In the northeast of the Crimson Radiance Sect, amidst the vast expanse of ice and snow, a towering mountain stood tall.
The peak of the mountain had sunk deeply, forming a huge lake. Strangely, in this bone-chilling area, the lake did not freeze. The lake water was clear and pure, and it was actually warm and harmonious. Faint water vapor continued to rise and condense in the air.
From afar, it seemed as if there was a blurry round cover that enveloped the entire mountain peak.
"Whoosh."
The almost inaudible sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out.
In the western horizon, three figures flew over as if they were flying.
In an instant, the three of them floated to the edge of the mountain peak. One was an old man with a head full of white hair, his body was extremely sturdy, and he wore a yellow robe; one was a green-clothed girl with a face like a flower, who looked to be in her prime; and the other was a middle-aged man with a handsome face, gentle and refined.
However, whether it was the yellow-robed old man, the green-clothed girl, or the middle-aged man, the auras that faintly seeped out from their bodies were all extremely tyrannical.
"This should be the place." After sensing it for a moment, the three of them quickly exchanged glances. Then, the yellow-robed old man couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right."
The girl in the green dress smiled sweetly and glanced at her surroundings. "This place is quite lively. The three of us have arrived rather late."
"It might not be useful to come early, but it might not be useless to come late."
The middle-aged man said with a face full of smiles, "The key is not in the morning, but in our own methods. Elders, let's find a place to rest first."
"Sure."
The yellow-robed elder and the green-dressed girl both nodded.
In the next moment, the three figures flew away at an extremely astonishing speed. In an instant, they disappeared into the boundless ice and snow.
At the foot of a mountain ridge about ten miles away from the snowy peak, two figures sat cross-legged in a bright ice cave.
These two were the elders of the "Asura Supreme Sect", Tan Zhong and Tao You.
The two of them had already stayed in this place for almost ten years. In the past ten years, cultivators would appear in this area from time to time and settle down like them.
At their level of cultivation, it was basically impossible for them to hide from this place.
Because of this, Tan Zhong, Tao You, and the other cultivators all knew of the existence of the others. However, they neither met nor interfered with each other. They had a tacit understanding.
However, everyone knew that this tacit understanding would be broken one day.
And now, the day of breaking their tacit understanding was getting closer and closer.
"Including us, this is already the forty-fifth." Sandalwood's eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Yes, many of them are our old acquaintances."
Tao You couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at each other, Tan Zhong and Tao You felt a headache coming on. It was no wonder that they were like this. Those who came were not ordinary Upper Sky Kings, but peak Upper Sky Kings like them. Furthermore, the sects that those peak Upper Sky Kings came from were not any weaker than the "Asura Supreme Sect".
There was only one treasure, but there were more than forty peak-level Heavenly Kings.
Once that treasure appears, there will definitely be an intense battle. Since there was a battle, there would naturally be casualties. At that time, who knew how many would be able to survive?
If the other peak-level Heavenly Kings sensed that the situation was bad, they would still have the chance to escape.
But they couldn't. Ten years ago, they had already become puppets and servants of others. Now, both of them had no choice. When the battle broke out, even if they were given the order to perish together with their opponents, they had no other choice but to obey.
In the past ten years, the two of them had regretted it countless times.
If they hadn't gone to find trouble with that person back then, perhaps they would still be free like the other peak Heavenly Kings who had appeared here.
But unfortunately, at this point, no matter how much they regretted it, it was useless.
"Send the news back!" Tao You said subconsciously.
"Alright!"
Sandalwood smiled bitterly and nodded.
However, before the sandalwood bell could move, a voice suddenly echoed in the depths of their souls, "No need, I'm already here."
After a split-second, a figure appeared in their line of sight. His body was tall and straight, his face was as handsome as jade, and a faint smile hung on his lips.
The two of them felt their hearts tremble as they quickly shot up.
Just like ten years ago, they had no idea how Tang Huan had appeared. Even after Tang Huan appeared, they could not sense any aura from his body. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, even if they pushed their minds to the limit, they wouldn't have known that there was such a person standing in front of them.
In their opinion, this was Tang Huan's most terrifying method.
With this method, he could quietly approach any cultivator. If he wanted to launch a sneak attack, even a peak-level Heavenly King would not be able to escape. With just one strike, he would probably be severely injured by his sneak attack. Moreover, ten years later, he would definitely become even more powerful than before.
Of course, this was not because Sandalwood and Tao You had discovered something, but because of their intuition.
"Not counting you two, there are forty-three peak Heavenly Kings who have come from the last eighteen days. It is indeed more or less the same as what you two originally judged." Tang Huan waved her hand at the two people who were about to bow, and sat down cross-legged in the ice cave with a smile, "Those three just now, they must be the last three, right?"
"It's hard to say for now."
After pondering for a moment, Sandalwood Bell shook his head and said, "The forty-three peak level Heavenly Kings that have come now, come from fifteen powerful sects. Those sects were located in fifteen of the eighteen Heaven Realms. If we add our Asura Supreme Sect, then there are sixteen Heaven Realms that have already arrived, leaving two Heaven Realms. In those two Heaven Realms, there are also such powerful sects. Perhaps there will be people coming as well. "
"There's no harm in a few more people."
Tang Huan slightly nodded her head when she heard this, then smiled indifferently and said slowly, "If they know what's good for them, they might be able to be like you guys, become my puppets or servants, and then return to the middle eighteen days alive. Otherwise, this Crimson Radiance Heavenly Diagram will definitely become their burial ground."
His voice paused for a moment, then Tang Huan smiled and said, "Now, the two of you can directly go to the peak and guard it. Bring this with you." Following that, the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram" appeared in front of Tang Huan.
"Yes."
The two of them looked at the scroll that was being unfurled. Although they were a little doubtful, they did not ask any further. However, the moment they respectfully agreed, Tang Huan's figure suddenly disappeared from their sight, transforming into a black stream of light that entered the mountain and river painting that was revealed.
The painting then shrank and turned back into that small scroll.
