After changing his clothes, Jiang Wen walked outside. Although this cave was located in the mountains, it was not a difficult or dangerous place for Jiang Wen. With a light leap, he could jump hundreds of feet high. His toes stepped on the leaves, and with that slight force, he could leap into the distance.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Jiang Wen couldn't help but frown. This was not a place he was familiar with, but the spiritual energy here was particularly restless, like boiling water, constantly swirling around him. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the magic power in his body. Following the direction of the jungle's end, he quickly left.
"What is the purpose of the Pure Yang Jade Pearl sending me here?" Jiang Wen knew that some things would not happen for no reason, just like his arrival in the Sumeru World from the illusion of the Yu Yun Clan. Perhaps someone was plotting behind it. After all, although the Heavenly Emperor of Rewards and Punishments had made it difficult for him to leave that illusion, someone else must have schemed for him to suddenly enter the Sumeru World.
He had encountered too many strange things along the way. But the matter of Xue Changming's message talisman was not his doing, but someone else using Xue Changming's name to lure him to Buzhou Mountain. If he hadn't been determined to save Xue Changming at that time, perhaps there would have been other ways to lure him there.
"It's really a joke." Jiang Wen looked at the scenery in front of him and smiled. "Since you want to treat me like this, let me see what the final result will be."
As he thought to himself, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound in his ears. He saw streaks of lightning streaking across the sky, as if a long sword had split a path through the forest.
The lightning did not diminish, but attacked Jiang Wen.
At this moment, he stood still in mid-air. His brow furrowed slightly, and he pointed his finger at the lightning. The rumbling lightning stopped abruptly and disappeared in front of Jiang Wen. Following the traces of the lightning, he saw a ferocious beast covered in lightning attacking him.
This ferocious beast was the same as the ferocious beast Jiang Wen encountered when he first went to the ancient Taicang, both of which were beasts that could be entangled with thunder. However, this beast seemed to be more ferocious and larger. Compared to the ferocious beast back then, this beast was even more powerful.
When it saw Jiang Wen, it showed a fierce expression. The next moment, it flew towards him and opened its mouth to bite him.
"Presumptuous!" Jiang Wen scolded lightly. A wooden whip appeared in his hand and struck the beast's head. He heard the sound of bones breaking.
The beast's skull was immediately cracked open by the wooden whip, and white brain matter splattered everywhere.
Using a spell to brush away the brain matter, Jiang Wen indifferently looked at the beast that had died. Then he looked into the forest and saw a woman sitting on the ground, looking around blankly. Her belly was slightly protruding, and she looked pregnant. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked very embarrassed.
Although he didn't know why a pregnant woman would appear in this forest and be chased by ferocious monsters, Jiang Wen still slowly landed on the ground and walked towards the pregnant woman who was bandaging her wounds.
He was silent, and a breeze carried him along. It wasn't until he stood in front of the pregnant woman that she realized someone was there.
"Who!" The pregnant woman held a short sword and looked up at Jiang Wen vigilantly. When she saw his appearance, the tension in her eyes faded a lot. Her expression was slightly happy, and she opened her mouth and asked, "Are you here to save me?"
"You just drew your sword against me, but now you think I'm here to save you? Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?" Jiang Wen asked with a chuckle when he heard the pregnant woman's words. He carefully looked at the pregnant woman and found that her clothes were not like those of the Dagan people. Her dress was more simple and ancient, somewhat like the style of the Taicang period.
Moreover, the words she spoke were obscure and difficult to understand. If Jiang Wen wasn't familiar with the Taicang language, he would probably need to use some spells to help him.
"Sorry, I was just defending subconsciously." The pregnant woman heard Jiang Wen's words and completely relaxed. She put away the short sword in her hand and apologized to him. Then she pointed to herself and said. "I'm already like this, there's no way to retreat."
"I don't know why, but I think you're not a bad person."
"Do I look like a kind person?" Jiang Wen chuckled and landed on the ground, stepping on the grass. He waved his sleeve to the side, and he heard many hissing sounds, and then slender snakes went away.
In this forest full of ferocious beasts, all kinds of poisonous creatures and wild animals existed. Jiang Wen had just driven away these things, giving the pregnant woman a temporary safe environment.
"I think you should be a good person." The pregnant woman nodded.
"I'm not a good person." Jiang Wen shook his head and looked at the pregnant woman. "But I'm not a bad person either. I really want to know how you appeared here and why you are still alive."
Jiang Wen found it a bit strange that the pregnant woman could appear in this forest. After all, even if the pregnant woman was a cultivator, her strength would be greatly reduced during pregnancy. Moreover, he couldn't see any strength in the pregnant woman. The power in her body was not as good as a cultivator who had just entered the Lighting Realm.
This forest was not safe. Just the ferocious beast that could use lightning was enough to tear apart a Lighting Realm cultivator, not to mention that there were many such ferocious beasts in this forest.
In his opinion, the pregnant woman coming here alone was just courting death, unless the pregnant woman had some extraordinary ability that allowed her to live in this dangerous forest.
"I had no choice but to appear here." The pregnant woman said with a pale face. "The reason why I am still alive should be because I have the blessing of the gods. Perhaps it is also because of the sacred object of our tribe."
As the pregnant woman spoke, she took out an unremarkable stone from her bosom. The stone was only the size of a fist, but it gave people a strange feeling. Jiang Wen looked at the stone and observed it for a while, but found that he couldn't see what it was. It was ordinary, but there was something mysterious about it. According to what the pregnant woman said, this stone was the sacred object of their tribe.
"Sacred object, this thing?" Jiang Wen reached out his hand towards the stone and took the stone in his hand before the pregnant woman could react.
He felt a repulsive force from it, which seemed to have an effect on evil demons and ferocious beasts.
After returning the stone to the pregnant woman, Jiang Wen asked again, "Where did you come from?"
"I am the Holy Maiden of the Luo Ren Tribe. My tribe suffered a disaster and fled. I am preparing to go to the Holy City to meet the Holy King." The pregnant woman's face was filled with a trace of sadness. Although the words she spoke were shallow, they made Jiang Wen aware of her experience.
"Luo Ren Tribe?" Jiang Wen frowned. This familiar title gave him a premonition. Perhaps the place he had come to would be very familiar.
Jiang Wen pondered in his heart, his eyes looking at the pregnant woman lying on the ground. He just waved his sleeve, and a breeze brushed over the pregnant woman's wound.
He saw the deep wound heal quickly, and it was completely healed after a while.
The pregnant woman looked at Jiang Wen in astonishment, and after moving her leg, she respectfully bowed to Jiang Wen.
"Holy Envoy."
