"Stop!"
Du Shaofu raised his hand and signaled for everyone to stop. He looked at the sky in front of him. The vast and majestic mountain range was terrifyingly quiet.
Black fog lingered in the mountain range. It emitted a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble.
"Swoosh …"
Du Shaofu's figure floated in mid-air. He frowned as he looked at the sky in front of him. The black fog in the depths of the mountain range was getting thicker and thicker. It was as if a dark cloud was occupying the sky.
"Chi chi …"
Occasionally, there would be flashes of lightning within the thick black fog, adding to the strangeness of the scene.
With the sharp power of his Essence Spirit, Du Shaofu knew that this was probably not a good place.
As Du Shaofu leaped into the air, Dong Lidiao, Shi Tou and Lin Weiqi also leaped into the air. They looked at the black fog in front of them and frowned. Lin Weiqi's eyes rippled. She opened her red lips and said, "There seems to be people in front."
"There are quite a few of them. Everyone, be careful."
Du Shaofu softly said. He had already peeked into the depths of the mountain range in front of him. There were quite a number of figures faintly discernible. Accompanied by the noise, there were likely thousands of people.
This made Du Shaofu feel a little strange. In this place, everyone was on guard against each other. Once they met, they would tacitly avoid each other. He did not expect so many people to gather here. It seemed that something had happened in front of them.
"Swoosh swoosh …"
After which, everyone spread out and headed towards the depths of the mountain range. Since so many people were gathered here, there must be something special about that place.
After a while, the Seven Star Hall's people arrived at the mountain range in front of them. Thousands of people gathered together. Their respective formations were somewhat guarded.
"It's the Seven Star Hall's Weapon Emperor, Qiao Feng."
Many young men and women's eyes rippled when they saw the Seven Star Hall's disciples. No one stopped Du Shaofu and the rest from approaching.
Du Shaofu stepped forward. Hundreds of figures had gathered on top of a mountain in front of him. A voice rang out, "Everyone, I'm sure you all know that the monster inside is extremely strange. It's different from all the other monsters. I'm afraid it's not very possible for anyone to deal with it alone."
Upon hearing the voice, Du Shaofu's eyes immediately lifted. He followed the direction of the voice and looked over, only to see a handsome young man wearing a blue long robe on the mountain top in front of him. He was currently talking to the people around him.
That figure was the Profound Talisman Sect's Guo Ming.
"It's Guo Ming."
Du Shaofu was surprised. He didn't expect to see Guo Ming here. Since Guo Ming was here, perhaps Zhu Xue would be here as well.
Du Shaofu's gaze swept across the crowd, and a beautiful woman appeared before his eyes. She had a slender figure and wore a long dress. She was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, and her entire body was filled with elegance.
The woman stood there quietly and did not speak much. Her eyebrows were curved and her face was as white as jade. Her face was as beautiful as the morning sun, and there were slight dimples on her cheeks. For some reason, she had an aura of elegance.
"Zhu Xue."
Du Shaofu's eyes slightly lifted. Although he hadn't seen her for a few years, he could still recognize that beautiful woman. She was Zhu Xue, whom he had met in the Barbaric Beast Mountain Range.
Over the years, Zhu Xue's cultivation had improved at an astonishing rate. Although she wasn't the kind of beauty that could cause the downfall of a country, her peerless beauty was enough to cause ripples in the hearts of countless men.
"From the looks of it, there seems to be a frightening Evil Spirit inside."
Du Shaofu's eyes peered into the depths of the mountain range. There was a frightening aura that pervaded the air. Even ordinary Evil Spirits didn't dare to approach this place. This place was too strange.
"This demonic creature is really frightening. It's too powerful."
"Many people have already fallen in the hands of that demonic creature. Ordinary Martial Emperors can't escape."
"It's said that the demonic creature's cave is filled with multicolored light and energy fluctuations. There are definitely many treasures inside."
"… … …"
The surrounding crowd whispered and discussed. Du Shaofu and the disciples of the Seven Star Hall moved forward. From the crowd's whispers, they could roughly understand the situation.
It turned out that in this mountain range, someone had discovered a large number of treasures. However, there was also a frightening demonic creature inside.
No one knew what this demonic creature was. However, as long as someone had barged in, no one had been able to come out alive.
It was said that there were Martial Emperors who had entered and never came out again.
"That demonic creature should be very frightening. However, there are also countless treasures inside the demonic creature's cave. As long as you can kill that demonic creature, you can obtain countless treasures. Who knows, there might even be an ancient expert's inheritance and Celestial Artifacts."
Guo Ming stood on a huge rock at the top of the mountain and looked around. His words were extremely provocative.
Hearing Guo Ming's words, the surrounding thousands of people immediately whispered and went into an uproar.
