To be honest, Qingya was also quite reluctant, but she knew very well that the task assigned by the boss would not treat her unfairly. In fact, Xu Yang had already outlined in his mind the position that Qingya would stand in the future.

She will even be promoted to the strongest warrior echelon in the entire empire.

More importantly, if she were asked to practice with the living fossil elder, it would be more beneficial for her.

After all, Xu Yang's brilliant cultivation in this life was mostly gained through his cultivation in other fields and in the era of the continent hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Within the scope of ancient martial arts, the most authentic martial arts training system is still the living fossil old man in front of him.

Therefore, for Qingya, a local warrior, receiving careful guidance from a living fossil-level warrior is the best way to consolidate her foundation of cultivation.

Following Xu Yang would only allow you to get more special opportunities, like the martial god-level energy essence on Poxiao's body.

However, Qingya is still in the Lingxu realm and has not been able to complete the breakthrough. Even if the vitality of those martial god-level strongmen with more powerful foundations is shared with her, it will not bring her any obvious improvement in cultivation. Instead, only by sharing the most essential cultivation resources with Poxiao can she see greater gains in a short period of time.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Yang made this decision.

After settling everything on Juexing Peak, Xu Yang took Long Kun and Poxiao with him and headed towards the Lost Mountains, the third largest forbidden area in the empire, located southwest of Juexing Peak.

The so-called Lost Mountains, as the name suggests, is a very large and extremely dangerous maze area. It is said to be the most dangerous place among the three forbidden areas in the empire.

This place existed more than 100,000 years ago, when the empire's territory had not yet been fully established.

Over the years, countless top warriors in the empire have tried to break through the blockade of this so-called maze restricted area and go there to look for the treasures left behind by the ancient top warriors. However, they all ended up disappearing without a trace and no one was able to come back alive.

But for Xu Yang, such a terrifying statement only adds a little difficulty to the game.

For Xu Yang, he is the only one who can destroy the forbidden area, and no forbidden area can trap him.

Along the way, Poxiao, who was once the female killer goddess of Tianzong, also shared some basic knowledge about the lost mountains with Long Kun and Xu Yang.

According to her, there are many unimaginable strange plants growing in the most terrifying maze restricted area in the empire.

Each plant has its own unique characteristics, and most of the terrifying plants growing inside the maze mountains have a very strong paralyzing effect. This is the fundamental reason why even the most powerful warriors will never return from this place.

Once the body's strength is paralyzed, the warrior's ability to resist danger when encountering danger will be greatly reduced.

Plus the inherent confusing effect.

And the elusive sense of direction, over time it became known as the Death Zone.

Even so, the three members of Xu Yang's team still have a strong desire to conquer this place.

"Hahaha, Boss, according to the records on this map, once we cross the waterfall ahead, we should be within the range of Lost Mountain."

Long Kun wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted excitedly, looking very excited.

The temperature around here is very high. Xu Yang and the other two traveled through mountains and rivers all the way and looked somewhat tired.

However, the scenery of this place is quite beautiful, perhaps because it is rarely visited by people.

Just as the three were about to cross the fast-flowing waterfall in front of them, a dangerous aura quietly approached.

"Don't move, someone is following us."

Xu Yang was so alert that even though the sound of the waves of the waterfall not far away was very loud, he still couldn't suppress his five senses that had extraordinary insight.

In fact, the guys who followed the three all the way here were already careful enough.

They were planning to get closer to the waterfall and use the sound of the rushing water to cover up the breath fluctuations of their movement, but their plan was ultimately discovered by Xu Yang's superb insight.

Sure enough, just when Xu Yang gave the reminder, more than a dozen cloaked figures suddenly appeared behind him, and this time was completely different from the previous time in Holy Soul City.

The aura emanating from the guys in the lead, wearing cloaks of different colors, was much stronger than that of the previous group of pursuers.

As soon as the group landed, the cold eyes of Dawn beside them turned a little colder.

“The mark of the Son of Ten Thousand Years!

Three disciples came at once, it seems these people must have been eyeing us from the beginning."

As Dawn said this, the cloaked guy in front of him smiled grimly.

"That's right. In fact, we already knew your whereabouts shortly after you left Juexing Peak. This time we are going to catch you all at the entrance of this lost mountain range."

The cloaked man at the head had a hoarse voice, but the terrifying murderous aura emanating from him was so strong that Long Kun couldn't help but sneer.

“Just because you are a bunch of pretentious cloaks, you dare to speak nonsense in front of us.

I think you are the ones who are tired of living."

This time, the opponent did not give a verbal response, but directly released their powerful martial arts aura, preparing for a showdown.

Sure enough, just as Poxiao had judged, the three guys in front all released purple martial arts aura.

There is no doubt that the strength of these three people is above the Hedao realm, which is equivalent to the cultivation level that Poxiao possesses now.

Behind these three guys who are the Sons of Ten Thousand Years, the remaining dozen or so are all powerful spirit-hosting masters, with blue light in various patterns flashing on their bodies.

Powerful force continues to condense and release in these people's bodies.

Behind every sacrificial spirit with a blue mark, there was actually a completely different martial arts totem.

Xu Yang showed a trace of disdainful sneer, and looked at Poxiao beside him, "You are right, girl. These so-called sacrificial spirits have the ability to control and manipulate the martial arts inheritance of others, and can copy other people's martial arts skills through that special mark and release the corresponding totem power."

In the blink of an eye, the three sacrificial spirits that had copied the beast soul totems rushed towards where Long Kun was.

The remaining spirits targeted Xu Yang.

On the contrary, the three strongest disciples who were in the lead moved in surprising unison and rushed towards Dawn's position on the other side of the team at the same time.
