"Wang Chong, you must be careful. This Four Ends Martial Lord was originally an officer on the border of the Imperial Court, and by a stroke of luck, he obtained the legacy of the Scorching Sun Sect from more than two hundred years ago. The symbol of this sect is the Scorching Sun Golden Armor he wears and his peerlessly domineering Scorching Sun Divine Art. The Four Ends Martial Lord's Great Scorching Sun Divine Art has already reached the level of transcendence, and he's on the verge of transforming into a blazing sun that can incinerate the world! "
The Formation Elder whispered from behind Wang Chong.
"Did you also come for this?"
The Evil Emperor stared at the Four Ends Martial Lord, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
It had been a very long time since he had unleashed his killing intent. If these people thought that they could bully him with numbers, they were gravely mistaken.
The thick killing intent exuding from the Evil Emperor immediately caused the air to tense up.
Whoosh!
As these groups faced off against each other, few people noticed that from the northeast, a figure was observing them from a distance. He was wearing an extremely conspicuous Yin Yang Crane Diagram.
"Hurry and report this to the alliance lord!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly turned around and ran into the distance. At the same time, a messenger pigeon soared into the sky from his hand and quickly flew into the distance.
"Reporting to the alliance lord! Jili Laozu and the Four Ends Martial Lord have all arrived. Together with the Five Ancestor Alliance's Myriad Ghost Ancestor and the others, we've gathered five top-class experts of the martial arts world. In addition, we've also discovered that mysterious and powerful elder at Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu's side. "
On a mountain several li away, a disciple of the Zhengqi League was kneeling on the ground, a respectful expression on his face.
Bang!
The surrounding experts of the Zhengqi League immediately fell into disarray upon hearing this scout's words, all of them discussing the matter.
The development of the matter was much faster than everyone had expected. For nearly a day, all the martial artists of the martial arts world had been mobilized, but not even the shadow of Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu had been found. But now, the tracks of the Demonic Emperor's group had been exposed to everyone, and they had instantly attracted the attention of many titans of the martial arts world.
"This matter involves the Origin Immortal Lord and his treasury. Even the Five Ancestor Alliance and the Four Ends Martial Lord have rushed over. Should we go as well? Otherwise, the Origin Immortal Art would have been monopolized by the Five Ancestor Alliance. "
Sikong Yuanjia stepped forward and sternly said.
"There's no need. It's better to stay put than to move. Let's wait and see for now. "
Song Yuanyi stood at the top of the mountain, looking in the southwest direction where Wang Chong and the others were. A bright light flashed in his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd was stunned. However, this was Song Yuanyi's decision, and no one in the Zhengqi League dared to oppose it.
"Yes!"
The crowd replied.
At the same time, in the southwest, the Demonic Emperor's words caused the air to tense, as if a bloody battle could break out at any moment.
No one dared to ignore the threat of the number one expert of the evil path, the Demonic Emperor. Whether it was Jili Laozu or the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, both of them had apprehensive looks on their faces, their muscles tensing as they prepared to strike at any moment.
In the next moment, something unexpected happened.
Whoosh!
Atop the giant warhorse, the Four Ends Martial Lord flicked his wrist. Clang! A metal cylinder covered in intricate patterns shot out like a bolt of lightning towards the Demonic Emperor with astonishing speed. Pa! The metal shaft was still in the air when it exploded into pieces. Just when everyone thought that the Four Ends Martial Lord would make the first move, a dark golden scroll immediately flew out from within, and its speed was greatly reduced.
Clap!
The Demonic Emperor Old Man opened his palm and took the dark golden scroll, immediately recognizing what it was.
The Origin Immortal Art treasure map!
The object that the Four Ends Martial Lord had thrown out was actually a precious treasure map. For a moment, everyone paled, and even their breathing became labored. The mood instantly changed.
This action was so sudden that not even Wang Chong had expected it.
"There are six pieces of the treasure map in total. If we can't collect them all, no matter how many we have, they'll be useless. Moreover, the Origin Immortal Art has been lost for several hundred years, with no progress made. This is the closest we've ever been.
"Rather than having the Origin Immortal Art be lost for all of us, it would be better for everyone to work together and open the passage to the treasury. As for what comes after, it will be up to each of us to rely on our own abilities."
Facing the gazes of the crowd, the Four Ends Martial Lord looked down at them and said something that left everyone dumbfounded.
The Origin Immortal Art treasure map was incredibly precious, and every piece that got out could unleash a storm of blood in the martial arts world. Countless factions would fight over it, but the Four Ends Martial Lord had thrown it out like this. In the eyes of these people, this was an extremely foolish move.
But gradually, they began to understand, and their expressions softened.
