Chapter 613: Gathering of Powerhouses

“I heard that many people went to Nanya Mountain recently.”

Such a voice suddenly sounded in front of Fang Yun, causing him to be alert. He carefully stared at the scene ahead, then shrank to the size of just one meter, disappearing into the bushes.

Fang Yun was hiding in the bushes, completely inconspicuous. Even if he was discovered, it wouldn’t matter as they would only consider him a normal 1-meter long snake.

Creatures of such size are generally mortal creatures and are mostly ignored by cultivators.

While Fang Yun was waiting, a group of people appeared in front of him. It was a team of twelve. The strongest of them was the burly man walking ahead.

Judging from Fang Yun’s perception, this person’s strength is about peak domain master, which can be considered quite high.

As for the others, apart from the seven that are late or peak cosmic level, the rest are domain masters. At this moment, they completely ignored Fang Yun in the bushes.

“Brother, what kind of person do you think that woman is, and why can she attract so many strong people?”

A domain master beside the burly man frowned and asked.

“I heard that the woman’s physique is special, eating her can save up to hundreds of years of cultivation, I wonder if it’s true or not?”

“I heard someone say that she has an amazing background. She is the heir of a giant clan. She appeared here due to an accident. Now, everyone is rushing to be friends with her.”

The burly man hasn’t spoken yet, but his companions have already started talking with each other. Each one of them had an excited expression. The burly guy couldn’t bear the endless chattering and finally said.

“Why do you care so much about her? Anyway, the goal of this trip isn’t that woman but the treasures in this secret realm.”

Upon saying this, the burly guy couldn’t help but laugh,

“We’re lucky that those guys are fighting for that woman. Now, no one will compete for that treasure with us!”

“Hahaha, you’re right, big brother!”

Others responded one after another, but strange lights gleamed in the depths of the eyes of these people. It seems that what they are thinking and saying was completely different.

The strong man seemed to know what his companions were thinking, so he just shook his head and said.

“There are too many people going there.”

“In fact, an immortal-class master headed there. If we carelessly participate in such a mess, we will not only not gain anything, but we are also likely to lose our lives.”

After hearing the words of the burly man, these people shrank their heads. They forcibly interrupted the strange thoughts in their head.

“Okay, we…”

After seeing that everyone converged their strange thoughts, the burly man quickly changed the subject, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a needle entering his head, stirring his mind and filling him with pain. The burly man fell to the ground and started rolling in pain.

“Ahhh!!”

The sturdy man’s behavior suddenly shocked his companions. They just wanted to go over and ask what’s wrong, but in the next moment, they felt a sharp pain in their mind.

“Ahhh!!!”

Everyone was lying on the ground at this time, rolling constantly.

Fang Yun slowly crawled from the bushes on the side. Upon feeling that he got enough information, he pulled out his mental power.

Suddenly, everyone, including the strong man, felt that most of their pain disappeared. Their bodies felt much more relaxed;

“What was that?” This question emerged in everyone’s mind. Obviously, they had encountered some kind of attack, but what was the thing that attacked them?

With such doubts, the people lying on the ground struggled to look around.

As they scanned the surrounding area, their sight quickly fell on a certain place.

In that place, a one-meter-long snake was moving away with its head held high. There wasn‘t the slightest cultivation aura on its body, but now everyone stared silently at that snake. They didn‘t even dare to breath

“Is the previous attack the doing of this snake?”

As the snake slithered away, someone asked with a low voice. The other people were also shocked and surprised. That snake is too small to be an extremely powerful creature.

However, there was no other creature besides that snake in their vicinity.

“You don’t have to worry about it.”

The burly man said as he propped himself up. He looked at the direction Fang Yun disappeared in and solemnly said.

“It must have searched through our memory just now. That…that lord, maybe it also came for that woman.”

Speaking of this, he said to his companions around him again, warning them,

“You see, even such a powerhouse Is interested in that woman. There‘s no place for cultivators of our level to get involved.”

After hearing what the burly man said, everyone else smiled bitterly.

The woman who suddenly appeared in the Tianhu secret realm has attracted the attention of many people. Many mysterious rumors about her were circulating around, attracting the attention of even more people.

The people in this team were also attracted, but they have not really met true powerhouses, giving them the illusion that they are extremely powerful and that they might be able to gain something after heading there.

However, after meeting Fang Yun and experiencing the terror of true powerhouses, they put away the fluke mentality they had.

With just his mental power, that being brought them to their knees. They didn‘t even have the power to resist. This was because Fang Yun had no intention of killing. Otherwise, there would be twelve corpses lying on the ground at this time.

“Big brother is right. Fortunately, that lord didn‘t have the intention to kill, otherwise, we might have to forfeit our life.”

“Yeah. Fortunately, we were able to keep our life this time.”

“Whoever loves to go to Nanya Mountain, Go! Anyway, I don’t plan to join in the fun.”

The group of people was glad that they kept their lives. They ran in the other direction, disappearing in the lush forest. On the other hand, Fang Yun headed towards Nanya mountain after learning the path.

