Wow!
Jin Chanzi and Yang Jian are going to fight?
Qin Jun was suddenly anxious. He never expected Jin Chanzi to suddenly become so tough, as if he had changed into a different person. Perhaps this was the real him.
"Please restrain yourselves!"
Qin Jun said in a deep voice, needing to assert his authority to prevent these two guys from escalating the situation.
In the past, everyone's cultivation levels were similar, so they were somewhat wary of each other. But Yang Jian was different. He was extremely arrogant and, coupled with his formidable strength, he probably didn't tolerate anyone other than Qin Jun.
Jin Chanzi appeared lazy, but he was, after all, the second disciple of the Tathagata, and he had a sense of justice that didn't fear authority.
"I know you are strong, but there are always things in the world that need to be respected."
Jin Chanzi said in a deep voice, while feeling shocked in his heart. Just how strong was Yang Jian?
Even standing in front of Yang Jian, who was at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he felt as if he were in the midst of a stormy sea.
"Hmph, I only know that in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is futile and weak!" Yang Jian said in a deep voice.
Seeing his almost obsessive attitude, Qin Jun couldn't help but think of the legend of Yang Jian saving his mother on Mount Tao. Although he had tried to defy fate, he ultimately submitted to the authority of the Jade Emperor.
Since then, the affectionate and righteous Yang Jian was no more, replaced by the merciless God of War.
"Alright, enough from both of you. You each have your own beliefs, so why argue!" Qin Jun said helplessly, feeling a variety of emotions. It seemed that every situation needed to be balanced, and without restraints on the Erlang God's existence, such friction might happen again in the future.
Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi and Yang Jian had to keep quiet, but their eyes still showed their unwillingness to back down.
"Let's continue forward!"
Qin Jun said in a deep voice, earning the admiration of the talented individuals like An Lang. Qin Jun was able to suppress both Yang Jian and Jin Chanzi. If it were them, they would have been overwhelmed by the imposing aura of Yang Jian and Jin Chanzi and would have said whatever they wanted.
The group continued to move forward, but the atmosphere became increasingly eerie.
After Yang Jian dispersed the black mist with a stomp, it quickly reappeared, clearly heading towards Qin Jun and the others, making them nervous.
Jin Chanzi followed at the back of the group, reciting Buddhist scriptures as if avoiding something.
As they continued on, they encountered more and more corpses, all of which had been drained of blood and flesh, and from the expressions on their faces, it was clear that they had suffered great pain before their deaths.
"The Black Jiao Mountain Range seems to be somewhat unusual."
In the Observing Heaven Palace, Black Butterfly Fairy pondered, and the other star masters also sensed that something was amiss.
Only to hear the Great Star Official say in a deep voice, "Underneath the Black Jiao Mountain Range, the suppressed resentment runs deep and is tending towards becoming demonic."
Hiss—
Upon hearing this, all the star officials gasped, including Yao Xu.
"If that's the case, why not seal off the Black Jiao Mountain Range?" Black Butterfly Fairy said in a deep voice, finding it hard to imagine the depth of that resentment.
"Do we have the strength to seal it off?" the Great Star Official raised an eyebrow, leaving Black Butterfly Fairy at a loss for words.
The Observing Heaven Realm existed independently and was controlled by the World Spirit. In fact, the Observing Heaven Realm had another identity, which was the prison of the God Temple.
However, the Observing Heaven Assembly was only held on the ground, and those prisoners were all confined and imprisoned. With the strength of the participants, they couldn't possibly save them.
For thousands of years, there had been very few incidents of prisoner riots, and every Observing Heaven Assembly had proceeded smoothly.
"Shouldn't this matter be reported to the Lord of the Temple?" a star official asked, and the others also looked at the Great Star Official.
"It has been reported. The Lord said to wait and see, and we are not to intervene until the Observing Heaven Assembly is over!" the Great Star Official said in a deep voice, feeling irritated. He had finally set his sights on a genius, only to have that person possibly killed by the resentment of the prisoners. How could he be happy?
Where else could they find a monster like Qin Jun, who casually comprehended divine abilities and easily defeated the talented individuals of the Heavenly Immortal realm?
Thinking this, the Great Star Official couldn't help but clench his fists.
...
Qin Jun was still unaware that the crisis ahead had made the Observing Heaven Palace nervous. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
The greater the crisis, the greater the surprise.
Moreover, Yang Jian wasn't nervous at all, still walking ahead with a proud and imposing manner.
"Woo-woo-woo—"
Suddenly, a ghostly wail came from the front, making everyone's hair stand on end.
Qin Jun also furrowed his brow. Was it about to appear?
At this moment, he suddenly saw shadows appearing in the black mist ahead, like eerie illusions. In the blink of an eye, countless black shadows emerged, surrounding them.
"What is that..."
A talented individual from the Southern Region asked in a trembling voice, looking at the indistinct figures. Everyone felt a chill, even Qin Jun was somewhat frightened.
Yang Jian snorted and took out the Three-Pointed Battle God's Blade, striding forward.
"Whoever you are, show yourself quickly!" Yang Jian said in a deep voice, thundering like a roar, instantly dispersing all the black shadows. But the next moment, those shadows reappeared, driving them away.
Jin Chanzi looked serious, scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.
The ground began to tremble more violently, startling Qin Jun and the others into taking flight.
The entire mountain range began to crack open, and eerie black shadows flew out from the cracks, all in human form, like ghosts, making everyone's scalp tingle.
"I refuse to accept... I hate... I hate, ahhh..."
A terrifying voice suddenly exploded, causing Qin Jun and the others' eardrums to ache, feeling as if the world was spinning and almost falling.
The eighteen star officials in the Observing Heaven Palace were extremely nervous.
Yang Jian looked down and saw that the red mark between his eyebrows suddenly split open, revealing an eye that was extremely eerie.
The Heavenly Eye!
"Hmph! So it turns out it's a mass of resentment causing trouble!"
Yang Jian snorted coldly, immediately wielding the War God's Trident and thrusting it down. With a deafening roar, the earth within a radius of a hundred miles trembled, startling the participants from afar.
In an instant, the ground beneath Qin Jun's feet exploded. Under the terrifying force of magic, soil and rocks flew into the air. To Qin Jun and the others, it seemed as if the entire world was collapsing, leaving them both visually and audibly shaken.
The next moment, an invisible force enveloped Qin Jun and the others, and then Yang Jian's figure flickered and disappeared into thin air.
Qin Jun looked down and saw him burrowing into the ground.
Seeing Yang Jian's bold move, clearly unafraid of what lay beneath the surface, Qin Jun felt reassured.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Jin Chanzi instantly appeared behind Qin Jun, raising his palm and striking upwards. A black shadow descending from the sky was directly dispersed, startling Qin Jun.
Even with the activation of the Array Dao Secret, he had not sensed the attack of the black shadow. Fortunately, Jin Chanzi was there; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"What are these black shadows exactly..." Qin Jun asked in fear.
"They are resentful spirits. The deceased must have had terrifying cultivation levels in their lifetime, giving rise to extremely strong resentful spirits," Jin Chanzi said with a grave expression.
Looking around, black shadows were everywhere, too numerous to count, creating a terrifying scene under the starry sky and amidst the dust and smoke.
