Xue Qi nodded and said, "As expected of the leader of the four great demons. Most of the inner sanctum's disciples don't know this secret information, yet you know it in such detail."
In fact, judging from everyone's expressions, apart from Su Yu and Zi Xuan, the four demons were well aware of this.
Their eyes and ears in the inner sect were very well-informed.
Gongsun Wuxie gnashed her teeth and brandished her delicate fists. "Hehe, this Villa Master Zhang actually sent us Outer Sect disciples there. I'm going to poison him to death. Brother Shanliang, give me your Heaven Poison and Earth Poison Poison. I'm going to poison this guy to death!"
Bai Shanliang smiled warmly, like the boy next door. "Wu Xie, you're being naughty again. Your brother's name has the word 'kind' in it. How can I refine poison?"
Xue Qi raised her brows and moved back. She maintained a distance of six feet from Bai Shanliang and clicked her tongue in wonder. "Are you the leader of the four great demons, Bai Shanliang? It's said that your method of refining poisons has reached the point of perfection. Many Divine Masters and old monsters who dabble in this path are far inferior to you. "
Gongsun Wuxie crossed her arms in front of her chest and raised her neck slightly. "That's right. Brother Shanliang can even poison a late-stage Divine Master to death. He's really powerful. Brother Shanliang, hurry up and give it to me. I'll go and poison this hateful guy to death."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Su Yu was slightly startled. He knew that Bai Shanliang's reputation as a drug addict wasn't just for show, but he didn't know that his poison refining technique was so superb that he could even poison a late-stage Divine Master to death! What kind of terrifying poison was that?
"Cough, cough … Urgh …" Bai Shanliang coughed twice heavily and spat out a column of blood from his mouth. His expression quickly weakened, and he said weakly, "How can my frail body withstand the ravages of poison? Haha, Wu Xie, don't mess around. "
Wu Xie wrinkled her fleshy nose and bared her teeth. She stretched out her small palm and said, "Then give me another bottle of Nine Heavens Earth Extinguishing Diarrhea Powder. Even if the poison doesn't kill him, it'll still make him die of diarrhea!"
The corners of Bai Shanliang's mouth twitched. "I only gave you two. Lao Ai, you used one. Where's the other one?"
Wu Xie averted her eyes and muttered: "Petty!"
For some unknown reason, Su Yu had a vague feeling that Wu Xie had just brushed past him.
This was the second time the little demon had peeked at him!
Su Yu immediately became vigilant. Could it be that he intends to use the other portion of the Nine Heavens Earth Extinction Diarrhea Powder on me?
At this moment, Bing Wuxin said expressionlessly, "It's still too early to make a conclusion! It is true that there have been cases of people disappearing in the Eighteen Linked Mountains, but from the looks of it, there aren't many of them. Manor Master Zhang might not have intentionally harmed us. "
"We only have three days. How much wasteland we can reclaim and how many useful items we can find will depend on our luck. There's no time to lose, let's head to the Eighteen Linked Mountains first."
Everyone nodded. Although it was dangerous, if they could return safely, their gains would be great.
The group left the mansion and headed for the tent.
The tents were located at the outermost area of the Elegant Spirit Mountain Village. Looking from the sky, they were at the edge of the ring.
Taking a step forward was an endless stretch of barren mountains.
Among them, there were eighteen pitch-black mountain peaks that were connected in a line. They were even more sinister than the dark green mountain peaks, giving off an oppressive feeling.
"An ominous mountain peak." Xue Qi furrowed her brows as she looked at the eighteen black mountains. "The Eighteen Linked Mountains are more dangerous than the other mountains. Everyone, you must be careful when digging."
Bai Shanliang furrowed his brows slightly. "That's right. There is a faint poisonous gas in the air, and it has a corrosive aura. So, there must be an extremely poisonous object in the vicinity. We should really be careful. I have some antidote pills here, and they should be able to deal with the poisonous gas."
