Outside the Forbidden Area, Myriad Bone Forest.
“When do you think this forbidden area will open?”
A cultivator couldn’t help but ask as he looked at the forbidden area, Myriad Bone Forest, which was covered by restrictions.
When the other cultivator heard this, he replied, “It should be within these few days. 1 heard that the four princes of the Yue Dynasty have all come here.”
“It’s said that it’s because they want to find the existence of dragon energy in here.”
“As long as they can absorb this dragon energy, they will be able to increase their chances of obtaining the throne.”
“After all, whoever has the most dragon energy in the fight for the throne ten years later will become the new emperor of the Yue Dynasty.”
“In order to fight for this dragon energy, the four princes have already gathered most of their strength.”
“I heard that five of the top ten masters on the Mortal Rank have come this time.”
“Oh? Which five?”
These cultivators didn’t really care about the situation of the Yue Dynasty.
In any case, they were just working part-time. Helping these princes was only to obtain the qualifications to eventually create the path for immortal ascension.
On the other hand, these cultivators were more concerned about the Moeral Ranking.
This was because the Mortal Rank reflect the strength of cultivators and let them know the gap between themselves and other cultivators.
Hearing that five of the top ten masters from the mortal rank had come, the surrounding cultivators couldn’t sit still.
Because this meant that they would have many more competitors for this trip to the forbidden area.
One had to know that in the forbidden area, there was no distinction between the righteous and the devil.
Not to mention the other sects, even the cultivators of their own sects, might attack directly if they encountered a treasure.
Moreover, such places like the forbidden area, as long as one did the finishing work well, no one from the outside world would find out.
Thus, in this place, one has to be wary of even their fellow disciple.
Otherwise, he might be tricked by his fellow disciples.
Outside the forbidden area, Myriad Bone Forest, the four princes’ camps had split into four directions, occupying the north, south, east, and west.
Every cultivator carried a special treasure that could contain dragon energy.
This thing could collect the dragon energy that was scattered in the forbidden area.
The cultivators were already familiar with this kind of work.
Now, all the scattered dragon energy in the Yue Dynasty had been collected.
The princes who had collected a large amount of dragon energy were the First Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Sixth Prince.
The other princes had already been eliminated in the previous stage of the dragon energy competition.
These four people were the ones most likely to fight for the throne.
The only places in the Full Moon Mountain Range that still had dragon energy were those places that could not be entered under normal circumstances.
The forbidden area was such a region.
Due to the importance of the dragon energy, the four princes gathered as much power as they could.
This also added many unfamiliar faces to the four princes’ team.
However, the princes did not send all the cultivators to the Myriad Bone Forest.
This was because since things like dragon energy could be fought over, the dragon energy that the princes had already obtained could naturally be snatched.
Therefore, every prince still placed most of their strength on protecting their headquarters.
After all, there was no need to start a war before the final moment.
Although the Myriad Bone Forest was important, but if the dragon energy that they had already obtained was snatched away by his opponent, it would not have been worth it.
Under such circumstances, cultivators who had just joined were undoubtedly the best cannon fodder.
Their mission was also very simple. That was, after entering the forbidden area, they would help find the area where the dragon energy was.
Because the dragon energy would enter a visible state during the Tidal Moon.
Therefore, as long as a cultivator had some cultivation, they could sense its existence.
That was why the princes were so desperate to find cultivators among the people.
They did not want masters, but a sufficient number of low-level cultivators with a certain level of cultivation.
However, expanding power without any checks or asking where the cultivators come from would definitely give some people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
A hundred miles away from the Third Prince’s camp.
“All!”
Under the pitch-black night sky, a scream instantly sounded in the forest, and then it quickly returned to silence.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and an indescribable rancid smell.
A group of masked people appeared in the forest.
At their feet were a pile of corpses.
Upon a closer look, the corpses on the ground were bodies of cultivators,
There were a total of 30 people.
A few of them were cultivators from both the righteous and demonic sects.
Three men in black stood beside the corpse and looked at it coldly.
Not long after, another black-robed man walked over from afar.
Although his expression could not be seen, judging from the aura and the oppressive atmosphere, it was obvious that the other party was not in a good mood.
Seeing this, a man in black said with a hint of mockery, “Bi Fang, you didn’t catch up to that fatty?”
Hearing this, the man in black named Bi Fang looked up at the man in black with the word ‘Wen Yu’ written on his mask.
“Wen Yu, that guy isn’t an ordinary person. He has luck on him and isn’t easy to catch.”
Bi Fang didn’t care about his and mocked, “Everyone here is blessed with luck.”
“Without luck, do you think that the Heavenly Devil can possess you?”
“With the help of the Heavenly Devil, you still couldn’t catch the person. I really wonder how you joined the Heavenly Devil Palace.”
Being ridiculed by the Bi Fang time and time again, Wen Yi was furious.
Crash!
The originally calm sky suddenly began to rain.
Moreover, this rain was not any normal rain, but a corrosive poisonous rain.
A shadow slowly appeared behind Wen Yu.
It was a special creature with the body of a fish and the wings of a bird.
If Lu Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize what this creature was.
This was the beast, Wen Yu, from the Classic of Mountain and Sea.
[Mountain Sea Beast, Wen Yu: Gui Mountain, originates from the mountain and flows southward into the ocean water, within many yellow shells. Wen Yu has the body of a fish and the wings of a bird. It sounds like a Mandarin duck and when it appears, it will cause a village flood]
And the characteristic of Wen Yu was… When it appears, there would be a flood.
Therefore, the rain did not appear suddenly. It was a divine ability that Wen Yu had used in his anger.
However, since Wen Yu had been possessed by a beast, so did Bi Fang.
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a cry, an illusory flaming crane appeared behind Bi Fang.
Apart from its fiery red body, this crane only had one leg.
This illusion was the Beast of the mountains and seas, Bi Fang.
And the symbol for Bi Fang… was fire!
Therefore, after Bi Fang appeared, the surrounding ground instantly began to crack.
Large flames appeared around Bi Fang, confronting Wen Yu opposite him.
Seeing the two of them seemed to be about to fight, a man in black walked out.
On his mask, the words ‘Hook Sanke’ was written.
“Stop arguing. Let Wen Yu tell us what’s going on.”
“To be able to escape from the hands of Wen Yu, the other party is definitely not an ordinary person.”
Seeing that someone was trying to smooth things over, Wen Yu let out a muffled grunt and retracted his Heavenly Devil Illusion.
Seeing this, Bi Fang smiled and also put away his Sky Devil Illusion.
Wen Yu looked at everyone and said in a gloomy tone, “That guy is called Bai Dafei. He seems to be a direct disciple of a small sect outside.”
“His cultivation isn’t high, only at level eight of Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“But for some reason, this guy has very strange tricks. He had a pile of pills that can explode in an instant.”
“He even has a few special puppets. 1 was accidentally tricked by the guy, and ended up letting him escape.”
“Bai Dafei, is it?” Hook Snake asked. “We’ll let him go this time. There is a lot of big fish this time, we don’t lack this one.”
“Then what grade do you think his luck is?”
“It’s a medium-level yellow grade,” said Wen Yu after thinking for a moment.” It’s still a distance away from high-grade.”
When he heard that Bai Dafei was only a middle-level yellow grade luck, Hook Snake did not care anymore.
“It’s just a yellow grade person with the luck. Let him run. We will find another opportunity to catch him next time..”
