In the darkness, even though they had left the camp, the biting wind still carried a strong scent of blood.

The people of the Li Family staggered along, and Annie caught up from behind, running and calling out, "Wait for me, wait for me."

Lin Hao stopped, thinking Annie had something to say.

But Annie just ran up to him, and with a plop, knelt on the ground.

"Please take me with you, I am willing to be your maid, your servant."

This...

Lin Hao was stunned, quite puzzled.

At this moment, Annie's father also caught up, glaring fiercely at Annie: "Girl, what are you doing! Come back with me right now!"

Actually, Annie herself didn't know what had gotten into her. She was simply deeply attracted to Lin Hao and inexplicably wanted to be with him.

Which young girl doesn't love a hero, and which doesn't long for romance?

"Go back. If destiny wills it, we shall meet again." Lin Hao had important matters to attend to, and bringing Annie along would indeed be troublesome.

He decisively rejected her and then continued forwarding.

A wave of sadness suddenly surged in Annie's heart. She watched Lin Hao foolishly, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Come with me!" her father said, brooking no argument, and forcefully pulled Annie back.

Before long, Lin Hao and his group vanished into the darkness.

The place where the Divine Medicine was found was originally a land of no return.

In the northern desert regions, there were no less than fifteen such deadly lands.

So-called lands of no return are places of utter desolation, where dangerous and bizarre force fields run rampant. Out of every ten people that enter, being able to have three return alive was already quite fortunate.

Li Tianyu's discovery of the Divine Medicine was entirely a stroke of serendipity.

And that deadly land was not far from the Thousand Needle Country. On the third day, covered by the Li Family caravan, Lin Hao and his companions crossed through several layers of Thousand Needle army checkpoints and left the Thousand Needle Country.

In the northern part of the Thousand Needle Country, besides the Thousand Needle Swamp that was waiting for the contest over the Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact, there was another deadly land located within Chong Mountain.

"Inside this mountain, there is a natural bottomless pit called Tianxuan Gate. The Divine Medicine is inside Tianxuan Gate." In the distance, high mountains and steep ridges connected together, the mountaintops were white with snow, and lush green trees covered the slopes.

This was quite out of place next to the Desert North Grassland.

Li Tianyu stopped and turned back to look at Lin Hao as he gazed toward the distant mountains.

"Let's go."

Lin Hao nodded and looked towards the foot of the distant mountain range.

Although it was still early in the day, the sun had just risen, its rays bursting forth, the mist mingling with the forests, painting everything blood-red.

Despite being the Desert North Wilderness and a deadly land, the mountain pass was not desolate. From afar, one could see many people gathering at the foot of the mountain, and more were entering and leaving the pass.

It was evident that those people, some in groups of three or five, others going in and out alone, were hurried, and there were checkpoints.

"Eh?"

As they drew closer, the view became clearer.

Li Tianyu's eyebrows knitted slightly, puzzled.

He saw that from the children of the distant mountains, there were figures everywhere on the mountain's summit, its foothills, and within the pass!

This was far too abnormal.

This Chongsan forbidden territory, within lies a perilous land, and the mountain itself is fraught with infinite dangers, frequented by Ancient Fierce Beasts.

On ordinary days, even those who come to this great mountain are scarce, only the utterly fearless, those who wish to dig up some herbs in the mountains, would sneak in.

Anyway, since Li Tianyu learned of Chongsan's existence, he has never seen such a crowded and bustling scene around it!

Trouble has arisen!

At that moment, Li Tianyu felt an ominous premonition in his heart and turned his head to look at Lin Hao.

With the current situation, it's likely that word about the Divine Medicine has leaked out; these people are surely here to snatch the Divine Medicine!!

"Didn't you say no one else knew about this matter except for you?!" Suan San Sheng's complexion suddenly collapsed.

Not only did his face fall, but a wave of killing intent also surged forth.

"Indeed, only I knew... Those four people from last night merely knew that I managed to escape alive from Tianxuan Gate, they didn't know what I saw inside Tianxuan Gate." Li Tianyu's face turned ashen, his body trembling, feeling Suan San Sheng might take his life at any moment.

"It's possible that he wasn't the only one to come out of Tianxuan Gate." Lin Hao gave Li Tianyu an excuse.

Li Tianyu immediately felt relieved and quickly agreed with Lin Hao's view: "Right, right, right, maybe someone else came out of Tianxuan Gate and accidentally leaked the news."

However, Lin Hao let out a cold laugh: "If that's the case, doesn't it mean you're now useless to us? If you're useless, keeping you lot around is a disaster, so..."

Lin Hao smiled coldly, not finishing his sentence, but the murderous intent was terrifying.

Li Tianyu had just let down his guard when he heard Lin Hao's menacing shift in attitude, and immediately knelt on the ground in fright: "No, no, I'm still useful, I'm still useful! There are many mysteries inside Tianxuan Gate, I know the paths and how to find the Divine Medicine!"

"Hopefully what you say is the truth!" Suan San Sheng snorted coldly, then looked forward towards the foot of the mountain, his brows slightly furrowed.

The Divine Medicine is definitely a treasure a hundred thousand times more precious than a Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact, and it's even possible that those powers vying for the Heavenly Descending Divine Artifact would abandon it to compete for the Divine Medicine.

Since these people dare to come here, they are certainly not afraid of conflict, all harboring hopes of contention.

This naturally wouldn't avoid clashes, and bloodshed is inevitable!

In reality, within the Martial World, there are many debts of gratitude and vengeance, and even more adversaries.

Lin Hao's group had only walked a few steps forward when the people converging from all around started to increase.

Occasionally, they could hear sounds of such conflicts.

"Isn't that Western Armor King-Ma Zi? Damn it, he stole my Primordial Stone last time, and I haven't settled the score with him. Today he dares come here; brothers, join me in teaching him a lesson!"

"Li Si! Heaven set a path you didn't take, Hell had no gate yet you barged through! You ambushed me last time, and now that we've met here, are you prepared for your head to part from your neck!"

In just a short distance of one or two kilometers, several bouts of fighting had already broken out, and the air was filled with the scent of blood.

And this, is merely just the beginning.

Should the Divine Medicine appear, the fighting will likely become even more intense.

After all, consuming the Divine Medicine, they could possibly significantly advance their cultivation, become a Supreme Emperor, or even ascend to the heavens!

Beneath Chongsan Pass, there were even more people around.

Many rode atop large Exotic Beast mounts, and some were on Flying Mounts, coming and going, gathering in groups of threes and fives.

With the crowd growing, the noise naturally increased, and the entire mountain range became extremely unsettled, bustling with activity.

But then again, everyone comes from the Martial World and knows that beneath this lively prosperity lies a bloodbath waiting to unfold.

No matter how these groups of people casually chat and socialize, they are all on guard against each other.

After all, with so many people, there is only one Divine Medicine!

Everyone is merely a competitor, now bound by interests, but they will also fight over them when the time comes.

In front of Divine Medicine, even blood brothers are not kin!
