Chapter 881 Luo Zining's Initiative
As night fell, Yu Ying returned to the camp and came looking for him immediately.
Zhao Mu sat with Yan Lan and the others, his gaze occasionally drifting to the distance.
"What are you looking at?"
Yu Ying sat down to Zhao Mu's left with some curiosity.
"That repressed freak Jia Zheng has found a girlfriend!"
Zhao Mu said casually, his face full of a happy smile for his companion.
To be honest, none of them expected that Jia Zheng had already won over Bai Qianqian. In the evening, after only a few words, the two of them were inseparable.
When asked what happened, Luo Zining said she wasn't quite sure. She only remembered that Bai Qianqian had gotten separated from the main group during a chance encounter. After rejoining the group, she was in a very disheveled state, but most of her injuries had been healed.
Everyone immediately understood; it was a classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario.
"By the way, Yu Jie just said you led people to investigate the location of Langhuan Palace? Did you find it?"
"without!"
Yu Ying shook her head and said, "The location should be correct, but after searching all afternoon, we haven't found a single clue. I'm afraid it will only appear when the time comes."
"Have you found Ming Lei?"
"Ok!"
Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Yanlan and I can handle Cangming and Yinyu. At that time, you can focus on seizing the Heavenly Void Cauldron."
"it is good!"
Yu Ying smiled faintly. Zhao Mu never disappointed her; in fact, he often brought her surprises.
However, Yanlan was able to break through to the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, so Zhao Mu must have put in a lot of effort.
As a woman, she was very perceptive and could clearly see that the young sword king was different from what she had been a year or so ago; to be precise, the girl was gradually transforming into a young woman.
She had seen that warm, moist feeling in her sisters-in-law.
......
Three poles in the sun.
At the edge of the sky, a swarm of people, like locusts, began to pour in.
Those who came upon hearing the news numbered at least four or five thousand, and possibly even more than ten thousand.
The survival rate in the Langhuan Secret Realm is generally around 30%. There have been as many as six figures who have entered, so it's not surprising that only 30,000 to 50,000 people remain.
However, Tianlan River is relatively remote, and it takes time for news to travel, as does it take time to get there.
Most people probably didn't hear the news about Langhuan Palace, and even if they did, they realized after a little calculation that it was impossible to arrive before the Langhuan Secret Realm trial ended, so they simply didn't come.
Who leaked the information?
"They're most likely from the Cang or Yin families!"
Yu Ying chuckled and said, "They're afraid of me, so they're deliberately muddying the waters."
"Afraid of you?"
Zhao Mu was stunned.
"Ok!"
Yu Ying nodded and said, "Otherwise, why do you think they went to such lengths to prevent me from reaching the Four Extremes Realm?"
That makes sense.
If that's the case, the competition for the Heavenly Void Cauldron will actually be much easier.
Only the weak resort to tricks and schemes.
In other words, after their initial defeat, Cang Ming and Yin Yu did not receive any significant opportunities in the year or so that their cultivation did not reach the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm.
In the current situation, unless one's cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, one doesn't even qualify to compete for the Heavenly Void Cauldron.
"They're coming!"
Zhao Mu suddenly sensed something, looked up and saw dozens of streaks of light arriving in an instant.
When the light fades, its true form is revealed.
Cang Ming arrived first, followed by the elites of the Cang family. Most of them concealed their cultivation levels, making them impossible to detect, except for the two at the very back.
Mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm!
Before long, Yin Yu arrived with eight experts from the Yin family. Similar to the Cang family, only the last two did not conceal their cultivation levels: mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm, about to break through to the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm.
"this......"
Jia Zheng frowned and muttered, "Brother Zhao, do you think they're just being deliberately mysterious, or are they genuinely confident?"
The Cang family has ten members, and the Yin family has eight. Even the weakest of them are at the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm. This combat strength is very strong. This doesn't even include the other members of the Cang and Yin families. By any measure, their apparent strength surpasses that of the Cang family.
If that's the case, why spread the news about Langhuan Palace, causing it to attract so many people?
Based on the current trend, it might exceed 10,000 people.
Although the three lineages of the Holy Land are powerful, these 10,000 people are not made of clay. They may not be able to reach the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, but Zhao Mu guessed that there were definitely some at the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm, and there might be more than one or two of them.
This trial in the Langhuan Secret Realm is clearly very different from the previous ones.
The late stage of the Four Extremes Realm is no longer a rare occurrence.
"Don't worry, the advantage is on our side!"
Zhao Mu didn't care about these things because he didn't sense any obvious threat from Cang Ming or Yin Yu.
Thanks to his naturally strong soul, he has an extremely high level of awareness of danger.
He ruined Cang Ming and Yin Yu's plans, so they must be full of malice towards him. If they were much stronger than him, their bodies would have given them warning signs long ago.
In other words.
There's no way either of them could be much stronger than him.
According to the original plan, he and Yanlan were fully capable of dealing with Yin Yu and Cang Ming.
As more and more people arrived in the area, both banks of the river were packed with people.
However, three full days passed without a single conflict occurring.
until.....
On the evening of the third day, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the bottom of the Tianlan River, instantly forming an exquisite pattern that floated above the river—an extremely magnificent palace.
It is magnificent and grand.
"Is this the Langhuan Palace?"
Hu Qing was somewhat shocked and murmured, "The scale of this sect alone is already beyond the reach of ordinary top-tier forces. Could it be that Langhuan Palace was once a force comparable to a holy land?"
"If it is truly a sacred land, then the Heavenly Void Cauldron is very likely a divine artifact."
Mo Qiusheng stood to the side, full of anticipation. He had never seen a real divine artifact before, let alone a Dao artifact. Of course, it wasn't just him; most people didn't have that kind of luck. Even among the people of the three lineages of the Holy Land, very few had ever seen a Dao artifact, let alone a divine artifact.
"If it's a divine artifact, it'll be even more troublesome!"
Yanlan muttered something under her breath, which immediately drew agreement from Zhao Mu and Yu Ying.
If it were just a Dao artifact, the competition would still be merely a contest among the trial participants. However, if it were a divine artifact, there is a certain probability that it would evolve into a true struggle between the three lineages of the Holy Land, and even the entire Cangwu Realm would fall into chaos.
The allure of this magical artifact is simply too great.
Just then, Luo Zining approached and asked, "How do you want me to help you seize the Heavenly Void Cauldron?"
Since it's a collaboration, she naturally won't sit back and reap the benefits; she still has to put in the effort.
She also saw the people from the Cang and Yin families.
"You should be able to tell that my previous invitation to the Hidden Moon Sect was entirely to create opportunities for Jia Zheng and Bai Qianqian; I didn't actually expect you to be of any help."
Zhao Mu's frankness displeased Luo Zining, who coldly retorted, "Are you looking down on me? They..."
Luo Zining looked up and gestured to Zhao Mu, saying, "I can help you with those four people. In fact, it wouldn't be a problem to add another late-stage Four Extremes Realm cultivator."
???
Well, the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm is really common now.
Only then did he realize that this woman was also in the late stage of the Four Extremes Realm, and not just a beginner.
