Compared to Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's indifference, Jin Mu, who was ignored by the two Nirvana Realm experts, reacted much more strongly. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards Ling Zhi, the quasi-Nirvana Realm expert he had visited a few nights ago.

"We're all from Yangcheng, let's lend a hand." Even though they had already secretly joined forces, Jin Mu still pretended to speak in a low voice when he got close to Ling Zhi.

Ling Zhi also cooperated with Jin Mu's performance, glancing over Xiao Yan and the other four before silently nodding.

The two teams with Nirvana Realm experts made no reaction to the alliance of the weak. After a brief standoff, they began trash-talking. Finally, one of the slightly stronger Nirvana Realm experts grabbed onto the ball of light deep within.

But, surprisingly, his palm passed right through the light and shadow as if they didn't exist.

Click!

While everyone was wondering what was going on, a faint clicking sound suddenly rang out in the main hall.

Before everyone could react, more than a dozen stone statues around the main hall suddenly jumped to the ground. What was most alarming was that the energy fluctuations emanating from these stone statues were in no way weaker than those of the Nirvana Realm experts present!

Before the various forces in the main hall could withdraw, the stone statue entangled everyone. Even the two Nirvana Realm cultivators could only barely withstand the onslaught of the painless stone statue.

boom!

Just as everyone was "struggling to hold on," a ghostly figure suddenly darted out from mid-air, flicked his sleeve, and shattered the only stone statue in the center of the hall that had not moved.

The instant the stone statue shattered, a ball of light burst forth from it.

Ancient Key!

These four words flashed through everyone's minds. The next moment, everyone suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the ball of light in the center of the hall.

However, before most people could get close, a jade-like hand grabbed the ball of light.

laugh!

The moment the hand touched the ball of light, a powerful energy erupted, directly causing the Nirvana Realm cultivators at the front to stagger backward. Then, a beam of light extended from the ball of light, and the beautiful figure enveloping it mysteriously disappeared.

"Don't think about it!"

At this moment, Lin Dong, whose cultivation was the "weakest," barely reached the vicinity of the pillar of light. He rushed in before the pillar of light completely disappeared, and his figure also vanished.

The Nirvana Realm cultivators, having completely missed their target, instantly turned ferocious, their crimson eyes fixed on Jin Mu. They clearly remembered that the second person to rush in, the peak Creation Realm youth, had followed him in!

"That kid behind him is his companion!"

Without hesitation, Jin Mu pointed directly at Xiao Yan.

Is there a difference?

The person who first came into contact with the ball of light and triggered the mechanism stared at Jin Mu and Xiao Yan with bloodshot eyes, "Neither of you can escape!"

Chapter 251 Mu Hongling

"Senior Brother Tomb!"

Before the Nirvana Realm cultivator could make a move, a dark figure swept in through the main hall entrance. Upon seeing the gaunt Nirvana Realm cultivator inside, the figure breathed a sigh of relief and shouted.

"Li Pan?" The gaunt Nirvana Realm cultivator, known as Brother Tomb, frowned, his gaze passing over the figure and looking behind him, as if trying to see another figure.

"Haven't Brother Razer and the others arrived yet?" Upon discovering that only one person had arrived, the man known as Brother Tomb visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Brother Lei She and the others were stopped by those people from the Primordial Dynasty,” Li Pan said. “They seem to have received news about the ancient key in Lei Yan Valley a long time ago, so they have been preventing people from other advanced dynasties from getting close.”

"The primordial era..."

"I made a deal with Hong Zong of the Primordial Dynasty!" Upon hearing the familiar name, Jin Mu shouted the moment "Senior Brother Tomb" spoke. "He helped me hold off the powerful figures from other advanced dynasties, and I did my best to help him obtain the ancient key to this place!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the hall focused on Jin Mu. Hai Sha of the Hai Lin Dynasty and Ling Zhi of the Ling Yun Dynasty, who already knew that Jin Mu had a deal with someone from a high-level dynasty, breathed a sigh of relief, just as they had been worried about Jin Mu's safety.

"So, you think that guy Hong Zong would go against our Demon Rock Dynasty for someone like you who's only at the half-step Nirvana Realm?" Senior Brother Mu grinned, his scarlet eyes fixed on Jin Mu. "Do you think I, Chen Mu, am afraid of that guy?"

Under the oppressive aura of Chen Mu's Nirvana Realm cultivation, Jin Mu slightly bent his body.

