The chessboard, which had once carried the power of the spiritual evil of heaven and earth, had now sunk into the ground, revealing the entrance beneath it. Ten zhang in circumference, it was so deep that even sunlight could not penetrate it.
Some people still needed to rush to this place from outside the town.
But some people had simply set up camp in front of Lanke Mountain, such as the Demon Summoning Sect members, who had long been waiting eagerly.
“The spiritual evil Qi of Lanke Mountain has finally dispersed.”
“The Immortal indeed spoke the truth.”
Tan Zhuyin, dressed in a black robe, stood under the sunlight.
“Saint, although the things beneath Lanke Mountain originate from our sect’s ancestral god,”
“Is it not a bit too arrogant for us to act like this?”
The speaker was a cross-eyed man. Upon closer inspection, his clothes bore the Yin Yang Hall's insignia.
He was precisely the one who made no distinction between humans and animals, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
He was the representative sent by the Demon Summoning Sect's Yin Yang Hall. The reason he spoke this way was because he had resumed his old profession and taken a private job.
But he never expected it.
The Saint and the Hall Master of Hundred Beasts, who had always been accompanied by shadows and acted cautiously, were surprisingly so ostentatious this time.
“Haha, we also have the protection of my Immortal elder brother.”
Luo Yexian crossed his arms, looking at them with the gaze of someone observing mortals:
“He told us to report to him regularly after entering. What does this mean? This is him telling us early that if things change, he will act!”
“How can we reveal our whereabouts to outsiders....”
“That’s why I said your eyesight is poor, and you’re a frog in a well!”
“Who said my eyesight is poor?!”
The cross-eyed man was enraged; he hated it most when others said his eyesight was poor.
“Yesterday, you even played a ‘one bamboo’ as an ‘eight wan’. Do you call that good eyesight?”
Luo Yexian’s single sentence made the cross-eyed man take a deep breath, his face slightly flushed.
But who made him only just enter the fifth realm Outer Scenery, and he had no familial relation to the Saint.
“Hmph, with an external enemy present, do you want people to laugh at you by fighting amongst yourselves?”
Tan Zhuyin suddenly let out a cold snort, his tone carrying solemnity. A powerful Aura suddenly rose from around him, with the faint sound of a fierce Dragon roar behind him.
He was engaged in an Aura confrontation with someone.
The Demon Summoning Sect members froze, then looked up at the sky.
Above the sky, a figure wearing a golden crown seemed to obscure the sun, his double pupils looking down with cold disdain.
Behind him followed a group of silver-armored Sky Patrol Guards, all possessing powerful Auras.
“You gutter worm, a defeated general, it’s one thing to hide your head and tail, but you dare to brazenly come and see me?”
“Haha, what is the Great Yu Dynasty? You don’t know what kind of existence stands behind me!”
Tan Zhuyin sneered.
Facing this Great Yu Crown Prince, who had once nearly killed him, he stood with his hands behind his back, his tone filled with powerful confidence.
The two sides confronted each other.
It could not be said they were evenly matched, as every Sky Patrol Guard behind Jiang Yu was a top talent in the Outer Scenery realm, and the bearded middle-aged man was an even more famous expert on the Earth Ranking.
But the Demon Summoning Sect side had a strange self-confidence, not losing out in Aura at all.
Both sides were at loggerheads, as if a great battle was about to erupt.
Immediately, the various forces and Jianghu recluses who had arrived watched from the sidelines, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
“The Demon-Calling Holy Child actually dares to challenge Your Highness now? Where does he get such courage?”
“Hiss... it’s hard to say. The Demon Summoning Sect’s Legacy is ancient; perhaps they have some reliance.”
“They won’t actually fight, will they?”
“I wish they would. If both sides suffer, wouldn’t we have more opportunities?”
....
It wasn't just the forces present who thought this.
The people on the Great Yu Dynasty side also felt their ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) thoughts churning, and Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes.
Why did the Demon Summoning Sect members seem so confident?
