Chapter 1164 1124: Above Emerald Lake

That day, night!

As the deep twilight descended, the entire Emerald Lake was covered with a color that suffocated the soul.

Yet, even so, at this moment, Emerald Lake was still brightly lit all around, the lights flickering! Many people gathered here, and unlike ordinary people, these individuals not only dressed strangely, some weren't even human!

They were clad in scale armor, feathers stood erect, their presence majestic and imposing, eyes gleaming, whether demon or beast. Obviously, even these demon cultivators were attracted by today's 'century battle'.

There were very few demon cultivator legacies in the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, but as long as one belonged to such a type of existence, their background and origins were certainly impressive and distinguished!

On a wooden boat, Dong Wanlai of the Tianji Sect sat, his eyes scanning the many experts and strong individuals around Emerald Lake at this moment, unable to help but shake his head with a bitter smile, muttering, "Didn't expect Chen Fei to be so formidable, True Person Realm Third Heavenly Layer? Truly failing to recognize a real person face-to-face, blind to the truth."

Clearly, even though he had repeatedly overestimated Chen Fei's strength, when the real 'answer' was right in front of him, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded! Unbelievable.

True Person Realm Third Heavenly Layer? Even in their Tianji Sect, such a height was no more than a handful!

Such people, almost everyone was the pinnacle of pinnacles! The Pillars of the Sky of the Tianji Sect, and now, Chen Fei was such an existence?

Even at that time, they had offended such an existence?

Thinking of this, Dong Wanlai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, with an unspeakable bitter smile saying, "Offended such a person, yet wasn't killed back then... really lucky."

"Master, look..." At this moment, Tang Hua beside Dong Wanlai suddenly pointed to someone on a boat that had just entered Emerald Lake, her voice trembling with some fear, saying, "That, is that someone from the Celestial Demon Sect?"

"Celestial Demon Sect?" Dong Wanlai's eyes also trembled, looking in the direction Tang Hua was pointing, his eyes immediately shrinking in shock, "That's not Lang Xu Taoist, the head of the eighteen war generals of the Celestial Demon Sect? He, he actually came too!?"

The Celestial Demon Sect was also one of the 'Two Sects, Three Sects' in the Giant Spirit Secret Realm!

Even in terms of strength, it was above the White Snake Sect.

And the eighteen war generals of the Celestial Demon Sect corresponded to the level of the Thirteen Protectors of the White Snake Sect! The difference was, Lang Xu Taoist, the leader of the eighteen war generals, was a Third-Level Demonic Beast of the Third Heavenly Layer...

"Haha, those Old Sloppy snakes of the White Snake Sect are truly remarkable! Being knocked down on Earth like this, it's simply a disgrace to us 'Two Sects, Three Sects!" on a wooden boat of the Celestial Demon Sect, a giant wolf head with sharp teeth and dark hair, eyes filled with intimidating cold gleams, laughed arrogantly without reservation.

"Boss, something seems off..." Behind him, a majestic Giant Eagle, with a sharp gold beak, pale silver eyes radiating brilliance, watched the two people on the boat not far away and said with doubt and panic.

"What's off ... hmm? Those are Hee Clan's Hex Jinxiong and Hex Jintu from the White Bone Sect, how come their aura..." the giant wolf head glanced over following the Giant Eagle's gaze, the arrogance on its face instantly freezing. What replaced it was a heavy expression.

"Peak of Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm... both of them are..." the Giant Eagle took a deep breath, saying slowly.

"Hmph! These two guys are really lucky, huh? Seems like the treasure in the hands of Cang Lang helped them a lot..." the giant wolf head snorted coldly, eyes filled with greed and jealousy.

Back then, it wasn't just the Two Hex Brothers alone hunting the Great Outlaw Cang Lang, many people went, because it was rumored that Cang Lang got some supreme treasure, with boundless effects.

But in the end, everyone else returned empty-handed, only the Hee Clan Two Brothers of the White Bone Sect... seems like the treasure fell into their hands? Hmph! Lucky dogs...

At this point, both he and the Giant Eagle beside him, as well as many others present, condensed their gazes, staring at a certain spot in the distance: "Coming?"

Hiss! Hiss... roar.

The next moment, a series of hissing, low roars came from afar, followed by a black dot appearing in the sky at the horizon, rapidly enlarging, finally, a gray snake like a small mountain, twenty to thirty meters long, appeared before everyone.

The giant snake seemed composed of rocks, its body covered in jagged boulders, faint yellow light flickering, emanating a heavy, ancient feeling that oppressed the heart.

"It's Li Baizhou's snake spirit. Seems a bit stronger than half a year ago..." staring at the giant gray snake, the Giant Eagle muttered to itself with some apprehension. Half a year ago, it had fought Li Baizhou, with no victor, but now, it seemed it couldn't win.

Roar!

At this moment, the gray snake let out a low roar, its voice shaking the air for miles, landing in Emerald Lake, stirring up waves! The ripples it created made everyone's eardrums resonate with a thundering sound.

"So many old friends are here? Truly lively, but are you all here to enjoy the White Snake Sect's joke? That's not good..." an icy laugh echoed from the waves.

Following the subsiding waves, the giant snake stood tall in the lake center, like a demon god.

Atop the giant snake were two men and one woman, all elders, instantly becoming the absolute focus of everyone's gaze! Dread filled the air.

"Li Baizhou, six months no see, you're still this arrogant?" the Giant Eagle raised its head, coldly.

