But it soon discovered that there seemed to be some force deep within the mist, hindering its exploration.
Originally, its Spiritual Power could easily cover thousands of kilometers.
But within this white mist, it was less than ten kilometers.
To a Tier Four existence, this was almost akin to blindness.
This also made it vigilant.
In the midst of everything, it sensed that there seemed to be some hidden danger within the depths of the white mist.
Danger that could even threaten its life.
"Reporting to the Elder, we are not quite sure either."
"Before the Grand Elder and the others died, the Celestial Pine Mountain Range was just an ordinary mountain range."
"But after they died, it was suddenly enveloped by white mist, turning this place into a forbidden area."
"Initially, several Tier Three companions entered, trying to gather some information."
"But until now, they haven’t returned, and even their Soul Lamps have extinguished."
"We don’t know what’s happening in the Celestial Pine Mountain Range now."
Many cultivators from the Scythe Insect Race immediately spoke up.
They naturally wanted to find out who killed the Grand Elder of the Scythe Insect Race and many clan members as soon as possible.
But now the Celestial Pine Mountain Range has become a forbidden area.
If too many clan members are sent in, the Scythe Insect Race will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.
The previous war had already caused too many deaths and injuries among the Scythe Insect Race.
They could not afford even greater losses.
"Elder, could it be that the Grand Elder and the others triggered some taboo of the Celestial Pine Mountain Range, leading to such a sudden change?" A cultivator from the Scythe Insect Race couldn’t help but voice their guess.
Because similar incidents happened too frequently on the Western Continent.
Due to the existence of several True Spirit Secret Realms, there are many forbidden areas on the Western Continent.
No one knows the origins of these forbidden areas.
They only know that forbidden areas are very dangerous, and entering them often leads to a high chance of death.
Many forbidden areas are feared even by the four Tier Five races, and they have never dared to approach them lightly.
So it highly suspects that some change occurred at the Celestial Pine Mountain Range, turning the place into a forbidden area.
This is likely what led to the Grand Elder and the others’ deaths.
"Let’s go."
"This place is too dangerous."
"It’s beyond what our Scythe Insect Race can handle."
Upon hearing this, the Scythe Insect Race Elder said quietly.
"Elder, are we just going to leave? Shouldn’t we investigate the Grand Elder’s cause of death?"
Many cultivators from the Scythe Insect Race were surprised, not expecting the Elder to make such a decision.
"Alas, this place gives me an ominous feeling."
"It seems that some terrifying existence is about to awaken inside."
"Even the Grand Elder perished inside; what can we possibly do?"
"Even if we enter, it might only lead to death."
"Since that’s the case, there’s no need to go in and die."
"Our Scythe Insect Race is currently in turbulent times and cannot afford more deaths and injuries among the Elders."
"If more Elders die or get injured, the Scythe Insect Race might be doomed."
The Scythe Insect Race Elder said helplessly.
As these words were spoken, other cultivators from the Scythe Insect Race turned solemn; in comparison to the survival of their race, the deaths of the Grand Elder and others seemed trivial. Clearly, what was happening now was beyond their control.
"So let’s leave this matter to other races."
"Perhaps some other races might be interested in the Celestial Pine Mountain Range."
The Scythe Insect Race Elder said sternly.
He thought it was better to use others to handle demons.
Perhaps some other naive demon races would help them probe the Celestial Pine Mountain Range.
