Chapter 11: The Energy Stone Mountain Range!

  "These people, really have no idea what's going on, they actually think this is a place anyone can come to." The child beside the Medicine Saint glanced at the group and muttered viciously, "They really think they're something special."

  However, the look in his eyes towards Ling Wushuang still had some fear, and he just coldly snorted, not daring to say another word, before quickly joining the queue entering the Holy Temple.

  After Yao Sheng Kuai Bu left, Zhang Yi looked at Zhan Qi and frowned, still worried: "Captain, we can't resist the invasion of death energy, we really can't go far, does that Yao Sheng have a way to resist the death energy here?"

  Looking at Yao Sheng's appearance, it was obviously not his first time coming to this place.

  Zhang Yi led Hong Shu and others, walking close to the black area for a distance before hastily retreating back. With a serious expression, he looked at Zhang Qi, "Captain, this place is indeed strange. As soon as I walked in a short distance, my entire body's Xuanli felt somewhat solidified, even breathing became difficult."

  He is a mid-tier saint, and his influence is already so obvious. For others, it goes without saying, let alone now that he's still on the periphery.

  "Should we advance or retreat?" Several people looked at Zhan Qi with serious expressions, wanting to hear his opinion.

  "Let's take it one step at a time, if there's really no other way, then we can only retreat." Zhan Qi furrowed his brow and thought for a long time, letting out an almost inaudible sigh, his eyes somewhat deepened.

  Ling Wushuang smiled lightly and took a slow step forward, only then speaking in an unhurried tone: "Commander of the War Division doesn't need to worry so much, I have a way to deal with this death aura."

  "What?!"

  "You have a way"

  Several surprised voices came out of the mouths of War Repair and others.

  "Musō, do you really have a way?" Sen Shū asked somewhat uncertainly.

  Ling Wu's eyes gazed into the distance, his thoughts seemingly a thousand miles away. When he turned back, he saw several people staring at him intently. He couldn't help but let out a wry smile and said with absolute certainty: "That's right, I have a way to deal with this. As long as you all stay close to me and don't stray too far, you won't be affected by the death energy."

  Zhan Qi and Zhang Yi exchanged a look, though somewhat surprised, but based on their understanding of Ling Wu Suo over the past few days, they unconsciously believed her words.

  A crowd of about two thousand people gathered around the dangerous terrain, eager to try but hesitant to advance easily. Some weaker individuals did not plan to follow and instead wandered around the perimeter, picking up many treasures, including various precious minerals.

  The remaining stronger forces are all cultivating their strength and preparing to venture into dangerous territory.

  Yao Sheng and his group had just arrived, they simply looked around and were about to enter.

  Suddenly, the Medicine Saint coldly laughed twice, stopped in his tracks, and put his hands behind his back with his sleeves covering them. He slowly raised his eyes to look at the people of the Iron Wolf tribe and asked: "Iron General, this saint can guarantee that you will not be affected by the aura of death. I wonder if you are willing to travel with us?"

  "What?" Tie Feng was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react or perhaps, didn't dare to believe that such a good thing had happened to him.

  The Medicine Saint frowned slightly, "If you're unwilling, this saint won't force it."

  "Fei Tong quickly regained his composure, looking as if he had received a great honor, and hastily replied: 'In that case, I'd rather obey than show respect'"

  Tie Feng finished speaking and burst out laughing. Although he didn't know why the Medicine Saint had them follow, with such a good opportunity being delivered to his doorstep, how could he refuse?

  "I like smart people like you." Yao Sheng smiled with satisfaction, looking at him with great appreciation. As he spoke, his eyes glanced over at the Wanderer's tribe, his gaze carrying a hint of irony.

  Upon hearing this, Tie Feng burst out laughing and patted his chest, saying: "If the Medicine Saint needs any help with anything, as long as I can do it, just say so. If you want any treasure that the Medicine Saint likes, no matter what it is, if you just say one word, I, Tie, will definitely give it up."

