The deep mountains in the afternoon were still immersed in a lazy silence, when a dazzling ray of light suddenly rose into the sky from somewhere deep in the forest without any warning.

The glow of light was like a wild beast that was finally released after being imprisoned for a long time. It instantly tore through the darkness of the sky and burst out with a majestic and unstoppable force.

Various colors are intertwined, entangled and collided with each other, forming a dreamlike vortex of light, illuminating the entire mountain like a fairyland.

This strange scene instantly broke the tranquility of the mountains. The birds in the forests were frightened and fled in all directions, making sharp cries; the timid beasts hid in the caves, trembling.

And this ray of light, like a powerful signal, passed through layers of mountains and spread to all surrounding areas.

At the same time, in several hidden places in different directions from where the glow appeared, several figures seemed to be summoned by some mysterious power and took action one after another.

On the top of a mountain that towered into the clouds, an old man in a black robe was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The moment the glow of the sunset appeared, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"After ten years of guarding the mountain, I finally waited until today!"

Then, his figure flashed and he rushed towards the direction of the glow like a black lightning.

In a dark valley deep in the mountains, a gigantic monster was resting in a cave. After sensing the unusual breath, it let out a deafening roar towards the sky, then its huge body soared into the air, flapping its wings to cut through the sky and flew towards the source of the glow.

Deep in a dense bamboo forest, a middle-aged man holding a long sword was practicing sword skills. After seeing the rosy glow, he put away the sword without hesitation, tapped the ground with his toes, disappeared into the bamboo forest in a few jumps, and ran quickly towards the direction of the rosy glow.

Some of them are agile in build, others have strong auras. Although they come from different places and have different identities and purposes, at this moment, they are all attracted by this mysterious glow and are converging in the same direction.

In just a moment, the originally quiet sky suddenly changed and several fierce battles broke out!
The old man in black robe was the first to arrive near the source of the rays of light. Mysterious black mist was surging around him, and he was moving through the air like a ghost.

Before he could gain a firm foothold, a sharp gust of wind carrying a pungent fishy smell blew in his face. It was the gigantic monster flapping its wings and swooping down with the force of thunder.

The monster's claws were like sharp daggers, flashing with cold light. It grabbed at the old man fiercely, and the air was torn with a sharp sound wherever it went.

The old man flashed and easily avoided the fierce attack. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Then balls of black flames appeared out of nowhere and coiled towards the monster like snakes.

Seeing this, the monster opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a thick column of flame, which collided with the black flame, making a deafening roar, and flames splashed everywhere, illuminating the entire sky.

At the same time, the middle-aged man holding a long sword also rushed to the battlefield. He stared at the two people fighting with sharp eyes, looking for the opportunity to attack.

Suddenly, he tapped his toes and rushed towards the monster like an arrow. The long sword in his hand flashed with dazzling light, drawing sharp sword shadows and piercing the monster's vital points. The monster felt the threat from behind and hurriedly flapped its wings, stirring up a gust of wind, trying to blow the middle-aged man away.

The middle-aged man was not afraid at all, his sword moves became more and more fierce, his figure moved freely in the strong wind, every swing of the sword was accompanied by powerful force, and he engaged in a fierce confrontation with the monster.

On the other side of the battlefield, several mysterious figures appeared quietly.

They were dressed in strange clothes, holding all kinds of strange weapons in their hands, and their eyes revealed greed and desire.

Without saying a word, they joined the battle and started a melee with the black-robed old man, the middle-aged man and the monster. For a moment, the sound of shouting, the sound of weapons clashing, and the sound of spells being released intertwined in the air, deafening.

Various lights flash, dazzling and gorgeous, but also hiding deadly dangers.

The old man in black robe was dealing with the monster's attack while guarding against the mysterious man's sneak attack, which seemed a bit strenuous. But he was experienced after all, and he remained calm in the face of danger, constantly changing his spells to deal with the enemy.

The middle-aged man used his superb swordsmanship to cut a bloody path through the crowd. His sword moves were getting faster and faster, and each sword carried deadly power.

The monster was not to be outdone, its strength and speed far exceeded those of ordinary people, and it had a certain advantage in the battle. And those mysterious people cooperated tacitly, covering each other, constantly looking for the enemy's flaws and launching a fatal attack.

The battle became more and more intense, both sides tried their best and neither side was willing to give up easily.

The entire sky seemed to be set on fire by the battle, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder.

