It was the Maoshan Sect.
"The Great Ancestor has given the order. The first three sects will each take five people to Jianghai City, and we'll make our move on August 15th," a guardian with a sunny face said plainly. He was one of the two guardians of the Maoshan Sect, Guardian Yang.
In the Maoshan Sect.
Aside from the Great Ancestor, the two guardians were of the highest status.
The Great Ancestor and the two guardians were usually training in isolation, yet Guardian Yang had emerged from his isolation.
"Understood," the sectmasters of the first three sects replied.
"The middle three sects, take 30 soul hunters, 30 battle corpses, and 1,000 Maoshan disciples. Come with me to take out the remnants of the Witchcraft Sect," the guardian with a sunny face said plainly.
"Understood," the sectmasters of the middle three sects replied.
"The rest of the sects, bring your guardian beasts and be on the lookout for North Korean fighters," the guardian with a sunny face gave another order.
"Understood," all the sectmasters of the other sects replied in unison.
"There are too many troublemakers this time around. Not only are there remnants of the Witchcraft Sect, but there are also grave robbers, archeologists, and people from other smaller sects and clans. While those people aren't all that powerful, they outnumber us. Be careful, everyone. Make sure nothing happens, or none of us will be able to answer to the Great Ancestor," Guardian Yang said coldly.
The guardian was personally leading the expedition, which showed just how much the Great Ancestor valued the expedition.
The treasures of the Witchcraft Sect.
That was a huge amount of wealth, and countless treasures were to be found there.
While the Maoshan Sect had many formidable fighters, those treasures and materials had all been used to nurture those fighters over the years. As such, the sect's resources were almost depleted. The sect had sent people out to search for resources over the years, yet the resources they found were few and far between.
The opening of the Witchcraft Sect's treasures was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Maoshan Sect. If they were to get their hands on those treasures, the powers of the Maoshan Sect's great ancestor might have grown yet again. Once the Great Ancestor's powers grew, resources would no longer be a problem.
The Maoshan Sect was determined to get their hands on the treasures of the Witchcraft Sect.
While they were nominally there to take out the remnants of the Witchcraft Sect, their true objective was still the treasures.
Xiatian and the others got off the plane and hired a GL8, which was just enough for all five of them.
"Are you guys going to see that wonder?" The driver was used to chatting with the passengers on the way.
"What spectacle?" Xiatian Asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's the legendary spectacle on the night of the full moon. I've heard that on the night of the full moon, the moon will shine through the fog and you'll see the real Tianchi Water Monster. Recently, the number of tourists in Tianchi has increased by ten times," the driver explained.
"There's such a thing? Then we'll have to take a good look. "Xiatian nodded.
"Changbai Mountain usually has a lot of tourists. When people hear that there's such a spectacle on the night of the full moon, it's like they've gone crazy. If you go now, you won't be able to find a place to stay nearby. Moreover, the things there are sold very expensive." The driver said kindly, "You'd better bring some food and water before you go up. Otherwise, the things inside will cost a lot."
"Oh, thanks for the reminder." Xiatian smiled.
After driving for about five hours, they arrived at Changbai Mountain. After arriving at Changbai Mountain, Xiatian and the other four followed the crowd on the main road. Now was not the time to act. There were still two days until August 15th, so there was no need to rush. Moreover, it was still daytime.
If they were to head into the Changbai Mountains now, they would definitely be stopped by someone.
There were a lot of guards around.
When they arrived, Xiatian realized how many people there were.
It was a sea of people.
"Let's go and see the scenery." Xiatian looked at the crowd and said.
When they arrived at Changbai Mountain, Xiatian realized how beautiful it was. Half of Changbai Mountain was Huaxia's territory, and the other half was North Korea's territory. In ancient times, this was all Huaxia's territory. Later on, for the sake of international friendship, Huaxia gave half of Changbai Mountain to North Korea.
North Korea also added a political myth to this place, claiming that it was the place where President Kim Il Sung was born and fought.
"Boss, Changbai Mountain has different sceneries throughout the year. Moreover, there are different sceneries at different times." Han Zifeng decided to act as a tour guide.
"Oh, how are the mountains here formed?" Xiatian looked at the endless mountain peaks around them.
"Dormant volcano! Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano, "Han Zifeng explained.
"I heard that there are Heavenly Lake Water Monsters in Changbai Mountain. Is that true?" Xiatian Asked again. Hearing Xiatian's question, Sky Thief also looked up at Han Zifeng because they had heard of this matter before. However, no one knew if it was true or not.
"It's true, but the pictures circulating online are fake. The people here use them to attract tourists," Han Zifeng explained.
"Oh? There are actually water monsters with needles! " Xiatian was slightly taken aback. He used to think that it was a lie, but he didn't expect something like water monsters to really exist. After all, such things were too close to legends.
It was unbelievable.
"Of course there are. Heavenly Lake is shrouded in fog all year round. Moreover, it is often cloudy and rainy here. You can only see Heavenly Lake at certain times from July to September. Therefore, this place is very suitable for the survival of some special creatures." Han Zifeng was a member of the Witchcraft Sect. He had grown up here, so he knew this place very well. "Actually, a few of the water monsters here are our Witchcraft Sect's divine beasts and Mao Mountain's divine beasts. However, our divine beasts have disappeared since the battle. Of course, there are some other monsters here. I once saw an Earth Stage expert being instantly torn apart by a monster."
"That's so powerful. Doesn't that mean there are battles in Heavenly Lake all year round?" Xiatian was slightly shocked when he heard that an Earth Stage expert would be torn apart.
"No, the monsters in Heavenly Lake don't attack each other. They seem to follow some kind of law and are very peaceful. They live in their own territory and don't cross the border. Even if they do, they will ask for the permission of the local water monsters. However, those water monsters can cross the border at the same height, but they don't dare to go deeper. Our Witchcraft Sect's records say that the deeper the water below Heavenly Lake, the stronger the monsters are. Even our Witchcraft Sect's Old Ancestor ran back not long after he dove down," Han Zifeng explained patiently.
"That's so powerful." Xiatian remembered the voice in Shennongjia. It was a voice that almost killed him.
"Yes. Even our Witchcraft Sect's Divine Guardian Beast doesn't dare to enter. Moreover, after they return, they won't say anything about the Serpentine Lake. They won't even tell our Witchcraft Sect's Old Ancestor," Han Zifeng said.
