After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 569 Mountain

At this moment, Fu Wennian and Xu Youan, who were struggling to maintain the massive formation, had no idea what was happening to Jiang Junze and Jiang Liqian above the clouds. They only felt that the humanoid green worm was struggling more and more fiercely, and the chains extending from the formation had begun to break one by one. They did their best to maintain the operation of the formation, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads. With each breath, they could feel the demonic energy invading their meridians.

Jiang Liqian, who had just entered the cavern of intertwined green worms and flesh, did not hesitate for a moment. The Shitian Sword in her hand was like a divine weapon descending, turning everything in its path into gray shadows.

Even the towering green caterpillars had to make way for her.

The Spirit-Suppressing Pearl, radiating a deep blue light, formed a protective shield for her, illuminating the path ahead.

Bloodshed and thunder lit up the road.

Finally, she reached the very bottom, buried beneath the humanoid green worm—Jiang Liqian couldn't quite describe what she saw. In the hazy light illuminated by the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl, a small hillside of flesh and blood lay layered upon layer, like dough being kneaded together. It was impossible to tell whether there were bones or human flesh inside, or whether one end was a head and the other a pair of feet. All she knew was that the arm on this side and the one closest to it were not the same pair of hands.

Jiang Liqian only glanced at the bloody mountain of human flesh before her stomach churned, and she vomited up bile the next second.

She suffered a near-devastating impact, both physically and mentally, encompassing all five senses and spirit.

Such a bloody and terrifying scene stimulated her retina without warning. Jiang Liqian felt the dim world suddenly turn upside down in her eyes, and her legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand up.

What's even more disgusting is that this "mountain of human flesh" is not still; it's like a heart, beating and breathing, greedily absorbing everything around it—demonic energy, monster energy, spiritual energy... all the energy of heaven and earth becomes its nourishment.

Jiang Liqian didn't dare to think about whether the "mountain of human flesh" in front of her was a product of the missing villagers' lives. She mechanically rushed towards it, but as she got closer, she gradually slowed down, feeling lost and helpless.

Her mind went blank; at this moment, she was no longer able to think normally in the face of such a "horrific" situation.

Just then, she suddenly saw a vaguely visible arm on the "mountain top" that was still waving and struggling to climb out of the "mountain of human flesh".

Without a second thought, she rushed over as if grasping at a straw, and at the last moment threw herself onto the "hillside." She put Shi Tianjian aside and grabbed the still warm hand with both of hers.

"I will save you, don't give up, I will save you!" Her eyes reddened, and she shouted in a hoarse voice, trying to convey her voice to the survivor and tell him not to give up, that someone was coming, that someone was coming to save him!

To Jiang Liqian's despair, all she could do, with all her might, was pull out an arm that hadn't yet been digested by the "mountain of human flesh."

There are no living people.

There wasn't even a complete corpse.

She grabbed the still-warm arm and suddenly felt like bursting into tears.

The lives of everyone in the village—men, women, the elderly, children, newborn babies—were all dead, right before her eyes, and she couldn't do anything to save them.

She had never felt so powerless, never felt so sad; her stomach was cramping, and her soul was shattering.

But reality gave her no chance to breathe. Before she could even feel sad and angry, the seemingly living "mountain of human flesh" suddenly began to tremble violently. At the same time, the intertwined humanoid green worms around her also began to stir inexplicably. Jiang Liqian had just grabbed the Shitian Sword and jumped off the "mountain of human flesh" when, with a "bang," the hillside exploded from bottom to top, and large pieces of flesh fell down like "bloody snowflakes."

A nauseating, bloody smell erupted instantly.

Jiang Liqian could not bear it any longer. She clutched her stomach, trying to vomit, but could only dry heave and could not vomit anything.

On the blasted hilltop, a piece of warm white jade pendant covered with fine, dense blood-red lines emitted a sacred light, illuminating this dark world.

When the humanoid green worm came into contact with this divine light, it suddenly went berserk, and countless bodily fluids flowed continuously from all parts of its body, flooding the ground in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Liqian had no choice but to fly into the air on her sword, watching helplessly as the villagers' corpses on the ground were covered by the liquid of the humanoid green worms and finally disappeared completely.

At the height of the caterpillars' rampage, they suddenly fell silent, and then a few "plop plop plop" sounds were heard, as if something had cracked open.

Jiang Liqian looked up toward the source of the loudest sound and saw a huge green worm with a large gash split open in the middle of its abdomen. The gash grew larger and larger until it suddenly burst open, from which a giant humanoid moth struggled to fly out.

Disgusting slime slid down the moth's wings, burning holes in its cracked green skin.

One by one, the ten green caterpillars shed their caterpillar skins and transformed into humanoid moths, howling as they soared into the sky. All the injuries they had sustained under Jiang Liqian and Jiang Junze's swords had vanished, as if they had been reborn.

Fu Wennian and Xu Youan, who were using all their strength to maintain the formation, were suddenly thrown back by the formation's backlash. The chains extending from the formation broke in an instant, turning into scattered points of light.

All they saw was a giant moth fluttering its ugly wings and flying into the sky, its outstretched wings completely blocking out the sunlight.

However, what they saw was not darkness, but rather a dazzling and wondrous light.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the two immediately looked towards the center of the light and saw a lustrous and translucent jade disc floating quietly in mid-air. Extremely fine red threads were wrapped around the jade disc, as if they were living blood vessels with a heartbeat.

"Could it be... the Blood God Jade?" Jiang Junze was surprised for a moment, and his mind was completely focused on finding Jiang Liqian. When he saw the blood on her from afar, he was so frightened that his hands were shaking. He rushed to her side as fast as he could, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.

However, in the next second, his abdomen was pierced by a sharp claw.

He suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

The Lingxu Sword trembled and hummed.

Before Jiang Liqian could recover from the shock of the green caterpillar turning into a moth and the white jade emerging from the mountain of corpses, she saw Jiang Junze stagger and fall down right in front of her.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and his body went completely cold.

"No...don't die..." she murmured blankly, large patches of blood appearing in her eyes.

So many people have already died.
