The sudden appearance of these six black-robed men caused Long Chen's hair to stand on end. Even though he was not present, he still felt a sense of fear. At this moment, he held his breath, fearing that his unusual movements would alarm Kitten and cause Kitten to make a move.
However, thinking that he could control the Void Dragon Talisman and summon Kitten back, Long Chen did not have to worry anymore.
"I'd like to see what you mysterious black-robed men are up to."
Kitten, who was in Mi Cheng, felt that Long Chen had stopped his cultivation and heaved a sigh of relief. He carefully hid his body. Kitten was not afraid of these people at all. It was just that he was now occupying the body of the demonic beast Dream Demon. The Dream Demon was a demonic beast, so his nature was still there. When faced with the threat of an expert, he would naturally tremble.
At this moment, Kitten was trying his best to control his body to stabilize himself. Then, he stared at the group of people to see what they were doing.
A total of six people were standing outside the Five Color Altar. At this moment, one of them took a step forward. Without saying anything, his hands began to move in a complicated manner. Rays of purple light surged from his hands like ribbons.
Very soon, he took a few steps back. Then, Long Chen saw that the Five Color Altar that had disappeared actually began to appear again. Moreover, it was still in that misty state. The Five Color Altar lit up for a short while before completely disappearing.
The appearance of the Five Color Altar was within Long Chen's expectations. It seemed that these people already knew the Five Color Altar like the back of their hands.
Long Chen observed carefully. At this moment, he suddenly saw the hands of the person who cast the spell earlier. His hands were revealed from the long black sleeves. The hands inside were actually a pair of claws covered with purple scales.
Neat scales, sharp claws, and rays of dark purple flowing light flowed within them. It had a kind of power that could make one's soul tremble.
"This person, could he be a beast warrior? However, in a non-combat situation, why would he transform into a beast spirit?"
A trace of doubt flashed through Long Chen's mind.
After the Five Color Altar disappeared, under Long Chen's expectation, they began to talk. Talking as if there was no one else around was a way for Long Chen to obtain more information.
Long Chen was waiting for them to talk.
The man who cast the spell before let out a sinister laugh. It was very terrifying. His voice sounded like it came from the Nine Serenities of Hell. It didn't sound like a human at all.
"The entrance of the Five Emperors Mystic Realm will open a month before the Primordial Cemetery closes. Once they are done with this childish competition, it will be time to throw out the last Mystic Thearch Key.
"Where to put it?" The same sinister voice came from another direction.
"Since it's the Mystic Thearch's key, I'll leave it at Tianyi Water City."
"Hehe, after waiting for so long, the treasures of the Five Emperors are finally going to belong to us. Those damned Five Emperors, even if they were to die, they would still set up such a huge restriction, preventing us from obtaining the treasures."
"I've already opened the Primordial Cemetery many times without success. This time, it's finally the time …"
"Who is it?" The six people looked at each other and smiled. Through the moonlight, Long Chen seemed to see their faces that were different from ordinary people.
"Who?"
One of the men looked in the direction of Kitten. Long Chen was shocked. Without hesitation, he quickly called back the Void Dragon Talisman. As the distance was close, the Void Dragon Talisman had already fused into Long Chen's chest in a short moment. At the same time, Kitten had also entered the Void Realm.
Previously, they did notice a small movement at Kitten's side. However, Long Chen guessed that when they couldn't see Kitten, they would think it was just an illusion. After all, in their understanding, there was definitely no one stronger than them in the entire Primordial Cemetery.
"Who are these people? Why are they so strong? Every one of them gives me the feeling that they are more terrifying than Bai Lan and the others …"
The stronger a person was, the more terrifying they were.
In addition, from their conversation, Long Chen heard an even more shocking news. The goal of those black-robed men was actually the Five Thearch Treasure.
"This Primordial Graveyard is indeed being manipulated by someone. The manipulators should be them. They made us people from the Myriad Kingdoms Domain come here to open the treasures of the Five Emperors. Moreover, they have the key. The reason why they didn't go in and take it themselves should be because the Five Emperors had set a restriction. With their strength, it's impossible to take it away."
"You're right."
At this moment, Kitten had already come out of the Void Realm. He let out a breath and said, "Luckily you reacted quickly. Otherwise, this god would have been cut into pieces by those monsters."
"Kitten, if that's the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us, Bai Lan and the others to fight for the Five Thearch Treasure? Would we all be killed in the end? Even if we get it, it would be for nothing."
