"You're not scolding me in your heart, are you?" Zhongli Tingzhou was happy, but suddenly narrowed his eyes again.

"No." Yuan Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Does he look like that kind of person?

"I'll trust you for now." Zhongli Tingzhou said, and suddenly took out a manual from his arms and threw it to him, "You want to know how we can improve our cultivation quickly, don't you? Remember to return it after reading it."

A book on dual cultivation techniques was suddenly thrown into Yuan Ran's arms. He felt like he was holding a hot potato and looked at Gao Han for help. Great-master Zhongli really had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Gao Han gave him a helpless look. He originally thought that Zhongli had returned the skills, but he didn't expect that he still had them with him.

Yuan Ran sighed, and involuntarily glanced at the dual cultivation technique in his hand, and suddenly stopped.

"Isn't this the only top-level dual cultivation technique in the Hidden Merit Pavilion?"

"You know?" Gao Han asked.

Yuan Ran nodded: "Although this technique is of high level, it has been shelved. It was quite popular at the beginning, but now no one chooses it."

"Because the cultivation is not going smoothly." Gao Han, who has practiced, has the most say.

"Yes, do you know what's going on?" Yuan Ran asked and suddenly remembered that they had advanced two small realms in their cultivation, so they must have solved this problem.

"No, you just suggested that I find a man to practice dual cultivation with..." Yuan Ran realized it himself, looking embarrassed.

Gao Han smiled and said, "It's what you think. This technique should be created for two men to practice together."

Zhongli Tingzhou said: "If you want to become as strong as us, then find a man to practice with. We have already taught you the method, you can do it yourself."

Yuan Ran was both amused and annoyed. He was driven away by Zhongli Tingzhou with this secret in mind. After returning, he did not dare to tell his master about this matter.

Although the two of them didn't tell him not to tell anyone, he felt that it might scare his master if his two uncles suddenly became dual cultivation partners.

Ten days later, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou consolidated the instability of their realm caused by their rapid breakthrough. The next day, they left Zixiao Sect quietly without notifying anyone.

…

The red sunset seemed to be stained with a layer of blood, the sky was filled with dark red clouds. At the end of the dark forest, a group of crows cawed across the foggy sky, as if foreshadowing an ominous atmosphere.

Further ahead is an endless stretch of tall mountains with peaks and ridges and steep cliffs, and this is only a part of Yizhangling.

"City Lord Ning, are you sure that the gold-eating beast has been poisoned by your strange incense?" Gu Luochun looked at the foggy mountains in front and frowned.

"Of course, we can't deal with a grown-up gold-eating beast even if we join forces. I won't joke about something that concerns your life and death." City Lord Ning took a deep breath, his eyes filled with suppressed excitement.

His strange saliva incense was indeed effective against the gold-eating beast. After guarding here for almost a month, he finally caught the gold-eating beast's trail.

If it was a pure Sky-Swallowing Beast, his Strange Saliva Beast might not be of much use. However, the Gold-Swallowing Beast with mixed bloodline could not reach the level of a demon god.

Although it was just a gold-eating beast with mixed blood, it was enough for him.

"Should we continue to chase them?" A swordsman with a sword on his back asked coldly, "Further ahead is where powerful monsters gather. If we go there, we will probably be surrounded by monsters. Now that we are making such a big noise, it has probably attracted the attention of other powerful monsters in Yizhang Ridge."

"Chase, we must chase." There was an uncontrollable passion in Gu Luochun's eyes.

After many years, Baiyun Valley finally discovered the existence of a gold-eating beast. If they can capture this gold-eating beast with the blood of the demon god, Baiyun Valley will have no worries about not being able to command the demon beasts of Lingtian Continent in the future.

"The combat power of the gold-eating beast that has been poisoned by the strange incense has been greatly reduced. Now is a good opportunity for us. If we miss this opportunity, there will be no strange incense left on this city lord." City Lord Ning said with a calm mind.

No one objected. City Lord Ning had used the exotic incense several times during this period, and it did cost a lot.

But no one would believe that he really didn't have any more Xanthan Gum. They were just temporarily cooperating. Once the interests were put on the table, anyone could turn against them immediately. At this time, everyone would keep some cards for themselves.

No one doubted that City Lord Ning must still have some strange fragrance on his body.

"Then hold on tight. In the flash before, I saw something in the gold-eating beast's arms. It might be a gold-eating beast egg." Gu Luochun was so angry that he wanted to find the gold-eating beast immediately.

Everyone was excited by what he said. Even if he didn't say it, they had seen it. They were just not sure what it was. If it was really an egg from a gold-eating beast, then they were lucky.

They didn't know whether there were any more gold-eating beasts in Lingtian Continent, but the gold-eating beast in Yizhangling was discovered for the first time in a hundred years. If they could catch all its eggs, this trip would not be in vain.

However, if possible, everyone still prefers an adult money-eating beast, because raising a young money-eating beast is not an easy task, and first of all, it requires a lot of wealth.

"Is that really a gold-eating beast's egg?" the swordsman objected.

"You think not?" Everyone looked at the swordsman.

