Next to a pool the size of a normal basketball court, but no one knew how deep it was.
Three groups of people were in three different directions, facing off against each other.
Streaks of greyish-white aura were slowly moving around on the surface of the pool, like venomous snakes slithering around quietly.
If you stay away from it, it won't find you; if you get too close to its hunting range, you'll be in big trouble.
If a normal person got too close, they might be corroded into a pile of bones.
From the scattered bones beside the pool, one could tell how powerful the greyish-white aura was.
The three groups of people facing off against each other were all within its hunting range.
However, the greyish-white aura automatically avoided them as soon as it got close, as if it was not afraid of them, but as if it had encountered its own kind.
Among the three groups of people, there was a group of people, mostly Caucasians, who were clustered around a black cat with an arrogant expression.
Another group was led by a young Caucasian man in a black cape and a charming Caucasian woman.
The last group was not really a group, because there were only two people, both of them were burly men about two meters tall.
These three groups were Tom the Black Cat and his subordinates, the Heliotrope Claude and his sister Claudia, and the Russian Necromancer Valery and his assistant cum bodyguard Alex.
They did not speak, and only looked at the deep pool.
After a while, a smile appeared on Claude's pale and cold face.
"Let's quickly decide who's going to enter the pool first? It seems like an old opponent is already outside. Although it's impossible for him to come in here, it'll be a big problem if he stays outside. The sooner we decide who's going to be the arcane realm's master, the better. "
As he spoke, he pointed his finger, and the greyish-white aura above the pool circled in the air, then displayed an image.
"Vigilante A, why is he everywhere?" Tom frowned when he saw the young man who was looking around for something in the image.
In the past, it would rush to wherever the other party was.
However, this time, it wished that the other party could get as far away as possible, so that he wouldn't disturb Sir Tom's plan to become the arcane realm's master.
Tom the black cat agreed. "Brother Ke is right. I, Tom, am the spokesperson of the God of Death. This Undead Realm is fated with me. It seems that I should be the first to enter the pool."
Claudia sneered, "Hmph, Mr. Tom is the spokesperson of the Grim Reaper, not an Eastern monk. Don't you think it's funny to talk about fate?"
Tom the Black Cat's eyes flashed with a cold glare as it glanced at the woman.
With its current Lake-level strength, it could easily suppress the entire scene. However, it did not move because it knew that it could not simply move at that moment.
Seeing that she had suppressed the black cat, Claudia was extremely pleased with herself. Then, she swept her gaze over the two Russian men.
"Elder Brother is right. Dragging it out is not a solution. Mr. Tom, why don't we join hands and get rid of the other party first? Choosing one out of two is much easier than choosing one out of three. "
Valery and Alex heard this and looked at each other. Both of their faces turned red.
Alex angrily cursed, "You bunch of freeloaders! The opening of this Arcane Realm was all thanks to us! Now you want to chase us out?! "
Valery was equally indignant. "That's right. We were the first to discover this Arcane Realm. Both of us worked overtime for three whole months to get the train ticket for the Spectral Train. That's how we managed to enter this Arcane Realm.
"You're well-informed and smart. You sneaked in behind us when the train stopped. Logically speaking, we contributed the most. Naturally, we should be the first to enter! "
Claude smiled. He was not ashamed. Instead, he was proud of it.
He calmly said, "There's a saying from the East that goes, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.' Those who work with their brains rule others, those who work with their muscles rule others. You can only blame yourselves for being stupid! Idiots should be at the back of the queue. "
Valery was angry and hateful. He was speechless.
He said resentfully, "You want to chase us away? Damn it. We can't defeat you, but don't think you'll have it easy either! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the giant black hammer that he used to resurrect and store ghouls and pointed it at the pool.
Whether it was the black cat or the Ke siblings, a hint of nervousness flashed across their faces.
The greyish-white aura on the pool suddenly became chaotic, as if they could sense the presence of a threat.
Everyone's eyes turned cold when they heard that. He was talking about the key point of the confrontation between the three parties.
This pool was nurturing a source of Yin energy. Whoever was recognized by it would be the master of the arcane realm.
Most of the creatures in the process of nurturing were exceptionally fragile. It could be said that a little external disturbance could cause them to develop into abnormalities in the future!
All of them belonged to the evil side. The techniques that they cultivated leaned towards the Yin attribute, which made them exceptionally compatible with the source of Yin energy. All of them were qualified to become the master of the arcane realm.
The Heliotropes stayed underground all year round. They did not see the light of day and were often accompanied by death.
Tom the black cat was the spokesperson of Death, so it had the highest chance.
The two Russian men were tall and strong. One was a necromancer and the other a curse sorcery. Both of them were related to death, so they had a good chance as well.
Once they became the master of the arcane realm, they would be able to advance and retreat freely.
Previously, Lei Tian fell into Ren Ruofeng's trap. He was a belligerent person, so he was tricked by his own cultivation technique. That was why he lost a good hand.
He did not know that no matter how powerful Ren Ruofeng was, it would take him eight to ten years to calculate the vitality passage to the arcane realm.
With this time to develop, the master of the arcane realm would have become powerful long ago.
None of the three parties here were battle maniacs like Lei Tian.
On the contrary, apart from being related to death, they had one thing in common.
…
At this moment, Tom the black cat frowned deeply. It glanced back and forth between the two parties, trying to solve this dilemma.
