Treasure Hunting Zone

The oppressive atmosphere was completely ignited on this morning.

As the morning sun sprinkled into the ancient city, countless figures emerged from their residences and flew towards the northern outskirts of Otherworldly Demon City.

Not far to the north of Otherworldly Demon City, a stretch of land had been completely transformed into an eerie, pitch-black expanse, from which an unsettling aura emanated, causing discomfort to the soul.

The land outside Otherworldly Demon City was perpetually shrouded by an Ancient Grand Array. In ancient times, the top experts who suppressed the Otherworldly Demons, after burning their Reincarnation, used their last remaining strength to seal this land.

Within this land, countless powerful Otherworldly Demons were sealed. Their meager remaining power was insufficient to completely annihilate all the sealed Otherworldly Demons. Therefore, they ultimately chose to seal the entire Otherworldly Demon Domain.

However, it must be said that those ancient experts were very prescient. If they had chosen to eliminate the sealed Otherworldly Demons as much as possible, those that could not be eliminated in time might have already been rescued by the remaining forces of the Demon Prison.

It was precisely because of this seal that the Otherworldly Demons within the Otherworldly Demon Domain could not communicate with the outside world. Therefore, the vast majority of Otherworldly Demons were gradually worn down and died within the seal over endless years.

Although Otherworldly Demons had tenacious vitality, they were not immortal. Moreover, those ancient experts were incredibly powerful and had many methods. It was just that Otherworldly Demons were difficult to kill instantly due to their vitality, but it was not that they could not be harmed.

Within the seal, the Otherworldly Demons could not absorb Otherworldly Demonic Qi from the outside world and could only slowly have their vitality eroded by the seal, dying in despair.

Although this seal had gradually developed some problems after tens of millions of years, such as the opening of the Otherworldly Demon Domain, which was actually due to the seal loosening, allowing entry into the Otherworldly Demon Domain through the teleportation array every so often.

But even so, the number of Otherworldly Demons surviving within the Otherworldly Demon Domain was now very few, and almost all were on the verge of death.

It could be said that as long as no Otherworldly Demons were released by Yuan Gate this time, then by the time the Otherworldly Demon Domain opened again, there would be no living Otherworldly Demons within it.

Getting back to the main topic, under the great power of time, the sealing grand array laid down by the former top experts had now developed some unexpected issues.

To the north of Otherworldly Demon City, there was a vast black plain. At the end of this plain was the entrance to the Otherworldly Demon Domain. The space there exhibited a bizarre distortion, separating the entire plain from the area beyond.

At this moment, the sky outside this plain was filled with a dense crowd of people. From the distant horizon, the sound of rushing wind continued to arrive, further expanding this sea of people.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just then, a large group of figures swept in from the distance, immediately attracting the attention of countless experts waiting for the opening of the Otherworldly Demon Domain.

Watching the large group of figures land on the open space outside the spatial barrier, many experts immediately fixed their gazes on the badges on their chests.

"That's... the God Sect team!"

"The people from Symbol Valley are here too!"

"Look over there, Ling Qingzhu of Taiqing Palace!"

"Gui Li of Ten Thousand Puppets Gate, hiss, this one is also a ruthless character!"

Suddenly, another large group of figures rushed over from the distance, instantly turning the original whispers into an uproar.

"That's the Yuan Gate team!"

"Yuan Cang, Ling Zhen, Lei Qian, the Yuan Gate Three Little Kings, hiss, Yuan Cang's strength is probably close to the Great Accomplishment of Life Profound Realm, right?"

"And Ling Zhen and Lei Qian, judging by their aura, each of them is only one step away from the Life Profound Realm!"

It had to be said that Yuan Gate still had some deterrent power. At least, the strength Yuan Gate displayed was still very daunting, especially Lei Qian and Ling Zhen, the two Little Kings who were about to break through to the Life Profound Realm.

It could be seen that although Yuan Gate had not yet revealed its intentions, it had already begun to create momentum.

After all, many things were now tacitly understood. If Yuan Gate wanted to enter without being targeted by all the experts and kicked out of the game from the start, it had to deter this group of rogue cultivators, thereby reducing its own pressure.

"It seems that the struggle with Dao Sect a few days ago had a significant impact on the Yuan Gate disciples. Lei Qian and Ling Zhen have both made considerable progress."

"Now, the pressure is on Dao Sect's side again."

Just as some powerhouses finished speaking, a large group of figures flew over from the horizon. Without even needing to see the emblems on their robes, the sheer number of people made it clear that the newcomers were from Dao Sect.

"Dao Sect still has a lot of manpower!"

