As soon as this was said, both Xiao Baifeng and Mu Ying, along with others like Huang Niu, showed signs of shock.
Human race experts hiding nearby?
Everyone imdiately looked around.
However, the surroundings were calm, not at all suggesting that anyone was hidden nearby.
Nevertheless, Cang Wuqi was extrely calm, staring directly ahead to the left.
There was nothing there.
Yet, just at this mont, the originally empty space suddenly showed a distortion of light.
Soon after, a glow appeared.
Within the glow, several figures erged.
They were all human race cultivators.
These human race cultivators were none other than Lan City Lord, Huang Tian Zhenren, and their entourage.
All of them stood on a magic treasure resembling a jade plate.
That jade plate magic treasure emitted a faint silver radiance, enveloping them within.
From afar, Zhou Yu and others hiding in the dark also displayed expressions of shock.
Clearly, they too had not expected Lan City Lord and others to hide so perfectly.
Zhou Yu’s eyes flashed with an unusual color, pondering sothing unknown.
Of course, Lan City Lord and his group were equally surprised.
Lan City Lord kept scrutinizing Cang Wuqi as if wondering how he discovered them.
It should be known that this jade plate treasure is one of Lan City Lord’s biggest trump cards.
With this treasure, he once escaped from the hands of a high-level cultivator at the late stage of void refining.
Unexpectedly, today it was seen through by a mber of the demon race.
anwhile, Mu Ying, Xiao Baifeng, and others turned extrely apprehensive.
They knew long ago that the human race wanted to intervene in this matter, so they had rushed to the entrance of the Tomb of Death, hoping to seize the Holy Object before the human experts arrived.
Unexpectedly, although they hurried, they still ran into human experts.
They were not afraid of these human experts.
But now the matter had beco increasingly complicated, with more and more factions involved, leaving no certainty that any side could ensure seizing the Holy Object.
Judging by the current situation, even if the Holy Object could be seized, it might co at a great cost.
At that mont, Xiao Baifeng and others instinctively exchanged glances with Mu Ying and others.
Subsequently, both sides silently nodded.
In that fleeting mont, they reached a tacit understanding.
Even though they view each other as opponents and wish to destroy their rivals, all this was premised on the absence of the human race.
Internal conflicts within the demon race are quite common.
However, once the human race gets involved, even grudges as large as mountains are usually set aside by the demon race.
They just reached a tacit agreent.
No matter who gets the Holy Object, the bottom line is that it cannot be taken by the human race.
At this mont, Huang Tian Zhenren spoke.
"Cang Wuqi, shouldn’t you, being a Phantom Scorpion, be in seclusion, trying to survive your next 10,000-year heavenly tribulation?"
"And yet you dare to wander around."
"If I rember correctly, your next heavenly tribulation is imminent. Aren’t you afraid of dying?"
Upon hearing Huang Tian Zhenren’s words, Lan City Lord and the others, including Xiao Baifeng and Mu Ying, all looked toward Cang Wuqi.
Of course, they knew Cang Wuqi’s true form was a Phantom Scorpion but were unaware that he was about to face the next 10,000-year heavenly tribulation.
Being of the demon race, they were well aware of the terror of the 10,000-year heavenly tribulation.
The so-called 10,000-year heavenly tribulation is a trial faced by demon beasts above the sixth rank, possessing transformation capabilities.
Transford demon beasts endure a heavenly tribulation every 10,000 years.
If they survive, they have the chance to continue cultivating.
If they do not survive, their only fate is to crumble into nothingness.
This ans all demon beasts above the sixth rank have only one path: to find ways to enhance their strength and overco the heavenly tribulation.
Survive, live!
Fail to survive, die!
Beyond the impending 10,000-year heavenly tribulation for Cang Wuqi, people were stunned by the fact that the timing of a heavenly tribulation for demon beasts is highly confidential, usually only known to themselves, not even their spouses or children necessarily know.
Yet Huang Tian Zhenren casually revealed Cang Wuqi’s upcoming heavenly tribulation, which was astonishing.
Indeed, upon hearing Huang Tian Zhenren’s words, Cang Wuqi’s eyes flashed with displeasure but he did not erupt.
Rather, he replied calmly:
"I indeed must face the second 10,000-year heavenly tribulation."
"But I am not afraid of you knowing."
"This ti for tribulation crossing, I have a thirty percent chance."
"Under such circumstances, remaining in seclusion is tantamount to waiting for death."
"Therefore, on this journey out of my clan, I intended to find you."
"Unexpectedly, passing by the Land of the Dead Tomb, I encountered such an affair."
"Looking for ?"
Upon hearing Cang Wuqi’s words, Huang Tian Zhenren was greatly surprised.
"Why were you looking for ?"
Cang Wuqi smiled slightly.
"Huang Tian Zhenren, have you forgotten how we first t?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Tian Zhenren was slightly taken aback.
Then, he imdiately understood sothing.
Huang Tian Zhenren squinted his eyes, gazing at Cang Wuqi.
"Back then we t on the desert."
"Our eting that ti could be considered a friendship founded on combat."
"Why bring it up now, perhaps wishing to revisit the desert with ?"
With Huang Tian Zhenren’s words, Lan City Lord, Xiao Baifeng, Mu Ying, and other demon race mbers showed expressions of surprise.
The desert was not unfamiliar to them.
What is referred to as the desert is not a specific place but rather within the entirety of the Primordial Realm.
The Primordial Realm is divided among thousands upon thousands of races large and small.
Even so, these races have not fully occupied the entire Primordial Realm.
Beyond the realms touched by all races, there are vast and sparsely populated regions.
In those regions, there are Ancient Strange Species everywhere, full of unimaginable dangers.
At the sa ti, there are massive opportunities.
These unknown regions are collectively terd as the desert.
Tracing from now back to millions of years ago, even further back in ti.
During this extensive period, countless experts from various races have fallen in the desert.
This turns the desert into an inconceivable treasure trove, filled with allure.
Thus, the desert has beco a place for many high-level cultivators to seek opportunities.
No one expected that Huang Tian Zhenren and Cang Wuqi, one human and one demon, had once tead up to traverse the desert and returned safely, which was indeed remarkable.
At this mont, Cang Wuqi chuckled:
"Brother Huang Tian, we have cooperated once before and succeeded admirably."
"I believe under heaven, we should be the ones who can trust each other the most."
"Moreover, though you’ve recently advanced to the Void Refining Realm, your human race’s tribulation isn’t every 10,000 years."
"You should prepare early as well, shouldn’t you?"
"Of course, we can discuss this matter later."
"For now, let’s deal with what’s in front of us."
Speaking these words, Cang Wuqi’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Why don’t we join forces to eliminate these irrelevant people first."
"As for the Holy Object, we could split it. If splitting isn’t possible, we can exchange for treasures of equivalent value."
"Brother Huang Tian, what do you say?"
