Chapter 782: This time it's the Goddess Xingyan Divine Envoy

Yan Yue Profound Heaven clan inner domain, Eighth Domain.

Every Great Hunt is a grand event for the Yan Yue Profound Heaven clan. Not only do all subordinate tribes participate, but cultivators from other outer domains also occasionally obtain qualifications by chance, like Xu Qing.

Therefore, the total number of participants is not fixed.

But the number of Forbidden Mountains is limited.

Thus, with so many cultivators participating, it makes it harder for the vast majority of cultivators who want to obtain Forbidden Mountains to pass the test. After all, at least three mountains are required to meet the basic requirements.

As a result, all participants can only constantly snatch from each other to stack their own number of Forbidden Mountains and reach the basic standard for passing.

But the basic standard is not what the Yan Yue Profound Heaven clan wants.

They want strong individuals, so in order to make this snatching more intense, under the Yan Yue Profound Heaven's insect-raising strategy, things like what Xu Qing and the Captain heard about appeared.

Opening some specific forbidden zones.

In the first stage of the hunt, some subordinate tribes and dignitaries under the three major divisions of the Yan Yue Profound Heaven will, according to the requirements of the Divine Temple, open the forbidden zones within their own territory at specific times, allowing all participants to enter.

And they cannot interfere with the participants' hunting and snatching behavior; they should mainly encourage it.

And these opened forbidden zones are like one flesh-and-blood vortex after another, constantly appearing within multiple domains of the Yan Yue Profound Heaven clan.

By this, they constantly push the first stage of the Great Hunt until the heaven's pride among heaven's prides is chosen.

But this kind of opening of forbidden zones, due to differences in geography and release time, makes it difficult for all participants to swarm in after opening.

Generally speaking, it is nearby passing participants who know and gather, with varying numbers.

At this moment, in the northwest region of the Eighth Domain, there is such a flesh-and-blood vortex, announced to be opened by the Yan Yue dignitary here.

This place was originally sealed, and a golden light shield could be seen on the outer layer, covering everything, making this a private domain.

The forbidden zone inside is huge, occupying a full half-state of land, with heterogenous matter dense enough to form mist.

While the range is vast, the level of exotic beasts inside is also very high, and looking at its appearance, this entire forbidden zone seems not far from self-promoting into a forbidden land.

Looking from afar, there are patches of jungle, poisonous rivers, eerie villages, and Forbidden Mountains standing tall in this forbidden zone.

And on the highest mountain peak, in mid-air, floats a magnificent palace.

Outside the palace stand two rows of statues, and in the deepest part, on a giant seat, sits a tall figure, leaning his head on one hand, resting.

This person looks middle-aged, his whole body shining with golden light, his momentum magnificent, and his Spirit Refinement fluctuations are obvious, as if he could suppress the world.

He is the owner of this forbidden zone, one of the Yan Yue dignitaries.

This opening is him following the Divine Temple's order to open his own forbidden zone, and at the same time, he is also somewhat interested in the heaven's prides of this generation.

So he came in person, wanting to see if there are any good seedlings that will appear in his forbidden zone.

In addition, there are also some unwritten rules tacitly approved by all parties, and out of consideration for face, he also has to come and arrange things.

Right now, as the time arrived, the Yan Yue dignitary's eyes opened and closed slightly, and he took a light breath.

This breath was taken, and instantly the heaven and earth changed color, wind and clouds surged, and the giant golden light shield covering the forbidden zone collapsed in an instant, breaking into pieces.

It turned into rolling golden mist, heading from all directions toward the palace where the Yan Yue noble was located.

It rolled in in an instant, merged into the palace, and was sucked into his mouth.

"Forbidden zone opened, little ones, perform well."

The Yan Yue noble spoke lightly, his voice like heavenly thunder, roaring in all directions.

As it echoed, the next moment, around this forbidden zone, figures of heaven's prides from various Yan Yue tribes appeared one after another, each unfolding their full speed and whistling over.

From different directions, they rushed into the forbidden zone.

For a time, intense competition immediately unfolded within this forbidden zone.

Here, whether it is slaughter, snatching, or death, outsiders will not interfere, and that Yan Yue noble is just watching the show in the palace.

And soon, casualties appeared.

After all, not everyone chooses to head to the Forbidden Mountains immediately, because killing each other can also obtain Forbidden Mountains, and hunting others is naturally simpler than a group of people going to snatch.

However, all these waves were hidden within the forbidden zone. Looking from the outside, this forbidden zone is like a black hole, swallowing everything, without any sound or fluctuations dispersing.

A piece of silence.

Time passed, and soon seven days went by. Every day, participants of the Great Hunt arrived and disappeared into the forbidden zone, and some chose to leave.

But strangely, the number of Forbidden Mountains inside did not change much.

"A bit boring."

In the forbidden zone palace, the Yan Yue noble watching the show yawned and shook his head.

At the same time, the moment the Yan Yue noble felt the show was not good to watch, on the sky a hundred miles away from this forbidden zone, the figures of Xu Qing and the Captain were rushing over rapidly.

They didn't stop along the way, and finally, after seven days, they approached their destination.

And the Forbidden Mountains on top of Xu Qing's head had also changed from the previous two to three.

Clearly, on the way here, there were other gains.

"A bit slow."

