There Is a Treasure

"I wonder what the Blood Lotus Sect is trying to do here?"

Upon hearing Chu Mo's question, Li Xunhuan replied in a deep voice.

"It wasn't a wasted trip. The aura has changed, and there are indeed treasures. The Blood Lotus Sect wants to gather the death energy of all living beings from the previous battle to help someone break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. But with just this aura, they are still far from being able to break through."

After Xue Ling jumped into the blood pit, Li Xunhuan noticed the changes in the Xuanshan, and these changes were slowly expanding.

Chu Mo stood beneath the Xuanshan and carefully sensed it again. He opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. He understood Li Xunhuan's meaning and slowly spoke.

"The Qi is condensing and showing signs of merging and combining. He can't break through with just this Qi. He must have a rare and precious treasure in his possession. This Qi should only be an aid."

If that's the case, then their trip wasn't in vain, nor were they too late. If they had come too late, the treasure would have been used by someone else, and then their trip would have been in vain. But they arrived at just the right time.

At this moment, Chu Mo asked Li Xunhuan with a smile on his face.

"Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert, likely a Holy Envoy of the Blood Lotus Sect, is here. Mister Li, what should we say? Should we attack directly?"

The Blood Lotus Sect's evil followers are deserving of death by everyone. Today, they want the treasure, and the Blood Lotus Sect members must also die. As members of the same three major evil cults, Chu Mo knew very well that these guys would definitely rise to power against the wind.

The battle in You Province is urgent now, so we should just kill these guys to save them from causing trouble in secret and requiring more effort.

Killing a Blood Lotus Sect envoy and using his head as a sacrificial offering to deter villains would also serve as a prelude to the Battle of Cangshui.

Li Xunhuan nodded calmly and said leisurely.

"If we go too late, the treasure might already be used. Let's go straight up! We need to resolve this quickly; His Your Highness is waiting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xunhuan gathered his energy in his hand, and a small, illusory throwing knife shot out with a flick of his finger, instantly slicing through the black mist.

The black mist that the flying knife sliced through shattered like a mirror, revealing a small opening. Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo flew straight into the opening and entered the Xuanshan filled with black mist.

The You Lian Holy Envoy Xuanshan suddenly widened his eyes, turned around, his gaze solemn and filled with doubt, and murmured to himself.

"The formation has been broken, how come a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert has arrived so soon?"

"Which faction are you from?"

As the flying knife plunged into the black mist, the You Lian Holy Envoy sensed it. This formation was set up by her own hands, and someone had forcibly opened a gap from the outside, undoubtedly Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

News of rare and precious materials would inevitably attract the attention of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, a fact that the You Lian Holy Envoy had never doubted. But this was only the beginning for her!

Dagan Xue Wubian, the former Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert of You Province, is dead, and there are no Celestial Phenomenon Realm in the Land of Cangshui. Logically speaking, Celestial Phenomenon Realm should not have arrived here so quickly.

The closest person to this place is Dong Xuanfeng, the former Dong Clan. Even if Dong Xuanfeng were alive, she, the You Lian Holy Envoy, would not be afraid, let alone if Dong Xuanfeng were dead. But Dong Xuanfeng is dead, so it can't be him.

The most terrifying thing is the unknown and the variables, which are unpredictable by humans.

The closest forces to Xuanshan to experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm are the Lieyang Sect of Great Feng and the Bingwu Mountain of Dagan. One is located in the Eastern Border of Great Feng, and the other is in Taizhou of Dagan. It will take some time for news of rare and precious materials to travel there.

By the time they arrive, if things go well, Blood Spirit might already have broken through.

But Blood Spirit has only just entered; she hasn't even had a day to create this phenomenon, and yet a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert has already arrived. Is it as if she was specifically waiting for them?

Before they could even think about who it was, the figure of the You Lian Holy Envoy vanished without a trace, leaving an echo in the ears of everyone in the Blood Lotus Sect present.

"There are some situations I need to investigate. You all need to take good care of the Blood Pool and ensure Blood Spirit Elder's safe passage without any mishaps."

