After parting with the three gold-eating beasts, Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou left first.

When they could no longer be seen, the three gold-eating beasts rushed to the edge with Fugui.

"By the way, we seem to have forgotten to ask which sect they are from." Xuan Xiao suddenly slapped his head and remembered something important.

Zhongdi and Baihe: "..."

"You never asked before?" Zhongdi was so angry at his carelessness. He always thought Xuan Xiao had asked, so he didn't ask.

Xuan Xiao smiled awkwardly, "I forgot, I really forgot. So many things happened, and we found new tribesmen, and I forgot about it for a moment. Didn't you guys remember it either?" He muttered softly at last.

Zhongdi and Baihe had originally wanted to talk to him about it, but after hearing his last sentence, they looked at each other, then instantly went berserk and beat him up.

After a moment, Xuan Xiao covered his face with bruises and swelling. This was too much. They actually joined forces to beat him up.

"Since there is no chance to ask again, wait until the cub wakes up, maybe he will know." After letting out his anger, Zhong Di said with relief.

Bai He nodded, "After all, he is the benefactor of our Gold Devouring Beast Clan. How can we not even know which sect he is from? By the way, what is his name?"

The two men looked at Xuan Xiao at the same time, their faces full of greed. Xuan Xiao knew that if he couldn't tell them, the two men would definitely take the opportunity to beat him up. It was unjust that a kind animal was bullied by an animal. He said sadly, "The man in black is Gao Han, and the man in white is Zhongli Tingzhou."

The two nodded with satisfaction, "After all, you are not hopeless. Let's go."

Xuan Xiao followed behind the two of them, complaining indignantly. After all, he knew the names of his two benefactors, but what about you? You don’t even know your sect or your names. What use are you!

…

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou were unaware that the three gold-eating beasts had just had a "fierce internal conflict". They were flying all the way. If they wanted to find Lord Hou Feng and his men, they could only go in the direction with more auras, but that also meant danger.

"During this period, the atmosphere in Yizhang Ridge has suddenly become chaotic. It should be that our plan has worked. I just don't know if it will affect Master Hou Feng and the others."

Gao Han flew over the branches of each big tree, and with a light tap of his toes, he jumped onto another tree trunk dozens of meters away.

Zhongli Tingzhou was not far above his head, and the distance he could see was even farther.

"They are not three-year-old children."

Hou Wanshan and Qin Hanyi, who were not three-year-old children, avoided the chaos after receiving the tip from the gold-eating beast. As the demons gathered the people they had sent out, they hardly encountered any demons until a conflict occurred between humans and demons.

Hou Wanshan and his men rushed to the source of the riot and were shocked to find that Ning Hongtian, Ying Yangyao and their men were fighting with demons.

"What's going on?"

When did Ning Hongtian and the others become so enthusiastic? Instead of catching the gold-eating beast, they are fighting the demon here.

"There's a problem. Ning Hongtian is not such a kind person." Qin Hanyi, who knew Ning Hongtian very well, didn't believe what he saw.

"It is impossible for Ying Yangyao and the others to accompany Ning Hongtian here to kill demons. Is there any misunderstanding here?" Hou Wanshan guessed.

"Just take another look." Qin Hanyi's eyes flickered. Ning Hongtian actually went to seek death.

Ning Hongtian in the battle circle was almost going crazy. He didn't understand why the object that the Gu King sensed for the second time was still a demon, and this time it was not a small group but a large group.

Several great lord-level demons suddenly gathered together for unknown reasons, but they started fighting without saying a word, without even having time to ask about the gold-eating beast.

"It seems that the gold-devouring beast has fallen into the hands of these demons." Ying Yangyao looked at the demons opposite with cold eyes.

"It's not easy to swallow two gold-eating beasts alone." Gu Luochun's face turned pale.

He has spent so much energy and time, how could he let these monsters get away with it for nothing? The gold-eating beast must not fall into their hands.

Everybody misunderstood.

Not only did Ying Yangyao and his men mistakenly believe that the gold-devouring beast was in the hands of the demon, the demon mistakenly thought that their plan was about to be exposed, and the monarch-level demons in the rear could not even take action.

As soon as he made a move, he would definitely expose the fact that he was in Yizhangling. More importantly, he was afraid of the strong man in the dark. Just like the other party had not shown up for a long time, it was because he was not sure whether he was here or not.

