"Mm." Jueyin nodded and said, "That's right. As long as we break through the Void-Viewing Three Realms, aside from those old fellows who ignore worldly affairs, no one is our match."
The Jueyang Brothers came to dominate the Killing Fields.
In a patch of white clouds, a shadow streaked across the sky with a grim expression; it was Li Yuanba. He murmured, "That Fire Essence is unattainable now, but I do have a slight chance to obtain this Nedan." With that, he suddenly increased his speed and headed toward the Transverse Mountain Range.
At the same time, Wang Yi and Lian Bi also arrived at the Transverse Mountain Range three days later. They gazed into the distance, both showing a hint of astonishment on their faces.
They saw a long rainbow arching through the sky, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, falling into the Transverse Mountain Range. On the ground, numerous martial artists rode horses and galloped, their shouts echoing endlessly, densely packed like swarming ants.
"It seems that the tomb of the Void-Viewing Three Realms has attracted almost all the martial artists from the Killing Fields. I wonder how many of them will be able to walk out alive," Wang Yi sighed softly and said slowly.
"Young Master, the allure of the Void-Viewing Three Realms is simply too great. In my Song Kingdom, which has been independent for seven hundred years, there has never been a strong figure from the Void-Viewing Three Realms. Even Transcendent Realm Experts are few and far between, so this scene is not unexpected," Lian Bi replied.
"In just three days, over a hundred thousand martial artists have been drawn here. If we wait a few more days, who knows what kind of scene it will be," Wang Yi said solemnly.
"Young Master, should we go in now?" Lian Bi respectfully asked. Although he was eager to enter, times had changed; he was now Wang Yi's servant.
"Let's go." Wang Yi remained silent for a moment. Wealth and danger go hand in hand; this Nedan was crucial for his future breakthrough into the Void-Viewing Three Realms. Even knowing the dangers within, he had to enter.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The long rainbow broke through the air like two bolts of lightning and instantly landed on the outskirts of the Transverse Mountain Range.
The Transverse Mountain Range was not large, only about a thousand units in circumference. Whether it was fierce beasts or spiritual herbs, they were scarce. Therefore, usually very few people ventured here. Walking through it felt vast and empty; however, today was different. Everywhere they looked were figures—ranging from Transcendent Realm Experts to herb gatherers, from three major kings to street thugs—people from all walks of life gathered in the Transverse Mountain Range; it truly was a gathering of heroes.
On the ground, fierce beast corpses were scattered everywhere, bloodstained and emitting a faint smell of blood that did not feel pungent but instead excited everyone.
It was a peculiar sensation.
Roar!
Occasionally, one could hear the mournful cries of fierce beasts.
"Hey hey, this time I'm not here to hunt beasts, but making a quick profit wouldn't be bad either."
A burly man swiftly struck down a fierce tiger, casually placing the tiger's corpse into his Storage Bag. He turned around and grinned at Wang Yi, but suddenly felt a chilling aura enveloping him. Looking at the figure in a black robe, Lian Bi, a deep sense of dread flashed in his eyes. Even with his Breakthrough cultivation, he sensed that this black-robed person was not to be trifled with. So he immediately turned and walked away without looking back.
"Young Master, should I kill him?" Lian Bi asked expressionlessly, as if taking a life was no more significant than cutting a straw.
"No need," Wang Yi replied.
Lian Bi nodded slightly.
At that moment, a whoosh sounded from above.
"Is it him?" Wang Yi looked up, and the person was indeed Li Yuanba, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
Although Lian Bi was puzzled, he did not ask further.
The two walked quietly through the Transverse Mountain Range. Wang Yi found it quite strange that they encountered no one along the way who sought to kill for treasure. A bitter smile appeared on his lips; there were so many treasures in the Void-Viewing Three Realms' stronghold that even obtaining one could be worth several hundred thousand Yuan Stones. While killing for treasure might provide immediate results, it paled in comparison to what lay ahead.
"The entrance to the tomb is just ahead."
At that moment, an excited shout came from the front.
Before the voice fell, a commotion erupted in the Deep Forest.
"The entrance has appeared! Let's hurry; if we delay, others will take the treasures."
"That's right! Although we don't seek the legendary Nedan this time, elixirs and Yuan Stones are definitely necessary."
"Hahaha! If I make a fortune this time, I'll keep ten or eight beauties and enjoy myself every night."
"Everyone in front, get out of my way! Those who block me will die!"
A burly man brushed past Wang Yi like a leopard.
Wang Yi shook his head.
At the moment he shook his head, a hissing sound was heard, and a streak of black light pierced into his back, going straight through. With wide eyes and a look of disbelief, he died without ever understanding how he had met his end.
"This person offended the young master; please forgive him," Lian Bi said respectfully.
"Let's go." Wang Yi glanced at the corpse beneath his feet and shook his head.
Although treasures are good, without strength, they are merely adding fertilizer to the land.
Everyone present revealed deep apprehension at this scene. A second-tier Breakthrough expert was killed with a single move; it was truly terrifying and not to be provoked.