Although it’s not possible to fly here, Fang Yun crawled on the ground at a terrifying speed. He didn’t stop no matter what kind of obstacle appeared in front of him. Even if a mountain appeared in front of him, he bulldozed straight through it, leaving behind a dark tunnel.

At his speed, it took him half a month to reach his target, the Nanya Mountain.

This Tianhu secret realm is very big. In fact, its size is even bigger than the planet outside. There’s a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers between its farthest points.

As Fang Yun approached the Nanya mountain, in a certain place, an old man in ragged clothes was carrying a hip flask and staggering forward.

Not far from him, there was a group of people. If Fang Yun was here, he would immediately recognize that they were the bearded captain group that he encountered at sea.

“Boss, what shall we do now?”

Counting the bearded man, there were fifteen people. At this time, they came here to make some money. Their luck was quite good. On the first day, they hunted a giant monster. This monster’s worth is already the same as what they managed to get at sea in their last journey. Everyone was excited.

Unfortunately, not long after, an old man appeared and captured them all.

The group of fifteen people became the prisoners of the old man.

“Hehe.”

It seemed that he heard their muttering. The old man weirdly laughed. The sea group was frightened upon hearing this. They felt like their luck has been the worst recently.

“Don’t worry, you just need to lead me to a certain place.”

At this time, the unkempt old man smiled and said,

“As long as you bring me to Nanya Mountain, I will let you go. Don’t worry, you will be free soon.”

When he finished speaking, the old man raised his head and took a sip from his flask. He had an intoxicated expression on his face.

Hearing the words of the dirty old man, the sea group was not excited. In fact, the sadness on their face became even more apparent, because they know what Nanya mountain is like.

Before they even came in, they learned that Nanya mountain has become almost like a forbidden land. There’s no place for small characters like them there.

According to the gossip they heard, a group of people with a low cultivation base gathered there previously, but unfortunately, they all become playthings for the powerhouses there.

Some bloodthirsty people even slaughtered these weak people. In their words, they are warming up for the next battles.

Now that weaklings like them are heading to such a dangerous place, isn’t that any different from suicide?

Unfortunately for them, they can’t say such things at this time, because once they offend this dirty old man, they are probably going to die before even reaching the Nanya mountains.

…………

An endless stretch of mountains, like a giant dragon winding around. This mountain range was filled with a murderous smell. In fact, even the air around seemed to be a bit sticky.

Three figures were sitting cross-legged at the top of this mountain.

One of them is an extremely old, white-haired, man. He looked like he would breathe his last breath and die any time. However, if someone ever used mental power to scan him, he would be surprised to find that he couldn’t scan anything. It’s almost like he doesn’t exist.

This person is a true powerhouse.

Below that old man, fifteen people were sitting cross-legged. If the bearded man ever sees these fifteen people, he will be extremely shocked, because these people are the strongest cultivators on their planet.

All of them are immortal-level powerhouses.

Of course, they only know that these fifteen people have reached the immortal level, but they don’t know their specific rank. Judging from the aura radiating from these fifteen people, their strength should be around noble immortals to early immortal kings.

In the sky above the forest, in addition to the white-haired old man, there was another humanoid figure wearing a black robe. This person’s age and appearance are a mystery, as his black robe completely covered his body.

However, through the faint rays of sunlight, this person’s face could be vaguely seen. It was extremely shriveled, like a skull. He crouched on top of a tall tree, completely silent.

The last remaining person was a middle-aged man with a slightly rounded face. He was dressed in white and holding a blue sword, looking extremely elegant.

The three of them stood in a triangle position, but none of them looked at each other, but at the void above.

A few thousand meters above the ground, countless turbulent currents surged in the void, and in the turbulent currents, a relatively small figure was looming.

“Old Ghost Song, news of your death was circulating three hundred years ago. I didn’t expect that you would still be alive.”

Suddenly, the black-robed man spoke.

His voice was very harsh, like the sound of metal scratching. His voice shook the surrounding void, making the people below very uncomfortable.

“Ghost face, you should be in your 18th area. What are you doing in our 19th area?”

The white-haired old man on the other side droopingly said as he looked at the black-robed man.

“Hey, Old Ghost Song, why on earth do you need to ask more? Isn’t it because of the celestial aura that appeared here?”

The black robe man sneered, then looked back at the sky.

“Yeah, it seems that the goal of both of us is the same.”

The white-haired old man sighed, then suddenly looked at the man in the fat white-dress man. The black-robed man also followed his gaze.

It seemed that the white-haired old man and the black-robed figure seemed to be acquainted with each other, but seemed to be unfamiliar with the while-dress fat man.

Suddenly, the white-dressed man looked at the white-haired old man and said,

“I’m Xue Li, nice to meet both of you.”

“Xue Li?”

After hearing this name, the white-haired old man and the black-robed figure were all startled, their eyes become cold,

“Xue Li, the white-robed sword sage from area 12?”

“It’s me.” The man who claimed to be Xue Li humbly nodded.

“It seems that this time, this Tianhu Secret Realm really attracted a lot of people.”

The white-haired old man sighed, shaking his head.

“Heh, if people of our level want to go further, they need to grasp celestial aura, but the celestial aura is extremely hard to find. This time it appeared by accident. Naturally, there will be no shortage of people coming.”