"My lord, if we continue like this, our plan will most likely be exposed." Boro retreated back to the monarch.

The demon monarch had a gloomy expression on his face. "I cannot take action, and I will leave. The plan can begin now. We must ensure that no trace is left."

"Where are the two disciples of Zixiao Sect?" Boro asked unwillingly.

The demon monarch could understand his feelings, but he did not expect such a change to happen. "The disciples of Zixiao Sect will find another way someday. The most urgent thing is not to let the whole plan fail. After it is over, you will retreat."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Boro no longer thought about the Zixiao Sect's affairs. He immediately passed on the master's order, and the demons waiting in the dark immediately took action.

"Don't let me know who I am!" The demon monarch snorted coldly, and his body completely disappeared into the darkness.

In the dark, Qin Hanyi looked at the frowning Hou Wanshan and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go over and help?"

"Killing demons is the responsibility of every cultivator." Hou Wanshan said calmly.

Qin Hanyi knew this would happen. "I don't really want to. Ning Hongtian is my enemy after all. If other sects were in our shoes, I'm afraid they would choose to stand by and watch."

"That's their idea, and we have no regrets."

Qin Hanyi smiled, "I finally understand why Zixiao Sect is the largest sect in Lingtian Continent, and Jishang Sect can only be ranked second."

People who have a broad mind take the main path. He does not have the broad mind of Hou Wanshan and others, so he takes the small path.

Hou Wanshan, who felt at peace with himself, then went up with the disciples of Zixiao Sect behind him.

Perhaps it was a turn of events for the human race, because not long after they appeared, others also arrived and joined the battle.

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou arrived nearby, but were just a step too slow, and saw Hou Wanshan and other Zixiao Sect disciples fighting in the melee.

"Why did Hou Wanshan join as well?" Zhongli Tingzhou said in surprise.

"I also remember the Sect Master saying that the Purple Sky Sect's target is not the gold-devouring beast. Could it be that they misunderstood?"

No matter how smart the two were, they could not have imagined that Hou Wanshan was so selfless and benevolent, just because the demons were the enemies of Lingtian Continent.

Their strength is not very high, and if they go up, they will probably be affected by the battle of strong people, so they decided to wait and see for a while.

The battle lasted from night to dawn. The rising sun first burned a few tiny holes in the darkness. When these holes gradually increased, Yizhangling woke up from its slumber.

The humans became more and more courageous as the battle went on, but the demons retreated more and more. The number of demons that died was many times greater than that of humans. The remaining demons were defeated, and the powerful ones at the back began to shout to retreat.

The demons, who had lost interest in fighting, immediately stopped attacking and retreated quickly.

Gu Luochun saw that the demon was about to leave, but there was no news from the gold-devouring beast, so he was anxious to chase after it. Suddenly he found that he was the only one moving. He turned around and saw Ning Hongtian standing there with a gloomy face, his red eyes staring at the dead overlord-level demon on the ground. He immediately returned to him.

"City Lord Ning, if we don't chase them, once these monsters leave Yizhang Ridge, it will be almost impossible for us to get the gold-devouring beast back." He said, suppressing his irritation.

Ying Yangyao, Mo Hong and others also looked at Ning Hongtian. Logically, he should be the most anxious person.

"No need to chase anymore." Ning Hongtian exhaled a breath of foul air, his face still as gloomy as ever, and a ball of black air seemed to condense on his forehead.

"Why?" Gu Luochun asked with a serious face before he could react.

Ning Hongtian did not answer, but took out a jade bottle from his body, poured a drop of green liquid from it, and dripped it on the Gu King whose body was swollen with anxiety.

After absorbing this drop of green liquid, the Gu King's body shrank back to its normal size at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces suddenly darkened.

“怎么回事？”大家盯着宁宏天，想向他讨一个说法，他们信任他，才会跟他合作，结果现在吞金兽连个影子也没有看到。

宁宏天吸了一口气，面上一片阴鸷，“我们上当了，这头妖魔身上有异涎香。”

“这不可能，异涎香不是你宁宋城特有的东西吗，为什么这头妖魔身上会有异涎香？”谷罗春抓狂地质问道。

“不是有异涎香，他被人下了异涎香，幕后黑手故意引我们与妖魔打起来，吞金兽要么已经落入对方手里，要么就是被放走了。”

