The sound came from the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts. It had a majestic, oppressive and terrifying aura that made people's eyelids twitch and their hearts palpitate even though they were hundreds of miles away.
Cold sweat broke out on Green Flame Mang's body. He knew who the voice belonged to. It was the Red Fierce Centipede, the great monster from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, whose strength was even greater than his. Even Chang Tianya had spoken, which meant that he was really no match for Chang Tianya.
He had just provoked Chang Tianya. If the Red Centipede had not spoken out, he would most likely have fought with Chang Tianya in the next second. If he was really killed, Wanshou Mountain would not have stood up for him.
No one expected that just a small battle for the gold-devouring beast would lead to the emergence of the great monster from the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts. Most of those present were powerful warriors in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and they hardly dared to breathe.
The other party's voice can be heard here even from hundreds of miles away. It may not be impossible to kill them from hundreds of miles away.
The only person whose expression remained unchanged was Chang Tianya.
"Next time, take good care of the monsters in your Myriad Beasts Mountain. Otherwise, if you fall into the hands of the Purple Sky Sect again, we will not let you go so easily."
"You were the first to disturb the tranquility of Yizhangling. Don't do it again." After the voice said this, the creepy aura disappeared.
The Green Flame Monster didn't dare to stay any longer, and almost as soon as Chang Tianya opened his mouth, he quietly escaped.
As for the gold-devouring beast, after being blocked by Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou, he had already lost the gold-devouring beast's aura. Even if he chased it now, he would not be able to find it. With the wisdom of the gold-devouring beast, it must have escaped without a trace, and it might even have left Yizhang Ridge.
At the same time, the monarch-level demon who had just retreated to the edge of Yizhang Ridge also felt the powerful aura of Chang Tianya and the Red Lie Centipede. He couldn't help but be glad that he did not fight with the Green Flame Mang at that time, otherwise he would definitely be discovered by the owners of these two powerful auras, and the demon would have already carried out half of his plan and would also be discovered by them.
"Sir, we suffered heavy losses this time." After counting the number of remaining monsters, Boro said to the monarch-level monster with a sullen face.
The monarch-level demon could tell which of his subordinates had been killed at a glance. Among the great lord-level demons, only Boro and Fergus were left. He had brought four great lords in total, and lost two of them.
There were also lord-level monsters, who suffered equally heavy losses, not to mention other monsters of lower strength.
"Has our plan been discovered?" asked the monarch-level demon in a deep voice.
"I think the humans' reactions are very normal, so there is a high possibility that they haven't been discovered. But even if they are discovered, it doesn't matter. We still have room for maneuver." Boro replied. They didn't expect everything to be perfect, and they had already thought of other ways out when they started planning.
The monarch-level demon nodded slightly and said firmly: "With the loss of so many people, the plan must not fail."
Boro and Fergus gritted their teeth and said, "Please rest assured, sir. We will not let the plan go wrong. It's just a pity for Zixiao Sect."
"Purple Sky Sect." The monarch-level demon narrowed his eyes. "I remember that Cooper seemed to have been looking for trouble with the Purple Sky Sect. He wanted to avenge his son?"
"To answer your question, sir, that's exactly what happened. However, it is said that Saroyan is not sure whether he was killed by the disciples of Zixiao Sect. It is very likely that City Lord Cooper just wants to find someone to vent his anger on." Boro replied.
The monarch-level demon groaned for a moment, "What a pity, the time is too short this time, and I didn't expect such a change to happen. Otherwise, I could have borrowed his power. Now the strong man hidden behind the Purple Sky Sect has appeared. There is nothing we can do next. Let's retreat. There is no need to stay any longer."
"Sir, there is one more thing." Fergus said suddenly.
"What's up?"
"Those humans didn't go looking for the gold-devouring beasts, but turned to attack us. I suspect something is wrong. From the intelligence we have obtained before, it seems that the humans have some special method to track down the gold-devouring beasts."
Boro also said: "I remember that Feiman and the others said that they were attacked for no reason, but because the enemy retreated quickly, they were not seriously injured. They only had simple skin injuries. At that time, they did not pay much attention to the plan, but later, two of them died at the hands of the human race."
The monarch-level demon's eyes instantly became mysterious and profound, "Do you suspect that Feiman and the others were plotted to death by the people who attacked them?"
"I do have suspicions. Judging from all the information, it was most likely done by the gold-devouring beast. The people who attacked them were at the Spirit Transformation Stage, but it is hard to say whether this has anything to do with the human race." Fergus said. He and Boro had discussed this point when they retreated.
“Investigate, I want to see who is behind this. If it is really the human race who is plotting behind this, Feiman and the others will not let it go just like that.” The monarch-level demon said indifferently and domineeringly, and walked away in his black robe.
"Yes, sir."
…
The gold-devouring beast disappeared without a trace, the green-flame python also ran away secretly, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain seemed to be ready to make a move.
