Chapter 1497 - Path of No Return
A large-scale clash with the undead race would only slow Liu Wuxie down, and he had no time to spare.
He needed to return by the next day, as the auction would begin in three days.
The undead race surrounded Liu Wuxie and Luo Hai in tight ranks and refused to let them pass. After all, news of Liu Wuxie slaughtering countless undead during the Myriad Race Ceremony had already reached them.
"We're heading to Death Mountain," Liu Wuxie said with a frown, laying out his objective plainly. He hoped the undead would step aside and stop wasting his time.
The instant the undead heard of Death Mountain, every one of them recoiled and retreated more than a dozen steps before they finally steadied themselves.
"You want to go to Death Mountain?" the leader of the undead asked, his face trembling with fear.
"Are you going to stand in our way?" Liu Wuxie asked, genuinely surprised by how terrified the undead race looked.
"From here, walk a thousand miles ahead, and you'll see a mountain covered in black clouds. That's Death Mountain that you seek," the leader said, and the entire group immediately began to flee, as if they feared even being associated with Liu Wuxie. They vanished as quickly as they had arrived, leaving Liu Wuxie and Luo Hai staring after them in confusion.
The two had prepared themselves to fight, yet the undead had run the moment they heard Death Mountain. The reaction made no sense. Death Mountain sat on this planet and should have had ties to the undead race. Yet raw, unquestionable fear twisted across their faces just at its mention.
"Wuxie, something feels wrong. Why don't we go back? The Heavenly Dao Society is already on the right track, and in the worst scenario, we can slow our pace of development," Luo Hai said, worry thick in his voice.
If anything happened to Liu Wuxie, Luo Hai wouldn't be able to face Xu Lingxue or the Heavenly Dao Society's upper echelons.
"We're already here, and I'm even more curious to find out what's in there now," Liu Wuxie replied with a cold smirk. Even if Death Mountain hid danger, he had seen countless races in his lifetime as an Immortal Emperor. Could it truly compare to the Fleeting Cloud Celestial Realm?
