A group of shadows sped through the night. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Three Great Kings, look."
A red-bearded, red-browed man raised his hand. The group of people stopped on the treetops and looked over. They saw a fire burning on a mountain in the distance.
"Lighting a fire on a mountain in the middle of the night. There must be something fishy going on!" A shifty-eyed man said to the red-bearded man.
The red-bearded man shook his head and said, "Making it so obvious, as if they're afraid that others won't see it. Those bastards from the Seven Nations are up to no good. This must be a trap to kill us. We won't fall for it. Let's continue on our way and stay away from those bastards. "
The shifty-eyed man gave a thumbs up and said, "Three Great Kings are wise!"
"Let's go!" The red-bearded man waved his hand. The group of people turned into phantoms and sped off in the night …
On the opposite side of the blazing mountain peak, Niu Youdao and the others were resting in the canopy of a tree on the opposite mountain peak. They took turns to rest and observe their surroundings.
Niu Youdao went off duty and switched with Wu Zhaoxing to continue observing their surroundings. The latter opened his eyes and looked around, then turned to look at Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged on a tree branch, preparing to meditate. "How many days has it been? There's no reaction at all. Will your method work?"
Niu Youdao: "We're just trying everything we can. It's better than doing nothing."
Wu Zhaoxing's sixth place on the Alchemy Rankings was also worn out. He sighed and said, "If we don't meet anyone and a year passes just like that, then the joke will be on us. Our four months of running around with you will all be for nothing."
Niu Youdao: "If that's the case, don't worry about me. I'll make arrangements. You can go back in peace."
Wu Zhaoxing: "You're planning to stay here and be a savage?"
Niu Youdao: "I can at least live for another two years, right?"
Wu Zhaoxing: "If you're not confident, then just go back to the ancient forest."
Niu Youdao shook his head. If he returned now, when the various powers returned, he would no longer have any room to maneuver. His previous efforts would have been in vain.
The crux of the problem was that he had to get first place. If he waited until the final moment, he wouldn't have enough time to act. How could he snatch enough items from the hands of the various forces in a short period of time? He might even be ganged up on and beaten to death before he could figure out who he wanted to ally with.
Wu Zhaoxing had no other choice. He was just saying it. He knew that it was not appropriate to run back. If they were to be surrounded by a group of people at the last moment, he, Yun Ji, and his mother would not be able to protect Niu Youdao. After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Are you sure it's useful to find those overseas people now?"
Niu Youdao: "It's been more than four months. Judging from the time, those guys should have met each other. It should be about time."
Wu Zhaoxing was suspicious. "We've already met. What do you mean?"
Niu Youdao: "It's time to talk to those guys about collaborating."
…
"Stop!" The red-bearded man who was speeding through the air suddenly raised his hand and shouted.
The group of speeding figures stopped one after another. The shifty-eyed man approached and asked, "Third Great King, what's the matter?"
The red-bearded man turned around and looked at the distant fiery hilltop. He asked around, "Are there any people who can run faster than us in search of the Spirit Seed?"
Someone beside him smiled bitterly. "I don't think so. We're running for our lives because we're being chased!"
"F * ck your running!" The red-bearded man waved his hand and slapped the man. With a loud slap, the man screamed in pain as he was slapped down from the treetop.
The branches and leaves rustled as the man fell to the bottom of the tree with a thud.
The red-bearded man looked at the place where the fire was burning. "That's the logic. The various forces searching for the Spirit Seed shouldn't be ahead of us. There shouldn't be any major forces in this place. Where did the fire on this hilltop come from?"
The shifty-eyed man said, "Could it be that the Heavenly Fire was accidentally ignited by the Heavenly Fire in the dry weather?"
The red-bearded man said, "Can the Heavenly Fire only burn the hilltop and not spread further? It must have been cleaned up by someone! "
The shifty-eyed man gave a thumbs up. "Third Great King is wise!"
The red-bearded man said, "Go. Bring a few people with you to see what's going on."
"This …" The shifty-eyed man broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "What if it's really a trap set by the people of the Seven Nations?"
The red-bearded man's round eyes widened even more. "Are you doubting my judgment? Are you saying that I'm brainless?"
"No no no!" The shifty-eyed man waved his hand in denial. He really wanted to ask, 'Since you think there's nothing wrong with your judgment, why don't you go with us?'
The red-bearded man said, "Stop talking nonsense and go quickly. Don't be afraid. I'll come to your aid later. Call the police immediately if you encounter any danger!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The shifty-eyed man forced a smile on his face. He turned around and called a few people over. They groped in the dark and flew towards the source of the fire.
When they were about to reach the target location, they all landed in the forest and moved stealthily. They were on high alert in all directions.
Seeing that they were about to reach the target hilltop, they still didn't see anyone. It didn't seem like there was a large group of people gathered there. They gradually became more courageous.
"Someone's coming." Wu Zhaoxing, who was in charge of observation, suddenly reminded them in a low voice.
Niu Youdao, Yun Ji and her son, who were sitting cross-legged on a tree branch, suddenly opened their eyes. They stood up and looked in the direction Wu Zhaoxing was pointing.
