Not long later, they saw a greenish red light flashing in front of them. Thunder could be heard and the ground was trembling. It was easy to imagine how intense the battle was. Guo Shier was very sensitive. He shouted, "Let's speed up!" He was wondering if Master was in front.
Soon, they saw two people fighting. Guo Shier glanced at them and said, "Two 6th layer altar professionals."
Two altar professionals, one male and one female. The male clearly had the upper hand. When Guo Shier's group appeared, the two retreated at the same time. An 8th layer altar professional, a 7th layer altar professional, and two 5th layer altar professionals were enough to kill the two of them.
Yu Zhong stepped forward and said, "Sister Yao, I'm Yu Zhong!" He met an acquaintance.
"Brother Yu Zhong …"
The woman quickly flew over. The man turned around and wanted to run. Yu Zhong shouted, "Why don't you try running?" The man was stunned and had to stop. The opponent was too strong. There was a group of high level professionals. He complained in his heart but didn't dare to run.
Yu Zhong turned back and said, "This is our sect's ancestor, 6th layer altar professional, Yao Yao."
Yao Yao was a beautiful young woman. Guo Shier only needed one look to know that this person's appearance didn't match her age. Her actual age shouldn't be young. Of course, age didn't matter for professionals. High level altar professionals could live up to a thousand years. Therefore, this woman should be more than a hundred years old.
Guo Shier stepped forward and said, "Vagrant professional, Guo Shier. These two are Falconer and Luo Zhan."
Yao Yao bowed and said, "Yao Yao greets the three ancestors."
Yu Zhong looked back at the man and asked, "Who are you?"
Everyone naturally gathered around him. The man smiled bitterly. He wanted to run, but the opponent had two experts. He couldn't escape. They could quickly seal the entire space. He couldn't break it with his strength. Moreover, he wasn't Yao Yao's enemy. He quickly said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding … we were just sparring."
Yu Zhong asked, "Sister Yao, what happened?"
Yao Yao smiled bitterly and said, "He's from the Ancient Zhenwu Clan, Ancestor Wu Jing."
Yu Zhong was dazed and said, "Ancient Zhenwu Clan?"
Guo Shier asked, "What's wrong?" He had never heard of this family, but there were countless ancient families in this world, so it was normal that he did not know.
Yu Zhong said, "It's a big clan." He asked, "Wu Jing, Sister Yao, why are you fighting?" He didn't believe they were sparring.
Yao Yao blushed, but Guo Shier caught a glimpse of it. He thought to himself, "Uh, is there something going on? Wait, the fight was too intense, it didn't seem … "
Wu Jing's appearance wasn't bad. He had the image of a very steady middle-aged uncle. He was stammering, and no one knew what he was saying. It was obvious that his expression was a little awkward.
Yu Chong said impatiently, "You are all ancestors of the six-layered altar, why are you stuttering? "Say what!"
Wu Jing gritted her teeth and said, "I like Yao Yao!"
Guo Shier said, "I like Yao Yao!"
Yao Yao said angrily, "Who wants you to like …" It was hard to tell if she liked or disliked him. It gave people a strange feeling.
Everyone stopped talking. These two were clearly enemies. There was nothing to talk about. It was better to let them solve this themselves. Yu Zhong looked down and said, "Sister Yao, we're going to the Golden Blaze Well. Are you coming?"
Yao Yao said, "I'm going to the Golden Blaze Well, but he's holding me back." She glared at Wu Jing and said, "It's all your fault!" Her tone was more coquettish than angry.
Wu Jing mumbled but didn't argue. He said, "I'm going to the Golden Blaze Well too." He shamelessly insisted on following them. At this point, even a blind man could tell that the relationship between the two wasn't ordinary. Even though Yao Yao denied it flatly, everyone was well aware of the truth.
Yu Zhong said with a faint smile, "Alright, let's go together. The Golden Blaze Well isn't a restricted area anyway."
The two met up with the team. Guo Shier wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He immediately went up and handed the jade talisman over. "Have you seen the person in the jade talisman?"
Wu Jing and Yao Yao each took a look. Both of them shook their heads and said, "Nope."
Guo Shier wasn't disappointed. It was always hard to find people. He nodded and said, "Let's go, Ancestor Yu Zhong."
Yu Zhong nodded. "Alright, let's go."
Wu Jing and Yao Yao had a strange feeling that the leader of this team was Guo Shier and not Yu Zhong, who was the strongest. The two didn't say anything and followed the others into the distance.
