No scouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the spy’s letter described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing atop a ridge, the Ghost King stared at the dazzling Mountain and River Altar in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What fortune this is... No wonder they dream of becoming immortals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With an array that gathers spiritual energy like this, and the blood of divine beasts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we hadn’t come ourselves, I wouldn’t have believed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him stood a young woman in black—Bai Yao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, be careful. Something feels off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the righteous sects had set this up to ambush the Ghost King Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t brought their full forces—only three of the Four Great Envoys were present: White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and Vermilion Bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only four thousand disciples, they’d be at a disadvantage in a true battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Ghost King shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Baguio. Everything in life has risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I can obtain even one drop of that divine elixir... my power will skyrocket. Immortality will no longer be a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if we let Qingyun claim it alone, where will that leave the demonic sects?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baguio fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were speaking, a jade talisman shot from a distant peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost King caught it and read the glowing inscription:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The heavens descend. The elixir awakens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha... so it’s true.

Two other sects are present nearby. There’s no ambush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" The Ghost King’s eyes narrowed. \"Then we wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the sky lights up... strike with everything we’ve got.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the massive Mountain and River Array, Cangsong descended from the sky and gave Zhang Fan a subtle gesture — it was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan stepped forward before the assembled disciples and guests and began chanting loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, our sect holds a grand sacrificial ceremony. To honor the Eternal God’s divine grace, we offer two sacred tributes: the Spirit Beast — the Water Qilin — and Xiaozhufeng’s disciple, Xueqi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait—what?! A sacrifice?

There will be no whispering during the sacrificial rite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the entire square fell into a tense, fearful quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan knelt before the altar and began chanting the sacred invocation from the ritual scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each phrase he spoke, the Mountain and River Altar pulsed with divine energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden clouds that once hovered peacefully atop the mountains surged into the sky, blanketing everything in oppressive, radiant light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suffocating pressure weighed down on everyone’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Cangsong, fanatical as he was, felt a moment of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is divine power... but I have nothing to fear.

He had to descend manually, wasting time and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the Mountain and River Altar had created a perfect conduit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad.

For a ’friend,’ he’ll betray anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Liu Che felt no need to intervene. If not for Cangsong, he would have had to apply pressure to Zhang Fan to get here this early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liu Che concealed his presence, no one below sensed his arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangsong anxiously watched the churning clouds overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hasn’t the god appeared yet?
