"Shuangmu!" Feng Bitang shouted.

He turned his head and saw that this ugly woman was staring blankly at Ni Mantian. He was immediately furious and shouted angrily.

"Oh oh oh!"

Lin Yaoxie was jolted awake by his shout. He realized that he had been thinking about things between men and women without realizing it, and had become so distracted.

"I'm warning you, you're only standing here because of me. If I find you staring at Junior Sister Mantian again, I won't let you off the hook!"

Feng Bitang whispered something in his ear.

Lin Yaoxie nodded repeatedly. "You're just being glib. Once your 'Junior Sister Mantian' finds out who I am, you'll be so embarrassed you won't even recognize your own mother!"

"There will be many unknown monsters in this blessed land, so we must be careful of each other. Junior Sister Mantian and I will each lead a team to explore from both sides. If there are any problems, use the fireworks as a signal!"

Feng Bitang rarely showed his senior brother demeanor, but in reality, he had been secretly trying to persuade his master to team up with his junior sister for a long time.

However, the master still felt it was better to split into two teams, so that they could support each other from both sides. Otherwise, if there was any big trouble in this blessed land, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out?!

Lin Yaoxie was naturally submerged in the surging crowd. He didn't need to worry at all that Ni Mantian would recognize him, since Ni Mantian probably couldn't even see him!

"Shuangmu! You go first!" Feng Bitang said, even whispering to him, "This is your chance to prove yourself. If you do well, I'll recommend you to become a disciple of Penglai after we retrieve the divine artifact!"

Lin Yaoxie sneered inwardly. What a piece of trash! Who would want to be a disciple of some damn Penglai sect? But on the surface, he put on a show of "Yes, no problem! I will definitely work hard! I won't let my senior brother down!"

Feng Bitang nodded in satisfaction and walked in the middle of the line. Lin Yaoxie looked at his formation and thought, "He really is a coward, afraid of death!"

Lin Yaoxie walked at the front without a care in the world. Now, with his strength, he had nothing to fear!

"Watch out!" a Penglai disciple shouted, and quickly flicked a white celestial orb from his hand, which hit the ground straight down.

The flat ground had begun to crack, and some monsters had even poked their heads out—monsters evolved from the soil. Lin Yaoxie felt the ground loosen beneath his feet, and a monster emerged, causing Lin Yaoxie to sway.

"What the hell?" Lin Yaoxie said, then stomped hard, stomping the mud monster back into the mud.

The Penglai disciple who first discovered it stared in disbelief at the masked man's actions. "Wow, there's such a thing!"

"Shuangmu! Take care of them!" Feng Bitang also saw Lin Yaoxie's easy actions and immediately spoke in a condescending manner.

These are his subordinates. If others can see how capable his subordinates are, then wouldn't he, the master, be even more capable?

Lin Yaoxie nodded. He understood Feng Bitang's meaning. He still needed Feng Bitang's help, so he could be smug for a while.

"Alright, Senior Brother Feng!" Lin Yaoxie said modestly.

His method of dealing with the mud monsters was very simple and brutal: he used brute force to stomp them all back into the ground.

"Um, masked brother, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" a disciple of Penglai asked.

Lin Yaoxie did not answer, but stomped on the ground again and looked at Feng Bitang.

"What's wrong with that? It's not just our Penglai faction that's going into the blessed land this time. There are many Seven Killings agents mixed in. Shuangmu doing this adds to their burden, which is not a bad thing."

Feng Bitang replied, "If we can stall for a little longer, then we'll do our best. Otherwise, with so many people vying for the artifact, what will we do?"

Lin Yaoxie sneered and curled his lips. This black veil was the last cover. He did this just to speed things up. It was hard for Feng Bitang to think so much.

The group continued on their way.

"Senior Brother, the sandstorm seems to be getting stronger!" Some of the younger junior brothers in the group were already struggling, their mouths full of sand.

Feng Bitang felt alright, but his mouth still felt a little uncomfortable. He looked up at Shuangmu, only to see her still walking leisurely ahead, seemingly unaffected.

"Shuangmu!" Feng Bitang shouted, "Don't you think the sandstorm is bad?"

Lin Yaoxie pretended to be completely unaware, "Huh? I didn't notice! Maybe it's because I was wearing a mask?"

A face mask? Feng Bitang asked in confusion, but then he saw Lin Yaoxie's black veil and suddenly realized.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Great Mountain and River Formation

"The more we walk, the more something feels off!" Feng Bitang said hesitantly.

As the chief disciple of Penglai, he was afraid of death, but his martial arts skills were not bad. On the contrary, his skills were probably far superior to many people in Penglai, and even superior to Ni Mantian.

Lin Yaoxie had sensed something was amiss long ago, and the mud monster from before had now completely vanished.

Instead, it is now a flat plain of mountains and hills, without even a single tree.

Although it is a blessed land, it is absolutely impossible for it to be without any trees or birds - ah.

Lin Yaoxie nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah! I also feel like something's not right!"

The other Penglai disciples nodded in agreement, indicating that they all shared the same experience.

But aside from the lack of life, there were other strange things about it that couldn't be explained. This ignorance was what made it even more terrifying.

"Be on guard, in case of any unforeseen circumstances!" Feng Bitang said, organizing the disciples of Penglai to form a battle formation.

"Shuangmu! Come to my side!" Feng Bitang said, looking at the "at a loss" Lin Yaoxie.

Along the way, Feng Bitang discovered that the ugly-looking assassin's skills were indeed quite good, and even superior to his own in some aspects.

So keep him by your side for now; he might just save your life in a critical moment!