  The Iron Wolf Tribe sent nearly a thousand people to this place, suffering heavy losses, leaving only about 400-500 people. Some were unwilling to join forces with the Holy Temple, but the team leader had already spoken, and they couldn't disobey. However, many felt fortunate, having gained such security, and their lives were no longer threatened as much.

  Zhan Xi's two hands were clasped together in front of his chest, the black long spear was held tightly against him. Seeing Tie Feng's dog-legged appearance, he let out a disdainful snort, "A petty person who has achieved success"

  Although the Iron Wolf tribe is called the second largest forest hunter tribe, its power and the Wanderer tribe are not on the same level. Take the Holy Order for example, the Wanderer tribe has five, while the Iron Wolf tribe only has one, which is a first-rate Saint.

  Tie Feng's jealousy of Qi also led to constant fighting between the two tribes.

  Tie Feng's face turned ugly for a moment when he heard Zhan Xiou's words, but he quickly recovered and sneered: "You can be arrogant for now, I'll see how long you can keep it up. If you die in there, don't expect me to have the leisure to collect your corpses."

  A few days ago, because of Ling Wusuo, Yao Sheng and the Wanderer tribe had a feud, how could he bring these people in!

  At this time, he was being arrogant, but in the end, it wasn't him who lost face.

  "That's none of your concern, just mind your own business." Zhan Xiu coldly snorted.

  "It's like that, then we'll take the lead." Tie Feng burst out laughing, feeling extremely relieved in his heart, not wanting to waste time with these people. He waved his hand, signaling for the Iron Wolf tribe members to gather in this direction.

  Just thinking about being able to show off in front of the Vagabond Clan made Tie Feng extremely excited.

  Ling Wusuo gazed at Tie Feng's joyful face, narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and nudged Zhan Xu with his elbow. He pointed to Tie Feng with his chin and asked in a soft voice, "Tie Lang's tribe, who is that? Is he Tie Xiong's father?"

  "Ah——" Zhan Xiuyi's face stiffened slightly, and it wasn't until Ling Wu Shuang reminded him that he remembered something. How could he have forgotten this?

  Tie Feng turned his eyes to see Zhan Xiu staring at him with an odd gaze, and he frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.

  "Right," Zhan Xiu's composure was shaken, he cleared his throat and turned his head to respond with two words, in the end, he couldn't help but curve the corners of his lips.

  If Iron Phoenix knew that his most beloved youngest son was hung up and beaten by the peerless in front of him, he might be hanging naked from a tree right now, who knows if he can still be so happy? Can he still laugh?

  Zhan Xiu's inexplicable smile made Tie Feng feel very displeased, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on why. In the end, he let out a disdainful snort towards the group of wanderers from the Flowing Drifter Tribe, but between his brows, he couldn't hide his smugness.

  "Since it's not suitable to delay, Iron General is willing, so let's set off together." The Medicine Saint's expression was calm and collected as he raised his hand to signal the people from the Sacred Hall to gather around him. His lofty demeanor seemed to be too lazy to even bother speaking with these people.

  "I wonder if Medicine Saint has any method to counteract the influence of death energy" Tie Feng was very curious.

  "This is just for you" The Medicine Saint glanced at him and then flipped his hand, taking out an object and lightly holding it in his palm.

  "Protective Spirit Bead!"

  Tie Feng, as the leader of a large tribe, had obtained countless treasures and was considered to be knowledgeable and experienced. At a glance, he recognized the object in Yao Sheng's hand.

  The pearl in the hand of the medicine sage was as big as an adult's fist, shining brightly like a silver-white night pearl, releasing soft light to the outside. At the moment it appeared, the surrounding air quickly became much purer.

  "General Iron has a discerning eye." The Medicine Saint smiled calmly, savoring the jealous and admiring glances from those around him.

  "It's really the Guardian Spirit Pearl, guarding the heart and spirit." Iron Phoenix's eyes shone with a fiery light.

  Sacred artifact guardian three-piece set, among them, Moonlight Guardian Tian Luo Yu Zhu is the national treasure of Dong Lin, with absolute physical defense effect.

