Shen Yuan was stunned, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

The scarlet eyes full of oppression undoubtedly came from the Lord of Beimang Mountain, and the words full of shock were naturally said by the number one ghost immortal in the world.

But what Shen Yuan could be sure of was that he had never met the Lord of Beimang Mountain, and there was no intersection between the two sides.

But the expression and words of the Lord of Beimang Mountain did not seem false. It was just the first time they met. The world's number one ghost immortal would not use such a small trick to mislead Shen Yuan.

"Then there is only one possible truth.

It is very likely that what the Lord of Beimang Mountain saw was not me now, but me who traveled back in time thousands of years ago!"

Shen Yuan realized this immediately, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart and showed a calm attitude.

He did not respond to the Lord of Beimang Mountain, because the one who would actually come into contact with the Lord of Beimang Mountain was his future self. If he said anything wrong now, it might arouse the Lord of Beimang Mountain's suspicion, so he simply did not make any positive response.

With a calm and indifferent expression on his face, Shen Yuan said in a low voice:

"You've crossed the line."

Within the ancient forbidden land, the mist that filled the sky had long since dissipated with the departure of the Ghost King.

In the valley filled with corpses, a special space outside the real world vaguely appeared.

It was a desolate space, like a huge mass grave. Looking around, billions of graves occupied the entire space.

This is the abode of countless ancient dead souls, and it is also the tomb of the last human emperor of Daxuan, a true ancient forbidden place.

As early as when the spiritual energy of the Xuanhuang Realm was cut off, countless souls trapped in the ancient forbidden land, in order to save themselves, used the resentment of the Human Emperor and his infinite power to forcibly open up a special blessed land in the Dharma Ending Age.

This space uses the ancient forbidden land in the present world as an anchor point, exiling itself outside the endless void to avoid the impact of the collapse of rules caused by the depletion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This blessed land created by the power of dead souls has become the only life-saving straw in the ancient forbidden land.

But even with such a special blessed land as support, most of the souls in the ancient forbidden land still could not survive the long period of spiritual energy depletion and died.

Even the curse that was transformed from the resentment of the Great Xuan Emperor before his death dissipated in the long wash of time.

In the center of this ancient blessed land, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and with a sinister temperament had an unpleasant look on his face.

He is the lord of Beimang Mountain and the only remaining ghost immortal in this ancient blessed land.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Shen Yuan, with a changeable look in his eyes.

As the ruler of Beimang Mountain and the number one ghost immortal in the world, the Lord of Beimang Mountain once presided over a complete blessed land.

However, during the first depletion of spiritual energy, the blessed land of Beimang Mountain collapsed directly, and many powerful men under his command died in the disaster of the collapse of the blessed land.

The terrifying threat brought by the period of spiritual energy depletion is unbearable. The Lord of Beimang Mountain has no choice but to lead the surviving ghosts under his command into the ancient forbidden land.

He discovered in the ancient forbidden land that the curse that once could kill immortals had disappeared, and he found a space anchor point in the valley, through which he found the ancient blessed land and was able to survive.

After successfully passing the period of spiritual energy depletion, the Lord of Beimang Mountain thought that he could return to the world and dominate the ghost cave of Beimang Mountain. However, the suppression of the Ten Hells of Hell array confined him to the ancient forbidden land.

No matter how the world changes, when the next round of spiritual energy depletion comes, the Lord of Beimang Mountain is still unable to escape and can only be forcibly trapped in the ancient forbidden land.

During the second period of spiritual energy depletion, the Lord of Beimang Mountain finally felt a crisis that he had never felt before.

Although the ancient blessed land was created by the ancient dead souls, its essence is ultimately a blessed land. During the period of spiritual energy depletion, a large amount of resources must be consumed to maintain the stability of the blessed land.

Not only the blessed land, but also the ten sacred caves and thirty-six caves require massive resources.

The Lord of Beimang Mountain has been trapped in the ancient forbidden land and unable to leave. He can't find any resources to maintain the stability of the ancient blessed land.

Finally, during the second era of spiritual energy depletion, the Lord of Beimang Mountain chose to dig out those ancient souls from the tombs in the ancient blessed land and sacrifice them as nutrients to the blessed land to maintain stability.

Relying on digging graves, the Lord of Beimang Mountain barely survived the second period of spiritual energy depletion.

Realizing the danger in the ancient forbidden land, the Lord of Beimang Mountain began to seek a glimmer of hope. He bewitched the human souls near the ancient forbidden land to serve him and collect resources for him to maintain the stability of the ancient blessed land.

In addition, the Lord of Beimang Mountain also began to look for ways to break the Ten Courts of Hell formation through various channels.

In an accident, a ghost king bewitched by the Lord of Beimang Mountain got in touch with the ghost general of the underworld, and found the Wheel King who was behind the ghost general and wanted to intervene in the affairs of the world. He reached a contract with the Wheel King with a treasure on his body.

