"Also, many people think that what's hidden inside the Blood-Demanding Killing Formation is some kind of supreme treasure, but that's not the case at all. What's sealed inside are fierce beasts — ancient fierce beasts," Xian Miaomiao said.
"Ancient fierce beasts? Are you telling the truth?" Chu Feng asked.
"I am. That's why my Ancient Elves have always had a worry — that if the Blood-Demanding Killing Formation weakens, it won't be able to hold those ancient fierce beasts. Once they break free from the seal, it will be a catastrophe for the Martial Sacred Continent."
"Because those fierce beasts are like the ones on the Martial Sacred Continent — they have no intelligence, only a heart for slaughter. They're addicted to blood. But the only difference is that ancient fierce beasts are extraordinarily powerful, incomparable to the fierce beasts of today," Xian Miaomiao said.
"Then by that logic, is the Martial Sacred Continent destined for a catastrophe?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, the Martial Sacred Continent is destined for catastrophe. But I'm actually looking forward to that day," Xian Miaomiao said.
"Why?" Chu Feng asked, frowning in puzzlement.
"Think about it — hunting ancient fierce beasts. Wouldn't that be fun?" Xian Miaomiao said.
"You girl. If those ancient fierce beasts appear, how many innocent lives will be lost?" Chu Feng said.
"That's where you're wrong. Those guys are weak — so what? Does being weak give them some kind of right?"
"The world of martial cultivation has always been survival of the fittest. Even without fierce beasts to slaughter them, the weak still get trampled on by their own kind," Xian Miaomiao said.
At this, Chu Feng didn't argue back. What Miaomiao said was indeed reasonable. People killing people happened in the Martial Sacred Continent practically every day.
"Alright, I was just joking with you."
"Don't worry. Since my Ancient Elves know about this, we've naturally been prepared for a long time."
"Actually, there have always been Ancient Elves standing guard outside the ancient killing formation. If the ancient fierce beasts break free, my Ancient Elves will immediately surround and kill them," Xian Miaomiao said.
"But ancient fierce beasts sealed here — will they really be that easy to deal with?" Chu Feng asked.
"We have our methods. Don't worry," Xian Miaomiao said.
"Alright." Chu Feng smiled faintly. Hearing Xian Miaomiao's words, he truly did feel more at ease.
Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao walked onward, chatting and laughing. It wasn't that the Blood-Demanding Killing Formation was merely superficial and not dangerous.
It was simply that Chu Feng's powers of observation were too sharp. None of the traps here could stump him. Moreover, Chu Feng had also discovered that although Xian Miaomiao's world spirit techniques weren't particularly strong, her sensory abilities were remarkable. Every danger he could detect, she could detect as well.
So, even without Chu Feng present, none of the traps here would likely have harmed Xian Miaomiao.
But the strangest thing was this: many people had clearly died here. Setting aside those from before the ancient era, the number who had perished after the ancient era was likely innumerable. Yet as they walked, the two of them found not a single corpse. After Chu Feng's deduction, this too was related to the Blood-Demanding Killing Formation's design. It was a formation that killed without leaving bones behind — a true killing formation.
After some more traveling, Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao finally arrived at the central area of the ancient killing formation.
It was a vast formation — one that could be discerned with the naked eye. The formation rose high into the clouds, resembling a fortress yet not quite a fortress. In any case, it was enormous, and there should be entrances on all sides.
What surprised Chu Feng the most was that when he stood outside, peering inward through the wind-vented entrances, he discovered that the innermost depths of the Blood-Demanding Killing Formation — its most dangerous part — looked completely different from the outer perimeter.