"That's right. The Origin Immortal Art has been lost for several hundred years, and no one has obtained it in these last several hundred years. Instead, many lives have been sacrificed. If everyone keeps the six pieces of the treasure map to themselves, then no one will be able to obtain it. Rather than that, it is better for everyone to hand it over and open the treasury together.
"Moreover, handing over the treasure map is not the same as handing over the Origin Immortal Art. In the end, obtaining the world's number one art will depend on one's own ability."
In an instant, the atmosphere instantly became much more subtle.
Although the Four Ends Martial Lord's words were very reasonable, words were one thing, and actions were another. How could it be easy to get everyone to hand over the treasure map they had worked so hard to obtain to the Demonic Emperor?
"Hmph, fool! Why should we hand over the treasure map to him and not the other way around? And why should we trust him? "
The Black Yin Ancestor coldly snorted, disdain for the Four Ends Martial Lord's actions. But just as the Black Yin Ancestor finished speaking …
Pa!
Thus, he threw another treasure map not too far away from the Demonic Emperor Old Man.
"The mighty Demonic Emperor probably won't go back on his word. Four Ends Martial Lord, let's do as you say. I hope that in the end, we really can open the Origin Immortal Treasury!"
Jili Laozu said. He actually had a treasure map in his hand.
It was only then that everyone understood why he had left his territory and traveled thousands of miles to the northwest.
The Evil Emperor opened his palm, sucking the Origin Immortal Art treasure map into it, and then passed it to Wang Chong.
"Chong-er, give it a try."
Only with the real treasure map could one open the treasury, and the Energy Condensation Pearl in Wang Chong's possession was the only way to verify the authenticity of the treasure map.
"Yes, Master!"
Wang Chong took the Four Ends Martial Lord's treasure map and waved the Energy Condensation Pearl over it. A moment later, rays of light shone through the pearl and onto the Four Ends Martial Lord's treasure map, causing silver lines and white specks of light to appear on the map.
"It's real!"
Wang Chong took the treasure map that Jili Laozu had tossed over, and the same silver lines and specks of light appeared.
There was no doubt that the two treasure maps were real!
Wang Chong already had one treasure map, and with the addition of Jili Laozu's and the Four Ends Martial Lord's, they now had three real treasure maps. Only three more were needed to complete the map of the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury.
"This is really unexpected! It seems like the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury really might be open!
Wang Chong quietly said to himself. Things had developed much more smoothly than he had imagined. Figures of the Four Ends Martial Lord and Jili Laozu's level of ambition and conduct were far superior to the average person's. Anyone else would never have taken them out even in death.
But when he raised his head, Wang Chong noticed a sinister gaze fixed on him.
"Kid, can you let me take a look at that pearl in your hand?"
The Black Yin Ancestor asked in a sinister voice as he stared at Wang Chong. Although he was doing his utmost to hide it, Wang Chong could still sense a deep greed in his eyes.
"Of course … not!"
Wang Chong faintly smiled as he put away the Energy Condensation Pearl. This sudden action caused the Black Yin Ancestor's face to contort into a nasty grimace.
On the other hand, Wang Chong's face was brimming with derision. Even in the face of a martial arts titan like the Black Yin Ancestor, Wang Chong showed no fear.
"Black Yin Ancestor, as the saying goes, one never comes to a temple without a cause. Anyone who appears in the northwest, without exception, has a plan. You didn't appear in the northwest just to deal with the Demonic Emperor, did you? If my guess is correct, you also have a treasure map of the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury. "
At this moment, the Four Ends Martial Lord spoke once more, this time targeting the Black Yin Ancestor and the Five Ancestor Alliance.
Any other place would have been fine, but this was the treasury of the Origin Immortal Art. Any martial arts titan that appeared in the northwest had an extremely high chance of having a treasure map of the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury.
"Four Ends Martial Lord, don't speak nonsense! How could our Five Ancestor Alliance have a treasure map!?"
The Black Yin Ancestor retorted without hesitation. However, before he finished speaking, a treasure map immediately flew out with a whoosh in the next moment.
"Take this treasure map of the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury!"
The Black Yin Ancestor was enraged and wanted to curse, but when he saw who had spoken, his heart trembled and he found himself unable to speak.
The Bone Devil Ancestor!
"Old Five, don't let your emotions affect your decisions! As long as we open the Origin Immortal Treasury, do you think we won't be able to get the Origin Immortal Art? "
Just then, a voice as soft as the buzz of a mosquito reached their ears. It was the voice of the Bone Devil Ancestor.
Although the Black Yin Ancestor was the military advisor of the Five Ancestor Alliance, in terms of actual authority, the Bone Devil Ancestor was above him. This expedition to the northwest had also been the Bone Devil Ancestor's idea.
"Yes, Second Brother!"