However, before the Wheel King could fulfill his promise and join forces with several other Yamas to solve the Ten Courts of Yama formation, the period of spiritual energy depletion had already arrived, and the Lord of Beimang Mountain lost contact with the Wheel King.

During the third period of spiritual energy depletion, in order to stabilize the ancient blessed land and protect himself, the Lord of Beimang Mountain not only sacrificed all the ancient dead souls in the ancient forbidden land, but also sacrificed several ghost fairies and great ghost kings under his command, leaving only the ghost king who was connected with the Wheel King.

After the spiritual energy tide revived, the Lord of Beimang Mountain also used the backup plan left over three thousand years ago to extract the spiritual energy in Beimang Mountain for recovery.

Until a few days ago, the Lord of Beimang Mountain had a premonition that the rules of heaven and earth would further revive, and at that time, some flaws would appear in the Ten Courts of Hell formation during the process of rule changes.

As long as the opportunity is seized, the Ghost King can escape from the ancient forbidden land and contact the Wheel King in the outside world.

He can also use the ghost den to spread and bring down some of the power in Beimang Mountain.

Under the temptation of the Lord of Beimang Mountain's intentional disclosure of the rule that he could not attack ordinary people in the forbidden area, the families behind those dead practitioners sent an exploration team.

Just a little provocation of people's hearts can cause humans to kill each other, and then the Ghost King can secretly escape and spread the ghost den.

All these plans are so perfect. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to send down some of his power to suppress the ghost den in Beimang Mountain in two days. Within a few months, the Ten Courts of Hell formation will be released, and the name of the First Ghost Immortal will once again resound throughout the Xuanhuang Realm.

However, this perfect plan was destroyed by a person, and this person had come into contact with him ten thousand years ago.

Recalling the young man in white clothes who looked like an immortal thousands of years ago and the overlapping figure of the young man in front of him, the Lord of Beimang Mountain's eyes became increasingly gloomy, and he felt a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Ten thousand years have passed. Why is he here and not being suppressed by any backlash from heaven and earth?"

"Is he really here to fulfill what he said ten thousand years ago?"

The uneasiness in his heart gradually turned into a trace of fear, but the Lord of Beimang Mountain knew very well that he must not show any cowardice in front of Shen Yuan. The majestic and low voice was transmitted from the ancient blessed land to the outside world.

"Crossing the border? Beimang Mountain is my territory.

You killed my ghost king and forcibly took my ghost den. You are the one who really crossed the line!"

Shen Yuan just smiled coldly:

"You don't need to change the subject, you should know exactly what I mean by crossing the line.

You colluded with Yama Luo to disrupt the balance of the world. You are known as the number one ghost fairy in Xuanhuang Realm, so why are you willing to be a dog for Yama Luo? "

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Beimang Mountain's sinister expression instantly turned into rage.

This was the first time someone dared to speak to him like this since he became the world's number one ghost immortal.

It can be imagined that thousands of years ago, he used the power of corpse reincarnation to ascend to the fairyland and became a ghost immortal. He used the power of corpse reincarnation to help several powerful men whose life span had ended to transform into ghost immortals, and then established the ghost den in Beimang Mountain.

At his peak, there were eight ghost immortals in the Beimang Mountain Ghost Cave, and countless ghost kings under his command. Even the underworld had to give him some leeway. If it weren't for the Xuanhuang Realm's disconnection from heaven and earth, and the reincarnation during the period of spiritual energy exhaustion that destroyed everything, he was even confident that he could become a ghost power on par with the Ten Kings of Hell.

Shen Yuan's words undoubtedly hit his sore spot.

Facing Shen Yuan's ridicule, the Lord of Beimang Mountain took a deep breath, and naturally sneered and said:

“Seeing that you were able to avoid the backlash of heaven and earth and appear here, I thought you had some special means and almost got fooled by you.

If you could maintain the peak strength you had ten thousand years ago, with your temper, you would have already entered the Ancient Forbidden Land instead of standing outside the Ancient Forbidden Land and making mockery. "

"You are able to ignore the backlash of heaven and earth and appear here, which proves that you have not displayed a realm that exceeds the limits of the rules of heaven and earth. At best, you are only at the state of transformation.

With this level of cultivation, if you dare to step into the ancient forbidden land, I can easily crush you to death with just one finger."

Shen Yuan's pupils trembled slightly, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Although the Lord of Beimang Mountain's words showed no sign of weakness, Shen Yuan could still hear some hint of weakness in them.

This is enough to show that the Lord of Beimang Mountain is indeed wary of him.

But at this moment, how could Shen Yuan not care about the strength of the Lord of Beimang Mountain?

Shen Yuan couldn't be sure how much strength the Lord of Beimang Mountain could exert in the ancient forbidden land.

If it is the True Man of Refining Spirit or even the Great True Man of Returning to Void, Shen Yuan may be able to use his trump card to fight against him.

