"What? You are going to deal with an Elder Steward of the Golden Thunder Sect?" The Bald Man frowned, surprised as he asked in a low voice.
Although he had a somewhat arrogant personality, he was aware of the power of the Golden Thunder Sect, which occupied a whole state. Faced with such a giant, even he had to think twice; after all, this was not child's play. Offending a powerful Sixth-Rank Sect was no laughing matter.
"In this Rare Treasure competition, the Golden Thunder Sect is one of our opponents. We will have to face them sooner or later. Even if we don't go after them, they will come after us."
Seemingly sensing the Bald Man's hesitation, the Veiled Woman's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. Her Crimson Lips parted slowly as she spoke, and her words naturally indicated her stance.
Upon hearing this, the Bald Man suddenly came to his senses. He slapped his bald head with his right hand and grinned, "Damn it, it's just the Golden Thunder Sect. Even if I kill a few Elder Stewards, so what? First of all, can they even find out it was me? Even if they do, do they really think they can send some old geezers to hunt me down? This Thunder Continent is so vast; I refuse to believe there isn't a place for me to hide. Brother... uh... I have no objections to your request."
His words had barely left his mouth when he noticed Crystal Bird's eyes widening again. The Bald Man was momentarily taken aback and quickly changed his tone. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of caution towards this seemingly harmless Crystal Bird; it was an extremely strange feeling that even he couldn't comprehend.
"What do you both think?" Sun Zhe's gaze flickered as he looked at the Purple-Blue Twin Swords duo.
Forming an alliance would avoid the weakness of being alone and would eliminate the fear of those sects being numerous and powerful. Before discovering the Rare Treasure, they could almost guarantee a smooth journey together. Moreover, they could leverage everyone's strength to deal with the strong members of the Golden Thunder Sect; how could Sun Zhe not be willing?
The Bald Man was a Late Stage Thunder Lord Cultivator, renowned even throughout the Great Yuan Province. Although the Purple-Blue Twin Swords duo only had peak early-stage Thunder Lord cultivation individually, when united as Husband and Wife, even Late Stage Thunder Lords would retreat. Their Purple Green Sword Formation could almost contend with top-tier cultivators at Great Perfection of Thunder Lord level. As for the mysterious veiled woman, her innate demon beast alone could match a Late Stage Thunder Lord Cultivator. With such backgrounds, how could she lack other means? Even Sun Zhe didn't believe it.
Though this alliance was small in number, each member was powerful in their own right. United together, they would not be weak against those formidable sects and would definitely be considered a strong combination in this Wanbingyuan; this was truly what moved Sun Zhe.
"Heh heh, since you all agree, what objections could we have? By the way, my Wife and I have had some past grievances with the Golden Thunder Sect. If we can vent some anger during this Wanbingyuan trip, that wouldn't be bad."
Seeing everyone looking at them, the Purple Sword Man smiled lightly as if he didn't care at all. However, while speaking, a cold glint flashed in his eyes without concealment.
The Purple-Blue Twin Swords duo was powerful and had long been mingling in Xuan Prefecture occupied by the Golden Thunder Sect. With such dominance from the Golden Thunder Sect, how could they not "recruit" this Husband and Wife pair? Especially since they wielded the immensely powerful Purple Green Sword Formation; such a sword formation was highly attractive to sects like the Golden Thunder Sect. However, the Purple-Blue Twin Swords duo had grown accustomed to freedom and were unwilling to join the Golden Thunder Sect. After several encounters, natural grievances arose between both sides; now looking at the expression on the Purple Sword Man's face, it was clear that their past grievances were significant.
"By the way, Purple-Blue Twin Swords seniors, when you just entered Wanbingyuan, you weren't here, right? How was it over there?"
At that moment, the voice of the Veiled Woman suddenly rang out, and Light and Graceful guided everyone to look at the two from Purple-Blue Twin Swords.
"Hehe, sister's strength is extraordinary; there's no need to elevate us so highly..." The woman known as Azure Sword smiled slightly and responded.
"That's right, when we first came in, we appeared on another plain. If we hadn't made contact before entering Wanbingyuan, I wouldn't have found your location so quickly."
After finishing her words, she looked around. Although the tens of thousands of Battle-Ready Weapons had already disappeared, the remaining scene was still shocking. The ground was almost entirely stained red with blood, and the corpses left behind were incomplete. A thick stench of blood filled the entire area. Frowning slightly, the Purple Sword Man spoke again.
"Our situation isn't much better than yours. The difference is that we weren't attacked by flying weapons; instead, countless strange spears suddenly emerged from the ground. Caught off guard, nearly half of the people were pierced through by these spears, their bodies impaled into the ground. It seemed like there was no end to those spears. In the end, out of nearly two thousand people, at most only thirty percent remained, and most were injured to varying degrees."
"Notably, a team of dozens from the Golden Thunder Sect was also on that plain. However, only a few disciples suffered minor injuries; not a single person died. I must say, the strength of their disciples cannot be underestimated; they are definitely above their peers among Cultivators." The Purple Sword Man relaxed his brow and suddenly spoke.
Golden Thunder Sect!
Upon hearing this name, Sun Zhe couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, while the others also revealed a hint of cold sharpness. Since the people from Golden Thunder Sect were right there, wasn't that essentially delivering themselves to them?
"Where is their team composed of Thunder Lord Stage experts?"
Everyone's gaze turned back to the two from Purple-Blue Twin Swords. If Golden Thunder Sect had truly sent a treasure-hunting team there, given their strength, it would be difficult for them to gain anything. Moreover, with the current situation unclear and no treasures having appeared yet, they wouldn't recklessly clash with such a powerful force.
"No, their core team should have entered Wanbingyuan ahead of us. That team is still outside of Wanbingyuan. They don't seem prepared to enter Wanbingyuan, but there is an additional elder at the Late Stage Thunder Lord guarding inside. If it weren't for this reason, my partner and I would have already dealt with them."
Although the two of them could fight against a Late Stage Thunder Lord or even a fully realized Cultivator, there were three Thunder Lord Stage experts along with dozens of disciples from the Realm of Thunder Sovereign. They felt somewhat powerless against them. However, with the addition of Sun Zhe and the other three, the situation would be completely different.
Hearing the Purple Sword Man, everyone exchanged glances and nodded without hesitation.
"Hehe, we will lead the way, Husband and Wife."
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, the two understood their intentions. A flash of Killing Intent appeared in their eyes, and the Purple-Blue Twin Swords immediately soared forward, with the remaining three closely following, all rushing toward another plain.
"Chirp... Chirp..." As everyone dashed forward, Jingjing suddenly jumped onto the head of the Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle, bouncing with excitement.
The Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle is a descendant of the Ancient Dapeng Golden-Winged Eagle, a beast of noble blood. How could it allow a bird to insult it like this? It immediately screeched in fury, flames of gold erupting all over its body. However, this terrifying golden flame had no effect under Jingjing's Purple Radiance; no matter how enraged the Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle became, it could do nothing to Jingjing.
"You've grown up; don't hold it against this child."
The Veiled Woman gently soothed the furious Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle. After a while, it finally calmed down, but its gaze toward Jingjing was filled with fierce intent. Yet, fearless Jingjing showed no signs of fear. It had once treated the Barbarian Forbidden Zone as its backyard; how could it be afraid of the Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle?
Little did the Veiled Woman know about Jingjing's "history." Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the translucent creature, her face full of wonder.
Despite this, the group's speed did not decrease in the slightest. The five of them flew forward at an incredible pace, while the members of the Golden Thunder Sect remained unaware that danger was approaching!
