The group moved stealthily through the lush primeval forest. They were silent and fast, like eagles flying close to the ground. The complicated mountainous environment did not affect them at all.
Two hours later, the group had traveled more than a hundred kilometers. Finally, they stopped in front of a tall mountain peak.
There were many traces of construction around this area. On the surrounding mountain walls, there were newly built plank roads, observation platforms, and even entertainment facilities. Clearly, they had already arrived at the tourism development area contracted by the Blue Ocean Group.
"The people of the Ghost Lair have used tourism as a cover, but in reality, they have built a huge sacrificial altar in this mountain peak. The Ghost Lair, which has been peaceful for decades, seems to be unwilling to be left alone. It is going to be another troubled time."
Pei Fengwu looked at the mountain peak in front of her and sighed slightly. Her status in the Huatian Palace was different from the ordinary Executors. She knew some things that others did not. The seemingly peaceful land of Hua Xia would no longer be peaceful.
"Is this really a land of darkness?"
Mo Wen looked around and asked in surprise. Everything was normal. He did not find any place with an excessive amount of Yin Qi.
"The land of darkness is deep under the mountain peak. It is difficult for ordinary people to find it. However, it is not difficult for the people of the Ghost Lair to find such a place," Pei Fengwu explained.
She looked at Mo Wen with some surprise. Normal ancient martial art practitioners would not be able to discover the Land of Haze. Even if they stood in the Land of Haze, they would most likely not be able to sense it. How did he determine that the Land of Haze was not on the surface?
"Since the land of darkness is not on the surface, you mean that the Ghost Lair dug a passageway that leads underground?" Cai Yan asked in surprise.
"That's right. Follow me."
Pei Fengwu nodded and ran around the mountain peak for a distance. Then, she found a cave hidden in the grass and trees. After examining it carefully, she was the first to enter.
When everyone saw this, they all followed behind her. The cave was very deep and went straight underground. The group of people ran for a thousand meters and still could not see the end.
However, the marks on the walls around the cave were very new. It was indeed a passageway that had been dug not long ago.
Mo Wen frowned. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. They had been walking in the passageway for so long, but they had not found a single person from the Ghost Lair. Logically speaking, since the Ghost Lair had gone through so much trouble to build the sacrificial altar, they must have taken it very seriously. Even if the passageway was not heavily guarded, there would at least be a few people guarding the passageway. However, there was not a single person along the way.
"Something's wrong."
Mo Wen suddenly stopped in his tracks and said with a slightly serious expression. From the beginning to the end, he did not discover any Baleful Yin Qi. Logically speaking, even if the Baleful Yin Qi was hidden underground, it was impossible for them to not notice it at all since they were so deep underground. Even if a little Baleful Yin Qi leaked out, he would be able to notice it.
"You noticed it too?" Pei Fengwu also frowned slightly. She stopped and did not walk forward.
"Could the information be wrong? Is this not the place where the Ghost Lair is building the sacrificial altar?" Cai Yan asked.
"Although the Huatian Palace's intelligence might not be accurate, the probability of it being wrong is not high, unless …"
Pei Fengwu's expression darkened. Unless this had been a trap from the start, and the Ghost Lair had purposely sent out false information to trick them. Although it was not easy to deceive the intelligence personnel of the Huatian Palace, the Ghost Lair was different. They had some tricks up their sleeves that could deceive the senses of ordinary people. It was clearly fake news, but they could make others believe it as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
"What do we do now?" a member of the Fengwu team asked.
"Retreat!"
Pei Fengwu said decisively. Since the information was wrong, then it was very likely that all the other information was false as well. If this was a trap, then it was very likely that they would all be wiped out. This kind of thing had happened before in the Huatian Palace.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Huatian Palace Executors. You are indeed very quick-witted. Since you are already here, then there is no need for you to leave."
A strange laughter suddenly sounded in the cave. It kept reverberating, causing one's hair to stand on end.
However, the members of the Fengwu team completely ignored the strange laughter. One by one, they became a series of afterimages and quickly ran toward the cave entrance. They did not panic and remained calm in the face of danger, displaying very strong individual qualities.
"As expected, the people of the Huatian Palace do not know how to learn from their mistakes. You actually only sent a small team of people here. There is not even a single Seven stars Executor. Could it be that after being the boss for so many years, you no longer have any respect for us? "
The voice spoke unhurriedly. Following his words, the surrounding cave suddenly distorted strangely. Hence, the people who were running toward the cave entrance discovered that the scene in front of them had changed. It was as though they had traveled through time and space, directly disappearing from the passageway and appearing in a huge underground karst cave.
"This is not good. We have fallen into the opponent's psychedelic stratagem from the beginning. That passageway is fake."
Pei Fengwu's expression changed slightly. She suddenly realized that the process of running in the passageway before was very likely just an illusion. They had unknowingly fallen into the Ghost Lair's psychedelic stratagem.
"Stratagem techniques."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Fengwu team all inhaled a cold breath. Although they had been in the Huatian Palace for many years and were influenced by what they saw and heard, they definitely did not have the ability to go against the stratagem.