直到身中异涎香的妖魔死了，宁宏天才知道他错得有多么离谱。

“被放走了？”应阳耀的眼睛不由自主地瞥向侯万山。

这里的人，只有紫霄宗表面对吞金兽不感兴趣，甚至还阻挠他们得到吞金兽，而且也是全程没有跟他们在一起的人。

并不知道宗主和高寒不久前才联手讹诈了宁宋城八滴异涎香液的侯万山一脸坦荡。

“之前那两头吞金兽离开万兽山的时候，你们应该遇到了吧？”应阳耀似笑非笑地质问道。

“遇到了又如何？在下可有义务向你们报告？”侯万山坦然地反问。

“秦汉义，你会那么好心放过两头吞金兽？”宁宏天不信秦汉义胸怀有那么宽广。

秦汉义知道他是想向自己打探消息，淡笑道：“本城主倒是想将他们留下来，可也要有那个实力才行。”

宁宏天脸色一沉，其实他也知道秦汉义他们不可能抓到吞金兽，那么短的时间内，最大的可能就是把吞金兽放跑了。

可是他花了那么多异涎香，吞金兽没得到也就罢了，异涎香还有可能被什么人得到，把他们耍得团团转，他这次不仅赔了夫人又折兵，还出现了内部隐患，损失最大。

就在众人有些僵持不下的时候，一股悍然无匹的威压骤然自众人头顶笼罩下来。

所有人的脸色都变了。

是绿焰莽，他居然还没有离开！

宁宏天的脸是绿的，在绿焰莽看来，他是欺骗过他的人，肯定要第一个找自己算账。

“你们可真是让本座好找。”绿焰莽阴测测的声音自头顶传来。

大家抬头，没看到绿焰莽，才发现他没有在上面，绿色的长袍隐在一片阴影里，他没有故意收敛气息，只是漫天都是他的气息。

大妖兽的气息，等同于合体期强者的气息，不只是附近的妖兽在瑟瑟发抖，一些实力稍弱的修士，也都忐忑不安的涨红了脸，感觉身体快要被挤压爆了。

宁宏天很想绿焰莽看不到他，但是绿焰莽显然没有给他机会，一双阴森的绿瞳，直接锁定了他。

“很久没有人敢这样耍本座了，你是第一个，也会是最后一个。”

“慢着！我有话要说！”宁宏天惊得身上的寒毛都炸起来了，他感受到绿焰莽刺骨的杀机，对方现在是真的想杀了他。

绿焰莽享受着弱者的挣扎，决定给他死前说出遗言的机会，“说，本座倒要听听，你死之前还能说出什么来。”

宁宏天内心冰凉一片，解释道：“我之前的感应被人做了手脚，对方故意引我们对上妖魔，我们也是被骗了。”

“那又如何，本座可不管这些，你敢耍本座，这几句话可不足以抵消你的命。”绿焰莽杀气一沉。

如果肉眼能看到的话，大家定能看到绿焰莽的杀气此刻悬浮在宁宏天四面八方，只要他稍稍一动，宁宏天怎么也逃脱不掉一个死字。

宁宏天心中惊骇不已，他意识到自己要是再不能说出能让绿焰莽感兴趣的东西，他真的会杀了自己。

绿焰莽对什么感兴趣，只有吞金兽。

可吞金兽已经不见了，逃得没有踪影了，宁宏天脑子飞快的转动着，眼角余光突然瞥见秦汉义，一个阴险的算计瞬间浮现在他脑海里。

“我虽然不知道吞金兽在哪里，但是有的人知道！”

秦汉义在注意到宁宏天的视线那一刻，眼皮就跳了下，猛然意识到不好了，却来不及，为了活命的宁宏天已大声说出来。

“谁？”绿焰莽目光一凝。

“他知道吞金兽在哪里，在万兽山的出入口处，吞金兽逃出去的时候，他们就在外面。”宁宏天阴恶地笑起来，秦汉义，你最终还是要间接的死在我手里。

秦汉义脸色猛然一沉，宁宏天，你真该死！

绿焰莽的威压直接笼罩在秦汉义身上，眯起阴鸷的眼睛，“说，吞金兽在哪里？”

躲在暗处看到这一幕的高寒露出不好的表情。

宁宏天果然阴险至极，在这种紧要的关口上，他居然还能成功的将绿焰莽的怒火转移到秦汉义身上，这件事就麻烦了，因为他知道，侯峰主当时应该是跟秦汉义在一起的。
