"What's the matter with Fugui's cultivation?" Gao Han noticed it as he picked him up.
When he first left them, Fugui was very weak, with only the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage. Any cultivator from the Lingtian Continent could have crushed him to death.
As a result, only a few months later, he had soared into the sky like a rocket, from the Qi Refining Stage to the Fusion Stage.
He actually reached the fusion stage one step faster than his two fathers.
"There are gifts from the demon god at the inheritance site. I guess, if it's not for repairing the space cracks, those energies should be left by the demon god for the young master. Maybe they can help him break through to the Mahayana stage in one fell swoop."
It's a pity, but not a pity. After all, if those space cracks are not repaired, the forbidden area will most likely be destroyed.
This is the inheritance of the Sky-Swallowing Beast clan. If it is destroyed, other Gold-Swallowing Beasts born in the future will no longer be able to inherit it.
The demon god should have sensed this, so the beast shadow chose to repair the space crack at the critical moment. Finally, when the energy was used up, the beast shadow collapsed directly.
"Oh, those eggs!"
Chongdi remembered this matter and walked inside with Gao Han. Soon they saw the eggs.
The remaining dozens of eggs were piled in the corner, without anything to protect them. The place of inheritance itself was a protective shell.
"Gao Han, has the life ring you mentioned before been repaired?" The three gold-eating beasts looked at Gao Han expectantly.
Gao Han put an egg into the thatched cottage in the small world. He found that the small world was so big that he could put the egg wherever he wanted.
After a while, he took out the eggs he had just collected.
"Please check if there is anything wrong with this egg."
The three gold-eating beasts immediately checked it carefully and shook their heads, "I can't see anything."
"These eggs have been left for many years. In fact, we are not sure whether they can be hatched now. The fact that the three of us were able to hatch them was the result of the life-long efforts of the elders." Zhongdi said helplessly.
Gao Han nodded and put all the eggs away.
"Don't worry, let Fugui hatch the eggs every day. As a member of the Sky-Swallowing Beast, he will definitely be happy." Zhongli Tingzhou said with a smile.
There was obviously nothing to complain about, but the three gold-eating beasts seemed to sense a strong sense of "malice".
"Okay, take a look here and see if there's anything else you can take away. The situation outside isn't optimistic, so we need to prepare first."
After Gao Han finished speaking, he took out the treasures that he had previously stored in the small world.
He put all the things away because he was under siege before and was afraid that these treasures would be taken away by those strong men. Now that the enemies in the forbidden area have been dealt with, there is no need to keep them here.
Zhongdi and Xuanxiao discussed it and finally picked out a few rare treasures that they could use, and did not take the rest.
"What are you doing?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows. Although Zhongdi had said that it would be fine to give them all these treasures, he had never thought of actually taking them away.
The phoenix feather from before was enough for him. The reason why he was able to kill so many people in the fusion stage was also thanks to the phoenix true fire. This reward was enough to offset their kindness.
The three of them suddenly knelt on one knee. "My two benefactors, we actually have a favor to ask."
"Since it's an unreasonable request, then don't say it." After Zhongli Tingzhou said this, Gao Han glared at him.
"Do you want us to help you take care of Fugui?"
The three of them showed surprised expressions because what he said was right.
"How did the benefactor know?"
"Do we need to guess?" Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at them. Only a mentally retarded person would not be able to figure out such a simple truth.
Now that the forbidden land of the Sky-Devouring Beast has appeared in the world, along with countless treasures, it has already become known to everyone.
It is a crime to possess a treasure. If they had the cultivation level of a Mahayana, they could protect the young master and these treasures, but they don't.
It would be a sin for them to possess these treasures. They would not bring any benefits, but instead would bring them endless and terrifying pursuits.
From the very beginning, Zhong said that it was okay to give these treasures to them, and he had already thought about this.
"My two benefactors, our cultivation is too low. We can't protect the young master or these treasures. Few people know about the young master's existence, and the Mahayana cultivators outside probably don't know about it. You have the Zixiao Sect behind you, so those people will have to think twice before they can attack you. So the young master should be safe with you."
"What about you?" Gao Han pondered, "Actually, there is another way. You can also try to enter my little world."
He shook his head. "No, if we disappear, those people will not let you go. The three of us have decided that we will lead those strong men away. They will think that the treasure is with us, so they will not dare to embarrass you again."
"You might die." Zhongli Tingzhou said expressionlessly.
"We know, but we have no other choice. We have already dragged you down this time, and we can't drag you down any more." The three gold-eating beasts have made up their minds.
Gao Han took out the Xizhu and handed it to them. "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. I give you this Xizhu. For the sake of wealth and honor, I hope you can survive."
Zhongli Tingzhou also took out his breath bead and threw it to them.
