278: Their overwhelming strength frightened the crowd away.

"It seems it's just lacking Qi; it shouldn't be damaged."

Su Yun took out a large number of Spirit Stones and began to activate the Formation on the ground.

As a large amount of Qi was injected, the formation patterns on the ground began to emit a dazzling light, and then a powerful spatial fluctuation was released from the center of the Formation.

"Let's go."

Su Yun was the first to step into the teleportation array.

Chu Ningyue took Xiaodie and also entered the teleportation array.

With a flash of light, the three disappeared from the spot, leaving only the empty Yanguang Cave... Yanguang Mountain.

Halfway up the mountain.

A group of Cultivators were fighting each other, blocking one another's progress.

Because Yanguang Mountain had a natural Air-ban Formation, and the higher one went, the more precious the Heaven And Earth Treasures that grew there became. There was only one safe path leading to the summit; other paths were prone to encountering powerful Yao Beasts, as well as many natural traps and thick poisonous mist. Although there were also Heaven And Earth Treasures there, they couldn't compare to those in the summit area and were much further away.

Therefore, a large number of Cultivators wanted to go up via this relatively safe path, taking the Heaven And Earth Treasures from the summit area first before searching elsewhere.

"Don't block the way! Let us go up first, the Heaven And Earth Treasures at the summit are ours!"

"Don't even think about it; if anyone is going up, it's our Li Family first!"

"And our Liu Family! Move aside quickly, or we won't be polite!"

Dozens of Cultivators were engaged in a fierce fight, with various spiritual lights flashing and powerful Spells constantly exploding in the air.

Among them, Wu Xingchuan was leading a group of Treasure Pavilion Cultivators in battle against other families. Although this Secret Realm was controlled by the Treasure Pavilion, many of these families were branches of Great Cultivation Families from the Central Domain and were not afraid of the Treasure Pavilion at all.

Just as everyone was fighting tooth and nail, a few sharp-eyed Cultivators noticed that three Cultivators had already moved ahead.

"Stop fighting!"

"Someone is going up!"

"If you keep fighting, the Heaven And Earth Treasures will be taken by others!"

These Cultivators hurriedly shouted.

"What?"

"They actually tried to sneak ahead while we weren't paying attention?"

"They really don't take us seriously!"

The dozens of Cultivators stopped fighting and rushed forward in a swarm.

"Is that Miss Chu?"

Wu Xingchuan immediately recognized the identities of the three people in front.

At this time, the nearby Treasure Pavilion Cultivators quickly asked:

"Brother Wu, should we go and protect Miss Chu?"

"I don't think it's necessary. The strength of the Young Master beside Miss Chu is unfathomable. These people probably won't even be able to take a single blow."

After Wu Xingchuan finished speaking, he also led the other Treasure Pavilion Cultivators forward slowly... "This is the mountainside of Yanguang Mountain; we actually teleported here?"

Chu Ningyue said with some surprise.

She had thought they would be teleported to the clearing where the previous passage was located!

She didn't expect to arrive directly at the mountainside.

This was also for the best, as the Heaven And Earth Treasures near the summit were the most precious.

Since they had spent some time in the mysterious Immortal Cave, the Heaven And Earth Treasures below the mountainside had likely already been picked clean by other Cultivators. Teleporting directly to the mountainside saved them some travel time.

"Let's go."

Su Yun flickered toward the summit, simultaneously releasing his Divine Sense to check for any Heaven And Earth Treasures in the vicinity.

Chu Ningyue and the other girl followed closely behind.

Just then, over a dozen Cultivators from the Four Great Families of Wanbao City followed them directly, saying in an arrogant tone:

"Stop right there! You few actually dared to sneak ahead while we weren't looking."

Seeing that Su Yun's group of three ignored them, they instantly became enraged:

"Hmph, you dare to ignore our words!"

"Die!"

The dozen or so Cultivators directly launched an attack, releasing over a dozen Spells toward Su Yun's group.

"So much nonsense!"

Su Yun turned around and said indifferently.

