A high mountain peak, Cui Cheng, clad in a grey robe, stands firmly atop it, overlooking the strife within this otherworldly space.
Those entering the otherworldly space are a mixed bag, with various factions having grudges against each other. It's not uncommon for them to engage in battles to claim opportunities.
Although the second and third layers remain unopened, and the immortal treasures have not yet appeared, the various factions with their grudges already took this opportunity to start one battle after another.
Since a fight is inevitable in the end, why not start it here to kill time?
Cui Cheng stands coldly above the otherworldly space, paying attention to everything happening inside, and his ears faintly pick up the sounds around him.
"Does that mean your identities have been discovered by Chen Mo?"
A black crow perches on Cui Cheng's shoulder, its eyes turning slightly red, and then an old voice emanating from the crow's body.
In Cui Cheng's hand, a stone shines faintly with a dim glow, the transmission stone.
The transmission stone resonated with the voice of Song Zhong, the Supreme Elder of Feiyun Academy.
"Yes, Mr. Chen Mo not only discovered my teacher and disciples' intentions, but even allowed me to thank you,"
"I suppose that he knows of your existence, and perhaps even your identity…"
The voice on the transmission stone suddenly trailed off, and the speaker seemed unsure of how to continue.
Upon hearing this, Cui Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and there were a few more serious expressions on his face.
They've been manipulating everything from the shadows, and logically, Chen Mo should not know of their existence.
Even if he is exceptionally clever and can guess their presence, he shouldn't have known the identity of the Celestial Mechanic Elder.
Why…
At that moment, the crow perched on Cui Cheng's shoulder fell silent, with its eyes twisting and rolling for a long time without uttering a word.
Cui Cheng's face was filled with surprise, but there was also a hint of concern. "Sir, you said that Chen Mo is so clever that he not only discerned your existence but may even know your identity. Has he perhaps already prepared his backup plan?"
"On this journey, he clearly wants to maintain his neutrality and avoid getting involved in our dispute with Zhang Tianlin. If he really wants to observe the battle from a distance, it will be us who suffer the consequences."
Although the Turtle of Overt Unfold is not devoid of skilled warriors, Zhang Tianlin, the old fox, is no ordinary man either. A direct confrontation would only result in mutual defeat, and Cui Cheng does not wish to see Chen Mo reap the benefits behind his back.
The crow's eyes flickered slightly, and a voice filled with lingering laughter came, "Rest assured, I said that since Chen Mo dared to come, he would definitely be part of it. It is his fate, and he can't escape."
"Apologies, Lord Cui, Mr. Chen Mo's fate is sealed within this game of ours..."
As Cui Cheng was speaking, suddenly, a massive palm print fell from the sky, instantly enveloping him like a flood of wild animals.
Cui Cheng was startled, retreating repeatedly, and in doing so, he struck out with a palm, barely blocking the sudden attack.
"What's wrong?"
A curious voice suddenly came from the transmission stone.
The crow perched on Cui Cheng's shoulder twisted its eyes around.
"No harm, just the beginning of a good show."
After Cui Cheng finished speaking, he put away the transmission stone, and the crow still stood motionlessly on his shoulder.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky, clad in an emerald black and gold robe, his disheveled long hair scattered carelessly, his face chiseled with sharp angles.
As soon as he landed, a terrifying aura immediately emanated from him.
Shangguan Tianhong raised his eyes slightly, scanning the surroundings with indifference before fixing his gaze on the crow perched on Cui Cheng's shoulder. "Tianji, you are indeed careful. Your subordinates act so dispersedly. However, don't you fear that we will each take you down?"
After speaking, several figures suddenly descended behind Shangguan Tianhong, all clad in black robes.
The black hoods covering their faces made it impossible to discern their identities.
"Shangguan Tianhong, you speak of your abilities first, but you are nothing but a brute force. Without the protection of Zhang Tianlin, you would have died ten thousand years ago."
The crow's eyes twisted, and its closed beak suddenly issued a mocking laugh.
Shangguan Tianhong's face turned dark, and he pointed with his hand, releasing a surge of spiritual energy. Before Cui Cheng could react, he saw the crow being pierced through with a single finger.
"Old dog, if I catch you, I'll make sure you're as dead as this stinky crow!"
Shangguan Tianhong spoke coldly, gazing at the lifeless crow, then looking up and glancing at Cui Cheng, "Now it's your turn. Just as I said before, break these guys one by one."
Shangguan Tianhong lightly turned his neck and moved his wrist, "Let's finish this quickly. First, we'll deal with you guys and then deal with that woman. Damn it, I haven't avenged the last time yet. If it weren't for your guys planning to attack from behind, I wouldn't spare her so easily."
"However, killing you first and then her will yield the same outcome"
Shangguan Tianhong spoke with an air of certainty, but Cui Cheng remained silent.
Shangguan Tianhong furrowed his brow, "How, are you afraid to speak? Or are you just a mute?"
"Your Turtle of Overt Unfold is quite capable, but don't assume that our Turtle of Hidden Depth lacks talent"
Cui Cheng spat out a cold sentence, and the next moment, two figures suddenly landed on either side of him.
One person was dressed in black armor, with fists clenched, emanating a terrifying aura.
The other person was dressed in gold robes, with sleeves rolled up, eyes blazing with intensity but a faint smile on their face.
They did not hide their identities like the people behind Shangguan Tianhong, but instead proudly displayed their faces openly.
As Shangguan Tianhong was from ten thousand years ago, he naturally could not recognize the identities of the two people. However, the other Turtles behind him could easily identify them.
"This, this is..."
"Is this... Wu Quan, the Martial Ancestor of Zhenwu Mountain?"
"And Jin Dingmen's Jin Jiayang"
"Never expected that these two fellows are from the Turtle of Hidden Depth"
...
Cui Cheng smiled and looked at the shocked people in black robes, indifferently saying: "Since you're here, why hide and hide, after all, your identities will be exposed when we fight."
The few people in black robes exchanged glances for a moment, then they removed their black robes, revealing their true faces.
"It's quite surprising, I never thought we would fight each other as fellow sect members. Well, that's just the way it is. Each one fights for his own cause. Let's fight."
A great battle is about to break out at any moment.
Deep in the forest, a serene lake suddenly broke the surface as a head emerged, followed by the body.
There, a drenched Chen Mo stepped on the lake surface and leaped to the shore, "Hmph, this lake is indeed a great place for cultivation. If I could stay and cultivate here for some time, I would be able to break through my cultivation level even faster."
"Brother, when we get the immortal treasure, we can also come back."
Little bean responded, smiling brightly and saying.
Chen Mo nodded slightly, looking up at the sky, where it was suddenly enveloped in a burst of golden light.
"Second layer, it's open."
