Chapter 180: Entering the Mountain Range!
However, even though the strongest prodigies were not around, they still felt fear. Was this the terrifying aspect of the so-called top ten factions of the Martial Continent? It was simply unbelievable!
The ancient mountain range had illustrious wind and lightning. Every mountain was very special.
Moreover, after entering the mountain range, they could discover that the scenery was different from the outside world. The trees in this mountain range were even more luxuriant, and there were also many ancient ruins.
For example, there were collapsed buildings, dilapidated altars, and abandoned squares…
Everyone could see profound patterns on these ruins, as if this place had once possessed endless glory since ancient times.
“This should be the residence of a large faction. Perhaps it’s not impossible to call it a holy land!” A young genius was a little surprised, because they saw many altars here.
However, before they could be surprised by these things, they were shocked by something else. This was because at the end of the valley, there was a mountain peak that shot into the sky. On the mountain peak, there was a terrifying lightning light. Someone used an eye technique and could see that there was a bamboo forest on it.
“Purple Lightning Divine Bamboo?!”
Some of the young elites who were familiar with natural treasures could not help but cry out in surprise. Although they had been forcefully brought here, when they saw these bamboo, pleasant surprise still appeared in their expressions, and greed could not help but rise in their hearts.
On the ancient mountain peak, countless purple lightning bolts flickered. Every bamboo in this bamboo forest was even thicker than those trees. Their bodies were green like spring water, and there were purple lightning sparks flickering on their bodies. Every bamboo leaf was dancing with lightning.
Many people could not help but gulp. Not to mention this many Purple Lightning Divine Bamboos, they were everywhere. Even if they only took out one, it could be considered priceless!
Apart from this, the bamboo forest surrounded large swaths of medicinal fields. These medicinal fields were all protected by the Purple Lightning Divine Bamboo. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years they had existed. Those spiritual medicines that had been around for a long time were even about to give birth to intelligence, almost turning into demons. They swayed their branches and leaves in the ground, and the dense medicinal fragrance overflowed!
“Ahead is probably the ruins of a holy land in the ancient era. There are countless opportunities inside. We can search together,” the person from the Fire God Hall said calmly.
Although their tone was casual and they said that they would investigate together, their actions were not like this at all.
These people from the Fire God Hall did not choose to advance together at all. Instead, they forced the bait that was not from the Fire God Hall to walk at the front, wanting them to go in front to investigate the situation while they hid at the back to avoid any harm.
“Everyone, it’s probably very dangerous ahead. Even in a square inch, there’s probably a terrifying restriction guarding it,” a young prodigy who was skilled in the array formation whispered.
“You don’t have to be too worried. If there’s any danger, we’ll come and save you,” said the Foundation Establishment prodigy of the Fire God Hall behind the crowd. His tone was calm and natural.
The expressions of those young geniuses who were used as bait immediately stiffened for a moment, and they could not help but feel furious.
“What do you mean you’ll come to save us if we encounter danger? You were just talking about investigating together, but now, you’re hiding behind us. How can we trust you?”
“Moreover, you were unable to guarantee that you could successfully escape earlier. There was still blood and feathers from your people on the mountain range earlier. Clearly, your prodigies were heavily injured by this array formation!
Moreover, among these elites who were used as bait, it was not that no one had seen people from the Fire God Hall cough blood and fly back.
“Even your extremely outstanding prodigies are unable to break through this array formation, and you still want us to scout the way. How is this possible? You’re clearly asking us to die!”
A commotion immediately sounded from the crowd. Then, a young cultivator said, “Can I give up on the exploration? I want to withdraw.”
At the same time, another cultivator had a fawning expression on his face as he said tactfully, “Fellow Daoists of the Fire God Hall, I’m from the Seven Swords Mountain and am on good terms with the Fire God Hall. Please spare me.”
“What do you mean by spare you? Where did this come from? I asked you to investigate this mystic realm because I bestowed a fortuitous encounter to you. The path of cultivation requires one to compete. Do you not even dare to do this?” The Fire God Hall’s Foundation Establishment realm cultivator’s tone was very calm, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
“Treasures of heaven and earth are taken by those who are virtuous. Our moral conduct is insufficient, and our fortune is shallow. We can’t compete with your esteemed sect,” another small cultivator said in a low voice. He lowered his attitude very much, and it could be said that he was bending his back.
However, all of this was still not useful. The Foundation Establishment realm cultivator from the Fire God Hall had a very cold expression as he said,
“One still has to rely on oneself on the path of cultivation. What virtue and fortune are they? They are all chains forcefully placed on us cultivators. A great opportunity is right in front of us, how can we give it up?”
“Or do you mean that my Fire God Hall is harming you?”
These young prodigies did not know what to say and chose to remain silent. In fact, they had already cursed this person from the Fire God Hall to the core. These bastards had discovered the mystic realm themselves and were afraid of death. They did not dare to scout the way and even forced them to come here. Was this the case?
However, they could only curse in their hearts. They did not dare to say it out loud. Otherwise, they were doomed.
After all, there was not only one Foundation Establishment realm cultivator in the surroundings. Many other people from the Fire God Hall had very cold expressions. They held all kinds of weapons in their hands. It seemed that if they dared to resist, they would kill them.
Moreover, according to the actions of those people from the Fire God Hall, they absolutely had the guts to kill.
Lin Xuan did not go either, nor did he speak or argue. He only looked into the distance, and a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes. Looks like these people from the Fire God Hall really treated these people in front of them as scouts.
“You go first!”
However, at this moment, a Fire God Hall Foundation Establishment expert suddenly spoke from behind. His tone was extremely cold as he pointed at Lin Xuan.
Clearly, he felt that Lin Xuan was only a baby. It could be said that he was very weak. If he was weak, he would not have much value. Even if he was placed in to scout and lost, it would not be “painful”.
When everyone heard the words of this Fire God Hall’s Foundation Establishment expert, they could not help but be furious.