"That's impossible. This was originally our thank-you gift. There's no way we can take it back." Zhongdi quickly refused.
"We are not doing this for you, but for wealth." Gao Han explained calmly.
"The Xizhu may not be as effective as before. I went out to look for you before, but somehow, I was discovered by several human cultivators. They firmly said that I was a monster and chased me all the way. I was afraid of making too much trouble, so I used the Sunset Bow and quickly got rid of them. However, not long after I left the demon battlefield, those three cultivators chased me, saying that I stole their magic weapon. I didn't dare to use the Sunset Bow again on the Lingtian Continent, and I couldn't get rid of them, so I had to go directly to the Zixiao Sect to find you." Xuan Xiao explained.
Gao Han thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be Xizhu's fault. Maybe you have been targeted by others for a long time. The situation should be more complicated than we thought."
"Then we should separate." Zhong said. Now they didn't know who was plotting against them, and the only way was to go separately.
They did not refuse Xizhu again. For the sake of the young master, they should really take good care of themselves.
"Use the Sky-peeping Mirror to send us out now."
"Are you sure? Maybe there is another way. Didn't you say before that the forbidden area is a magic weapon? We can choose to travel through the space cracks and find a safe place to land."
It was rare for Fugui to find his people again, and Gao Han selfishly didn't want them to be separated again soon.
"You have seen how dangerous the space crack is..."
With a loud bang, before Zhongdi could finish his words, the forbidden area suddenly shook violently.
The five people ran outside and saw that the long black space crack had changed again.
A powerful force seemed to be tearing the space crack again, and a giant hand reached out and waved in the forbidden area.
The half-collapsed palace could not withstand the blow of the giant hand and completely collapsed, turning into a pile of dust.
This giant hand seemed to be fishing for something and did not stop there. Almost all the buildings on the flat ground were not spared. Since it did not get what it wanted, the giant hand came towards them.
The five people immediately retreated to the place of inheritance, where there was a mysterious power.
As soon as this giant hand touched the place of inheritance, it was bounced away.
The giant hand seemed to be enraged and smashed down angrily.
The ferocious momentum seemed to be able to smash the inheritance place of the Sky-Swallowing Beast to pieces. At the critical moment, a sword came from the west with a long and powerful force.
In the Sky-peeking Realm, a shocking scene appeared.
Another person appeared from the horizon, and a vast sword energy descended from the sky, shattering the space nearby. The four Mahayana and Great Monarch-level strongmen were all enveloped in the sword energy.
