More than six thousand years ago, during its golden age, a sacred ground of immortals gathered tens of thousands of cultivators to attack the Desolate Abyss. In the end, almost all of them were annihilated, which gave this place its unparalleled reputation.
"Those skeletons have no signs of life, why did they climb up from the abyss?" While everyone was shocked, they were also puzzled.
The nine sacred mountains were majestic and heavy. Countless white skeletons struggled at the entrance of the abyss. There was one place where the skeletons were the densest. There were over a thousand skeletons piled up there, forming a small bone mountain.
The bronze coffin!
Ye Fan's eyes shot out two bright rays of light. He saw a corner of the coffin that was not completely covered by thousands of skeletons. This gave him an indescribable feeling. All of this was because of the nine dragons pulling the coffin.
At this time, the elder of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Hanzhong, also saw the bronze coffin. His expression froze for a second and he said, "The Desolate Forbidden Grounds underwent an indescribable change. Thousands of skeletons crawled out. Could it be because of that coffin? What is its origin? Why would it appear there?"
The elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land also frowned and mumbled to himself, "Legend has it that there is a certain item buried in the abyss. That extremely powerful sacred ground of immortals attacked this place because of that mysterious item. Could it be because of this bronze coffin?"
"The Desolate Forbidden Grounds is one of the seven forbidden zones of the Eastern Barren Territory. Since the ancient times, no one has been able to break through it. No cultivator has ever been able to enter it. The item buried in the abyss must have a great origin." The elder of the Ji Clan, Ji Yunfeng, squinted his eyes as he looked at the bronze coffin.
Then, everyone had a headache. Not long ago, they encountered a skeleton that turned more than ten cultivators into ashes. Now, the nine sacred mountains were densely packed with thousands of skeletons. How were they going to pick the medicine?
"Which sacred mountain did you climb?" Jiang Hanzhong asked Zhou Yi and Lin Jia.
Zhou Yi wore a white robe and his black hair draped over his shoulders. His temperament was calm and elegant. He answered calmly, "The mountain with the coffin."
Jiang Hanzhong nodded and said to everyone, "That sacred mountain has the most skeletons, and the medicine has been picked before. Let's avoid it and climb another sacred mountain."
At the side, a knight sighed and whispered, "There are so many bones on the mountain, how do we go up? There's no chance at all. If you want to go up, you'll definitely die. "
Xu Daoling, the elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land, said, "We can always think of a way. Let's go closer and have a look."
Not long after, everyone arrived at the foot of the nine Sacred Mountains. Looking at it from a close distance, the Sacred Mountains were lush with vegetation, and the scenery was beautiful. Coupled with the vigorous atmosphere, it could be said to be magnificent.
"Are our three families going to separate, or are we going to join forces and climb the Sacred Mountain together?" Ji Yunfeng, an elder of the Ji Family, asked with a smile that was not a smile.
Jiang Hanzhong, the elder of the Jiang Clan, stepped forward and said, "Brother Xu, there's no need to hide anything. That little knight had once consumed the divine medicine that grew here, so it should be able to resist the power of the curse. Let's work together and help him ascend the Sacred Mountain to harvest the divine medicine. We can satisfy the needs of the three clans at the same time."
Xu Daoling, the old knight of the Yaoguang Holy Land, had no choice but to call Ye Fan over. When Ye Fan took off his helmet and revealed his delicate appearance, Liu Yiyi, Zhang Ziling, and Wang Ziwen, who were not far away, were all shocked.
"Let's think about it and see if there's any feasible way to harvest the divine medicine." A few elders gathered the knights together and began to discuss.
Ye Fan and the others were left to the side, and no one paid attention to them for the time being.
"Ye Fan …" Liu Yiyi was the first to run over. They had not seen each other for three years, but she did not change much. She was still the same as before, looking very weak. Her big eyes were filled with extreme shock as she said in a low voice, "It's very dangerous here. Why did you come?"
