650: The gates to the forbidden area have been opened!

In the world of Cultivators, time is always fleeting.

A mere 10 days passed in a flash.

Under the night sky, dark clouds rolled.

The entire night sky of Storm City seemed to be enveloped by endless darkness.

A dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

The originally silent world seemed to be torn open by a crack at this moment!

"What happened? A very strong light came from over there."

Some Cultivators noticed the change outside immediately and quickly walked out of their residences.

Of course, this was not an isolated phenomenon.

Throughout Storm City, whether in taverns, inns,

or some manors, figures appeared in mid-air, looking up at the pitch-black sky.

Rumble!

Deafening thunder echoed in the sky, like muffled drums resounding across the land.

The night sky seemed to be torn apart by a bright light, and a brilliant horizontal line appeared between heaven and earth.

Some people were surprised to find that the sky seemed to have changed at this moment.

"The Forbidden Ground Gate! It has opened!"

An elder master exclaimed, a look of shock flashing in his eyes, which then turned into ecstasy.

The so-called Forbidden Ground Gate is the portal to the Forbidden Land Battlefield.

Only by passing through the Forbidden Ground Gate can one enter the Forbidden Land Battlefield.

"Strange, the Forbidden Ground Gate seems to have opened earlier this time. And its scale looks larger than before. Could it be that some unusual change has occurred inside?"

A Cultivator said, looking at the horizontal line between heaven and earth in surprise.

Those with such insight were clearly people who had some understanding of the Forbidden Land Battlefield, perhaps even having participated in it and survived.

"This is a precursor to the opening of the Forbidden Ground Gate; it hasn't truly begun yet, but it's close."

A master noticed a blurry layer of web appearing within the Forbidden Ground Gate.

To the naked eye, it was a thin layer, separating the Forbidden Land Battlefield from this world.

The rumbling in the sky gradually grew louder, and the eyes of the Cultivators waiting in Storm City became increasingly fervent.

The more frequent the changes in heaven and earth, the faster the Forbidden Land Battlefield would open.

At this moment, besides the Cultivators in Storm City who could witness this scene,

far to the north of Storm City, in a place of extreme abyss, snow flew everywhere, frost fell, condensing into ice crystals.

This world seemed to be composed of ice crystals, filled with Ice Cold Qi.

Amidst this harsh environment, a group of people were staring at the darkness above their heads.

A burly man holding a peculiar short staff withdrew his gaze.

"Clan Chief, the Divine War Land is about to open. It seems this time, the people we have to face will be even more difficult to deal with."

Behind the middle-aged man,

a stooped old man said in a deep voice.

This is the Ice Cold Abyss.

And they, having always paid attention to Storm City, naturally knew how many masters had arrived there now.

These masters were all their opponents.

If Shen Tianxing were here, he would surely recognize the black-robed figure behind the Clan Chief.

It was precisely the mysterious person who had come to Storm City and met him before.

"The Divine War Land is about to open. This time, even more Cultivators have come than last time. I wonder if those people will be drawn here again."

Wen Jiu said with some worry, a hint of concern in his eyes.

Their clan had some ties to the Divine War Land.

Every hundred thousand years, they would send masters into the Divine War Land, which is also the Forbidden Land Battlefield.

To search for the ruins left by their ancestors in those years.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, they had obtained many Opportunities from within, which allowed the clansmen in the Ice Cold Abyss to continue their lineage safely.

Otherwise, with their clan's reproductive capacity, they could not compare to the people outside.

How could they possibly withstand the attacks from Storm City?

"Thirteenth Protector."

Suddenly, Wen Jiu's voice rang out from the front. The black-clad man named Thirteenth Protector quickly stepped out from the crowd and respectfully bowed.

"Clan Chief."

Wen Jiu glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Where is the person I asked you to invite a few months ago?"

Lin Shisan's body trembled; he had been worrying about this matter.

A few months ago, when he went to Storm City to look for Shen Tianxing,

he gave a treasure from the clan to Shen Tianxing, inviting him to come to the clan to meet the Clan Chief.

At that time, Shen Tianxing indeed agreed.

He had thought that Shen Tianxing would come to the Ice Cold Abyss before the Forbidden Land Battlefield opened.

Unexpectedly, until now, there had been no news from Shen Tianxing.

He was a little worried, wondering if the gift the Clan Chief had given was like a meat bun thrown to a dog, never to return?

"Clan Chief, that young man surnamed Shen has not come to the Ice Cold Abyss, nor has there been any news of him. However, I have left informants in Storm City, and as soon as there is news of him, it will be relayed to the clan immediately."

Lin Shisan felt very helpless at this moment.

After all, he was not very familiar with Shen Tianxing.

He had only given his own treasure to Shen Tianxing to fulfill the Clan Chief's order.

Otherwise, on that day in Storm City, he might not have been able to return.

However, he still held a glimmer of hope.

Shen Tianxing, who had received the treasure, did not refuse to come to the clan to meet their Clan Chief; instead, he gave him a definite answer.

During this time, he had been sending people to inquire about Shen Tianxing's whereabouts, but no news had ever come.

Now it seemed that Shen Jianxin either had not returned yet, or he had forgotten their agreement.

If it really came to that point, how they would get along with Shen Tianxing once they entered the Forbidden Land Battlefield would become a very big problem.

Because of their hostile relationship with Storm City, their clan did not want to see Shen Tianxing stand with Lei Shan.

Wen Jiu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He fell into silence.

It was his idea to befriend Shen Tianxing.

It was also his idea to give away their clan's treasure.

No matter whether Lin Shisan could handle this matter well or not, he could not blame him.

"Whether he comes or not, it doesn't matter."

"Now, the portal to the Divine War Land has gradually opened. Tomorrow is when we enter the Divine War Land. Now, this old man no longer has time to meet him."

"However, if you encounter Shen Tianxing after entering the Divine Treasure Land, try to be careful and avoid him. If possible, you must also find out what his relationship with Storm City is? And what is his attitude towards us?"

This concerned the survival of the Ice Cold Abyss clan.

Shen Tianxing, this mysterious young man, was not only powerful but also an outsider, making him their best potential partner. If possible, he absolutely did not want to see Storm City reach a cooperation with him and then turn against them.

The Ice Cold Abyss clan could not afford any losses now.

As a Protector, Lin Shisan naturally knew the problems their clan currently faced.

After hearing the Clan Chief's words, he respectfully nodded in agreement.

"Clan Chief, please rest assured, I believe Shen Tianxing is not someone who goes back on his word. If I encounter him after entering the Divine War Land, this old man will certainly ascertain his attitude."

"Good, then I'll leave it to Thirteenth Protector."
