324: The God's Hand Valley Incident

“It seems they know what’s inside.”

“Should we keep watching?”

Mu Feng used his Divine Sense to eavesdrop on their conversation.

From their talk, it seemed there was something extraordinary hidden inside.

Furthermore,

Mu Feng also gained another piece of information:

besides this old man, other Nascent Soul Old Monsters had also infiltrated the Trial Tournament.

This news was not good for Mu Feng.

Too many Nascent Soul Old Monsters might affect his plan to acquire treasures.

“Forget it, they’re already on alert. It’s better not to provoke these Nascent Soul Old Monsters for now.”

Shaking his head,

Mu Feng decided not to bother with this matter anymore.

Although his current methods meant he no longer feared any Nascent Soul Cultivator,

who knew if those Old Monsters had any trump cards?

It wouldn’t be good if he got himself killed foolishly.

It was better to develop cautiously first.

He needed to keep his points in the top three or first place.

Then he could talk about getting the Nascent Soul Opportunity from this Trial Tournament.

He had already fallen far behind because he was Cultivating the Divine Origin Skill.

His points had already dropped to seven or eight hundred.

There was no need to waste more time peeking at others.

The right path was to quickly improve his point ranking.

Thinking this,

Mu Feng withdrew his Divine Soul back into his body.

He no longer paid attention to the situation there.

He chose a direction

and rushed towards the core area.

These outer and inner layers were just small-time stuff.

The core area was where he could truly show his skills.

Moreover, Mu Feng had already chosen the location.

It was the Purple Bamboo Forest, one of the two deadly zones in the Trial Tournament.

There were many Yao Beasts there, and while killing them to obtain Materials, he could also allow the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword to devour and advance.

Killing two birds with one stone.

.....

As Mu Feng piloted the Gale Boat with his two pets towards the core area,

inside Shenshou Valley,

the Strong Man and the others successfully broke through the outermost Formation.

Seeing this, the few of them

happily went to report to the old man.

“The Formation is broken?”

“Let’s go, let’s go in and see!”

“Be careful. After all, we only learned about the treasure here from a scroll; it might not be true.”

The old man instructed everyone.

Then, he personally led the team down to investigate the items beneath the Seal Spirit Pillar.

In this way, the few of them quickly reached the bottom of the cave.

However, what appeared before them was not a treasure,

but another Restriction.

Fortunately, this Restriction was not difficult to break.

With their combined efforts, it didn’t take long for them to break the Restriction that blocked their progress.

As soon as the Restriction was broken,

what came into view was an offering table.

On the offering table were various precious Materials and gleaming Magic Treasures.

Seeing this, the few of them were overjoyed.

The Strong Man was even more eager to step forward.

“ten-thousand-year gold lightning bamboo, soul nourishing wood, and spirit eye tree!”

“Hahaha, it’s these three divine woods!”

“We’re rich!”

“And ancient treasures and Spirit Treasures!”

“Hahaha!”

After the Strong Man clearly saw the items on the offering table, he was first stunned, then immediately burst into incoherent, frenzied laughter.

However, everyone else was captivated by the treasures.

They thought he was just overcome with emotion at seeing so many treasures.

Not just him,

even the old man, who had the highest Realm and widest knowledge, was shocked when he heard that the offering table contained ten-thousand-year gold lightning bamboo, soul nourishing wood, and spirit eye tree, the three great divine woods of the Cultivation world.

Not to mention there were also many ancient treasures on it.

Just thinking that these things would soon be theirs,

the old man’s heart also couldn’t calm down.

“Hahahahaha!”

“Hahaha, everyone, come and see, they’re all good things!”

The Strong Man continued to laugh maniacally, and even called his companions over to examine them.

This abnormal situation suddenly gave the old man a bad feeling.

Although the other party was an impatient person, he wouldn’t act so rashly.

His current appearance seemed as if he was being controlled by someone.

Earlier, because he was attracted by the treasures and blinded by greed, he hadn’t noticed the other party’s abnormality.

Now that he had calmed down, he increasingly felt that the Strong Man’s behavior was very strange.

He immediately shouted loudly, wanting to stop the others from going over to examine them.

“Everyone, don’t go over!”

The old man shouted.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

As soon as he finished speaking,

the Strong Man directly self-destructed, and the powerful energy instantly blasted his companions, who wanted to go examine the treasures, into smithereens!

The old man, having been alerted beforehand,

released a fire shield to block the explosion the moment the man self-destructed.

However, despite this,

due to the close distance, he still sustained considerable impact damage.

Just as he was about to check the situation,

a black light from the offering table suddenly shot towards him rapidly.

The old man was greatly alarmed.

He wanted to release a Magic Treasure to attack.

However, the black light was too fast.

It directly crashed into his body before his Magic Treasure could even come out.

“Get out!”

Seeing this,

the old man’s entire magical power erupted,

forcing the black light that wanted to enter his body out.

He was a Nascent Soul Cultivator after all.

Under his full eruption,

the black light spun around,

and could only leave him.

“Junior Martial Uncle, what’s going on, what happened?”

Outside the grotto,

the Core Formation Cultivators on guard heard the commotion in the grotto.

They all came in to check the situation.

“Don’t come in!”

Seeing people enter, the old man cried out in his heart that it was bad.

He quickly tried to stop them.

“Ah!”

However, it was too late after all.

Seeing new Core Formation Cultivators entering,

the black light immediately changed its target.

It directly crashed into one of the two newcomers.

“Ah!”

As the black light entered his body,

the newcomer immediately let out a tragic scream.

At the same time,

his face began to twist.

Two faces kept shifting on his face.

“This is Possession!”

The old man had some achievements in Divine Soul aspects.

Seeing this situation, he immediately understood what had happened.

He couldn’t help but exclaim.

At the same time, the Magic Treasure in his hand also launched an attack on the possessed person,

wanting to kill him before the black light successfully completed the Possession.

However, the opponent had already released a black Protector shield early on.

Although the old man’s Magic Treasure was sharp, it simply couldn’t break through his defense.

Just as the old man wanted to continue increasing his attack intensity,

one person next to the possessed person suddenly laughed like the Strong Man.

Seeing this, the old man

suddenly thought of something and quickly changed from offense to defense.

“Boom!”

As soon as he finished, a violent explosion immediately sounded from the grotto.

However, this time, because he was prepared,

he was not harmed again.

But with this delay,

the possessed person had already disappeared.

The old man’s heart turned cold.

Just as he wanted to defend again,

a ghostly claw suddenly grabbed him from behind.

It directly pulled out the old man’s Nascent Soul.

The old man still wanted to resist.

However, he couldn’t escape the opponent’s merciless iron hand.

That ghostly hand, he didn’t know what it was.

As soon as it touched the old man’s Nascent Soul,

it controlled its magical power and essence.

No matter how skilled he was, with his Nascent Soul held captive,

he was helpless.

Even the Nascent Soul Instant Teleportation technique could not be performed.

Then, amidst the old man’s Nascent Soul’s terrified expression, it was completely devoured in a few gulps.

.....

Mu Feng was unaware of the anomaly in Shenshou Valley.

At this moment, he was rushing towards the Purple Bamboo Forest with all his might.
