The next day.
Jiang Ping arrived at the restaurant on time for a drink. This time, he noticed that Qin Yun and the other six were gathered together, but Yan Liang was the only one Yan Liang.
He glanced at Yao Hong and understood.
Smack!
The sound of gnawing reached Jiang Ping's ears clearly.
The old man in the burial clothes, with a gloomy and bluish face, sat upright on Yao Hong's shoulders, eating bloody flesh.
Half of Yao Hong's face was completely eaten away.
Blood dripped onto the ground, leaving a pool of crimson, but everyone ignored it.
Jiang Ping felt a chill run down his spine, filled with fear.
This scene seemed to be visible only to him.
Cheers!
Yao Hong, whose face was only partially visible, was completely unaware of the situation and was still excitedly drinking with everyone, looking forward to returning to the island.
"Hey you three, we meet again. Let's have a few drinks together!"
Qin Yun saw Wu Qingqing Hao Jun arrive at the restaurant and extended an invitation.
"I heard you're looking for new partners, but you just want to go and watch the game. We already have enough people, but we can take you with us."
Qin Yun continued.
With so many top players gathered here, a clash of titans is sure to take place deep within Forbidden Land Peak place, making it very exciting.
However, the place is Forbidden Land dangerous and not everyone can enter. Now that Fang Yong is no longer leading the way, it will be more difficult for Hao Jun and his two companions to go deeper.
He didn't mind bringing the other person along; after all, they were old acquaintances with a long-standing friendship.
"How about we go grab a drink together?"
Hao Jun transmitted his voice.
Although this action would leave them indebted to some people, they didn't want to miss out on a battle of the Peak. The competition between such Heavenly talent as Zhong Shenxiu Tao Zhenzhang was truly captivating.
"Be careful of Yao Hong."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out in the ears of the three of them.
It startled them instantly.
Wu Qingqing, with her keen observation, immediately noticed that Yao Hong, who had been so charming yesterday, now had a pale face and looked somewhat Yan Liang Lianghua.
"Oh my god! Is it contagious?"
Shu Mingxiao was shocked, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
See you later!
The three of them immediately sped away, having no intention of traveling together anymore.
"They still can't let go of their pride."
Yao Hong chuckled and said, "Alright, I've never liked these kinds of burdens anyway."
Time flies, and another day has passed.
Jiang Ping comes to this restaurant every night, as do Qin Yun and his six companions.
Jiang Ping discovered that Yao Hong had Yan Liang transformed by Yan Lianghua; her face was extremely pale, and she was being devoured even more rapidly.
In just one day, Yao Hong was no different from Yan Liang, with more than half of her internal organs devoured.
Tick-tock!
Blood dripped from the mouth of the old man in the burial clothes. He seemed to have grown tired of eating, and he even detached one foot from Yao Hong, stretching his arms out to look for a third target in the restaurant.
"Boss, check please!"
"Boss, check please!"
Jiang Ping immediately stood up.
At the same time, he noticed that another refined-looking man in white also chose to settle his bill at this time, even though the food and wine on his table had only just been served.
"Brother Dao has noticed this as well?"
The refined-looking man transmitted his voice to Jiang Ping.
The latter looked suspicious but appeared harmless. "What should I be careful about?"
"Forehead..."
The refined-looking man glanced at the empty plates and wine pots on Jiang Ping's table, but said nothing more.
Hmm, he's overthinking it.
Then, the young man in white strode away.
Jiang Ping followed closely behind, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.
"The Dao Tree stirs the heart; a Peerless Personage has arrived first."
To Jiang Ping's surprise, he had finally encountered a true master.
Of course, this is also a good thing. The other party should call someone to resolve the issue; otherwise, having to face an elderly person in a funeral shroud every day would be terrifying for them.
Sure enough, within just half a day, Unrivaled shockwave shook the entire Artificial Island.
At the edge of the sea, a blazing Blazing Sun hangs high, with boundless divine light covering the sky and earth.
Thump!
As the gentle chimes rang out, the world was instantly illuminated, and the entire area within a radius of 100,000 li was bathed in brilliant light, as bright as day.
An aura that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth spread, causing everyone to tremble and involuntarily bend their knees.
Jiang Ping's expression was extremely solemn; a peerless Peerless Strong, far beyond his reach, had arrived.
"This aura... hmm, it's Li Wanjuan."
A middle-aged man, sensing the fluctuation, exclaimed in surprise that he had recognized the person.
"Li Wanjuan, True God of the previous generation, Fire Refined True Gold and awakened his Undying characteristic ahead of time when he reached the Eighth Heaven. His strength rivaled that of the Unrivaled Nine Heavens."
Many people over two hundred years old were excited by the journey.
Every generation has its own legends, and in this era, the peerless and unapproachable Zhong Shenxiu Ji Wushuang looks down upon all the other geniuses.
A hundred years ago was the era of Li Wanjuan.
Those were also turbulent and brilliant years. Li Wanjuan belonged to the near-perfect Close to the Dao Seed, having reached the pinnacle of cultivation. Fire Refined True Gold, mastered the Undying characteristic ahead of time, and his strength was Unrivaled.
