Chapter 5524The wind and sand howled like an angry beast, and the wasteland was vast and boundless, seemingly endless.After leaving Dongxiang County, David and Hu Mazi resolutely headed northwest, heading in the direction the princess had mentioned.“David, do you think what the princess said is true? Is the Sixth Prince really in the mountains northwest of the wasteland?”Hu Mazi, somewhat unsure, frowned slightly, and asked with some doubt.David nodded slightly, his expression calm and resolute. “It should be true. He was trapped in his situation, too afraid to lie.And judging by his panicked yet deliberately concealed reaction, he’s truly just a puppet being manipulated. The real secret lies with the Sixth Palace.”Hu Mazi’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. He chuckled, rubbing his fists, and said, “That’s great! When we find the Sixth Palace, we’ll definitely teach those guys a lesson.They dared to collect the souls of cultivators for cultivation. They’re simply insane and inhumane. I won’t be able to quench my hatred until I tear them to pieces!”David glanced at him indifferently, his eyes as if seeing through everything, and with an innate superiority.Then he said slowly, “Don’t worry, their good days are over. Before me, David, any evil heretic is nothing but a piece of shit, vulnerable to a blow.”The two men headed west, and the more northwest they traveled, the more desolate the surroundings became.At first, you could still see some sparse vegetation and small animals struggling to survive in the wilderness, but later, even these signs of life completely disappeared, leaving only the yellow sand rolling like a surging tide, and the howling wind was like a sharp blade, cutting people’s faces painfully.“Is there really anyone living in this damn place? It doesn’t even feel like a place where people can survive.”noveldramaHu Mazi couldn’t help but complain, while shielding himself from the wind and sand with his hands.At this moment, David suddenly stopped. Standing tall and straight like a pine tree, his gaze piercing the sky. He pointed ahead and said, “Look, there’s a mountain!” HuMazi followed the direction of David’s finger and saw a massive peak rising from the ground on the distant horizon, piercing the sky.The peak was pitch black, like a sleeping beast, emitting a sinister and terrifying aura that sent shivers down one’s spine, as if anyone approached would be devoured by the evil force.“Is that the mountain where the Sixth Palace is located? It looks so strange, and it feels like it holds countless unspeakable secrets and dangers.”Hu Mazi swallowed, a sense of fear welling up in his heart.David nodded, his expression stern, like an unshakable iceberg. He said, “That must be it. Look at the aura around the mountain; it’s filled with a sinister aura, evidently due to the vast number of souls gathered here.This kind of evil place is bound to breed the most ruthless and vicious individuals, but in my presence, they are destined to pay a heavy price.”The two quickened their pace, heading towards the peak.

Even the air became icy cold, making it difficult to breathe.“This place is truly eerie! I feel like my cultivation is being suppressed, as if restrained by an invisible hand. My whole body feels uncomfortable,”Hu Mazi frowned, a look of pain on his face.David smiled calmly, with a kind of contempt for all evil in that smile, and said: “This is normal. The Sixth Palace has collected so many souls and established a soul gathering formation here.Ordinary people who come here may not even be able to stand steadily and will be directly swallowed by this evil energy. However, in front of me, any formation and any evil power are nothing but child’s play.”As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
