Chapter 408: Must Not Be Left Alive

Zhang Nuo glanced at Zhou Huizheng's expression and already knew in his heart what he was thinking!

"Pavilion Master, rest assured! Lu Yuhou is also heading to the First Immortal Mountain. If we meet him there in the future, I will certainly not let him leave alive!"

Hearing this, Zhou Huizheng did not react much; after all, he had spent many years with Zhang Nuo and knew his personality like the back of his hand. Now that he had offended Lu Yuhou, and knowing that the other party would not let it end there, Zhang Nuo would definitely cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!

However, Su Mubai, who was to the side, had a shift in thought! Although Zhang Nuo had cultivated the Second Demon Infant, he had never seen his methods. Lu Yuhou had been famous for a long time; would he really die at his hands?

Although the Divine Sense clash was a loss, Divine Sense was ultimately just Divine Sense; it only showed that Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense was powerful. If they were to truly fight, it would not be as simple as just comparing Divine Sense!

At this moment, Su Haizhen also walked out from the Flying Magic Tool. Although she had not shown herself, everything that happened before had not escaped her ears!

After coming out and seeing that Zhang Nuo was safe and sound, she finally set her mind at ease. The four of them quickly returned to the interior of the Flying Magic Tool and once again propelled the magic tool to fly toward the direction of the First Immortal Mountain!

Along the way, Su Mubai kept secretly transmitting his voice to Su Haizhen, continuously probing into Zhang Nuo's personality. Su Haizhen did not understand what her fourth uncle was trying to do, so she told him everything she knew! After a long while, a subtle, imperceptible smile appeared on Su Mubai's face!

"Fourth Uncle, what is wrong with you?"

Su Haizhen looked at Su Mubai before her, feeling greatly puzzled, but since she was in front of Zhang Nuo and Zhou Huizheng, it was not easy to speak directly, so she immediately transmitted her voice to him!

"Hehe! I see that this kid Zhang Nuo is interested in you!"

With a faint smile, Su Mubai transmitted his voice back. Upon hearing this, Su Haizhen's pretty face flushed red. She had known this for a long time, but how did her fourth uncle know?

"I only spent a period of time with him at the bottom of the 'Mi Hai Vortex' and had no deep contact at all! That is not very likely!"

Su Haizhen was feigning ignorance!

"According to what you said before, Zhang Nuo has always been low-key and does not like to meddle in other people's business! But today, he actually got into a big fight with Lu Yuhou. This shows that a certain action or a certain sentence of Lu Yuhou's made him greatly dissatisfied. I have thought it over and over; perhaps it is because Lu Yuhou discovered your existence and did not have good intentions, which made Zhang Nuo truly angry! Perhaps, without realizing it, you have already become his reverse scale!"

How sharp Su Mubai's mind was; after careful analysis, he had guessed the whole matter seven or eight tenths correctly! Su Haizhen did not say anything more, but she felt warm inside! She cast her gaze upon Zhang Nuo. At this time, Zhang Nuo's eyes were slightly closed, as if he were meditating and resting! He was not paying any attention to the exchange between the uncle and niece at all!

Another two months or so passed, and Zhang Nuo's group finally arrived at a temporary encampment tens of thousands of miles away from the First Immortal Mountain! This place was managed by a large sect from the vicinity, and every cultivator entering the encampment had to pay some Spirit Stones, though these Spirit Stones meant nothing to Zhou Huizheng and the others.

After handing over the Spirit Stones, the four of them walked into the encampment. They saw that there were small market stalls everywhere, with some cultivators haggling inside the stalls; it looked extremely lively! Zhang Nuo pondered for a moment and understood; it seemed they were all people preparing to enter the First Immortal Mountain!

Sweeping his Divine Sense over those people, he saw that some of their cultivation levels were still at the Golden Core stage. Entering the First Immortal Mountain with this level of cultivation was likely seeking their own deaths. It seemed that in this world, there were many who overestimated their own abilities! To obtain some treasures, they did not even want their lives!

Zhang Nuo and the four others found an inn to stay in, and then Su Mubai went out to gather some information. The four sat together to discuss, and finally decided to enter the Taidou Immortal Mountain early the next morning!

Everyone knew the level of danger of this trip. Zhang Nuo looked at Su Haizhen, still feeling a faint worry in his heart; after all, her cultivation was too low, and if she encountered danger, it would be difficult for her to protect herself!

Su Mubai watched Zhang Nuo out of the corner of his eye, feeling a surge of joy in his heart, and then said with a faint smile:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, Zhen'er's cultivation is not high. Once we enter the Taidou Immortal Mountain, I hope you can protect her a little! If it is permitted, how about letting Zhen'er stay by your side? That way, Fellow Daoist Zhou and I can go deal with other dangers with peace of mind!"

Su Mubai's words hit the nail on the head for Zhang Nuo, and he immediately nodded in agreement! Zhou Huizheng, who was to the side, felt displeased but did not show it; after all, in the vast Taidou Immortal Mountain, if they really found some Cave Abode, Su Mubai would have to be the one to deal with the Restrictions!