"Zixiao!"
Angry roars from the four strong men rang out, and the sword energy in the sky was merciless.
They were still lucky because the strong man who wanted to rush into the space crack was the main target of the sword energy, and nearly half of the sword energy submerged him.
那名大乘期强者并没有选择硬扛，气息很快就消失了，对方似乎马上就遁走了，抑或是选择重新隐藏起来。
“师叔祖来了！”戚昱和钱峰主几人激动不已。
他们本以为能来一位大乘期长老就不错了，没想到师叔祖亲自来了。
不过也难怪，这次深陷其中的人，毕竟就有师叔祖的弟子。
“往日可难得见到这么多大乘期，而且刚刚那个攻击吞天兽禁地的强者，你们知道是谁吗，气息很陌生。”
“可能是某个隐世不出的老牌强者？”
“有可能，宁晋原和丁十尉都来了倒是奇怪，其他门派为什么到现在都没派人来？”
正说着，四面八方陡然升起一道道强悍至极的气息，并距离越来越近。
无数的威压骤然降下来，大部分修士早就离得远远的，抱着侥幸没走的人，直接被压趴了，七窍流血，面如土色。
“这一下，好像来了至少六七个大乘期强者，妖魔那边似乎只有最开始那两头大君主级的妖魔。”
高寒眉头轻轻一拧，总觉得不太对劲。
“这些妖魔如果早有算计，不会只来两个，要么他们算计的是人族内讧，要么就是附近还有妖魔潜伏。”钟离庭洲说。
“前者的可能性很大，我怀疑，他们要算计的可能是紫霄师伯。”高寒神色冰冷。
紫霄上人不是大乘期，他是渡劫期的强者，而且是几乎已经到金字塔的顶端，不能再往前进一步。
因为灵天大陆不能再飞升，没有仙界接引，飞升后很可能会陨落，所以很多隐世不出的强者都选择不突破，甚至拼命压制自己的修为。
紫霄上人现在到底是渡劫第几次，没人知道，但很多人都觉得应该没剩下几次，若能逼迫他收不住力量，从而被迫渡劫，对妖魔来说，他们的目的至少达到了。
“你看看，我们虽然是秘密过来的，但是世上没有不透风的墙，总有人会知道，而紫霄师伯不可能让他们动我们，就不得不出手。”
“这样一来，师尊就会与所有人为敌，其他门派和散修强者，包括妖魔，不会让紫霄宗独自吞下吞天兽的法宝，再次暴涨实力。”钟离庭洲眼神亦释放着寒霜。
“有幕后者在背后操纵着一切。”
一旁没有插话的重地三人，突然有一丝明悟，为什么高寒不马上通知紫霄宗的人，而是选择两人独自过来。
三人心中不禁升起一丝愧疚，尤其是玄笑，他想起自己来之前说的话，他怎么有脸，紫霄宗又没欠他们的。
“对不起，我们不知道有人在利用我们算计紫霄上人。”玄笑走到高寒和钟离庭洲面前，跪下去前被高寒扶住了。
“我们也没想到，不过就算知道，我和庭洲还是会做出同样的选择。”
不是因为什么大义，仅仅是因为富贵是他们的亲人。
从当初两人毫不犹豫地跟着玄笑过来，他们就看出来了。
“你们也不必自责，就算我当时没有传讯给宗门，幕后黑手也总有办法让紫霄师伯知道这件事。”高寒安慰他们道。
重地沉默一下，“现在有一个办法，就是我们刚刚说的，我们出去，吸引所有人的注意，至少能引走几个，紫霄上人的压力就会小很多，幸运的话，或许能把九成的大乘期引走。”
“那样的话，你们必死无疑。”高寒说。
“只要少主没事，吞天兽的希望就会存在，我们死不足惜。”重地一副视死如归的坚定神情。
“我们也是。”玄笑和白鹤亦同时道。
钟离庭洲把窥天境抛给他们，“既然这样，这块窥天境就给你们吧，反正它跟着我的作用也不是特别大。”
“这不行，窥天境是作为报酬给你们的，我们不可能收回来。”重地毫不犹豫地拒绝了。
“你以为是白送的？这是借给你们的。”钟离庭洲不耐烦地说道，“我最烦这种，你们可要想清楚了。”
“我把逆皇钟也借给你们……”
“不！”
高寒话还没说完，就被三个声音异口同声的拒绝了。
“窥天境我们可以收下，反正是借的，但是逆皇钟不行，它本就不是我们的，就是借，我们也借得不安心。”
他们不仅是被救一方，还要接受对方的赔礼，简直前所未闻。
“逆皇钟并不是无偿的，借也是需要付出利息的，你们一日不还，我就从你们留下的天材地宝中取一样，说起来还是你们亏了，占便宜的是我。”
重地迟疑了一瞬，“可万一我们被抓住或杀死，逆皇钟也会被对方夺去，你们可能就找不回来了，我们不能冒这个险。”
“你们努力不被抓住或杀死不就行了，再说，逆皇钟又不会解除与高寒的绑定，待高寒用凤凰真火重新炼一炼，别人想强行绑定契约逆皇钟，除非他们不怕凤凰真火。”
钟离庭洲是真的不耐烦了，磨磨叽叽的。
重地发现他眼里都快渗出杀气，心里却升起一丝感动，一咬牙就答应了。
“好，那就按你们说的办。”
高寒当即把逆皇钟重新炼化了一遍。
禁地外，各方巨擘高立于虚空之中，那四名强者摆脱了紫霄上人的剑气，略微狼狈地现出身形。
“藏头露尾，还不显形？”紫霄上人目光如炬，穿透虚空某处，手中幻化出一柄白皑皑的剑，轻描淡写地划出一剑。
没有剑气震荡而过，那处空间却涌动翻滚，扭曲了几下，一名大乘强者从里面跌了出来。
“莫无鸠！”在场的人立刻认出对方。
刚刚攻击禁地那只巨手，正是莫无鸠的，不知在那里藏了多久。
这人显然图谋不小，竟藏身在空间裂缝之中，难怪大家没有第一时间发现。
紫霄上人没有继续看莫无鸠的方向，手中的剑就要二度挥出，两道大笑声便从遥远的方向传来。
片刻后，两道长虹似从天际飞过来，一身浩瀚威压，又来了两名大乘修士。
围观的人心惊胆战，这是怎么回事，居然聚集了这么多大乘修士，自从妖魔战场没有出现大型战事后，已经许多年没有出现过这一幕。
“这下师伯恐怕有麻烦了。”禁地里，透过窥天境看到这一幕的高寒眉头紧紧皱起。
“幽魔宗的大乘修士，还有器星谷的大乘修士，似乎这些赶过来的大乘修士，多是与紫霄宗不那么合的。”钟离庭洲眼神也越来越凝重。
高寒声音变冷，“妖魔这次看来是铁了心要对付师伯，居然如此大手笔。”
“是啊，放这些人来，却困住了其他人，岂不是大手笔。”钟离庭洲眸中寒意加深。
“现在是什么情况？”三头吞金兽都不是很明白。
“这几个人族大乘修士，多和紫霄宗有过一些过节，和紫霄宗关系不错的大乘修士为何没有赶到，多半都被绊住了。”
“如此手笔，若是对付一般的大乘修士，有些不合情理，但若是用来对付紫霄师伯，却合情合理。”高寒神色凝重，他不知道妖魔是不是还有后手。
“他们就不怕，紫霄宗的强者到时杀上门吗？”重地声音沉重地问道。
“师尊若真陨落在这里，紫霄宗的实力毫无疑问会下跌，没有强大的渡劫期震慑，这些人还有什么好怕的，比起得到上古仙器，得罪一个大门派算不得什么，且有了上古仙器，他们的战力也会成倍提升，没有任何一个人能拒绝得了诱惑，他们与紫霄宗有过恩怨，所以最容易挑拨，若师尊阻拦他们，这些人定会群起而攻之。”钟离庭洲嘲讽地说道。
高寒突然说：“当日在妖魔战场攻击玄笑的人族修士，要么是妖魔，要么就是与妖魔暗中勾结的人族修士。”