Wang Yi, who witnessed all of this, flashed a cold smile. The reason he did not stop Lian Bi from killing that man was to establish authority. In this mixed environment of snakes and dragons, if one does not have sufficient strength as assurance, even if you do not actively seek trouble, trouble will still find you.
Lian Bi seemed to understand Wang Yi's reason for not stopping him from killing that man, his pupils constricting slightly.
Before long, a large mountain peak appeared before the two. The peak towered into the clouds, with steep cliffs and countless strange formations. At the foot of the mountain lay a vast open area filled with countless martial artists, densely packed like ants. The sounds of conversation, noise, and shouting blended together to create a symphony of death.
Wang Yi shook his head; perhaps these people were alive today, but those who could truly walk out would be few and far between.
"Bastard! Get the hell out of my way; let me go in first!" came a shout from the crowd.
"Dammit! Dare to oppose Blazing Gate? Brothers, take him down!"
Before the voice fell, a cloud of Blood Mist rose up, turning into a pile of minced meat. No one noticed that this strange blood energy merged into the ground.
"Hmph, Blazing Gate goes in first," said a middle-aged man in a long robe fiercely.
With a wave of his hand, he led hundreds of people into the cave.
“Get lost, all of you!”
Suddenly, a mass of black mist swept in from the air, transforming into a gaunt old man dressed in a black robe.
“It’s Gui Daozi! That old guy kills without blinking; we need to get out of here.”
“Isn’t that old guy supposed to be in seclusion? Why is he here?”
“Hehe, Gui Daozi has been stuck at the Transcendence Realm Ninth Level for decades. He doesn’t have much time left, and now that the tomb of a Void-Viewing Three Realms expert has suddenly appeared, of course, he has to come.”
“I think many hidden old monsters will emerge this time. The mystery surrounding the tomb of the Void-Viewing Three Realms expert is just too great.”
In the blink of an eye, an open space appeared at the cave entrance.
A shadow appeared like a ghost, emanating a chilling aura.
“Hehe.” Gui Daozi chuckled and transformed into a mass of black mist, disappearing into the cave entrance.
“Everyone hurry in; there must be many treasures inside!”
Someone shouted.
This statement acted like a stimulant injected into everyone’s bodies, causing them to scream excitedly and dive into the cave without hesitation.
“Master.” Lian Bi's eyes revealed a hint of urgency.
Wang Yi was about to speak when he heard Fire Spirit say, “Prince, wait a moment; something feels off.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi immediately stopped and asked, “What feels off?”
Lian Bi saw Wang Yi stop, frowning, and he also halted.
“Let me observe for a moment,” Fire Spirit said in a deep voice.
Wang Yi remained silent.
After a cup of tea's time passed, Fire Spirit finally spoke: “Leave immediately.”
“What?” Wang Yi was taken aback and asked.
“Don't ask questions, just leave. I will explain later,” Fire Spirit said seriously.
This was the first time Wang Yi had heard such serious words from Fire Spirit, and without doubt, he immediately said to Lian Bi: “Let's leave now.”
“Leave?” Lian Bi asked in confusion.
“Go.” With that, Wang Yi transformed into a red light and shot upwards.
Lian Bi followed closely behind.
In a certain place on the mountain peak, there were three Ghost-faced Men.
“Sir, two people have left. Did they discover something?” one asked. “Should we send someone to kill them?”
“Hmph, if even the Ghostly Daoist didn't notice, how could a Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer warrior detect anything?” the leader said coldly. “I think they probably had something urgent to attend to and left temporarily. Moreover, if we kill them, it would easily alert others. If these people don’t enter, the Western King will blame us. Can we bear that?”
“Two people leaving is nothing to fear. We must not let this matter ruin the Western King's grand plans.” The leader continued coldly: “Send more people to spread news in nearby cities; we need to attract more people. This way, the chance of opening the core of the ancient tomb will increase.”
“Yes,” the person replied respectfully.
“Rest assured, sir. There are already over two hundred thousand people coming. In no time, it will exceed a million. It is their honor to contribute their blood for the great cause of the Western King,” said the previously silent Ghost-faced Man.
Black Dragon City.
Wang Yi and Lian Bi returned to Black Dragon City, only to find that the once bustling city was now desolate, with not a single guard in sight. Many of the large shops had closed down, and a cool breeze swept through the streets, revealing only a few elderly people. Aside from them, there was not a single martial artist to be seen; the vast Black Dragon City had fallen into an extreme silence.
After a short while, Wang Yi and Lian Bi returned to the inn.
"Hey there, sir! I heard that the Transverse Mountain Range has appeared in the Void-Viewing Three Realms martial artists' graveyard. Why didn't you go?" a young man asked with a wide grin. Before Wang Yi could respond, he continued, "If you were a martial artist, you would definitely have gone. This is a great opportunity to make a fortune."
Wang Yi smiled lightly.
"Three Sons, stop chatting and serve this guest!" The innkeeper came out and shot a fierce glare at the young man before asking, "Sir, what can I get for you?"
"Bring out your signature dishes!" Wang Yi replied with a smile.
"Sure!" The two responded eagerly.
"Fire Spirit, is it time now?" Wang Yi asked.
"Is there something strange about that place?" Fire Spirit replied in a low voice.