  The most core and key item among the three sets of Guardian is the Guardian Pearl in the hand of Medicine Saint, which has the effect of spiritual power immunity to attack. The higher the user's strength, the greater the effect it will produce!

  It's just unexpected that something left behind for so long would end up in the hands of the Medicine Saint.

  The dead air here, when inhaled into the body, mainly interferes with the heart and soul. The power released by the Heart-Guarding Pearl can just protect the most fatal part of the human heart and soul. From this point on, it can indeed resist the invasion of dead air to a certain extent.

  "No wonder he's so confident" Zhan Xiuyuan gazed at the object in Yao Sheng's hand from afar, nodded and muttered to himself, "So there's another treasure in his possession"

  The temple indeed has some depth, the rumored Guardian Three-piece Set, when assembled can be combined into a divine artifact, and the most central Heart Guardian, that is equivalent to an quasi-divine artifact.

  Ling Wu Xiong's eyebrows rose slightly with a hint of a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

  When they saw the Medicine Saint bring out such a treasure, some of the powers thought about it and sent someone to ask, "Medicine Saint, may we go with you?"

  With this thing protecting them, they will be much safer going in.

  These people, unlike the Wandering Tribe and Iron Wolf Tribe, are mostly small scattered forces or some exploratory teams temporarily gathered from various major forces. They have all come this far, so if they give up now, it would be a bit of a pity. That's why, seeing such a situation, they would try to think about going with Yao Xing and the others together.

  However, Yao Sheng heard this and his eyes slightly turned, with a hint of disdain in the depths of his eyes, and he expressionlessly said: "The range of the Guardian Spirit Pearl is limited, so many people following, it's probably not suitable"

  Some small fry followed them, serving no purpose and only dragging people down. What's the point of bringing them in to compete for treasure?

  The Medicine Saint invited the Iron Wolf Tribe for two reasons. One reason was that their strength was barely passable, but the main point was to suppress people like Ling Wu Xie and others. Later, they could also break through from the Iron Wolf Tribe's side and properly deal with the Wanderer's Tribe. Therefore, he naturally didn't have a good expression for these people who were now fawning over him.

  "It's like this, then we won't force it"

  Upon hearing Yao Sheng's words, the leaders of several small teams exchanged a glance, understanding the meaning behind his words. Although they were somewhat displeased, they didn't show it.

  After all, it's someone else's thing, and it's best if they're willing. If they're not, then it's no good to force them.

  "We're leaving." The Medicine Saint's sleeves fluttered as he turned a deaf ear to the crowd, leading the people of the Holy Hall and the Iron Wolf Tribe in large strides towards the grayish-brown earth.

  Tie Feng followed closely behind, and finally, he didn't forget to turn around, facing the direction of Zhan Qi and others, laughing loudly with a smug expression. "Commander Zhan, you can continue thinking of ways, I'll just take a step ahead first, don't wait for us to come back and still see you guys here!"

  The man had walked away for a long time, and in the low and gloomy air, his self-satisfied laughter could still be heard.

  "In that case, let's just head back. It's really too strange and it's best not to take any risks." The several leaders who had just wanted to travel with Yao Sheng looked at the group's distant figures leaving in the distance, shaking their heads with some regret.

  One person nodded in agreement, "It's just a pity, we've already come all this way."

  "This can't be helped, who would have expected this situation, however, the treasures obtained along the way are not few, it's worth it, we can gather them and then make a round trip around the periphery, there should also be a considerable gain"

  Several leaders were discussing heatedly, but didn't know where to start, when a clear and cold female voice cut in, "If the leaders don't mind, we can travel together."

  Several people looked over in surprise, seeing a smiling white-clothed girl, and were astonished. However, they only hesitated for a moment before excitedly exclaiming, "Could it be that you have a way to counteract the death energy here?"

  Ling Wushuang smiled and nodded, and the several leaders were excited at the same time, but also knew their place. Before Ling Wushuang could speak, they took the lead in saying: "If you really have a way, we will follow you in and definitely do our best to help. Of course, we won't monopolize any treasures we can get."