Lin Yaoxie felt that Feng Bitang, as the chief disciple of Penglai, should know more, so he pretended to be a servant and stood beside Feng Bitang with gratitude.

"Senior brother, it seems we've returned to where we were before!"

A disciple of Penglai said cautiously.

We've walked for the time it takes to brew two cups of tea. According to the sect leader's previous introduction, we should have already traversed the mountains and rivers.

But it still seems like it will never end.

If that's the case, are the roads on both sides built exactly the same? Or have we encountered a maze?

Lin Yaoxie stood leisurely beside Feng Bitang, and no matter what the reason, he was just trying to trap them.

According to Lin Yaoxie's own idea, he would simply cut a path in one direction.

"Shuangmu, what do you think?" Feng Bitang turned to ask Lin Yaoxie.

For some reason, he always felt that Shuangmu was very calm, even completely different from the other Penglai disciples.

Even at this moment, there was not a trace of panic.

If he's not really stupid, then he must know a way out?

"Huh? I don't know!" Lin Yaoxie said, sounding completely dumbfounded.

"Aren't you afraid?" Feng Bitang asked.

"What's there to be afraid of! Senior Brother is here! I'm so stupid and a rough person, I'll just listen to Senior Brother!"

Lin Yaoxie put on the face of a rough man, wanting to see what else Feng Bitang was hiding!

"Oh, you're quite clever!"

Feng Bitang felt relieved. It turned out that this person really was heartless; knowing that he couldn't figure it out, he simply gave up.

Lin Yaoxie pretended to be silly and laughed, even scratching his head like Meng Xuanlang.

“It must be because of the divine artifact, the Floating Pearl, that our blessed land has changed,” Feng Bitang said after a moment of contemplation.

The disciples of Penglai all gathered around him:

"It is said that Master's Floating Pearl symbolizes destruction and power, and can control clouds, rain, lightning, mountains, and trees. Therefore, I think it has now taken control of the entire blessed land, which means we may be attacked by clouds, rain, lightning, mountains, and trees. If I am not mistaken, it should be the Mountain and River Formation now!"

"Senior Brother, did Master say how to break this?" a disciple asked anxiously.

The Floating Pearl represents destruction and power. I am still so young and have just embarked on the path of cultivation. I don't want to lose my life because of the Floating Pearl.

“Master…” Feng Bitang deliberately kept everyone in suspense, “Don’t panic. Master naturally knows the power of the Floating Pearl and will naturally teach me how to deal with it. There are two methods now.”

Everyone listened intently to Feng Bitang's words, afraid of missing even a single word.

“The first method is to break it with even stronger power!” Feng Bitang said, glancing meaningfully at Shuangmu. “If Shuangmu and I join hands to break through the mountain and river formation, we have a chance. However, if we reveal our strength too early, it will be detrimental to our later competition for the Floating Pearl.”

The disciples nodded, but Lin Yaoxie glanced at him disdainfully. "I can do this by myself. What do I need you for? Join forces? Who wants to join forces with you!"

0oo is asking for flowers.....

"Senior Brother, since the first method isn't suitable for us, what is the second method?"

The second method requires eight fellow disciples to sit in the eight directions, simultaneously offering up their immortal essence and blood essence, using the energy of flesh and blood as a guide to lead us out of the mountain and river formation!

After Feng Bitang finished speaking, the disciples' expressions turned somewhat pale.

Although the two teams from Penglai had a large number of members, they couldn't withstand eight people simultaneously unleashing their immortal essence and blood essence. If all went well, they might be able to save their lives.

But if they are unlucky, they may not even be able to go through menstrual bleeding.

When menstrual blood is exhausted, there is only one outcome—death.

"Senior Brother, wouldn't that put those eight fellow disciples in great danger?"

One of the more composed and older disciples spoke up, and everyone else seemed to shrink back slightly.

"How could I not know that? But we are determined to obtain the Floating Pearl. If I act too soon, not only will my moves and trump cards be exposed, but I may even suffer serious injuries. Then who will fight for the Floating Pearl for Penglai? My fellow disciples can use their blood as a weapon. We can divide into two groups of disciples to ensure their lives first."

Feng Bitang said indignantly, pretending to be so righteous and awe-inspiring!

"Ugh……"

Everyone fell silent; no one wanted to be a pawn.

Putting aside the impact of unleashing the Immortal Source on himself, even just surviving probably means he'll never witness any miracles!

"Let's decide on this! There's no time to lose, we can't afford to delay!" Feng Bitang decided.

Let these senior brothers clear the way for him; this way, he can preserve his strength and also save himself from people who would steal his credit!

Lin Yaoxie coldly observed all of this. The first batch of eight Penglai disciples had been confirmed. Several teenagers had ashen faces. Upon closer inspection, there was also the long-faced disciple who had spoken to Ni Mantian that day.

Lin Yaoxie thought that Feng Bitang was truly a despicable person. Not only did he not want to fight on the front lines and use the Penglai disciples, but now he was even taking the opportunity to eliminate his love rival. He really killed three birds with one stone!

Feng Bitang was pleased to see the menstrual blood gradually gather into a thin thread, which began to extend in one direction.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Kunlun Lineage

The endless mountains finally came to an end, and before them stretched an endless expanse of green. The disciples of Penglai cheered with joy as they finally emerged from the mountain formation.

"Everyone, take a break!" Feng Bitang ordered.

The disciples helped the two groups of guides to the ground, fed them water and medicine, which was a very dangerous thing for them.

Lin Yaoxie held his sword and looked ahead cautiously. He was still the careful and discreet Shuangmu, so he had to maintain a certain demeanor!
