"The other ..."
Li Qingyang said sadly, "He's already on his way to the Royal Medical Hall!"
"What?!"
King Ningheng was astonished.
His mind couldn't keep up for a moment.
"Senior Li, are you saying that you and the other seniors...?"
King Ningheng trembled in his heart, but he didn't dare to inquire further in front of these God Transformation Realm experts.
"What you're thinking is correct. I underestimated Su Zhan. In such a short time, he has truly mastered the Purifying the Gods and Displaying their Sanctity Technique! Even if we join forces, we are no match for him!"
Li Qingyang sighed and looked at the other God Transformation Realm experts, saying, "Everyone, it's not that I failed to fulfill my promise. It's that Young Master Su has taken the Qingyang Sacred Diagram, so all the previous agreements we made naturally become void."
"This is truly unfortunate!"
Mo Lie, the God Transformation Realm expert from the Zhoufeng Kingdom, looked frustrated. "We traveled so far, gained nothing, and even handed over the True Dragon Blood!"
"Ah! The True Dragon Blood is a secret held jointly by all the God Transformation Realm experts in the Tiannan region. Initially, we might have had a chance to obtain it in the future, but now..."
"What now?"
Ma Tieniu didn't care at all. "First of all, we haven't personally seen whether that place really has the True Dragon Blood. Second, we all know the dangers of the Misty Cloud Gorge. Last time, we entered together and didn't even catch a glimpse of the dragon blood before we were all severely injured and had to flee!
That place might indeed have the True Dragon Blood, but it's clearly not something we can obtain!"
"That's true."
Hu San from the Hugou Kingdom grinned. "In fact, telling Young Master Su about the specific location of the Misty Cloud Gorge might not be a bad thing for us.
Young Master Su is very powerful, but his strength is limited. It's only because spiritual energy in the Tiannan region is scarce, and rare spiritual herbs are too few that no one can break through the second transformation of the God Transformation Realm. Otherwise, how could we be embarrassed like this?
However, just because we can't break through doesn't mean the demonic beasts in the Misty Cloud Gorge can't. Last time, we encountered a peak first transformation demonic beast of the God Transformation Realm. Perhaps, wherever the True Dragon Blood is, there's a fierce beast equivalent to the second transformation of the God Transformation Realm guarding it, right?
If Young Master Su is eaten by that demonic beast, then the Tiannan region will be ours again, won't it?"
Mo Lie nodded in agreement. "That's true. Anyway, given our current situation, even if Su Zhan obtains the Dragon Blood and becomes stronger, as long as we don't provoke him, the situation won't worsen!"
"Alright, no matter what we think, let's not play around until we ensure Young Master Su's death! Otherwise, as you all know, the consequences will be terrible. We won't chat today because I haven't fully recovered from my injuries and need rest."
After Li Qingyang finished speaking, he left immediately.
Next, the other God Transformation Realm experts headed to the residence previously prepared for them by King Ningheng.
At this moment, outside the forbidden area, King Ningheng appeared perplexed.
In the Tiannan region, there were only seven God Transformation Realm cultivators in total. However, now, five of them had joined forces and couldn't match Su Zhan!
One person suppressing five God Transformation Realm experts...
King Ningheng suddenly turned around and said to a eunuch nearby, "Prepare a decree! Send it to the Xia Nation and the Yuntian Sword Sect, stating that the Qingyang Kingdom is willing to form an alliance with the Xia Nation!
I'm also willing to personally establish friendship with the Yuntian Sword Sect! The words must be sincere and free from any arrogance as a strong nation. Moreover, choose the best gifts from the tribute received from those small countries over the years and send them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! However, Your Majesty, it seems that the Xia Nation doesn't have a good relationship with the Zhoufeng Kingdom. Will our actions affect our relationship with the Zhoufeng Kingdom?"
"What impact could it have? With Su Zhan's power, it's only a matter of time before all the major forces in the Tiannan region establish friendly relations. Qingyang Kingdom is taking the first step, which has many benefits and nothing to lose!"
King Ningheng waved his hand, feeling somewhat tired, and left.
...
Two days later.
Su Zhan's cultivation finally broke through to the middle stage of the Core Yuan Realm. He then walked out of the forbidden area and prepared to head to the Tiannan Mountains with several God Transformation Realm experts who had been waiting for him.
The Tiannan Mountains were vast, like a great wall, isolating the fifteen countries from the outside world.
The Tiannan Mountains were filled with dense forests and were so dangerous that very few people from Tiannan managed to cross the mountains and venture into the outside world.
Even God Transformation Realm experts could only fly up to a height of six or seven kilometers. The higher they flew, the more they would be affected by the strong spiritual pressure from the Spiritual World, which greatly reduced their speed. If they reached a height of ten thousand meters, they might be crushed by the terrifying pressure of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
Therefore, the Tiannan Mountains were almost like a forbidden territory for the fifteen Tianan countries.
At most, they dared to move around the mountain edges but never dared to venture deep inside.
However, this time Su Zhan had to go deep into the Misty Cloud Gorge in the Tiannan Mountains, and he no longer cared.
Two days later.
Tiannan Mountains.
Looking down from the ravine, Su Zhan saw swirling clouds and fog, and faintly, he could see large trees.
"Is this the place where the true dragon blood you mentioned is buried? But this gorge is so vast, don't you have more accurate information?"
Su Zhan frowned.
"We apologize, Young Master Su. We descended once, but we were quickly forced to retreat by the demonic beasts there. We truly do not know the exact location of the dragon blood!"
"In that case, come with me to search down there. There is strength in numbers!"
"No, no, no!"
Upon hearing this, the brows of several God Transformation Realm experts furrowed, and they shook their heads repeatedly.
"Young Master Su, you may not be aware of this, but the demonic beasts in the Misty Cloud Gorge are highly sensitive to human aura. The more people descend, the more likely they are to attract their attention. At that time, we will be outnumbered and may attract stronger demonic beasts. It would only hinder Young Master Su, not help!"
"Yes, and the Misty Cloud Gorge is not as vast as it seems. If everything goes smoothly, Young Master Su can search for it in about a day. If we descend, it will only cause trouble for Young Master Su and serve no purpose!"
Su Zhan glanced at them and said, "Is that so?"
"Young Master Su, please trust us. How could we dare to deceive you?"
The four individuals exchanged glances and all smiled bitterly.
"Oh, by the way, Young Master Su, this is the 'Spirit Element Pendant.' It can ward off all poisons and withstand water and fire!"
"This dragon-patterned armor is a high-grade Xuan artifact with extremely strong defensive power. If Young Master Su wears it, it will be safer."
"This Gold Light Talisman is activated, it can form a shield of golden light with stronger defensive power than the dragon-patterned armor, but only for a short time!"
"Young Master Su, you have sufficient defensive treasures, and you are not lacking in offensive treasures. This 'Copper Spirit Sensing Mirror' can sense special spiritual herbs or unique treasures nearby. This treasure will definitely be of great help in finding the dragon blood!"
Su Zhan glanced at the four individuals and collected all the treasures.
In fact, he already had many similar treasures, although their quality was not as high as those given by the God Transformation Realm experts.
Feeling the astonishing spiritual power contained in the treasures, Su Zhan showed a satisfied expression and said, "Since you don't want them, I won't force it. Farewell."
After speaking, he hung the Spirit Element Pendant on his waist, wore the dragon-patterned armor, and stepped into the air, heading towards the boundless white mist below.
