The three rays of strange light dispersed, and two men and a woman appeared.

A man with a burly figure was shirtless. He had a single gray horn on his head. His white hair was draping over his shoulders and he looked imposing.

His expression was solemn as he said, "This is the place where the immortal treasure landed, right?"

A rather thin man at the side smiled and said, "Niu Batian, the immortal treasure must be among the mountains. Perhaps we split to look out?"

The woman was dressed in white. She was tall and slim with slender legs.

She was wearing a veil, and her face was faintly discernible. Her long hair reached her waist, and her beauty could topple kingdoms and cities. Behind her, there was an illusory snake tail gently swaying.

She laughed and said, "Wang Hou, Niu Batian wants that immortal treasure. Don't you want it? There is a forbidden area in the central region of the Tianyuan mountain range. If the immortal treasure falls into that area, do you dare to go?"

Wang Hou was slightly thin, but his eyes were very lively. He smiled proudly and said, "Bai Su, you are also one of the top magical beasts among these hundred thousands of mountains. Why don't we work together."

Bai Su covered her mouth and laughed softly. Her voice was pleasant to the ears.

"Wang Hou, I am only here to watch the show. I am not interested in that immortal treasure."

Wang Hou sneered. He did not believe this woman's words. Instead, he turned around and looked at the two people in front of him, who were trembling with fear.

"I just heard you say that there is an experts, can you explain it properly?" Wang Hou narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Ah, I don't know anything. I just want to leave this place." One of them seemed to have been shaken by the violent spiritual fluctuations of the three king-level magical beasts, and his mind was in a mess.

His eyes were listless as he ran toward the main road outside.

Xiu!

A white light shot out from the fingernails of the woman, passing through his back, and piercing through his heart.

With a bang, he fell onto the ground.

Seeing his companion die just like that, the long-haired disciple's eyes were full of fear. He wanted to say something, but his tongue kept trembling.

"Hey, you are too vicious!" Wang Hou said to Bai Su jokingly.

"He has gone mad. I just give him an easy death, so that he won't be tortured by a pervert like you." Bai Su looked at Wang Hou with disgust.

She didn't want to see Wang Hou slowly torment that man. This guy had escaped from prison in the past, and he had learned all the tricks of the human race.

Obviously, she knew Wang Hou, the guy who was a monkey monster, very well.

When Wang Hou heard the word "pervert", he was obviously stirred up and was about to scold her back.

"Stop messing around! I found the clue." The single-horned man said calmly, and the two of them immediately quieted down.

However, Wang Hou was still not convinced. He could only snort coldly and stand with his arms crossed.

Bai Su smiled and walked with long steps to the living disciple. Her eyes shone with a strange light.

The long-haired disciple's eyes gradually blurred. Everything in front of him was gradually disappearing.

He looked left and right. To his horror, he found that he had returned to the mysterious mountain.

He saw a beautiful woman sitting cross-legged on the lawn. She was communicating with the immortal sword hanging in front of her.

A dazzling light blossomed.

The scene changed.

He now appeared outside the courtyard again, joining hands with his junior brother to confront the woman in red opposite of him.

He wanted to escape, but he had no way to control his body. He could only watch helplessly his fight with the woman in red.

Then, he suddenly felt the power disappear, and he could not sense the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Then, his master's scream came from the courtyard, followed by Li Feiyu's plea for mercy.

The woman in red was concerned about her master, so she turned around and ran toward the courtyard.

The two disciples who were hesitating suddenly saw their master running out of the courtyard.

His aura was chaotic, his face was pale, and a finger on his left hand was missing.

This was the sequela of using the mystic shadow technique, which was also called "Cicada Slough Displacement".

"Master! What has happened to you?" He quickly supported his master with junior brother. His master's aura was very weak, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Run, run quickly!" Wang He shouted in a low voice.

Seeing his master's face full of regret and fear, he realized the gravity of the situation, although he was outside the courtyard and did not see what was happening in the courtyard. 

However, from the woman in red's heart-wrenching roar and the Tyrant Sword Sect's Sect Master Li Feiyu's pleading, it could tell that this reclusive big shot was ferocious.

The senior and junior brothers then carried their master and ran down the mountain.

One minutes later.

Seeing that the beautiful woman who had chased them was gradually approaching, the two of them were about to open their mouths and find an excuse to abandon their master. At this moment, they saw their master's eyes were bright as he looked at them.

"Run, you two!"

Hearing their master's decision, they were so ashamed that they didn't dare to look up. They bowed and frantically fled down the mountain.

...

"After that, although we went through some rushing, we were still lucky and didn't encounter any magical beasts..."

The long-haired disciple muttered to himself with expressionless eyes.

"How is it? My method is useful, right?"

Bai Su said proudly.

"Humph, it's just a small trick! If I were to do it, I would know all these even faster." Wang Hou said disdainfully, picking his nose.

"You? Other than having good hearing, what else can you do? Rely on that disgusting torture method you learned from the humans who mistreated you?" Bai Su retorted.

"Would you be able to find these two people without my help?" Wang Hou refused to be outdone.

Bang!

The single-horned man turned around and punched the small hill in front of him.

In the next moment, the small hill that was mearly 100 meters tall collapsed.

"Let's go!"

He suddenly jumped up, turned into a stream of light, and flew toward Mount God of Heaven.

Seeing Niu Batian take the first step, Bai Su and Wang Hou looked at each other, then turned their heads and snorted.

Ignoring the human who was still in a daze under the tree, the two streams of light followed closely behind. They were afraid that Niu Batian would beat them to it.

Half an hour later, the long-haired disciple of the Xuan Ying Sect who was standing under the tree in a daze suddenly woke up and took in large mouthfuls of fresh air.

It was as if he had woken up from a nightmare.

As he gradually recovered, he felt that his spiritual power had improved, and the bottleneck he needed to broken through had also begun to loosen.

"Was this 'after breaking through, one can stand tall; and after death, one can rise again?'"

The man muttered to himself.

He instantly sat cross-legged and meditated to regulate his breathing. Not long after, a muffled sound came from his body.

He slowly opened his eyes and took one last look in the direction of Mount God of Heaven, the expression in his eyes were complicated.

...

At this moment, at Mount God of Heaven, Jiang Yun was lying on a chair, stroking his little leopard cat, looking at his attribute panel with satisfaction.
