At the foot of a huge mountain, Tang Xuanji and the others stood in front of a silver stele that was more than thirty meters tall.
The silver stele was engraved with a large number of mysterious words. Due to the passage of time, some of the words were already blurred.
The white-robed old man had a silver jade scroll stuck to his forehead. He seemed to be reading a book.
"Zhenren Ziyang, Fellow Xuan Zhenzi, do you not recognize the words on it?" The golden-robed old man frowned slightly and asked Zhenren Ziyang and Xuan Zhenzi.
"This should be an ancient language. The Old Man doesn't recognize it, but I recognize the material of this stele. This stele should be made of silver jade. Silver jade is very resistant to corrosion. This stele should be mixed with other materials. However, there are already signs of weathering. This stele has existed for at least five thousand years," Zhenren Ziyang explained slowly.
"It doesn't matter how many years it has been. As long as there are Divine Spiritual Treasures here, it's fine," Xuan Zhenzi said disapprovingly.
"Found it. This is the Crimson Moon Language. It's the language of the Crimson Moon Clan from the ancient times. The Crimson Moon Clan was famous for their crafting skills. Later on, for some reason, they fell into decline and perished in the long river of history," the white-robed old man said excitedly as he removed the jade scroll from his forehead.
"Tell me, what is written on this? Is there a method to break the formation? "Xuan Zhenzi's face lit up with joy as he urged impatiently.
The white-robed old man nodded and looked at the silver stele.
"The meaning on this stele is that a powerful demon is suppressed here. Because this demon is so powerful, it can't be destroyed, so it is sealed here. There are a few treasures at the top of the mountain that are used to suppress this demon. Later generations are not allowed to trespass here, and are not allowed to break the formation to prevent this demon from wreaking havoc in the world," the white-robed old man said slowly.
"Hmph, so many years have passed. No matter how powerful that demon is, it has perished. Did it say that there are a few treasures here? Are they Divine Spiritual Treasures? Which Divine Spiritual Treasures are they? "The golden-robed old man's eyes lit up, and his tone was a little urgent.
The white-robed old man shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "It didn't say anything about that. However, the inscription on the tablet repeatedly warns us not to trespass into this place. Otherwise, we will have to bear the consequences."
"Hmph, so be it." The golden-robed old man disagreed.
"This mountain is so high. The treasure is at the top. Who knows how many restrictions there will be on the way up!" The white-robed old man said worriedly.
"Humph! As long as there really is a Divine Spirit Treasure at the top of the mountain, I don't mind spending a little more effort," Xuanzhenzi said nonchalantly.
The golden-robed old man nodded. Just as he was about to say something, his face suddenly darkened. He turned his head to look at the dense forest behind him and shouted, "Who is hiding there?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Zhenren Ziyang and the others changed drastically. Their faces were full of vigilance.
"If this lord wants to be sneaky, do you think you can find this lord?" A somewhat arrogant male voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as the voice fell, seven Yuanying cultivators strode out of the dense forest. The leader was Huang Yu.
"So it was you guys who broke the formation we set up!" The golden-robed old man's expression turned cold as he said coldly.
"Heh heh, you are wrong. There are also the people from Tai Qing Palace and Haoran Academy. Otherwise, we would not have been able to catch up so quickly." Huang Yu chuckled and said in a meaningful manner.
"What? There are also people from the Taiqing Palace and Haoran Academy? "The golden-robed old man's expression changed drastically as he said with some surprise.
The Imperial family had four late-stage Yuanying cultivators, three mid-stage Yuanying cultivators, and one Core Formation cultivator. It wasn't necessarily impossible for them to fight against the Devil Dao cultivators. If the Taiqing Palace and Haoran Academy joined in, they definitely wouldn't be a match for them.
"Hehe, there are a total of twelve Yuanying cultivators from the Taiqing Palace and Haoran Academy. The leader is that old nose Murong Ping. He even brought along a replica of the Three Purity Mirror, the Taiqing Mirror. Even this lord may not be a match for him. This lord wants to make a deal with Tang Daoyou. Let's work together to obtain the treasure and split it equally. If the Righteous Dao cultivators suddenly appear, we'll work together to deal with them. What do you think?" Huang Yu said with a faint smile.
