Chapter 378 Gathering of Heroes

Beixue Peak, one of the Five Heroes of the righteous path, is led by Hu Yuzhi, the only female leader among the Five Heroes.

She is not only a goddess in the hearts of countless male cultivators, but also the subject of a certain sect leader's crazy pursuit in the demonic path. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain, all because of her extraordinary strength.

Hu Yuzhi's arrival caused a stir among the cultivators. Everyone looked at her with fervent admiration, as male cultivators admired her and female cultivators worshipped her, making her popular among both genders.

Six white-clad women carried a crystal sedan chair through the air, instantly becoming the most eye-catching presence on the entire grassland. The sedan chair was covered by a veil, and one could vaguely see Hu Yuzhi sitting inside. As the sedan chair approached the giant pit, Hu Yuzhi's voice rang out, "I didn't expect a piece of celestial stone to attract such a commotion."

Her voice was cold, yet it made people itch to catch a glimpse of the owner of that voice.

The powerful figures sitting on flying artifacts couldn't sit still and stood up respectfully, gazing at the sedan chair.

The Five Heroes of the righteous path and the Nine Lords of the demonic path were mutually resentful, but because Hu Yuzhi was the dream companion of countless people, she was highly favored in both the righteous and demonic paths. This was also related to the fact that she had a close relationship with the leader of the top-ranked Haori Alliance in the demonic path. Although the other four heroes of the righteous path were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to exert pressure, as the righteous path was already weaker than the demonic path. If they pushed Beixue Peak aside, they would truly have no way to compete.

"Now that Leader Hu has arrived, why don't we let her set the rules to avoid bloodshed?" a steward from the Night Moon Divine Sect, named Xie Lai, said with a smile. With cultivation at the third level of the Immortal Realm, he was respected wherever he went, but in front of Hu Yuzhi, he didn't dare to act arrogantly.

"Hmph! It's all about who has the stronger power. Why should we set the rules?" a black-robed old man sneered. He was from the Haishi Sect, one of the Nine Lords of the demonic path, with cultivation at the fourth level of the Immortal Realm, and was well-known with the nickname "Xiao Ghost Hand."

His words immediately gained the agreement of many cultivators.

Jokingly, if they let Hu Yuzhi set the rules, would the demonic cultivators get any benefits?

Many cultivators from the righteous path also expressed their agreement with Xiao Ghost Hand's view. Xie Lai's proposal was clearly an attempt to ally with Beixue Peak, and there was not a single fool present.

Yi Wu Hui slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the sedan chair in the sky, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Why aren't you making a move?" Hu Yuzhi's voice came from the sedan chair again, making most of the people present feel embarrassed.

It wasn't that they didn't want to make a move, but they didn't dare to. The cultivators who had died in front of the mysterious power of the celestial stone were already beyond estimation. Now, they were all waiting to see if the stone would be shattered by a powerful figure before they could pick up the pieces.

"Since you don't want to make a move, then leave!" Hu Yuzhi's voice revealed an irresistible dominance, instantly stirring up anger among the crowd.

But in the face of interests, the cultivators were unwilling to back down.

"Why should we leave?"

"Is this your territory, Beixue Peak?"

"Haha, do you want to monopolize the celestial stone?"

"The Five Heroes of the righteous path and the Nine Lords of the demonic path have come, and you, as a leader, don't feel ashamed to compete for resources with us?"

Both the righteous and demonic cultivators were complaining and cursing, causing the six white-clad women carrying the sedan chair to look frosty, their eyes full of killing intent.

Xie Lai from the Night Moon Divine Sect couldn't help but smirk. Although he had initially praised Hu Yuzhi, he was also happy to see her offend everyone. After all, among the forces present, no one was a match for Hu Yuzhi.

Xiao Ghost Hand sneered, "Although Leader Hu is strong, we are not to be trifled with. If we join forces, what is there to fear?"

With someone taking the lead, others naturally followed suit, especially in this situation, where banding together was the best option.

At this moment, Hu Yuzhi suddenly lifted the veil and stood at the edge of the sedan chair, looking down at everyone. She wore a luxurious white robe adorned with various jade beads, a phoenix crown on her head, and a delicate face filled with disdain for the world. She spoke slowly, "Since you are so insistent, don't blame me for being impolite."

As she spoke, a murderous intent permeated the air, filling the heavens and the earth like a cold wind.

Everyone nervously summoned their artifacts, ready for battle at any moment.

The leader of the Five Heroes of the righteous path, even if she was a woman, had definitely climbed to her position on a mountain of corpses. It was almost impossible for her to be merciful.

"Oh, is Beixue Peak so domineering?" At that moment, a mocking voice rang out, and everyone turned to see the first genius of the Abyss Gate, An Lang, standing with his arms crossed, looking at Hu Yuzhi with a mocking smile on his face.

"The first genius of the demonic path, An Lang!" someone exclaimed, causing a commotion.

Hu Yuzhi furrowed her brows slightly. She scolded, "An Lang, what are you doing here?"

"Of course, I am here on the orders of our sect leader, Nangong Lie Tian!" An Lang said with a proud smile, puffing out his chest.

Nangong Lie Tian!

These four words seemed to be filled with a magical power that silenced everyone.

Although the Abyss Gate was the stepping stone for Qin Emperor's fame, Nangong Lie Tian was a presence in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking!

Before Nangong Lie Tian became famous, he had never been defeated in battle!

Of course, the news that he had been effortlessly defeated by an old man had not yet spread. The Abyss Gate treated this matter as a taboo, forbidding it from being spread or discussed, and anyone who violated this rule would be beheaded.

Hu Yuzhi also fell silent. While she was absolutely confident in dealing with An Lang, if she offended Nangong Lie Tian, the entire Beixue Peak would likely face disaster.

Nangong Liètiān is known as a madman. If you provoke him, he would even dare to enter the North Snow Peak alone, causing great casualties even with the assistance of the other four heroes of the righteous path.

The enmity between a piece of extraterrestrial stone and Nangong Liètiān must be carefully considered.

"I hope Lord Hu Feng won't be too overbearing!"

At this moment, another voice came, and Jīn Wúhuǐ strolled over, dressed in black, exuding a sharpness like a drawn sword, making it impossible to ignore him.

Seeing Jīn Wúhuǐ appear, Hú Yùzhì's face became even uglier, while the cultivators were even more surprised.

Although Jīn Wúhuǐ belonged to the righteous path, everyone knew that his master was from the Holy Dynasty, and his identity was terrifying, surpassing even Nangong Liètiān.

Hú Yùzhì fell silent, and dusk gradually approached.

At the same time, Qín Jūn and Nézhā were leisurely walking towards the huge pit, looking at the crowd ahead. Qín Jūn sighed, "So lively."

If Nézhā hadn't sensed that Chang'e had not yet been born, how could he be so carefree?

"Your Majesty, it seems like they are vying for the ownership of the extraterrestrial stone," Nézhā smiled, with a mischievous look on his face.

With him around, who could take the extraterrestrial stone from Qín Jūn?

"Let's wait for the reaction of the extraterrestrial stone."

Qín Jūn nodded. According to the system, Chang'e could only wake up on her own. Even if he stood beside her and shouted for half a day, Chang'e wouldn't hear him. [End of this chapter]