"No, I just want to say... I only used this person, and the person who seemed to have been teleported away before, as pawns. I can't really be considered a friend of theirs!" Jin Mu pointed at Xiao Yan with his right hand and said with great difficulty.

"Huh?"

Chen Mu sneered and shifted his gaze to Xiao Yan. "That's what he said. Do you have any rebuttal?" He looked at Xiao Yan and Jin Mu with amusement, as if he was ready to watch a good show.

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Xiao Yan stroked his chin, pondering.

How many Nirvana Pills are you carrying?

He asked a very abrupt question.

"What does this have to do with your answer?" Chen Mu frowned, looking at Xiao Yan with displeasure.

"I'm preparing the Nirvana Pills I need to break through to the Nirvana Realm," Xiao Yan said, spreading his hands. "I've only been in this ancient battlefield for less than a week, and I've been running around the whole time. I haven't accumulated many Nirvana Pills!"

"Heh, you're quite interesting," Chen Mu chuckled, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Alright, how about this, as long as you give me this..." He shifted his gaze to Jin Mu beside Xiao Yan.

"Jin Mu, Holy Light Dynasty, Jin Mu!" Although he had guessed what was going on, Jin Mu could only smile obsequiously in the face of the Demon Rock Dynasty, which had two Nirvana Realm experts.

"If you can kill this Jin Mu, and then offer your companion up when he comes out, I can give you ten thousand Nirvana Pills!"

Jin Mu's expression changed, and he looked at Xiao Yan beside him warily.

As for the people from the surrounding dynasties, they just watched Xiao Yan and Jin Mu silently. There were no fools on this ancient battlefield who would casually help strangers.

"Are you hearing okay?" Xiao Yan tilted his head. "I'm asking—how many Nirvana Pills are you carrying!"

The instant Chen Mu's expression changed upon hearing Xiao Yan's first sentence, Xiao Yan appeared beside Chen Mu, casually placing his right hand on Chen Mu's shoulder while simultaneously flicking his left hand—

Bang bang bang bang!

Five muffled sounds rang out, and the remaining five members of the Demon Rock Dynasty, including Li Pan, a Nirvana Realm cultivator, were instantly sent flying backward, crashing into the walls surrounding the main hall. They then spat out a mouthful of blood, and after a brief struggle, they finally lost all their strength and collapsed to the ground.

The atmosphere froze instantly. Whether it was Chen Mu, whose right hand was on Xiao Yan's shoulder, or bystanders like Jin Mu, Hai Sha, and Ling Zhi, everyone's expression stiffened at this moment.

"...Mental power?"

After a long pause, Chen Mu slowly uttered three words.

As the person closest to Xiao Yan, Chen Mu could clearly sense that the moment Xiao Yan waved his left hand, a surge of spiritual energy that made him feel slightly suffocated emerged from Xiao Yan's body.

This fluctuation of mental energy far exceeded the limits of Li Pan, a spirit talisman master...

"I am but a lowly Heavenly Talisman Master," Xiao Yan chuckled. "Do you think there is anyone here who can rival me?"

A First Seal Heavenly Talisman Master is a talisman master who has survived a tribulation of wind and thunder. According to the level conversion of Yuan Power cultivators, it is roughly equivalent to passing through a Nirvana Realm. And everyone present, including Chen Mu, has only barely advanced to the Nirvana Realm!

Xiao Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the main hall to hear clearly.

Therefore, the moment Xiao Yan finished speaking, Jin Mu turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the main hall gate.

However, without Xiao Yan even having to make a move, Ling Zhi, who was at the Quasi-Nirvana Realm, and Hai Sha, who was at the Half-Step Nirvana Realm, blocked Jin Mu from the front and back. After each of them took a hit from Jin Mu, they firmly controlled him.

After Jin Mu revealed that he had a deal with the Honghuang Dynasty, most people in the hall vaguely guessed that the reason Jin Mu had approached the Hailin Dynasty and Lingyun Dynasty before might be because he also had a deal with them.

At this moment, seeing that Hai Sha and Ling Zhi were willing to take a heavy blow from Jin Mu in order to capture him, everyone confirmed their suspicions.

"Damn it, you two..." Jin Mu roared instinctively, his hands and feet restrained.

“I had discussed cooperation with Jin Mu before, but that was after the emergence of the Primordial Dynasty!” Ling Zhi covered Jin Mu’s mouth and then quickly said.

"I only found out about Jin Mu and Ling Zhi's cooperation a few days ago. But Jin Mu has been by your side these past few days, so I haven't had a chance to tell you!"