He gave each of them a pure white crystalline pill. After they inhaled a mouthful of it, they felt refreshed, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared.
"The Condensing Fragrance Crystal Moon Pill, which is rarely seen even in the inner sanctum?" Xue Qi's eyes lit up. "It's an antidote treasure that can't be bought even with 1,000 merit points. I didn't expect that West Poison wasn't just proficient in refining poisons, he was also proficient in detoxifying poisons."
Bai Shanliang waved his hand disapprovingly. "Since he's proficient in refining poisons, he's also proficient in detoxifying poisons. The two are related, so there's nothing surprising about it."
As he spoke, Bai Shanliang added, "Everyone, make your own preparations. Once you're done, you can enter the Eighteen Linked Mountains. Otherwise, if you run into danger in a hurry, the gains won't make up for the losses."
Everyone felt danger, so, they all went back to their tents.
The tents were separated, and they weren't spacious. They were only suitable for resting.
However, the tents all had a soundproof barrier, so it would be difficult for anyone from the outside to spy on the situation inside.
Su Yu sat down cross-legged and his gaze flickered. "You can come out now."
Swoosh!
As the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl flickered, a cute loli, who was wearing a pink dress, appeared.
Her exquisite face was filled with amazement as she looked around in surprise. Her eyes were filled with shock as she cried out involuntarily, "This Spiritual Energy isn't from the Zhenlong World!"
Su Yu nodded calmly. "That's right. I've already reached Jiuzhou."
The little loli was obviously Sheng Ge.
In an instant, Sheng Ge's gaze became resplendent, and it shone with an ecstatic light.
She had finally returned to Jiuzhou after waiting for so long.
However, she was aware of her current situation, so after she calmed down, she stood in front of Su Yu and waited for his instructions.
"Tell me, what did you just discover?" Su Yu asked bluntly.
When Su Yu had met Manor Master Zhang, Sheng Ge, who was in the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl, had sent out a weak consciousness to warn Su Yu.
Sheng Ge's expression became solemn, and she said in a grave voice, "Master, I just detected the aura of my kind."
Same kind? Su Yu's eyes flickered. "Are you saying that the Ghost Clan exists?"
"Yes, the Ghost Clan is much more sensitive to the aura of our own kind than humans. Furthermore, I'm also quite special. I've cultivated the Ghost Realm's Cultivation Method to sense auras, so my perception is far better than that of ordinary Ghost Clan members. Perhaps the Ghost Clan members near Master can't sense me in the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl, but I've already sensed his existence."
He actually came into close contact with the Ghost Race?
From the time that Shengge had reminded him of, it was time to meet with Manor Lord Zhang.
In other words, between Villa Master Zhang and the nine elders, there was a ghost!
Thinking back to a hundred years ago, the invasion of the Ghost Realm almost caused the extinction of the human race in the Nine States. The two sides could be said to be incompatible like fire and water.
If news of the Ghost Race sneaking into Elegant Spirit Mountain traveled back to the sect, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. Perhaps it would become a meritorious service, and they would receive a large number of merit points as a reward.
Unfortunately, he had no evidence and was unable to explain the reason.
"Okay. You should pay attention to his presence at all times. Once he comes close, you must warn me in time," Su Yu said.
Shengge nodded.
Su Yu took a deep breath. "I will need your help later. If you can help me more, you will also benefit from it."
— —
Two hours later.
The group of seven people gathered together once again.
Zi Xuan tilted her head and moved closer to Su Yu's ear. "Can we find Su Yu here? It doesn't seem like it. "
Su Yu replied sheepishly, "You should just search patiently. You might end up with an unexpected harvest."
"Fine. I hope that we can quickly find that guy, as I don't have much time left," Zi Xuan said earnestly.
Swoosh!
The group of seven people entered the Eighteen Linked Mountains, each of them in charge of a mountain.
Their goal was to excavate all ten mountains and open up a plain.
