Chapter 1374: Qinglong Appears, All Take Up Arms

"Kid, this is the battlefield; those odors are too foul, I really hate such scents." Heishanyang stared at the battlefield before him, blackness covering it, a fog of dead Qi, yin Qi and resentment condensed and enveloped the battlefield; the entire battlefield was wrapped.

Upon entering this battlefield, Heishanyang felt uneasy all over; instinctively it looked toward a spot, its brows tightly knit.

Then it vanished instantly from where it stood; a moment later it appeared elsewhere, the fog before its eyes even denser. It gazed at the valley below, the valley cloaked by a Formation, just like the outside scent but even stronger and more detestable.

Qinglong Daoren's figure slowly coalesced beside Heishanyang; he also stared at the battlefield, his Spiritual Sense released but constrained, unable to radiate outward, thus unable to perceive the surroundings.

"This valley is no simple place; the Formation forged by heaven and earth lies below—likely hiding some secret."

"The ominous aura permeating the air is extremely thick, and there's also a nauseating corpse stench."

"That Formation is problematic; it's probably just a ruse, with the real secret lying beneath."

Qinglong pointed to the ground beneath the center of the valley, saying that inside must be the secret.

Heishanyang sensed for a moment, then turned and asked, "Kid, do you want to go there?"

"There seem to be three Strong Ones of the Seek Dao Realm there; should we kill them before we go in?"

Qinglong Daoren waved his hand: "No need. We'll slip inside quietly, see what secret lies below, and if possible, steal it all."

Heishanyang instantly understood; it was that same trick again, his favorite maneuver. When he followed that kid Chen Chuyang, the kid always used this method; now his clone does the same—some things, even a clone, never change.

"Fine, I'll take you down right now."

Heishanyang can ignore certain Formations and pass through some, though of course there are Formations it cannot cross.

For overly advanced or overly dangerous Formations, it lacks confidence.

As for the Formations before it, compared to Chen Chuyang's, they are far inferior.

Heishanyang slipped in stealthily, then advanced toward the underground.

Beyond the Formation.

Two figures descended; Mu Long Wenlong stared into the Formation, eyes narrowed.

"It seemed someone was watching me just now."

In that instant, he felt the gaze, but it was only a moment before it vanished.

Mu Long Wenlong still sensed it; he looked around but saw nothing.

Mu Long Hai asked puzzled, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

Mu Long Wenlong shook his head: "Nothing, but it feels like someone is watching us."

"What!" Mu Long Hai scanned the surroundings, observed a round, refused to believe, observed several more rounds, and found nothing.

"Young Master, could it be a hallucination? This place is a battlefield; it heavily affects soul and consciousness."

Mu Long Wenlong nodded: "Perhaps so."

"Elder Mu Long Hai, this place is the core of the battlefield. Though it's not the battlefield's center, it's well hidden, yet we can't be fooled; we just don't know which member of the Corpse Refining Sect set this up here."

"The Corpse Refining Sect is betting this big this time; it seems they want to force Tian Du Men to act, right?"

"Young Master, could it be that someone acted on their own? The Corpse Refining Sect wouldn't be so unwise; to act directly at a time when they still don't know the exact situation of the Tian Du Dragon King, they dare to act—truly bold."

Even the Mu Long family, without prior notice, couldn't act immediately.

Once they act, it would be a contempt for Tian Du Men and would incur Tian Du Men's retaliation.

"Unclear; this place is strange. The battlefield was deliberately opened; the one below is no simple foe—be careful, don't fall into a trap."

"Understood, Young Master."

The two began moving into the Formation; they had to see for themselves—having come here, they naturally wanted to meet the hidden mastermind behind it.

As for the battle between the Huang Family and the Bai Family, they paid it no mind; who wins or loses doesn't affect them and poses no threat.

After entering the Formation, the two simultaneously looked up at the sky.

"Bang."

A massive Ghost Hand crushed down, and the two immediately scattered.

The Ghost Hand fell, emitting a series of booming sounds, with dust and smoke rising.

Luo Qing and Jiang Wu spat blood, enduring the attack, feeling terrible.

Jiang Wu braced the sword blade, which lodged half into the ground.

"Cough cough cough." Jiang Wu coughed violently.

"Junior Brother Luo Qing, this Heartless Ghost King is hard to deal with; are we really going to meet our end here this time?"

Luo Qing, hearing that, stood up and pointed to the near distance: "Cough cough, the Mu Long family members have arrived."

Jiang Wu looked over, locking onto Mu Long Wenlong and Mu Long Hai's figures, brows furrowed, eyes hostile.

"Mu Long Wenlong, Mu Long Hai—they've also arrived."

"Seems the Mu Long family isn't satisfied either."

Jiang Wu straightened his body, drew his Heavenly Dark Sword, pointed at the Heartless Ghost King, and shouted loudly: "Heartless Ghost King, the Mu Long family has arrived; today you cannot escape disaster."

Mu Long Wenlong and Mu Long Hai heard this, stared at Jiang Wu, their gazes icy.

Jiang Wu ignored their stare and continued: "Heartless Ghost King, if you have any sense, kneel before me."

A fox borrowing the tiger's authority.

Luo Qing admired his senior brother internally; at such a moment he deliberately acted, clearly targeting Mu Long Wenlong, and indeed the Heartless Ghost King turned his head, his gaze complex as he stared at the two Mu Longs. The arrival of these uninvited guests triggered the Formation's disturbance; the earlier disturbance was caused by them.

Yet the Heartless Ghost King's heart remained uneasy, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Instinctively scanning the surroundings, he found nothing abnormal.

"We must quickly eliminate these people," the Heartless Ghost King thought inwardly.

"Mu Long Wenlong, and you, Mu Long Hai—didn't expect you to be allied with those two, both trying to ruin my plans?"

"Since you entered the Formation, I will send you to death."

The Heartless Ghost King gave them no chance to speak, summoning vengeful spirits and zombies to attack Mu Long Wenlong, intending to wear them down and cause them to fall here just like Jiang Wu and Luo Qing.

"Heartless Ghost Hand."

The Ghost Hand lunged at them, and Mu Long Wen Long and the other were nauseated to death, so they could only dodge.

They certainly didn't want to run into the Mie Xin Ghost King; after scattering, Mu Long Wen Long immediately said: "Mie Xin Ghost King, we are not here to stop you. This time we have come to help you."

Mu Long Hai added: "We are your allies, not your enemies."

Mie Xin Ghost King gave a cold smile: "Hmph, I don't believe your ghost talk."

"All of you, die for me."
