At the moment the Hongmeng tree seed is pulled out, a tiny bit of Hongmeng power will leak out. Any cultivator would sense it.
Even if those people don’t know that this energy is Hongmeng power.
Still, the benefits gifted by the Hongmeng power are enough to let them know that the Hongmeng tree seed is a heaven-defying, precious treasure.
Mo Jinghong is waiting for someone.
Only that person’s terrifying pressure can mask the Hongmeng energy in an instant.
“Seventh Junior Brother, should we get out of here quickly?” Baili Wenyue asked in a low voice.
A red glow surfaced deep in Mo Jinghong’s eyes, and the aura around his body was powerful. “Bear Tiger Ridge is already surrounded.”
“What!?” Baili Wenyue exclaimed in shock.
“Seventh Junior Brother, Little Junior Sister is still down there; she hasn’t come up yet!” Ning Shiyue’s jade-white face showed a grave expression.
Mo Jinghong said calmly, “She left from somewhere else.”
A flicker of hesitation crossed Ning Shiyue’s bright, springlike eyes. Could Seventh Junior Brother be waiting for a spirit beast?
Should she tell Seventh Junior Brother that the item is with her?
Mo Jinghong’s gaze was sharp. “Fifth Senior Sister, you still have quite a few explosion talismans on you, right?”
Ning Shiyue nodded. “About a hundred of the third-level ones, but only ten of the fifth-level.”
“Give them to Sixth Senior Brother. Throw them all out later.” Mo Jinghong exuded an authoritative presence.
Baili Wenyue and Ning Shiyue looked stunned. If all those talismans were thrown, this place would definitely be leveled to the ground.
Baili Wenyue’s fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as he reached out toward Ning Shiyue. “Fifth Senior Sister, give them to me.”
Ning Shiyue didn’t hesitate. She placed a handful of talismans into Baili Wenyue’s palm.
Immediately, everyone’s gaze fell on Baili Wenyue.
Baili Xuanqing saw the stack of talismans in Baili Wenyue’s hand. “Who drew all these?”
“I bought them, of course,” Baili Wenyue said in a light tone.
“Fifth-level talismans are not sold to outsiders at all. Where did you buy them?” Baili Xuanqing’s eyes were dark and gloomy.
On the Kyushu Continent, the only people who could draw fifth-level talismans have always been within the Baili family.
The power contained within a fifth-level talisman is enough to deal with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. The Baili family would never sell such a dangerous item to outsiders.
Baili Xuanqing spread his divine sense, landing it on the talismans in Baili Wenyue’s hand.
Just as he was about to extract the talismans’ energy signature, Mo Jinghong’s slender hand pressed down on them, blocking Baili Xuanqing’s prying.
“You?” Baili Xuanqing was forced to withdraw his divine sense and stared at Mo Jinghong in shock. A mere Spirit Transformation cultivator could actually resist his divine sense!
Baili Xuanqing said coldly, “Who exactly are you?”
Mo Jinghong’s dark hair flew wildly, his robes flapping in the wind, but he remained silent.
Baili Wenyue raised an eyebrow. Seventh Junior Brother is so impressive!
Suddenly —
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically. Waves of extremely dangerous energy were surging toward them.
“Sect Leader Xiao, these people don’t seem to be coming with good intentions!” Clan Head Sheng said gravely.
Xiao Hongyu’s eyes were stern. “These people aren’t from Qingyun Province.”
Xiao Qingfeng asked doubtfully, “Could they be here for the spirit beast?”
“A mere spirit beast wouldn’t be enough to make these experts break their agreements. Something better must have appeared…” Baili Xuanqing looked behind Mo Jinghong.
The energy coming from that pit was very mysterious, even more powerful than the aura of a Mahayana Immortal Venerable.
Baili Xuanqing stepped forward, walking toward Mo Jinghong.
With each step, a glow emanated from around him.
A mysterious, profound formation slowly unfolded from beneath Baili Xuanqing’s feet.
Baili Wenyue and Ning Shiyue stood in front of Mo Jinghong.
Ning Shiyue drew her sword from its sheath, pointing it directly at Baili Xuanqing.
Boom! —
An explosion sounded not far away.
Then, a wave of terrifying pressure enveloped everyone, making their hairs stand on end.
A cold voice echoed through the air: “Everyone, leave this place immediately. Bear Tiger Ridge has been designated a forbidden zone of Kyushu.”
As the voice faded, a golden map unfurled in the sky.
Everyone looked up at the map.
On the map, the area of Bear Tiger Ridge had turned red, signifying that control of Bear Tiger Ridge was no longer in Qingyun Province’s hands.
Xiao Hongyu and the others’ faces turned extremely grim.
At the same time, they also witnessed strange phenomena in the sky.
Dragons soaring, tigers leaping, phoenixes dancing in the heavens!
Both sect and family members knew what this meant. Such phenomena indicated that a peerless treasure had appeared at Bear Tiger Ridge.
Why should a treasure from their Qingyun Province go to people from other provinces?
The sect and family members stood together once more.
Xiao Hongyu, as the head of the four sects, was pushed forward.
With a gloomy expression, Xiao Hongyu said respectfully, “Honored ones, isn’t your actions a bit too overbearing? Bear Tiger Ridge is, after all, in Qingyun—”
Bang! —l
Pfft! —
Before Xiao Hongyu could finish his sentence, he was knocked to the ground by a powerful force. His meridians were damaged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
An icy voice rang out: “Hmph! When Kyushu Enforcers handle matters, outsiders are not allowed to question them!”
Xiao Qingfeng stepped forward to help Xiao Hongyu up and fed him a pill.
Xiao Hongyu was the strongest fighter among this group; he absolutely could not fall.
After Xiao Qingfeng fed Xiao Hongyu the pill, a prying divine sense landed on him.
This divine sense made Xiao Qingfeng feel like thorns were pricking his back, but he had no ability to evade its scrutiny.
