Mu Han's appearance immediately alarmed everyone in the entire Ge Thunder Mountain Range. High in the sky, nearly a hundred Half-Emperor looked solemnly at the approaching Mo Zhai and his group, their gazes filled with gravity as they fell on Mu Han, who was at the head of the group.
"Unexpectedly, the news that came out not long ago was true. Mu Han, Nine-Star Half-Emperor, is actually going to enter the Void Lightning Pool. Could it be that he is about to break through the nine-star barrier and advance to the Dou Di?"
All eyes were on Mu Han, and various whispers and comments quietly spread throughout the area.
"Tch, what's this about advancing to the Dou Di level? Reaching the level of Nine-Star Half-Emperor is difficult enough to break through on its own. It's impossible to simply rely on external forces. To break through, one still needs to rely on their own cultivation. Even if his current strength is at the Late Nine-Star Half-Emperor, thinking he can break through by using the Void Lightning Pool is just wishful thinking."
"Indeed, the gap between Nine-Star Half-Emperor and Dou Di is enormous. It's not easy to cross that gap easily. Moreover, it's said that when one breaks through to Dou Di, Emperor Tribulation will descend. If one cannot withstand it, one will be reduced to ashes. Even Mu Han would never dare to bear such a price lightly."
"Hey, I heard he came here specifically for Yan Xiao. Did you see Mo Zhai and the others behind him? That's proof. Besides, didn't Yan Xiao refine a full-grade Emperor Tribulation Pill before? Hehe, that's an essential item for Half-Emperor to break through to Dou Di. Maybe that's what attracted him here."
Upon hearing the most compelling explanation, the assembled Half-Emperor finally nodded in agreement. After all, this was the only explanation that best matched their preconceived notions.
Hearing the words coming from the people around him, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan calm until the mention of the full-grade Emperor Tribulation Pill, at which point a slight ripple appeared on his otherwise composed face.
If these Half-Emperor level experts hadn't mentioned it, he might have really forgotten that the Emperor Tribulation Pill was precisely prepared for Nine-Star Half-Emperor.
Therefore, the reason why Mu Han attacked me was probably not only because I killed Wu Mohui, but also because the Emperor Tribulation Pill was one of his targets!
Thinking of this, a cold smile involuntarily crept onto Xiao Yan's lips, and a brilliant glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Mu Han and his group arrived at the Ge Thunder Mountain. Their sharp gazes swept over Xiao Yan and his companions. When they saw Elder Xuan standing next to Xiao Yan, they couldn't help but frown slightly. Who would have thought that Elder Xuan of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion would appear here?
After the last incident, Mu Han was clearly much more restrained and cautious in his actions. As for Elder Xuan, who was present at this moment, Mu Han did not pay much attention to him.
Elder Xuan had never entered the Void Lightning Pool before, and he believed this time would be no exception.
The group passed by Xiao Yan and his party, finally landing on a mountain peak relatively close to Ge Thunder Mountain. The summit was a flat area as if it had been slashed by a knife. The group slowly descended, found a random spot, and sat cross-legged with their eyes closed.
Xiao Yan and the others slowly swept their gazes over Mu Han and the others. When Xiao Yan saw Old Monster Hu sitting cross-legged at the very edge of the group, his eyes flickered slightly. Judging from their positions, Old Monster Hu was indeed the most isolated one among them.
Xiao Yan chuckled lightly, pondering to himself, and then ignored it. However, when his gaze fell on Mu Han, who was at the front of the group, he couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling somewhat surprised.
At the same time, Gu Li and the other two beside Xiao Yan, as well as some other Half-Emperor experts, all fixed their gazes on Mu Han.
At this moment, Mu Han stared straight ahead, his vast Spiritual Strength condensing into an invisible tornado that swirled around Mu Han, accompanied by howling winds.
Directly in front of Mu Han were the three large characters " Ge Thunder Mountain " formed by the pressure of Dou Di expert. At this moment, Mu Han was staring intently at those three characters.
Unconsciously, a terrifying pressure coalesced into a majestic figure towering over the sky, with its hands behind its back, looking down at Mu Han, who was sitting cross-legged at its feet.
The terrifying aura was like Mount Tai. Although Mu Han's Spiritual Strength had already entered the Realm of Unity, he still found it extremely difficult to cope with the pressure from this Dou Di expert.