Because Ling Zhi spoke first about cooperating with Jin Mu, Hai Sha, who had met Xiao Yan and was Jin Mu's "collaborator," had to come up with a new reason.

Meanwhile, Hai Sha and Ling Zhi harbored deep resentment towards Jin Mu.

What kind of mind would you have to label a First Seal Heavenly Talisman Master as a "discarded pawn" without even knowing their full strength?

Among the four mid-level dynasties of Yangcheng, the only two most conscientious leaders, the Great You Dynasty and the Iron Dynasty, stared blankly at Hai Sha and Ling Zhi. One of them was unaware that Ling Zhi was also an alliance partner, and the other had never been contacted by Jin Mu...

"Excuse me……"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to say a few words, he suddenly sensed a spatial fluctuation somewhere in the Thunder Rock Mountains. He frowned slightly, moved slightly, and instantly appeared on a lonely mountain peak.

In front of him, space slowly rippled, and then a woman in red suddenly appeared.

"Not bad."

As he shattered the Yuan Qi protective shield around the woman in red with a slap, Xiao Yan commented, then grabbed the woman's shoulder and flashed back into the main hall.

Hai Sha and Ling Zhi, who were waiting for Xiao Yan's judgment in the main hall, saw Xiao Yan freeze in place after hearing him say "Excuse me." The next moment, a woman in red appeared beside Xiao Yan, and like Chen Mu, she was being controlled.

"Hand over the Nirvana Pill," Xiao Yan said, after bringing the red-clad woman, whom Lin Dong had kicked out of the space of the Ancient Key, back to the main hall. He then looked at Hai Sha and Ling Zhi and said, "Fifty thousand each."

If possible, Xiao Yan would definitely want more Nirvana Pills, but based on the past few days, he confirmed that the Holy Light Dynasty only had about 50,000 Nirvana Pills in total. Although the Sea Scale Dynasty and the Lingyun Dynasty were better than the Holy Light Dynasty, the difference was probably not significant.

Upon hearing the number 50,000, Hai Sha and Ling Zhi showed expressions of pain, but their hands did not stop for a moment. They took out a Qiankun bag from their pockets and threw it at Xiao Yan.

After Xiao Yan accepted the Qiankun Bag and nodded slightly, Hai Sha and Ling Zhi decisively led their dynasty's troops out of the main hall.

As for everyone in the Holy Light Dynasty, including Jin Mu...

Before the Qiankun bags thrown by Hai Sha and Ling Zhi could reach Xiao Yan's hands, their breathing completely ceased, and the Qiankun bags on their bodies fell into Xiao Yan's hands.

"150,000 Nirvana Pills should be enough for you to cultivate for a while." The Qiankun bag that had just been handed to Mo Ling and the other two was handed over directly before they could even warm up.

"This……"

Looking at the Qiankun bag in their hands, Mo Ling and the other two instinctively wanted to refuse.

“Lin Dong and I need a large number of Nirvana Pills, so this is of little use to us,” Xiao Yan waved his hand, “You can keep it.”

“…Thank you.” After a moment of silence, Mo Ling and the other two nodded and said.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan slapped Chen Mu unconscious, then turned his gaze to the remaining group who hadn't left. "Aren't you leaving yet? Are you planning to take advantage of the situation or are you trying to deliver yourselves to me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other groups of people hurriedly left the main hall, fearing that if they were a step too late, they would have to hand over all the Nirvana Pills they had.

After all the bystanders had left, Xiao Yan's gaze finally fell on the woman in red he had brought back. "You seem to know the location of this ancient key very well?"

His gaze swept over the woman in red. Although the solution to the trap that Bai Chen Tomb had mistakenly activated was easy to find, this woman in red was much faster than Bai Chen Tomb, but her strength was only at the ordinary Nirvana Realm.

After being brought back to the main hall by Xiao Yan, the woman in red kept her head down. She only briefly glanced at the three of them when Xiao Yan gave them 150,000 Nirvana Pills. Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, she finally raised her head and looked at him.

"It is impossible for a mid-level dynasty to have two Heavenly Talisman Masters of the First Seal."

"We're not a mid-level dynasty," Xiao Yan said, pursing his lips.

“I have met all the high-ranking dynasties in the Northwest region, and none of you are among them,” the woman in red continued.

"The Northwest Region?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly. A year ago, he had visited several advanced dynasties and one or two super dynasties, but only the maps he obtained from those two super dynasties showed the location of the ancient battlefield...

"You're from the Super Dynasty?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, the woman in red suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
