After many inquiries, the place where the ruins appeared should be in a mountain range a hundred thousand miles west of Oblivion City.
This mountain range was called the Death Mountain Range.
"Death Mountain Range?"
Oblivion City, inside the inn.
Meng Ta was a little surprised after hearing the news brought back by the secular disciples.
Before they came, they had a detailed understanding of the Cang Kingdom, so they knew about the Death Mountain Range.
"You're saying that the ruins might be in the Death Mountain Range?"
Meng Ta was puzzled.
"The last place where the disciples of our Heaven-Defying Alliance were last seen was in the Death Mountain Range. After that, their life slips shattered."
The secular disciple nodded.
If they didn't find something, why would they go to the Death Mountain Range for no reason?
One had to know that it was a forbidden area for humans.
Legend had it that during the Battle of the Ancient Gods, a terrifying stream of light fell from the sky and bombarded the Death Mountain Range, causing the Death Mountain Range to be formed.
Because this power contained an extremely strong water origin power, it caused the soil of the Death Mountain Range to mutate.
In fact, every inch of the soil contained a terrifying Golden Corrosive Water.
If a Saint King martial artist entered, they would be instantly corroded by the Golden Corrosive Water. Even a Saint King expert would find it difficult to resist the corrosion of the Golden Corrosive Water.
This was why Meng Ta was a little surprised when he heard about the Death Mountain Range.
"Alright, you can leave first."
Saint King Huo Cang, who had been silent all this time, said.
After the secular disciple left, Saint King Huo Cang looked at the others and asked, "What do you think?"
"The Death Mountain Range is a forbidden area for humans. Even if Saint Cangye's ruins are inside, how can we go in?"
The five of them hadn't reached the Saint King level, so they couldn't resist the Golden Corrosive Water.
Meng Ta shook his head.
On the side, Meng Sha rolled her eyes. "Think of a way to confirm if there really is Saint Cangye's ruins in the Death Mountain Range, and then confirm if the senior brothers died in the Death Mountain Range."
"Maybe the Cang King didn't do anything at all. They accidentally entered the Death Mountain Range and were corroded by the Golden Corrosive Water."
Bai Yang said coldly.
"That's right, I agree. Maybe the Cang King doesn't even know where the ruins are." Meng Ta and Meng Sha nodded, agreeing with Bai Yang.
Saint King Huo Cang turned his head and looked at Fang Chen.
"Before my senior brothers died, they didn't even have the time to send a message. If they died from the Metal Corroding Water, they should have had the time to send a message, right?"
Fang Chen shrugged, "Is it possible that Lord Cang knew about our Heaven Defying Alliance's operation and lured our senior brothers to the Death Mountain Range, and then secretly killed them?"
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the others' expressions changed slightly.
"You mean?
Did the Cang Emperor use the Corrosive Metal Water to kill our Heaven-Defying Alliance's disciples? "Meng Ta asked.
Fang Chen stood up and said slowly.
"Our Heaven Defying Alliance is a top force in the Godsfall Battlefield. A mere Cang Kingdom naturally wouldn't dare to openly attack our disciples."
"But you also said that the Azure Emperor's cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and he urgently needs heavenly treasures.
Furthermore, Saint Cangye was most likely the ancestor of Lord Cang.
Based on the above, the Cang Emperor must be searching for the ruins as well. He would never allow anyone else to get involved. "
"Not even the Heaven Defying Alliance."
Using the Corrosive Metal Water to kill the Heaven-Defying Alliance's disciples, even if the Heaven-Defying Alliance investigated, they wouldn't find any evidence.
"If what Junior Brother Fang said is true, then the appearance of the Cangye Ruins in the Death Mountain Range is most likely a scam." Huo Cang analyzed.
A scam, a scam targeted at the Heaven-Defying Alliance's disciples!
"But isn't the Cang Emperor afraid of inviting trouble?" Meng Sha asked.
"This is the purpose of our trip. Aside from exploring the ruins, the other mission is to confirm whether our senior brothers died in the hands of the Cang Kingdom."
Huo Cang's tone was heavy.
No matter what, the trip to the Death Mountain Range was unavoidable.
"We'll rest for three days, then go to the Death Mountain Range to investigate."
Huo Cang made his decision.
… …
Oblivious City, City Lord Mansion.
"Lord Imperial Tutor, why are you here?"
The Oblivious City Lord greeted the Imperial Tutor with a smile and invited him into the meeting hall.
At the same time, he waved his hand and dismissed the servants, leaving only him and the Imperial Tutor.
"I'm here this time for an important matter …"
The Imperial Tutor told the Oblivious City Lord the plan in detail.
The latter's expression changed when he heard the news.
After all, they were hunting down the disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance. Once the matter was exposed, they would die without a doubt.
"Lord Imperial Tutor …"
The Oblivious City Lord was a little afraid.
"Don't be afraid. Just do as I say."
The Oblivious City Lord was perturbed. In the end, he nodded and hurriedly left to arrange the mission.
The next day, the disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance found Huo Cang and the others again.
He told them the news he had heard.
"What?
Someone accidentally entered the Death Mountain Range and found the Cangye Ruins? "
Meng Ta stood up with a start. He was very surprised.