"Looking at all the extraordinary talents in the world, whether it is Tao Zhenzhang or Ji Wushuang, only by possessing the Undying characteristic at the Eighth Heaven can they prove themselves and make the reputation of Close to the Dao Seed truly deserved."
Li Wanjuan, having already been recognized, stood atop the summit, overlooking everything.
Many Goddess Shenyou shouted and leaped into the air to get closer, hoping to catch a glimpse of their former love.
However, the Blazing Sun crossed over and went far away.
At the same time, Jiang Ping discovered that Yan Liang and Yao Hong, who were already unconscious, had been taken hostage.
Yao Hong was filled with resentment. She hadn't even had a chance to shine on the island again before being robbed.
At the same time, the old man dressed in funeral clothes was also taken away.
"My God! There's something really wrong."
Shu Mingxiao and his two companions were utterly bewildered and felt a wave of fear wash over them. They were immediately filled with gratitude towards the mysterious Martial Artist had transmitted the message; they had almost been "infected" by the message.
Qin Yun was disheartened, having lost two powerful teammates in one day; truly, plans are no match for changes.
Later, a rumor spread that Li Wanjuan would appear because a Close to the Dao Seed encountered Nine Heavens Corpse Mutation in Forbidden Land.
"Nine Heavens Corpse Mutation? I've never heard of that before."
"You're not very knowledgeable. Generally speaking, this kind of situation is very difficult to occur. Even the corpses of those at the Nine Heavens cannot be preserved, let alone undergo a transformation. However, Forbidden Land is tainted by the power of the Near Dao, the combination of the two causes a transformation and the creation of vengeful spirits. Of course, it's fortunate that it's Nine Heavens Corpse Mutation. If it were True Saint Corpse Mutation, this place would cease to exist."
"So it seems the disappearances in Number Four Desolate Land were due to an encounter with the Nine Heavens Corpse Mutation."
"Not necessarily. There's something very strange there; it's the most dangerous place on the Desolate Land Seven Islands. Yan Liang encountered a zombie resurrection, but the others might not have experienced the same."
After hearing these remarks at the restaurant, Jiang Ping immediately decided that he absolutely must not go to the Number Four Desolate Land.
Thump!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion resounded once again throughout the area.
The sky changed color again, and the stars arrayed themselves, each one larger than the entire Yellow Springs Absolute Land, surrounding a figure.
"He is another Close to the Dao Seed- perfect master invited by Zhong Shenxiu, who will also prove himself through Fire Refined True Gold."
Some people were excited, and they were the first to recognize it.
Tonight, the stars are shining brightly, and two unparalleled geniuses have descended upon us.
Then, they lamented that if they could witness such powerful figures Dao Struggle, their lives would be without regret.
Jiang Ping and the other Close to the Dao Seed were also excited. The appearance of this peerless figure meant that they would soon be going to the island to compete.
"The time is set for the morning of the day after tomorrow, when Zhong Shenxiu will still be consolidating his cultivation."
A piece of news spread, making all the geniuses eagerly anticipate it, but soon they were astonished.
"What? Zhong Shenxiu broke again?"
Many people were stunned.
It turns out that Zhong Shenxiu had been breaking through his cultivation barrier these past few days, which was why he had been delayed.
But this only made them more numb.
It should be noted that Zhong Shenxiu last broke through a cultivation level more than a month ago. In such a short time, he has actually broken through again and established himself in the Sixth Heaven.
"I don't understand, I really don't understand."
Those Close to the Dao Seed were ashamed. This was the realm of divine travel, yet they could still achieve such a feat, breaking through the Crossing the Tribulation in a month. Once such a record was set, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to break it.
Jiang Ping remained nonchalant upon learning this, stating that the Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven were not a major hurdle and that there was not much difference between them; it all depended on the strength of their respective techniques.
He drank his wine quietly, awaiting the day he would arrive on the island.
As the day drew to a close, the Artificial Island became increasingly lively, with celebrities making appearances and causing a sensation.
"Ji Wushuang has arrived; she is meeting with friends at the Dengxian Tower."
Tao Zhenzhang also appeared.
News of the event spread rapidly, attracting considerable attention, and "pilgrims" flocked to the site.
The Jiang Ping is calm and the wind is gentle; one man drinks wine and gets drunk.
"Damn, Lin Tianjiao got hurt."
Another message came back, but the public's reaction was lukewarm.
Although Lin Tianjiao is strong, he is not comparable to Tao Zhenzhang and the others. It is normal for him to be injured. He was ganged up on and beaten before, and I heard that his hair was all pulled out.
"He was injured by someone of the Same Realm, but that person only tempered his sharpness with Water Fire Wind, and his foundation was similar to Hao Jun's, yet he easily tore apart Lin Tianjiao's Immeasurable Axe and Jietian Sword."
"What?" Everyone was astonished.
"Lin Tianjiao fought that person because that person spoke arrogantly and insulted Jiang Pingping of our Tianluo Region. Lin Tianjiao couldn't stand it and fought back, but ended up becoming a stepping stone for himself."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping also became somewhat uneasy.
This matter seems to be related to him.
