As Chen Yu left the central city of Chaotic Sea City.
Inside a dimly lit cave dwelling.
"If Iâm not mistaken, the mysterious person from Silver Sea Commerce, âChen Yuâ, is the person Lord Erosion God is looking for."
"Or maybe youâre just overthinking it."
A member of the Silver Soul Clan and a Wing Clan member were conversing.
Both of them were Divine Guards of Erosion God, pursuing Chen Yuâs whereabouts and came to Sky Moon Alliance to gather information, only to accidentally hear recent news about "Chen Yu."
Suddenly, both of them received a message simultaneously.
"I guessed right after all."
The Silver Soul Clan Divine Guard laughed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two figures suddenly disappeared.
At some place in the central city, the two met with a third Divine Guard.
"Iâve received some interesting news. The former president of Silver Sea Commerce received some benefits in the Lost Mountain Range and has already told this secret to Chen Yu."
"If the guess is correct, Chen Yu is currently heading to the Mihun Mountain Range."
The third Divine Guard was from the "Ancient Alliance" of the Human Race.
She wore a red dress, her posture graceful, her eyes radiant, gleaming like water, extremely enchanting.
"Red Smoke Emperor, itâs normal for some forbidden areas to have treasures. Letâs complete Lord Erosion Godâs order first."
The Silver Soul Clan Divine Guard said.
He only listened to the Red Smoke Emperorâs words. At his level of cultivation, he had no interest in the so-called secret treasures.
"Arenât we waiting for âEmperor Yunluoâ?"
The Red Smoke Emperor smiled faintly and asked.
Erosion God had a total of four Divine Guards, all outstanding figures in the Xuanming Realm. They all pursued Chen Yuâs whereabouts, but Emperor Yunluo had tracked down elsewhere and would take at least half a year to arrive.
"No need to wait, lest the boy escapes again."
The Silver Soul Clan Divine Guard said.
This task had already consumed too much of their time.
"Then letâs set off."
Another Wing Clan Divine Guard spread his crimson wings and soared into the sky like a crimson fire phoenix, with invisible waves of fire spreading in all directions.
His actions left everyone around in shock, their figures retreating wildly.
"Fire Phoenix Clan?"
"No, thatâs the Fire Wing Clan within the Wing Clan? Moreover, his cultivation is that of Emperor Xuanming."
Soon after, two more Emperor auras faintly spread, with the Silver Soul Clan Divine Guard and Red Smoke Emperor swiftly following the Wing Clan Divine Guard.
"Keep a low profile."
The Silver Soul Clan Divine Guard appeared beside him, shouting coldly.
He had always disliked this Wing Clan companion, finding him too flamboyant, narcissistic, and lecherous.
The original place was left in shock, and even nearby Emperor Xuanming figures were alarmed.
"Three mysterious Emperor powerhouses, what are their intentions?"
Inside a nearby arena, a Stone Clan Emperor opened his eyes.
His cultivation was mid-Xuanming, stationed there, but those three auras made him wary.
"Who cares, it doesnât concern this Emperor."
The Stone Clan Emperor closed his eyes, not to cultivate, but to snore and sleep.
A few days later.
The three Divine Guards arrived at the Mihun Mountain Range.
"Letâs split up. This is a famous forbidden area of the Sky Moon Alliance. Be careful on your own."
The Red Smoke Emperor said.
"No need for you to say that."
The Wing Clan Divine Guard maintained a calm expression and flew into the Mihun Mountain Range.
The Silver Soul Clan Divine Guard also entered.
The Red Smoke Emperor watched them disappear, her lips curling into a sly smile: "Since youâre not interested in the so-called treasures, Iâll take them all."
The treasures of the Mihun Mountain Range intrigued her, and she planned to capture Chen Yu by herself and claim a great achievement.
...
Chen Yu and the Golden Stone King had already entered the Mihun Mountain Range.
