Two hours later, the golden warship finally hovered above a dense forest.
Looking ahead, the sky was shrouded in large patches of purple-black toxic mist, and beneath that mist stood countless ancient trees, tall and lush.
Faintly visible, many figures were walking in the forest at this mont, while more people were gathered at the forest’s periter, not daring to explore further.
Wind Devouring Forest!
A Life Forbidden Zone in the Divine Domain that instilled fear in all who heard of it.
In ancient tis, even the Divine Spirits living in this space dared not venture too much here.
Rumor has it, a Daoist Master Level expert once ventured inside, but ultimately, they disappeared without a trace, unable to escape alive.
Mo Wangchen and his group descended from the golden warship and finally arrived on the ground.
The arrival of their group of dozens of people naturally attracted the attention of others present, who all turned their eyes towards them.
Mo Wangchen glanced around, estimating that there were several hundred cultivators gathered here, most of whom were conserving their energy, preparing to enter Wind Devouring Forest to explore.
"Hehe, so it’s Li Xuan, I wondered who had co."
A faint laugh suddenly ca from a certain direction in the crowd, and upon looking over, they saw a group of a dozen people walking towards them.
The leader, dressed in black, had eyebrows like swords, giving off a sharp and fierce impression.
The man’s na was Xiao Ran, also hailing from the Tianxuan Universe. He had frequent conflicts with East Fla Saint Heir Li Xuan, but the two had never actually fought.
"If you can co, naturally, so can I." Li Xuan glanced at Xiao Ran and his group, responding lightly.
"Wind Devouring Forest is a Restricted Zone in the Divine Domain, not anyone can simply step into it. From the look of it, the people you’ve brought don’t seem particularly strong. Li Xuan, you still like to gather cannon fodder, as always," Xiao Ran mocked.
"Who are you calling cannon fodder?"
Li Xuan seed used to Xiao Ran’s words and couldn’t be bothered to respond, but the others traveling with him couldn’t hold back. Among them was Zhuge Qing, who, with his robust build, stepped forward to confront Xiao Ran, "You seem to be quite a bit too arrogant, don’t you?"
"Being used by soone else and not even realizing it, how pathetic." Xiao Ran shook his head with a disdainful laugh.
"Boom!"
Just as Xiao Ran finished speaking, Zhuge Qing made his move. With a fiery disposition, how could he endure such disdain from others?
Moreover, earlier in Yunyi City, he had been constantly displeased with Mo Wangchen, not knowing where to vent his frustration.
"I’d like to see how capable you really are."
With a cold snort, Zhuge Qing waved his large hand, transforming it into a giant claw of an Azure Dragon, fiercely grabbing towards Xiao Ran’s head.
"Arrogant!"
Xiao Ran stood still, not even bothering to glance at Zhuge Qing. Just as Zhuge Qing’s attack neared his head, a man accompanying Xiao Ran made a move, extending a palm, instantly colliding with Zhuge Qing’s attack.
"Boom!"
The energy violently shook, a deafening sound echoed all around. In the clash, Zhuge Qing was directly flung back, his face turning pale. With a look of shock, he stared at the opponent.
"You indeed have so skills, but trying to make City Lord Xiao take action with just you isn’t enough," the man waved his hand. In the collision, he too stepped back three paces, feeling his arm go a bit numb, having to admit that while Zhuge Qing lacked wit, the power he unleashed was indeed impressive.
"This person must be at least at the Peak of Reverse Life Realm Level Three," Mo Wangchen observed everything, unable to help narrowing his eyes.
There was no need to question Xiao Ran’s strength; like Li Xuan, he was also in the fourth level of the Reverse Life Realm. The only difference was the gap between their groups.
On Li Xuan’s side, aside from Zhuge Qing, Zhang Ziling, and the Tianqing Saintess, there were no other experts at the third level of the Reverse Life Realm. In contrast, among the dozen people behind Xiao Ran, most had reached the third level, with the weakest at the second level of the Reverse Life Realm.
"Enough."
Seeing that Zhuge Qing, this reckless man, still seed dissatisfied and ready to continue attacking, Li Xuan stopped him, then turned his gaze to Xiao Ran and said, "Let’s each take a step back. It’ll benefit no one if a conflict breaks out now. You should understand, apart from our two groups, there are even stronger opponents arriving at Wind Devouring Forest."
Xiao Ran smiled upon hearing this, then said, "Honestly, though we’ve had many disputes in the past, there’s no real grudge between us. This ti, with the discovery of a crystal mine attracting many masters, why don’t we, as fellow people from the Tianxuan Universe, join forces to enter Wind Devouring Forest?"
Li Xuan said nothing, neither agreeing nor imdiately rejecting. He looked at Xiao Ran, as if waiting for him to elaborate.
"If we find the crystal mine, we’ll split it fifty-fifty, how’s that?" Xiao Ran asked with a faint smile.
"Agreed."
Li Xuan had no other choice. Upon arriving here, he indeed felt his team was sowhat weaker, but allying with Xiao Ran could offer a great chance to claim the crystal mine’s ownership.
"Why invite them to join us, City Lord Xiao? Won’t that just an fewer crystals for us?" soone behind Xiao Ran frowned and couldn’t help but speak up.
Indeed, if they allied with Li Xuan’s group, even if they seized the crystal mine, splitting it would an significantly fewer Divine Crystals for City Lord Xiao.
"What’s this friend saying? Speaking as though allying with us is doing us a favor? You saw it yourselves; the teams gathered today are no weaker than ours. Trying to act alone, you’re unlikely to even qualify to compete for the crystal mine. Wouldn’t it be better to join forces for mutual benefit?" Zhang Ziling, usually good-natured, couldn’t resist speaking up now.
The others found his words reasonable; if they allied with Li Xuan’s team, their team’s strength would naturally greatly improve, significantly increasing their chances of seizing the crystal mine. Conversely, without teaming up, given the strength of their respective teams, it would be very difficult to claim the mine’s ownership.
"I have no objections. Your team’s strength does qualify to join us, but not this person." A man stepped forward from behind Xiao Ran, pointing directly at Mo Wangchen, speaking bluntly.
"Indeed, if I’m not mistaken, isn’t this person still at the first level of the Reverse Life Realm? How are they qualified to travel with us?" added another.
