"I'm afraid that we'll die in this strange place before we reach it!"
Some people were worried. Not long ago, they had over two hundred people, but now, only twenty or so were left.
If not for their good luck, they would not have been able to withstand the danger.
Hearing this, many people hung their heads in dejection.
Everyone knew that the next time they encountered danger, they would not be as lucky as the previous times if they were not so lucky.
"That Demon King Du Shaofu and the others should also be going forward. If we can follow them, we'll be safe!"
Said a fat middle-aged man, his eyes shining as he looked at the mountain in the distance. If they could follow the Demon King Du Shaofu, they would definitely be safe.
"Forget it. Why would that Demon King care about us? We don't want to provoke him!"
Some people shook their heads. They were only a group of people from a small faction and loose cultivators. Their cultivation was far inferior to the Demon King's.
In the eyes of the Demon King Du Shaofu, they were just nameless pawns.
Why would the great Roc Emperor, the Demon King Du Shaofu protect them for no reason and bring them along to be a burden?
Hearing such words, many people were secretly disappointed.
"Whitebrow Hermit, didn't you always say that you and the Demon King Du Shaofu were brothers?" A middle-aged man looked at an old man in the crowd and raised his eyebrows.
Hearing this, everyone's gazes fell on the old man.
The old man's hair was gray, and even his eyebrows were white.
Hearing this, the old man's face twitched. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Back in the divine domain, I did indeed have a brotherly relationship with the Roc Emperor. He even called me Elder Brother!"
This white-haired and white-browed old man was Whitebrow Hermit. Back in the divine domain, he had interacted with Du Shaofu.
Whitebrow Hermit had long entered the Heavenly Fiend Battlefield and his luck had been pretty good.
Not long ago, before the Eternal Tomb opened, Whitebrow Hermit saw Du Shaofu in the crowd.
However, at this time, the Demon King Du Shaofu had already soared into the sky like the sun. His fame shook the world, and he was no longer the immature youth from God's Domain.
The white-browed hermit wanted to go forward and greet him, but he held back. He knew very well that the difference between him and the youth was too great. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The grand Roc Emperor, the young clan leader of the Golden-Winged Great Rocs, a Nirvana Grandmaster, how could he remember this old fellow? He had probably forgotten about him long ago.
"Haha, Demon King Du Shaofu called you Elder Brother Whitebrow. What a joke. Who do you think you are, Whitebrow? Do you think your Heaven's Will Sect is one of the Nine Great Clans? You overestimate yourself. If the Heaven's Will Sect is nothing, then what are you?" The middle-aged man who had just spoken sneered. He looked at Whitebrow Hermit with suspicion and disdain.
"I'm speaking the truth. Many people who were in the divine domain back then can attest to it." Whitebrow Hermit said firmly. He was not lying. This was the truth.
However, at this moment, Whitebrow Hermit's position in this group of people was very low. His words did not carry much weight.
"A mere Heaven's Will Sect dares to speak so highly of themselves."
The middle-aged man looked at Whitebrow Hermit with disdain and contempt. He sneered and said, "It's easy to prove yourself. The Demon King Du Shaofu is right in front of you. Go and see if he will call you Elder Brother. I'm afraid he won't even bother with you. Haha."
"I …"
Whitebrow Hermit's face twitched. Although his cultivation was not high, he had lived for so long and had never done anything dishonorable. He was upright and upright. When had he ever been thought of in such an unbearable manner? This was a humiliation to him and to Heaven's Will Sect.
However, Whitebrow Hermit knew that whether it was Heaven's Will Sect or himself, they were nothing compared to these people.
Although the Demon King Du Shaofu was right in front of him, it was as Whitebrow Hermit had said. With the current disparity between them, the Demon King Du Shaofu might have long forgotten about him.
"Since you look down on us, you can go and seek refuge with others. There's no need for you to stay with us!"
An old man who stood at the front of the group spoke. He cast an indifferent glance at the white-browed hermit.
"That's right. Our small temple can't accommodate a great Buddha. Let's go to the big temple." A middle-aged man with a gloomy face said.
These people did not think highly of Whitebrow Hermit in the first place. With Whitebrow Hermit's cultivation and strength, he would only be a burden if he stayed with them.
Whitebrow Hermit looked at the group of people. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his twitching face. However, there was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in that smile.
"Haha …"
Whitebrow Hermit laughed loudly and said, "I, Whitebrow, know that I'm not strong enough. I won't disturb you guys any longer."
Whitebrow Hermit did not force them. These people clearly wanted to chase away some burdens. He did not want to squeeze his way in. It could be considered as him preserving his last bit of dignity and pride.
"Whoosh whoosh …"
Suddenly, there was the sound of air being torn apart in front of them. Many figures flew in a straight line from the top of the mountain. With a few leaps, they landed in front of the group of people.
This group of people was mainly composed of young people. Every single one of these young people was divine and extraordinary. They were all invisibly dazzling existences.