Immediately after, he suddenly threw a punch, and powerful Hegemon Power was released, transforming into thousands of strands of White Fist Light. In an instant, the white spiritual light illuminated the area for miles around, and the dozen or so Cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm were directly blown to pieces by the White Fist Light.

The dozens of Cultivators not far away were instantly terrified, their bodies trembling and their faces pale. They had originally intended to charge forward aggressively, but after seeing Su Yun's terrifying strength, they were all too scared to speak. They stood frozen on the spot, afraid to move for fear of being noticed by Su Yun.

"So strong, so handsome."

Standing to the side, Chu Ningyue looked at Su Yun with burning eyes, thinking to herself.

A moment later, Su Yun continued toward the summit, with Chu Ningyue and the other girl following closely behind.

At this time, the other Cultivators didn't even dare to breathe. Only after standing there and watching the three figures fade into the distance did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"I think the Heaven And Earth Treasures near this mountainside are pretty good; I'll just explore around here."

"Oh, right, I remember there are still many places at the foot of the mountain that haven't been explored. I'll go explore the base!"

Hundreds of Cultivators didn't dare to continue to the summit, making excuses to explore other directions of Yanguang Mountain. Although the Heaven And Earth Treasures elsewhere weren't as precious as those in the summit area, at least they would have some harvest. If they followed that ruthless man just now, not only would they have no harvest, but they would likely lose their lives as well.

Soon, the large group of Cultivators scattered and left, leaving only the Treasure Pavilion team led by Wu Xingchuan.

"Brother Wu, where do we go now? Are we following Miss Chu to the summit?"

A sturdily built Treasure Pavilion Cultivator asked directly.

Wu Xingchuan shook his head and said helplessly:

"Follow her for what? Miss Chu already said she doesn't need us following her, and we shouldn't disturb her."

"So we will also explore near the mountainside. Although it can't compare to the summit area, there are still many Heaven And Earth Treasures."

Subsequently, the Treasure Pavilion group headed off to explore other areas of the Yanguang Mountain mountainside... Wanbao City.

A luxurious spirit boat flew in from afar and landed directly at the main entrance of the Treasure Pavilion. Then, an elegant middle-aged man in blue clothes stepped off the spirit boat, followed by dozens of Cultivators.

"Chief Pavilion Master!"

The dozen or so guards outside the Treasure Pavilion said respectfully.

"Mm, is Chen Yan here?"

Chu Duanjiang said with a grim face.

The guards quickly said:

"He is. The Pavilion Master seems to be in his own room."

"Good, then we'll go in now."

Chu Duanjiang entered the Treasure Pavilion directly.

He had originally thought that after arriving here, he would need to spend some time searching for Chen Yan.

After all, after failing to act against his daughter, Chen Yan might have gone into hiding.

But to his surprise, Chen Yan was so emboldened that he didn't even hide.

Did he really think he was the same old Chu Duanjiang?

Soon, Chu Duanjiang arrived outside Chen Yan's room.

At this time, Chen Yan had also received word from the guards and came out with a beaming smile to welcome Chu Duanjiang.

"Chief Pavilion Master, I hope you have been well. It's been a long time!"

"Indeed, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to hide so deeply!"

Chu Duanjiang gave a cold snort.

"Chief Pavilion Master, what are you talking about?"

Chen Yan leaned on his cane and said with some confusion.

As long as he didn't admit it, Chu Duanjiang couldn't do anything to him.

It had always been this way.

"Seize him!"

Chu Duanjiang had no intention of bickering with Chen Yan. With a single command, he and two other Cultivators in the Enlightenment Realm struck simultaneously.

"You... actually moved against me directly?"

Only then did Chen Yan react, but it was too late. He had rarely fought with others and his strength was average, so he was seized directly without any power to resist.

A short while later, Chu Duanjiang sat in the Pavilion Master's main hall of the Treasure Pavilion, looking into the distance and murmuring:

"I wonder if Ninger will be in danger while exploring the Secret Realm. She must have suffered a lot!"
