Could it be that the terrifying expert who appeared and slaughtered the barbarians is actually a Qi Refiner?
Is the secret of the Immortal Hall on Lanshan related to Qi Refiners?
He thought of what was mentioned on his panel about Qi Refiners being doomed by heaven's wrath.
If that's the case, it would explain Xin Nanyan's power. He was unsure how Qi Refiners' realms are divided.
But he felt that his just-born Innate Qi was at least equivalent to a Sixth Grade Innate Expert, and in some aspects, whether in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or combat strength, it should surpass Innate Experts.
Xu Guang marveled more than once, thinking this profession is indeed too powerful.
Looking towards the direction of Lanshan, he had an impulse to take a peek inside.
The Immortal Hall supposedly has a great opportunity like the Six Emperors that could allow a Martial Artist's Second Transformation, greatly linked to the Qi Refiners' profession, making it hard for him to resist.
"Should we still go to Upper Blue Mountain?"
Shen Muyu asked.
She was really a bit scared.
The fearsome person shrouded in light and shadow was truly terrifying, like the Guardian of the Immortal Hall.
The most crucial thing is, no one knows how many Guardians are there.
She couldn't help but be afraid.
Xu Guang remained silent, and after some thought, he softly said.
"You and Ah Wei wait here; Ah Wei is enough to protect you. I'll go up to take a look and help scout the way, we'll have to take a detour back."
Jiang Zi Yun looked worried, and Shen Muyu's expression changed slightly.
As soon as Xu Guang finished speaking, he turned and left.
Shen Muyu's Third Grade Sword Qi might not pose a threat to the figure in the light and shadow.
Their Sixth Grade cultivation was just a burden beside Xu Guang. They could only follow his decisions.
...
Just as Xu Guang ascended Lanshan, he saw a figure.
The other party also saw him, "Xu Guang?"
Xu Guang slowly stood still, his expression a bit solemn, "Yuan Feng from Sword Seal Peak?"
Yuan Feng displayed a false smile, "Didn't expect to meet you here. Want to join forces?"
Xu Guang slowly stepped back, "No need."
To put it bluntly, except for a few individuals, he was on guard against people from Jiufeng Mountain now.
Moreover, Yuan Feng had previously been suspected by him as an undercover from the Celestial Destiny Sect, so he naturally wouldn't choose to travel with him.
Yuan Feng seemed to be aware of Xu Guang's thoughts, slowly retreating, as if to indicate he bore no ill will.
Previously, Xu Guang's record in clashes with Dragon Gate was quite terrifying, and being only a Second Shedding Zhenren, Yuan Feng clearly didn't want to provoke him.
So, after nodding to each other, they went their separate ways in different directions.
Once out of sight, both sides sighed in relief.
Everything on Lanshan, in stark contrast with the Ghostly Land, lacked those ominous black and red mists. Instead, a faint white mist lingered, breathing it in gave one's Divine Thought a refreshing coolness.
Ancient trees' sturdy branches stretched out like coiled dragons, towering into the sky like small mountains.
Thick old vines, as wide as water barrels, twisted like massive mountain-climbing snakes, wrapping entire hills with networked strength.
Only in a few places were there gaps revealing the blue ground beneath.
If not told this was located in the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land, one might easily believe it to be an immortal realm.
Having officially set foot on Lanshan, there were no anomalies, yet Xu Guang proceeded with extreme caution.
Fearful of encountering anything terrifying.
...
Meanwhile.
Yuan Feng, having parted from Xu Guang, hurriedly descended the mountain, arriving at a mountain valley.
There were many people here, all notable Zhenrens from the various major forces in Zouchuan Dao.
Among them were Wan Lingxiao, Ning Zhi, and Bai Yuan from Jiufeng Mountain, forming a small group, as Zhenrens tend to have deeply interconnected relationships over many years.
Besides people from Jiufeng Mountain, there were also two Zhenrens from the Jiang Family's Marquis Wangbei line, Xie Xuan from the Taiyi Alliance, and another Zhenren, along with three Zhenrens from Dragon Gate's Second Tribulation Institute, including Du Peng and Du Zhen's father, the leading Du Bo.
Yuan Feng glanced meaningfully at the Jiang Family's people, then at Dragon Gate's Du Bo, casually saying.
"I just saw that brat Xu Guang, he's really audacious, being chased by Dragon Gate yet daring to seek treasure here?"
One Zhenren from the Jiang Family scoffed, "Brother Yuan, you don't know? That Xu Guang has Master Yuanzhi from Xuankong Temple behind him, I heard Dragon Gate has already lifted the hunt for him."
However, another Zhenren from the Jiang Family glared at Yuan Feng unkindly, "Whatever you say, Xu Guang was once a disciple of your Jiufeng Mountain and did some things for you. Your Jiufeng Mountain has gone a bit too far on this matter."
Du Bo was furious, "Was it not excessive when he killed both my sons?"
He had great hopes for the brothers Du Peng and Du Zhen, as he was older than the Dragon Gate's Sect Leader and had no hope of becoming the Leader himself.
Du Peng was especially expected to achieve much.
But unexpectedly, Du Peng died at Xu Guang's hands while avenging Du Zhen, leaving his corpse disrespected at the gate of Chuanbei Prefecture City, a humiliation surpassing all others.
"Where is he!?"
Du Bo rose with an icy glare directed at Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng showed no fear, merely shrugging, "I encountered him on the road exploring Lanshan. He went up as I was coming down."
There were four Zhenrens from Jiufeng Mountain present, tightly united and unafraid to make a move against the other three factions.
Du Bo's expression was as dark as water.
"I will kill him with my own hands! He'd better pray not to cross paths with me!"