这并不是一个十分完美的陷阱，但是一环扣一环，最后总会有人上钩，而最后上钩的人，至少有七八成的可能性是紫霄宗的强者。
妖魔也是在赌，但不得不说，这是一个成功率极高的赌博。
大家看向窥天镜。
且不说出现的人族修士会怎么站队，若真翻脸，紫霄上人一人最起码要面对至少七个大乘修为的对手。
“紫霄，你自己不入吞天兽的禁地，缘何要阻止我们，莫非你的弟子在里面，紫霄宗想独吞吞天兽族所有法宝不成？”莫无鸠冷笑出声。
“紫霄的弟子果真在里面？”后来的幽魔宗大乘和器星谷大乘对此都不知情。
“他们确实在里面，这一点我可以作证，我的子孙正是被他们在紫霄宗山门前所杀，仅仅只是因为我的子孙发现吞金兽与紫霄宗的弟子有往来。”丁十尉只字不提丁大江想杀人夺宝的真相。
宁晋原目光尖锐地盯着紫霄上人，“就算紫霄宗是灵天大陆第一大门派，你们的胃口也太大了。”
“紫霄上人，你们这么做可不厚道。”幽魔宗的大乘修士伏海似笑非笑地说道。
Only the Mahayana from Qixing Valley did not express his opinion immediately.
Master Zixiao glanced at them calmly, then looked at the two great monarch-level demons standing on his right, with their momentum unchanged, "Such an obvious provocation, are you sure you want to let the demons laugh at you?"
"If the Zixiao Sect wants to use justice to pressure us, they should at least show some sincerity," said Captain Ding Shiwei.
"Oh." Master Zixiao responded, his face calm, "Then tell me, what does it mean to show some sincerity?"
"Of course, you should ask your disciple, Gao Han, to hand over all the treasures on him. Not a single one should be left out. This is fair."
The one who spoke was Mo Wujiu, and the darkness in his eyes was filled with deep malice.
"Wouldn't it be best if I handed over the Eight Divine Swords to you? That would be the best thing to do." Master Zixiao chuckled, "This is one of your goals, right?"
"So what? The Eight Divine Swords originally belonged to the Supreme Sect. We are just returning them to their original owners." Mo Wujiu said coldly, not hiding his thoughts at all.
Master Zixiao suddenly changed the subject, "Mo Wujiu, do you know why the Eight Gods didn't create the complete Eight Gods Sword back then?"
Mo Wujiu's eyes flashed, "If your disciple doesn't hand over the things today, we will never let it go."
"The Supreme Sect is very ruthless towards its own disciples." Master Zixiao.
"Stop talking nonsense. We don't have much patience. Let them come out and hand over the things in the treasury. That's it. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless." Ning Jinyuan said with a gloomy face.
Captain Ding said, "Or get out of the way and let us go in by ourselves."
"It seems that you have made up your mind. If you talk nicely, I may be able to make some concessions. But if you take advantage of the situation and bully the Zixiao Sect, wouldn't it be a loss of the reputation of my Zixiao Sect if I compromise?"
Master Zixiao was leaning against the entrance to the forbidden area. The strong wind that kept leaking out from the space cracks dispersed to both sides when it approached him. The hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind, and the arc did not even change.
"What about you?" Master Zixiao looked at Fu Hai and Rong Xiangyang.
“Eating alone is not a good habit.” Fu Hai of the Phantom Demon Sect said calmly.
Rong Xiangyang didn't say anything, but his attitude seemed to be the same as Fu Hai's.
A soft sigh sounded in the air.
"I, Zixiao, haven't shown my power for many years, yet I'm actually being bullied."