"After merging with the Primordial Hall, Dao Sect's strength can indeed suppress Yuan Gate now."

"It's just that I don't know if Dao Sect has a way to suppress the Yuan Gate Three Little Kings. Otherwise, Yuan Gate might not lose this time."

In the Sect Tournament, the number of disciples has a certain impact, but what truly matters are the top elite disciples.

Although those elite disciples can't defeat so many disciples working together, if they are willing, and there is no corresponding combat power to stop them, an elite disciple at the Life Profound Realm even has the opportunity to severely damage a super sect's team.

Don't underestimate the lethality and destructive power of top experts. If no one can deal with them, they can come and go freely. Under the cover of sneak attacks, they can kill a few people and retreat, repeating the process to inflict heavy damage.

"The one leading the team is Ying Xiaoxiao!"

"The Sword Saint didn't come?"

After seeing the delicate figure in a water-blue dress at the head of the group, many powerhouses were slightly stunned. There had been rumors for some time that the Sword Saint would also go to the Otherworldly Demon Domain, but now, it was Ying Xiaoxiao leading the team.

After a moment of being stunned, the group of rogue cultivators also reacted. The Otherworldly Demon Domain has always had restrictions on the strength of those who enter. The Sword Saint is already a Death Profound Realm expert, so it's normal for him not to enter.

Moreover, as Dao Sect's Eldest Senior Sister, Ying Xiaoxiao's strength is also beyond doubt. Perhaps, the previous Ying Xiaoxiao was not necessarily Yuan Cang's opponent, but the fight in the Treasure Hunting Zone a few days ago made many people take a different look at this former Dao Sect Eldest Senior Sister.

The legendary Divine Beast Bloodline Inheritance is still very impressive, and Ying Xiaoxiao's strength is still a mystery to this day. No one knows for sure, but it shouldn't be weak. It's possible that she has already advanced to the Life Profound Realm.

Although, on the surface, it seems that Yuan Gate disciples have the advantage in terms of top combat power, don't forget that the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace is standing on the sidelines. Dao Sect is not fighting alone. Moreover, Dao Sect disciples only have Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan, and Lin Dong on the surface, while the chief disciples of the Primordial Hall have been very low-key since the Primordial Hall merged into Dao Sect.

In fact, Lin Xuan didn't not come, he just didn't enter the Otherworldly Demon Domain with Ying Xiaoxiao and the others. After all, his strength exceeded the limits of the Otherworldly Demon Domain, so if he wanted to enter, he could only tear a crack through special means.

Moreover, Lin Xuan cannot enter openly, otherwise, something big might happen.

Even if Lin Xuan entered with the Dao Sect team, Yuan Gate's plan in the Otherworldly Demon Domain would still fail and would not be affected.

But one thing is that if the Yuan Gate Three Great Sect Leaders knew that Lin Xuan had already entered the Otherworldly Demon Domain, then the Yuan Gate Three Great Sect Leaders might cause some trouble in the Eastern Xuan Region.

It is undeniable that Tian Yuanzi and the other two are still very strong, and they are particularly cunning. Bo Xuan and the two Grand Elders of the Darkness Hall may not be able to keep an eye on the Yuan Gate Three Great Sect Leaders.

At this time, someone with enough deterrent power is needed to prevent the Yuan Gate Three Great Sect Leaders from acting rashly. There is no doubt that Lin Xuan has such deterrent power.

Back then, Tian Yuanzi and the other two used the Yuan Gate Sect Protecting Grand Array and were still blocked by Lin Xuan in the Yuan Gate Ancestral Land and beaten. It can be said that they were beaten into a psychological shadow.

Not to mention, Yuan Gate's plans against Lin Xuan have been repeatedly thwarted by Lin Xuan's powerful strength, making Tian Yuanzi and others act with extra caution when facing Lin Xuan. After all, not only did the plans fail several times, but they also suffered considerable losses.

Therefore, as long as Lin Xuan does not show up, the Yuan Gate Three Great Sect Leaders will have some concerns. After all, if Lin Xuan is sitting in the Otherworldly Demon City, the Yuan Gate Three Great Sect Leaders will not dare to act blatantly in the Eastern Xuan Region.

And the entire Sect Tournament will only last for more than a month. Even if the Yuan Gate Three Great Sect Leaders guess that Lin Xuan might enter the Otherworldly Demon Domain, they will still have some concerns. By the time they are almost certain that Lin Xuan is not in the Otherworldly Demon City, the Sect Tournament will be almost over, and Lin Xuan will also be coming out of the Otherworldly Demon Domain.

