Wang Yichuan saw a small cliff about ten feet tall outside the forest. Inside the cliff was a huge basin that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was filled with long grass that rose and fell with the wind like waves.
Wang Yichuan took out the Source Gem and saw that it was still jumping towards the southwest."Looking at this situation, if we continue to investigate, we will have to cross the basin.”
Just as Wang Yichuan was deep in thought, he heard Commander Duan say,""Your Highness, the grassland below the cliff is endless. If we walk in it, we will easily expose our tracks. In this subordinate's opinion, we might as well take a detour. It's better than revealing our whereabouts.”
Wang Yichuan nodded. Therefore, Commander Duan whispered to the people behind him,""His Highness the Prince has ordered that we must not go down to the basin. The army is marching along the cliff of the basin.”The people behind him passed on the general's orders layer by layer.
Wang Yichuan took another glance at the undulating grassland below the broken cliff. He then led the Hunting Vanguard Army to fly along the broken cliff outside the basin, wanting to bypass the basin and continue their journey.
"Your Highness, please wait. There is something fishy.”Commander Duan suddenly said to Wang Yichuan while they were running.
When Wang Yichuan heard that, he immediately stopped and asked,""What's wrong?"
As Wang Yichuan stopped, the Hunting Vanguard Army behind him also stood still. These nearly two thousand people were orderly and silent, and the quality of their soldiers could be seen.
Commander Duan pointed at the Source Gem in his palm and said to Wang Yichuan,""Your Highness, please take a look. The Source Gem is now jumping in the northeast direction. The Source Gem seemed to be pointing towards the basin.”
When Wang Yichuan heard this, he first looked at the Source Gem and then looked into the basin. He saw a lone peak in the middle of the basin pointing straight at the sky. It was faintly discernible as it was surrounded by thin clouds."Commander Duan, since we know the source, it's easy to handle. Pass down the order, we will advance to the center of the basin! Remember, anything related to our mystical minerals must be thoroughly investigated. This matter concerns the fate of the country. It's extremely important, understand?”
"Yes!" Commander Duan replied respectfully. Then, he turned around and gave the order.
Wang Yichuan looked at the faintly discernible lone peak for a moment before taking a deep breath. He circulated his True Force and rushed into the basin.
After sprinting for a while and getting closer, Wang Yichuan could see clearly that there was a circle of hills in the middle of the basin. The lone peak that pointed straight to the sky rose from the middle of the circle of hills, and it had an extremely majestic aura.
After a while, Wang Yichuan and the rest finally arrived at the top of the hill. They looked down at the terrain within the mountain range. Now that they were close enough, the moon shone brightly in the sky. Wang Yichuan could truly feel that this lone peak that pierced straight into the clouds actually made people feel an inexplicable sense of respect.
At this moment, a scout ran around the ring-shaped mountain range from afar and arrived in front of Wang Yichuan and Commander Duan. After greeting them, he reported,""Your Highness, Commander, I will make a circle around this mountain range. The Source Gem has always been pointing towards this mountain range.”
Commander Duan nodded and dismissed the scout. He said to Wang Yichuan,""Please give the order, Your Highness."
Wang Yichuan pointed at the lone peak in the ring-shaped mountain range and said resolutely,""In that case, let's prepare to climb the peak and thoroughly investigate the secrets within.”Pausing for a moment, he continued,"We don't have many of the three magical arrows we brought with us. Brothers, use them sparingly."”
Commander Duan responded respectfully. He then pointed at the valley and said to Wang Yichuan,""Your Highness, what should we do with those villages?”
Wang Yichuan followed Commander Duan's hand and saw a small village with dozens of families in the valley inside the ring-shaped mountain range.
Wang Yichuan said,"According to the rules, kill them all. Don't let anyone go." If there are beautiful women, they must be captured alive!”
Commander Duan passed the prince's order to the Hunting Spear soldiers and said,""His Highness the Prince has ordered the entire army to advance. After slaughtering the village, we will climb the peak!”
