Gu Zheng, Yuan Li, and the rest had made a rough calculation. Until the last day, less than a hundred Heavenly Immortals would be able to reach the mountain peak at most. This was even including the demons living here. The others would not be able to survive until the rare treasure appeared.
As for Jin Xian, there would not be more than five of them. Due to time constraints, by the time they arrived, Gu Zheng and the rest would have already left with the Heavenly Essence Plant.
As for those unrated Little Goblin, they could be ignored. Humans below the Heavenly Immortal level would not dare to enter this place.
All in all, Gu Zheng was barely able to deal with them. After all, the enemy wasn't a group. If the enemy was really too strong, the two of them could just take the half-finished Heaven Essence Plant and escape. Even if they had to destroy it, they couldn't throw away their lives here.
Although he did not want to cause too much killing, Gu Zheng would not show mercy if there were really people who did not know what was good for them.
After making up his mind, Gu Zheng closed his eyes again. He had to stop those foolish humans who had their eyes opened after seeing the treasure. However, with so many people, Gu Zheng could not possibly take care of every single one of them. There was bound to be some that he missed.
.....
The man and woman from before arrived at the bottom of the mountain without any obstructions. They stopped in a forest and walked forward slowly.
The man said to the woman with a smug look, "See that? We can only have a chance if we're one step ahead. If we're still dawdling outside, the treasure would have been taken away by others by the time we come in."
The woman did not answer him. That was because there was already a pothole in front of them. There were obvious traces of battle around it. Although it seemed like a long time had passed, it still emitted an aura that frightened her.
"Look around. It seems like there was a battle here before. It might have been taken over by others. Let's not go." Although the woman looked brave on the outside, she was actually very timid on the inside. However, she had to pretend to not be bullied. She was only an Early-stage Heavenly Immortal.
"That's true." The man was not a fool. When he saw this scene, he felt that he was indeed a little reckless. Since there were already people here, and their cultivation bases seemed to be much higher than his, he would not be so foolish as to send himself to his death.
"Let's go. Little Qing, wait a moment." The man wanted to ask the woman to leave, but a corpse suddenly appeared in front of him. From his angle, there seemed to be a sparkling jade pendant on the corpse's waist.
Gu Zheng had really forgotten to take care of his corpse. Even now, he still hadn't thought of it. In the end, it was seen by him.
"I said that I felt that my luck was pretty good today. I actually made a fortune. Did you see that? That person's aura is completely gone. He's dead now. Moreover, the person who killed him didn't seem to collect his spoils of war." The man said excitedly.
"Brother Yong, let's go. If the person who killed this person finds out that we stole his things, we'll be dead." Even if this person was dead, they could still tell that his cultivation was actually at the Jin Xian Stage when he was alive, but they didn't know if it was at the early stage or the subversion stage.
Even so, it was enough to let them know how strong the defenders here were.
"It's okay. The other party must be trying to take the treasure. Maybe they're refining it now. Although we don't have the fortune to fight for that treasure, in front of us is something given to us by the heavens. We can't waste it." The man said excitedly. He kept rubbing his hands and walked forward.
"I promise you. As long as we take this thing, we'll leave."
Seeing the man so determined, the woman could only follow him with a face of reluctance. She hoped that he would really search the corpse and go back.
"Little Qing, what do you think this is?" They came in front of the corpse. First, they took the jade pendant. Then, the man touched the corpse's chest and took out a blood-red badge.
"Let's go quickly. I keep feeling that something is wrong." Looking at the blood-red badge, Little Qing seemed to see countless vengeful spirits in front of her, wanting to take her life. Suddenly, she shivered. Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
"Let's go." The man got such a treasure. He wasn't greedy. This time, his harvest was enough.
After hearing what she said, he immediately got up and resisted his desire. He didn't look at the corpse anymore. He pulled Little Qing and was about to leave when a figure blocked in front of them.
