On the vast land of the Desert, Sun Zhe and Takeda, along with the Purple-Blue Twin Swords couple, walked steadily into the depths of the plain. The mysterious Veiled Woman rode atop the Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle, scanning the distance to scout the road ahead for everyone. Meanwhile, Jingjing drowsily sat on Sun Zhe's shoulder, seemingly exhausted after a fierce struggle with the Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle.
No one knew what Sun Zhe had asked Han Li before killing him, but after that encounter, Sun Zhe's expression turned extremely grim. Following this battle, the other four members of the alliance no longer looked down on Sun Zhe. Especially after witnessing his ruthless decisiveness in action, even the notoriously aggressive Takeda felt a twinge of caution, and naturally, no one dared to ask further questions.
"A river blocks our way ahead, and it seems a lot of people are gathered by the river... at least no fewer than three thousand."
Suddenly, the voice of the Veiled Woman echoed in the high Void, startling everyone upon hearing her words.
Three thousand people! When they entered Wanbingyuan, nearly half of those on every plain had fallen. It was already remarkable if two or three hundred out of a thousand survived. Yet here, three thousand were gathered; it seemed many more had come from outside...
Realizing this, everyone's expressions darkened. Their goal was the Rare Treasure soon to be unearthed in Wanbingyuan, and with more and more people arriving, their chances of obtaining it grew slimmer. Especially since among these newcomers were likely many strong opponents who would fiercely compete for the Rare Treasure.
"We should hurry and take a look," said the Azure Sword Maiden, her eyes revealing a hint of urgency.
With her suggestion, no one objected as they quickened their pace. All of them were quite powerful in cultivation, and in just a short while, they arrived at the gathering place. However, upon seeing the scene before them, their astonishment only deepened.
A river hundreds of feet wide stretched across their path, its surface littered with countless eerie white bones. A pungent odor lingered for miles; it was clear that this river did not contain ordinary water. Floating above it were numerous bizarre weapons—swords, spears, and rows of strange long poles—all freshly unearthed Battle-Ready Weapons that now appeared here under a strange mist that seemed to amplify their menace.
"This is impossible to fly over," Sun Zhe said with a frown as he gazed at the multitude of peculiar Battle-Ready Weapons in the Void. His tone was somber; otherwise, they could have simply flown over on the Veiled Woman's Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle.
"This river water is also strange; we can't cross it by swimming," remarked the Purple Sword Man as he glanced at the floating bones. These were clearly human skeletons—muscles and clothing completely decayed by the river water—now stained black. This water was undoubtedly highly toxic.
"Look! There are boats ahead!" At that moment, everyone noticed several small boats docked along the shore. Though not large, each could accommodate six or seven people. Some boats had already begun to traverse this eerie river; remarkably, neither the toxic water corroded them nor did the flying Battle-Ready Weapons attack them, as if they were permitted to pass.
These boats were indeed the only means to cross this river!
Everyone exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts. No wonder the strong members of the major Sects were nowhere to be seen; they must have already crossed the river by boat and likely reached the location where the treasure was appearing.
At this moment, a new round of boat contention had begun below. There were only a few dozen boats available, each capable of carrying at most two to three hundred people at a time, yet over three thousand people were still waiting. Who would want to wait here? Initially, the strong members of the major Sects dared not fight for the boats, but now, who could hold back any longer?
"This boat belongs to the Emperor Jade Gate."
A group of seven approached one of the boats. The leader coldly addressed the six people standing on the boat. Just as the six began to refuse, seven terrifying Sword Auras swept over them. The four Thunder Lords and three Thunder Sovereigns on board had no power to resist.
The Emperor Jade Gate was a fifth-tier Sect, far from Wanbingyuan, yet they had unexpectedly come to Wanbingyuan to seize treasures. The five people on the boat clearly did not know their background; otherwise, they would not have so decisively refused.
"Haha... how about you let this boat go to us five brothers?"
A strange voice echoed as five oddly-looking men appeared before another boat. These five men looked identical and simultaneously gazed at the owners of the boat, a team from a fourth-tier Sect.
Moments later, blood splattered everywhere, but due to the special material of the boat, its black hull remained untouched by blood; all of it dripped down instead. Mo, Mo Di, Mo Father, Mo Mother, and Mo Qin—the notorious Mo Family Five Brothers from the northern Great Yuan Province—once again showcased their ruthless nature.
These five were twin brothers who had been abandoned by their parents due to their unusual appearance. This led them to develop extremely peculiar personalities. After achieving cultivation success, they first slaughtered their hometown village and then killed their own master. Undoubtedly, these five were exceptionally talented individuals; they had all reached Mid-Level Thunder Lord cultivation in a short time. Together as brothers, they were unafraid even of Great Perfection of Thunder Lords but were known for their heinous deeds in northern Great Yuan Province.
"It seems that quite a few strong individuals have indeed come to Wanbingyuan this time."
Watching the battles unfold by the riverbank, Takeda tightened his grip on his Iron Rod and narrowed his eyes slightly as fierce glints began to emerge.
"Now that there are only a dozen boats left by the river, we shouldn't wait any longer."
Observing the boats crossing over, Sun Zhe spoke solemnly to everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, four figures along with a Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle charged toward a boat on the left. All four were powerful individuals; even before approaching, a strong aura surged toward them. The Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle was known for its ferocity and immense presence, instantly drawing countless gazes toward them.
"Will you walk away on your own or do you want us to take action?"
A cold voice rang out, and an overwhelming aura was unmistakably displayed.
There were seven opponents: two Thunder Lords and five Thunder Sovereigns. Seeing only five people charging at them, they were unwilling to back down and immediately lunged forward toward the five.
However, they did not realize that this played right into Sun Zhe and his companions' hands, as they needed to establish their authority!
Takeda let out a long howl, wielding his staff, which transformed into endless black shadows that descended upon a Mid-Level Thunder Lord's Cultivator. Meanwhile, the two wielders of the Purple-Blue Twin Swords brandished their blades like two bloodthirsty serpents, directly targeting another Thunder Lord Stage Cultivator. Observing the remaining five Thunder Sovereign Level Cultivators, Sun Zhe's eyes flashed with cold light as Ninefold Shadow instantly manifested. His Long Sword suddenly radiated a brilliant Purple Radiance, and he charged in without hesitation.
As for the Veiled Woman riding on the Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle, she did not make a move. The eagle's large eyes coldly surveyed the surroundings to prevent anyone from launching a sneak attack.
"Get on the boat."
Moments later, with an indifferent call, Sun Zhe and his companions calmly boarded the ship. The Veiled Woman smiled lightly, leaping directly from the back of the Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle into the ship, while the massive eagle was summoned into her space.
In just a few breaths, they had slain seven opponents. Although it was not as imposing as Emperor Jade Gate or as brutal and bloody as the Mo Family Five Brothers, their ruthless and decisive style was evident. As the five boarded the ship, not a single one of the thousands dared to challenge them again.
The strongest among them, Sun Zhe and Takeda, began to row together. Under everyone's watchful eyes, they slowly moved toward the other side of the river. However, none of the five relaxed; their spirits were tightly wound because they all knew this was not the end—the real battle had yet to begin…