The moment the Hunting Vanguard Army received the order, they immediately rushed towards the village.
Lingxiu Peak was located in the wilderness, and the nearest town to it was Lanshan City. Even so, it was still hundreds of miles away.
Due to the unique terrain of the Exquisite Spirit Peak, the natural true essence that drifted in the world slowly gathered towards it. More than ten years ago, Ye Wenxin, the first person in the world to comprehend the reverse water true essence and become the first heavenly master, chose this place as her secluded place.
In the years that Piaoyun had lived in seclusion, the Spiritual Beauty Peak had been peaceful. However, a group of uninvited guests had barged in.
Tonight, the small village at the foot of Graceful Spirit Peak seemed so peaceful under the gentle moonlight. The villagers had already fallen asleep. The occasional chirping of insects and croaking of frogs in the rice fields added to the peace.
At this moment, hundreds of masked men in black charged into the village with weapons in their hands. They rushed into the houses and attacked the unarmed villagers with weapons in their hands.
However, the expected massacre did not happen. Instead, the group of hunters who broke into the village were thrown out by the villagers.
"What happened?" Wang Yichuan was stunned by the scene in front of him. His face was filled with disbelief. He seemed to be asking his subordinates, but he also seemed to be talking to himself.
"What happened?" The villagers woke up one after another and walked out of their houses one by one. Some of the sleepy villagers asked each other in confusion.
Seeing this, Wang Yichuan had an idea.
He took off his mask and walked forward with a smile."I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone.”
A villager who threw the man in black out frowned and said to Wang Yichuan,""Who are you? What are you trying to do by barging in here?"
Wang Yichuan had a nonchalant expression on his face. He scratched his head with his right hand and smiled." Actually, we are..." He dragged out the last syllable but did not continue.
Seeing Wang Yichuan stutter, the villager said impatiently,""What are you?"
At this moment, Wang Yichuan saw from the corner of his eye that his subordinates had taken the opportunity to move closer to the villagers. His right hand, which was originally scratching his head, suddenly slashed down. Following Wang Yichuan's hint, the Hunting Vanguard suddenly faced a crisis and launched a sneak attack on the villagers.
Who knew that Wang Yichuan's wishful thinking would fail.
The villagers reacted quickly. Just as the Hunting Vanguard Army was about to attack, the five-star Martial Master's True Force rays of various colors surged out of the villagers 'bodies in the blink of an eye, blocking the sneak attack of Wang Yichuan and his group as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the villagers of Lingxiu knew that these men in black were enemies and not friends, so they immediately launched a counterattack. In an instant, the Five-Ray True Force was everywhere as figures flew around and fists and kicks were exchanged. It was a lively battle.
Although the Icy Wind Hunting Vanguard Army had several times more people than the Lingxiu villagers, they were far inferior in terms of cultivation. Not long after, some Hunting Vanguard Army soldiers were knocked down.
Ye Wenxin, whose alias was Piaoyun, studied all kinds of heavenly techniques and also studied ways to let ordinary people cultivate heavenly techniques. Although she had failed, she had unexpectedly found a method to allow ordinary people to cultivate the Five-star True Force, which could be considered a consolation.
Later, Piaoyun taught this method to the villagers below the peak. It could not only strengthen the villagers 'bodies, but also give them the strength to hunt ferocious beasts. They did not expect to encounter bandits trespassing today. The villagers 'years of cultivation could be considered to have come in handy.
The light of the True Force emitted by the villagers was different from that of the martial masters outside. Some of their True Force was darker, some of their True Force was brighter, and some of their True Force was undulating like waves. Correspondingly, these villagers 'True Force was stronger, or had a wider range of effects, or had a longer duration.
Wang Yichuan and Commander Duan saw that their soldiers were gradually at a disadvantage."To think that I'm several times stronger than the enemy, but I'm at a disadvantage. It seems that there's indeed a secret here.”