"Old ghost Huangsha, how about we join forces? If we continue fighting, someone else might take advantage!" The middle-aged man holding a sword dodged the giant bat monster's blade-like claws and shouted loudly to the old man in black robe.

At this time, his clothes had been torn in several places by the aftermath of the battle, his hair was fluttering in the wind, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but his eyes still revealed determination and courage.

The old man in black robe, also known as the Yellow Sand Ghost, flashed in the air and avoided a ball of corrosive green mucus sprayed out by the monster. His brows were furrowed and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

This moment of distraction almost caused him to be hit by the monster's long tail. He quickly retreated several feet, and after stabilizing his body, his eyes glanced back and forth between the middle-aged man and the mysterious people around him who were eyeing him covetously.

The middle-aged man was secretly anxious when he saw that Huangsha Old Ghost did not respond immediately. He took a deep breath, turned the long sword in his hand, brought a sharp sword wind, and swung it fiercely at the giant bat monster. This sword contained all his strength, and wherever the sword passed, the air made a sharp whistling sound.

The giant bat monster felt the powerful threat and flapped its huge wings violently, creating a gust of wind in an attempt to block the middle-aged man's attack.

However, the middle-aged man's sword was too swift. Although the strong wind weakened the sword's power a little, the sword still cut a long gash on the monster's wings, and black blood gushed out immediately.

The monster felt pain and let out a deafening roar. It turned its head angrily, staring at the middle-aged man with a fierce light flashing in its eyes.

Then, it flapped its wings and rushed towards the middle-aged man at an extremely fast speed, opening its bloody mouth, revealing rows of sharp fangs, as if it wanted to swallow the middle-aged man in one bite.

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly when he saw this, but he did not retreat. He tapped his feet lightly, and his figure moved in the air like a ghost, skillfully avoiding the monster's attack.

At the same time, the long sword in his hand kept dancing, and the sword shadows were like weaving, protecting himself tightly.

"Old man Huangsha, the opportunity is fleeting, what are you still hesitating about!"

While dealing with the monster, the middle-aged man shouted to the old ghost Huangsha again.

He knew that with his current strength, it was almost impossible to defeat this powerful monster and the mysterious people around him alone. Only by joining forces with the old ghost Huangsha would there be a glimmer of hope.

Huangsha Laogui was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and he knew very well that what the middle-aged man said was true.

If they continue to fight on their own, they will most likely be defeated one by one by the giant bat monster and the mysterious man. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and finally made a decision. "Okay, I'll trust you for once!"

He shouted loudly, mist rolled around him, and a black ball of light condensed in his hand and shot towards the giant bat monster.

"Humph, a small hidden sect wants to have a piece of the pie?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of disdain and sharpness. He swept his gaze over the crowd, his voice as cold as ice, with innate arrogance and majesty, which was particularly clear in the noisy battlefield.

"Marquis Qianfeng, you kill these people and I will deal with the monsters!" The old ghost Huangsha's voice was full of unquestionable decisiveness and reached Marquis Qianfeng's ears amid the howling wind.

His eyes were fixed on the giant bat monster, and he exuded an aura of determination to win.

"I, old ghost, have been planning for ten years, all for this day!" Huangsha old ghost smiled coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness and determination in his smile. He pointed to the sky with both hands, and a powerful and mysterious force surged out of his body.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, a strong wind swept in, sand and rocks flew, and the terrain of the entire battlefield changed drastically.

The original mountains and landforms were distorted and deformed by the ravages of wind and sand, with gullies crisscrossing and sand dunes rising and falling, as if it had instantly turned into a desolate sea of ​​sand.

Those mysterious people who were caught in the sandstorm suddenly lost their way, shouted in fear, and ran around, but they could not escape the control of the sandstorm.

If the high-ranking officials of Xuntian Sect were present, they would definitely recognize at a glance that this old ghost Huangsha was the Huangsha Hou from back then.

He was promoted to a noble position by virtue of his Shinto cultivation, and his ability to plan and strategize on the battlefield was unparalleled, making him an extremely difficult character. As the power of the Mother Church grew, he defected in order to seize the treasure, and disappeared from the scene, living in seclusion in an unknown place.

His sudden appearance now has made the dispute more complicated and attracted everyone's attention. The meaning behind it is self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Qian Fenghou narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

But the battle situation was too urgent for him to think too much.

