At dawn the next day, Su Xuan, Mu Chen, and the others left White Dragon City and made a beeline for the White Dragon Hillock. Although White Dragon City was the largest city near the White Dragon Hillock, there was still a considerable distance between the two in order to avoid being harassed by the spirit beasts in the White Dragon Hillock. Hence, Mu Chen and the others had to set off as soon as possible.
As they left White Dragon City and made their way to the White Dragon Hillock, they finally realized just how great of an impact the news of the Sovereign Spirit Treasury had brought.
The main road leading to the White Dragon Hillock was practically occupied by a majestic group of people. Even the sky was filled with numerous figures flashing past from time to time. They were also heading in the direction of the White Dragon Hillock.
Mu Chen and the others felt a little helpless when they saw this scene. They originally thought it would be a peaceful treasure hunt, but who would've thought that it would cause such a huge commotion.
Su Xuan softly said, "Let's hurry up and get to the White Dragon Hillock before it gets dark and find a place to stay. Otherwise, it'll be extremely easy for us to attract the attention of spirit beasts if we recklessly wander around the White Dragon Hillock at night."
Mu Chen and the others nodded their heads. Soon after, they made their move and sped across the sky.
As they made their way to the White Dragon Hillock, they didn't notice a few cold gazes locked onto them from far behind.
Mu Chen and the others didn't take a single break along the way. Hence, they saw the edge of the White Dragon Hillock before dusk arrived.
It was a mountain range with undulating undulations that stretched as far as the eye could see. Towering peaks towered into the sky, piercing through the clouds.
Clouds swirled in the sky, and from time to time, startling beast roars could be heard.
Countless experts stirred the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
However, even such a majestic mountain range couldn't conceal the tragic aura that rose from the earth. It was the remnants of an earth-shattering battle that had taken place here hundreds of years ago.
Countless experts had perished here, reduced to piles of bones.
"As expected of the place where a Supreme-Being had once fallen."
Mu Chen and the others stood on a distant mountain peak, gazing at the bitter aura rippling within the White Dragon Hillock.
"The location of the Spirit Treasury just so happens to be the deepest part of the White Dragon Hillock. That place is filled with spirit beasts, and there are even quite a few Heaven Rank spirit beasts.
We also have to keep an eye out for other adventurer teams that come to White Dragon Hillock.
These people were not easy to deal with.
Moreover, they are vicious and merciless. If we really violate their interests, they won't care where we come from.
As long as there are benefits, I won't show any mercy. "Su Xuan stared at the White Dragon Hillock.
This wasn't a good place to be.
"That's why, when we enter the White Dragon Hillock, everyone must work together. You're not allowed to act on your own." As Su Xuan spoke, she looked at Su Ling 'er and glared at her. "Do you understand?"
Su Ling 'er pursed her lips. Was he specifically targeting her?
Was she that unreliable?
When the other three saw this, they could not help but laugh.
"Let's go. Prepare to find a safe place to stay in the White Dragon Hillock."
Su Xuan waved her hand and took the lead. She flew towards the White Dragon Hillock, which was filled with baleful aura. Behind her, Mu Chen and the other three immediately followed.
As they entered the White Dragon Hillock, they immediately felt a faint chill envelop them. This was caused by the baleful aura in the White Dragon Hillock. If the baleful aura entered their bodies, it would corrode them. Therefore, most people who entered this place would circulate their Spiritual Energy at all times to expel the baleful aura that had entered their bodies.
Mu Chen's team quickly passed through the White Dragon Hillock. Along the way, they encountered quite a few adventurer teams. These adventurer teams often licked blood from the edge of their blades. When they saw Mu Chen's team, their eyes immediately lit up. Their gazes couldn't help but wander over Su Xuan, Su Ling 'er, and Li Qing's bodies.
These people had never seen such beautiful girls before. Now that they saw them, they naturally felt their hearts itch.
However, although their hearts itched, these adventurer teams were not blind. Especially the leaders of their teams. Their eyes were filled with vigilance and fear as they stared at Su Xuan's group. They sternly warned their team members to keep their eyes open and not offend troublesome people.
Because of this, although Su Xuan's group attracted a bit of attention, they did not run into any trouble. Add to that the fact that they were still in the outskirts of the White Dragon Hillock, and there were very few powerful spiritual beasts around. Therefore, by the time the sky darkened, they had already found a place to rest.
A small campsite was set up in a spacious and remote forest. A bonfire rose, its faint light dispelling the darkness.
"We'll let Guo Xiong keep watch tonight. But remember, don't let your guard down. In a place like this, any kind of danger can appear." Su Xuan said with a faint smile as the firelight illuminated her gentle and beautiful face.
Mu Chen and the others nodded. On the way here, they'd already seen quite a few adventurer teams that weren't weak. Although their peak strength couldn't compare to theirs, they had the advantage in numbers. Moreover, every one of them was a ruthless character who lived on the edge of a blade. If there was a conflict, it would be a rather troublesome matter.
After Su Xuan gave her instructions, she led Su Ling 'er into the tent. Mu Chen and Guo Xiong conversed briefly before returning to the tent. He continued to study the "Spirit Array Seed" he'd obtained yesterday. After a night's worth of research, he had a vague idea of the Spirit Array Seed's inscribed Spirit Array Seed. Given a little more time, he should be able to control the method to activate the Spirit Array Seed.
As the bonfire rose, the small campsite gradually quieted down. Then, on a small hill some distance away, a group of black figures appeared like ghosts in the night.
At the very front was Bai Dong, dressed in white and somewhat conspicuous in the darkness. He looked in that direction with a sneer in his eyes, then said in a chilling tone, "Elder Qiu, are you ready?"