  Ling Wusuo didn't mind these things at all, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle and nodded his head slightly.

  Being convenient to others is being convenient to oneself, she wouldn't have such narrow thoughts, and besides, these people's abilities aren't weak either. Scattered powers are all over the world, and there are also hidden talents, having the chance to get acquainted with them would be good too.

  Zhan Xiu hugged his black long gun and stood beside Ling Wushuang, only smiling slightly.

  "Warlord, how's the formation?" Ling Wusuo nodded and turned around to look at the group of Wanderers' tribe.

  "We can set off immediately," Zhan Qi replied in a calm tone, his voice laced with subtle anticipation.

  Ling Wushuang's clear eyes narrowed slightly, "Alright, let's set off."

  It turned out that the vagabond tribe also had a way to resist the death energy. Under everyone's intentional or unintentional summons, those who wanted to enter the black region all followed behind Ling Wusuo, roughly numbering around one thousand people.

  As she stepped into the black land, Ling Wu Shuang's breathing slightly rose, and the power of thousands of miles of vines within her body quickly mobilized. The endless life force centered on her, like an invisible light ball, radiated outward, enveloping everyone around her!

  "The feeling of suffocation has disappeared!" Just a moment ago, Hong Shu and others were still feeling short of breath, but to their surprise, that stuffy feeling vanished in an instant. What's even more strange is that they suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated!

  As soon as Zhan Qi entered, he was met with a thick and heavy aura that pressed down on him, making his breathing slightly tight. It felt as if countless dust particles were drilling into his ears and nose, and the aura of death seeped in through every pore. There was also a faint humming noise by his ear, but it only lasted for an instant before disappearing without a trace.

  "Vanished!" He quickly turned his eyes towards Ling Wu Xiang, a look of astonishment overflowing from his expression.

  Standing beside Ling Wu Shuang, Zhan Xi felt it most intensely and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Wu Shuang, how did you manage to do that?"

  He had always believed in Musou's words, but he didn't expect that Musou would be able to remove the dead air around him on such a large scale. Moreover, the closer he got to her, the more he could feel a comfortable breath, as if soaking in sweet and clear spring water.

  "This is a secret technique" Ling Wusuo smiled lightly and turned his head, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, simply saying this sentence, which was both true and false.

  Zhan Xiu helplessly pointed at her and had some thoughts in his mind, but didn't ask any more questions.

  The sky, as if an endless gray haze, the ground, black rock particles, trampling on it crackling and popping, the surrounding trees, sparse and withered branches and leaves, occasionally visible brown-red pine needles covering the ground, stepping on them, soft all the way to the heart, the occasional strange calls from around, making people's hearts tremble with fear.

  Ling Wushuang walked at the forefront, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as if in thought.

  I don't know what the reason is, but from afar, it seems like there's something that's subtly pulling her forward, and the thousand-mile-long vines rooted within her body are rapidly rotating without her even needing to consciously control them. The feeling is as if she's sensed a kinship with someone who shares the same bloodline!

  Ling Wushuang was also led by that feeling, moving forward in the direction she had in mind. The group arrived here, and unknowingly, they were all following Ling Wushuang's footsteps, including Zhan Qi and others, who were no exception.

  "Look quickly, you guys look quickly, what is that?!"

  A group of people walked in for over ten miles before stopping their footsteps in shock at the same time.

  In the distance, a range of mountains shrouded in mist and dust, faintly emits a hazy light, as if it were there but not quite, giving off an aura of a golden mountain!

  "It's actually the Energy Stone Mountain Range!" Even someone as knowledgeable as War Qi was shocked, his mouth agape.

  As far as the eye can see, a whole mountain range, densely packed, with five-colored energy stones, like a profusion of flowers in full bloom, competing to emit soft and gentle light. Moreover, they are all high-quality energy stones, which are extremely precious outside, but here, an entire mountain range has appeared!

  "Haha, this is really big!" The crowd came back to their senses and excitedly ran towards that mountain range.