Upon hearing the sound, the dozens of people present looked around and discovered that the Holy Envoy had disappeared. They then spoke reverently.

"Respectfully seeing off the Holy Envoy, and strictly obeying the Holy Envoy's decrees..."

Inside the black mist of the Xuanshan, halfway up the mountain, many Blood Lotus Sect members gathered, seemingly idle. Strange phenomena had occurred, and they had made all the necessary preparations, waiting for those greedy lambs to come to them.

"Call out!"

What is that?

A masked cultist stared into the distance, blinked, his eyes filled with confusion, but before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground, a bloody hole in his head from which blood and brain matter flowed out.

A beam of white light arrived from afar in an instant, like a flash of lightning, its trajectory and trace invisible. Wherever it passed, the surrounding black mist was torn apart, and it took a long time to heal.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A flash of white light appeared, and all the hundred-plus Blood Lotus Sect members on the mountainside were lifeless. Those who had been hiding in the shadows, on the trees, on the ground, on the rocks, were all dead, their bodies strewn across the ground.

Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo moved slowly, as if strolling leisurely on the Xuanshan, yet they were so slow that no one could see them clearly. In the blink of an eye, they covered hundreds of feet in a single step.

Wherever they went, the Blood Lotus Sect members around them fell to the ground, lifeless.

Suddenly Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo looked ahead. The main character had arrived. A dark lotus flower mark appeared in the distance, as if it were in full bloom, captivating and seemingly able to steal one's soul without one realizing it.

"Hmph! Soul-refining and mind-bewitching techniques, evil and heretical doctrines."

Chu Mo snorted coldly, clenched his right fist, and threw a punch. A golden mark, like mountains and rivers collapsing, streaked across the sky and shattered the dark lotus flower.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Chu Mo said in a cold voice.

"Blood Lotus Sect, is this all the tricks you've got? Little brat, what's your relationship with the Black Lotus Sect?"

Directly in front of Li Xunhuan and Chu Mo, on the road leading up Xuanshan, about thirty feet away from the two, a figure in purple suddenly appeared, with a seductive figure.

However, the You Lian Holy Envoy's expression was extremely solemn. The arrival of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts so quickly was already troublesome, let alone two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts. They were doomed.

Upon hearing Chu Mo's words, the You Lian Holy Envoy recalled Chu Mo's earlier attack, which felt so familiar. Her gaze towards him was filled with undisguised disgust as she spoke with disdain.

"The myriad phenomena of mountains and rivers, the myriad images of the mind, the essence of my heart, my will, my way, [The Myriad Manifestations of Mountains and Rivers Scripture]—are you a member of the Dagan Imperial Clan?"

What bothered her most was encountering members of the Dagan Imperial Clan. Her [Lotus Birth Great Method] primarily targeted the soul, but the Dagan Imperial Clan's [Myriad Manifestations of Mountains and Rivers Scripture] focused on entering the Dao through the mind, aiming to protect the soul. Their souls were so stable and firm that it was simply unbelievable.

In the hundreds of years since her debut, she has never won against the Dagan Imperial Clan who has practiced the [Myriad Manifestations of Mountains and Rivers Scripture] and whose strength is not too far apart.

Sensing the gathering energy above, Li Xunhuan raised his throwing knife, about to strike, when Chu Mo quickly spoke up.

"Mister Li, you go and deal with the people above first, get the treasure, and then we'll talk. I'll hold this woman off for now."

After speaking, Chu Mo immediately rushed out, his golden light dispelling the surrounding black mist, and his pale golden true energy materialized.

Behind Chu Mo, there seemed to be a golden mass of flesh writhing, and his entire body seemed to transform into a giant meteorite that crashed into the You Lian Holy Envoy.

Li Xunhuan glanced at Chu Mo and the You Lian Holy Envoy. Both of them were at the early stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Chu Mo should be fine, and she couldn't escape either.

Li Xunhuan's figure vanished instantly, transforming into a streak of white light and heading towards the mountaintop.