An ancient expert's inheritance and Celestial Artifacts. To cultivators, these were absolutely irresistible temptations.
"Even if any one of us were to join forces, I'm afraid that we won't be able to do anything to the demonic creature. We won't be able to obtain any treasures. Therefore, I would like to invite everyone to join forces with my Profound Talisman Sect to eliminate the demonic creature. When the time comes, we'll split the treasures equally." Guo Ming continued.
The demonic creature was powerful and had terrifying strength. No one would be able to obtain the treasures alone. Naturally, everyone understood this principle.
However, there were also many people who knew that it was impossible for them to truly believe the Profound Talisman Sect.
None of the young men and women who were able to enter this place were simple people. The Profound Talisman Sect's words were pleasant to hear. However, if they really obtained the treasures in the end, how could the Profound Talisman Sect split them equally? At that time, who would dare to ask for things from the Profound Talisman Sect?
Seeing that there were people who were doubting them, the expressions of many Profound Talisman Sect's disciples changed.
They wanted to go and kill that demonic creature. However, in order to reduce the casualties of the Profound Talisman Sect, they could only rely on the strength of an alliance.
If these people before them didn't go, the Profound Talisman Sect wouldn't dare to go alone. It was said that the demonic creature's strength was absolutely terrifying.
"Everyone, I know that everyone is worried. How about this, we can first make an agreement. First, we'll form an alliance to deal with the demonic creature together. In the end, the treasures will be split equally according to the amount of effort we put in. My Profound Talisman Sect will absolutely not deceive others. I can guarantee this with the reputation of my Profound Talisman Sect."
Guo Ming looked at the crowd. Naturally, he knew what they were thinking. He smiled faintly and continued, "Second, during the period of our alliance, no one is allowed to attack their companions. Otherwise, my Profound Talisman Sect will not let you go."
Hearing Guo Ming's words, many people in the crowd lowered their heads and discussed. They looked at each other in dismay. However, many people began to raise their hands to vote in agreement.
With the reputation and strength of the Profound Talisman Sect, it was natural for people to believe in their guarantee.
With the strength of the Profound Talisman Sect, it was enough to make people believe in them.
Only a few dozen people seemed to be worried that the demonic creature would be difficult to deal with. They left on their own accord, unwilling to participate in this matter.
Seeing that almost everyone had agreed, Guo Ming breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze swept across the crowd and landed on the formation of several hundred disciples of the Seven Star Hall. The expression in his eyes changed slightly. He lowered his head and said something to the disciples of the Profound Talisman Sect.
"Swoosh swoosh …"
Immediately, the gazes of many disciples of the Profound Talisman Sect pierced through the crowd and landed on Du Shaofu and the other disciples of the Seven Star Hall.
Astonishment appeared in the eyes of some people. The strength displayed by the Weapon Emperor Qiao Feng on the Divine Lightning Mountain Range had also shocked them.
Zhu Xue stood at the front of the Profound Talisman Sect disciples. Her beautiful eyes slightly moved as she looked at the youth wearing purple soft armor in the crowd. After sizing him up for a while, she shifted her gaze away.
"I didn't expect that the Weapon Emperor of the Seven Star Hall, Qiao Feng, would also come. Looks like our alliance this time is even more foolproof."
Guo Ming jumped down from the boulder and walked towards the crowd. The crowd on both sides parted until he arrived before Du Shaofu. He said, "Welcome to the Seven Star Hall's Weapon Emperor Qiao Feng and the rest of you."
Guo Ming clearly knew that the Weapon Emperor Qiao Feng and some of the disciples of the Seven Star Hall were extremely powerful. If they could join, they would naturally have a higher chance of victory.
Du Shaofu looked at Guo Ming in front of him. At this moment, he was unable to reveal his true identity. He could only bitterly smile inwardly. Soon after, he smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to doing things alone. You can go look for demonic creatures, and so can I. It's fine as long as we don't interfere with each other. What do you think?"
Du Shaofu's gaze swept across the surroundings. He took in everyone's cultivation. At this moment, the majority of the several thousand people around him were Martial Kings and a small number of high ranked Martial Marquises.
As for Martial Emperors, there seemed to be only two or three people in the Profound Talisman Sect. However, Zhu Xue's aura was so well-hidden that no one could detect it.
Among the several thousand people, even if they were to form an alliance, the Profound Talisman Sect would be the strongest.
Since the demonic creature was so powerful, ordinary people would not be able to fight against it.
Du Shaofu estimated in his heart that once the battle started, these temporary allies would definitely scatter once they realized that they were no match for the demonic creature. They would not be able to withstand a single blow.
If he were to form an alliance with these people, he would not be able to gain any advantage. He would only be at a disadvantage.
