Saint King Enters the Small Mountain Village

Not long after.

The Ji family gradually appeared outside the Small Mountain Village!

In the hands of the Grand Heaven Saint King, a sword is wielded!

The sword hilt is ancient and simple, as if it were forged from a variety of divine metals. The scabbard is dark gray, and its material is unknown, but it has a mysterious feeling of transcending time!

There appeared to be a bloodstain at the junction of the hilt and the scabbard!

The bloodstains looked as if blood had spilled from the sword sheath.

Even after hundreds of thousands of years, the bloodstains remain.

This... is the Ji family's Emperor Sword, once the imperial weapon of the Emperor Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan Sword!

At this moment, they arrived, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, and finally reached the Small Mountain Village.

"Hmm? This place... why does it feel so strange?!"

Before even arriving at the mountain village, the many powerful figures were all taken aback.

"This mountain village... this mountain village is terrifying!"

The Grand Gang Saint King's pupils contracted, and he said:

"Terrifying and unpredictable, brimming with countless auras, could this be the residence of the Holy Emperor?"

The Grand Heaven Saint King was even more shocked, and said:

"Not only that... but there seems to be a trace of Yang energy circulating here!"

"Could this be... a Yang Forbidden Land? How is that possible!"

Upon hearing this, all the holy rulers and sages of the Ji family were shocked.

Yang Forbidden Land?

It must be understood that even the imperial family is no match for the Yang Forbidden Land!

Because Yang Forbidden Land... are often formed after calamities committed by the living.

It involves some terrifying mysteries and some unspeakable existences.

Now, this Small Mountain Village is actually a Yang Forbidden Land?

"No, in the Northern Immortal Realm... there is only one Yang Forbidden Land, and that is the Tianluo Mountain Range!"

"There has never been such a thing in the records!"

"What on earth is going on? Our clan's ancestral artifact has actually been left behind in the Yang Forbidden Land?"

Many wise rulers and sages were also filled with surprise and doubt.

"Ji Yuanqing and the others have actually sided with those in the Yang Forbidden Land. No wonder they dared to betray their Lineage!"

Ji Tianhao's face was icy cold as he said:

"My esteemed Kings, the Ji family must not allow our ancestral treasures to be lost!"

The Grand Heaven Saint King nodded solemnly and said:

"The ancestral artifact is too important... Even if it's Yang Forbidden Land, we probably have no choice but to venture in!"

"Moreover, this place may not necessarily be Yang Forbidden Land!"

The Grand Gang Saint King then spoke up, saying, "I think it's possible that an old monster from the Yang Calamity era is hiding here!"

"However, his strength was insufficient, and he failed to emerge from the forbidden area. Furthermore, he was born prematurely before the Yang Tide arrived... which means he couldn't hold on any longer."

"If we can capture him, we can not only retrieve the ancestral artifact, but also seize a tremendous fortuitous opportunity!"

As he spoke, his eyes lit up!

He has been a Saint King for hundreds of thousands of years and cannot break through.

If I were to obtain this fortuitous opportunity, I might become a Great Sage, or even... reach that supreme realm!

Thinking of this, his eyes burned with fervor.

"Holy King, this place is dangerous..."

Ji Tianpan looked at the Grand Profound Saint King with some caution!

However, at this moment, even the Grand Profound Saint King solemnly said:

Even if it's dangerous, we have no choice but to take the risk!

"The ancestral artifact... it might really have appeared!"

He really didn't want to go!

However, the disappearance of the Ji River means that the Scroll in Ji Yuanqing's hands can truly reflect reality!

This could very well be their ancestral artifact.

For the sake of the Ji family's rise and fall... we have no choice but to brave the storm!

"You all wait here. The three of us, wielding Emperor Artifact, will venture inside and give it a shot!"

The Grand Heaven Saint King spoke directly!

The three Holy Kings stepped forward!

Ji Tianpan, Ji Tianhao, and the others all wore extremely solemn expressions and could only wait.

Soon, the Grand Heaven Saint King and his entourage finally entered the Small Mountain Village.

"How terrifying... As soon as I entered this area, I felt as if all my Divine Ability powers had been completely suppressed!"

As soon as he stepped inside, the expression on the face of the Grand Heaven Saint King changed!

"That's right... I have a feeling that my cultivation... has lost more than half?!"

Tai Gang Heavenly King was even more shocked.

This is terrifying; the oppression in this place is unbearable even for a holy king.

"Is this really not the Yang Forbidden Land...? Could the strange things Ji Tianyou was involved with before have originated from here?"

The Grand Profound Saint King murmured to himself!

They continued on their way.

"Hmm? No, this sea of grass... why is it so terrifying? It gives me the illusion that I could slaughter a Holy King!"

