Song Yan said, "This is the best scenario."
An Li said, "What about the bad one?"
Song Yan said, "I sensed something off."
An Li furrowed her brow and thought for a long time, but couldn’t find anything amiss from her memory. She earnestly wanted to pass "Song Yan’s test". She didn’t want to be a burden, nor did she want to be Song Yan’s little pet.
Song Yan smiled and patted her hair, saying, "What have you learned?"
An Li pondered for a while and said, "If I were alone, I definitely wouldn’t come to such a place to stir up trouble."
Song Yan said, "Correct. What else?"
An Li continued, "If I had to come, I would stay in the safest, most convenient spot for escape, never make a scene, otherwise... I would be targeted by someone like you."
After speaking, she curiously asked, "What’s actually wrong here?"
Song Yan said, "Release your Divine Sense, scan to the north, something should be unearthed soon."
...
North of the Ziwu Village.
The loose cultivators were frantically digging, working up quite a sweat.
They had expended a lot of effort, digging hole after hole, yet found nothing useful.
And just then, as one cultivator struck their shovel down, suddenly... a frost-like aura surged out, as if refreshing spring water poured into barren earth, making everyone feel suddenly elated.
The cultivator briefly perceived it and was stunned, quickly looking around. Seeing other cultivators approaching and blazing light shining from all directions, he hastily raised his hand to stop them, "I was the first to dig it up! It’s mine!!"
Suddenly, a mighty presence erupted from the crowd.
The cultivators instinctively moved aside as a burly figure in black armor stepped forward.
The cultivator tried to stop him, but was ruthlessly lifted up by the black-armored figure.
More black-armored figures emerged from the loose cultivators, their clanging armor was enough to unnerve anyone, while the towering bear-like figures, emanating Evil Qi, made it clear these were dangerous people.
A knowledgeable cultivator exclaimed, "West... West Extremity Ancient Country’s Profound Armor Divine Army!!"
The sect system of the West Extremity Ancient Country is quite unique. It doesn’t follow the sect system but rather a military one, with the strongest force being the Profound Armor Divine Army.
The leading black-armored figure coldly glared at the lifted cultivator and said in a deep voice, "This is Formless Ancient Race Territory. Formless Celestial Venerable is on his way, and all discoveries here belong to the Celestial Venerable!!"
His eyes flared with terrifying Evil Qi, angrily throwing that loose cultivator to the ground, saying, "What kind of dog are you? Daring to claim anything here as yours?"
The loose cultivator silently lowered his head.
A nearby cultivator, recognizing the figure, cupped his hands and said, "Could it be Divine Tiger King of the Profound Armor Divine Army in person?"
The leading black-armored figure replied, "The Divine Tiger King is here, but I am merely Dian Kang, an envoy under King!"
With that, he kicked that loose cultivator aside and then said, "Dig! Keep digging!"
The loose cultivator hurriedly seized the opportunity to crawl away, then gritted his teeth, intending to flee.
Dian Kang watched closely, a flash of Evil Qi in his hand knocked him down. Just as he was about to scold, a voice covered the area from afar.
"Everyone... please remain calm. I am the Divine Tiger King."
"Since you are here, you must have heard of my name to some extent."
"Today I am here in place of the Formless Celestial Venerable to oversee this place. Digging here means touching the Celestial Venerable’s belongings, and that is a crime!"
The cold voice, laced with Killing Intent, sent shivers down their spines.
