Everything was arranged, and Murong Baiyun led a group of people, including Zhang Xiaohao, towards the First-tier Sky Canyon.
The First-tier Sky Canyon is at the outer perimeter of the Great Mountain Range.
Even so, the perimeter is inhabited by many powerful monstrous beasts. If someone with weak cultivation steps into the Great Mountain Range, they’ll face near-certain death.
Besides the monstrous beasts, there are many evil cultivators, or ghosts and zombies, often appearing in the Great Mountain Range.
With Zhang Xiaohao, a person of profound strength leading the way, the group encountered no danger and no blind monster dared ambush them.
If any did, Zhang Xiaohao wouldn’t mind slaughtering those beasts.
Murong Baiyun and Zhang Xiaohao’s group stopped at the perimeter of the First-tier Sky Canyon.
"Are we there?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Brother Hao, we are here! As long as you hold the Heavenly Tear, when the night moonlight descends from the sky at dawn, you will be surrounded by a mysterious force and be automatically transported into the sacred ground," Murong Baiyun explained.
"I see!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He found a clean spot, sat down, closed his eyes, and adjusted his mental state.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five and a half hours passed.
Zhang Xiaohao opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, and looked at the moon in the night sky.
"Brother Hao, you’re awake! I was just about to call you," Murong Baiyun said.
"It’s almost time," Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.
"Yes." Murong Baiyun nodded.
They gazed towards the night sky together.
In the night sky, the moonlight inclined with time, and a lazy moonlight descends from the sky.
The moonlight moved east, showering onto the ground.
"Brother Hao, get ready, the sacred ground is about to open! Once it opens, there’s only a minute. If we miss it, we’ll have to wait another ten years!" Murong Baiyun urgently reminded.
"Okay." Zhang Xiaohao nodded, indicating he understood. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
He flipped his palm and took out the Heavenly Tear.
Murong Baiyun patted his storage pouch at his waist and took out eight terrifying masks of Wandering Ghosts.
He handed six terrifying masks of Wandering Ghosts to the three Lolita sisters and the Yellow River Three Elders.
Then, he handed a terrifying mask of Wandering Ghosts to Zhang Xiaohao.
"What’s this?" Zhang Xiaohao asked puzzled.
"Just in case, Brother Hao, it’s better to wear a mask!" Murong Baiyun said.
"No need, I have one myself!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
He casually took out the mask of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven and put it on.
"The moonlight aligns with the ground, Brother Hao, the First-tier Sky has formed, get ready!" Murong Baiyun reminded.
The Lolita sisters and the Yellow River Three Elders quickly gathered around.
Zhang Xiaohao raised the Heavenly Tear towards the sky.
Three beams of moonlight suddenly descended, enveloping the group of eight.
The light flashed, and under the guidance of the mysterious power, the eight disappeared directly.
After a whirlwind, when Zhang Xiaohao and the others reappeared, they were in a massive valley.
The entire valley was black, with black mist soaring into the sky, bringing a terrifying demonic aura directly towards them.
"Hmph! Break for me!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.
He stomped his foot, and a violent aura rose to the sky, directly dispelling the incoming demonic aura.
"Are you sure this is your Murong Family’s sacred ground? Why does it feel somewhat like the mausoleum of a Demon Great Power?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a frown.
The Lolita sisters and the Yellow River Three Elders instinctively gathered around him.
Here, even with their powerful Void Transformation Realm cultivation, under the suppression of these demonic energies, they felt a chill! Under the suppression of the demonic energies, they might at most unleash eighty percent of their power, or even less.
"Brother Hao, to be honest, I’ve never been here. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on!" Murong Baiyun said, embarrassed.
"Damn it! You’re the second young master of the Murong Family’s second branch, and you don’t even know your family’s sacred ground?" Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes.
"Hehe." Murong Baiyun laughed awkwardly.
"Sigh! With no preparation, I really wonder where you got the gall to want to destroy the Murong Family?" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Brother Hao, I was wrong! I admit my mistake, okay?" Murong Baiyun said weakly.
"Fine! Looks like I have to rely on myself." Zhang Xiaohao said.
He swept toward the surroundings with his immense Soul Power.
Centered around Zhang Xiaohao, nothing could escape his eyes within a radius of four miles.
A few minutes later, Zhang Xiaohao withdrew his Soul Power, his face becoming very serious.
"Brother Hao, what’s going on?" Murong Baiyun asked.
"Let me ask you, have you all noticed that under the suppression of these demonic energies, you can at most exert eighty percent of your power? And once your True Qi is depleted, you can’t absorb nature’s spiritual energy to replenish it; you can only recover with elixirs and Spirit Stones." Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
"Ah! Brother Hao, I didn’t notice until you mentioned it, but it’s true! Doesn’t that mean our journey is fraught with danger?" Murong Baiyun said with a frown.
"How many Spirit Stones and True Qi recovery elixirs do you all have?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.
"The three of us brothers only have a dozen True Qi recovery elixirs, and no Spirit Stones!" said the Yellow River Three Elders.
"We sisters are the same!" said the Lolita sisters.
"And you! You’re the second young master of the Murong Family, secretly preparing for years for revenge. Don’t tell me you’re like them." Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Brother Hao, can I say I am?" Murong Baiyun said weakly.
"Damn it! Are you kidding me? Bringing me to the sacred ground and you didn’t bring anything?" Zhang Xiaohao shouted angrily.
If it weren’t in the secret realm, he really couldn’t resist beating him up.
It’s not the godlike enemies you fear, but the pig-like teammates.
"Brother Hao, I was wrong, anything gained after destroying the Murong Family and treasures found in the sacred ground this time, I won’t take a single one!" Murong Baiyun said weakly.
"Damn you!" Zhang Xiaohao said speechlessly.
He reached into his pocket, took out seventy low-grade Spirit Stones, and handed ten to each person.
"Thank you, Brother Hao! You truly are my Brother Hao! Such wealth is no comparison for ordinary people!" Murong Baiyun and others flattered.
The Lolita sisters came over boldly and kissed Zhang Xiaohao on his mask.