In the lead was a purple-robed young man. He had a resolute face. His black hair flowed to his shoulders. His eyes were so bright that no one could look straight at him.
There were also many women. They were all peerless beauties. They were devastatingly beautiful and could charm all living things.
There was no fluctuation of aura from these people. However, the formless aura that permeated the air caused everyone's legs to tremble involuntarily. Their Primordial Spirits felt like they were about to freeze.
"Demon King … Du Shaofu!"
An old man was trembling. His lips were trembling. The Demon King, Du Shaofu, and the others had actually arrived in front of them.
Whitebrow Hermit's face was blank. He looked at the familiar figure. The aura caused him to tremble. It shocked him even more.
At that moment, Whitebrow Hermit was filled with anticipation. After all, the infamous young man who had shocked the world had arrived in front of him.
However, at the same time, Whitebrow Hermit told himself deep in his heart that with the young man's current status and identity, there was already a world of difference between them. It was not strange that he had forgotten about him.
"Brother Whitebrow."
When the familiar voice echoed in Whitebrow Hermit's ears, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He felt as if electricity was surging through his body.
The familiar purple-robed young man had called him Brother Whitebrow. Whitebrow Hermit could not help but tremble.
For some reason, the White-Browed Hermit felt like bursting into tears.
That ferocious and awe-inspiring youth who illuminated the world hadn't forgotten him. He still called him elder brother.
"Big … Roc Emperor …"
Whitebrow Hermit's lips trembled. His body trembled, and he looked emotional.
"Brother Whitebrow, you don't have to be so polite. You're treating me like an outsider. Just call me Little Brother."
Du Shaofu smiled. He had arrived here the moment he saw Whitebrow Hermit. He had met Whitebrow Hermit in the Divine Dominion. Du Shaofu could not forget him.
'You have a lot of enemies. The Heaven Saber Sect and the Dragons are all terrifying. However, if you meet an enemy now, I, Whitebrow Hermit, will not be careless.' Du Shaofu still remembered those words. He was still moved.
"Alright, Brother Shaofu, I …" Whitebrow Hermit's voice trembled.
He gradually regained his senses. He was so emotional that he did not know what to say. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"This place is very dangerous. Brother Whitebrow, why don't you come with us? We can take care of each other," Du Shaofu said to Whitebrow Hermit.
"Alright, alright, alright."
Whitebrow Hermit said 'alright' three times in a row. A brilliant smile appeared on his face. At that moment, he was feeling extremely happy.
Then, Du Shaofu, Jiangchen, Feng Han, and the others left. From the beginning to the end, they did not even look at the people around them.
Whitebrow Hermit did not look at those people again. He followed behind them. He waved his sleeves, his white hair, and his white eyebrows fluttered.
"… … …"
The surroundings were completely silent. The twenty or so people were as silent as cicadas in winter. Under that kind of aura, everything in their bodies froze. They were unable to regain their senses even after a long time.
"Whitebrow Hermit really does have a close relationship with the Demon King, Du Shaofu!"
After a long time, someone said this.
The Demon King, Du Shaofu, had called Whitebrow Hermit 'Brother'. How deep was their relationship?
Hearing this, the faces of the people who were most hostile towards Whitebrow Hermit twitched violently. Their expressions were extremely unsightly.
… … …
"So you're saying that you haven't encountered the skeleton army?" Du Shaofu asked Whitebrow Hermit.
From White-Browed Hermit, Du Shaofu learned that White-Browed Hermit and company had encountered many dangers along the way, but they had not encountered the terrifying skeleton army.
Du Shaofu had clearly seen Whitebrow Hermit's group come from the direction they had encountered the skeleton army.
"No … …" Whitebrow Hermit shook his head.
Seeing Whitebrow Hermit shake his head, Feng Han pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that not only will people quietly separate, but the dangers and dangers inside will also change at any time."
Du Shaofu took a deep breath and looked at the towering colossus before him. He said to everyone, "Be careful. Continue forward. At least we're getting closer and closer to that place."
Everyone continued forward, heading towards their destination.
"There's something strange up ahead."
Just as everyone was about to leave the valley, Feng Han sighed and looked ahead. He seemed to have discovered something.
Hearing Feng Han's words, Du Shaofu, Jiangchen, and the others stopped in their tracks. However, the place ahead was very calm. There was nothing strange about it.
"It's just up ahead," Feng Han continued, his gaze fixed ahead.
Du Shaofu's expression changed slightly. In this strange place, his mind was useless and his pulse spirit couldn't be used. He hadn't discovered anything, but he believed in Feng Han.
"Everyone, be careful."
Du Shaofu indicated that those who weren't strong enough shouldn't follow too closely in case something unexpected happened.
"I'll go take a look!"
As soon as Feng Han said this, he leapt off the ground.
Du Shaofu, Jiangchen, and the others glanced at each other and followed.
