In a desolate, ancient forest on the border between the Eastern and Northern Regions.

Shen Bao was about to enter the northern territory.

Meng Huo narrowed his eyes slightly.

With veins bulging all over his body, he unleashed a barbarian secret technique, beginning to unleash his own potential.

A terrifying aura of the Saint Emperor realm emanated from Meng Huo.

The surrounding space hummed, seemingly unable to withstand such a powerful force.

Meng Huo actually sacrificed his lifespan to forcibly enter the Saint Emperor realm.

call!

In an instant.

Meng Huo traversed countless dimensions.

It suddenly appeared directly in front of Shen Bao as he fled.

Bang!

Before Shen Bao could react...

With one kick, he sent the shocked Shen Bao flying.

puff!

Shen Bao spat out a mouthful of blood.

It fell to the ground not far away.

I was too weak to get up again.

He stared incredulously at Meng Huo, who had suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Pointing at Meng Huo, he said in surprise.

"You...you actually risked...sacrificing your lifespan...to use a secret technique...."

"You're so cruel!"

"Hmph! If we don't catch you now, once you enter the Northern Territory, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we'll never be able to catch you!"

Meng Huo let out a cold laugh.

Although it cost him fifty years of his lifespan.

Using a secret technique, he briefly entered the Saint Emperor realm.

But now that we've caught Shen Bao, it's all worth it.

Looking back, the Lord's reward will surely make up for those fifty years of lifespan.

Meng Huo looked at Shen Bao, who now resembled a lamb to the slaughter.

He let out a cold snort.

"Take it down!"

At that very moment.

A mutation occurred.

Rumble! Rumble!

The void above this area.

Suddenly, the doors and windows cracked open.

Countless ancient warships emerged from it.

Its aura was terrifying and powerful.

The lead warship exuded an aura that seemed to shake the heavens.

Meng Huo narrowed his eyes.

On the lead warship, every aura made him feel as if he were facing Yun Taichu, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect.

Great Sage!

So many Great Sages!

Meng Huo and his clansmen were all on high alert, remaining silent in fear.

Not moving at all.

They were afraid of angering these people.

They would all be dead if they moved even a single finger.

The people on the warship had obviously also discovered the group in the forest below.

The three men dressed in black at the very front of the lead warship looked coldly at Meng Huo and his men below.

It was like looking at ants.

The leader spoke calmly.

"He's just a junior who has just entered the Saint Emperor realm. Let's not delay important matters and set off."

A junior at the Saint Emperor Realm?

Such a tone.

This shows how terrifying the men in black on the warship were.

Shen Bao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

A junior at the Saint Emperor Realm?

Doesn't that mean the person in front of us is incredibly powerful, and even Saint Emperor realm beings are not to be trifled with?

"Senior, please wait!"

A classic line came from Shen Bao's mouth.

It was as if it had stirred up some mysterious power in the world.

The men in black on the warship, as if possessed, stopped the ship from starting.

"Um?"

The leader of the men in black turned to look at Shen Bao, and a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

Despite being a Great Sage, he actually felt an irresistible force.

What's going on here?

The man in black looked down with a puzzled expression.

The powerful divine sense of the Great Sage Realm spread out, scanning the entire scene.

"Huh? An unusual constitution! Could it be an auspicious body?"

Clearly, his powerful divine sense also revealed Shen Bao's unusual nature.

In the darkness, it seemed as if an invisible force was protecting him, preventing him from being harmed.

The stronger a person's cultivation, the more they can feel this invisible power.

They seem to be chosen by the heavens and earth, protected by them.

Therefore, the man in black guessed that it was an auspicious omen.

"What?"

Two men in black behind him were drawn over by his words.

All eyes were fixed on Shen Bao, scrutinizing him intently.

It seems they want to see through it all.

Shen Bao saw that his tried-and-true lines were working again.

Like a drowning person grasping at a straw.

Ignoring the immense pressure emanating from him, he shouted with all his might.

"Seniors, help! These people are savages from Savage Valley, who hunt cultivators who venture into the Wild Forest for training!"

Shen Bao doesn't care about anything else now, as long as he can survive.

Meng Huo: Holy crap, you're the savage!

However, judging from the clothes of his underlings behind him, they really did look like savages.

Seeing the powerful figures on the warship, they seemed inclined to be persuaded.

Meng Huo quickly stepped forward and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

"Seniors, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. We are from the Longevity Dynasty of the Southern Region, and we have come here to hunt down this person."

"Oh? The Southern Region? The Eternal Life Dynasty?"

The man in black on the left looked slightly surprised and said in a hoarse voice.

"Twelfth Brother, is there a problem?"

The leader was quite surprised to see that the person on his left was actually interested in the Southern Longevity Dynasty.

In their eyes, let alone imperial dynasties, even the most powerful dynasties were merely slightly stronger.

"Tenth Brother, have you forgotten what the Lord told us before we came out? A dynasty in the Southern Region killed our people. I think that dynasty was called the Longevity Dynasty."

After the person on the left explained.

Thud! Thud!

With a wave of his hand, he instantly crushed several barbarian men dressed in animal skins below into a bloody mist.

He then used a secret technique to draw in several streams of hazy gas, which he inhaled directly into his nose.

It was those few barbarians who died, their souls scattered.

call!

Close your eyes and enjoy it.

"you!"

Meng Huo was furious, for these were his brothers who had risked their lives for him.

He was murdered in such a cruel way.

I only regret that my cultivation level is too low.

"this...."

Shen Bao was also taken aback by such a tactic.

Surely the secret passage won't lead from one fire pit to another.

"Hehe, it really is that dynasty. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to me without any effort."

The man in black robes on the left absorbed the memories within the souls of the several barbarians and obtained the information he wanted.

He chuckled ominously.

He looked at Meng Huo like a tiger eyeing its prey.

The almanac for today indicates it's auspicious for travel.

Otherwise, with such a vast southern region, where would one find such an insignificant dynasty?

If we searched aimlessly like that, it would probably take forever.

"Good! Very good! You're actually the ruler of a vassal dynasty of that so-called imperial dynasty. Then let's use you as a sacrifice for the flag!"

boom!

A terrifying aura emanated from him, far surpassing the aura of the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect back then.

A terrifying pressure descended upon Meng Huo.

It felt like facing the might of heaven, as if my bones were about to be crushed.

"Chief! Run! Remember to avenge us!"

Behind Meng Huo, countless clansmen shouted loudly.

He rushed forward, wanting to risk his life to buy him time to escape.

"Hmph! Ants are ants, no matter how many there are!"

The man in black robes let out a cold snort.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Countless barbarians turned into a bloody mist.

In the blink of an eye.

Only Meng Huo remained at the scene; all the rest of his clansmen had perished.

"Ah... this sovereign will fight you to the death!"

Meng Huo's eyes were bloodshot, and he once again used a secret technique to forcibly increase his cultivation level.

It briefly broke through the opponent's oppressive aura, soared into the sky, and wanted to fight them.

puff!

A huge head flew up.

"Our lord...will not let...you go!"

These were Meng Huo's last words.

Thump!

A headless corpse fell into the forest below.

"Overestimating yourself!"

The man in black robes smacked him dismissively, as if crushing an ant.

"King Meng!"

Sudden.

A furious voice came from the depths of the forest not far away.
