On the cliff, the 3 men looked at each other. It was not their first time meeting each other, but every time they met, they would avoid each other.
When they met for the first time, they all had the same goal. They could feel the killing intent from each other, so they knew that there was no conflict between them.
But even so, due to their respective identities, the three of them still maintained an attitude of not interacting with each other for the rest of their lives. At this moment, Gabri finally could not take it anymore.
His furious gaze swept across the faces of the two Eastern powerhouses. The Spiritual Qi in his entire body had already gathered, and he was ready to fight or escape at any time. After all, there were 2 Venerable Ones in front of him, and they were both from the eastern world. Therefore, he was naturally prepared for the worst.
"Your Excellencies, if I'm not mistaken, you're also here for He Yiming, right?" Gabri asked in a deep voice.
The 2 men in front of Gabri were masked with black scarves, but judging from their figures, movements, and the light-body technique they used, they were definitely genuine Easterners.
One of them was dressed in black from head to toe. He stood in the shadow of a mountain wall and seemed to have become one with the scenery around him. That person's aura was gloomy and strange. Even Gabri dared not underestimate him.
Similarly, the other person was also dressed in black and was masked with a black scarf, but there were some golden threads embroidered on his clothes. Furthermore, he stood under the sun with his head held high and his chest puffed out. He had an awe-inspiring aura, which formed a sharp contrast with the other person's gloomy aura.
After hearing Gabri's words, the black-clothed man under the sun said loudly, "That's right, I'm here for He Yiming. I want to take his life and his weapon."
The black-clothed man was Great Elder Li, who had discussed He Yiming with Yu Wuchang in Town Gold City. He was masked with a black scarf, but he disliked the dark, so he would rather stand under the sun than hide.
The masked expert hiding in the shadows was naturally Ding Liyin of the Yellow Spring Sect. Although he had long become a Venerable One, it was difficult to change the personality that had been cultivated since childhood. That was why he was used to staying in the shadows. He was like a venomous snake that chose its prey. It was fine if it didn't strike, but once it did, it would definitely hit.
At this moment, when he saw Gabriel and Grand Elder Li looking at him at the same time, he frowned slightly and said, "I've come for He Yiming as well, but I only want his life."
Gabriel snappily said, "Since you also want to kill him, why are you stopping me?"
Ding Liyin remained silent, while grand elder Li laughed out loud. "Sir, you're wrong. We only came up to take a closer look, not to disturb you."
Gabri chuckled. He didn't believe the other party's words, just as the other party didn't believe him.
Although they were existences that had transcended the secular world, the dignified Venerable One naturally could not lower himself to the level of ordinary Eastern and Western civilians. Even so, their wariness of each other only deepened.
"Your Excellency, if I were to step forward when you were fighting with him, I wonder what choice Your Excellency would make?" Gabriel suddenly asked.
Grand Elder Li sneered. "If you dare to step forward, I'll kill you too."
Gabri was so furious that he laughed. "How arrogant …"
Grand Elder Li was disdainful. "If you're not convinced, you can try."
As one of the grand elders of Great Shen's imperial family, his attitude toward Westerners was naturally the worst. He even directly challenged them at this moment.
Gabriel's eyes blazed with anger. Just as he was about to recklessly attack, he heard Ding Liyin, who was hiding in the shadows, say: "If the two of you fight here, I'm afraid that He Yiming will really escape."
Grand Elder Li shook his head. "That's impossible. He has a murderous aura on him. Once he enters Crying Ghost Ridge again, he'll definitely attract 'it's' attention. Once 'it' wakes up, no one will be able to survive."
Although he did not mention who "it" was, the Venerable Ones present understood tacitly.
Ding Liyin shook his head. "Sir, please forgive me for saying something unpleasant, but I don't think He Yiming will attract 'it's' attention."
Grand Elder Li was slightly stunned. Even Gabri looked over in surprise.
"He Yiming must have some sort of mystical item on him that allows him to come and go as he pleases in this situation." Speaking to this point, his gaze swept over Gabri, whether intentionally or not.
Grand Elder Li came to a sudden realization. "That's right. If that wasn't the case, how could he have stayed here for more than a month without going mad?" Grand Elder Li rolled his eyes. He was also a smart person, so he immediately understood what was going on after Ding Liyin's reminder. He could not help but laugh. "Why don't we join forces?"