"Hiss! Why is there such a mysterious aura in this ditch? Is it Yang energy?"

"Could this plum tree be the legendary divine tree? Its aura is so extraordinary..."

The three holy kings had only taken a few steps when they were already trembling with fear!

Moreover, the further they went in, the more their cultivation levels were suppressed!

"No... I only have Saint-level power left?"

The Grand Heaven Saint King's expression grew increasingly grim!

"We... we won't fall out of the Saintly Path realm, will we? Can we recover after leaving?"

At this moment, the Tai Gang Heavenly King felt a sense of fear!

"Even the Yang Forbidden Land are not this eerie..."

The Grand Profound Saint King muttered to himself, increasingly feeling that this place was even more terrifying than the Yang Forbidden Land!

As they walked, the three of them grew increasingly terrified.

Because the deeper they went, the lower their cultivation level became, and eventually, they fell into the realm of immortals!

All three of them were reduced to the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

At that moment, the three of them were filled with immense fear, and their faces were covered in cold sweat.

This is too monstrous, too bizarre.

"Hey you three, stop right there!"

Just then, an old voice suddenly came from behind!

This shout startled the three Holy Kings so much that they jumped up!

"Ah!"

They all turned around in terror and instinctively backed away!

But then they saw an elderly man with a cane standing by the roadside, scrutinizing the three of them!

This man was none other than Uncle Zhao Er!

He looked at the three elderly outsiders and asked, puzzled:

What are you doing in our village?

The three Holy Kings, however, were horrified, their throats dry!

Because... they couldn't see through the old man's cultivation level at all!

The other party was like an ordinary person, without a trace of outward aura!

It should be noted that although their cultivation levels were severely suppressed, their spiritual awareness remained.

The fact that I can't sense it... indicates that the other party's level of cultivation is...

Unfathomable, unimaginable!

"Forbidden creatures from the Yang Forbidden Land?"

The Grand Heaven Saint King trembled.

"His... his cane, could it be Emperor Artifact? It gives me an immense sense of oppression..."

The Grand Gang Saint King was drenched in cold sweat.

At this moment, the Grand Profound Saint King was even more certain: Damn it, this place... is at least on par with the Yang Forbidden Land!

A place of utter eeriness... a place of utter terror!

He steeled himself and stepped forward, saying:

"Reporting to Senior... we've come to find someone!"

The other party's realm was above theirs, so he addressed him as "senior."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhao Er asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

The Grand Profound Saint King said, "We've come to find a member of my clan... Ji Yuanqing!"

He dared not hide it.

In the presence of such a being, if one has any intention to deceive, the other party can see through it at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhao Er suddenly realized and said:

"Oh, so you were looking for him... He must have gone to see Xiao Li."

"Just keep walking straight ahead."

Upon hearing this, the three Holy Kings were slightly startled. Xiao Li?

Who is this?

Moreover, this being from a forbidden zone actually guided them?

They were actually a little scared; could there be a huge trap ahead?

At this moment, Uncle Zhao Er suddenly looked at the three of them sternly and said:

"However, I warn you, don't even think about doing anything wrong in our village. Otherwise, even though you're all practically half-buried, this walking stick of mine won't let you off the hook!"

He had been watching those three old men for a long time. As soon as they entered the village, they looked around everywhere, staring at a ditch for ages, and lingering over a broken plum tree for a while... They were acting suspiciously, like no good people!

It looks like something a thief would do!

In this world, there are more and more people who take advantage of their age and act disrespectfully. We'd better be careful, or our things in the village will get stolen!

As he spoke, he stomped his cane!

Instantly, the three Holy Kings' expressions changed. A trace of aura emanated from the cane, causing their knees to buckle and almost causing them to kneel on the spot!

They all stared in horror at the cane!

"We, we will obey orders and dare not act recklessly!"

The Grand Heaven Saint King hastily issued a statement!

"Yes, please rest assured, senior, we will definitely behave properly!"

Even the Grand Gang Saint King was afraid.

Don't be fooled by their status as holy kings; if someone wanted to kill them, it would probably only take a single thought!

Second Uncle nodded and said:

"You guys are smart enough to know your place!"

"Go!"

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances, and to be honest, they were genuinely starting to lose their composure.

I really don't want to go any further.

If they had known this place was so terrifying, they would never have come in.

But now, it's too late.

Moreover, to be targeted by such a terrifying being.

If we don't keep going, we'll probably get bombed and killed.

"Let's go! We have no choice but to keep moving forward!"

"I'll just have to bite the bullet," said the Grand Heaven Saint King.

Before long, they finally saw a Small Courtyard!

Above the gate of the Small Courtyard is a plaque with four large characters:

"Unique Leisurely Courtyard!"