Xiao Yan and the others used their Spiritual Strength to investigate the scene before them. Everyone was shocked. Although it seemed difficult, Mu Han still sat calmly and steadily in the face of the pressure of the Dou Di. In terms of this, apart from Gu You inside Xiao Yan's body, there was probably no one else present who could do it.
This is enough to demonstrate Mu Han's formidable strength!
"Bang!"
Above the void, several figures surrounded an injured old man, their eyes filled with intense greed.
Although the old man had blood at the corner of his mouth and some bruises on his face, judging from his breathing, he had not suffered any major injuries. However, given the current situation, he was unable to advance or retreat.
Among the group surrounding Qin Zhong, a lean old man holding a dagger in each hand was looking at Qin Zhong with a sinister smile. His scarlet tongue was lightly licking the blood off the daggers, a sight that made him feel even more bloodthirsty.
Savoring the blood on his tongue, the lean old man sneered at Qin Zhong:
"Hmph, Qin Zhong, we don't mean to make things difficult for you, but as you know, there are only about thirty people who can enter the Void Lightning Pool. And which one of them isn't incredibly powerful? Aside from Yan Xiao, who isn't High-Level Half-Emperor? What makes you think you can get in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, robust old man with a tiger-like physique beside him also let out a cold laugh and said:
"Haha, Blood Snake is right. We also know that you have a good relationship with Yan Xiao. With him protecting you, you can naturally enter the Void Lightning Pool. Heh, but don't forget, he's in dire straits himself right now. Master Mu personally took action this time. No matter how many tricks a mere Three-Star Half-Emperor has, he can't escape death in front of Nine-Star Half-Emperor!"
"Hehehehe... Don't even think about expecting that Yan Xiao to protect you. Rather than making us take action, I advise you to hand over the Lightning Invitation to us now, and we might let you escape unscathed. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
A sharp shout rang out, Qin Zhong's expression turned solemn. He knew something about Mu Han and Xiao Yan's situation. He knew how powerful the enemy Xiao Yan was about to face was, but it was precisely because of this that he wanted to enter the Lightning Pool, hoping to lend Xiao Yan a helping hand.
Seemingly sensing Qin Zhong's thoughts, the lean old man sneered again, mocking:
"If you want to enter the Lightning Pool to help Yan Xiao, I advise you not to even think about it. Their opponents are all High-Level Half-Emperor. Even if you went in, you would only be adding another burden to him. You would only increase his pressure for no reason..."
"So I advise you to obediently hand over Lightning Invitation. Maybe we'll take pity on him and save his dog's life, hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Half-Emperor burst into laughter, their gazes towards Qin Zhong filled with disdain.
"Don't push your luck! Even if he's no match for Mu Han, he's not someone you few Five-Star Half-Emperor can insult! If he were here right now, would you dare to speak so arrogantly and hurl insults at him like this!"
Hearing the mockery of the lean old man and the others, Qin Zhong was instantly enraged. His Dou Qi surged, and his hands clenched tightly under his sleeves. His face turned red, and the veins on his hands bulged and twisted.
Xiao Yan had helped him several times, and he had long regarded Xiao Yan as his savior. Even his clan had erected a statue of Xiao Yan for the clan members to worship. Now, hearing these scoundrels insulting Xiao Yan like this, he naturally could not tolerate it.
But in response to Qin Zhong's fury, the lean old man who led the group, the burly old man with broad shoulders and thick waist, and the other three Half-Emperor all let out a disdainful, mocking laugh.
The lean old man looked at Qin Zhong with disdain and sneered:
"What, are you angry? We're cursing Yan Xiao, and you're getting really worked up. Looks like Yan Xiao is important to you. What, you've taken him for a godfather? Hahahaha! Well then, I'll curse your godfather! He's just a dying man, what's the big deal!"
"Heh, indeed, it's just the words of a dying man, nothing serious. If you don't like it... just kill him... don't you think so?"
Just as the lean old man finished speaking and before he could even catch his breath, a chilling voice, as if it came from the deepest hell, faintly rang in his ear.
The next instant, the gaunt old man's pupils suddenly contracted, and then everything went black before his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he had lost all signs of life.
