Chapter 2565 - 2255: Is the Border Wilderness Truly Safe?

Under the Eternal Night, a dozen carriages were swiftly heading towards the Border Wilderness.

Behind the carriages stretched an endless Deceit Tide.

On the roof of one of the carriages stood two women in Qingyi.

The two women looked extremely similar, their appearances stunning, figures full and voluptuous. They each held a Longsword in their hands, guarding against any sudden attack from the mysterious.

Staring at the endless Deceit Tide in the distance, Liu Qingqiu said worriedly, "Sister, is the Border Wilderness really safe?"

Upon hearing Liu Qingqiu’s words, Liu Qingyun furrowed her brows and said, "I’m not sure either, but according to the information we have, the Border Wilderness is safer than the Central State. Perhaps it’s because the Border Wilderness has no powerful Spirit Martial Artists, and those mysterious entities have no interest in humans there."

The Liu Family was originally a prominent family in a certain Mortal City, with many Spirit Martial Artists among them, even several at the King Realm.

In the Mortal City, they could act with impunity.

But since the Eternal Night descended, the city they were in suffered several waves of Deceit Tide, ultimately leading to its collapse.

Initially, they did not aim for the Border Wilderness; instead, they chose to seek refuge in some Holy Lands, but all those Holy Lands refused them.

Later, they tried heading to White Stone Immortal City, but the Formation of the White Stone Immortal City was always active, keeping outsiders out.

During their desperate escape, Liu Qingyun heard about the Border Wilderness, and there was a rumor that a powerful Saint Realm mysterious entity resided there. This Saint Realm entity had no interest in humans and even helped seal a Deceit Saint, thereby destroying a wave of Deceit Tide.

Now, the mysterious entities of the Central State know there’s a Saint Realm in the Border Wilderness, and knowing that it lacks powerful Spirit Martial Artists, they are reluctant to provoke this Saint Realm, making the Border Wilderness safer than anywhere else.

Liu Qingyun wasn’t sure whether this news was true, but under the Eternal Night, they had nowhere else to go.

Even if the news were false, they had to give it a try.

Moreover, if the news turned out to be false, the Border Wilderness, a godforsaken place without powerful Spirit Martial Artists, would naturally have no powerful mysterious entities willing to go there.

If it’s just ordinary mysterious entities, the Liu Family could still handle it; after all, they had a few Spirit Martial Artists at the King Realm.

At this moment, Liu Qingyun said to Liu Qingqiu, "Sister, you should go back into the carriage and rest; I’ll keep watch outside."

On this journey, they cleared out many mysterious entities attacking their convoy and barely rested.

Some hadn’t closed their eyes for days; although Spirit Martial Artists had abundant energy, no one could endure staying awake indefinitely.

Liu Qingqiu said, "Sister, I’m fine. We’re almost at the Border Wilderness; I’ll rest once we arrive there."

Just as Liu Qingqiu finished speaking, the Deceit Tide in the distance suddenly accelerated, and a Deceit King emerged from it, charging directly at their convoy.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyun didn’t hesitate and swung out her Longsword, releasing a Sword Evil.

The Deceit King showed no fear, swiping a claw and scattering Liu Qingyun’s Sword Evil, then transforming into a shadow to rush at Liu Qingyun.

Just as the Deceit King was about to reach Liu Qingyun, he suddenly stopped mid-air, as if terrified by something. His pupils contracted, then he quickly turned and fled.

Seeing the Deceit King flee in panic, the Liu Family members were stunned.

They thought they were about to endure a life-and-death battle, but the Deceit King ran away on his own.

What’s going on?

Could it be... a theory formed in everyone’s hearts.

At this moment, a Liu Family Elder said, "It must be the aura of that Saint Realm mysterious entity that scared off the Deceit King. The news we received was true after all."

Another Liu Family Elder said, "This is fantastic! With the protection of a Saint Realm, the Liu Family will no longer fear the Deceit Tide."

Then, an elder with white hair and a long white beard sighed and said, "How do you know the place ahead is not a dangerous place? What if that Deceit Saint intends to keep us as livestock?"

Upon hearing this elder’s words, the previously excited people fell silent, each wearing a worried expression.

Indeed, this possibility couldn’t be ruled out. After all, those not of our race have different minds. Those are mysterious entities that devour humans whole. A Deceit Saint protecting humans simply doesn’t sound reliable.

If there were no benefits, why would the Deceit Saint protect humans?

Perhaps that Deceit Saint plans to keep humans as his blood livestock.

Maybe the Deceit Saint sealed another Deceit Saint and helped fend off the Deceit Tide just to prevent other mysterious entities from seizing his blood livestock, not to truly protect humans. He’s likely no different from other mysterious entities.

At this moment, Liu Qingqiu said to Liu Qingyun, "Sister, the Great Clan Elder is right. What if that Deceit Saint is just keeping us as his blood livestock? In that case, should we still go to the Border Wilderness?"

Liu Qingyun remained silent, not responding.

She had had this suspicion from the start, but they had no choice. Most ordinary cities in the Central State had already fallen, and the Immortal Cities wouldn’t let them in, leaving them with no other option but to head to the Border Wilderness.

There was also another reason; she had a feeling that something in the Border Wilderness was drawing her.

Seeing her sister remaining silent, Liu Qingqiu sighed and said, "Is our Liu Family going to vanish in this Eternal Night?"

Liu Qingyun snapped back to reality and comforted, "Don’t overthink. Once we reach the Border Wilderness, we’ll know what’s going on."

"If things are not right, we’ll leave immediately."

"Furthermore, once we enter the Border Wilderness, everyone must quickly conceal their own aura so that others won’t detect our Realm."

"Even if that Deceit Saint protects humans to keep them as blood livestock, the blood livestock it needs should at least be Spirit Martial Artists at the King Realm."

"If we pretend to be ordinary people, it won’t be interested in us."

Upon hearing Liu Qingyun’s reasoning, everyone felt it made sense.

The Liu Family’s Spirit Martial Artists at the King Realm quickly concealed their aura, pretending to be of the Low Realm.

At this moment, a Liu Family member excitedly shouted, "Look over there! There’s firelight in the distance. We’ve reached the Border Wilderness."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the convoy looked ahead, and those inside the carriages peeked out.

In the distance was a city, its walls adorned with dozens of large fire basins, their flames illuminating the entire city wall.

The fire basins shone like suns in the night.

Liu Qingyun immediately ordered, "Speed up!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Liu Family convoy reached the city gates.

At this time, upon seeing the Liu Family convoy, a person on the city wall shouted, "Who are you?"

A Liu Family Elder stood atop the carriage, using spiritual evil to communicate, "We come from the Central State, seeking refuge in the Border Wilderness."

After hearing the Liu Family Elder, the soldiers on the wall seemed not at all surprised.

A soldier shouted loudly, "Please wait a moment; our City Lord will arrive shortly."

Observing how unbothered the Border Wilderness soldiers were by their arrival, Liu Qingqiu said, "How could these Border Desolate Natives be so calm? Could the Border Wilderness really be the Saint Realm mysterious entity’s breeding ground?"

Liu Qingyun said, "It’s very likely we’re not the only ones who came to the Border Wilderness; perhaps the people here have seen many refugees from the Central State before."
