Eternal Night Forbidden Zone is located in the Wasteland of the Fengyun Nation's west. To enter the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone, one must pass through the Wasteland.
The Wasteland is a place teeming with fierce beasts. Although there are many beasts, they pose little threat to martial artists. Instead, it is the Mystic Beasts that are the true nemeses of martial artists.
Fortunately, while the Wasteland is vast, there are not many Mystic Beasts. Nonetheless, it is still a paradise for wild animals. As a result, no factions invest effort into managing this area.
When Aotian stepped into the Wasteland, it had already been half a month.
At this moment, on a plain, Aotian was walking leisurely, scanning his surroundings.
The Wasteland is indeed a paradise for fierce beasts. For martial artists, these beasts are merely primitive creatures that attack anyone they see.
Since entering the Wasteland, Aotian had already encountered no fewer than thirty waves of beast attacks.
However, most of these beasts were of average strength, so Aotian managed to pass through without much danger.
Just as Aotian was advancing deeper into the Wasteland, he suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with surprise as he scanned his surroundings.
The plain where Aotian found himself was eerily quiet; he couldn't see a single beast. It was known that the Wasteland was filled with beasts, so encountering none here was certainly strange to Aotian.
However, now that Aotian had grown bold from experience, he shrugged off his slight confusion and continued walking forward as if he had not noticed anything unusual around him.
But after taking just a few steps, countless young men in white suddenly surged from all directions. They surrounded Aotian, their eyes filled with mockery and murderous intent.
Startled for a moment, Aotian narrowed his eyes. Upon seeing the uniform white clothing of these White-Clad Youth, his expression changed. These people were actually disciples of the Ice River Sect!
It seemed that news of his entry into the western part of the Fengyun Nation had not escaped the notice of the Ice River Sect. This was to be expected; as the dominant force in the west of the Fengyun Nation, it was only natural that the area would be filled with spies from the Ice River Sect.
As soon as I stepped into the West of Fengyun Nation, the Ice River Sect must have already received the news.
"Haha, Aotian, why aren't you staying at Xuantian Academy? Instead, you've come to my Ice River Sect's territory. Are you really looking for death?!"
A loud, unrestrained laugh echoed, and a middle-aged man slowly walked forward from the crowd.
Upon hearing the voice, Aotian began to scrutinize the middle-aged man. He knew that today, this man was likely the leader of this group of Ice River Sect disciples.
The middle-aged man had skin as white as snow and hands that could be described as delicate. If it weren't for the fact that he confirmed this guy was a middle-aged man, Aotian would have thought he was looking at a woman.
"Who are you?" Aotian asked in a deep voice.
"Haha, I am Bai Feng, the Grand Elder of Ice River Sect, and also the biological father of Bai Xin!" The middle-aged man, Bai Feng, laughed heartily.
Upon hearing this, Aotian's expression darkened immediately. He certainly knew Bai Xin; he was one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun who later helped the Zheng Family attempt to overthrow the Aojia but ended up being defeated by Aotian himself.
Because of that defeat, Aotian was able to join the ranks of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun, while Bai Xin seemed to have vanished after that loss, hiding within Ice River Sect and never appearing again.
He never expected to encounter someone from Ice River Sect today, and this person turned out to be Bai Feng, the Grand Elder and father of Bai Xin!
"What? Are you here to avenge your son?" Aotian said coldly.
"Haha, your name Aotian is renowned among the younger generation of Fengyun Nation. My son lost to you; I naturally have nothing to say about it. However, regarding your involvement with Snow Qincheng, I will not let this matter rest!"
Bai Feng initially laughed heartily, but his face quickly filled with rage, changing so fast it was astonishing.
Aotian couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked:
"What has Xue Qingcheng got to do with this again?"
Bai Feng's expression was somewhat grim, but he still snorted angrily, "My Ice River Sect leader once made an agreement with Xue Haoyang! To betroth Snow Qincheng to the most outstanding disciple of my Ice River Sect! However, because of your interference, my son's marriage has been delayed. Don't you think you deserve to die?!"
By the end of his words, Bai Feng's face was filled with menace.
Upon hearing this, Aotian suddenly understood. So this was the source of his conflict with Ice River Sect. However, it was impossible for him to give up on Snow Qincheng.
With a cold smile, Aotian said, "You want to get rid of me just because of this?!"
"Yes! You bastard are a disaster! You must be eliminated today!" Bai Feng said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, your son is useless, and you think killing me will make Xue Qingcheng change her mind? That's truly laughable! Looking at your character as a father, I can tell your son is no better! No wonder even with a marriage contract in place, Xue Qingcheng shows no interest in your worthless son!" Aotian mocked.
"What did you say?!" Bai Feng's voice suddenly rose sharply, his eyes blazing with fury and murderous intent.
"I said you and your son are two of a kind, both useless! Your son is nothing but a defeated opponent under my command; what right does he have to pursue Xue Qingcheng!?" Aotian continued to sneer.
"Haah..."
After hearing Aotian's words, Bai Feng began to breathe heavily, his eyes gradually filling with bloodshot veins, looking as if he wished to tear Aotian into pieces.
"Kekeke, Elder Bai Feng, don't get too worked up! It's not good for your health to let anger over a dying person affect you!"
Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed through the air. Gradually, a middle-aged man appeared beside Bai Feng.
This middle-aged man had an evil aura surrounding him, with lips as red as if stained with blood, giving him an eerie presence.
Looking at this middle-aged man, Aotian was once again taken aback. He realized he had not noticed how this man had appeared. This middle-aged man's cultivation must be quite profound.
"Who are you?!" Aotian asked aloud.
"Kekeke, since you're about to die, let me satisfy your curiosity! I am the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Nether Gate, Underworld Demon!" the middle-aged man, known as Underworld Demon, replied with a sinister smile.
Upon hearing this, Aotian was shocked. If it were just Bai Feng here, he might have had a chance to escape, but now that chance seemed slim.
Both Bai Feng and Underworld Demon were well-known figures in Fengyun Nation. The former was the Grand Elder of the Ice River Sect and had already one foot in the Earth Spirit Realm.
If Aotian had a slight chance against Bai Feng, facing Underworld Demon left him with only one option: to flee.
For no other reason than that Underworld Demon was already a warrior of the Earth Spirit Realm...
