Chapter 1167 – Prisoner’s Sand Mountain
“It’s really her.”
Greedy Wolf’s eyes flashed with surprise, back then, he and Mercy Star bet, won away the Heavenly Star Stone from Mercy Star’s hands, and also made Mercy Star hold a grudge against this woman.
After losing the bet, Mercy Star struck out at her, and on a whim, he saved this woman from under Mercy Star’s hand and casually threw her out of the domain.
Now that more than a hundred years had passed, Xu Chuniang had broken through two realms in a row, advancing from a minor cultivator in the Human Demon Realm to the Heavenly Demon Realm.
When he had sent someone to send her outside the domain, he had said that as long as she broke through to the Earthly Demon After Realm, she would be allowed to return to the Demon Realm.
Unexpectedly, she didn’t even answer to his own people, cultivated to the Heavenly Demon Realm with her own hard work, returned to the Demon Realm, and even fought with the two Highnesses that he had personally appointed without losing a fight.
Greedy Wolf rubbed his fingers, and the color of interest flowed from his eyes.
From Xu Chuniang’s style of behavior, he was able to tell that she was a person with strength and initiative.
And he, Northern Realm, was in need of such fresh blood.
“Go find out where this Xu Chunniang came from.”
“Yes.”
The people at the bottom saluted and retreated, and silence returned to the hall.
Greedy Wolf stepped down from the throne and slowly walked towards the terrace from the side door, quietly gazing at the map of the mountains and rivers hanging empty next to the terrace.
The Devil Race was a warlike race, and the seemingly peaceful Four Heavens had never actually been truly peaceful.
The map of the mountains and rivers was divided into four parts by a few lines.
The territory in the north, called the Northern Realm, was governed by the Greedy Wolf.
The remaining three territories had their own owners.
The four of them were demarcated and ruled by boundaries, and there were constant disputes between them, yet they maintained superficial peace and did not completely tear each other apart.
Such a situation has been maintained for tens of thousands of years.
Greedy Wolf had the intention to change the status quo, but so far, little had been achieved.
Unless he could go further in his cultivation and break through to the Underworld Demon Realm, only then would he have the strength to crush the remaining three.
However, once he did take that step, it would mean that he would have to give up everything in the Fourth Heaven and head to the Fifth Heaven.
Greedy Wolf withdrew his gaze and looked towards the sand tray on the terrace, and the several flags in it.
He knew in his heart that with his strength, he would most likely not be able to unify the entire Four Heavens.
Therefore, he switched his goal and dedicated himself to selecting a new king for the Northern Realm, and for this reason, he personally appointed ten Highnesses, giving them privileges and the best resources.
Greedy Wolf did this because he hoped that these picked people would be able to do what he couldn’t.
Therefore, he was not unaware of the small movements between several people, but he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
The new king of the northern realm, should have been born from the sharpening, a few people dumped the more ruthless, the final birth of the new king, the strength will be stronger.
If Xu Chuniang was able to survive under the hands of Mureyun and Old Eight, perhaps, he could make an exception for her.
Xu Chuniang didn’t realize that she had once again fallen into Greedy Wolf’s eyes.
After disappearing into the void, she didn’t stay inside in it for much longer, but instead sought an opportunity to tear through space once more and reenter the Four Heavens.
It was just that at this time, although she was still in the Four Heavens, she was many thousands of miles away from where she was before.
At a glance, the surroundings were filled with yellow sand, without half a silhouette.
She wasn’t even sure if this place was still within the Northern Realm.
Without exploring the situation, Xu Chuniang did not make a move and quietly used her divine soul power to sense the boundaries of the yellow sands.
But this stretch of sand was as if it was endless, and it was impossible to know in which direction the way out was.
She tried taking out the Star Asking Disk, but unfortunately, the pointer on the Star Asking Disk kept jumping around, making it unusable. Xu Chuniang simply withdrew the Star Asking Disk and the power of her Divine Soul, recognized a direction, and rushed on in a stifled manner.
After two or three days of walking in this manner, she was about to confirm her direction when a huge suction force suddenly arose from below, causing the sand beneath her feet to continuously sink.
The surrounding sand also poured madly in the direction from which the suction force came.
Sensing that something was wrong, Xu Chuniang rushed to get rid of the suction before her body was buried by the sand, dodging out of the way.
She was about to trace the source of the suction, but she saw four or five figures in the distance, hurrying towards this direction, aiming at the very place where the suction had appeared.
Upon seeing her, several people were visibly stunned and quickly exchanged a look.
Soon, they reached a consensus, and one of them cupped his fists towards Xu Chuniang as a salute.
“I’m sorry, we didn’t know that someone was already here and accidentally disturbed fellow Daoist, we’ll leave now.”
“Wait.”
Before Xu Chuniang could speak, their faces had already changed.
“We didn’t know that this place was already occupied, we didn’t intend to intrude and have already apologized, there’s no need for you, Taoist friend, to hold on to it, right?”
Seeing the wary look on several people’s faces, Xu Chuniang knew that they had misunderstood her meaning and said succinctly.
“You guys have misunderstood, I accidentally stumbled into this place by mistake, and have no intention of making things difficult for you.”
A few people looked at her, their expressions skeptical.
Xu Chuniang pointed at the place where the sand was still sinking, her tone calm.
“You guys seem to have come here for this reason, I can let you have what’s down here, but in exchange, you’ll have to tell me where this is and everything about this place.”
“Okay, deal.”
They had come here for this reason, there was no reason not to agree to it, and get the treasure first.
They left two people outside to receive it, while the remaining three jumped into the ever-sinking pit, their bodies soon being buried cleanly.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chuniang was secretly surprised, but on the face did not move, only quietly measuring the movement of those sand.
She realized that after a few people jumped into the pit, the speed of the sand sinking was obviously faster.
A large amount of sand fell into the pit along with the suction force, but she didn’t know where it went.
The two who stayed outside, always keeping an eye on Xu Chuniang’s movements, were relieved to see that she didn’t take advantage of the others going down to make a move against them.
A quarter of an hour later, the speed at which the sand was sinking significantly slowed, and in the end, it came to a complete standstill.
Three figures successively crawled out from under the yellow sand, with uplifted looks on their faces, only when they saw that Xu Chuniang was still there, the joyful looks on their faces tightened up a lot.
One of them looked towards Xu Chuniang and coughed lightly, “Sorry to keep you waiting, if there’s anything you want to know, feel free to ask.”
“Where is this place? Is it still within the Northern Realm?”
“This is Prisoner Sand Mountain, located north of the Northern Realm, but not under the Northern Realm’s jurisdiction.”
“Prisoner Sand Mountain.”
Xu Chuniang and Vine confirmed that the memories of those devoured Northern Realm cultivators did have memories related to this name.
In those memories, Prisoner Sand Mountain had a harsh environment, with yellow sand covering the sky everywhere.
However, this place was rich in heavy stones, which was why despite the remote location and harsh environment of Prisoner Sand Mountain, there were still many people who were keen to come here to explore.
Heavy stone is a heavenly devil level treasure, although the use of a single, can only be used for refining weapons, but a fist-sized piece of heavy stone, at least is worth 50,000 to 60,000 magic crystals.
Xu Chuniang realized that, in all likelihood, it was the heavy stone that caused that commotion. (End of chapter)