Based on He Yiming's strength, he was naturally not qualified for the 3 of them to join forces. However, Crying Ghost Ridge was huge, so it was impossible for a single person to watch over everything from the periphery. As long as He Yiming left from a direction that was not guarded, the 3 of them would be helpless.
However, if the 3 of them joined forces, the situation would be entirely different.
Based on their surveillance range, if they split Crying Ghost Ridge into 3 parts on the cliff, there was a high chance that they would discover He Yiming's tracks.
Gabri pondered for a while before he asked, "If we capture He Yiming and interrogate him, how should we split the loot?"
"The 3 of us will each get a share," Grand Elder Li answered without any hesitation.
Gabri was unwilling, but he knew it was the best choice. If they fought on their own, the possibility of finding He Yiming would be too low.
He nodded hard and turned to ask, "What do you think, sir?"
Ding Liyin uttered coldly, "I agree."
"Okay, in that case, I'll be in charge of the direction of the Central Plains." As soon as Grand Elder Li finished speaking, he left in a flash.
His swift and decisive approach greatly surprised the other two, but they looked at each other and also split up to take action. Given the powers of the 3 Venerable Ones, if He Yiming still managed to escape, they would be too ashamed to face anyone.

He Yiming, who was inside Crying Ghost Ridge, naturally did not know that the 3 powerful Venerable Ones had joined forces outside.
In his opinion, given their statuses, it was impossible for them to join forces to deal with him. At most, they just happened to be there at the right time. That said, his mind was not on that at the moment; he was completely immersed in the atomized Five-element Ring.
The moment He Yiming's hand grasped the Five Elements Ring, the incomparably powerful True Qi within his body began to surge violently into the ring.
The thin layer of the Five-element Ring immediately began to atomize and poured into his body in the opposite direction. This was a process of mutual exchange, and it was precisely because of this process that the Divine Soldier's weapons could be absorbed into his body and become a part of it.
Although He Yiming's essential Qi was massive, it was still far from being able to melt the Five-element Ring. If he wanted to succeed, the only way was to slowly cultivate day after day and melt a little bit every day. Then, after a year and a half, he would be able to completely atomize the Five-element Ring.
However, there were enemies outside at the moment, and he did not have that kind of leisure time. Therefore, as long as it was possible, he wanted to complete this process in the shortest time possible.
There was a unique innate condition in Crying Ghost Ridge, and that was the extremely dense Qi of the universe here, which was far from what the outside world could compare with.
He Yiming's essential Qi poured into the Five-element Ring without reservation. Every inch of the Five-element Ring was like a gully that could not be filled. After all his essential Qi had poured in, he could barely fill up about half an inch of the ring. Then, under the guidance of his essential Qi, the half-inch Five-element Ring turned into a mist.
Under normal circumstances, He Yiming would have to rest for at least a day after reaching this step, so that he could continue to operate and refine. However, at this moment, He Yiming had no intention of stopping at all.
The skylight on the top of his head seemed to be expanding, and endless Qi of the universe poured into it like a tide.
Along with the boundless Baleful Yin Qi, all the power passed through his meridians and entered his Dantian. Then, through the magical power of his Dantian, it turned into He Yiming's essential Qi and poured into the Five-element Ring again.
With the Qi of the universe in Crying Ghost Ridge as his backing, He Yiming's essential Qi was endless.
His entire body and mind were already immersed in it, and he no longer had the slightest bit of distraction.
Crying Ghost Ridge, a place that everyone was afraid of, had become the best place for He Yiming to cultivate.
Nevertheless, in this world, only He Yiming, who had such a special physique, could cultivate in such an unscrupulous way.
If it was outside Crying Ghost Ridge, even in the Blessed Enclave, it was impossible to maintain such an intense consumption of Qi of the universe for a long time.
However, within the Crying Ghost Ridge, there was an endless amount of Yin Qi. The Evil Qi was so harmful to the human body that it was unparalleled. In the world, not to mention humans, even among spirit beasts, only the supreme spirit beast on the top of the mountain could ignore the Evil Qi.
Therefore, He Yiming's helplessness under forced circumstances actually allowed him to take the most important step.
He had forgotten about time, the 3 Venerable Ones outside Crying Ghost Ridge, and the giant spirit beast on top of his head.
He only knew that inhalation, conversion, input, atomization, and fusion.
This process seemed to have become his instinct, and it was repeated without stopping.
Ten days, an entire ten days, in front of He Yiming, the Five Element Ring became smaller and smaller, and smaller and smaller … (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