The Golden Stone King was quite helpless but did not dare to speak much.
He pondered whether Chen Yu wouldnât seek danger for no reason. Could there be a secret in the Mihun Mountain Range?
Within the Mihun Mountain Range, the spiritual sense and five senses of Chen Yu and the Golden Stone King were significantly weakened.
The surrounding dark mist, known as "Enchanting Fog," was slowly permeating their souls. If too much of the permeating fog accumulated over time, the soul would manifest various abnormalities like illusions, auditory hallucinations, and even more severe symptoms.
If the soul became abnormal, the whole person might become abnormal, potentially losing themselves and never getting out again.
Chen Yu, at mid-Xuanming cultivation, had a stronger resistance to the Enchanting Fog.
Nearby, the Golden Stone King, as time passed, had already been permeated by a lot of Enchanting Fog. So, any abnormal behavior from him was not surprising.
At this moment, another team appeared not far away, consisting of three Stone Clan members.
The Golden Stone King looked slightly uneasy.
"Do you know them?"
Chen Yu asked.
After all, they were all ancestors of the Stone Clan.
"Yes, a nemesis."
The Golden Stone King replied simply, not pleased.
The three Stone Clan members also noticed Chen Yu and the Golden Stone King. Among them, a towering Stone Giant let his gaze fall upon the Golden Stone King and sneered: "Golden Stone King, youâve really grown bold, coming to the Mihun Mountain Range with just a servant."
Originally, the Golden Stone King did not want to clash with his nemesis, especially since they outnumbered him.
But as soon as his nemesis spoke and insulted Chen Yu, the Golden Stone King found his confidence.
"Giant Martial King, what nonsense are you spouting? Careful, or this king will tear your mouth apart."
He immediately shouted.
On the surface, the Golden Stone King was defending Chen Yuâs honor.
If his nemesis "Giant Martial King" made a move on him, Chen Yu definitely wouldnât ignore it.
"Less trouble, letâs go."
Chen Yu shouted, uninterested in such petty quarrels.
Seeing Chen Yu leaving, the Golden Stone King didnât dare stay behind to argue with the Giant Martial King and promptly followed.
"Damn you, donât run if you have the guts. This king wants to see who exactly will have their mouth torn apart."
The Giant Martial King was taken aback when the Golden Stone King dared to retort, and soon his fury was ignited.
Just as the Giant Martial King was about to pursue, another member of the Stone-man Clan in the group had a slight frown.
At first, he also assumed that the human next to the Golden Stone King was his servant.
But just now, it was that human who acted first, and then the Golden Stone King followed, which was quite intriguing.
"Did you invite me to search for treasure or to seek revenge?"
This Stone-man Clan member spoke indifferently.
The Giant Martial King, who was initially about to dash forward, stopped upon hearing these words.
"Of course, itâs to search for treasure. If âSenior Xuâ is in a hurry, we will take action immediately."
The Giant Martial King grinned obsequiously.
In fact, he also dared to provoke thanks to having two companions, wanting to humiliate the Golden Stone King.
Unexpectedly, "Senior Xu" saw through it, seeming somewhat displeased.
The Giant Martial King had no choice but to drop the matter, as Senior Xu was a "Half-step Xuanming," someone he dared not easily offend.
"If this goes well, and you wish to trouble him later, Young Master Songshan will assist you." .
Another arrogant Stone-man Clan member in the group said.
"Young Master Songshan, itâs a deal."
The Giant Martial King laughed.
In the forbidden land of the Mihun Mountain Range, even those in the Xuanming Realm wouldnât dare be careless, and everyone proceeded slowly.
Half a day passed.
"Still not there?"
Senior Xu asked with a hint of impatience.
"Itâs... weâre almost there, almost there."
The Giant Martial Kingâs forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He had previously heard many rumors and had ventured into the Mihun Mountain Range, encountering a cave where he discovered many rare materials.