He snorted coldly, clenched the sharp knife in his hand, the blade flashed coldly in the sunlight, and rushed towards the people from the hidden small sect who were panicking in the wind and sand like a ghost.

His sword moves swiftly, and every time he swings it brings with it a sharp gust of wind. As the sword flashes, blood splatters and screams are heard.

Those who attacked from the sects had no time to put up an effective resistance and fell one after another under Qian Fenghou's quick sword.

At the same time, the old ghost Huangsha focused all his energy on the giant bat monster.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and controlled the wind and sand in the sky, turning them into sharp wind blades that attacked the giant bat monster like raindrops.

The giant bat monster felt an unprecedented crisis. It roared angrily and flapped its huge wings wildly, trying to disperse the wind blades.

However, the wind and sand formation of the old ghost Huangsha was too exquisite. The wind blades kept attacking, making the giant bat monster exhausted to deal with. Wounds gradually appeared on its body, and black blood kept gushing out, dripping onto the sand and was instantly swallowed by the yellow sand.

The battle became more and more intense, and both sides tried their best.

"This is exactly the place..." Jiang Yue looked at the direction of the yellow sand in the distance, a hint of excitement and expectation flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.

His eyes penetrated the layers of fog, as if he could see the secrets hidden in the wind and sand.

When the rays of light suddenly appeared, he keenly sensed this unusual aura and followed it all the way. Now seeing the yellow sand all over the sky, he became more and more certain that his judgment was correct.

Changing the battlefield layout is not only for self-improvement, but also for concealment.

When ordinary people see such powerful people fighting, the first thing they would think of is probably to stay away.

This won't stop him!

Jiang Yue's pace involuntarily quickened a bit, his figure quickly shuttling through the mountains and forests like an agile cheetah.

The branches scratched his cheeks, leaving tiny scars, but he was unaware of it. He only wanted to get to the battlefield filled with yellow sand as soon as possible.

He knew very well that in that mysterious area, there might be an opportunity to change his destiny.

As the distance shortened, the sounds of battle became clearer. The sounds of weapons clashing, the roars of monsters, and the shouts of people fighting intertwined into a chaotic and intense symphony.

Jiang Yue's heartbeat also quickened. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then approached the battlefield cautiously.

When he finally reached the edge of the battlefield, he was shocked by what he saw.

I saw Old Ghost Huangsha and Marquis Qianfeng engaging in a fierce battle with the giant bat monster and the people from the sects.

In the wind and sand, all kinds of lights flickered and the power of magic surged wildly.

The giant bat monster's huge body tumbled in the air. Each of its attacks carried such powerful force that people around it did not dare to approach easily.

Huangsha Laogui and Qianfenghou cooperated with each other tacitly. One controlled the wind and sand to restrain the movements of the monsters; the other held a sharp blade and rushed left and right in the crowd, killing the enemies.

"You!" Qian Fenghou had just chopped off a man's head, blood splattered on his cold face. At this time, he had no strength left, and suddenly he felt a huge force hitting him from behind.

He was startled and knew without looking back that the person who attacked him was the old ghost Huangsha.

Qian Fenghou's body was unstable and he staggered forward a few steps. He finally steadied himself, his eyes full of anger and disbelief.

Although he had long expected that an alliance with someone like Huangsha Laogui was unreliable, the enemy had clearly not been eliminated yet, and this old ghost actually attacked from behind at this moment!

The old ghost Huangsha had a sinister look on his face. He waved his hands, and the wind and sand swept towards the remaining people of the hidden small sect like a sharp blade. At the same time, he shouted: "Humph, with such a valuable treasure in front of us, how can we have any alliances!"

While attacking others, he kept his eyes on Qian Fenghou vigilantly to prevent him from counterattacking.

The people from the small secluded sects were already being beaten back by the joint attack of Qianfeng Hou and Huangsha Old Ghost, and now they were hit by Huangsha Old Ghost's sudden and brutal move, which immediately threw their formation into chaos and caused heavy casualties.

Qian Fenghou was furious, and he clenched the knife tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force. He glared at Huang Sha Old Ghost and said in a deep voice, "Old Ghost, aren't you afraid of retribution for your treacherous behavior?"

However, the only response he got was a sneer from the old ghost Huangsha.

"You have guarded the mountain for ten years. Do you really think I would share the treasure with others?"

“Only the capable can occupy it!”
