The reason why Wu Dong dared to smile mockingly when he passed through the dog hole was because …
It was because of Xie Tian's question, which the Hunyuan Immortal Sect members did not bother to answer, and because Xie Tian had muttered the words "old man".
These two things made him think of many things.
These things were ten thousand times more terrifying than all the heaven-defying things he had witnessed from Xie Tian combined.
These terrifying things made him feel endless fear, but they also gave him endless courage.
Calmness was born from calmness.
After he thought of these things, he felt that there was nothing else in the world that was worth making a fuss about or even frightening him out of his wits.
However, the words that came out of the skinny old man's trembling mouth easily shattered the confidence that he had just gained not long ago.
He could face Feng Po calmly, he could act like a boss in front of Deacon Fei, he could ignore the missions that Xie Tian randomly chose, and he could even do things that he did not dare to do in the past – he could boss around in front of the skinny old man who was in charge of the missions.
However, when the words "Burning Sun Valley" were given a new definition of the Demons' territory, he felt that even though he had too much courage, he could no longer maintain his composure.
The Demons' territory was an abstract but practical definition.
In the abstract aspect, it meant that it defined the ownership of a place …
In reality, it meant that it had truly become a forbidden place where one could only enter but not leave.
Was the Di Wind strong?
This method of weakening the overall strength of the Jiutian Universe by at least twenty percent was very terrifying.
However, this terrifying method was not even one ten-thousandth of the power represented by the words "Demons' territory."
Since ancient times, there were not many people who dared to walk around the Demons' territory and return safely.
There were still the Nine Emperors of the Nine Skies.
Before the Nine Emperors of the Nine Skies, it was said that the Evil Emperor had also gone there when he was traveling around the universe.
After that, Lu Feiyang went crazy and killed his way into the Demons' camp. He used his Daozu's physical strength to fight more than ten Demon Generals of the Demon Race, causing the demons to tremble in fear.
…
Every single person who had done such a thing had shone with indelible brilliance in the history of the Nine Heavens.
But that was all he could do.
Of the other creatures that entered the Demons' territory, only a few were able to walk out alive.
Therefore …
Although the skinny old man had added two words in front of the words "Demons's territory" that showed how terrifying the Scorching Sun Valley was …
But to Wu Kuang, these two words were the same as Deacon Fei's and could be ignored.
He was very regretful.
He felt that he was the most qualified to shoulder the heavy responsibility of acting cool that Xie Tian had lost.
But up until now, he hadn't even had the chance to show off before he was on the brink of collapse.
So he slowly shifted his gaze to look at Xie Tian.
He hoped to see the same expression on Xie Tian's face as he did, but the degree of shock would be many times weaker than his own …
Certainly not.
What he had was — 'I'm going to such an exciting place, so I have to go there even more, because there must be a lot of soldiers waiting for me to rescue there, and these soldiers are the excitement of military merit that I need the most.'
After thinking about it, Wu Dong forced himself to calm down and pulled Xie Tian out of the tent.
"What's wrong?"
"Well, Xie Shao, you may not know …"
"What do I not know?"
"Scorching Sun Valley …"
"I know. Heading west out of the Southern Heavenly Gate, there are thirty-three transportation arrays …"
"Not that, but the Scorching Sun Valley is now the Demons' territory!"
"Didn't that senior just say it?"
"But that's the Demons' territory!"
Wu Dong was a little mad, but he felt that his attitude was no different from courting death. He immediately took a deep breath and continued to persuade him in a euphemistic manner.
"Xie Shao, do you know what these words mean?"
"Well … it's not the territory of the Nine Heavens?"
"…"
The conversation could no longer continue.
What Wu Dong could do was to watch as Xie Tian walked into the tent and took back the token and storage ring, then followed him to the next transportation point.
Not long after the two left, many scavengers poured into the tent.
It was not that they found something wrong.
It was the shrieks of the skinny old man that attracted them.
When they entered the tent, the old man whom the scavengers respected was lying on the ground, his whole body curled up and trembling.
They were wondering what had happened, but the next moment, they saw the old man get up from the ground and slap himself.
"This old man is also stupid and muddle-headed. I can't even find out that I'm acting cool … What are you guys doing? Get out, get out … "
Because the old man was old, his reaction was a lot slower.
Perhaps he had seen pretentious people like Wu Dong …
But he was confused about one thing.
These pretentious people belonged to the category of soldiers, and the one who acted like a big boss in front of him was just a scavenger.
What right did a scavenger have to act cool?
Or rather, how could someone who dared to act cool be a scavenger?
After arranging the counter that he had messed up, the skinny old man curled up on the squeaky chair again and murmured as he rocked back and forth.
"It's not that I'm looking down on you two, I'm looking down on myself too … Heh, scavengers are despicable …"
The scavengers' camp soon regained its peace.
Meanwhile, the Hunyuan Immortal Sect's camp that had just been stirred up by the two pretentious criminals, Xie Tian and Wu Dong, became lively again after a short while.
Chu Mo's identity was extraordinary.
Since it was his first time entering the Human-Demon Battlefield, the nine elders of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect who were in charge of the South-Heaven Gate's camp decided to hold a banquet to welcome him.
The banquet was not big, but apart from the nine elders, only the elite disciples of the nine elders were qualified to attend.
Among the disciples, not everyone was a true disciple.
For example, Feng Po and the others were only Elder Mu's elite disciples. The only one who was qualified to inherit Elder Mu's teachings was Xun Song.
Due to their equal status, Xun Song was the most suitable person to welcome Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was a prideful person.
Furthermore, his pride was shown on the surface.
Xun Song knew this very well.
Coupled with the little thoughts in his mind, when he saw Chu Mo turn a corner and appear in his line of sight, his face revealed a joyful expression that made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
"Junior Brother Chu Mo, nice to meet you."
Chu Mo seemed to be absent-minded.
He only raised his head after hearing Xun Song's voice. He immediately smiled and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Xun Song."
After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Mo entered the side hall where the banquet was held under Xun Song's guidance. He bowed at the nine elders to thank them for welcoming him.
"There's no need to be so polite, Junior Nephew Chu Mo," Elder Mu said kindly, "Come, take a seat. The Old Man hasn't returned to the sect for many years, and he has many things to ask you."
When Chu Mo heard this, he nodded to the core disciples beside him before excusing himself and taking his seat.