It thought to itself, 'As long as Sir Tom becomes the master of the arcane realm, I must hide and not stand out no matter how much provocation I receive.
'As long as I have three to five years, I can advance to the Inland-Sea, or even Ocean-level …'
With such a huge benefit, it seemed like it could give up some important things in exchange for the chance to be the first to try.
The Ke siblings looked at each other, thinking, 'As long as we Heliotropes occupy this place, we can use it as a base to breed humans. As long as we don't go out, we don't have to worry about Vigilante A anymore.
When our strength increases, we can counterattack Earth. Then, perhaps the Heliotropes can rise again and become a member of the higher demon clan. '
Valery and his companions stood back to back. He thought to himself, 'This is a godsend holy land for the undead. I will not give it up even if I die!'
The Spectral Train was very powerful.
As long as one became the master of the arcane realm, they could control it. It could even control the corpses from the outside to get on the train.
This way, as long as he stayed in the arcane realm, he would not have to risk digging graves every day …
That's right, the other thing these three groups of evil followers had in common was that they hid …
If they occupied the arcane realm and became the master of the arcane realm, it would be a foregone conclusion. It would be difficult to turn the tables.
…
At this moment, in the grand canyon outside the arcane realm, Vigilante A was patrolling along the railway. Below him, Xue Ba the yellow dog was sniffing around.
Fang Ning finally understood why the System said that there were still many corpses buried under the railway. It turned out that with every step, Xue Ba would find a white corpse buried under the railway.
He was terrified and shrunk back into the System Space.
Sir System and Yellow Dog wandered around the area for half a day. Along the way, they activated Spirit Gaze twice and activated their X-ray Vision, but they still found nothing.
The System took the opportunity to complain, "Oh no, Richman Host, the yellow dog can't find anything. Your Khorium Ore Dog Eyes are useless, and I wasted millions of experience points. You have to compensate me …"
Fang Ning said forcefully, "The Heavens want me dead, not because of the war, so I won't compensate you. Don't you understand the reason for this? Forget it, hurry up and inform the Truth Department, ask them to send experts. "
A few hours later, the Truth Department secretly sent people to infiltrate.
After all, this was America's territory. The officials of the Truth Department were not the unscrupulous Pharos of the East. They could not enter openly, so they had to disguise themselves.
Qiao Zishan was the leader. He brought his sister and Aunt Ding Xiang with him.
The Special Investigations Unit had the most experience in dealing with supernatural matters.
Qiao Zijiang was covered up from head to toe, dressed like a handsome young man.
Qiao Zishan, on the other hand, was dressed like a middle-aged uncle. He did not need to dress up too much, he was basically acting as himself.
The experts were experts. Qiao Zijiang sent Long Fan to check a few times, and they found some clues.
She jogged all the way to Vigilante A and said, "Venerable One, there was indeed a spatial fluctuation here, but it was a teleportation mechanism triggered by the rules, not an obvious teleportation portal."
'No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long, it was a turn.'
Vigilante A asked, "What kind of mechanism was it?"
Qiao Zijiang's face was solemn, "It should be a sacrificial type. The corpses under the tracks were all buried within the last three months. Someone must have used the aura of death to successfully perform a sacrificial ritual. I noticed that the green vines climbing between the tracks had two slightly withered marks, and the distance between them was exactly the distance between the tracks. They must have been swept by some kind of extremely heavy Yin Energy. I think, could it be … "
She was about to speak, but she suddenly stopped.
An old steam train that was pitch-black, faintly discernible, appeared silently from the entrance of the western canyon without a whistle.
As soon as it appeared, it slowly drove towards Vigilante A's direction, as if it was specially there to pick him up.
As it moved, the spreading green vines on the tracks did not stop it at all.
When everyone saw this, they were all nervous. Whenever a strange thing like this appeared, it usually represented a shocking accident.
"The Spectral Train …" Qiao Zijiang looked at the train and said in surprise.
Fang Ning shrank in the System Space and looked outside obediently.
Sir System said unhappily, "This stupid train really knows how to delay time. Why didn't it appear earlier, it made us wait for so long."
Thus, Vigilante A stood outside the tracks, waiting for the train to come.
However, when the steam train arrived, it did not slow down. Instead, it passed right in front of Vigilante A and went all the way to the east, swaggering away.
Everyone looked at each other. What was going on?
At that moment, they subconsciously thought that the other party might ignore them, but would definitely pick up the Venerable One.
There was no reason, they just thought that the Pharos of the East deserved this kind of treatment.
However, it was obvious now that the famous Pharos of the East was nothing in the eyes of this old steam train.
In other words, Vigilante A did not have the right to get on the train.
"This train seems to be a living thing, it really has a personality …" Qiao Zijiang mumbled to herself, then carefully looked at Vigilante A.
She saw that the other party did not say a word, and remained expressionless as he turned his head to look at the steam train that swaggered away.
'As expected of the Pharos of the East who cultivated the Path of Heavenly Punishment, he's always like this, never rejoicing in material gains, never grieving for himself,' Qiao Zijiang thought to herself.
"Damn it," Sir System said angrily to Fang Ning, "this stupid train didn't give me any face. Mr. Rich Boss, quickly think of a way to turn it into a red-named monster, I'll definitely tear it down! "