"I don't know. I just think our luck is too good. When I fought with the gold-devouring beast before, I found that it seemed to be particularly protective of the things in its arms. It would rather get hurt than let the things in its arms get hurt. Maybe it really is an egg." The swordsman said with narrowed eyes.

Gu Luochun immediately said: "Gold-devouring beasts value their offspring very much. They are willing to risk their lives rather than let their offspring be harmed."

"Let's go. Don't waste any more time. The effect of the exotic incense won't last forever." City Lord Ning blew away the big tree that was blocking the road and walked forward while speaking.

"I remember the demons also sent people to Yizhang Ridge. Their target is also the gold-devouring beast. We can't let them find it before us."

"Our opponents are not only the demons, but also your old rival." Gu Luochun looked at City Lord Ning meaningfully.

City Lord Ning immediately thought of City Lord Tianjiu and snorted coldly, "He can no longer be considered my opponent. With such a serious injury, it is not easy for him to survive in Yizhang Ridge."

"City Lord Tianjiu is your brother-in-law." The swordsman said, and then his thoughts turned, "City Lord Ning is worthy of being City Lord Ning. He can kill his brother-in-law without blinking an eye."

"Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, so what does a brother-in-law have to do with him?" City Lord Ning said indifferently.

The swordsman didn't say anything else, and neither did the others. However, they were all secretly alert in their hearts. City Lord Ning was so cruel that he could kill his brother-in-law. If he really wanted to stab them in the back, he would not hesitate at all. He was also a ruthless person.

Although everyone seems to be of one mind, the distance between them has not actually been shortened, and no one really dares to turn their backs to their allies.

The faint sound slowly disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, unusual movements occurred in various places in Yizhangling. Forces gathered from all directions. In a place opposite to the group of people led by City Lord Ning, all of them had green faces and fangs, and looked very ferocious. They gathered together in an instant, and hundreds of heads were piled up in the darkness.

A faint ray of light shone in and fell on their faces. They were green faces, and they were the demons that had already entered the mountain.

"The human monks are capturing gold-devouring beasts indiscriminately. There is fierce fighting among them. Now is a good opportunity for us to fish in troubled waters." said the green-faced demon with two sharp horns on his head.

A younger demon said excitedly: "I can lead people to hunt them down."

In fact, the monsters here are not young. Because of the bloodline of the monster god, the Sky-Swallowing Beast, the cultivators sent by the human race are at least in the Nascent Soul stage. The monsters with low strength come here just to die.

"I leave this matter to you, Boro. The others should split into two groups. Be careful not to let them get the gold-eating beast." The older demon's eyes flashed green in the darkness.

"Don't worry, we know what to do." The demon diagonally opposite him said sinisterly.

After they finished discussing, the hundred or so demons immediately split into three groups and rushed into the darkness in an instant.

Deep in Yizhang Ridge, there was a roar of a monster, scaring countless monsters away.

Several people who were speeding through the jungle suddenly stopped.

"Is it a gold-eating beast?"

"The sound doesn't sound like it. It could be that someone broke into the lair of other monsters. There could be a powerful monster lurking anywhere here."

"Brother Qin, can you still hold on?" The man in the gray Taoist robe looked at the middle-aged man in the middle who was coughing.

"I won't die. What I'm more worried about now is Tianjiu City, but this is the only way."

City Lord Qin coughed again. No one had expected that Ning Hongtian would go to such great lengths to set a trap to kill him. He was well prepared, which meant that he had also made other arrangements outside. He hoped that Yuexian and the others could hold on. He had no way to rush back immediately.

No one tried to persuade him anymore. If City Lord Qin wanted to go back, he would have gone back long ago and would not have waited until now.

Just as various forces were ready to make a move, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou finally arrived outside Yizhangling.

They did not enter the Demon Battlefield from the familiar city. According to Qin Changsheng, Saroyan's father has not given up looking for them yet. He has sent people to guard near Black Stone City, waiting for them to enter the Demon Battlefield and immediately send people to hunt them down. So they chose to enter from Hunyuan City.

It just so happened that Hunyuan City was one of the cities closest to Yizhangling, and Saroyan’s father would never have thought that they would go to Yizhangling.

"Yizhang Ridge is so big, where can we find the gold-eating beast?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked while standing on a rock.

There were many monsters in the sky above Yizhangling, and they were unable to fly, so they came down when they were getting close.

From a distance, you can't see the end of Yizhangling at all, and there are only rolling mountains in the distance.

It is said that there is a long and mysterious road that leads directly to the highest point of Yizhangling, but it is already overgrown with thorns. It is said that the road is made of corpses. They are standing in front of this road at the moment, at the intersection surrounded by vines, they can vaguely see a road inside.

"The sect leader said that we can go find the cultivators of Zixiao Sect. They may know where the gold-devouring beast is." Gao Han suddenly changed the subject, "But I don't think it's necessary."

Fugui, who had been sleeping soundly in his arms, slightly trembled his eyelids and opened his lifeless eyes.

At the same time, in the far depths of Yizhang Ridge, a pair of beast-like sharp eyes suddenly opened in the darkness, staring in the direction outside, and let out a low growl that seemed unbelievable.
