Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

Nangong Xuan briefly recounted how they had escaped the Void Realm, fallen into the Cangmu Realm, and been saved by the Green Wood Clan.

After Su Muxue finished listening, she immediately stood up and gave a solemn salute to Qing Zhi. ”Thank you for saving my life, Miss Qing Zhi.”

Qing Zhi hastily jumped up and waved her hands. ”Oh, no need to thank me, no need. It was the sacred spring that saved you; I just led the way!”

Su Muxue looked at Nangong Xuan again. ”The pursuers from the Tiangong Sect...”

”They shouldn’t be able to track us to this realm for the time being,” Nangong Xuan said in a deep voice. ”However, we seem to have become involved in the local conflicts here.” He informed Su Muxue about the threat from the Black Fiend Forest and the Earth Fire Fortress.

Hearing this, Su Muxue’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of chill flashed in her cool gaze. ”Another group of such wretched monsters; there is no peace to be found anywhere.”

Having just broken through, her spirit was full and her energy sufficient. Her Taiyin Star Power was at its Peak, and her Perception had become exceptionally keen. She suddenly turned her head, looking towards the eastern side of the valley—the direction where Teng Shan had previously mentioned finding traces of the Black Fiend Forest.

”Over there... there’s such a dense aura of filth and death, and it’s still spreading...” She raised her slender hand, and a wisp of extremely yin and cold Taiyin Star Power gathered at her fingertips. Tiny ice crystals immediately condensed in the air. ”And... there’s also an extremely subtle spatial fluctuation mixed in... very strange, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary pollution Formation.”

Hearing this, Nangong Xuan’s expression turned solemn. The Taiyin Star Power Su Muxue cultivated was most sensitive to negative energy and spatial fluctuations; her judgment was very likely close to the truth.

”Spatial fluctuations?” Nangong Xuan immediately associated this with the unstable heavenly rift scar they had come through. ”Could the goal of the Black Fiend Forest not be simply to pollute the forest, but to... stabilize or even expand the heavenly rift scar?”

This speculation made his heart shake. If the heavenly rift scar was expanded or even stably controlled, the Black Fiend Forest could continuously summon reinforcements from the outside world (likely their home base), or even draw in even more terrifying existences! At that time, the entire Qinglin Forest and even the Cangmu Realm would face a catastrophe!

This news must be told to Elder Qing Lin immediately!

Just then, the Green Wood Clan warrior who had left to report earlier came running back in a hurry. His face was even more unsightly than before, even carrying a trace of terror. ”Miss Qing Zhi! Young Master Nangong! This is bad! The Grand Elder, Captain Teng Shan, and the others... they’ve been trapped by a Formation from the Black Fiend Forest! That Formation is extremely wicked; it can devour life spiritual energy, and our people can’t get close at all!”

”What?!” Qing Zhi stood up abruptly, her small face turning pale. ”Grandpa...”

Nangong Xuan, Su Muxue, and Zi Linger looked at each other and made a decision in an instant.

”Take us there!” Nangong Xuan said in a deep voice. Whether out of sentiment or reason, they could not just sit by and watch.

”But... it’s very dangerous there...” The warrior hesitated.

”It’s fine, we might have a way,” Su Muxue spoke coolly, the Taiyin Star Power at her fingertips becoming increasingly icy.

Looking at Nangong Xuan, whose aura was unfathomable, and Su Muxue, who had just awakened but possessed an astonishing pressure, the warrior gritted his teeth. ”Fine! Everyone, please follow me!”

Led by the warrior, the group quickly left the valley and sped towards the eastern edge of the forest. Qing Zhi also followed without hesitation.

The further east they went, the thinner the fresh fragrance of vegetation became, replaced by a nauseating stench of rot mixed with sulfur. The surrounding trees also began to grow sparse, their leaves yellowed and curled, and large patches of moss and flowers on the ground withered and turned black.

After traveling a bit further, intense energy fluctuations and the sounds of shouting and fighting came from ahead.
