Once the news spread, everyone in the council hall split into three groups and set out at once.
At some point, Zhou Zelin had joined up with the three from the Flowing Wind Sect, and they traveled together.
Meng Zhi was with Zhao Guangyao.
Li Chuan was with Zhu Zhongye.
All of them were Gang Force experts, and they soon arrived at the foot of Emerald Mist Ridge.
Meng Zhi looked at the others and cupped her fists.
"The location where the Earth Treasure will emerge is still unknown. Let us part ways here and talk again after we come out."
With that, Meng Zhi took Zhao Guangyao and casually picked a direction before heading in.
No one knew where the Earth Treasure was, so for now, they could only try their luck.
After Meng Zhi and Zhao Guangyao entered, He Luosheng coldly watched Zhu Zhongye and Li Chuan, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.
He seemed to be weighing whether to make a move.
Yet after three breaths, the light in his eyes receded again, and he said coldly,
"Let's go!"
Zhu Zhongye spat.
"That damned Zhou Zelin. As a man of our Sanyuan Prefecture, he actually hooked up with the Flowing Wind Sect."
Li Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Combined with the way Zhou Zelin had always looked at him, he could roughly guess the purpose behind their alliance.
They were both considering whether they could deal with the two from the Heavenly Blade Sect.
Zhu Zhongye said,
"Let's head in first. We'll go from the east."
Zhu Zhongye led Li Chuan into Emerald Mist Ridge from the eastern side.
The moment they entered, Li Chuan sensed the difference from the outside world.
From outside, Emerald Mist Ridge had merely seemed somewhat shrouded in clouds and mist.