Watching the arrival of the Dao Sect team, Yuan Cang, at the front of the Yuan Gate disciples, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Lei Qian, standing behind Yuan Cang, also flashed a cold killing intent in his eyes when he looked at Wang Yan.

"Taiqing Palace, as expected, Qingzhu, you are leading the team!"

After withdrawing his gaze from Ying Xiaoxiao, Yuan Cang also showed a gentle smile on his face, looking at Ling Qingzhu at the front of the Taiqing Palace team, and said with a light smile, but under this smile, there was a hint of unspeakable complexity.

Ling Qingzhu was once the only person in Yuan Cang's heart who was qualified to be his Dao companion.

Yuan Cang is an extremely arrogant person. Although he is older and his talent is average, with the countless resources of Yuan Gate poured into him, plus a few more years of cultivation than others, his strength has always been at the forefront among the super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region.

Therefore, Yuan Cang considered himself to be among the top talents in the Eastern Xuan Region, so naturally, his standards were frighteningly high. Ordinary people couldn't even catch Yuan Cang's eye.

In Yuan Cang's view, throughout the entire Eastern Xuan Region, only Ling Qingzhu was qualified to become his Dao companion. Yes, only qualified, not that he, Yuan Cang, was worthy of Ling Qingzhu.

However, it's a pity that things change. Now, Yuan Cang has become a shadow of his former self, and Ling Qingzhu, as Yuan Cang knows, is still the Reincarnation Realm body of the Ice Master.

Once a match made in heaven, now they can only draw swords against each other. This made Yuan Cang's attitude towards Ling Qingzhu somewhat complicated and difficult to understand. Of course, this so-called match made in heaven was also Yuan Cang's own idea.

After all, he is the number one genius of the Eastern Xuan Region's overlord, Yuan Gate, in other words, the number one genius in the entire Eastern Xuan Region. And Ling Qingzhu is the number one beauty in the Eastern Xuan Region, and at the same time, her talent is also the most outstanding among the women in the Eastern Xuan Region.

"Qingzhu is a disciple of the Taiqing Palace. In the Sect Tournament, she naturally has to do her part for the sect."

Ling Qingzhu's clear and cold voice slowly sounded, as if answering Yuan Cang's question, and also as if saying something else.

Moreover, after speaking, Ling Qingzhu also turned her head to look at Ying Xiaoxiao at the front of the Dao Sect, her clear and cold face carrying a rare hint of a smile.

"Senior Sister Ying, if we meet in the Otherworldly Demon Domain, I hope Senior Sister will spare Qingzhu some face."

"Senior Sister Ling is joking. I am Senior Sister's defeated opponent. It should be Senior Sister who shows mercy to Junior Sister."

Ying Xiaoxiao responded softly, and the charming appearance of the two made many disciples of other super sects stare with wide eyes.

Those rogue cultivators also sighed at this scene, confirming that the rumors were true. The two senior sisters of Dao Sect and Taiqing Palace indeed had a very good personal relationship. Otherwise, Ying Xiaoxiao would not have openly stated that she had once been defeated by Ling Qingzhu.

On the other hand, Yuan Cang, who was beside them, looked a little ugly. Ling Qingzhu's face was cold towards him, and she didn't have much intention of paying attention to him. Her reply was just out of courtesy, but she was so close to Ying Xiaoxiao.

Most importantly, from the attitudes of the two, Yuan Cang could also confirm that the relationship between Dao Sect and Taiqing Palace was even closer than what was said in the intelligence reports. After entering the Otherworldly Demon Domain, the two super sects would inevitably join hands to help each other and deal with Yuan Gate together.

Thinking of this, Yuan Cang's eyes also showed a bit of seriousness. Although he was confident, he would not be so arrogant as to think that he could definitely deal with Ying Xiaoxiao and Ling Qingzhu at the same time. The strength of these two was not weak.

But at this moment, two more sounds of rushing wind came from a distance. Before everyone could see the appearance of the people, they heard a loud laugh.

"Haha, Yuan Cang, I didn't expect you, this dog skin plaster, to still like putting things on your face."

This voice, after entering Yuan Cang's ears, made Yuan Cang's face sink slightly, and then he said with a sneer.

"Hehe, what's wrong, Chen Kui, do you still want to spar with me? I just hope that this time, you don't run away like last time."

After the words Chen Kui were spoken from Yuan Cang's mouth, many people's faces changed slightly.

Chen Kui, ranked first on the Super Sect Wanted List. Although the current Wanted List has become a joke, it is enough to prove Chen Kui's strength.
