Once they entered the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, the invisible pressure became even clearer.
"This feeling …" Yixie muttered, "It's familiar!"
"What's wrong?" Su Yun asked.
"I feel the aura of the Void Dragon," Yixie said.
"Void Dragon? What's that? "It was Su Yun's first time hearing this term.
"It's a very powerful creature. You'll know about it in the future." Yixie didn't say anything else.
"Could it be that the Void Dragon's aura caused the Heaven-Seizing Sword's reaction?" Su Yun asked.
"It should be," Yixie's voice was heavy, "Remember not to act rashly when we reach the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range."
"Yes, of course," Su Yun said solemnly.
Their figures flickered, and after traveling for about two hours, they actually saw some activity.
"Have we arrived …" Huan Chen and Su Yun hadn't been to the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range before, so they knew very little about this place.
"Soon. This area is full of tame high-level spirit beasts. There are many Quicksand Mercenaries around," Yao Seventeen said.
The Quicksand Mercenaries were formed ten years ago by twenty capable men from the Quicksand Mercenaries who were tasked with a top-secret mission and were sent to Soran Castle. Therefore, the rest of the Quicksand Mercenaries didn't know much about the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.
"The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range is the habitat of the Ancestor Beast. The four leaders live on the Crouching Dragon Peak beside it. They are in charge of the affairs of Soran Castle, the Flaming Moon Empire, the Donghua Empire, and the Frost Empire. Their subordinates fight for themselves and live in different areas of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. Our First Leader lives here."
They were east of the Crouching Dragon Peak. No one paid special attention to Su Yun's group because this place was like a paradise. It was difficult for outsiders to enter. Moreover, they didn't live here for long. They only came back because of the Coiling Dragon Ritual.
"Let's wait here for the Coiling Dragon Ritual to begin," Yao Seventeen said.
Under normal circumstances, there were no more than a thousand people in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. Most of them were core members of Quicksand and lived on Crouching Dragon Peak. But this time, according to Su Yun's estimation, there were no less than twenty thousand people on the east side of Crouching Dragon Peak.
Fortunately, the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range was huge and could accommodate people from all sides, so it was not crowded.
"I just heard that the Coiling Dragon Ritual will be held a day later. I'm afraid that there will be even more people from Quicksand gathering here tomorrow," Huan Chen said.
"I'm sure Big Brother and the others have already gone back to beg for forgiveness. We don't have to worry about the Soran Castle anymore. From now on, we'll just live a carefree life in Quicksand," Yao Shiqi shook his head and sighed.
Su Yun wasn't interested in any of this. Just as he was thinking of a way to separate from the two, Yao Shiqi continued, "I'm going to look for an old friend. You guys can do as you please."
"Take care, Brother Shiqi." Su Yun and Huan Chen cupped their fists together. Huan Chen's eyes showed a hint of reluctance. After all, they had gone through life and death together. There was a special feeling in his heart.
"Okay," Yao Shiqi replied and turned to leave.
Huan Chen and Su Yun had some disagreements before this, so the atmosphere between them was a little awkward.
"Big Brother should be at Crouching Dragon Peak right now. I'm going to look for him. You take care too," Huan Chen said indifferently. Huan Chen was the number one favorite of the Quicksand Mercenaries' leader. Under his influence, he naturally had some understanding of Quicksand.
"Okay," Su Yun replied casually as he watched Huan Chen leave.
"Now, we can start moving." Su Yun pondered for a moment. He wanted to familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain and see if he could gather any useful information.
Just as Su Yun was about to move, his heart tightened.
"Something's not right! It seems like I've been targeted! "Su Yun remained calm on the surface, but his heart was on high alert.
Su Yun sat down cross-legged and calmed his heart. His spiritual sense silently spread out.
After a while, the corner of Su Yun's mouth curled up.
"Huan Chen … it seems like you haven't given up yet." Huan Chen's vigilance was too high. Even now, he was still on guard against Su Yun.
Huan Chen's departure was fake. He was actually hiding in the shadows to observe Su Yun. If it weren't for Su Yun's superior spiritual sense, he wouldn't have been able to detect Huan Chen's actions.
Su Yun sat cross-legged and adjusted his state of mind to the best possible state before standing up.
Huan Chen still hadn't left. Su Yun ignored him and began to wander around the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.
The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range stretched for tens of thousands of miles. Quicksand gathered at the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range and the Crouching Dragon Peak.
"The main peak is the Crouching Dragon Peak. Thirty miles away is the Coiling Dragon Mountain. When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of people will gather there." The Crouching Dragon Peak was guarded and ordinary Quicksand members were unable to go up. Su Yun stopped here.
Su Yun stopped here for a while and looked up at the Crouching Dragon Peak, thinking about his next move.
However, in the eyes of others, he was like a devout believer looking up at the God in his heart.
After a long time, Su Yun finally left.
Along the way, Su Yun met many people. The members of Quicksand were all ruthless bandits. Although they were all from Quicksand, they didn't know each other and didn't have any good intentions.