The atmosphere was extremely tense for a moment.
But just then, a cloud of mist suddenly drifted from a slightly distant place.
The two figures on it, one wearing a white pure yang long gown and the other a dark taiyin liuxian dress, were like immortal companions descending to the mortal world....
Uh, perhaps that description isn't quite accurate. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Han Xianzi was too dazzling.
Having grown a year older, her cool jade-like face and figure had gained a more mature quality. Wherever she appeared, she would immediately attract attention.
No one would have imagined that Han Xianzi’s delicate lips had once uttered the word ‘Gege’ to a certain childish fellow....
“So why is she only ranked third on the Baihua List?”
“Is there a possibility that Han Xianzi hasn’t fully matured yet, and being ranked third is to give her some room for improvement?”
“It’s a fix, or the Yantian Sect’s enforcers are blind!”
If Xiao Li had heard this, he would probably have patted that person on the shoulder.
To be fair, it was true.
However, he probably didn't have this opportunity, as Han Xianzi's small hand was currently held by him.
“Why is everyone just standing here?”
Li Mo was initially puzzled, then his expression became serious.
“Could it be that there’s some dangerous existence right at the entrance of this great tomb? I seem to sense a strong feeling of crisis and Killing Intent.”
“Hmm...”
Ying Bing lowered her eyes slightly.
The Killing Intent didn’t seem to be coming from inside the tomb.
Because as soon as they arrived, everyone’s gaze turned towards the two of them.
And finally converged on Li Mo.
“Is this the arrogant person who offended Your Highness, and, relying on a small contribution, doesn’t understand proper etiquette?”
Among the Sky Patrol Guards, the bearded silver-armored commander asked in a deep voice.
Jiang Yu remained noncommittal, but his double pupils stared at the two, his expression thoughtful.
“It’s them...”
Luo Yexian’s expression was complex, his eyes mixing admiration, anger, and even a hint of fear.
“Li Mo, Ying Bing!”
Tan Zhuyin’s face was grim, the feeling of enemies meeting and their eyes turning red was no less intense than when he saw Jiang Yu.
It was these two who caused Han Shi’s death and led to the sect’s grand plan in the Southern Border falling through.
Moreover, the speed at which these two rose on the Qianlong Ranking was even more exaggerated than Jiang Yu’s back then; they had already surpassed him and would definitely threaten his return to the top of the ranking in the future.
Luo Yexian said with lingering fear: “These two are probably also individuals blessed with great Luck... If they were to enter the Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect...”
“You used to be from the Rain Listening Pavilion?”
The Demon-Calling Holy Child looked at the cross-eyed Outer Scenery, the one who made no distinction between humans and animals, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
“Yes.”
“Then, after you go down, find an opportunity to eliminate them. I will reward you after it’s done.”
“Ah?”
The cross-eyed man was stunned.
One job, earning two sets of money? Such a good thing exists?
The gazes from both sides of the crowd towards Li Mo were not very friendly.
Other forces and Jianghu recluses... their aggression was also not small.
It was mainly directed at Li Mo.
“Li Mo, you really deserve to die!”
“It must be that he can’t fly, so he had no choice but to hold her hand and lead her, right?”
“It must be like that!”
Facing the gazes of many young talents, Li Mo leaned back slightly, then tightened his grip on Ice Cube’s other hand.
“Ice Cube, you must hold on tight to me.”
“Hmm?”
Li Mo said earnestly: “What if this is like the last time in the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm, and we get randomly teleported to different locations? If we hold hands tightly, we won’t be separated. This is for safety.”
“For safety?”
Ying Bing narrowed her eyes, looking at the boy’s serious expression.
She suspected that Li Mo wasn’t afraid of a teleportation Formation within the great tomb.
It was because the childish fellow’s Heart-Nature had acted up again, deliberately finding such an excuse, in front of so many people....
With both hands held, they were almost hugging.
After a moment of silence, she nodded gently:
“...Hmm, safety first.”