But inside the cave, there was a powerful Ghost King who injured him in three moves.
This time he brought two helpers to find that cave again.
Following the route he remembered, he found it no longer existed, or rather it had changed, and the cave was nowhere to be found.
After another half dayâs walk, the Giant Martial King realized he was lost.
"Idiot."
Senior Xu cursed angrily.
Perhaps last time, the Giant Martial Kingâs soul had been infiltrated by the Enchanting Fog, leading to sensory errors.
"Giant Martial King, donât involve me in such matters in the future."
Another Young Master Songshan, also looking impatient.
He had heard from the Giant Martial King about a cave containing treasures, yet it turned out to be a wasted trip.
The Giant Martial King paled, having offended both Senior Xu and Young Master Songshan at once, he was filled with regret.
At this moment, he unexpectedly saw the Golden Stone King and his servant again.
"That fool, the Golden Stone King, wouldnât have known my secret and deliberately followed me, would he?"
The Giant Martial King couldnât bear the sight of the Golden Stone King.
In fact, Chen Yu also noticed that the route map provided by Mu Fu was incorrect.
He wandered around aimlessly and ended up here.
At this moment, he saw a crack on a small mountain ahead, stretching horizontally and over ten zhang long.
"This is identical to the description by Mu Fu of the area where the Enchanting Fog is thin."
Chen Yuâs eyes brightened.
Although the route map was wrong, he had stumbled upon the target point.
According to Mu Fu, by following the crack and moving straight ahead, the Enchanting Fog would be thin all the way, eventually leading to a valley where Mu Fu had gained something.
"Letâs go."
Chen Yu led the Golden Stone King towards the crack.
He could tell that the Giant Martial King and his group hadnât left because they were lost and wouldnât easily depart.
Chen Yu didnât deliberately avoid them; even if they discovered the thin area of the Enchanting Fog, it didnât matter as long as they didnât provoke him.
"Foolish, hiding in the mountain crack, thinking it can avoid the invasion of the Enchanting Fog?"
The Giant Martial King mocked.
The Enchanting Fog enveloped the entire Mihun Mountain Range, getting denser the closer to the center.
"Letâs go take a look."
Senior Xuâs eyes glinted.
The Golden Stone King obviously had a purpose for being here, and now that the Giant Martial King couldnât be relied on, it was better to follow the Golden Stone King and see.
Young Master Songshan also agreed, not wanting to return empty-handed.
The Giant Martial King was embarrassed; he didnât expect that now he had to follow the Golden Stone King and hide in the mountain crack with him.
Yet soon after, he was shocked to find that although there was fog here, it was relatively thin, with minimal infiltration into the soul.
"How does he know the secret here? What else does he know?"
The Giant Martial Kingâs heart was instantly unsettled.
"Giant Martial King, werenât you planning to make a move? Nowâs your chance."
Senior Xu spoke up.
It seemed the Golden Stone King knew some secrets.
Merely following them might lead into their trap; he preferred to control the situation.
The Giant Martial King was overjoyed. Now that Senior Xu agreed for him to trouble the Golden Stone King, he could even gain the Golden Stone Kingâs secrets and extract some benefits.
"Golden Stone King, halt!"
The Giant Martial King immediately charged forward.
Young Master Songshan followed, intending to assist.
"You seem to know some secrets about the Mihun Mountain Range. If you confess everything, I might spare your life."
The Giant Martial King wore an amused smile.
In his view, the Gold Stone King had no other choice.
"My lord, I told you, the Giant Martial King is insatiable; you shouldnât have let him know the secret here."
The Golden Stone King sighed.
The Giant Martial King was infuriated by the Golden Stone Kingâs words.
But he quickly realized something was wrong: the Golden Stone King, at the late stage of Condensed Star, was referring to the young human beside him as "my lord."
It turned out he was mistaken; the person wasnât the Golden Stone Kingâs servant, but his master.