Except for Zixiao Sect, sects like Jishang Sect did not send elders in the fusion stage. They did not dare to stay in Yizhang Ridge for long, and immediately found other disciples to meet up and prepare to leave Yizhang Ridge.
This war between humans and demons caused quite a stir and resulted in heavy casualties. If we stayed here any longer, we would definitely not be able to find the gold-devouring beast, and we might even be taken advantage of by other demons.
Ning Hongtian found that everyone had met up with their own people. After looking around, he realized that his men had been left behind at some point.
He remembered that he had been chasing the gold-eating beast and had accelerated several times along the way. It was normal that Meng Yuan and his other men could not catch up with them and were left behind, but after so long, it should not be possible that they still couldn't find him.
"City Lord." Just when he was feeling dissatisfied, Meng Yuan's surprised voice suddenly came from a certain direction.
Ning Hongtian saw him rushing over with some people and frowned, "Where have you been? Why did you show up only now? And where are the others?"
Meng Yuan took a breath and said anxiously, "City Lord, you guys ran too fast. When I followed the noise, I encountered a group of demons on the road. We fought and finally killed them by luck, but we also lost a lot of people."
"Well, let's leave Yizhangling with the others first." Ning Hongtian looked indifferent and did not mention the dead or injured.
"It's the city lord, where is the gold-eating beast?" Meng Yuan looked left and right, but did not see any trace of the gold-eating beast.
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. Once he brought it up, Ning Hongtian's face turned as dark as the bottom of a burnt pot. His dark eyes glanced in the direction of the group of people from the Zixiao Sect not far away, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
With Chang Tianya around, no matter how bold Ning Hongtian was, he would not dare to say anything bad about Zixiao Sect in front of him. Who knew what kind of mind this Sixth Elder had? If he wanted to investigate his own problems, it would be difficult to deal with him even if his father showed up.
Immersed in his own thoughts, he did not notice the strange look that flashed across Meng Yuan's eyes.
"You are too bold." Chang Tianya looked at Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou with a smile.
Zhongli Tingzhou remained silent. It was unknown whether he was upset by something or not, as there was no expression on his face, and he did not joke around like usual.
"We believe that the sect leader will not be unprepared." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gao Han replied. This time it was actually quite dangerous.
"Dongtian really doesn't dare to let you two come to Yizhangling alone. If anything happens to either of you, he will be in big trouble if any one of you comes to him. But the person he originally wanted to invite out of the mountain was not me. I took the initiative to ask to come here." Chang Tianya stroked his beard with a smile and actually made a joke.
Hou Wanshan showed a hint of surprise on his face. He thought that it was the sect leader who asked the Sixth Elder to come out of seclusion, but he didn't expect that it was the Sixth Elder who asked for it on his own initiative. He couldn't help but glance at Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou. Did he value them so much?
Gao Han quickly figured out what Hou Wanshan couldn't think of.
He remembered that when he had just refined the pseudo-immortal weapon, the mysterious elder had personally come to Wuming Peak to find him and borrowed the Seven-Bright Nine-Light Ganoderma from him, saying that it was for the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder.
Chang Tianya saw that he didn't show any surprise, so he knew that he had guessed the reason, and explained, "The Fifth Elder couldn't get away. Now is a critical moment, otherwise he would want to come here in person."
Gao Han looked around and found that all the forces from other sects had left. Only because the Sixth Elder was there did they dare to stay openly.
Chang Tianya noticed his gaze and smiled, "Don't worry, my divine sense covers the entire area, no one can see through me."
Gao Han nodded, "Is it because of the matter of Qiming Jiuguangzhi?"
"Yes, I have to thank you for this, as well as Yijun and Xiaoxiao. It was thanks to you that I rescued you in the Shuangdong Secret Realm. I am ashamed that I have not been able to go and thank you in person."
Chang Tianya was also helpless. In fact, he and Lao Wu should have gone there in person to thank the two of them in person a long time ago, but because of certain things, they had not been able to get away.
Fortunately, with the Seven-Ming Nine-Guang Zhi, they no longer needed to devote 100% of their energy, and to the outside world, they always claimed that they were in seclusion.
"You don't have to be polite, Sixth Elder. You saved my life and Tingzhou's life this time, so we are even."
The aura of the Sixth Elder was very gentle. Perhaps it could be said that every elder in Zixiao Sect gave him a very gentle and kind feeling. This was what Gao Han liked most about Zixiao Sect. Zixiao Sect had also given them a lot invisibly. Just the role of a powerful protective umbrella was enough to make him very grateful. He and Zhongli Tingzhou did not need the mere Seven Bright Nine Lights.
Chang Tianya's face was full of smiles. He also felt the rare innocence of Gao Han. No wonder the Great Elder praised the two of them after returning that day.
They thanked Zixiao Sect, which was also a blessing for Zixiao Sect. He also heard about the matter of the Sun Tree.
Even though a reward is requested, the Sun Tree is a long-lasting and profound blessing to any sect.
"Let's go, let's leave Yizhangling first."
