Chapter 334 The Laughing Monk and the Corpse Driver

This is because although Heavenly Pillar Mountain appears to be right before our eyes, it is actually located in a different space.

What we see now is very likely just a manifestation of the blessed land, not the real Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"We still have to wait a little longer; the Heavenly Pillar has not yet completely stabilized!"

Meng Ao spoke, sounding slightly agitated.

The group was standing on a low hill.

The high mountains that were originally outside the thick fog had now turned into flat land, and the ground was still rumbling.

Just then, a burst of wild laughter suddenly came from afar.

"Hahahaha hahahaha!!!!"

The sound rolled like a tide, shaking the surrounding wilderness.

The three members of the Great Black Heavenly Demon Cult behind Meng Ao felt their Qi Sea churning uncontrollably upon hearing this laughter, as if demonic sounds were piercing their ears; their blood surged in reverse, and their faces flushed bright red.

"Hmph!"

Meng Ao let out a cold snort, and a wave of Qi erupted from his nose and mouth, instantly entangling with the laughter and disrupting its rhythm.

"Oh?"

The person laughing let out a soft sound of surprise and said with malicious intent:

"I wondered who it was; so it's the folks from the Great Black Heavenly Demon Cult!"

"A pleasure, a pleasure!!"

Luo Hang and Hu Tianyu had just calmed their breathing, but upon seeing the person flying through the air, their expressions couldn't help but change slightly:

"It's the Mad Laughing Monk! He's here too!!"

The person was a large, fat monk with his chest and belly exposed, draped in a bright red kasaya. His fat was stacked in layers, and he wore a brilliant smile, looking just like a Maitreya Buddha.

However, he exuded an extremely evil and strange aura, and his eyes constantly emitted lecherous light; his gaze toward anyone seemed malicious.

Meng Ao whispered to Yan Chu, explaining:

"The Mad Laughing Monk is the number one evil monk in the world today. He once practiced in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, reversing the Buddhist methods of maintaining precepts, breaking all commandments, and his cultivation advanced greatly. Feeling joyful in his heart, he has laughed incessantly ever since. Later, he was expelled from the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave by the Holy Monk Liaochen and has been wandering in the Western Regions ever since."

After finishing, Meng Ao turned to the Mad Laughing Monk and said coldly:

"Mad Laughing Monk, do you want to spar with me before entering Heavenly Pillar Mountain?"

"Hehehehe..."

The Mad Laughing Monk did not stop smiling, but changed to a different kind of strange laughter:

"Benefactor Meng, you speak too severely. This poor monk is dedicated to goodness, deeply upholds the teachings of my Buddhism, strictly keeps the commandments, and never makes things difficult for others."

As he spoke, the Mad Laughing Monk's gaze fell upon Yan Chu and Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect, and he licked the corners of his mouth, his breathing becoming slightly heavier.

Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect noticed this scene, and his back suddenly felt a bit cold, his hair standing on end.

Yan Chu frowned, suddenly noticing something, and looked toward the other side.

Deep in the distant mountain forest, a sedan chair flew out.

The sedan chair was carried by four Supreme Grandmasters, followed by two young people, a man and a woman.

Both young people were dressed in the attire of the Southern Border ethnic groups, but their appearance and temperament were first-class in the world. They had fair skin and tall figures, looking like a perfect couple, and both exuded the aura of Celestial Beings.

"Stop!"

An old voice suddenly sounded from inside the sedan chair, and the four sedan carriers stopped immediately.

"Master, what is it?"

The young man behind asked softly.

It was quiet inside the sedan chair for a moment, and then the voice came out:

"No need to go forward; just wait here!"

"Yes!"

Thus, the four sedan carriers carried the sedan chair and slowly descended into the mountain forest below, with the two young men and women following closely behind.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Chu's mouth.

The aura inside the sedan chair originated from the same source as the Old Man of Ten Thousand Gu, whom he had just killed with a single saber strike not long ago. It seems he is afraid now that he sees me?

Meng Ao also sensed it and couldn't help but be lost in thought.

The three parties did not act rashly and just stood there, waiting quietly.

The drastic changes in the earth were still continuing.

This area was truly too vast; it was as if all the surrounding mountains had been attracted and condensed toward Heavenly Pillar Mountain, and looking out, it had turned into a boundless plain.

Many people from the Jianghu were also attracted here, but they were scattered across this area. Those with strength below the Grandmaster level had long since been driven away by those who arrived earlier.

Such an Opportunity would simply not allow those below the Grandmaster level to intervene.

"Get lost!!"

"If I see you appear nearby again, it won't just be an arm that you lose!!"

"Hmph! Such an Opportunity of heaven and earth is something only we, the Great Grandmasters, are qualified to touch. Where are you from? You dare to come here to compete for it? Are you not afraid of death?"

"You are too overbearing!! This is a gift from heaven and earth; why won't you let us go in to explore?"

"Exactly! Do you think you are invincible just because you are a Great Grandmaster?"

"Hehe! It seems you really don't know what death is! Kill them for me!!"

"Ah—"

Soon, the sound of shouting and screaming began to ring out one after another on the outskirts of Heavenly Pillar Mountain...

Regarding these commotions, the experts like the Celestial Beings who had arrived one after another only took one look and didn't care; they all closed their eyes and waited.

After opening the Divine Treasury and achieving a Breakthrough to the Celestial Being realm, they were like a different species compared to those below the Celestial Being level. In their eyes, the disputes of these people were so childish and ridiculous; even if there were any Opportunities, it had little to do with them.

Not long after that sedan chair arrived, the Mad Laughing Monk's expression suddenly stirred. He took a deep look at Yan Chu and the others, then came to the side of the sedan chair and began to talk in a low voice.

Shortly after, the sound of thump-thump-thump suddenly rang out.

The earth tremors originally caused by the rising of Heavenly Pillar Mountain had already subsided, but now it began to shake again.

"Ah? What is that?!!"

A Great Grandmaster discovered the source of the sound causing the earth to shake and couldn't help but exclaim.

A figure about a zhang tall was hopping toward this side.

Each jump was a hundred zhang high, and each landing smashed a thick crack into the ground, reducing trees and boulders to powder.

Of course, this was not the reason why many Jianghu people exclaimed.

What made them exclaim was the intense Evil Qi emitted by the figure. Two Supreme Grandmasters wanted to get close to see what it was, but as soon as they got within ten-plus li, they fell directly from mid-air.

Then, their bodies rapidly rotted, corroding the surrounding ground for hundreds of zhang into quicksand, emitting a thick, foul stench.

"Ah!! Retreat quickly!!! Stay away from him!!!"

People who noticed this scene retreated frantically, leaving a path for the giant who was a zhang tall.

"What is that?"

Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect asked, arms crossed, sounding somewhat puzzled.

"It's a Corpse Driver from the land of Xiangxi!"

Luo Hang explained to him from the side:

"This sect has a long and mysterious Legacy and rarely walks in the world. A thousand years ago, the Corpse Driver lineage dug up the graves of experts everywhere, stole their corpses, and refined them into zombies for them to drive. They were severely damaged by Qingyang Palace and could only turtle up in the land of Xiangxi, never coming out. Unexpectedly, they have also come today!"

Upon hearing this, Prodigy of the Great Black Heaven Demonic Sect finally noticed that on the shoulder of the tall figure sat an old man with a sinister face, with all kinds of strange bells hanging on his body.

Hu Tianyu frowned and said:

"What a tall zombie, and what intense corpse Evil Qi. Where did this Corpse Driver get such a corpse?"
