Taiyuan border, Xiaomen, Jiguan Hall.
Gongshu Wang, the patriarch of the Gongshu family, was meditating when he suddenly awoke with a start.
With a slight twitch of his right middle finger, a beam of light flowed outwards, and soon several figures entered the room.
The group respectfully asked, "Ancestor, what instructions do you have for us?"
"Yan'er has been killed!"
The group was shocked. One of them asked, "Does the patriarch know who did this?"
"Lanhua!"
"It's him!" someone exclaimed.
"Wasn't Yan'er taking the White Tiger to seek revenge on Qin Cheng? How did she run into Lan Hua?"
"Besides, Lan Hua only ascended to the Heavenly Realm not long ago, and Yan'er has a True-Rank White Tiger by his side. How could he possibly die at Lan Hua's hands? This doesn't make sense!"
"Lan Hua killed Yan'er. This revenge must be taken, and it must be taken together with the revenge for the mortal realm. Otherwise, my Gongshu family will lose face!"
The group discussed the matter, all agreeing that Lan Hua's murder of Gongshu Yan deserved an explanation.
"But the Xiaomen sect said we shouldn't seek revenge against Lanhua so easily!"
"Hmph, the Owl Clan is afraid of the Tantai Family and the Tianyu Management Committee, but what do we have to worry about?"
"We'll use our status as the Gongshu family to seek revenge on that brat Lan Hua!"
Gongshu Wang, who had been silent until now, nodded and said, "That's right. Lan Hua uprooted the Xiaomen sect in the lower realm, and the higher-ups of the Xiaomen sect didn't say a word. But that's the Xiaomen sect's business, and it's none of our concern."
However, we cannot ignore the fact that Lan Hua murdered members of my Gongshu sect. Kill him!
The desolate land.
Jian Yunfei said, "The duel is just a smokescreen; our real purpose is to find an opportunity to break through to the next realm!"
Qin Cheng looked the group up and down, making the young talents from several prominent families extremely uncomfortable.
"Brother Jian, from what I see, you are all at the mid-stage of the True Realm. Why are you in such a hurry for the breakthrough opportunity to the Profound Realm?"
Yu Tianxiang, a prodigy from the Confucian Church, said, "Brother Qin, you don't understand this, do you? Breaking through to the Xuan rank is so difficult that you need to plan ahead as soon as possible, otherwise, if you fall behind one step at a time, you'll fall behind every step of the way!"
"So that's how it is! No wonder even a Celestial Realm expert like Brother Zheng Shuang wanted to get involved!"
Qin Cheng's words were full of sarcasm. The latter sensed the mockery but dared not refute it, and could only stand there sulking.
Tan Xueqing suddenly said, "Stop wasting your breath here, let's get deeper!"
The beautiful woman's voice was very cold, devoid of any emotion, just like her white dress and name, giving people a cold feeling.
Zhu Wenxin, a prodigy of the Daoist sect, said, "What Sage Tan said is true. We are in the Desolate Land. Every minute we spend here is a minute more dangerous. It would be better to find an opportunity as soon as possible and get out of here!"
Lu Yuan and the others nodded in agreement, and then the group flew towards the depths of Tianhuang.
After flying for a day, the frequency of the silver arcs appeared greatly increased, and there was no discernible pattern to it.
Sometimes they wouldn't appear for a long time, and sometimes they would appear in quick succession for half an hour at a time, making it difficult for everyone to dodge them, so they decided to take a break.
Less than fifteen minutes after they had rested, dense silver arcs descended again, forcing everyone to take cover.
Just then, a dark figure rushed over and headed towards Zheng Shuang.
"careful!"
As Jian Yunfei dodged the silver arc, he gave a warning. Zheng Shuang, seeing the black shadow rushing towards them, was horrified and quickly summoned a black axe, slashing it down at the shadow.
The dark figure let out a cry and unleashed a burst of energy, blocking Zheng Shuang's axe, but Zheng Shuang was sent flying by the force of the attack.
Several more silver arcs fell, and just as they were about to hit Zheng Shuang, Tan Xueqing made her move.
