Every few steps, Li Mo's group came across some underground caves.
Bursts of Spirit Qi came from the cave, and it was much thicker than the Spirit Qi flowing in the mountains.
Meng Lin introduced them to Li Mo.
"These caves are the entrances to the spirit vein. Currently, there are clansmen mining spirit stones from the spirit vein.
Moreover, the effect of cultivating in the spirit vein all year round was pretty good.
Back then, this old man slept in the spirit vein for ten years. "
With that, the group quickly reached the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain had been cleared to create a spacious area, and the people of Gedo Mountain Village had already arrived here.
Looking at the Gedo Mountain Stronghold's camp, there were more than two hundred of them.
The Gedo Mountain Stronghold's clansmen were about the same age as the Fallen Mountain Stronghold's clansmen.
Li Mo knew these people were stronger than the Falling Mountain Stronghold's men.
There were twice as many people, and their cultivation was a level higher.
Therefore, the morale of the Hillfall Mountain Stronghold immediately weakened.
Feeling the aura of the Geduo Mountain Stronghold's clansmen, the youths of the Dusk Mountain Stronghold all became even more dejected. They had no heart to fight.
From the looks of it, he had already lost before the competition had even begun.
Li Mo spotted Ge Fang and Ge Yuan among the Gedo Stronghold's crowd.
It was likely that these people had not returned to Gedo Mountain Village for the past few days and had been staying here the whole time.
Ge Yuan and the rest looked at Li Mo with pride in their eyes, as if saying, 'You're the best.
Stinking brat, your time of death has come!
Hahaha!
At this moment, everyone, including Ge Fang, was standing behind a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had a well-built body and was dignified even without being angry. He had the dignified air of someone in a high position.
Needless to say, Li Mo guessed this man was Gedo Stronghold's leader, Gron.
Ge Long's eyes narrowed when he saw Meng Lin.
"Menglin, I heard you've also entered the Earth Celestial Stage?
Congratulations. "
"Humph, don't talk behind my back!
All these years, they bullied us because we didn't have any powerhouses in the Earth Celestial Stage. How much territory did they take from us?
Congratulating me now?
I'm afraid that when I enter the Earth Immortal Stage, you won't be able to snatch the territory of the Daluo Mountain Stronghold. How will you scold me in your heart? "
Meng Lin snorted disdainfully. However, there were no spiritual veins in those lands.
That was why it was fine for the Gedo Mountain Gang to snatch it. At most, they could just snatch it back after Menglin's strength surpassed Gron's.
However, Golden Snake Mountain had a spirit vein, so Menglin could never give it to the Gedo Mountain Village.
"It's just the law of the jungle. We're not wrong."
Ge Long said calmly. He wasn't angered by Meng Lin's words.
"Humph!
Why are you so late? Are you afraid?
Stinking brat. "
Ge Fang stepped forward and scolded Li Mo.
Ge Fang still couldn't forget what happened three days ago.
At that time, everyone was at Sunset Mountain Camp, so they could still bear with it.
But now that they were here, and with the Patriarch around, Ge Fang wouldn't tolerate it anymore.
"Calm down."
Li Mo only rolled his eyes at Ge Fang's aggressiveness.
Seeing Ge Fang's ashen face, Li Mo grinned in a good mood.
"Brat …"
Screech!
Ge Fang wanted to scold Li Mo a few more times, but she didn't get to finish.
A roar could be heard from the distant horizon. Following that, a large bird that was about one or two people tall flew into the sky. Its entire body was green, and its head was covered in colorful feathers.
Li Mo had read many books in other tribes and recognized this bird at a glance.
Blue spiritual bird!
A mature blue spiritual bird had the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. A spiritual beast of this level could turn a part of its body into a human.
And this blue spiritual bird still had some time before it matured.
On top of the Cyan Spirit Bird stood a woman in a long green dress with a scholarly demeanor.
She had a noble bearing, snow-white skin, and a pair of spirited eyes that swept over the land below.
"Greetings, Eighth Elder!"
Seeing this woman, even the furious Ge Fang did not dare to act rashly.
Be it the Sunset Mountain Camp or Gedo Mountain Village, they all bowed.
Even Meng Lin and Gelong, who were at the Earth Celestial Stage, felt the same way, even though they were both at the Earth Celestial Stage.
But she was one of the eight grand elders of the Elder Council, and had Elder Li Renlong's cultivation method.
Be it in terms of status or power.
Meng Lin and Ge Long couldn't compare.
"En."
The elegant woman was Li Xue, the eighth elder of the Elder Council.
Looking at the clansmen below, Li Xue calmly nodded her head and uttered a single word.
The Jiuli stood up, Ge Yuan included.
The young men watched the woman in the sky with excitement, not even trying to hide their adoration.
Li Xue wasn't just a noble person, she was also powerful.
Her looks were one in a million. It was normal for these men to adore her.
"I didn't expect the eighth elder would be presiding over this competition. What rules does the eighth elder have for this competition?"
Gelong raised his head and asked Li Xue respectfully.
"You decide." Li Xue didn't elaborate, as if she had no interest in this competition.
"Alright, we will."
Gelong nodded. Then, he waved his hand, and ten youths from the Gedo Mountain Village stepped forward.
Among the ten young men, eight were men and two were women. Judging from their auras, they were all in the Core Formation Realm.
And among them, Li Mo saw a familiar face.
Ge Yuan. Ge Yuan was of the advanced stage of the completion level. Out of the group of 10, only a bald, burly man could compete with Ge Yuan.
Li Mo couldn't help but grin at this.
Li Mo had traveled for so many days with the hundred men from the Falling Mountain Stronghold. He had a good grasp of their strength.
Only two of them were in the Core Formation stage, while the rest were in the Spirit Channeling stage.
But the Gedo Mountain Gang had brought out ten of them at once.
And from the looks of it, there were quite a few in the Core Formation stage.
The two camps were neighbors, but their foundations were so different.
"It's simple. The Sunset Mountain Village can also choose ten youths to compete. Whoever wins the most wins wins.
Only the victorious side can possess the Golden Snake Mountain. "
Gelong grinned and said proudly.
"W-how are we supposed to compete?"
"Yeah, we won't even win!"
"…"
The Sunset Mountain Village's youths panicked at the sight of the Gedo Mountain Village's power.
Grumbling filled the air, and everyone looked at Li Mo with hostility.
'It's all because of you. Why do you have to compete?
Aren't you just asking us to get beat up? '
"Humph!"
Meng Lin snorted when he heard the voice behind him.
'I didn't care about you before, but look at the situation now. Do you want to lose face in front of the Gedo Mountain Village?'