Su Yun didn't want to attract attention, so he chose to stay away.
The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range was even more heavily guarded. No one was allowed to enter within ten miles. From afar, Su Yun could see a stone staircase leading to the top of the mountain. At the entrance of the stone staircase, there were also many burly men guarding it.
At the end of the stone staircase, there seemed to be a cave entrance. It was as dark as ink and gave off an unfathomable feeling.
"This aura …" Feeling a faint pressure, Su Yun couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Hum …" A vibration came from the storage bracelet. Fortunately, only Su Yun could feel it.
"Heaven Seizing Sword!" Su Yun was shocked. He used his spiritual sense to calm the restless Heaven Seizing Sword.
"There is an extremely powerful spiritual beast hidden in the Coiling Dragon Mountain. It looks like it's about to wake up from its slumber!" Yixie's voice sounded. Su Yun heard an unprecedented seriousness in his voice.
"Coiling Dragon Mountain, Coiling Dragon Mountain. The spiritual beast hibernating here should be the eighth rank Coiling Dragon that Xia Luokui mentioned." Su Yun said in a heavy tone.
"An eighth rank spiritual beast isn't inferior to a Spiritual Emperor. If it evolves …" Then it would be able to dominate the Southern Border!
No wonder even the students of Aoran College couldn't sit still. However, how could they be so confident in handing such an important mission to him?
Yixie … Heaven Seizing Sword … Forbidden area …
Lu Chen probably already knew about this.
"The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range is boundless. It's easy to retreat." Su Yun casually flashed around the Coiling Dragon Mountain.
After half a day, Su Yun didn't find anything special because Huan Chen was following him.
"Let's rest here for the night." Su Yun found a large tree and sat cross-legged under it. Soon, his breathing became even and spiritual energy slowly spread out from his body. It looked like he had entered a state of cultivation.
After a long time …
Su Yun slowly opened his eyes. "He finally left."
The extremely weak aura in his spiritual sense gradually faded. Huan Chen had followed him for so long without finding anything and finally chose to retreat.
"The cave at the top of the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range is a bit strange. Don't go in carelessly." Yixie's voice sounded.
"Yes, the aura inside is very dangerous." Su Yun was already on guard.
At night, the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range was dotted with sparks. Even at night, there were still many Quicksand cultivators moving about.
Su Yun sat cross-legged and cultivated. He felt that he was about to break through, but he couldn't grasp that fleeting feeling.
"I can't force it. The time has come. Let nature take its course." Su Yun sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
… …
The next day, more and more spirit cultivators gathered at the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. Su Yun felt that something was slowly forming in the sky above the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.
"The Coiling Dragon feeds on air, its claws soar on the clouds …" Su Yun muttered as the Heaven Seizing Sword trembled slightly.
"It's not easy to make a move in front of so many people." Su Yun's eyes were filled with worry.
"Yixie, how confident are you?" Su Yun asked.
At this moment, Yixie seemed to be more concerned than him, which was why he asked this question.
"I have a forty percent chance of obtaining the Black Dragon Pearl. If I don't use the Intermediate Teleportation Scroll, I only have a thirty percent chance of escaping." Yixie said.
Su Yun frowned. Yixie's current strength was definitely not inferior to a Late Stage Spirit King Realm expert. Even so, he was powerless against hundreds of thousands of Quicksand cultivators.
"This is the probability if the Coiling Dragon Ritual proceeds normally." Yixie added.
What he meant was …
"Think of a way to muddy the waters, then … fish in troubled waters!" Su Yun's heart skipped a beat.
"Quicksand isn't as monolithic as you think. After so long, haven't you noticed anything strange?" Yixie seemed to have a card up his sleeve.
"You're saying that some of them are like me, sneaking in to cause trouble?" Su Yun said in shock.
"Not a small number." Yixie said.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yun said again, "I'm afraid that the leaders of the Crouching Dragon Peak have also thought of this."
"So, they must have their own countermeasures." Yixie was like a strategist at this moment. "Then, the waters must be muddy!"
"When the time comes, you can take the opportunity to make a move. You'll definitely succeed!" Su Yun continued.
"That's …" Yixie had just blurted out when he realized that something was wrong. This kid was setting a trap for him!
"Hmph, you're thinking too simply!" Yixie snorted.
"For such an important matter, they will definitely make many layers of preparations to ensure that everything is safe." Su Yun's Spirit Qi sighed.
"It's good that you know. If you're too simple-minded, you might just die here." Yixie said.
"Looks like I still have to do something in advance." Su Yun took two steps forward.
"That guy hasn't fully awakened yet. Let's make a trip to Coiling Dragon Mountain tomorrow." Yixie said.
"The defenses are so tight. I'm afraid we'll be discovered before we even get close." Su Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Don't give me that." Yixie's tone seemed to have seen through everything. "When the time comes, I'll cooperate with you."
Su Yun's lips curled. It looked like Yixie was indeed more concerned about this.
An anxious thought came from the Heaven Seizing Sword. When Yixie disappeared, it quickly calmed down.
