Chapter 534 Undercurrents in Motion!
No matter if they were ordinary people who came to see the spectacle, or martial artists looking for treasures on Qiankun Mountain, the vast majority were at the front of the mountain.
At this time, on the side of Qiankun Mountain, inside the scenic area barrier, stood eight martial artists.
From their positioning, the man and woman standing in front were clearly the leaders of this team, while the six martial artists behind them were their followers.
This man and woman, the man handsome and the woman beautiful, had very similar features between their brows, obviously brother and sister.
“Brother, this broken mountain doesn’t look like it’s hiding any treasures no matter how you look at it. Do we really need to go up there?” the girl said with a lollipop in her mouth.
The man turned to look at the girl and said, “Nan’er, you need to change this lazy personality of yours. We’re just stopping by to take a look, we don’t necessarily need to have treasure to…”
“Alright, alright, Yu Shijie, you’re really getting more and more long-winded, becoming more like mom!” the girl impatiently interrupted the man’s lecture.
“You!” Yu Shijie glared at Yu Nan, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t speak.
He knew his sister’s personality very well.
If he continued, she would definitely throw a tantrum.
“Regardless, since we’re already here, we should at least go up and look around. If we really do find some treasure, the elders in the clan will surely praise us,” Yu Shijie said.
“Hmph, bootlicker, always trying to please those old folks,” Yu Nan said disdainfully, giving Yu Shijie a side-eye.
Yu Shijie’s face twitched, but he said nothing.
The six followers behind them, however, showed slight changes in their expressions.
In the entire Yu family, only Yu Nan had the guts to call the clan elders “old folks.”
“Let’s stop talking and prepare to climb the mountain,” Yu Shijie, truly afraid of Yu Nan’s mouth, immediately changed the subject.
…
At a lake’s distance from Yu Shijie’s team, another group of five people appeared.
These martial artists all wore black robes with a golden ‘Luo’ character embroidered on their chests.
These black-robed martial artists had stern expressions and powerful presences, subtly emanating a murderous aura.
“Our luck is good. We just came to Xiang City to attend a birthday banquet, and we encountered such a spectacle,” said the man standing at the front of the team, his lips curling into a slight arc.
This man appeared quite young, with defined features and extremely sharp eyes.
“Young Master, I heard that the brother and sister from the Yu family have also come,” a martial artist from behind stepped forward and said quietly.
“Oh?” The man turned to look at this subordinate, his eyes narrowing, and asked, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, the subordinate I sent to track them just sent back the message,” this subordinate answered.
The man’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, then relaxed again. His mouth opened into a cold and eerie smile.
“Heaven is treating me well, giving me such a good opportunity…” the man let out a laugh, “Today, I, Luo Teng, will thoroughly wash away the humiliation the Luo family has suffered!”
…
The sun was high in the sky, sunlight spreading across the ground, and the temperature was very high.
But the people gathering at the foot of Qiankun Mountain were growing more and more numerous.
And the phantom on Qiankun Mountain remained standing there as before, with a very stable human-shaped outline, its head almost touching the clouds in the sky.
“The effect is better than I imagined.” On a signal tower two kilometers away from Qiankun Mountain stood a graceful figure.
Looking at the growing crowd at the foot of Qiankun Mountain, the woman revealed a vicious smile.
Her scheme was quite successful.
Creating a huge phantom not only attracted martial artists to come, but also absorbed a large number of ordinary people!
Afterward, she just needed to find a way to create a disaster!
After today, at least half of the Immortal King’s blood and flesh requirements would be satisfied!
“Well done,” the Immortal King’s voice sounded in the woman’s mind as she was thinking.
All those with Immortal Clan bloodlines were part of its body.
Everything the woman saw and perceived was under the Immortal King’s control.
Obviously, the Immortal King also saw the large crowd of people.
“King, we must use some of the Immortal Clan’s power today, otherwise it will be difficult to kill so many people in a short time,” the woman said.
“Mm, I allow it,” the Immortal King said.
“Thank you for your trust, King,” the woman bowed to the void.
…
At the foot of the mountain, ordinary people were still taking photos, while various martial artists were heading up Qiankun Mountain.
Martial artists with high cultivation directly flew using qi, while those with lower cultivation ran.
They rushed forward, fearing that the treasures on the mountain would be taken by others first.
Just as the crowd of martial artists was climbing the mountain, at the top of the mountain, beneath that huge phantom, two figures flashed into view.
It was Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue.
The two fell from mid-air and landed steadily on the rocks at the top of the mountain.
“Is this… Qiankun Mountain?” Ye Shengxue looked around, seeing the crowd below that looked like ants.
Before today, she had never seen teleportation magic, let alone performed it.
Crossing hundreds of kilometers in an instant was something she had never even thought about before!
But now, she had actually done it.
From Nandu to the top of Qiankun Mountain in western Xiang City, it only took one or two seconds!
Ye Shengxue was both excited and shocked, unable to speak for a moment.
After landing, Fang Yu first looked up at the towering phantom that reached the clouds, then looked around.
Soon, he discovered four glowing stones.
These four stones were a simple magical artifact, collectively called imaging stones. They were located at the four corners of the mountaintop, serving as projectors.
The huge phantom in the sky was projected by these four stones.
Immortal?
Bullshit.
However, on this point, Fang Yu already had a clear answer in his mind.
He came to Qiankun Mountain not for this phantom, but to find out if there were really any treasures emerging on this mountain.
Now standing on the top of Qiankun Mountain, he did sense a special aura.
This aura emanated from below, from inside Qiankun Mountain.
Sensing this aura, Fang Yu abandoned the idea of going home immediately.
“The aura emanating from inside the mountain is a bit strange. Could this mountain be hollow?” Fang Yu frowned slightly, raised his foot, and stomped down with a bit of force.
“Bang!”
Gravel splattered, and a medium-sized depression appeared where his foot had stomped.
From the strength of the mountain rock, there didn’t seem to be any major issues.
But the aura was indeed coming from the mountain rock beneath his feet.
Fang Yu frowned, thinking.
Who placed four imaging stones on the mountaintop to create such a huge phantom?
What was this person’s purpose?
Was the aura emanating from inside Qiankun Mountain also fabricated?
Fang Yu had many doubts that needed to be analyzed one by one.
First, what was the purpose of creating such a large phantom?
Obviously, it was to attract others to come.
The large group of ordinary people at the foot of the mountain, as well as the martial artists rushing to the top, were all attracted by this phantom.
Among the martial artists, there were even rumors that this was an immortal’s phantom, which increased the attraction even more.
What was the purpose of attracting so many martial artists and ordinary people?
If there really was some treasure on this mountain, wouldn’t it be better to take it quietly? Why announce it widely and create such a large phantom to attract others?
Could the condition for opening the treasure be that a large number of martial artists are needed?
No, such a strange condition shouldn’t exist.
So, he had to think about the original purpose.
Attracting more people…
Fang Yu suddenly remembered the berserk martial artists he had eliminated recently.
In an instant, he understood the meaning behind this whole affair.
This was a plot by the Immortal Clan!
Attract people to one place, then find a way to kill them all, thereby obtaining a large number of corpses!
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking toward the foot of the mountain.
There were at least eight or nine thousand ordinary people at the foot of the mountain, maybe even over ten thousand.
And many more people were heading to this place.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu extended his finger and shot a beam of true qi at one of the stones.
“Boom!”
The four imaging stones exploded one after another.
The human-shaped phantom in the sky first flickered violently, then suddenly disappeared!
The crowd of people taking photos at the foot of the mountain let out confused sounds.
“Why did that phenomenon disappear!?”
