The scream was so powerful that it not only shook the entire central region but also traveled through every place in the entire Demon Mountain Region.
Even the big shots of the 4 surprises were shocked, as they looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
Grand Elder Hui Zhong from the 'Flying Sword Sect' looked at the 3 others around him as he said
'' That must be the cry of the ruler of the Demon Mountain Region! Do you think that maybe someone has managed to anger you?''
Everyone looked at Hui Zhong dumbfounded before Grand Elder Lan Hong was the first to respond as he attacked him.
''Empty omong! How could anyone possibly approach that magical beast, let alone provoke it!? Hui Zhong, I said, are you senile because of your old age?''
Hui Zhong was immediately enraged by Lan Hong's words as he replied
'' You are the already senile person Lan! What do you think, that monster will scream for no reason?''
Lan Hong insulted in front of the vice pavilion master of the 'Wind Pavilion roaring', Li Huian came out to meditate as he said.
'' Senior, please calm down. It was unmistakable, according to whom the cry of the beast came from. However, there doesn't seem to be anyone strong enough in our 'Silent East' who can fight that bird. Even the chief priest of the 'Golden Buddha temple' did not have the confidence to fight against him.''
However, at that moment Lan Hong's expression suddenly changed as he recalled something said by Liu Jian's sect, in the middle about 2 months ago.
Everyone instantly noticed the change in his expression when the Da Chao sect master was the first to ask
'' Elder Lan, could it be that you know something about this?''
(author's note: the use of the word elder here, refers to one's age and is not the same as the word Elder referring to one's status)
Lan Hong, as he said
''What vice pavilion master Li Huian said earlier, was not necessarily true.''
After taking a deep breath, Lan Hong continued
''About 2 months ago, a mysterious person appeared in my 'floating cloud city. No one had managed to communicate with him, aside from the small 3rd bronze-grade alchemists.
However, the mysterious person released his aura once and the entire 'floating cloud city' trembled. Liu Jian then ordered everyone to keep secret what had happened because that person had most likely surpassed the Spirit realm. Even I wouldn't mention it today if it wasn't like that.''
Everyone suddenly took a breath when thinking about this shocking revelation.
After hearing Lan Hong's words, Hui Zhong asked in seriousness
'' Old Man Lan, are you sure that this person has reached the 'stage'?''
Everyone leaked sharply towards Lan Hong who was replying to him with his head as he said
'' This was only Liu Jian's estimation. However, even if this person had not reached that stage, he should not have gone too far from it.''
Silence suddenly pervaded the place because this news was like a hammer hitting the hearts of everyone.
Vice pavilion master Li Huian suddenly asked
''Then, what will happen to the sect question?''
The eyes of Da Chao and Hui Zhong panicked as their sons and grandchildren were in the Demon Mountain Region.
''I think we should answer this question and call all the disciples back here.''
Da Chao nodded after hearing Hui Zhong's words and said
''I agree! Things are out of our control. If every disciple inside dies then it will be a tragedy for our sect.''
''Vice pavilion master, I think it is better if we wait for the qi blast to finish first before we study the science prematurely.''
Since this was a joint sect test, and 3 out of 4 people had taken a stand, it all depended on what Li Huian had chosen.
If he sided with Da Chao and Hui Zhong then the investigation would end now, whereas if he agreed with Lan Hong, then the examination would continue as usual, until the middle mountain exploded.
As everyone the blue-robed pavilion masters of the 'wind pavilion, he sighed as he roared his gaze' his gaze to Lan Hong and said
'' I think we should think about the previous research. The danger to our students has risen beyond our control.
Da Chao and Hui Zhong heaved a sigh of relief while Lan Hong felt a little lost. Although the other 2 opportunities to lose a direct descendant of them occurred, the explosion of qi that once every 30 years always allowed the surviving disciples to become stronger than the other groups. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an opportunity filled with endless dangers, allowing a goldfish to become a dragon.
the four of them took out their 'sect-identifying teeth' and the moment they activated it, countless red lights flew towards the Demon Mountain Region.
''What is this? Did the exam end prematurely?''
''Ha ha! I'm sure it's the Grand Elder. He cannot bear so many talents from our 'Flying Sword Sect' dying here so it must have persuaded everyone to take a look at the scene earlier.''
All the disciples who were previously frightened due to the terrifying screeches coming from the middle region, now felt a sense of relief as they watched emitting a red light that signified the end of the test.
At that moment, in the middle region, every rank 4 magical beast was looking at the middle mountain where the screeches came from.
After Shun Long shouted out loudly that, his eyebrows shot up as he came
''Can't do. How could something like 'it' become a rank 4 magical beast? I must be wrong.''
'' Sir, did you find anything?'' Little Black asked after hearing Shun Long on himself
'' It was nothing Shun Long replied as he waited before he saw a faint red beam of light all the way from the outer region, as he headed towards the 'sect identifier tooth' in his pocket.
The jade sect lit up with a red light, it was like an invisible rope that Shun Long could follow to return to the entrance of the Demon Mountain Region.
'' Have they decided to think about such things? There's no way I'll just come back after coming so close to the central mountain''
originally, Shun Long planned to rest at night before heading for the mountain in the morning, but now, he had to plan a plan.
Little Black who saw that Shun Long was ready to go to the middle mountain now said
'' Master the magical beast that shouted earlier, not an ordinary peak 4 magical beast. Based on the strength of his previous roar, I was worried that his strength might be able to threaten even some early rank 5 monsters. I'm afraid even with your 'Eternal Body King' it will be difficult for us to escape after entering his lair.''
Shun Long nodded his head after he heard Little Black's words and replied
''I-i know. Don't worry, I still have a trump card if things are really bad for us.''
Absorbing the pure qi in this Demon Mountain Region, had triggered Shun Long's greed. If the treasures in the middle mountain were truly connected to the purity of the qi here, then it was worth taking the risk to obtain them.
Shun Long already knew that both his 'Monarch's Domain' and also his 'Monarch's Eternal body' would probably be useless against a ferocious beast that was at the peak of rank 4 like the ruler of the Demon Mountain Region. Although the treasure was important, one still had to live to obtain it, therefore without certain certainty, Shun Long would not go to the central mountain because he already knew the danger beforehand.
Little Black did not warn Shun Long anymore. He had absolute confidence in his master, and if he was really going to die, then the black dragon would accompany him to another world without a second thought. This is what it means to share life and death.
Nearly half an hour later, Shun Long arrived at the foot of this barren mountain.
Looking up from the base of the mountain, one could not even see its peak hidden within the clouds.
Now that they were closer to him, little Black once again sent his soul to sense the surroundings. A few breaths later he said
'' Master, I can feel 2 presences from before. The two of them were inside a cave in the heart of the mountain.''
Taking a step forward, Shun Long followed the little Black's instructions as he began to climb the middle mountain,
