The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Ren Pingsheng: ...

After all this time, the people from Jiuji Mountain came not to protect us, but to kill us?

Master Ta continued, "But that was decades ago. Of all the people from Jiuji Mountain, only the bearded guy at the head of the group left a vague impression on me. He must have been involved in the destruction of my family back then. But my appearance and aura were completely different from now, so he definitely wouldn't recognize me."

This is indeed the case.

This group of people from Jiuji Mountain didn't recognize Master Ta at all.

They have slaughtered too many families over the years, and have long forgotten the families that slaughtered Master Ta. They could not possibly remember that one of Master Ta escaped in the chaos.

"Uh, what do you mean? You know these people? You want to save them from my grasp?"

The Old Ancestor of Light looked back at the group of members from the Nine Extremes Mountain, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Before he left the Great Wilderness, he had lived and worked there for many years and had naturally heard of Mount Jiuji.

Moreover, from the aura of these dozen or so members of the Nine Extremes Mountain, he could roughly judge that the weakest of these members was at the seventh level of the Emperor Martial Realm, and the strongest was at the peak of the ninth level of the Emperor Martial Realm.

He had roughly estimated that, with all his might, there was a 90% chance he could wipe out the group, but there was also a 99% chance he would be seriously injured.

Moreover, the people who entered the Nine Extremes Mountain Range today were not just them.

If we cannot wipe them out quickly and get them to send messages that attract more people from Jiuji Mountain, things will become very complicated.

Therefore, he did not act immediately, but wanted to figure out the situation first.

"I know them more than just acquaintances; they are my beloved family and friends, my brothers and sisters. If you want to kill them, it's better than killing me. Of course, I will save them from your grasp."

The leader, a burly man with a stubble beard and a cultivation level at the peak of the ninth level of the Imperial Martial Realm, was named Duan Tianlang, the sixth elder of Jiuji Mountain.

His words made the Old Ancestor of Light's expression grow even colder.

This left Ren Pingsheng and the others completely baffled.

When did they become close friends and brothers with Duan Tianlang?

"The bearded guy in the lead has a rather unusual stone in his hand. It contains the ability to sense treasures. I guess he sensed that we have treasures on us and wants to drive away the Ancestor of Light so he can take all the treasures for himself."

Qin Changye quickly made a guess.

Indeed, Jiuji Mountain made its living by treasure hunting and tomb raiding, so naturally, it had many items for detecting treasures.

For example, the stone in Duan Tianlang's hand is called the Qiankun Stone. Once activated, it has the extraordinary effect of sensing a supreme treasure.

Before entering the Doomsday Mountains, the six elders of Nine Extremes Mountain had each dripped their blood to bind the six Qiankun Stones to their masters, and thus activated them ahead of time.

And from many people, I've come to know some really good products.

After the Doomsday Mountains officially opened, the six elders each led a team, splitting into six groups to track down six people who possessed supreme treasures.

They are preparing to commit murder and robbery in the Doomsday Mountains.

And the person he was responsible for tracking was Xiuer.

Even before he reached the Doomsday Mountains, he sensed that Xiu'er's purple dress was quite extraordinary, causing his Qiankun Stone to flash continuously.

He wanted to strip Xiu'er of her purple dress and give it to the Third Elder of Jiuji Mountain, who was the woman he had been pursuing for many years.

Afterwards, as planned, he led his team to follow Xiuer and the others, and found that Xiuer and the others seemed to be following others as well, and there were even people following Xiuer and the others just like them.

Just as he was about to make his move upon arriving at this valley, the Radiant Ancestor, who was also following Xiu'er and the others, struck first.

How could he allow the ancestor of light to destroy Xiu'er and the others, and for them to lose what they had almost gotten their hands on? So he immediately stepped forward and even fabricated a story that Xiu'er and the others were their beloved relatives, friends, and brothers.

"Cultivation is as deep as the sea; from then on, emotions are just a distant memory!"

"What dearest friends and family, what brothers and sisters, they're all fleeting and insignificant. If you turn around and leave now, I can give you a sum of spirit stones—five million, how about that? If that's not enough, I can add more!"

Seeing that the Nine Extremes Sect had already shielded Qin Changye and the others behind them, the Bright Ancestor pondered for a moment before speaking, clearly not wanting to easily become enemies with the Nine Extremes Sect.

In his view, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem!

However, Duan Tianlang, the leader of the Nine Extremes Sect, shook his head without hesitation.

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

The murderous intent on the Bright Ancestor's face intensified instantly. Having failed to entice him, he resorted to coercion: "Those who refuse a toast will face a forfeit, and that will come at a terrible price, even their lives. I advise you to think twice before you act, and not to sacrifice your lives for some outsiders!"

As he spoke, the aura of the Ancestor of Light was released without reservation.

He overshadowed everyone present, including Duan Tianlang.

"The realm of a demigod?"

Duan Tianlang's expression turned serious.

This level of cultivation has already surpassed his.

However, they outnumbered him, and he had secretly crushed the communication jade slip. Before long, the other five elders who had completed the murder and robbery would arrive immediately.

Of these five elders, the weakest was at the half-saint level, while the first and second elders had even reached the pseudo-saint level.

Now all we need to do is stall the Ancestor of Light until any of the elders arrive, and then we can switch the balance of power.

Seeing that Duan Tianlang and the others still refused to retreat, the Ancestor of Light stopped talking and directly started the battle.

He guessed that the group from Jiuji Mountain had likely called for reinforcements. So, unlike Duan Tianlang and the others who were using delaying tactics, he went all out, aiming to finish the battle quickly and before the Jiuji Mountain reinforcements arrived.

"It's a pity that this valley was sealed off by the spiritual power of the Ancestor of Light beforehand. We can only enter but not exit. Otherwise, we could have escaped while they were locked in a fierce battle."

Ren Pingsheng looked regretful.

Beside her, Li Yourong tried several times, but indeed could not budge the seal in the slightest.

Qin Changye shook his head slightly: "Escape? Why would you want to escape?"

He answered their questioning gazes, "You all sit here and watch the fight for a while, I'll give them a little something extra!"

When Qin Changye entered the valley, he sensed that something was wrong with it.

At this moment, he spared no effort in releasing his spiritual power and, with all his might, sensed that something was amiss.

It turns out that there was a super explosive array in this valley.

However, due to its long existence, some of the array materials have aged, resulting in some damage to this super explosive array, making it unable to be activated.

In his previous life, Qin Changye was quite skilled in formations!

Without further ado, they began repairing the damaged super explosive array.
