Specifically, they coveted a certain magical artifact.

At this moment.

Deep within a continuous stretch of mountains, in a vast valley, a formidable aura of Immortal power pervaded the area. All living things within hundreds of miles could feel this ancient and vicissitudinous energy.

It was akin to an Immortal mountain, whose weight now heavily bore down upon the hearts of all cultivators in Fengling Valley.

They felt awe, fear, and anxiety.

And in the heart of Fengling Valley, just outside the original gates of the valley.

At this moment, several mountain peaks had been occupied by different forces, serving as temporary campsites.

About ten miles from the gates of Fengling Valley, the valley had undergone a complete transformation. Layers of dense blood aura filled the air, causing all the trees and plants to wither, losing their vitality as though drained of life.

Standing on the mountain peak of the Taixu Immortal Alliance, Chex Plume, the head of the alliance, watched with solemn eyes. Despite their efforts to break the barrier outside the ruins for over a year,

they had not truly entered the ruins.

Because, the blood aura that filled the ruins could drain the lifespan of everyone present.

Even True Monarchs with Nascent Souls couldn’t avoid it.

In the end, they had to retreat in disgrace, waiting for a perfect opportunity.

Whoosh!

Soon after, a figure appeared behind Chex Plume, it was Gongsun Yi. Gongsun Yi had defected to the Taixu Immortal Alliance and became a pawn in their hands.

Gongsun Yi approached Chex Plume and bowed respectfully, saying, “Head.”

Chex Plume turned to look at him, his eyes calm as he asked, “What’s the situation?”

Gongsun Yi shook his head, saying, “It’s still not working. The formation inside the ruins is a Heaven Phoenix Blood Sacrifice Great Array. Its full strength was probably a fourth-grade high-quality Earth Vein Formation that even True Monarchs with Nascent Souls could refine.”

“Although the formation is now damaged, its power is no weaker than a fourth-grade lower-quality Land Master Formation.”

“Relying solely on those third-grade Land Masters and Array Masters to decode the Blood Sacrifice Great Array in a short period of time is difficult.”

Upon hearing this, Chex Plume sighed lightly and rubbed his temples tiredly.

What a damn mess.

How did such a thankless task fall onto his shoulders again?

With the remaining formation in the ruins, the Alliance Hierarch of the Taixu Immortal Alliance had temporarily left, as had the heads of the seventeen other branches of the Taixu Immortal Alliance.

Only he, having lost the treasury, and therefore the foundation of the Chex Plume branch, was left here to guard and take care of breaking the formation.

After all, their branch was now entirely dependent on others, and as the head of the Chex Plume branch, he naturally couldn’t refuse.

Chex Plume waved his hand and changed the subject, “So, what are the results from sending someone in for reconnaissance?”

Gongsun Yi reported, “It’s not promising. In addition to the Heaven Phoenix Blood Sacrifice Great Formation, there are also numerous remaining minor formations and residual restrictions. Of the ten Loose Cultivators who went in today, nine were killed by the residual formations and arrays. The one who survived entered in their seventies, but came out with his lifespan almost exhausted.”

“Inside, he said he only saw a world of bloody valleys, littered with one skeleton after another. In the depths, it seemed that there was a huge skeleton.”

“That terrifying aura likely originates from that massive skeleton.”

Chex Plume’s eyebrows furrowed.

One quick trip in, and nine out of ten Qi Refinement Loose Cultivators were dead, with the tenth one left nearly lifeless.

This place was truly eerie!

As for what he saw inside, it didn’t really matter.

Because they couldn’t reach the depths. To search for treasures inside, they would first have to break each formation and disperse each restriction.

“Did Fengluo Prefecture and the Nine Souls Demon Palace make any progress?” Chex Plume asked Gongsun Yi.

Gongsun Yi replied, “Not at all.”

“Then, you may leave.”

Chex Plume waved his hand. After Gongsun Yi had left, he sighed again, looking towards the ruins.

At present, apart from the cultivators they had forced to enter the ruins, only a few people had entered and not returned.

One was Fairy Fengling from Great Moon Prefecture, who was quite attractive.

The others were the highly talked about ‘Mysterious Dark Demon Monarch’ from Nine Souls Demon Ridge, who charged in with a few others while Nine Souls Demon Palace let down their guard.

In Chex Plume’s opinion, those people must be dead.

With the Heaven Phoenix Blood Sacrifice Great Array, who could have survived in there for more than a year?

But —

If they didn’t break the great array, they couldn’t get in either.

‘Given the current progress, it would take over ten years to break the formation…unless a fourth-grade Land Master or a fourth-grade Array Master could take action.’ Chex Plume pondered.

Suddenly.

Chex Plume’s expression shifted, and he swiftly turned towards the direction of Great Moon Prefecture.

“This aura — it’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch!”

Chex Plume’s heart trembled, though he did not move. He simply watched in the direction from which the aura came.

Because, even as a True Man in the ninth stage of Core Formation, he couldn’t escape from a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Rather than thinking about escaping, it was better to think about how to handle the situation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several strong Core Formation cultivators’ auras burst forth from the surrounding peaks, with a few of them emanating a strong demonic aura, painting the heavens with a sanguinary tint.
