The battle between the Celestial Demon Rat King and the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder had come to an end. The former had also fled far away. Neither of them had gotten what they wanted.
As for the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder, he suspected that Fang Chen was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He wanted to quickly leave the mountain range and return to Mystery Dragon City.
However, at the edge of the mountain range, he encountered a large-scale encirclement. The leader was the Reverent King.
He was the strongest person in his country. In order to obtain the treasure, he did not hesitate to encircle the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder. Of course, he would not let anyone in the mountain range go.
"Reverent King, are you crazy?"
The Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder sensed that the surrounding space had been sealed. His communication jade pendant had also stopped working. His expression changed greatly as he shouted.
"Hand over the treasure. Otherwise, no one will be able to leave this mountain range," the Reverent King said coldly.
"Humph, you dare to attack the Great Snow Mountain? You're courting death."
With that, the Great Snowy Mountain's Fifth Elder struck out like lightning, clashing fiercely with the Reverent King's large army. The Reverent King naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. He was well aware of the Great Snowy Mountain's Fifth Elder's strength, so he personally took action to pin him down.
The battle grew more and more intense, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had gone by. The Reverent King was now displaying an extraordinary level of power. With a boom, the Great Snow Mountain's fifth elder was finally unable to withstand the Reverent King's attack, and was forced back.
Deng Deng Deng!
After he stabilized himself, he realized that the Reverent King, whom they had ignored, had been hiding his strength all along. At the critical moment, he erupted with his true strength, causing the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder to tremble in fear.
"You … were hiding your strength?" The Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder's face was ferocious.
"Hand over the treasure or die."
The Reverent King did not want to get entangled with the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder. He had already received news that the Celestial Demon Rat King was trying to break out from another direction. Now that it was being held back by the death warriors he had secretly trained, he had to deal with the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder as quickly as possible and then rush over to support the death warriors.
Whether it was the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder or the Celestial Demon Rat King, they could all be carrying treasures. He would rather kill a thousand innocents than let one of them go free.
The Reverent King had been waiting patiently for countless years, all for this moment. He had even risked offending the Great Snow Mountain to get his hands on the treasure. Otherwise, all his efforts would have been for naught.
"You are courting death."
The Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder raised his head to the sky and let out a long howl of rage. He once again engaged in a fierce battle with the Reverent King.
…
However, as the main character, Fang Chen, although he had predicted that a great battle would break out in the mountains, he hadn't expected that the Reverent King would be the one who had the last laugh.
Sha sha sha!
Ye Futian did not care about any of this. He had already left Mystery Dragon City and was heading towards the region where the Taixuan Sect was located.
Of course, on the way to the Supreme Mystery Sect, he was also refining the Supreme Being's Finger Bone.
Hiss hiss hiss!
In a certain canyon, Fang Chen had been hurrying for more than ten days. Today, he had gained some enlightenment, and found this canyon. He hid himself there, preparing to seriously comprehend the Paragon Finger Bone.
However.
When he fully immersed himself in the Supreme Finger Bone, he discovered that his Dao Manifestation level Primordial Spirit was actually unable to penetrate the core of the Supreme Finger Bone.
Within the Supreme Finger Bone, there was a protective layer. After passing through the protective layer, Fang Chen discovered that there was a layer of golden seal. Although he wasn't sure what was inside, his intuition told him that the core of the Supreme Finger Bone was behind the golden seal.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen took a deep breath as he increased the strength of his Dao Manifestation Primordial Spirit. Terrifying Soul Dao energy continuously gathered in his mind. Finally, under his control, it condensed into a thick pillar of light that flew out from his head and frantically poured into the Sovereign Finger Bone.
Buzz!
When the thick beam of Soul Dao energy entered the Supreme Finger Bone, Fang Chen was shocked to discover that the bone emitted a Paragon's aura.
Boom boom boom!
This Paragon's aura made him feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, with the protection of his Dao Manifestation level Primordial Spirit, the Paragon's aura was greatly weakened.
Just like that, Fang Chen fell into an endless state of comprehension.
He was completely unaware that the battle in the mountain range not far from Mystic Dragon City had already ended. It ended with the tragic death of the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder.
It had to be said that the Reverent King was an extremely dangerous person. In the past, no one in the Great Snow Mountain cared about the Reverent King. They all thought that the Reverent King posed no threat.
In fact, the Reverent King had repeatedly lost to some old monsters who had been famous for a long time. His strength was greatly doubted.
However, the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder only found out before his death that the Reverent King was the one who had concealed his strength the most. The Reverent King's strength was much stronger than his. Even when he used the Great Snow Mountain's ultimate technique, he still couldn't contend against the Reverent King. In the end, he could only die tragically.
After killing the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder, the Reverent King was also injured. He hurriedly checked the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder's body. In the end, he didn't find anything. Then, he gritted his teeth and rushed to the next battlefield.
A few days later.
News spread that the Celestial Demonic Rat King was surrounded by mysterious experts and died tragically.
When the news spread, the entire Mystic Dragon City was in an uproar. Countless people were guessing who killed the Celestial Demonic Rat King. He was a super expert known as the Thief Sage.
In terms of escaping ability, if the Celestial Demonic Rat King claimed to be second, no one in this area would dare to claim to be first.
Even the Celestial Demonic Rat King couldn't escape and died tragically. How powerful was the person who killed him?
Because the news was sealed, and the Reverent King's team had already gone into hiding. The Reverent King even created a false impression that he was still in Mystic Dragon City. Therefore, no one suspected him.
However, everyone vaguely felt that the sky had changed.
"Damn it."
The Reverent King smashed a small hill in front of him with his palm. He was furious.
The Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder didn't have the treasure from the auction. The Celestial Demonic Rat King didn't have it either.
Then, where did the treasure go?
"Could it be that the guy didn't give the treasure to the Scholar, the chief disciple of the Taixuan Sect?"
Thinking of this, the Reverent King ordered the spies in Mystic Dragon City to search for Fang Chen's whereabouts. At the same time, he also ordered others to track the Scholar's whereabouts.
Because, at the place where the Celestial Demonic Rat King and the Great Snow Mountain's Fifth Elder fought, he didn't find the Scholar's corpse. There were only the corpses of some strangers.
This meant that the Scholar was still alive.
"Humph, I'd like to see how you can escape from my hands."
The Reverent King snorted and said disdainfully.
He had been hiding for so long. Since he had exposed his strength, he naturally had to gain something. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of his long hibernation?
A storm was brewing, and undercurrents were surging.
The people in Mystic Dragon City also felt that something was wrong. The Mystic Dragon Pavilion Master even ordered the Mystic Dragon Pavilion to close for a period of time.
No one knew what would happen next.