"All of you are quite knowledgeable. It is a pity that the Huatian Palace cannot nurture all of you into immortal cultivators. It is already very good to be able to produce two or three every year. Fortunately, with this restriction, the Huatian Palace is much easier to deal with. "
In the underground karst cave, a few beams of black light flashed. Three men in black robes suddenly appeared in front of them. Although there were only three of them, the aura on each of them was enough to make one fearful.
All three of them, without exception, had Golden Elixir realm cultivation. The aura that they inadvertently released was enough to suffocate an ancient martial art practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm.
Many members of the Fengwu team inhaled a cold breath. With just these three people, they would most likely be able to annihilate their team. According to the intelligence of the Huatian Palace, there were no strong practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm here. Even if there were, there would at most be one in the Golden Elixir realm. However, at this moment, three had appeared.
"How many immortal cultivators can the Huatian Palace nurture every year? To nurture immortal cultivators from ancient martial art practitioners! "
Mo Wen's pupils constricted. He seemed to be completely unafraid of the three people's Golden Elixir realm cultivation. He took the initiative to take a step forward and stared at the three of them as he spoke. To him, being able to nurture ancient martial art practitioners into immortal cultivators was too important. He had always been pursuing the path of immortals, but he had not succeeded. Even with Ji Wuya's inheritance, he could not change this reality.
Now, however, he knew that the Huatian Palace could nurture immortal cultivators from ancient martial art practitioners every year. How could he not be tempted?
"You actually don't know?" The man in black robes in the middle looked at Mo Wen strangely. He laughed strangely and said, "The Huatian Palace really likes to hide things. Young people with outstanding talents like you have the most hope of obtaining the opportunity to transform, yet you actually don't know anything about it."
"Lad, although I am not an immortal cultivator, nor am I a member of the Huatian Palace, I also know that the Huatian Palace will select a batch of people with outstanding talents every five years. They will have the chance to enter the Creation Pool. Once they successfully transform into immortal cultivators in the Creation Pool, it will be like a carp leaping through the dragon's gate. In the future, their immortal cultivation talents will be so high that they will even surpass most of the geniuses who were originally immortal cultivators. Unfortunately, there are only a few people who can pass the test and successfully transform in every batch. Otherwise, we really wouldn't dare to be enemies with the Huatian Palace. "
The three men in black robes seemed to understand the Huatian Palace very well. They seemed to know many things that the Huatian Palace Executors didn't know like the back of their hands.
"Is there really such a thing?" Mo Wen looked at Pei Fengwu. A glint of passion flashed in his eyes. If he could embark on the path of immortal cultivation, with his two lifetimes of experience and Ji Wuya's inheritance, who could stop him in the future?
"Yes, but it is very difficult."
Pei Fengwu had only said a few words briefly. From her tone, one could tell that it was very difficult to transform from an ancient martial art practitioner to an immortal cultivator.
"Even Sister Fengwu might not be able to succeed. Don't even think about it." Shangguan Qingyou coldly glared at Mo Wen. He had high ambitions but little ability. He was only in the Embryonic Breathing realm, yet he dared to covet that supreme creation.
"It's not just that brat who can forget about it. All of you can forget about it. Today, all of you will die here. If we can kill a few more geniuses of the Huatian Palace, it will be a great merit. Who knows, if the lord is happy, he will reward us with the opportunity to cultivate immortal cultivation."
A man in black robes laughed cruelly. His sinister voice echoed in the cave and lingered for a long time. When it fell into the ears, it could actually evoke negative emotions in people, causing them to inexplicably become restless.
Facing three strong practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm, everyone felt suffocated. Under normal circumstances, they were basically no match for them.
"I will stop them. You guys find a chance to break through."
Pei Fengwu took a deep breath. Suddenly, she put on a pair of powder blue gloves. Layers of starlight flowed from the gloves, looking magnificent. From that pair of gloves, there was a frightening pressure. Just a glance at it could make one's heart palpitate.
"A profound level weapon!"
A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. The powder blue gloves were a complete profound level weapon. It was a treasure that even immortal cultivators might not be able to obtain. It actually appeared on an ancient martial art practitioner. Even a profound level weapon of the lowest grade was far stronger than a spiritual weapon.
With a profound level weapon, coupled with Pei Fengwu's Cultivation, she could almost not be afraid of strong practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm.
"The Huatian Palace is really willing to give you good stuff." A man in black robes stared at the profound level weapon in Pei Fengwu's hands. His eyes were full of greed.
"None of you can think of leaving here alive."
The man in black robes in the middle laughed coldly and directly pounced towards Pei Fengwu. In their eyes, the only one who had the ability to resist was Pei Fengwu. Once she was killed, the others were naturally nothing to worry about.
"Cai Yan, the Splendid Mirror is with you. You are in charge of leading everyone out of the psychedelic stratagem. Once you are out of the range of the psychedelic stratagem, immediately escape far away and send a distress signal to the Huatian Palace," Pei Fengwu said hurriedly.
Pei Fengwu said hurriedly. Then, she started fighting with the man in the black robe. The moment they came into contact, a gust of wild wind swept across the ground. Many people in the Embryonic Breathing realm could not stand steadily. It could be seen how intense the fight was. (To be continued.)
