"He left after burying her. However, before he left, he set up an enchantment at the place where she was buried."
"Speaking of which, that enchantment was really strong. I couldn't break through it at all. It was also very well hidden. I have to say that his enchantment technique was brilliant."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that there was an enchantment there and that a beautiful young lady was hiding under it." Xing Jue's face was full of regret.
"You tried to open the enchantment?" Hearing this, Deng Shan's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Heh, I just wanted to take a closer look at the young lady's face. After all, I was too far away and couldn't see clearly. She was too beautiful …" Xing Jue giggled and looked like he was drooling.
"Where is the mountain where you cultivate? Bring me there!" At this moment, Deng Shan couldn't wait any longer.
"I can bring you there, but you have to pay me 10,000 Rank Four immortal herbs first. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll regret your decision," Xing Jue demanded an exorbitant price.
"Bring me there. If what you said is true, I'll pay you."
"That won't do. Anyway, I won't lead the way until I see the immortal herbs. Why don't you contact me when you think about it? I'll go to other cities and ask other elders and disciples. Maybe they'll be willing to pay." As Xing Jue spoke, he prepared to walk out.
"Wait!!!" Seeing this, Deng Shan hurried forward to stop him. In a moment of desperation, he placed his palm on Xing Jue's shoulder.
Deng Shan used too much strength and squeezed Xing Jue's shoulder. Then, he yelled,
"Aiya ~ ~ ~"
With Xing Jue's yell, all the disciples in the loft came out and landed in the main hall. They actually surrounded Xing Jue.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to silence me now? "Xing Jue exclaimed.
"Back off!!" Deng Shan waved his sleeves and shouted at the crowd with a stern expression.
The crowd had no idea what was going on. They originally thought that Xing Jue wanted to cause trouble. But seeing Deng Shan like this, they could only retreat. Deng Shan had ordered that without his orders, no one was allowed to enter the main hall.
"Alright, I agree. I'll pay you 10,000 Tier 4 immortal herbs first."
Finally, Deng Shan gritted her teeth, and with a flip of her hand, a storage bracelet appeared. After Xing Jue checked, this storage bracelet did indeed contain 10,000 Level 4 immortal herbs.
"Alright, follow me." A satisfied smile appeared on Xing Jue's face. Then, he leaped into the air.
Deng Shan followed behind, but his heart was bleeding, because these ten thousand immortal herbs didn't belong to the Hermit Peak, but his own savings.
He needed to apply for the bounty from the higher-ups of the Hermit Peak, but since it was related to the Honorable Artifact, how could Deng Shan apply for it? He naturally wanted to obtain the Honorable Artifact by himself.
"Hmph, I'll let you be complacent. I'll make you lose your life later." Deng Shan secretly made up his mind. As long as he got the Honorable Weapon, he would definitely kill him. However, he did not know that he had already fallen into Xing Jue's trap.
Xing Jue flew east and west, twisting and turning, and finally arrived at a mountain range. This place was remote and very well hidden, so Xing Jue was not worried about being discovered.
"Where is the young lady buried?" Landing in the mountain range, Deng Shan looked at the tall trees around him, and asked with a slight frown.
"Young lady? What young lady? "Xing Jue pretended not to know.
"Of course it's the young lady buried by Xing Jue. Are you lying to me?" Deng Shan revealed a majestic murderous aura.
"Oh, I know. You're talking about Bao Er and the Honorable Weapon, right?" Xing Jue chuckled.
"What … what did you say? How do you know that's Bao Er, and that red sword is the Honorable Weapon?! "Hearing Xing Jue's words, Deng Shan was instantly shocked.
"Of course I know, because I am Xing Jue!!" Xing Jue suddenly transformed into his original form.
"You … you actually …" Seeing the handsome man transform into Xing Jue, Deng Shan's face instantly turned pale, and he felt dizzy. He could not help but start to retreat.
"What? Senior Brother Deng Shan, don't you recognize me? Don't you want to catch me? "Xing Jue approached with a faint smile on his face.
"Swoosh" Suddenly, Deng Shan turned into a ray of light and suddenly soared into the sky. He knew that he had fallen into Xing Jue's trap, and the only thing he could do now was to escape.
"Ahh!!!"
But before he could fly out of the forest, his body was bound by space, and in the end, he fell to the ground. The powerful force shattered his skeleton, and the intense pain caused his face to become abnormally distorted.
"What … what do you want?"
Looking at Xing Jue standing in front of him, Deng Shan's heart was filled with fear. He had seen Xing Jue defeat Lu Yuan, and he knew that he was no match for Xing Jue at all.
"Nothing much, I just want to borrow your identity." Xing Jue smiled slightly, and then suddenly struck out with one palm, bombarding Deng Shan's chest.
With a muffled "bang", Deng Shan's sternum was completely shattered, and the source of his soul was also shattered, turning him into a corpse.
"I thought you were rich after taking out 10,000 immortal herbs so casually, but it turns out you're just a pauper."
Xing Jue put Deng Shan's corpse into the Soul Devouring Token and searched through his storage bracelet, but he found no valuable items. There was not even a single fifth-tier pill, and there were not many fourth-tier immortal herbs left. It could be seen that the 10,000 immortal herbs that he had given to Xing Jue were indeed all his savings.