Zhang Ziling also quickly rushed over and grabbed Ye Fan's shoulder. He shook him excitedly and said, "Where have you been these past two years? I once went to the Spirit Ruins Grotto with the elders of my sect to visit you and Pang Bo, but in the end, I found out that both of you had disappeared. "
"It's a long story …" Ye Fan had experienced many things, but he could not say it out loud. Otherwise, it would definitely bring trouble to them.
Lin Jia was extremely beautiful, and she was born with a pair of phoenix eyes. In this kind of situation where life and death were unknown, it was difficult for her to smile, but she still looked very charming. It was completely due to her natural temperament. She had seen Ye Fan not long ago, but she did not point it out. She stretched out her slender hand and touched Ye Fan's head, saying, "You've finally grown taller."
Wang Ziwen also quickly walked up and said, "I didn't think we would meet again here. I really don't know if we should celebrate or be sad."
Zhou Yi also frowned and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that we will not be able to survive today. We have to think of a way to save ourselves. These people definitely won't care about our lives."
Li Xiaoman was dressed in white, and her expression was calm. She nodded at Ye Fan and did not say anything.
At this moment, the people in front finished their discussion and looked over. Jiang Hanzhong pointed at Wang Ziwen and said, "You, come here."
"What orders do you have for me, Senior?" Wang Ziwen was as gentle as before.
"Go up the mountain immediately and find a way to pluck the sacred medicine. If you succeed, I will accept you as my disciple and let you become an official disciple of the Clan of the Ancients."
Hearing Jiang Hanzhong's words, Wang Ziwen's expression immediately changed. He was obviously being used as cannon fodder to test the waters and see what the result would be.
"I … am too weak. I'm afraid that before I can reach the mountain, I will be drowned by those white bones and turn into dust." Wang Ziwen looked gentle, but he was not a coward. His eyes were bright as he looked at the Jiang Elder and said, "Please show mercy, Senior."
"I told you to go up, so go up. What's with all this nonsense!" A knight was very dissatisfied and loudly rebuked.
"Then just kill me. Otherwise, I won't obey even if I die!" Wang Ziwen said straightforwardly.
"Then I'll just kill you!" One of the knights pulled out a sharp sword that gleamed with a cold light.
Even if the Divine Power Spring had dried up, the physique of a cultivator was still far superior to that of an ordinary person. Wang Ziwen suddenly leaped up and landed on his own strange beast. He pulled out his dagger and stabbed it with all his might. The mount immediately raised its hooves and galloped away.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Yi, Li Xiaoman, and Lin Jia did the same action. They quickly leaped up and flew onto their mounts. They fiercely slapped their mounts and charged into the distance.
On the side, Liu Yiyi and Zhang Ziling grabbed onto one of Ye Fan's arms at the same time, wanting to lift him up and escape. However, it was already too late. They were blocked by a few knights wielding spears.
Liu Yiyi and Zhang Ziling pulled out their sharp swords and confronted the knights. Even though they knew that their chances were not high, they did not want to wait helplessly for death.
"Do you really think you can escape? Although you're clever, you can't escape from my palm." Jiang Hanzhong did not pay attention to Ye Fan and the others. He whistled, and the four wild beasts that were running into the distance immediately turned around and returned.
Wang Ziwen, Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, and Li Xiaoman were very decisive. They immediately jumped off their mounts and ran into the distance. However, the four strange beasts were in hot pursuit, quickly intercepting them.
"These strange beasts have already gained sentience. They're only temporarily lent to you. Do you really think you can control them?"
In the end, Zhou Yi, Li Xiaoman, Wang Ziwen, and Lin Jia were all escorted back by the knights.
"You want me to throw my life away and let you find out the truth? Impossible! I'd rather die like this. "Wang Ziwen did not beg for mercy.
Lin Jia also coldly said, "Although I know that this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, I did not expect that you so-called Holy Lands and ancient aristocratic families to be so despicable."
Jiang Hanzhong shook his head and said, "There's no such thing as true black and white in this world. It's fine as long as we treat the vast majority of the people in this world well. Occasionally sacrificing three to five unrelated people is nothing."
"Then make your move!"