Huo Cang frowned and pondered, while Meng Sha asked curiously.
Fang Chen and Bai Yang were silent, as if they were thinking about something.
"That's right. The news came from the Oblivious Chamber of Commerce. It's said that two Third Level Holy Kings accidentally entered the Death Mountain Range and found the Cangye Ruins. One of them died on the spot from the Corrosive Gold Water, while the other abandoned an arm and dragged his heavily injured body to escape."
The news came from the man with the severed arm.
"It seems that the Cangye Ruins are really in the Death Mountain Range."
Huo Cang stood up and glanced at the four of them. "Get ready. We'll set off now."
…
Oblivious City, City Lord Mansion.
"Lord Imperial Tutor, the five disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance have already left Oblivious City. They should be heading to the Death Mountain Range," the Oblivious City Lord reported.
The Imperial Tutor sat on the armchair, resting with his eyes closed.
Everything was within his expectations.
"The Death Mountain Range will be their burial ground," the Imperial Tutor said coldly.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too nosy."
The five of them rode on the Breeze Eagle, and the journey was unimpeded.
A few days later, they arrived at the edge of the Death Mountain Range.
"Is that the Death Mountain Range?"
Meng Sha cried out in surprise. As she gazed over, the area ahead was covered in a dusky expanse, and it gave one the feeling of a magnificent fairyland.
"Let's go."
Huo Cang jumped off the Breeze Eagle and approached the Death Mountain Range.
Buzz!
The closer they got, the more they could feel the terrifying aura coming from the Death Mountain Range.
Huo Cang looked down. The ground under his feet was shrouded in mist, forming a fierce conflict with the flame runes on the surface of his skin.
Hiss! Hiss!
He couldn't help but take a few steps back, his face aghast.
"It is said that the Gold Corroding Water covers the entire Death Mountain Range. Once you enter it, you will be corroded."
Huo Cang took a deep breath and stabilized his body. "I have five talismans in my hand that can resist the corrosion of the Gold Corroding Water for a short period of time, but it won't last for long."
"Once the talisman's power is exhausted, you must immediately withdraw."
Huo Cang took out five benefits from his bosom and distributed them to the other four.
This was a talisman that contained the origin of fire. After it was activated, it would release the origin of fire and form an origin armor to resist the Gold Corroding Water.
In the distant horizon.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Dark clouds covered the clear sky, and it suddenly became dark.
Numerous black shadows quickly traversed through the gloomy sky.
"Hehe, what a bunch of idiots."
The leader wore a black mask and black armor, and his body emitted a terrifying fiendish aura.
He stood on a cloud and looked up, and saw Fang Chen and the other four.
"In a while, directly attack and kill them, then drain their blood and throw their corpses into the Death Mountain Range." The masked man ordered.
Boom!
Fang Chen and the other four were discussing the matter of entering the Death Mountain Range.
All of a sudden, they felt a terrifying aura coming towards them. Their expressions changed drastically.
"Not good."
Fang Chen cried out, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Scam …"
He remembered something that he had guessed before.
"Cang Emperor?"
Huo Cang stared angrily at the black shadow that was shooting over.
"Kill."
The masked man roared and slapped out. Suddenly, the void shattered, and a terrifying palm print shot toward Fang Chen and the others.
"Scram."
Huo Cang was furious, and he faced the attack head-on and punched the palm print.
Crack!
With almost no power to resist, Huo Cang Saint King was directly sent flying.
With a bang, his body smashed onto the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Saint Emperor …"
Meng Ta exclaimed, feeling fear.
"How is this possible?
When did the Cang Empire have so many Saint Emperors? "
Meng Sha couldn't believe it.
In just one exchange, the strongest Huo Cang was seriously injured, and Fang Chen and the others were in danger.
"Hmph, what bullshit Heaven Defying Alliance disciples?"
The masked man sneered.
"Trash like you are worthy of us personally taking action?"
"Who are you?
How dare you plot against us Heaven Defying Alliance disciples?
Aren't you afraid of Heaven Defying Alliance's revenge? "
The burly Meng Ta stood out and questioned.
"Stupid. Since we dared to deal with you, we have a foolproof plan. Now you want to scare us with Heaven Defying Alliance?"
The masked man flipped his hand and slapped Meng Ta away.
"Attack together, let's end this quickly."
As soon as the masked man's voice fell, countless black shadows attacked.
"Too strong, I can't resist at all."
Fang Chen thought.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a black shadow quickly approached him. Without thinking, Fang Chen directly swung his sword and forced the black shadow back.
At the same time, his body was also retreating.
In a flash, Meng Ta and the other two were repelled.
They kept retreating and came to the entrance of the Death Mountain Range.
From behind, they could feel the terrifying corrosive power of the Golden Corrosive Water, and in front of them, there was a Saint Emperor level enemy.
"What should we do?
We are no match for them at all. "
Meng Ta said anxiously.
The Cang Empire came prepared and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Escape into the Death Mountain Range."
Bai Yang, who had been silent, spoke.
His eyes were filled with madness.
They looked at each other, nodded, and then moved together into the Death Mountain Range.
"Courting death."