Although his and Zhang Nuo's magical abilities were not weak, if it came to Arrays and Restrictions, the two of them combined were no match for Su Mubai!

After the four finished their discussion, they walked out of the encampment early the next morning, boarded Zhou Huizheng's Flying Magic Tool, and flew toward the direction of the First Immortal Mountain!

After half a day, the four finally stood before the First Immortal Mountain! They saw that this mountain towered into the clouds, its surface emitting a gloomy and terrifying feeling. Compared to other immortal mountains, it was a world of difference. No one would have thought that this was the once-famous Taidou Immortal Mountain of the Immortal Illusion Continent!

Above the immortal mountain, a layer of black clouds was shrouded all year round. The thick cloud layer gave people a sense of oppression! It felt as if the black clouds were pressing down on the mountain, threatening to crush it! Even the four people standing at the foot of the mountain felt their breathing become difficult!

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Nuo looked up at the immortal mountain, and only after a long while did he exhale the stifled air in his heart. Judging from its appearance alone, this Taidou Immortal Mountain was no ordinary object! Although there was no massive Spiritual Qi, this pervasive pressure was not to be underestimated!

Since they had already arrived, there was no reason to turn back. The four of them steeled their hearts, transformed into four streaks of light, and rushed into the immortal mountain! Just as they broke into the immortal mountain, they saw many earth giants walking slowly on the ground below. These behemoths, over a zhang tall, made a booming sound every time their feet landed!

Fortunately, these earth giants only formed their physical bodies from soil and could not fly; otherwise, no one would have been able to enter this First Immortal Mountain!

After flying forward for a short while, Zhang Nuo was suddenly startled, because his Divine Sense discovered a spatial rift not far ahead. This rift was several zhang long, and the strange energy radiating from within swallowed everything that approached it; even the air did not escape!

As they ventured deeper, more and more spatial rifts appeared inside the Taidou Immortal Mountain. Some were obvious enough for them to discover, but some were so hidden that even Divine Sense could hardly detect them!

Helpless, Su Mubai took an Array Disk from his bosom and cast several incantations into it. The surface of the Array Disk immediately rolled out a sheet of five-colored light, and then dots of light appeared on the disk!

With the guidance of the Array Disk, Zhang Nuo and the others avoided many dangers, but because of this, the speed of the four of them slowed down significantly!

Along the way, they encountered several Nascent Soul cultivators, but since Zhang Nuo's side had three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, the others did not even dare to greet them and immediately changed direction to flee!

Five days later, Zhang Nuo's group finally flew into the depths of the Taidou Immortal Mountain. The oppressive feeling here was even deeper; the black clouds above their heads seemed within reach, and bursts of dull thunder came from the clouds! Occasionally, lightning would streak across the sky!

"Let's go down and rest for a while!"

These five days of flying would have been nothing to them in the outside world, but inside this First Immortal Mountain, they had to be careful at every moment, and their nerves had been in a state of tension, making them miserable!

When Zhou Huizheng proposed this idea, none of the three objected, and they immediately found a place that looked safe and landed!

Probing the surroundings with his Divine Sense, he saw that there were no earth giants present, and the four finally set their minds at ease. Su Mubai put away the Array Disk in his hand and looked around at the environment; everything within his sight was in ruins! Bursts of cold wind blew, making one shudder!

"Fellow Daoist Su, along the way, we did discover a few cultivators, but the number was not large. Could it be that the cultivators who entered before have all headed toward the top of the immortal mountain?"

Zhou Huizheng's expression was pensive, and after thinking hard for a while, he asked in great confusion.

"In my opinion, most of the cultivators who entered have perished! In the places we have passed these past few days, there were no fewer than thousands of spatial rifts, large and small, not to mention the many hidden spatial rifts that some cultivators simply cannot discover. Those who are lucky enough to discover them early can escape with their lives, but if they are unlucky, they will be sucked straight in!"

Looking up at the sky, Su Mubai sighed and shook his head. His nickname was 'Strange Array Divine Monarch'; if it weren't for the Array to detect spatial rifts in advance, he probably wouldn't have reached this point so smoothly!

"Fourth Uncle, on the way here, I recorded everything we passed using a Jade Slip. In some places, there were traces of fighting. It seems that a large force entered the immortal mountain before us!"

Su Haizhen was meticulous and recorded the traces of everything they passed; analyzing them now was quite useful!

"In one place, I discovered that the Yin energy was very heavy; it seemed as if cultivators who knew how to use Yin energy had fought there!"

What Su Haizhen said before did not attract the attention of the others; after all, in such a vast immortal mountain, a few fights were nothing special. But when they heard her say there were cultivators who knew how to use Yin energy, the eyes of Zhou Huizheng and the other two lit up at the same time! Especially Zhang Nuo; a murderous intent suddenly erupted from his calm face!

There were not many cultivators who could use Yin energy to cultivate. Could it be that people from the Great Underworld Mansion had also come here! Truly, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. It seems that there will definitely be a great battle upon entering the Taidou Immortal Mountain this time!
