(First update!)

Previously, even when the people from the Celestial Beast Alliance were in front of him, his expression did not change at all.
But now, the name of a treasure mentioned by the two experts from the Xueya Escort Team shocked Jian Wushuang.
"The Stately Painting!" Jian Wushuang murmured.
In his previous life, Jian Wushuang had two treasures in the Eternal Chaotic World.
These two treasures were given to him by his master, Xuan Yi. One of them was the Blood Mountain Sword, which was his Life Weapon. As his strength increased, so did its power.
The second treasure was the Stately Painting!
It was his trump card and one of his strongest trump cards. At the same time, it was one of the most powerful treasures from the Seven Star Black Sect!
When his soul was sent into the Reincarnation Passage by Xuan Yi, the Blood Mountain Sword and the Stately Painting were sent over by Xuan Yi at the same time.
The Blood Mountain Sword fell from the sky when he was born and was still in his hands.
However, the Stately Painting was lost.
Jian Wushuang guessed that the Stately Painting should have landed in the Ancient God Domain at the same time as he was born. However, he did not know where it was.
Now, Jian Wushuang heard the name of the Stately Painting again from the two experts from the Xueya Escort Team in the Dark Thunder Territory.
"According to what the two of them said, the Stately Painting was discovered by the Xiao Clan not long ago. The Xiao Clan was destroyed by the Territorial Master because of this. Obviously, the Stately Painting is extraordinary. At the very least, it could make the Territorial Master go crazy. That's why he was willing to destroy a big clan."
"However, I can't be completely sure that the Stately Painting is my treasure."
Although Jian Wushuang was excited, he did not lose his mind.
In this world, there were countless people with the same name. Naturally, there were treasures with the same name as well.
For example, it was possible for a special treasure in a painting scroll to be called the Stately Painting.
But no matter what, since he had heard someone talking about The Stately Painting, he could not pretend that he had not heard it.
"The Xiao Clan was destroyed by the Territorial Master because of the Stately Painting. I wonder if the Stately Painting fell into the hands of the Territorial Master."
Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes and looked at the purple-armored lady sitting on the ground not far away. "This lady … Miss Xiao. She must know that the Stately Painting in her Xiao Clan has been obtained by the Xiao Clan!"
It was a quiet night.
The next day, after the members of the Xueya Escort Team had fully recovered, they set off again.
Soon, they arrived in front of a huge mountain range.
At this point, the group of people paused for a moment.
"Captain, according to the route we took, the Demonic Moon Mountain Range should be in front of us. The Demonic Moon Prefecture, one of the Eighteen Prefectures of Dark Thunder Territory, has its headquarters in the Demonic Moon Mountain Range. However, the Eighteen Prefectures are well-known in Dark Thunder Territory. They won't easily take action if there aren't enough benefits," said an Ultimate God vice-captain of the Xueya Escort Team.
Although the Eighteen Prefectures were bandits, they had long been upgraded to the level of a force.
They dominated Dark Thunder Territory and were the overlords of the territory. Although they would still rob passing or passing guards, caravans, and some experts, they would usually figure out the other party's strength and the benefits they could obtain before taking action.
The Eighteen Prefectures would not take action if there were not enough benefits.
For example, they were only a crimson-level escort team. The fifty cultivators they were escorting were of ordinary background. The only one that attracted attention was Jian Wushuang who was riding on the double-horned Thunderous Star Beast. However, that was not enough to catch the Demonic Moon Prefecture's attention.
"That's true, but we still have to be careful. Even if we encounter ordinary bandits, we should avoid them as much as possible. This is the Demonic Moon Prefecture's headquarters after all. Many of the bandits here are from the Demonic Moon Prefecture. We're just passing by and will pass through in two days at most. Don't cause any trouble," said Xiao Tiexin.
"Yes, as long as we pass through the Demonic Moon Prefecture, we'll be considered to have passed through the central part of Dark Thunder Territory. The rest of the journey will be smooth sailing," said the vice-captain.
"Let's go."
Following Xiao Tiexin's order, everyone quickly entered the Demonic Moon Mountain Range.
His speed wasn't too fast, but it wasn't slow either.
After an hour …
Jian Wushuang who had been sitting cross-legged on the double-horned Thunderous Star Beast suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked around at the void and shook his head. "Looks like it's not that easy to pass through the Demonic Moon Mountain Range."
Jian Wushuang mumbled to himself and closed his eyes again.
Six hours after entering the Demonic Moon Mountain Range, the journey was still calm and peaceful. Nothing happened.
However, Xiao Tiexin who was walking at the front suddenly stopped.
"Captain, what's wrong?" The two vice-captains beside her immediately looked over.
"Something's wrong." Xiao Tiexin's face was cold. "It's too peaceful and too smooth. The Demonic Moon Mountain Range is the Demonic Moon Prefecture's headquarters. There are countless bandits here. However, we've been in the Demonic Moon Mountain Range for six hours and we haven't even seen a single bandit."
"Not only have we not encountered a single bandit, but we haven't even seen a single scout around us. There's not even a trace of Soul Power. This is impossible!"
Although Xiao Tiexin was still young, after all these years of adventuring, her mentality had matured and she was shrewd and ruthless.
She was not naive enough to think that this was a coincidence.
"Captain, are you saying that the Demonic Moon Prefecture has their eyes on us?" One of the vice-captains could not help but ask.
"It's very likely." Xiao Tiexin nodded solemnly.
"Then what should we do now?" The vice-captain continued to ask.
"Don't panic. Stay calm and go back the way we came. Once we're out of the Demonic Moon Mountain Range, we'll find another way to pass through the central area of the Dark Thunder Territory," Xiao Tiexin said.
"Okay." The two vice-captains nodded solemnly and immediately sent a message to the Xueya Escort Team.
However, before they could go back the way they came, a sudden change occurred!
Buzz!
Several majestic auras suddenly spread out from the void in all directions. Then, a huge layer of light gray energy instantly filled the air.
In the blink of an eye, it completely covered the void where the Xueya Escort Team was.
"This is … a Restrictive Seal?"
"A Siege Seal!"
Xiao Tiexin's expression changed drastically.
