After flying for nearly a thousand miles, Yang Xuan did not need to ask anyone to know that the Setting Sun Mountain Range was up ahead.
When the sun's rays fell on the mountain range, it actually emitted a bright red color, like the color of the setting sun. Presumably, this was how the Setting Sun Mountain Range got its name.
Actually, this was not the main reason why Yang Xuan determined that the mountain range ahead was the Setting Sun Mountain Range.
The main reason was that a large number of martial arts experts had already gathered in the mountain range ahead. Furthermore, someone was shouting loudly, "The Ninth Prince needs the Moyang Jade. If anyone finds it and gives it to me, the Ninth Prince will reward them."
The person who spoke was Zhou Cujie.
All the martial artists in the Setting Sun Mountain Range roared in agreement, their spirits high. It was obvious that Shen Yuguan's name was very well-known.
What Yang Xuan could not figure out was that Zhou Cujie's Dao was the Righteous Dao, and he had entered the Dao through literature. Why would he work himself to the bone for the Ninth Prince?
Yang Xuan concealed himself and stood quietly in the sky.
He was not foolish enough to go down to find the Moyang Jade himself. Since someone had already helped him find it, he was happy to be idle.
There was no night in the Forgotten Land. It was always daytime, which made it convenient for everyone.
However, the Setting Sun Mountain Range was too big. Even though there were many people searching below, there was still no result after 48 hours.
Yang Xuan did not seem impatient at all. He remained hidden and waited quietly.
Finally, after another 48 hours, an extremely intense light suddenly erupted from a mountain peak in the Setting Sun Mountain Range.
"It's the Moyang Jade, it's the Moyang Jade!" A Venerable shouted excitedly and grabbed at the light without caring about anything else.
The next moment, he let out a violent scream. His entire body quickly vaporized in the light and finally disappeared without a trace.
Hiss!
Everyone who saw this scene sucked in a breath of cold air. Even Zhou Cujie did not expect this to happen.
A moment later, a Five Qi Venerable channeled the power of heaven and earth and carefully approached the light.
Everyone held their breaths and focused, their gazes following his movements.
Even Zhou Cujie's attention fell on him.
That person finally got close to the light. Then, he slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed at the light. His hand was surrounded by light. He had already activated the power of heaven and earth to protect his entire body.
His hand finally reached into the light, and in the next moment, great fear suddenly appeared on his face. Then, he quickly retracted his hand.
However, it was already too late. His entire arm had already been vaporized and completely disappeared. The place where his arm was severed was as smooth as a mirror, and not a single drop of blood flowed out.
Hiss!
Everyone once again sucked in a breath of cold air. After a few breaths, they could not help but look at Zhou Cujie.
Zhou Cujie frowned. He had only heard that the Moyang Jade was an object of extreme Yang energy, but he did not expect it to reach this level. Not only were Venerable level experts unable to touch it, even Five Qi Great Venerable had one of his arms cut off.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Cujie suddenly took out a glove from his bosom and put it on.
As soon as the glove was taken out, Yang Xuan's eyebrows twitched. 'Isn't this glove the same as the Nether Black Silk Glove in my interspatial ring?'
Apart from helping him find the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire, the Nether Black Silk Glove had been in his interspatial ring and had not been touched. He had almost forgotten about it.
Now, Zhou Cujie had taken out an identical glove. 'Is there something different about this Nether Black Silk Glove?'
After putting on the glove, Zhou Cujie landed and approached the dangerous light.
Yang Xuan's spiritual sense followed Zhou Cujie all the way and saw that after Zhou Cujie approached the light, an enormous power of heaven and earth suddenly surged into the glove on his right hand.
Next, the Nether Black Silk Glove emitted a black light that slowly spread.
A chill appeared, and the temperature of the entire mountain seemed to have dropped.
Zhou Cujie's hand reached into the light. Everyone held their breaths and focused their attention, including Yang Xuan.
The black light on the glove quickly disappeared, but a new black light emerged from the glove. Finally, under everyone's gaze, Zhou Cujie's hand grabbed the fist-sized Moyang Jade that was still beating like a heart in the center of the light.
In an instant, the light emitted by the Moyang Jade strangely disappeared, revealing its true appearance.
It was a fist-sized, translucent piece of jade that was like a human heart.
Moyang Jade, this was the Moyang Jade.
Yang Xuan's gaze focused on the Moyang Jade, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Zhou Cujie's face also revealed a smile. After saying a few more pleasantries, he stood up and left in the northwest direction with a few of his subordinates.
As for the reward he had mentioned earlier, the person who discovered the Moyang Jade was dead, so naturally, it could not be honored.
Yang Xuan ignored the complicated feelings of the cultivators in the Setting Sun Mountain Range and stealthily followed Zhou Cujie after concealing himself.
Zhou Cujie's speed was very fast. In just a few moments, he had already flown over two hundred kilometers.
At this time, Yang Xuan decided to make his move. He did not know where Shen Yuguan was. If Zhou Cujie brought the Moyang Jade near Shen Yuguan, then it would be troublesome.
After making up his mind, Yang Xuan suddenly sped up and arrived behind Zhou Cujie in an instant. He pressed down with a finger.
However, this finger was not pressed down on Zhou Cujie, but on the six subordinates behind Zhou Cujie.
Rumble!
A sudden clap of thunder exploded in the air. Immediately after, the aura of death split into six like black lightning and descended from the sky, instantly attacking the six people.
"Who is it?"
Zhou Cujie was the first to react. He turned around in an instant, but it was already too late. The six subordinates behind him had already aged in fear, decayed, and finally turned into ashes.
Yang Xuan withdrew his finger. His expression was calm, as if he had done something insignificant, and he appeared in front of Zhou Cujie.
"Bai Qi!"
Zhou Cujie was surprised, then his expression turned cold as he said word by word.
Yang Xuan smiled and said indifferently, "Brother Zhou, give me the Moyang Jade."
Zhou Cujie was stunned, then he sneered, "So you're here for the Moyang Jade. If you want it, come and get it yourself."
With that, he wrapped the Moyang Jade in a black silk glove and stuffed it into his bosom.
A long black saber appeared in Yang Xuan's hand, but he did not make a move. He only asked, "Brother Zhou, I have a question. If I'm not wrong, you should have entered the Dao through literature and cultivated an awe-inspiring righteousness. I don't know why you're acting as an accomplice to a villain and working for Shen Yuguan?"
Zhou Cujie sneered, "Is His Highness's name something you can casually call? As a subject of the Great Shen Empire, I naturally work for His Highness. Since ancient times, loyalty to the emperor is the foundation of a subject. How can a traitor like you understand this? "
Yang Xuan understood. Although Zhou Cujie entered the Dao through literature and became ninth on the Ranking List of Young Masters, he had become extremely pedantic. Simply put, he had become stupid from studying.
Sighing, Yang Xuan's expression turned cold, and killing intent shot out from his eyes.
It did not matter if you were a loyal subject or a traitor, as long as you stood in his way, you would be an enemy.
"If that's the case, then please die, Brother Zhou," Yang Xuan said indifferently. His voice faded, and he brazenly made a move.
The black saber seemed to fly from the horizon, cutting through the void. The power of life and death coiled around the tip of the saber as it slashed directly at Zhou Cujie.