"Oh, isn't this Yiing Lie? Whether I'm arrogant, you don't need to worry about that..." Li Baizhou, one of the 'Five Ghosts' of the White Snake Sect, Yellow Ghost Li Baizhou, clad in a white robe, with a skyward hairpin, a Snake Sword slung diagonally at his waist, sneered with slanted eyes.

"You..." the Giant Eagle's face changed slightly, its eyes turning unpleasantly cold.

"Oh, really?" At this time, the giant wolf head lifted coldly, indifferently saying, "Li Baizhou, this place is not where you're the strongest. Advising you to keep a low profile, what? Not convinced?"

Li Baizhou's eyes slightly contracted, coldly smiling, "So it's Lang Xu Taoist. Don't dare, don't dare..."

"Lang Xu, it's been a long time." Next to Li Baizhou, an old man with red hair, as thin as a skeleton, raised his head indifferently, his tone slow and steady. Everyone instantly felt a tightening in their chests, a sense of oppression.

All eyes, filled with shock and doubt, were fixed on this red-haired, emaciated old man.

The leader of the Five Ghosts of White Snake Sect, the Red Scorpion Daoist!

"Brother Scorpion, it's been three years, and you remain as distinguished as ever," the giant wolf head said with a smile that didn't reach its eyes, lightly adding, "But I'm not the main character today. You've come, wouldn't you greet the two Hex brothers?"

The Two Hex Brothers?

The three people on the giant snake were slightly stunned, then their eyes collectively turned towards the small wooden boat on the lake.

One of the Five Ghosts of White Snake Sect, Granny Cui the Green Ghost, wearing a flowery robe and holding a silver snake-headed cane, had a fake smile on her wrinkled old face, just about to greet when the Scorpion Daoist beside her suddenly let out a soft 'hmm'.

"You all..." The Scorpion Daoist's eyes flashed with faint surprise as he looked at Hex Jinxiong and Hex Jintu of the White Bone Sect. He paused for a moment, then raised his hand with a light laugh: "Congratulations, indeed."

On the small wooden boat, the Hex brothers simultaneously removed their straw hats and stood up, lightly saying: "Just luck. Thank you."

As they spoke, a light pressure flowed out, making others involuntarily change color.

"Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm?" Granny Cui and Li Baizhou's pupils simultaneously contracted, and they were stunned for a moment before raising their hands in a daze: "The two of you are incredibly fortunate, simultaneously reaching the Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm, congratulations... congratulations indeed."

All around, there was a silent stillness, devoid of sound.

The Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm was a level long beyond their reach.

"Heh, same happiness..." The Hex brothers lightly smiled at each other when suddenly, their expressions halted, and they collectively looked towards the sky a short distance away.

Not only them, but the others, including the Scorpion Daoist, Granny Cui, Li Baizhou, and those from the Celestial Demon Sect were also looking at the sky.

In the next second, another black dot appeared before their eyes.

Moreover, did that black dot actually transmit a great sense of pressure to them?

"Is it him?" The Scorpion Daoist slightly frowned, muttering. Did this Chen Fei truly possess such strength? No wonder Ma Jinlong and the others fell into his hands...

The others were also wearing expressions of surprise as they frowned at the sky. Quickly, that figure traversed several thousands of meters, abruptly arriving right in front of them. Only then could they clearly see the newcomer's appearance.

He was clad in a black robe, with a body burly as an iron tower, exuding a thick and eerie pressure that made one's heart tremble.

"It's him! No, it's not him, he's not Chen Fei!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim loudly. He had experienced that battle and knew this wasn't Chen Fei, but his senior brother who followed Chen Fei?

"Who is he?" The giant wolf head's arrogant voice exploded heavily in his ear, causing an instant searing pain and bleeding.

"Ah!" With a cry of pain, the man held his ear, his face filled with terror, trembling he said.

"He, he seems to be Chen Fei's senior brother?"

"Senior brother?" The Scorpion Daoist, the Hex brothers, and others frowned, looking at Tongshan, their gazes filled with cold killing intent. Anyone related to Chen Fei was their enemy!

"What are you here for? What, are you courting death beforehand?" The next moment, Li Baizhou stepped forward, releasing a thunderous shockwave, his voice filled with icy menace resonating through the sky.

Hiss! Hiss~

At the same time, his demon pet, the gray snake, also raised its body, its lantern-sized pupils locking onto Tongshan, as demon qi swept forth, overturning the heavens and earth, making it seem like witnessing the end-time, too terrifying!

Bang!

But at the next second, a vast, terrifying pressure, accompanied by gray-white ghostly qi and a massive reverberating sound, roared past everyone's ears like a wild storm surge, causing great holes to appear on the lake's surface...

"Not right! This isn't human aura... are you a Corpse Refiner?!" The Scorpion Daoist's pupils contracted sharply, focusing on Tongshan, his eyes showing immense turbulence and incredulity.

"Corpse Refiner?"

In the sky, Tongshan expressionlessly raised his head, revealing a gray-white, withered face, his pupils exuding a dull, sinister gleam: "The master sent me to test your abilities. Those who aren't qualified, scram!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone changed abruptly, anger appearing on their faces.

But at this moment, Tongshan had already moved!

He took a step forward, and ghostly qi surged, turning the world upside down. In an instant, a white light like a rift-crossing blade slashed towards everyone...

It was Tongshan's claw!