That figure was emitting the aura of a demon god. Especially that pair of red eyes. They were furiously looking at them.
"Milord, I don't want it anymore. I'll give it all to you. "When the man saw that, although he didn't know why he was blocked, he immediately threw the item in his hand to the side and quickly fled with Little Qing.
At that moment, there was no need to mention how much regret he felt. That was because that person had a badge that was exactly the same as the one in his hand. It was hanging on his chest. With a single glance, he knew that the corpse had a great connection with him.
But they had only taken a few steps when an irresistible power came from behind them. The two of them were involuntarily sent flying. Their legs went soft and they knelt on the ground.
"Wuuu!"
The two of them shouted in fear. But they discovered that they were unable to say anything. Furthermore, there was an indescribable power restricting them. They were simply unable to move. They could only look at the sinister face of the other party.
A bad premonition appeared in their hearts. They could only hear what the other party seemed to be saying. In the end, they could only clearly hear the last sentence.
"I will avenge you. As for these two people who insulted you, I'll send them off first."
A cold light flashed in the air and the two of them were directly beheaded. Two terrified heads fell to the ground. There was still a trace of vexation on their faces.
He looked at Gu Zheng on the hillside. The environment here had less of an effect on him, so he could completely hide himself. However, he also knew that Gu Zheng had already discovered him. Although he had hidden himself again, making it impossible for Gu Zheng to find him, Gu Zheng still couldn't find him.
But now that he was on guard, it was impossible for him to sneak attack him.
But he was also unwilling to retreat. He had followed him all the way to the Snowy Mountain so that he could keep track of his whereabouts. But he hadn't expected that after disappearing for a month, when he used a secret technique again, he would discover that Long Chen had already come here.
He had rushed here without stopping and discovered that there was such a huge commotion. He had even discovered the corpse of one of his own team members. Needless to say, he had definitely fought with Long Chen and ended up being killed.
He had been too impulsive. Even if Long Chen hadn't recovered from his injuries, he was still able to kill the men in black. How could he be a match for them alone?
Moreover, there were two thieves who had insulted him. If he didn't kill them, it would be difficult to vent his anger.
He still needed to hide. It seemed that Long Chen was guarding the things inside. It seemed that he was protecting others.
His heart skipped a beat. He quietly went around from the side, ready to go in and see if there was a chance to disrupt Long Chen's plan.
At the same time, Brother Qin and Sister Qin had also returned along the original path. When they saw that Uncle Chong and his family were not here, they continued to fly in the direction of the human countries. They were ready to leave this place. Unexpectedly, just as they flew forward a little, they discovered that they were on a higher mountain.
They had actually retreated such a long distance. Thinking that they had left, the two people directly descended from the sky and landed in front of them.
At this time, they were also discussing who the senior was. When they saw that they had returned so quickly, they were very curious.
"Brother Qin, why are you back so quickly? Do you already know what's going on inside? "Seeing this scene, the innocent Ying 'er took the initiative to ask.
Chong Ding Shan saw that the two of them were smiling bitterly and didn't say anything. He couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Why? Is there something you can't tell us?"
"No, it's just that we were one step too late. The mountain peak has already been occupied by someone else. Moreover, they set up a formation first. I reckon that it's Jin Xian's senior. If Long Chen hadn't shown mercy, the two of us wouldn't have been able to return." A trace of shock flashed in Sister Qin's eyes. She shook her head slightly. Even now, when she thought about the situation just now, she was still flustered.
"Senior Jin Xian? In that case, the phenomenon in the sky seems to be the birth of a treasure. Something that Long Chen values must be extraordinary. "When Chong Ding Shan heard them, he blurted out his thoughts.
"Who knows? Logically speaking, we should have arrived very early as well. We rushed over as soon as the signs appeared. Perhaps the other party sensed it earlier than us and came here in advance, setting up a formation to stop us. Fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to like killing."