"However, this is enough." Looking at the Rakshasa Token No. 10 in his hand, Xing Jue's lips curled into an expectant smile.
Only those with Rakshasa Tokens could enter the Rakshasa Forbidden Area, and only ten people had Rakshasa Tokens.
Although Xing Jue had Rakshasa Token No. 1, he did not dare to enter. Without knowing the whereabouts of the other nine disciples, Xing Jue did not dare to impersonate them and enter.
However, now that he had Rakshasa Token No. 10, he could disguise himself as Deng Shan and sneak into Returning Peak. That way, he would be able to get the Rakshasa Stone in one go.
After luring Deng Shan to death, Xing Jue took on his appearance and rushed back to the Hermit Peak. That was the faction that had sent out experts to capture him at all costs.
When he returned to Returning Peak, Xing Jue could clearly hear everyone talking about him and Bao 'er. At this time, Xing Jue wanted to shout, "I, Xing Jue, am back, but he can't."
Along the way, many disciples would greet Xing Jue politely, and Xing Jue would reply to them with a calm expression, as if he was Deng Shan, the real deal.
Soon, he passed through the Tower and arrived at the Rakshasa Forbidden Ground. The two elders were sitting on either side of the gate as usual. They slowly opened their eyes when Xing Jue appeared. There was a glint of surprise in their eyes.
But the two dirty elders said nothing. Xing Jue didn't ask for their permission, either. It was only then that he realized that Deng Shan was not the only one looking for him.
The other eight must have done the same. No one was cultivating in the Rakshasa Forbidden Area at the moment, which was why the two elders were so surprised.
Xing Jue took out Rakshasa Token No.10 and went through the seal under the watchful eyes of the two elders. But he didn't go to the cultivation room on the tenth floor. Instead, he went straight to cultivation room No.1.
With Rakshasa Token No.1 in his hand, Xing Jue went through the seal with ease. He moved the boulder and opened up a secret passage. Once again, he arrived at the underground world, where the Rakshasa Stone was located.
The dim underground world was glowing purple. The closer Xing Jue got, the more excited he became. The thought of the Rakshasa Stone he had been dreaming about was enough to excite him.
"Rakshasa Stone, from this day on, you belong to me, Xing Jue."
Finally, he arrived in front of the mountain-sized Rakshasa Stone. Xing Jue pressed his palms on the ground, and the pitch-black ground began to glow and buzz.
Countless runes the size of sesame seeds appeared and changed rapidly. In the end, they expanded to the size of a watermelon. Then, a huge formation that covered an area of ten thousand meters appeared, enveloping the huge Rakshasa Stone.
The blue light scattered and illuminated the dim underground world. It made the Rakshasa Stone, which was glowing purple, look even more strange.
"Runes, appear!"
Suddenly, Xing Jue put his palms together and shouted. Runes appeared on the countless thick chains. Xing Jue had set them up beforehand. These runes could cut the chains and cut off the connection between the Rakshasa Stone and the Returning Peak.
"Formation break!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang …"
With another shout, countless crisp snapping sounds came from the underground world. The thick chains began to break, and at that moment, the ground under Xing Jue's feet began to tremble.
"Rumble ~ ~ ~ ~"
The rumbling became stronger and stronger, and the trembling became more and more intense. Countless tiny cracks spread out from under Xing Jue's feet like small snakes. It was as if the place was about to collapse.
"Haa ~ ~ ~ ~"
For Xing Jue to operate such a huge formation alone, he needed a lot of strength. At that moment, he could not afford to be distracted. Even if the place really collapsed, he had to persevere, because there was only one chance.
"Rumble ~ ~ ~"
It wasn't just the underground world that was shaking. The entire Hermit Peak was shaking. Not just the Hermit Peak, but the area thousands of miles around the Hermit Peak was also shaking violently. Countless deep cracks appeared, and some even began to collapse, creating deep pits.
"What's going on? What happened? "
Such an unforeseen event caused the disciples and elders of the Returning Peak to panic. They flew into the air and looked around, but all they could see was the dust rising from the ground. Apart from the rumbling, there was only the sound of the ground cracking and collapsing.
"Quick, quickly inform the Hierarch!" The inheritance elders began to shout in alarm.
"Whoosh."
Right then, a man descended from the clouds. He stood in the air and gazed down at the ground with a grave expression. That man was the Hierarch of the Returning Peak.
The Hierarch of the Returning Peak was guarding the mountain; he did not go out to search for Xing Jue. He had thought that some enemies had come to invade the mountain, but he noticed that the trembling seemed to be coming from the Returning Peak itself.
"Oh no, is it the Rakshasa Stone?!" A moment later, the Hierarch's eyes glowed. At the same time, indescribable shock spread across his face.
The Rakshasa Stone was the foundation of the Returning Peak. It was the Rakshasa Stone that allowed the mountain to stand for ten thousand years. The consequences would be unimaginable if something were to happen to the Rakshasa Stone.
With a flash of light, the Hierarch disappeared, heading toward the Rakshasa Forbidden Ground in the depths of the Tower.