To the side, a knight shook his head and looked at Lin Jia and Li Xiaoman, "You two can be considered outstanding beauties. If it was any other day, no one would have the heart to make a move against you. But today, if you don't comply, don't blame us for being ruthless."
Ye Fan looked at Jiang Hanzhong and said, "What you're doing is too cruel. You could've used the wild beasts to test the waters. Why send people to their deaths?"
Jiang Hanzhong's expression was calm. He shook his head and said, "In this forbidden zone, these strange beasts are very important to us. We cannot afford to lose them."
"In your eyes, are we not even comparable to these mounts?" Ye Fan asked coldly.
The knight who chased after Ye Fan two years ago, Jiang Feng, stepped forward. His lips curled into a mocking smile and said, "Are there some things that need to be clarified?" He patted Ye Fan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. You will definitely live longer than them. Most people will cooperate with you and help you ascend the Sacred Mountain to collect the divine medicine for us."
Ye Fan looked at the old knight Xu Daoling of the Yaoguang Holy Land, then at the elder Ji Yunfeng of the Ji Clan, and said, "Do you also have the same attitude?"
Neither side responded. Their expressions were indifferent, and they didn't say anything.
Jiang Feng laughed and glanced at Ye Fan in disdain. He patted his shoulder and said mockingly, "One must know one's limits. Do you think you can talk to us like this? Even if the heads of the six sects of the Yan Kingdom came in person, they wouldn't have the weight. The three elders won't say much to you. "
"You're too arrogant and despotic!" A cold light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. He asked, "For someone as arrogant as you, what realm have you reached?"
"The Celestial Bridge Realm." Jiang Feng looked down at him with a disdainful sneer, "Your level is too low, you will never understand. If it wasn't for the fact that I still need you, I would have killed you long ago for daring to talk to me like this."
Ye Fan was indeed shocked. He didn't think that Jiang Feng had reached the Celestial Bridge Realm, which was a whole realm higher than him. If the two of them met under normal circumstances, he would die without a doubt.
As if he saw Ye Fan's shock, Jiang Feng sneered. "You are a frog at the bottom of a well. How can you know how big the world is? You cultivators of the Yan Kingdom are only limited to the Sea of Reincarnation. You are just a mortal and don't know how to cultivate. I don't want to talk to you. "
Ye Fan turned around to gaze at Xu Daoling, Ji Yunfeng, and Jiang Hanzhong, and he said, "If you want me to help all of you harvest divine herbs, then you have to satisfy me first." When he spoke up to here, he pointed at Jiang Feng and said, "We must kill him first!"
Jiang Hanzhong, the elder of the Jiang Family, shook his head. "You overestimate yourself. You are just a mortal and don't have the right to threaten us. There are many ways to make you submit." After saying that, he pointed at Zhang Ziling and coldly ordered a knight to step forward and said, "Kill him."
The elder of the Jiang Family was very calm, as if killing one person was nothing to him. The knight drew his sword and was about to step forward.
"If killing one is not enough, you can kill them one by one." The elder of the Jiang Family said coldly.
"You dare to force me to submit like this …" A cold light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.
At this time, Jiang Feng stepped forward and glanced at him. "One must know their own limits. You, a piece of trash who can't cultivate, want to control us and take my life? You don't know what's good for you!"
"There are many ways to control you. If worst comes to worst, I can control your mind!" Jiang Feng stretched out his hand and lightly slapped Ye Fan's face. He was extremely humiliating as he sneered, "To us, you only have some value. It would be good enough if we could leave your corpse intact after this."
Ye Fan grabbed his hand and didn't let it fall. "From the beginning to the end, you are all high and mighty with a strong sense of superiority. Is a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator that amazing?"
Slap!
Suddenly, Ye Fan swung his palm and slapped Jiang Feng's face, sending him flying several meters away. He sneered, "As a mortal, it's really comfortable to hit the face of a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator!"
Li Xiaoman, Zhou Yi, and Lin Jia all revealed shocked expressions. The knights around them were even more shocked.