They saw a sneaky figure emerge from the forest and flash to the opposite hilltop. He circled around the bonfire and kept looking around. Then, he waved his hand. Three more people flew out from the forest and landed on the hilltop. They looked around and whispered to each other.
With the help of the fire's light and their transcendence vision, they could see that these people were surrounded by demonic aura when they were casting their arts.
"They're all demonic cultivators." Niu Youdao mumbled. His eyes gradually lit up. "They should be those people from overseas. Do you know them? Can you tell which side of the four seas they're from? "
They determined that they were cultivators from overseas because they were all demonic cultivators. It wasn't that there weren't any demonic cultivators among the people from the Seven Nations. It was just that there were very few demonic cultivators. It was even rarer for several of them to appear at the same time.
In reality, there weren't many demonic cultivators on land in the Seven Nations. The major sects in the Seven Nations all prided themselves as righteous sects. They often did things like slaying demons and devils.
Actually, demons and devils didn't necessarily do bad things. There were moral standards in this world. As long as a demonic cultivator had gained sentience, how could they not know good and evil? When humans were bad, they were much worse than demons and devils. But there was no helping it. No one was willing to share profits with these demons and devils. It was difficult for the beasts to establish a foothold in the Seven Nations. Under the guise of slaying demons and devils, most demons and devils could only seek survival overseas.
Situations like Yun Ji's Cloudcrossing Mountain and Ghostmother's Pitting Yin Mountain were rare.
The three shook their heads. Yun Huan said, "They're not important people. I don't know them."
"No matter which side they're from, hard work pays off. We've finally met them. Let's go and meet them." Niu Youdao threw down those words and was the first to emerge from the treetop. He flew towards the opposite mountain.
"Young Master Su, there's someone." A demonic cultivator on the opposite mountain shouted.
The shifty-eyed man turned around and saw one person after another dashing out. He immediately shouted, "Not good. It's an ambush. Run!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! The demonic cultivators fled as fast as they could. Under the night sky, they flew across the treetop.
Niu Youdao and the others had endured too much. They had waited for so long, and it was not easy for them to catch up. How could they let them go so easily? If they missed them again, it would be difficult to find them again. They immediately chased after them.
The fleeing demonic cultivators saw a group of people waiting in front of them. The shifty-eyed man shouted, "Three Great Kings, it's an ambush. Run!"
"Run my ass!" The red-faced man cursed. However, he waved at the people behind him and said, "Retreat!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! The group of people immediately followed behind him and flew away.
"Which group of friends are in front?" Niu Youdao, who was chasing after them, became anxious and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Niu Youdao didn't know if he didn't hear them or if he didn't care. After chasing for a while, he was puzzled. What was going on? Looking at the figures in front of them moving up and down under the moonlight, there were probably a few hundred people. Did they really have to be chased by a few people?
"I'm fine. I won't die. You two don't have to accompany me. Hurry up and chase after them. Try to stop them." Niu Youdao waved at Wu Zhaoxing and Yun Ji.
The two of them looked at each other and immediately sped up. They quickly left Niu Youdao's side and rushed to catch up with the group of people in front of them.
After chasing for a while, Wu Zhaoxing turned his head in surprise and looked at Yun Ji, who was running shoulder to shoulder with him and was not at a disadvantage.
"Three Great Kings, they're here. Wait for us." The weaker cultivators among the people in front shouted anxiously when they saw that they were about to be caught up.
The red-bearded man who was running at the front looked back and realized that something was wrong. No one was chasing in their direction.
When the two figures behind them fell into the crowd behind them, the red-bearded man waved his hand and the people who were running stopped one after another. One by one, they took out the weapons in their hands.
After Yun Ji saw the people below clearly, she shouted as she landed, "Hong Gaitian, why are you running?"
When the red-bearded man saw who had landed, he said in surprise, "Yun Ji, you've got guts. Why are you chasing us?"
Wu Zhaoxing, who had landed, looked at the two of them. From their tone, they seemed to be familiar with each other.
That's right, Yun Ji and the red-bearded man knew each other. She immediately retorted, "You didn't even see us clearly before running away. No matter how timid I am, I'm still much bigger than you!"
The red-bearded man scolded, "Run your ass. You're gauging the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure. Can't you see that we're in a hurry?"
While the two of them were bickering, Niu Youdao and Yun Huan had also arrived. They landed beside Yun Ji and Wu Zhaoxing.
When he saw the dignified red-bearded man, Niu Youdao was elated. It was indeed the person he was looking for. A smile blossomed on his face as he cupped his fists and said, "I was wondering who it was that came and went like the wind under the moonlight. Turns out it's the Third Boss of South Sea. I've been rude to come and see you!"
They couldn't say that they knew each other, but they had seen each other in Heaven Valley. After being pointed out by someone, they knew that this was the Third Boss of South Sea, Hong Gaitian. He was also the person in charge of South Sea.
It wasn't just this person. The people in charge of the four seas had also been pointed out by someone when they were in Heaven Valley.
"Niu Youdao?" Seeing him, Hong Gaitian was slightly surprised. He raised his head to look in the direction he came from. When he saw that no one else was chasing them, he asked, "Niu Youdao, why are you chasing us?"