After flying for half a day, they finally arrived at the Golden Blaze Well.
Guo Shier looked at it and said in surprise, "Is this a natural talisman array?"
Yu Zhong said, "Yes, this is the outer natural talisman array. It's not very powerful, but first-timers will be at a disadvantage. Hehe, but I've been here before, so I'm familiar with this natural talisman array. Everyone, just follow me."
It was a stone forest. More accurately, it was a forest made of countless oddly-shaped metals. These metals were mixed in the rocks. Some of the rocks were more than a thousand meters tall, standing on the ground like giant tree trunks. The terrain was extremely complicated. Guo Shier asked, "Do we fly over?"
Yu Zhong said, "We can't. This part of the sky has been sealed by the natural talisman array. We can only go through from below."
Yao Yao said, "There are only a few ways to enter this natural talisman array. We can't just barge in randomly. There are a few dangerous places inside."
There was some sparse moss on the ground, a few weeds stubbornly grew in the cracks of the rocks, and a few poisonous scorpions wandered among the rocks. Guo Shier said, "This place is desolate … Do we go in now?"
Yu Zhong said, "It's getting dark. Let's rest outside for the night and go in tomorrow."
Wu Jing had been silent the whole time. He quietly sat on the side and waited. His eyes would sneak a glance at Yao Yao from time to time.
Guo Shier nodded and said, "Alright, let's rest for the night." He was too lazy to use the Hidden Talisman House. He directly took out a beast skin mat and sat on it. Falconer and Luo Zhan also sat down. Yu Zhong hesitated for a bit before sitting down as well. Wu Jing and Yao Yao sat on the two sides, far away from each other. They looked like enemies.
In front of them was the entrance. It was a tunnel that looked like an arched door. The arched door was naturally formed, dark and deep. Guo Shier only took a glance before looking away. They would only enter tomorrow morning. Now was not the time to explore.
A few talisman lights flashed in the sky. In the blink of an eye, three professionals landed. They glanced at everyone and also found an empty space to sit down. Guo Shier thought, "One five-layered altar and two six-layered altars … Indeed, only high level professionals can enter."
The sky became even darker. Another two talisman lights flashed. A seven-layered altar professional appeared, followed by a six-layered altar professional. The two of them looked at each other and also found an empty space to sit down.
Late at night, a few more high level professionals arrived. They also found an empty space to sit down. They didn't greet each other and just silently waited.
The night passed peacefully. No Professionist would be stupid enough to cause trouble here.
Early in the morning, a few impatient professionals already rushed into the entrance while the others stayed where they were. Guo Shier put away the beast skin mat and leisurely washed up. He then took out some braised meat and flatbread. Since he didn't have time to boil soup, he also took out a few bottles of fruit wine. Everyone quickly finished their breakfast before flying into the natural talisman formation.
As soon as they entered the natural talisman formation, Guo Shier immediately understood that this talisman formation had already become its own world. What he saw around him weren't naturally formed talisman pillars, but a vast expanse of land. The ground was dark brown without any plants. It was extremely desolate. Far in the distance, there was no end in sight, and the sky was also filled with fog.
Guo Shier closely followed behind Yu Zhong. He hated this kind of terrain the most, it was completely directionless. A Handsome Old Man also appeared, his expression solemn as he said: "This place … is not easy to walk. Without someone to lead you, it's very easy to get lost. Be careful and don't get lost. You're clueless about directions, if you get lost, you'll be in big trouble"
Yu Zhong said: "Fly behind me, don't fly too far, otherwise you'll get lost in the natural talisman formation"
Behind Guo Shier were Falconer and Luo Zhan, followed by Yao Yao and Wu Jing. The six of them flew down in a straight line.
Gradually, the environment began to change. The dark brown ground was gradually covered in rocks. From time to time, water could be seen flowing through the cracks of the rocks. Some plants could also be seen, but there were no insects or animals. As they flew, the six of them didn't stop at all. The environment was changing rapidly, and Guo Shier knew that this was the change brought about by the natural talisman formation.
The terrain kept changing, from ordinary ground to desert, then to grassland, then to swamps. There were all kinds of terrains, all kinds of weather. Other than the lack of insects and wild animals, there was everything else, which was very magical.
Luckily, Yu Zhong was very familiar with this place, and he led everyone flying. After a few days, Yu Zhong finally stopped and said: "Let's take a break."
Everyone landed on the ground, and Yu Zhong took out a beast skin mat. Everyone sat down together. Guo Shier asked: "How much longer until we arrive?"