But if the Lord of Beimang Mountain retained the strength of True Lord Lianxu, Shen Yuan would undoubtedly be defeated if he stepped into it. After all, there was no Xuanhuang Linglong Tower to lend him strength.

In front of this ancient forbidden land, the atmosphere was actually in a strange stalemate at this moment.

The ghost immortals in the ancient forbidden land are afraid that Shen Yuan will show his abilities beyond the limits of the present world, while Shen Yuan outside the ancient forbidden land is also worried about the ghost immortals' trump card.

After a brief stalemate, Shen Yuan took the initiative to look at Xue Mingzhi behind him, and transmitted a message to Xue Mingzhi through telepathy.

Xue Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, but still nodded respectfully to Shen Yuan. He stretched out his hand to pick up Zhang Jiang beside him and used the escape technique to fly out of Beimang Mountain.

In front of the forbidden area, Shen Yuan calmed down. He looked into the scarlet eyes and said:

“Old Ghost, I know very well that you are not in a good condition right now, otherwise you would not want to conspire with the Ten Kings of Hell.

But don't forget that you are just a ghost after all, and they are the Yama King who manages the underworld.

When you take out what they want, they will kill you without hesitation, leaving you with a soul that will never be reincarnated. After all, only in this way can they protect the secrets involving the power of the underworld."

The Lord of Beimang Mountain was moved and could not help but look at an inconspicuous tomb in this ancient blessed land.

What Shen Yuan said was indeed correct. It was as ridiculous for ghosts to trade with Yama as it was for humans to claim to sell food to tigers.

The Ten Kings of Hell have a natural restraint on ghosts. If he were at his peak, he might be able to fight back with the help of the ghost fairies under his command and his corpse-reincarnation magic. But now, in his weak state after several periods of spiritual energy exhaustion, he is simply unable to fight against the Ten Kings of Hell.

But the Lord of Beimang Mountain also knew that this was his only choice at the moment. Only in this way could he have a chance to escape from the ancient forbidden land and escape from this narrow tomb.

The Lord of Beimang Mountain fell silent. Shen Yuan, who was outside the forbidden area, continued to speak:

"I can give you a chance, a chance to live."

The Lord of Beimang Mountain's eyes suddenly gleamed with brilliance, but he knew very well that there was absolutely no free lunch in the world, so he asked in a deep voice:

"What do you want?"

“Hand over the thing you traded with the Ten Kings of Hell, and I can guarantee your safety.

If you can hand over your soul, I can help you escape from the restrictions of the ancient forbidden land."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stern voice of the Lord of Beimang Mountain rang out.

"wishful thinking!"

"You don't even dare to set foot in the ancient forbidden land, and you still dare to guarantee my safety?

Handing over my soul is nonsense. If my soul falls into your hands, I will be bound by you for the rest of my life and will never be able to break free. Do you think I am a fool with nowhere to go?"

The pressure from the Lord of Beimang Mountain slowly rose, and countless tombs in the ancient blessed land trembled. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the era thousands of years ago when he dominated billions of ghosts.

The scarlet eyes looked directly at Shen Yuan, and the high-pitched voice said without hesitation:

"The thing is in my hand. If you want it, just come and get it!"

Seeing this, Shen Yuan just smiled and asked softly:

“Right now, it is indeed difficult for me to directly step into the Ancient Forbidden Land and confront you head-on, but the Ancient Forbidden Land is not without any flaws.

In the ancient forbidden land, you cannot attack ordinary people. I only need to send ordinary people into the ancient forbidden land and completely destroy everything inside.

By then, will you be able to continue to survive?"

The pupils of the Lord of Beimang Mountain suddenly shrank, but then he laughed loudly:

"Let ordinary people destroy the ancient forbidden land?

The ancient forbidden land has lost its magic, but the valley where it is located occupies an area of ​​several miles in radius, and the rocks are extremely hard.

Even if thousands of ordinary people filled the entire valley and worked day and night, it would still take several years to destroy it. During this period, any talismans or magic tools used would be destroyed by me.

Within a few months, the Wheel King will definitely send an envoy to find me. In such a short time, ordinary people will never be able to destroy the ancient forbidden land without the help of talismans and magic tools!"

"Oh, really?"

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled.

Then he turned and looked down the mountain.

At this time, several hours had passed since Xue Mingzhi went down the mountain. In the distance, a rising sun slowly rose into the sky, bringing a touch of warmth to the desolate mountains.

And at the end of the sunlight, small black dots were rapidly approaching the direction of the ancient forbidden land.

A few minutes later, the small black dots had turned into huge monsters, which turned out to be a military helicopter flying in the air.

Under the helicopter, there is a huge mountain engineering machine hanging. In front of this special military engineering machine, even the hardest mountain can be easily destroyed.

Shen Yuan turned his head and smiled softly towards the ancient forbidden land:

"Old ghost, times have changed!"
