After sending out the message.
Chen Nan had been waiting for a reply.
Someone did reply to him.
But they all said they had never heard of such a monster.
Then they had to go through ancient books.
Chen Nan replied: "Not worth mentioning."
Then he put away the wooden token.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, daybreak arrived.
The monster also opened its sleepy eyes.
A pair of blood-red eyes showed no trace of emotion.
Chen Nan felt uneasy under its gaze and said with a smile, "Brother Hu, are you hungry?"
"Shall I go find you something to eat?"
*Burp!*
Unexpectedly.
The monster let out a full burp.
Then it spat out some undigested bones from its mouth.
It turned its head to look at the black mountain behind it, as if trying to convey something.
Chen Nan felt very awkward.
Although he could sometimes guess the thoughts of animals.
It depended on the time.
Like now.
He didn't know what the monster meant.
Of course.
None of this was important.
What was important.
Was that he now truly understood what it meant to "seek skin from a tiger."
The monster looked back at Chen Nan.
Then it slowly stood up.
With a leap.
It headed straight for the main peak of Black Mountain.
In an instant, it disappeared from Chen Nan's sight.
"This guy is finally gone!"
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out some dry food from his storage space.
As he ate, he walked over to the white horse.
He gently stroked its head, "Thank you for taking me this far. The mountain path is rugged, and it's inconvenient for you to proceed."
"You can wait here for my return."
"Or you can leave on your own."
He said, removing the saddle and other gear.
All things have spirits.
He didn't know what would happen on the mountain this time.
Nor did he know when he would find his opportunity.
He couldn't bear to let the horse starve here.
After all, there was no vegetation at the foot of Black Mountain.
Rather than letting it starve here.
It was better to give it freedom.
After eating.
Chen Nan took out the communication wooden token.
Seeing that there was still no reply.
He couldn't help but feel disappointed by the efficiency of the people from the Anti-Heaven Cult.
He composed another message: "Useless!"
------
Black Mountain has treacherous terrain.
With many steep and smooth rock faces.
Even though he was a powerful cultivator of the Soul Gathering realm, he had nearly met with accidents several times.
For mortals.
This place was more like a forbidden zone.
Because with ordinary people's abilities.
It was impossible to climb to the top of Black Mountain.
However.
His spatial domain could cover a small area.
Allowing him to easily cross dangerous places.
Moreover.
Even when using his spatial domain, he wouldn't waste too much mental energy.
*Crack!*
Without any warning.
A crisp cracking sound echoed through the heavens and earth.
As if the sky was collapsing.
Or as if the earth was splitting open.
The sound seemed to come from the depths of the firmament.
Or as if it sounded from the depths of the soul.
It gave people a sense of unease and fear.
At the same moment.
Countless people climbing Black Mountain looked up at the mountain in unison.
They saw that the main peak of Black Mountain, in the direction of the Fire God Sect ruins, was bathed in heavenly radiance.
A magnificent and vast immortal palace phantom appeared in the depths of the firmament.
Jade pavilions and halls.
Beautiful and exquisite.
Countless rare beasts frolicked and played in the clouds.
"This is what the Fire God Sect used to look like!"
"The opportunity of the Fire God Sect has appeared, hurry!"
Exclamations of excitement echoed through the world.
Countless people exerted all their strength to climb towards the main peak.
"Is this what the Fire God Sect looked like in the past?" Chen Nan watched the sky quietly, his heart unable to calm down.
He never expected the Fire God Sect to be so magnificent.
It was hard to imagine what had happened ten thousand years ago.
Why was it destroyed by the Anti-Heaven Cult?
At the same time.
He was also thinking.
How powerful was the Anti-Heaven Cult ten thousand years ago?
How could they have destroyed the Fire God Sect?
He didn't want to think about it.
But when he did, he became angry.
Ten thousand years ago, the Anti-Heaven Cult could destroy the Fire God Sect.
They could throw the Underworld into chaos.
And they could shatter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Now, they were tasked with investigating the monster's information.
Yet, there was still no reply.
How could this be tolerated?
Thinking of this.
Chen Nan took out the communication wooden token again: "A bunch of trash, utterly useless!"
Chen Nan was not one to dwell on things endlessly.
Even if he didn't know the origin of the monster, it wouldn't be a big deal.
It was just that seeing how powerful the former Fire God Sect was, yet it was overthrown by the Anti-Heaven Cult.
Now, when he asked them to investigate something, they took so long to respond.
He felt very displeased.
It was precisely for this reason that he cursed them.
After cursing them, Chen Nan continued towards the main peak of Black Mountain.
The highest point of Black Mountain was over ten thousand meters high.
The higher he went, the more complex the terrain became, with one mountain peak after another of varying heights to traverse.
Even with his spatial domain, Chen Nan felt like he was walking on thin ice.
Accompanied by screams.
Chen Nan arrived at the main peak of Black Mountain around 3 PM.
Which was the site of the Fire God Sect ruins.
Although many people had arrived here long ago.
The Fire God Sect ruins were completely empty.
Not a single person could be seen.
A fiery red spatial gate stood quietly between heaven and earth.
Seeing that many people had already entered to seek opportunities.
Chen Nan also quickly entered.
The next second.
His vision twisted.
It was as if he had crossed the Milky Way and arrived at a desolate Gobi Desert.
"This is actually a small world?"
Chen Nan showed surprise.
He didn't expect the Underworld to have independent small worlds.
However.
He didn't know.
Which deity did the Fire God Sect worship?
Was it truly the Fire God Zhurong?
If so.
It was a coincidence.
Although he didn't know the Fire God Zhurong.
Zhurong the Great God's current life, Cheng Tuo, lived in the Chen family.
Just then.
More people entered from outside.
"Is it you?"
A cold, yet pleasantly surprised voice rang out.
Chen Nan turned around.
Damn!
It really is a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!
He ran into Murong Qing and his grandfather Murong Lan.
This time, his luck seemed really bad!
"Young man, I bet you didn't expect us to meet here?" Murong Qing's expression was ferocious, and a powerful aura emanated from his entire body.
Murong Lan gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Nan, "Why aren't you with your Brother Hu?"
They also didn't expect to encounter Chen Nan as soon as they entered the small world.
Even more so, they didn't expect that monster to not be by his side.
Chen Nan grinned, "My Brother Hu is right behind you!"
"What?"
Murong Qing and his son's scalps tingled.
They turned around nervously.
Only to find...
Nothing.
Turning back in frustration, they found that Chen Nan had already fled hundreds of meters away.
Murong Qing sneered, "Do you think you can escape?"
As he spoke.
He slashed out with his sword.
The sharp long sword, as it was about to hit Chen Nan, was calmly dodged by him.
However, the aura emanating from the long sword cut Chen Nan's cheek.
Causing a spray of blood mist.
Murong Qing's brows furrowed.
He never expected a junior from the Soul Gathering realm to be able to dodge his attack.
At this moment.
Chen Nan looked back with a ferocious smile, "You actually murdered an imperial envoy, just wait for the Bai Shan Cult to be annihilated by the court!"
"Do you think you can survive today?" A cold glint flashed in Murong Qing's eyes, and he turned into an afterimage and chased after him.