Kitten rolled his eyes and said, "How would I know? Wealth comes from danger. To be honest, if you want to go to the three Imperial Domains, without the Five Thearch Treasure, even if you lose a lot of opportunities, you still have to fight for the Five Thearch Treasure no matter what. According to what they said, there are still five months left. We can't be anxious."
"That makes sense." Long Chen's belief couldn't be defeated just because of this.
"Right, you know who they are, right?" Kitten asked.
"I don't know. I'm waiting for you to answer me."
Long Chen said with a smile. Although the pressure was great, he had experienced all kinds of pressure. Compared to the pressure at the end, this should be nothing.
Kitten put on a scary expression and said nervously, "To tell you the truth, they are demons from the Desolate Imperial Domain. They are also the descendants of the demon race that killed the Five Thearchs in the Middle Ages … Don't think that they are humans. In fact, they are all demonic beasts. They are very powerful demonic beasts among the Emperor Realm. Even if they transform into human form, they are not much different from a real human …"
Six super demonic beasts, no, it should be the demon race.
"So it's them …" Long Chen finally understood. Everything made sense now. It turned out that the descendants of these demonic beasts coveted the treasures left behind by the Five Thearchs. That's why they designed this game in the Ancient Graveyard to make the experts of the Myriad Kingdoms Domain come here to search for the treasures.
It was all for the people of the Myriad Kingdoms Domain to take out the treasures, while they reap the benefits in the end. If this matter were to spread out, those who coveted the treasures of the Five Thearchs would definitely be scared out of their wits. Bai Lan and the others probably wouldn't enter the Five Thearchs Secret Realm anymore.
However, Long Chen thought of another side.
"If I leak this information out and cause panic among the people, no one will dare to go to the Five Thearchs Secret Realm. I'm afraid that the demon race will kill everyone in the Ancient Graveyard in a fit of anger because of the failure of their plan."
This was a big matter. He definitely couldn't act recklessly.
"I can't leak it out for the time being. There are still five months left. I'll see what happens then. The Divine Wind Faction and the Five Element Alliance have nothing to do with me. However, I owe Bai Lan and Lei Ji a favor. When the time comes, I'll secretly inform them so that they can be mentally prepared."
"Don't worry too much."
Kitten said cautiously, "Since the seniors of the Myriad Kingdoms Domain have set a limit on their treasures, they might have already guessed the current situation. If you can obtain the treasures of the Five Thearchs, you might be able to leave safely. They won't let their treasures be taken away by others for nothing."
Long Chen thought about it carefully. It seemed that Kitten's words made sense, so he nodded.
"I'll put this matter to heart for now. I heard from Suxue that the Metal Spirit is quite strong. I can't be careless when dealing with him tomorrow."
Time passed in the blink of an eye as he silently cultivated. Soon, the sun rose again the next day.
At first, no one came to disturb Long Chen. When it was almost noon, Bai Lan and the others were ready and came to Long Chen. After saying a few words, they headed in the direction of Mi Cheng.
"Are you ready?" Bai Lan asked.
"I'll definitely succeed." Long Chen smiled confidently.
"That's good. It's all up to you today."
Among the group, the one who was the most confident was Long Chen himself. As for the others, they were a little worried about Long Chen's battle. After all, the Metal Spirit was famous for being a martial arts fanatic. He had never tasted defeat from beginning to end.
For Long Chen to encounter him in his first battle, it could only be said that he was a little unlucky.
The Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Clans was the grandest competition in the Myriad Kingdoms Domain. Although it was held in the Ancient Cemetery this time, there weren't many spectators. However, the people from the three major forces were also quite cautious. Before the time was up, the people from the three major forces had already gathered here.
Feng Liu had already been sent back to the Golden Colossal City to chat. Therefore, the Wind God's faction had lost a lot of people. As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes turn red. Long Chen once again shamelessly hurt Feng Zhilin. This caused Feng Zhilin's face to naturally show an extremely cold expression when she saw him. A dense killing intent spread out from her.
It was the same for Wu Guangyu. Compared to Feng Zhilin, Wu Guangyu was much more pampered. His mother was a supreme expert of the God Race. Hence, ever since he was young, he could do whatever he wanted. No one could control him. Of course, Wu Lian had strict requirements for his cultivation. Hence, in terms of cultivation, Wu Guangyu was still very strong. Ever since he started cultivating, Wu Guangyu had never tasted defeat.
Long Chen's domineering manner in dealing with Feng Zhilin made him feel fearful.
"In the end, if you can survive the test of the Metal Spirit, then I can teach you a good lesson. Of course, if you can't even pass the test of the Metal Spirit, then you are not qualified to be my opponent."
