Chapter 673: Chapter 672: Little Tricks

Hengduan Mountain Entrance.

Sixth Prince, Golden Peng Saint, Fierce Sun Saint, Wei Qing, Chang Zuhua, and others had already arrived one after another.

Following the winding mountain road, they walked for about an hour.

They finally arrived.

Once they passed through the void gate ahead, they would be able to enter the world of Hengduan Mountain.

Song Qilin took the lead and walked through the void gate without hesitation.

As a lone ranger, he naturally did not care how others viewed or competed with him; he only did what he needed to do.

Furthermore, he wanted to enter Hengduan Mountain as soon as possible to see if Ye Xuan and the others had already entered.

As Song Qilin and others set out, the rest also began to move, each with their own cunning plans.

A group of eight from Giant Spirit Valley, led by Giant Spirit Changtian, closely followed and entered.

Gradually, everyone was entering Hengduan Mountain.

"Is this Hengduan Mountain?"

The younger generation of prodigies were all visiting Hengduan Mountain for the first time.

In fact, prodigious individuals can only visit Hengduan Mountain once in their lifetime.

The next time it opens, they would either have died or have become strong beings of the Saint Realm, naturally making them ineligible to enter Hengduan Mountain again.

Therefore, many regarded Hengduan Mountain very highly.

It was more like a baptism of life.

This was also why even Purple Flame Mountain, Tiger Evil Sect, Qingliu Mountain, Seven Killings Sect, these relatively minor forces in East Desolation, had sent quite a few people to come.

After entering Hengduan Mountain, disciples among the major dominators of East Desolation also showed expressions of surprise.

And cautious ones were sizing up their surroundings.

The place they were in was a dense forest, very serene as if devoid of any life form.

They all remembered their sect’s instructions carefully; they needed to be very cautious in this place. Because in this forest, there were many monsters lurking in the shadows, ready to claim one’s life.

The experienced leaders of major forces and top powers, upon entering this land, remained silent and chose a direction to scatter.

The Fierce Sun Saint and his group did not rush to act but stayed in place for a while, apparently adapting to the environment.

"Eh..."

"What is that?"

Suddenly, a disciple of Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect spotted a black bead on the ground ahead.

The bead was inconspicuous, and it would have gone unnoticed if not for his exceptional vision.

"Could this be an opportunity?" a glint of greed flashed in the disciple’s eyes.

Many people had entered this area, but the others had not noticed this bead.

With this in mind, he dashed forward in a leap, aiming to grab the bead.

"Be careful!"

Feng Dongbing saw this scene and his expression immediately changed as he shouted a warning.

However, the disciple had already grabbed the black bead.

Hearing Feng Dongbing’s words, the disciple turned his head and asked in confusion, "Brother Feng, what’s wrong?"

Seeing the disciple grab the bead without any incident, Feng Dongbing sighed in relief and said sternly, "Don’t forget that this is Hengduan Mountain, a place of great danger where death lurks at every turn. Always be careful and don’t be careless, or you won’t know what killed you, understand?"

The others also looked at the disciple with disapproval.

If something went wrong, wouldn’t they all be doomed?

This was why many people from different forces chose to scatter as soon as they entered Hengduan Mountain.

In Hengduan Mountain, the more people gathered, the more dangerous it felt.

Each force’s members acting on their own was indeed the best choice.

"Let’s go," Fierce Sun Saint looked around, locked onto a direction, and commanded.

"Yes!" the people shouted in response.

As soon as these words were spoken...

The mountain ghosts hidden in the dense forest suddenly moved.

An indescribable fear enveloped them instantly.

At that moment, everyone’s faces changed.

"This is bad!"

The few elder beings of Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect were scared witless and quickly said, "Quick, throw that thing away!"

The disciple who had just received the black bead and was planning to study it, but feeling the overwhelming sense of dread, instinctively threw the black bead away.

Boom!

The moment he threw it, the bead exploded, unleashing endless black thunderbolts.

"It’s over...."

"This damned thing is a Thunder Pearl!"

At that moment, the complexions of the disciples from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect changed drastically.

The Fierce Sun Saint couldn’t suppress the fear in his heart, and he said in a deep voice, "Use the Supreme Dao Artifact!"