The beautiful woman drew a talisman in the air with her right fingertip, instantly teleporting Zheng Shuang and saving her life.
"Transposition symbol?"
Lan Hua was taken aback, thinking to herself that he truly deserved to be called a talisman master, as he knew so many talismans.
He was confident that he could draw the talisman as well, as long as he knew how to draw it.
Qin Cheng recognized the dark figure and shouted, "Everyone be careful! That's a Black Ancient Bird!"
After dodging the silver arc, Jian Yunfei coldly snorted, "It's just a True-Rank Black Ancient Bird. Watch me destroy it!"
He formed a sword shape with his right hand and pointed it at the dark figure, instantly unleashing countless sword beams.
Although the Black Ancient Bird had good agility, it was trapped by the three silver arcs and could not avoid Jian Yunfei's sword, resulting in its wing being injured.
On the other side, Yu Tianxiang raised his palm to the sky, and a scroll appeared in the sky with the four characters "Ten Thousand Scrolls of Sacred Book" written on it.
The sacred book unleashed a dazzling purple light, intending to suppress the enormous black bird.
The Black Ancient Bird was enveloped in holy light, as if it were under immense pressure, weighing more than a million pounds, and plummeted straight to the ground.
Seeing this, Cui Xianghai thrust out with his spear, and a huge spear shadow pierced the body of the black ancient bird, causing a miserable scream.
At the same time, Zhu Wenxin summoned a Tai Chi symbol and charged towards the Black Ancient Bird.
The Tai Chi diagram, as thin as a cicada's wing, cut straight into the Black Ancient Bird's body and entered the bird's interior.
Then several bursts of energy erupted, completely annihilating the Black Ancient Bird.
Lan Hua dodged a silver arc and watched as a late-stage True Rank Black Ancient Bird was killed. From the moment it launched its sneak attack to its death, only a few breaths had passed.
"Damn, these people are really something else. They're truly a group of geniuses!"
Qin Cheng dodged and caught the still-falling corpse of the Black Ancient Bird, flatteringly saying, "Fellow Daoists are indeed strong! You've annihilated this powerful figure in just a few rounds!"
"By the way, do you still want this black ancient bird carcass?"
Jian Yunfei frowned. "It's just a corpse. What's the point of keeping it?"
Qin Cheng was overjoyed, "Alright, if you don't want it, I'll take it, thank you!"
Lan Hua flew to his side and laughed, "Brother Qin, this time you really made a killing!"
"That's right! If we follow these geniuses deep into the desolate land, we'll definitely make a lot of money!"
After a short rest, the group resumed their journey and, after ten days of continuous exploration, had already approached the core area of ​​Tianhuang.
Suddenly, a burst of flames descended. Seeing this, no one dared to resist. The flames fell rapidly, engulfing the sky for more than ten miles around.
Having been in Tianhuang for so long, everyone has become very sensitive to anything that suddenly appears in the sky. The power of anything that appears is no less than that of the silver arc.
In particular, the space deep within the desolate wilderness is unstable, the power of heaven and earth is rampant, and an unpredictable wind constantly surrounds everyone, which is caused by the imbalance of the power of heaven and earth.
Jian Yunfei sighed, "Could that fire just now have been heavenly fire? Its power was truly terrifying!"
Qin Cheng frowned and asked, "Do you all still intend to go deeper?"
Cui Xianghai was already having second thoughts, saying, "Being able to get this far is probably our limit!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a tornado appeared out of nowhere, sweeping across the surrounding area.
"retreat!"
Jian Yunfei shouted, and everyone quickly retreated dozens of miles to avoid the tornado's attack.
Tan Xueqing's beautiful face showed deep worry as she said softly, "Going any deeper would be dangerous; we shouldn't stay here any longer!"
Zheng Shuang replied, "But we've been here for so many days, and we still haven't found the opportunity to become a Venerable One!"
Lan Hua smiled. "Perhaps, there is no such thing as a Venerable's opportunity in this desolate place. What do you all think?"