However, after hearing Du Shaofu's words, Guo Ming was instantly stunned. He could only bitterly smile.
Many of the Profound Talisman Sect's disciples in front were surprised when they heard this. The Profound Talisman Sect had extended an olive branch to the Seven Star Hall, and Guo Ming had even personally invited them. They did not expect the Seven Star Hall to not give them any face.
Du Shaofu looked at Guo Ming and nodded. Then, he swept his gaze across the Profound Talisman Sect's disciples, Zhu Xue. He said to Lin Weiqi, Dongli Diao, Shi Tou, and the others behind him, "Let's go and take a look."
"Hmph, don't think that you can be so shameless after dealing with a small Divine Light Court. My Profound Talisman Sect is not something that the Divine Light Court can compare to."
An indifferent voice came from the Profound Talisman Sect's formation. It was a young man in a loose robe, who looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He was tall and had an extraordinary aura.
However, this young man looked at Du Shaofu and the others in the Seven Star Hall, and the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain. He said, "Since you don't want to form an alliance, you should leave on your own. We will deal with the demonic creature inside. If you want to fish in troubled waters, you should leave as soon as possible."
"Bullsh * t, does this place belong to your Profound Talisman Sect? Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, then wipe out all the evil spirits in this sealed ancient land."
Dongli Diao looked at the young man from the Profound Talisman Sect who had just spoken. He did not have a good temper. He said in a deep voice, "The Seven Star Hall will deal with the demonic creature in front. If you don't want to go, then you can leave on your own. We don't know who will fish in troubled waters."
"You're courting death!"
Hearing Dongli Diao's words, the young man's face suddenly turned gloomy. His eyes flickered with coldness as he stared at Dongli Diao.
"The peak of the Martial King Realm. Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, then come and try. I'll destroy you anytime!"
Dongli Diao sneered. His battle robe fluttered in the wind. The patterns on his cloak were like a phoenix spreading its wings. The corners of his mouth curled up into a proud smile. An aura of a Beast Emperor swept out.
Within the sealed ancient land, he couldn't use any external power. As the main body of the Cloud Piercing Phoenix Blood Condor, Dongli Condor didn't fear anyone on the same level as him. Of course, other than a freak like Du Shaofu, he was an exception.
Therefore, Dongli Diao did not put the Martial King Realm cultivator of the Profound Talisman Sect in his eyes.
"Boom!"
As Dongli Diao's Beast Emperor Realm aura rippled, the young man from the Profound Talisman Sect's face turned completely ugly. His handsome face turned green and red. He knew that he could not resist the Beast Emperor Realm aura.
"Forget it, let's go."
Du Shaofu gestured to Dongli Diao. His gaze swept over the Profound Talisman Sect's young man, who had an ugly expression on his face. His eyebrows twitched. Although many years had passed, Du Shaofu was still able to recognize that young man. He was Chen Yan, who was with Zhu Xue and Guo Ming in Savage Beast Mountain Range a few years ago.
"Hmph."
Seeing Du Shaofu's signal, Dongli Diao withdrew his aura and let out a deep snort.
Although Dongli Diao was not the strongest person in the Seven Star Hall, his Beast Emperor Realm aura was definitely one of the strongest among his peers in the Nine Great Forces.
Moreover, they were in the sealed ancient land. Dongli Diao had a huge advantage.
"The Seven Star Hall has no intention of forming an alliance. Let's act alone."
Zhu Xue said. She looked at the young man in the soft armor and felt a little puzzled.
"Junior Sister Zhu Xue …"
Chen Yan's face turned pale and he seemed to want to say something.
"I said, let's act alone. Do I need to say it again?" Zhu Xue looked at Chen Yan indifferently and ignored him.
"Let's go."
Du Shaofu gestured and stepped forward. The disciples of the Seven Star Hall walked through the crowd. The crowd dispersed and looked at the disciples of the Seven Star Hall as they entered the depths of the mountain.
"Forming an alliance with the people of the Profound Talisman Sect will be a great loss. Those people are just a motley crew. Once they encounter a tyrannical demon spirit, they will immediately disperse."
Sun Wu said on the mountain path filled with black fog.
"Young Hall Master, are there really treasures here?"
Wu Ma Sheng asked Du Shaofu. In the past two months, he had seen what it meant to hunt for treasures. As long as the Young Hall Master said there were treasures, he would definitely not return empty-handed.
"There are quite a lot of treasures, but everyone has to be careful."
Du Shaofu's expression turned serious. The aura here made Du Shaofu feel strange. It was very different from the aura in other places.
"There are corpses!"
Stone's voice rang out. In the valley filled with black fog, several corpses appeared.
"A huge chapter. The remaining chapters are still being written, but it will be updated very late.