Behind him, the old man known as Elder Qiu replied in a hoarse voice, "Yes, we're ready."
"Then let's go. Act according to the plan. Remember, don't hurt my little beauties." Bai Dong licked his lips, his eyes blazing with desire.
"Yes!"
Behind Bai Dong.
The group of black figures immediately responded in a low voice. Soon after, there was the sound of rushing wind as they quietly swept out like ghosts in the night.
Bai Dong stood on the hill.
He looked in that direction with a chilling gaze and sneered, "Hokuang Reiwon. Hmph, this Demonic Dragon Guard killed Hokuang Reiwon's students.
There are already more than thirty of them, and it looks like we're going to lose a few more lives.
"Let's see how you'll escape this time!"
Within the quiet camp, Guo Xiong sat cross-legged, his vigilant gaze sweeping across the pitch-black forest from time to time. At this moment, a long black blade was tightly clenched in his hand as Spiritual Energy surged around him.
"Hm?"
All of a sudden.
Guo Xiong's eyes narrowed.
Dense spiritual power suddenly burst out from his body.
He clenched his hand, and the long black blade furiously chopped down, bringing with it a fierce blade light.
Clang!
The black blade light chopped down, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.
A long black spear was cleaved in two.
"Who?!"
Guo Xiong suddenly stood up and shouted at the depths of the dark forest.
At this moment, the flap of the tent was suddenly lifted.
Su Xuan, Li Qing, and Mu Chen quickly rushed out. They'd only entered a shallow state of cultivation, and were immediately roused when they heard the commotion outside.
"There's an attack! Be careful!" Guo Xiong warned the moment he saw Su Xuan and the others.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
However, just as his voice rang out, countless rays of sharp black light suddenly shot out from within the dark forest. Long spears that were suffused with a chilling glint, filled with vigorous Spiritual Energy, hid the skies and covered the earth as they shot towards the campsite.
"Hmph!"
A cold light flashed through Su Xuan's eyes. Her slender figure moved, and she flashed out. With a twirl of her jade-like hand, surging spiritual energy swept out and formed a Spiritual Energy vortex that was roughly a dozen feet in size.
Sizzle!
The black spears rushed into the Spiritual Energy vortex, and were instantly shattered.
"Who are you, sneaking around and not daring to show your face?!"
Su Xuan's beautiful eyes coldly stared at the depths of the dark forest. Her slender figure moved, and she turned into a streak of light as she shot forward. Spiritual energy tore through the darkness, and she ruthlessly bombarded it.
Bang!
Bang! Within the forest, waves of air rolled out, and patches of the forest were shattered. Su Xuan's slender figure moved, and she disappeared into the darkness. These rat-like fellows had to be dealt with. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace.
Mu Chen and the others watched as Su Xuan chased after her. They were all tightly guarding the campsite. With Su Xuan's Heavenly Transform Stage Middle Phase strength, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to harm her.
Boom!
Just as they were looking in that direction, several astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations suddenly soared into the sky. Among those Spiritual Energy fluctuations, there were actually two that had reached the Heavenly Transform Stage Initial Phase!
When they sensed those Spiritual Energy fluctuations, Mu Chen and the others' expressions changed slightly. Two Heavenly Transform Stage Initial Phase experts?
Just who was it that was attacking them, and they actually brought out such a lineup?!
"We have to go help her!"
Li Qing's charming face was covered in frost. She let out a low roar, and her slender figure burst forth. Guo Xiong quickly followed, and at the same time, he said to Mu Chen and Su Xuan, "You guys find a place to hide for now. We'll immediately return after dealing with those fellows!"
Swish!
As his voice faded, Guo Xiong and Li Qing's figures streaked through the Dark Forest, rushing towards the source of the Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
When Mu Chen saw this, he couldn't help but furrow his brows. Although their team didn't have many people, their strength was quite tyrannical. Just who dared to make a move against them?
Furthermore, from this lineup, the other party shouldn't be an ordinary force.
"Mu Chen, what should we do?" When Su Ling 'er saw Su Xuan and the others chasing after them, she hurriedly approached Mu Chen and whispered.
"Don't panic. Just wait for them to return. They shouldn't be chasing too far, so they'll be back soon," said Mu Chen.
Su Ling 'er nodded, but her small hand couldn't help but tug at the corner of Mu Chen's clothes. The White Dragon Hillock was filled with danger. When Su Xuan wasn't by her side, she could only rely on Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's body tensed up at all times. His sharp eyes stared at his surroundings, and the Spiritual Energy in his body circulated, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.
Whoosh!
Just as Mu Chen's gaze swept across the area, the sound of rushing wind suddenly rang out. A sharp gale tore through the air, bringing with it an ear-piercing sound.
Mu Chen's pupils shrank. He grabbed Su Ling 'er's slender waist, and the tip of his foot tapped the ground. His figure flew back dozens of feet.
Bang!
A black spear, as thick as an arm, fiercely shot into the ground where the two of them stood. It sank half a meter deep into the ground, trembling and emitting a buzzing sound.
Mu Chen looked at the black spear, which had sunk deep into the ground. His heart jumped, and he abruptly raised his head. He heard the faint sound of rushing wind, and four black figures appeared on top of a large tree in front of him. Four pairs of cold eyes, filled with killing intent, locked onto him.
"Four Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase?"
Mu Chen's gaze swept over the four black figures, and his heart trembled. Just what kind of force did they come from?
To think that they could bring out such a lineup to deal with them.
He looked in the direction that Su Xuan and the others had gone, and his heart couldn't help but sink. Was this a diversion?
The other party seemed to be coming for the two of them!