Upon hearing this, several of the older cultivators from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect didn’t hesitate to take out a black divine mirror.

BUZZ————

The black divine mirror emitted a black divine light, instantly enveloping everyone and directly initiating a Void Teleportation.

However, seven or eight disciples were not enveloped, and in the blink of an eye, they were instantly killed by mountain ghosts without even screaming.

Some cultivators who had already entered Hengduan Mountain were so frightened by this scene that they peed themselves and fled for their lives without care.

Just before leaving, the Fierce Sun Saint and the others witnessed the scene and felt a chill burst forth in their hearts.

It was too horrifying!

It was said that monsters roamed within Hengduan Mountain—previously, it had been only hearsay, but now that they truly witnessed it, it was even more terrifying than the rumors.

The seven or eight disciples, all Heavenly Human Realm True Disciples, couldn’t even block the attack and were instantly killed.

Fortunately, he had used the Supreme Dao Artifact right away; otherwise, they might have been completely annihilated.

You should know that their Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect truly was one of the East Desolate Ten Dominators, with formidable strength in the East Desolate. This time, the team consisted of over a thousand disciples and eighteen older cultivators who were strategizing with various trump cards in hand—confident about their excursion into Hengduan Mountain.

Who would have thought that just after entering Hengduan Mountain, a disaster was nearly upon them.

"Everyone, stay alert!"

The eighteen older cultivators had extremely grave expressions and didn’t relax at all.

Although the Supreme Dao Artifact allowed them to perform Void Teleportation, they were still inside Hengduan Mountain, and no one knew what dangers might arise around them.

"Is this a cave?" questioned a disciple.

"It’s bad, let’s move!" suddenly, an older cultivator’s complexion changed drastically, and he immediately exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately flew towards a place where there was light.

But just as they began to move, the ’cave’ started to shrink rapidly.

The ground seemed to tremble.

Only if you broadened your view at this moment would you realize, this was no cave at all—it was the gaping mouth of an ancient giant crocodile!

The Fierce Sun Saint and the others had been teleported directly into the mouth of this ancient giant crocodile by the Supreme Dao Artifact!

BANG!

The ancient giant crocodile suddenly snapped its jaws shut.

Originally, the disciples from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect numbered in the thousands, but in an instant, more than half were either dead or injured.

The other half was lucky enough to escape with their lives.

The Fierce Sun Saint looked back at the scene, furious to the point of smoking, as a terrifying Flame Power wrapped around him.

In this moment, the Fierce Sun Saint was akin to a blazing sun, releasing endless high temperatures that incinerated everything!

"Saint, do not act rashly. Even a Saint Realm expert can’t breach the defenses of this ancient giant crocodile. If we provoke it by attacking, only more people will die," an older cultivator said sternly.

Hearing this, the Fierce Sun Saint could only suppress the anger in his heart and growled, "Let’s go!"

In an instant, half of the disciples from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect were dead!

The impact on him was immeasurable.

As the Fierce Sun Saint, he was destined to become the future Sect Master of the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect.

Today’s events were a glaring blemish for him.

Without looking back, the Fierce Sun Saint flew away.

"Why was there a Thunder Pearl in that place?" pondered Feng Dongbing, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam, perplexed.

"It must be some sneaky tricks by those who dislike our Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect!" a True Disciple sneered. "If I find out who it was, I’ll tear him to shreds!"

It was all that Thunder Pearl’s fault—if not for it, how could they have faced such mishap?

In Hengduan Mountain, how could there possibly be such a man-made Thunder Pearl?

Similar incidents involving people like the Fierce Sun Saint were also occurring to others from the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, Medicine Pavilion, Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, Six Demon Sects, Long Family, and more.

As for why...

It was naturally because of the orders Ye Xuan gave to the mountain ghosts.

That Thunder Pearl was indeed left by him.

The mountain ghosts recognized people and knew whom to trouble.

For Ye Xuan, this was hardly a scheme, but merely a little lesson for these folks.

If they from the Five Dominators of East Desolation and the Long Family wanted to play in Hengduan Mountain with him, then let them play enough.

If those from the Five Dominators of East Desolation knew everything was because of Ye Xuan, who knew what they would think.
