Outside the central region of the Exalted Divine Palace, Chu Xiu, Lu Fengxian, and the others showed a hint of doubt in their eyes. This was different from what Zhong Qiushui had described.
According to Zhong Qiushui, everyone would gather in front of the Exalted Divine Palace in the last ten days. After a series of battles, they would wait for the palace to open.
But what about the Exalted Divine Palace now? What appeared in front of Chu Xiu and the others was actually a stretch of fog, a deep and serene fog that devoured their senses. They could not see what was inside at all. This was a scene that Zhong Qiushui had not mentioned to them before.
Moreover, because the distance between them had shrunk, there were other cultivators not far away from Chu Xiu and the others. They were also hesitating in front of the fog, not knowing what was going on.
Clearly, this was the first time they had encountered such a scene.
"Is this a Demonic Ghost?"
Chu Xiu tried to release a strand of astral energy, but it immediately disappeared as soon as it entered the fog, cutting off their connection.
Shang Tianliang frowned. "If this thing is a Demonic Ghost, how large is the area it covers? It has directly enveloped the entire Exalted Divine Palace. A Demonic Ghost of this level is probably something only a peak Ninth Heavens Martial Immortal could handle, right? "
They had all encountered high-level Demonic Ghosts before. Apart from the Ghost General that could move freely, the other two Demonic Ghosts didn't cover too large an area, only the size of a village and a temple.
If a Demonic Ghost could cover the entire Exalted Divine Palace, how terrifying would it be?
"Don't go in yet. Let's circle around the Exalted Divine Palace and see if Elder Wei is here."
It was already the final moments of the Central Plains Contest, so everyone should have gathered here.
However, Chu Xiu and the others circled around the Exalted Divine Palace and saw many cultivators, but they still didn't see Wei Shuya. This made Chu Xiu's heart skip a beat as he had a bad feeling.
At the side, Mei Qinglian said, "Don't worry. When Old Wei was young, he had survived even more dangerous situations. In the battle of the Nine Heavens Mountain, there was no chance of survival, but Old Wei still survived. It will be the same this time."
Lu Fengxian also said, "I also believe that Elder Wei will be fine. My intuition is quite accurate."
Lu Fengxian's words were somewhat comforting to Chu Xiu. His intuition was really accurate.
However, if he had known that this would happen, he would have asked Master Yuan Ji to perform a divination before he came here.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Chu Xiu.
"Brother Chu, you're all here. Why don't I see Brother Lu?"
Chu Xiu turned around and saw Yin Lingzi. He had come with Fang Yizhen and Xu Guishan of the Three Pure Palace.
"Brother Lu has no intention of participating in the final battle for the Exalted Divine Palace, so he should be cultivating in a safe place."
Chu Xiu cupped his hands in greeting to Fang Yizhen. "Brother Fang, we meet again."
Yin Lingzi was surprised. "Senior brother Fang, you two know each other?"
Fang Yizhen chuckled. "No discord, no concord. I still have to thank Brother Chu for not killing me."
Fang Yizhen pointed to Xu Guishan. "This is senior brother Xu Guishan, the direct disciple of our Three Pristine Temple's Dao Master."
Chu Xiu and the others subconsciously raised their eyebrows when they heard this word.
The title of the Dao Master's personal disciple, no matter where it was, was exceptionally dazzling. To put it bluntly, even if you brought a dog over and said that it was the Dao Master's personal disciple, people would still think that it was the Howling Sky Divine Hound.
The Daluotian didn't have the Dragon and Tiger Storm Sovereign List like the lower realms, so no one could say for sure who the strongest Daluotian expert was.
But the publicly acknowledged strongest experts were only a few, such as the Heavenly Treasure Temple's World Sovereign, the Three Pristine Temple's Dao Master, and the Sanskrit Sect's Sect Master. Among these people, the one most likely to be the strongest Daluotian expert was the Dao Master.
Xu Guishan nodded at Chu Xiu and the others, but didn't say anything else.
Fang Yizhen said apologetically, "Please don't take it to heart, my senior brother has always been like this."
Xu Guishan wasn't arrogant. Rather, he was indifferent. He was extremely indifferent towards most things. Chu Xiu had only surprised him slightly when he had attacked Xin Jialuo.
"That's right, Brother Fang, do you know what's going on with this fog?"
Fang Yizhen scratched his head. "Before we came, the ancestral master said that there would be some changes in the struggle for the Exalted Divine Palace. You can say it's good or bad, but it's different from usual. How you choose and how you deal with it will be up to you."
Xu Guishan said indifferently, "The Exalted Divine Palace is opening about twenty to thirty years ahead of schedule. That already explains a lot.
It's just that those Monster Ghosts have stirred up some trouble again.
The Exalted Divine Palace is right at the center. If they can't even pass through this fog, they naturally don't have the qualifications to enter.
That's good too. With this layer of fog, we can filter out quite a few people trying to pass through. "
After saying this, Xu Guishan stepped into the fog without the slightest hesitation.
