Chapter 447: This Mountain Does Not Look Like A Mountain
The Fortune Beasts ran forward tirelessly, crossing several Death Rifts in a row.

Yu Zhao and Ancestor Sui Bian went from joy at the beginning to more and more serious expressions later on.

Ancestor Sui Bian lowered his voice and said to Yu Zhao: “Something is wrong. There are more and more people.”

The dark mass of people stretched as far as the eye could see.

Greed and excitement flashed in everyone’s eyes.

Ancestor Sui Bian did not dare imagine what insane things these people would do when the ultimate treasure appeared.

Yu Zhao was not confident either and answered quietly: “If things turn bad when the time comes, please remember to take me and hide far away.”

Ancestor Sui Bian seemed surprised that Yu Zhao would say something like this. He paused, then nodded in relief and said: “Good child, this Ancestor will definitely protect you when the time comes.”

Yu Zhao was just about to say a few nice words to coax the old man when she suddenly caught a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Her gaze swept over.

Huo Shao Yan wore a long face and was muttering about something.

Next to him stood Shui Qiu Bai and Jin Yuan.

Yu Zhao glanced again around them but did not see Feng Jiu Si or Tu Xiao.

Because Yu Zhao’s gaze had lingered a bit, Ancestor Sui Bian casually asked: “What are you looking at?”

Yu Zhao did not hide anything and said: “I saw the young heirs of the Jin, Shui, and Huo Clans.”

Yu Zhao had never hidden her past experiences, so as soon as Ancestor Sui Bian heard this, he understood who she meant. His eyes widened as he asked: “Where?”

Yu Zhao pointed out their location for him.

The Ancestor snorted angrily and was about to rush over to beat them.

Yu Zhao quickly stopped him and, after much persuasion, finally made him give up the idea.

Now was not the time to vent anger.

They needed to find the ultimate treasure first.

Another dozen or so days passed.

The number of cultivators had already grown so great that there was no end to them in sight.

At the same time, the number of Fortune Beasts kept rising.

Fortune Beasts from all the different Land Fragments gathered together after running a long distance, forming a spectacular scene.

The crowd’s enthusiasm did not fade. It was like a blazing fire, burning ever brighter.

Shouts and chatter wove together and echoed through the air.

Yu Zhao finally saw Feng Jiu Si and Tu Xiao, whom she had suspected had met with trouble.

Not only were the two completely unharmed, they had even rejoined Jin Yuan’s group of three. Yu Zhao could not help but sigh inwardly at how great their luck was.

Besides them, Yu Zhao also saw the young woman from the Nan Gong Clan who had beaten people at Sacred Wood Star Harbor, and the sweet-looking female cultivator who had killed her companions and run off with the treasure.

Almost everyone had gathered.

A vague feeling rose in Yu Zhao’s heart.

The treasure should be about to appear.

Sure enough, after passing through another Death Fissure, they arrived at a place that was very different from the other Land Fragments.

This place was like a corner forgotten by time, extremely barren, with not a single blade of grass to be seen.

The ground was covered with deep and shallow ravines crisscrossing in all directions. Some looked like they had been carved by sharp weapons, while others looked like huge palm prints or footprints.

In the very center of this barren land, a tall mountain towered.

Once the Fortune Beasts reached this Land Fragment, they seemed to have finished some kind of mission. They knelt on the ground and did not move forward anymore.

After the cultivators landed on this Land Fragment one after another, they saw the Fortune Beasts’ actions and seemed to take it as a sign. They rushed madly toward that high mountain.

In a flash, the once quiet and barren space was filled with the sound of wind howling past.

Yu Zhao and Ancestor Sui Bian also mixed into the crowd, but both of them stayed alert and did not dare get too close to the front. They stayed in the middle of the group.

A few breaths later, the blurry outline of the mountain slowly became clear, and a bone-white mountain body suddenly broke into everyone’s view.

Several cultivators racing at the very front suddenly slowed their flight. The ones behind them reacted a step too late and almost crashed into them, causing a brief commotion in the crowd.

Someone exclaimed in alarm: “What is this creepy place? Why does it look so strange?”

Another person shouted: “This mountain does not look like a mountain. It looks more like a pile of bones.”

Someone else said in confusion: “Do you feel that your spirit power is moving more slowly?”

There were very few true idiots among cultivators.

Even if greed had made them lose their heads, now that they were in such a strange place, the wariness and fear suppressed deep in their hearts rose up again.

Especially when they stood on this Land Fragment and found that their Spirit Power was flowing more and more slowly through their meridians, as if some invisible force were secretly restraining it, panic began to sprout and spread in their hearts like wild grass.

No one dared take another step toward Bone Mountain.

At this moment, Ancestor Sui Bian quietly shot Yu Zhao a look.

Yu Zhao nodded in understanding.

If anything went wrong, she would turn and run without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if Bone Mountain sensed the cultivators’ mood. It suddenly began to shake violently, and in an instant a long crack spread from the foot of the mountain up to the peak, quickly branching out like a spider web.

At the same time, thin threads of red liquid seeped from the cracks, carrying a strange smell.

Yu Zhao was a master of Incense Crafting.

As soon as she saw the red liquid appear, she knew something was wrong. She reminded Ancestor Sui Bian to quickly seal his five senses while she pulled from her Storage Space one of the Fragrance-Clearing Sachets she had made before and shoved it into his hand.

Right after she finished all this, a cry of alarm suddenly sounded from ahead.

Then, like a chain reaction, the cultivators standing at the very front near Bone Mountain began to fall from the sky like dumplings dropping into a pot.

Soon after, the cultivators behind them also began to sway unsteadily.

More and more people felt that something was wrong and instinctively tried to flee. But they had barely flown any distance when the Spirit Power in their bodies suddenly went out of control, and they fell like kites with their strings cut.

Someone screamed in panic: “My Spirit Power! My Spirit Power is gone!”

Another voice shouted in fear: “What is going on? Why is this happening!”

Yet another person roared in fury: “A trap! It must be a trap! Damn it, we have been tricked!”

The crowd instantly fell into chaos.

Yu Zhao had thought that she reacted fast enough and had made countermeasures, so she believed she would not fall into the trap.

But to her surprise, she was still affected. The only thing to be thankful for was that her Spirit Power had not been completely sealed. A thin layer of it remained that she could still control.

Ancestor Sui Bian was in the same state.

The two of them exchanged a meaningful look, then imitated the people around them and fell down in a crooked, unsteady way.

There were tens of thousands of cultivators present, and quite a few of them, like Yu Zhao, had made preparations beforehand.

Some chose, like Yu Zhao, to hide their strength and keep a low profile within the crowd, while others still held themselves high and aloof above everyone else.

Yu Zhao saw the red-haired young woman from the Nan Gong Clan standing in midair, looking down on the world.

Nan Gong Jie looked up at Nan Gong Yin, who had been pressing him down since they were young, and his fists slowly clenched.

No matter when, Nan Gong Yin was always the center of attention.

With her there, no one would see his efforts no matter what he did.

Even here in Godsfall Land, Nan Gong Yin still had to steal his spotlight.

[Nan Gong Yin, why have you still not died!]