"That's true. Looks like Long Chen isn't an evil person. It's our good fortune. I wonder what he looks like and which senior is here." Chong Ding Shan pondered for a moment. He thought about the warning that Long Chen had given him and asked.
"How could we see his face? We were caught in the formation as soon as we entered." Brother Qin said awkwardly. He didn't even have time to react before he was caught.
"Uncle Chong, the water here is too deep. I suspect that there might be more Jin Xian's seniors coming here later. I think we should leave this place quickly." Sister Qin advised from the side.
On the other hand, the few juniors behind them were very curious. They wanted to see what Jin Xian's seniors looked like. They were clamoring to stay and wait until the end.
"Shut up! Why are you making so much noise? We're leaving now. " Chong Ding Shan shouted at the juniors behind him. What kind of situation was this? They still didn't know how to sense danger. Was this something they could participate in?
After being shouted at by Chong Ding Shan, the juniors didn't dare to say anything. It seemed that Chong Ding Shan's authority was very strong.
"Leave? None of you are allowed to leave without my permission. " A voice suddenly sounded in the air. At the same time, a transparent light screen rose from all around them, trapping them firmly in this place.
"Who is it? Come out! "
Chong Ding Shan immediately shouted. At the same time, he drew his weapon. Brother Qin and Sister Qin had already begun to attack the barrier, wanting to break out.
However, no matter how they attacked, they couldn't even cause a ripple on the surface.
Moreover, there was no one around them. It was as if the voice just now was just an illusion. However, the light screen in front of them was telling them that someone was trapping them here.
Other than Chong Ding Shan, everyone, including the housekeeper, was attacking the light screen. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain.
At this moment, a white light flashed a few feet away from them. A white figure appeared in front of everyone.
This person was surrounded by white mist. Other than vaguely making out that it was a man, everything else was a blur, not to mention his appearance.
The appearance of this person gave them a shock. They subconsciously pointed their weapons at him, guarding against him.
"Hmph, the few of you, do you want to fight me?" The other party snorted coldly. A terrifying aura was emitted from his body. Everyone felt a gust of cold wind, like the spring equinox in March and the winter in December.
Everyone's faces turned pale. Under Chong Ding Shan's signal, everyone put away their weapons. This person was actually a senior from Jin Xian. If he really wanted to deal with them, it would be a piece of cake. No matter how much they resisted, it would be useless. They might as well be straightforward and show their sincerity.
"I wouldn't dare." Chong Ding Shan hurriedly lowered his head again and said in an even more respectful tone, "I don't know when we offended you, senior, to trap us here."
"You didn't offend me." The figure took a step forward and came to the other side of them. Looking at the strange phenomenon in the distance, he paused for a moment before saying, "I just happened to pass by here and happened to hear some of you coming out from there. Therefore, I have to trouble you a little."
The group of people looked at each other, especially Brother Qin and Sister Qin. So it was them who lured this senior here.
"Senior, what do you mean?" Chong Ding Shan asked tentatively.
"Tell me everything you know," Lin Feng said. The white figure sneered and said, "Don't worry. Although I'm very bad, I won't kill my own kind. However, if you lie to me, you don't want to know the consequences."
"Don't worry, senior. We won't hide anything from you. Hurry up and tell me everything in detail." Even if it was for his grandchildren, he wouldn't do that. He hurriedly urged the two in front of him.
"Yes, senior. Actually, we didn't go in for very long. When we went in …" Brother Yong hurriedly recounted everything that he encountered in detail.
"You couldn't even block that puppet with a single blow. It seems like an expert has arrived in advance. Looks like your luck is pretty good." After Brother Yong finished, the white figure thought for a while before saying with a chuckle.
"Looks like my luck is pretty good."
After saying that, the white shadow's figure flashed and disappeared from their sight.
"Senior, senior, please let us go." Chong Ding Shan hurriedly shouted into the sky when he saw the figure disappear. However, he had already lost sight of the figure.
