The Five Elements Dao Arena!

At that moment, Mu Qingyu arrived at the entrance to the God-Burial Mountain Secret Realm and formed seals with both hands. A sword hilt appeared, shimmering with seven-colored light.

Under the watching eyes of the crowd, the sword hilt dropped straight into the formation base at the entrance.

Whoosh!

At that instant, rays of formation light rose, and the passage into the God-Burial Mountain Secret Realm opened.

"Everyone, you will have only three days in the God-Burial Mountain Secret Realm!"

"God-Burial Mountain is fraught with danger. If you are not confident, do not force your way through!"

Mu Qingyu said.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Figure after figure shot forward and entered the God-Burial Mountain Secret Realm.

"Let's go in too!"

Qin Guanyu said.

"Yes!"

Xu Qingyang, Su Zilian, and Xu Qingying nodded.

The next moment.

The four of them entered the God-Burial Mountain Secret Realm as well.

A short while later.

Xu Qingyang, Qin Guanyu, and the other two were transported outside a bamboo grove. Ahead lay a river whose end was nowhere in sight, with a black stone bridge spanning it.

"Brother, doesn't that look like a stone tablet over there?"

Just then, Xu Qingying noticed a tablet fashioned from glazed bronze stone standing beside the black stone bridge.

Hearing her, Xu Qingyang looked toward the tablet and saw three large characters carved into it: "Naihe Bridge."

"Naihe Bridge?"

Xu Qingyang thought for a moment, then murmured to himself, "According to legend, didn't the Naihe Bridge disappear at Azure Heaven Pass along with the owner of the Great Dao Diagram? How could it be here?"

Qin Guanyu fell silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps the Naihe Bridge never disappeared at Azure Heaven Pass and has been here all along?"

Meanwhile, Su Zilian stared at the Naihe Bridge, a strange light flickering in her eyes. Seemingly recalling something, she said, "I once read in a book that wherever the Naihe Bridge appears, strange things happen!"

Hearing this, Xu Qingyang, Qin Qingyang, and Xu Qingying froze.

Just then, a fat man dressed in black appeared on the Naihe Bridge. He glanced at Xu Qingyang and the other three and said, "It's just the Naihe Bridge, and you're still hesitating, too scared to cross?"

He had barely finished speaking when a large golden fish flew out of the river, electricity flashing across its body as it lunged to bite him.

"Huh?"

Seemingly sensing the Golden Fish's attack, he gripped his black saber and was about to strike back, only for the fish to bite his backside before he could.

In an instant, the Golden Fish discharged its lightning, leaving the fat man in black sprawled on the ground like a lump of charcoal.

"Hahaha!"

Su Zilian and Xu Qingying were immediately amused by the fat man in black and burst out laughing.

"Zhao Chenghuang, I told you not to rush ahead. Now you've paid for it!"

Suddenly, a girl in a short red dress stood on the Naihe Bridge, her delicate hands on her hips. Looking at the fat man on the ground, she spoke in exasperation.

"Sis!"

Hearing her, the fat man in black raised his head and looked at the girl in red. "How was I supposed to know this fish had lightning powers?"

"Hmph!"

The girl in red snorted.

Then she turned her gaze toward Xu Qingyang and said with a bright smile, "Hey, handsome, let's get acquainted. I'm Zhao Churan from the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion!"

"The Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion?"

Xu Qingyang frowned. Su Zilian said, "Brother Yang, the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion is an intelligence organization within the Skyflame Kingdom. Besides that, its overall strength is quite formidable!"

Understanding dawned on Xu Qingyang's face. He then looked at Zhao Churan and said, "Xu Qingyang!"

When Zhao Churan heard his name, her eyes lit up. Rather excited, she said, "You're Xu Qingyang, the young master of the Xu Family in Heavenly Martial City! You worked for fifteen years to awaken your martial soul, then lost it, yet still managed to rise again!"

"The Qi Family of Heavenly Martial City and the Ye Family of Nanyang Prefecture both lost all face because of you!"

"I hear you also know the White Tiger King. After the secret realm closes, could you introduce me to him?"

As her words fell, Zhao Churan's pretty face filled with bashfulness.

Holy shit!

Is this White Tiger King identity I invented really that impressive?

Even a prodigy from the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion wants to meet him...

Xu Qingyang grumbled inwardly, then smiled. "Miss Zhao, the White Tiger King's whereabouts are unpredictable. If I see him, I'll introduce you!"

"Then let me thank you in advance!"

Zhao Churan cupped her hands.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Several figures, both men and women, appeared beside Zhao Churan and Zhao Chenghuang.

They were experts from the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion.

Zhao Churan looked at the purple-robed man beside her and smiled. "Senior Brother, that's Xu Qingyang, the one who knows the White Tiger King!"

Hearing this, the purple-robed man glanced at Xu Qingyang before withdrawing his gaze. "Junior Sister Zhao, it's time for us to cross the Naihe Bridge!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Churan nodded.

The next moment.

They crossed the Naihe Bridge as fast as they could. Even so, demonic beasts in the river attacked them, leaving quite a few injured.

Then Xu Qingyang, Qin Guanyu, Su Zilian, and Xu Qingying shot forward and quickly crossed the Naihe Bridge.

However, among the experts from the various factions who arrived afterward, some were swallowed up by the demonic beasts in the river.

Thus, those experts who managed to cross the Naihe Bridge were all exceptionally powerful.

Among the Nanyang Ye Family's group, a man in a crimson shirt looked toward Xu Qingyang and said, "Xu Qingyang's strength really is something!"

"Seizing his fortuitous opportunities and killing him won't be easy!"

As he spoke.

He opened his palm, and a map made from beast hide appeared.

"The place where we're standing now lies between the Naihe Bridge and the Five Elements Dao Arena!"

"I've heard the Five Elements Dao Arena is a burial ground for gods. If we can lure Xu Qingyang and his companions inside, we can use the power there to kill him!"

Hearing this, everyone looked delighted. "Lord Ye Feng, that's a brilliant plan!"

Ye Feng smiled. Perhaps my strength isn't top-tier, but my cunning certainly is.

By then, Zhao Churan and her companions had already headed toward the Five Elements Dao Arena.

Xu Qingyang and his companions, however, still had not moved.

Ye Feng immediately led his people over to Xu Qingyang and said, "Young Master Xu, rumor has it that the Five Elements Dao Arena contains treasures beyond imagination. Aren't you going?"

Hearing this, Xu Qingyang glanced at Ye Feng and frowned, thinking, Isn't this fellow being a little too enthusiastic?

Xu Qingyang smiled and deliberately said, "Brother, although the Five Elements Dao Arena contains treasures, it's extremely dangerous. I think we'd be better off going somewhere else, wouldn't we?"

At these words.

Ye Feng froze, the corners of his mouth twitching.

I've already planned how to kill you in the Five Elements Dao Arena!

And now you want to go somewhere else?

Are you screwing with me?

At that moment, Ye Feng felt utterly miserable.