Fang Yizhen shrugged, seemingly helpless about Xu Guishan's personality, but he still stepped into the fog.
Lu Jiang He rubbed his chin. "Who is this guy trying to pass off as? This bunch of cow-noses speak so strangely. It's like their eyes are growing on top of their heads. "
Only after saying this did Lu Jiang He realize that Yin Lingzi was also present. He hurriedly said, "Little Daoist Yin Lingzi, please don't take offense. I wasn't talking about you."
Yin Lingzi smiled. "It's fine. This Little Daoist's nose isn't that big, so of course I won't take it personally."
"Daoist Yin Lingzi, are you not going to enter?" Chu Xiu asked.
Yin Lingzi shook his head. "The final struggle for the Exalted Divine Palace has no place for this Little Daoist. There's no point in forcing my way in. I've already seen the Central Plains and can't enter the Exalted Divine Palace, so why take the risk? There's no point in forcing things that you can't get. "
Yin Lingzi's personality was in line with the Daoist doctrine of peace and inaction. He didn't fight for things, and he didn't force things.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, if you don't fight for something in the Jianghu, you will definitely be at a disadvantage. But for Yin Lingzi, even if he didn't fight for something, no one would be able to take it away from him.
Chu Xiu looked at Lu Fengxian and the others. "What about you? Are you going to enter? "
Mei Qinglian shook her head. "I've already stepped into the Profound Understanding realm. There's no point in entering. I can't possibly become a Martial Immortal in one go, right?"
Lv Fengxian also said, "I'll also wait here. If Old Wei doesn't come over from behind, we can also provide support here."
Shang Tianliang nodded. "I'll guard here with these two kids. Experts with the strength of half-step Martial Immortals and Martial Immortals will definitely choose to enter the mist. I will guard here. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will be able to deal with them. "
After everyone entered the fog, Shang Tianliang, a half-step Martial Immortal-level existence, was practically undefeatable. With Shang Tianliang there to protect Chu Xiu, no matter how many people Chu Xiu had offended, he would not have to worry about anyone coming to cause trouble for him.
Lu Jiang He thought for a moment. Then, he said, "If you all guard here, I'll go with Chu Xiu. That way, we can look after each other."
He didn't have any thoughts about the Exalted Divine Palace. Furthermore, with his strength, although he wouldn't die easily, it was unknown whether Chu Xiu would look after him or he would look after Chu Xiu after entering the mist.
That said, he was still brooding over what Xu Guishan had said about people passing off fish eyes as pearls. He was the grand Demon Exalted Bloodsea. Why would he need to pass off fish eyes as pearls?
While they were chatting, many cultivators had already entered the mist. For example, the two half-step Martial Immortals from the Sword Sect, Yan Zhifei and Yi Guixie, as well as Exalted Primal Yang's faction, Ouyang Sheng and the others, all entered without hesitation.
The Exalted Divine Palace only opened once every several decades. They had already come this far. If they still chose to shrink back, it would be a joke.
Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He didn't waste any time either. They directly stepped into the mist.
However, when they stepped into the mist, the scene that appeared before them astonished them. It surpassed their imaginations.
What appeared before Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He was a towering city. The city walls were several hundred meters tall, and they were all built with black stones.
Moreover, the sky and earth here were extremely dark. It was completely different from the misty feeling of the outside world. There was an oppressive feeling, as if black clouds were pressing down on the city.
Chu Xiu looked behind him. There was no mist behind them. Instead, there was only endless darkness. He could sense it with his perception, but he couldn't find the end.
"It seems that Xu Guishan was right. This place was probably created by a Demonic Ghost."
Lu Jiang He couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "A Demonic Ghost can create such a large domain? What level is this Demonic Ghost at? "
Although Lu Jianghe had killed quite a number of Demonic Ghosts, the area covered by those Demonic Ghosts was extremely small. Even the illusions of some low-level Demonic Ghosts were very crude, and he could easily see through them.
However, he couldn't see the end of the city. Just how powerful were these Demonic Ghosts?
When Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He arrived at the city gates, they discovered that there were actually people guarding the city gates. Moreover, there were two Malicious Ghosts guarding the city gates.
They had green faces and sharp fangs. They had two horns on their heads, and their lower bodies were like those of a spider with eight legs. They looked extremely evil.
Seeing Chu Xiu and Lu Jiang He walk over, the two Malicious Ghosts guarding the gates said, "If you want to enter the City of the Wronged, you'll have to pay for your life first!"
Seeing these two things, Lu Jiang He subconsciously wanted to attack, but he was stopped by Chu Xiu.
"Look at what's hanging on the city walls."
Lu Jiang He looked up and saw a head hanging on the city walls. Moreover, this head was somewhat familiar. It was one of the two Rogue Cultivators who had besieged them with Xu Jiang. Although the other side wasn't too strong, he was still a peak Heaven and Earth Profound Opening realm existence.