Xu Qing muttered in his heart. The arrival time was slow, and the speed of obtaining Forbidden Mountains was slow. Xu Qing felt that unless he could have a big harvest, otherwise, if he wanted to get a hundred mountain peaks, time would probably not be enough.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing looked up, gazing at the silent forbidden zone in the distance, cold light flashing in his eyes, and whistled away. The Captain followed behind, his expression revealing a hint of anticipation.

Just like that, after an incense stick of time, the two of them finally arrived at the edge of the forbidden zone. The moment they stepped into the forbidden zone, the mist of heterogenous matter rolled in, drowning their figures within.

In the mist, Xu Qing's aura also changed accordingly, hiding away.

His movements were no longer wide and open, but crouching forward. Every time his figure was revealed, it was merged into the surrounding jungle environment.

This method of moving forward was Xu Qing's instinct.

He had lived in forbidden zones for a long time and dealt with them a lot, so he had developed this habit.

And his Forbidden Mountains, after stepping into the forbidden zone, also shrank under the influence of external forces, circling above his head just like in the Profound Moon Workshop.

Looking at Xu Qing's figure in front, the Captain's eyes revealed a hint of strangeness. It was not the first time he had seen Xu Qing move forward like this in a forbidden zone, but this time he observed more carefully.

Gradually, his body's movement also changed accordingly. Soon, he learned some of Xu Qing's methods and, together with Xu Qing, jumped and moved forward crouching on tree branches in this forbidden zone.

This method allowed them to hide in the dark to a certain extent and not easily reveal themselves to others.

While speeding, Xu Qing also noticed that this place had a great influence on spiritual sense. Even if he spread it out with all his might, it was only a range of a few hundred feet.

For cultivators, accustomed to knowing everything in all directions with a sweep of spiritual sense, it was inevitable to feel restricted at this moment.

As for Little Shadow, it was still sleeping and couldn't help at this moment.

But Xu Qing felt okay. His familiarity with forbidden zones allowed him to obtain more information through the surrounding vegetation, achieving the effect of indirect vision.

So while rushing, Xu Qing was also observing the surroundings, paying attention to the vegetation here, the exotic beasts here, and also noticing the mountains in the distance and the golden palace in mid-air.

"That palace feels out of place here. It's highly likely the place where that Yan Yue noble is located. It seems this big shot of Yan Yue is also a show fan."

The Captain transmitted his voice in a low tone.

"Little Ah Qing, in these seven days, many people must have died here. I smell a very strong bloody scent."

Xu Qing nodded, his gaze sweeping over some flowers and plants on the ground. Among them was a grass called Blood Spirit, which grew exceptionally well while swaying.

This kind of grass lives by absorbing the aura of death. Wherever there is death, their branches and leaves will tilt toward it.

And the moment Xu Qing looked, the Blood Spirit grass all over the ground had their branches and leaves move instantly, all pointing in one direction, squirming rapidly, as if absorbing.

There was no reaction in Xu Qing's spiritual sense, but he noticed that the token the Mud Fox gave him had some fluctuations, which made him thoughtful. His figure paused, and he took the opportunity to hide on the side.

The Captain also squatted down on a tree branch, turning into a worm, leaving no trace.

Half an incense stick of time later, whistling sounds came faintly from the distance.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, waiting silently.

It didn't take long before a speeding figure appeared in Xu Qing's sight.

This person was a youth of the Yan Yue Profound Heaven clan, his cultivation base was Spirit Store, but it was clearly unstable. Clearly, he had injuries, his expression was listless, and there was fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, there was still anxiety in his eyes. After Xu Qing hid in the surroundings, his body paused, and he immediately checked the vicinity, finding nothing. Thus, he became even more anxious and was about to say something.

But just then, a sound that could pierce metal and crack stone came from afar. Beyond its sharpness, it carried a sense of intense flames. The next instant, a fiery red figure rolled in, wrapped in a sea of fire, and whistled toward them.

There was also a cold voice echoing in this place.

"Qiu Quezi, since you and I have met, then the old grudges from before must be settled. Where else can you escape to?"

As the words were spoken, the figure of the arriving cultivator paused in mid-air and revealed himself. He was also of the Yan Yue Profound Heaven clan, also a youth, but the blazing fire on his body was something Xu Qing had not seen on other Yan Yue Profound Heaven clan cultivators.

Above his head, there were actually two Forbidden Mountains circling.

"Old grudges!" That Qiu Quezi who was chased here revealed anger in his eyes upon hearing this.

"The matter between you and me, who is right and who is wrong from back then, you know it in your heart!"

After speaking, this Qiu Quezi bowed to the surroundings, his expression pious, and spoke loudly.

"Qiu Quezi, a picker before the account of the Goddess Xingyan Divine Temple's Sinking Spirit Division, respectfully welcomes the Goddess Xingyan Divine Envoy!"

As soon as his words came out, the Yan Yue Profound Heaven cultivator who had chased him changed his expression and looked around violently.

The surroundings were quiet, and no fluctuations came.

A moment later, Qiu Quezi's face was a bit pale, while the Yan Yue cultivator who had chased him gave a light laugh.

At the same time, in the golden palace in mid-air, the Yan Yue noble leaning his head on one hand opened his eyes, revealing a hint of interest.

"A bit interesting."

Saying this, he raised his hand and pointed lightly toward the place where Xu Qing was hiding in the forbidden zone. ===== CHAPTER 783 =====
