764: 227_3 764: 227_3 Evil People Island, although disunited internally, was extremely xenophobic.
After all, everyone there had enemies; thus, when they saw outsiders enter Evil People Island, if the outsiders weren’t like them—hiding from their enemies—there was a high likelihood they would also suffer a mass attack.
Besides, it was no issue for one person to enter Evil People Island, but if it were two people entering, they were bound to be pursued and killed by everyone on the island.
The rules of Evil People Island stated that only one outsider could enter the island at a time; this was also the sole rule throughout Evil People Island.
It was because of this rule that once you sought refuge on Evil People Island, you hardly had to worry about being hunted by your enemies; the only thing to consider was surviving on Evil People Island.”
After talking about Evil People Island, he whispered, “Aside from Young Master Lian Hua, that woman by his side is Lan Mei, also a top expert of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and likewise hailing from Evil People Island.
Evil People Island is not safe.
Those who set foot on Evil People Island are hardly ever good people.
Therefore, on Evil People Island, you could be ambushed by someone at any moment.
In addition, Evil People Island has a ranking list, identifying the absolute worst offenders not to be trifled with.
On that list, Lan Mei ranks second, even higher than Young Master Lian Hua.”
Having said this, he paused slightly and continued, “Then there’s the man behind them, tall as a tower, known as TaMu, also a high-level expert of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, from Evil People Island as well.
However, it’s said that TaMu, unlike others on Evil People Island, rarely engages in surprise attacks or targets other cultivators.
Although these three come from the same place, Evil People Island is not a single power, and they distrust each other, thus they have not joined forces.
Otherwise, if these three were to combine forces, they would undoubtedly claim the most central position for themselves.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen nodded, curious, and asked, “Then, aside from these individuals, are there any other experts of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?”
Yan Hanlin shook his head and said, “No, there aren’t any more that I am aware of.
After all, that is the level of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, representing the summit of existence during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth!
There aren’t that many experts of that level!”
“Oh, then I’m relieved,” said Cao Zhen, nodding, while Yan Hanlin didn’t think much of it either.
Cao Zhen and his group joined Yan Hanlin’s team, and slowly, two days went by.
More and more people were arriving at the island.
And finally, the entire island began to stir.
It wasn’t the island itself that was moving, but the mountains surrounding it.
As the mountains slowly shifted, a series of deep, rumbling noises could be heard.
The space connecting the two mountain crevices that Cao Zhen had seen before now began to spread apart like two massive gates, slowly pulling to either side.
“The remnant has opened!”
“Finally, this peerless relic can be accessed.”
“It’s uncertain what kind of relic this is!”
“Indeed, there was no island here before—this island seems to have appeared out of nowhere.”
The gap between the two mountains grew wider and wider, but people couldn’t see what lay within.
Endless thick fog surged from the gap, enveloping the crowd.
“Quick, retreat!”
“The fog is too thick, even we can’t make out anything through it!”
“Get out of the fog’s reach!”
Upon seeing the fog, everyone simultaneously chose to back away.
Even those from Thousand Snake Island who occupied the prime spots retreated backwards.
However, the fog continued to spread, swiftly shrouding everyone on the island.
Those who had arrived were of the Golden Core Stage, even seldomly any less than the fifth layer of Golden Core, because although the peerless relic may not necessarily benefit the one with the highest cultivation base at the end,
it all depends on personal fortune.
But if your cultivation base is too low, coming here is akin to courting death.
While most people indeed came for the relic, some were attracted by the relic on one hand but believed that getting treasure from the relic, though excellent, had too low of a chance.
They were actually here to hunt those who came for the relic.
Yet, even though the cultivation bases of the crowd were so high, under the fog, they still couldn’t see their surroundings.
Cao Zhen saw the coming fog, and protective divine powers manifested on his body.
Almost instantly, the recently emerged Gold Light Spell on his body suddenly shook violently—someone had attacked him!
It was a fire-oriented supernatural power, but the power was mediocre and failed to shatter his Gold Light Spell.
His Protective Divine Power remained intact, yet echoes of screams were already rising from around.
Now, with everyone in the fog, no one could see each other.
In such a situation, many chose to form Protective Divine Power immediately, but those who were hunting launched attacks in all directions as their first action; they didn’t care where they struck or who they hit, as long as the ones hit weren’t their own.
Cao Zhen could feel waves of Divine Skills constantly pounding down, striking his Protective Divine Power.
