Sect."
Hongluan finished speaking and waited for Jiang Wen's voice. She lowered her head and thought about some things, and her expression couldn't help but darken. After all, she was an immortal cultivator, and no one wanted to deal with disciples of a sect whose founder was a demon.
"What does that matter? If you want to learn, I will teach you."
Jiang Wen's words were like the sun breaking through the dark clouds, making Hongluan feel lost at this moment.