At this moment, two villagers attacked Wang Yichuan and Commander Duan. The two villagers attacked Wang Duan from the left and right, but they were stopped by several soldiers from the vanguard. One of the villagers turned around and attacked the hunting soldiers who were trying to stop them, while the other continued to attack Wang and Duan.
The villager was furious at Wang Yichuan's previous deception, so he did not show any mercy. Commander Duan saw that the red true energy around the villager was unusually glaring and knew that there must be something special about the newcomer's cultivation. He immediately pulled Wang Yichuan behind him and after circulating his cultivation, he raised his palms and struck at the villager with all his strength.
Commander Duan didn't protect himself and instead attacked with all his strength. This was called using merit to defend, so the villager had no choice but to defend. As long as they could stop this villager, the soldiers would come to help.
As expected, the villager saw that Commander Duan's palm strike was extremely powerful. He knew that if he continued to attack Wang Yichuan, even though he could kill Wang Yichuan, he would inevitably be seriously injured and die. Hence, he immediately pushed out both palms.
With a whistling sound, the villager and Commander Duan's palms collided and their True Force collided.
The villager borrowed the force of the rebound and floated back to help his companions who were being surrounded. Commander Duan spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated several steps before he stabilized himself. He was secretly shocked."What a dense palm force!"
At this moment, Commander Duan couldn't see the Prince and immediately became anxious.
Just as Commander Duan was panicking, he saw Wang Yichuan lying about ten feet away. It turned out that the villager's Fire True Force was extremely dazzling, and the range of his attack was far wider than that of ordinary Fire Martial Masters. Although Wang Yichuan did not fight the villagers head-on, he was also affected by the palm strike. He was thrown ten feet away by the huge force and fainted.
Commander Duan saw that the Prince was beaten to the point where he did not know if he was dead or alive. He was anxious and flustered. He immediately ordered the Hunting Vanguard Army to use crossbows to fight the enemy. He wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.
The soldiers of the Hunting Vanguard Army took the time to pull out their crossbows and shoot at the villagers.
For a moment, a storm of arrows silently shot toward the villagers. They were the crystal arrows that had killed Fan Mingshan and Leng Hongying.
This arrow was called the White Shadow. Not only did it make no sound after it was shot, but it could also pierce through solid stone and steel as if they were nothing. Not only that, once the arrow was shot out, even if it encountered external forces, it could not cause the arrow to deviate in the slightest. Only when the arrow's strength was exhausted did it fall.
Just as the villagers were about to be pierced by the Shadow Arrows, nearly a hundred water cocoons with a dark blue luster suddenly appeared out of thin air and surrounded the villagers. It was the Water Curtain Heavenly Flower of the Reverse Water Heavenly Art.
Those menacing white shadow arrows unsurprisingly broke through the water curtain heavenly flower and continued to fly like snakes, but suddenly disappeared.
It turned out that the water cocoon formed by the Water Curtain Sky Flower was divided into three layers. The outer layer was made of ordinary water currents, which rapidly rotated and repelled the incoming attacks. The layer sandwiched in the middle was "Dark Water". Dark Water had extremely corrosive properties. Anything that came into contact with the Dark Water would be dissolved.
The arrows shot into the water curtain heavenly flower and were dissolved by the nether water in the blink of an eye. They could no longer endanger the lives of the villagers protected by it.
Commander Duan was stunned when he saw that the White Shadow Arrow had lost its effect. This was unprecedented. He also saw that the villagers protected by the Water Curtain Sky Flower ignored Wang Yichuan and the other intruders. They all knelt to the sky and their pious voices grew louder. He was even more surprised.
At this moment, a cold snort came from the sky. The Hunting Vanguard soldiers looked up and saw a beautiful woman with sparkling water wings on her back. She was slowly flapping her wings.
The eyes of the woman standing in the air were aqua blue. The reverse water true essence around her was so dense that it was almost visible to the naked eye.