"I want to know how you knew that we were here to obtain the treasure?" The golden-robed old man said with a cold expression, his eyes full of doubt.
"Hehe, this place was first discovered by us from the Ten Thousand Devil Palace. However, the restriction here was too strong, so we threw the clue to you and asked you to help us break the restriction. But we didn't expect that the Taiqing Palace and Haoran Academy would follow us in. There's definitely more than one Divine Spiritual Treasure here, so there's definitely enough for us to share. If we work together to obtain the treasure, our speed will be much faster. Otherwise, when the Righteous Dao cultivators arrive, we'll be in trouble."
"What? You deliberately threw the clue to us! We clearly found this clue in an ancient cultivator's cave! "Tang Tianming's expression changed as he said with some disbelief.
"Hmph, believe it or not, you only have two paths now. First, fight to the death with us and let the Righteous Dao take advantage of us. Second, cooperate with us to obtain the treasure and go our separate ways." After Huang Yu finished speaking, she opened her mouth and spat out a small black flag. It fluttered in the wind, and its size skyrocketed.
The small black flag was engraved with countless runes, which made people dazzled at a glance. It emitted a shocking wave of magic power, and there was a lifelike black ghost embroidered on the flag.
Huang Yu grabbed the black flag with her right hand and gently shook it. Countless black gas surged out and covered a small part of the void. At the same time, a gust of cold wind blew around, and the temperature suddenly dropped. From time to time, there were shrill cries of ghosts.
At the same time, the black-faced man and the others all took out their magic weapons, looking as if they would attack at any moment.
Seeing this, Tang Xuanji raised his palm, and a small golden umbrella flew out of it. It flew above everyone's head, opened, and spat out a golden light, covering Tang Xuanji and the others.
Zhenren Ziyang and Xuan Zhenzi had their hands behind their backs, and their faces were full of vigilance.
After a while, the old man in a golden robe laughed and said with a smile, "Okay, let's cooperate, but words are no guarantee. You have to leave your blood essence on the True Dragon Axis and swear not to attack us. If you break the promise, the True Dragon will devour you. Yuanying won't be able to escape."
With a shake of his sleeve, a glittering golden scroll flew out, and he cast a spell on it.
The golden scroll unfurled, and an extremely life-like golden dragon swam incessantly over its surface. There were many shimmering runes on the scroll.
"No problem, but you also have to leave your names on the Book of Heavenly Demons, so everyone can rest assured." Huang Yu immediately agreed before sweeping a sleeve through the air to release a streak of black light. The streak of black light then transformed into a thin piece of black paper that was around 10 feet in size. There was a sinister black ghost engraved on the paper, and a dozen or so shimmering silver names were flashing incessantly on the paper.
"We don't have a contract for you to sign. What if you plot against us after taking the treasure?" Zhenren Ziyang said with a cold expression.
"You don't have to sign it, but if you don't, I will immediately destroy you. Who knows if you will join forces with the Righteous Faction to deal with us?" Huang Yu's expression turned cold, and he spoke with a murderous aura.
"Fellow Qin, Fellow Xuan Zhenzi, just sign your names on the Book of Heavenly Demons! We are in-laws with you, so we will advance and retreat with you. If you delay any longer, the Righteous Faction will come, and that will be troublesome. "The old man in a golden robe raised his eyebrows and persuaded.
Zhenren Ziyang's expression was uncertain, and his lips moved a few times. Xuan Zhenzi hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay! Let's sign it. "Zhenren Ziyang let out a long sigh and agreed.
In this situation, if Zhenren Ziyang refused, the two sides would fight. In any case, he was in-laws with the Imperial family, and the Imperial family would definitely borrow his strength to resist the Devil Dao. In short, the two sides could maintain a certain balance.
The following matters were easy to handle. The Yuanying cultivators all used their blood essence to sign their names on the contract, and joined forces to break the formation.