Just when they were feeling disappointed, a sentence floated in the sky from afar.
"Wait for a while and the light screen will dissipate automatically."
This calmed them down slightly and they could only wait quietly. Once the light screen dissipated, they would immediately leave this place and not stay for a moment longer.
Almost at the same time when the white figure left, Gu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.
"Why is someone here so soon? Looks like they don't have good intentions." Gu Zheng's eyes were filled with killing intent as he descended from the sky.
"Forget it. Since I've already persuaded most of them, it's up to them whether they live or die. I don't have time to deal with them. I'd like to see how capable they are if they want to get a share of the loot." Gu Zheng muttered to himself.
At the same time, a golden light appeared from his hand again. It circled in the air nimbly and rushed in a certain direction.
"I hope that this battle will make some people see the situation clearly and not get involved." Gu Zheng looked at the direction where the golden light disappeared and quickly followed.
The white figure rushed towards the mountain peak from outside. Relying on his high cultivation level, he ignored the abnormalities in the sky. When he knew that he was close, he suddenly stopped.
At this time, the white fog around him had dissipated, revealing a pale face. His eyes were faintly purple. He was actually dressed like a coachman. What a strange outfit.
At this time, a purple light beam shot out from his eyes and disappeared into the air in front of him. After a few breaths of time, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"Tsk, such a low-level formation. I guess it can only stop this trash. Looks like the other party hasn't been here for long. I still have a chance."
After the white figure finished speaking, a pure white jade ruler appeared in his hand. It was emitting a faint light. Without any movement, he slapped it forward.
"Pa!"
Accompanied by the sound of the palm hitting the surface of the water, a huge wave suddenly appeared in front of him. Near the white figure, a dozen people and demons suddenly appeared in the air and fell down. Everyone looked very embarrassed.
The white figure didn't care about these people at all. Seeing that the formation blocking the way was broken, he rushed over again.
Some people on the ground felt the aura above them and got up to retreat. However, there were still some brave people who continued to move forward. They were full of hope.
However, when the white figure arrived at the foot of the mountain peak, a golden light shot from afar and blocked his path.
At the same time, in the sky far away, a dozen rays of light were moving in this direction. However, the altitude was very high. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to notice that there was an unusually luxurious beast carriage slowly moving in the air.
There were a few guards in black and gold clothes next to it. They were guarding it and following it closely.
The beast carriage was more than fifty feet long. The red body of the carriage was constantly emitting a faint light. Faint yellow runes were constantly floating on it. It seemed to have a very strong defensive power. There were four strange beasts in front of it that were pulling it forward.
These strange beasts were as big as two horses. Their bodies were covered in black scales, and they stood on white clouds. Their faces were ferocious, and there were small horns on their foreheads. They were slowly approaching the mountain.
Through the outside of the curtain embroidered with landscape patterns, a man and a woman could be seen inside the carriage.
The man had a high temperament. His appearance was white and clean. He had a comfortable aura. He looked like an elegant scholar. He was pouring tea for the woman in front of him. His movements were very smooth and skillful. It seemed like he was a disciple of a big family.
The girl in front of him looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a green veil. Her skin was as white as jade. Her beautiful black hair fell on her cheeks twice. Her appearance was very beautiful. She was like a fairy who had come down from the sky. At this time, her beautiful face was slightly wrinkled. She looked unhappy, which made people feel sorry for her.
"Shuang 'er, don't frown. Look at this cup of ice rain tea I made for you. See if it suits your taste." At this time, the man in front of her put the tea on the small table in front of her and gestured for her to taste.
"Thank you, Young Master Qi."
Shuang 'er couldn't and didn't dare to refuse. She could only slowly reach out her slender hand and take a sip of the tea.
Suddenly, the beast carriage slowly stopped in the air. The voice of the attendant floated in from outside.
"Young Master Qi, we are close to the vision in the distance. What should we do next?"