Su Yu held the Heavenly Orchid Silver Bamboo Golden Sword in his hand as he flew to the top of the mountain.
Thump! Thump!
A series of muffled sounds echoed, and it felt like he was stepping on a lump of iron.
When he looked at the mountain's vegetation, he discovered that they were all pitch-black, straight, and sturdy.
A strong wind whistled on the mountain's peak, causing Su Yu's clothes to flutter. However, the vegetation on the mountain didn't move in the slightest, as if they were made of iron.
Then, he observed them carefully. Su Yu discovered that the mountain's peak under his feet had been excavated by someone. This meant that he wasn't the first person to excavate this mountain.
Moreover, judging from the excavation marks, it seemed like at least five people had excavated it.
However, they had only excavated a small mound, which wasn't even a tenth of the whole mountain.
Su Yu held the small golden sword in his hand and waved it at the ground.
Creak!
The small golden sword rubbed against the ground, creating a series of sparks.
Even though the small golden sword was a semi-manufactured spiritual artifact, it was only able to leave a dent that was half a finger deep in the valley.
Su Yu was flabbergasted by this, as he knew that if he continued waving his sword at the ground, he would have to wait for a long time before he could completely excavate the whole mountain.
Moreover, it would be impossible for him to obtain the treasures left behind by the great battle between humans and ghosts.
Su Yu pondered this for a moment, then called out to Sheng Ge. "Is the reason why this place's environment has become like this because of the great battle between humans and ghosts?"
When Sheng Ge appeared, she looked at the ground under her feet in amazement and clicked her tongue in wonder. "Well, this mountain is somewhat strange, as it seems like it contains our Ghost Clan's All Creation Realm's blood essence. His blood essence watered the mountain's peak, causing it to become extremely sturdy. It would be difficult to shake it unless one used a spiritual artifact."
An All Creation Realm ghost? Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the eighteen mountains. He couldn't help but recall the past when an injured All Creation Realm ghost's blood sprinkled on this place, causing the eighteen mountains to transform and become as sturdy as steel.
"If I wanted to excavate this mountain, wouldn't it be as difficult as ascending to heaven?" Su Yu asked.
Sheng Ge wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a moment before she said, "Master, if you trust me, you can absorb the ghost's blood essence in the mountain. This way, the mountain will soften, and it will be easier for you to excavate it."
Su Yu looked at her and nodded. "Go ahead and try it. If you don't trust me, don't use me. Since I called you out, I will let you do as you wish."
Sheng Ge was delighted, and she looked at the black mountain with delight written all over her face.
Swoosh!
Ghost energy engulfed Sheng Ge's body as she drilled into the mountain.
Soon after, the small patch of soil under Su Yu's feet turned from black to dark blue at a speed that could be observed by the naked eye.
Su Yu casually waved his sword at it, cutting off a mountain that was as big as a palm.
As Su Yu relaxed, he commanded the three small golden swords at the same time, and they quickly cut off the mountain.
After two hours had passed, one percent of the whole mountain had been shaved off, and it had become slightly shorter.
At this moment, Sheng Ge, who was softening the soil, suddenly transmitted her voice to Su Yu. "Master, there's something down there."
Su Yu's heart thumped, and he sped up.
After a cup of tea's time, when he had shaved off a large piece of rock, he found a broken black bone claw, which was tightly grasping a small, tattered drum.
The two sides of the drum were carved with ferocious beast heads, which gave off an ominous feeling.
When Su Yu picked it up, he felt his hair stand on end, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"This is a ghost artifact of the ghost clan, and it's a spiritual artifact. It's called the Human Skin Drum, and it was made from the top of a human Fairy Realm expert's head," Sheng Ge said carefully as she looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu's gaze became slightly ice-cold. They were really a cruel clan!
He recalled the little ghost he had met in the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion and the Evil Ghost Valley. It was also a cruel and bloodthirsty demon. Killing it back then had been the right decision.
