There were more than ten people in that group and three of them were standing at the front.
When they saw the three of them, many experts slowly descended from the sky. They no longer looked at the banner as if they had given up on fighting for it.
Even Meng Zhan, who had an oppressive aura, chose to remain silent at this moment and retracted his aura into his body.
The one on the left was a lady. She wore blue heavy armor and carried a long spear on her back. She emitted an iron-blooded aura that gave people a feeling of ferocity and arrogance. She wasn't any weaker than Meng Zhan.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ye Chen wouldn't have believed that a lady could emit such an aura.
The person in the middle was an old man in his sixties. He wore a simple white robe, and his hands were behind his back. His eyes were clear, and there was a faint smile on his face. He had a calm, calm, and extremely peaceful aura.
As for the last person, she wore an azure dress. She had a beautiful face and looked like a blooming daisy in spring. She was a rarely seen peerless beauty.
When Ye Chen saw the lady, his eyes narrowed. That person was Yu Wanqing.
"It's been a long time since we last met. You're still as stupid as ever. How disappointing." The heroic lady looked at Meng Zhan and mocked him.
"Yu Ziyan, what do you mean by that?"
Meng Zhan's expression was ice-cold as he glared at the figure in the sky. The two mocking words had come from the mouth of the heroic lady.
"The Ghost Banner Saint King was sinister and vicious by nature. His hands were stained with the blood of countless people. After he died, how could he be so generous as to leave his banner behind? This banner doesn't have a weapon spirit, it's merely a killing tool created using evil techniques."
Yu Ziyan frowned and said in a mocking tone. "You people are killing each other for a killing tool. Don't you think that's stupid?"
Hearing this, the crowd's faces were all shocked and became incomparably ugly.
After Yu Ziyan said that, the crowd also felt that it was strange. The Ghost Banner was a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure but it didn't have the slightest bit of Grandmist Spiritual Treasure's aura.
As for the Artifact Spirit's whereabouts and aura, he couldn't detect it at all!
It turned out that the Ghost Banner was not a Spirit Treasure, but the condensation of an evil technique.
This was a trap set up by the Ghost Banner Saint King. He wanted everyone to kill each other so that they would all be buried in the Underworld Palace. It was such a sinister scheme.
"What a pity." Ye Chen, who was in the crowd below, inwardly sighed after hearing Ziyan's words.
Actually, he had noticed this the moment he saw the ghost pennant, but he didn't point it out.
First of all, when he sneaked into the Xu Ling Formation, he had to use the Ghost Pennant to lure everyone out and provide him with enough time and opportunity.
Furthermore, he wanted to use this ghost banner to make these clans fight with each other and weaken each other's power.
Now that Yu Ziyan had directly revealed the truth, the crowd naturally wouldn't continue fighting. This was truly a pity.
"The battle between the clans is about to begin. Almost all the clans are in a state of hostility. Why did Yu Ziyan reveal the truth and stop these people from fighting each other?" Suddenly, the voice of the god resounded in Ye Chen's mind.
Just as the voice finished speaking, the space in front of him started to wantonly churn and faintly formed two large vortexes.
Within the vortexes, two figures slowly appeared.
One of them was wearing a black and white robe. He was filled with an evil aura, but his face was somewhat pale. It seemed that he had suffered a serious injury.
The other person was a purple-clothed old man. He didn't smile and gave off a dignified feeling.
The former was the patriarch of the Meng Clan, Meng Tianzheng. The latter was naturally the ancestor of the Lin Clan, Yama Lin.
The appearance of the two Time Condensation Realm experts caused the chaotic space to become deathly silent. Even the Truth realm experts who were searching for treasures in the Underworld Palace were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground. They didn't even dare to look at them.
"After spying in the dark for so long, the two of you finally came out."
The white-clothed old man beside Yu Ziyan finally spoke. His body actually emitted the aura of a Time Condensation Realm expert, suppressing the entire space.
Seeing this scene, the doubts in Ye Chen's heart immediately disappeared.
No wonder Yu Ziyan had to reveal the truth at this juncture. It turned out that before they arrived, Meng Tianzheng and Yama Lin had already arrived at Iron Blue Mountain Range and were also spying in the dark.
With the suppression of these two Time Condensation Realm experts, the experts of the Meng Clan and Lin Clan would definitely not suffer any losses. On the contrary, the other clans would successively lose experts one after another.
"What a sinister old man."
Ye Chen secretly said in his heart. They knew that the ghost banner was an evil item, but they didn't say anything. They just wanted the other clans to continuously lose experts. It was no different from using a borrowed knife to kill people.
The experts of the other clans in the void also realized this point. Their eyes were filled with coldness as they looked at the two experts.
"The appearance of the Ghost Palace attracted the nine peerless dragon shadows. Naturally, I have to come out to investigate. I don't quite understand what you said just now."
Yama Lin said with a fake smile. He turned around, ignoring the disdainful gazes of the crowd, and left directly.
Meng Tianzheng's expression turned grave as he raised his head to look at Yama Lin's back. Yama Lin's shirking of responsibility had instead made the Meng Clan the target of public criticism.
"What a cunning thing." Meng Tianzheng said in a low voice. He turned his head to Meng Zhan and said, "Zhan 'er, leave this place."
"Yes, father!"
Meng Zhan nodded heavily. He kept his heavy hammer and immediately returned to Meng Tianzheng's side. He led the experts of the Meng Clan and instantly left Iron Blue Mountain Range.
"Meng Tianzheng is severely injured. This is a great opportunity for us to strike. Isn't it a little reckless to let them go just like that?" Yu Ziyan whispered to the white-robed elder when she saw the experts of the Meng Clan leave.
"The Demonic Seed in the Heart and the Demonic Cultivation Technique are two great techniques. Unless we have absolute confidence in killing Meng Tianzheng, we cannot act rashly. Otherwise, we will only benefit others."
The white-robed elder said in a low voice. He glanced at the ruins of the Ghost Palace and sighed. "Let's go. There is no need to stay here any longer."
"Mm."
Yu Ziyan's face revealed a look of understanding. Then, the three of them cut through the void and immediately disappeared, leaving behind the fearful crowd.
"Even the three great clans have given up on fighting for it. It seems like there are no treasures left behind in the Ghost Palace." The crowd looked at the night sky that was gradually returning to calmness and no longer had the intention to fight.
Soon, the battle between the clans would begin. During this period of time, almost all the clans were frantically searching for treasures or recruiting guests to strengthen their strength. The same went for the three great clans.
Faced with the Ghost Palace in front of them, the three of them had chosen to leave and did not continue to stay. This meant that the Ghost Palace was not only worthless. Forcefully investigating it would even cause casualties. It was not worth it.
However, even so, there were still some experts who stayed behind and carefully investigated the Ghost Palace.
Naturally, Lin Aoyu was among these people.
