However, it now appeared that Nangong Tian didn't care about his life at all. In that case, the Nangong n.o.bles' plan was definitely not as simple as seeking mere vengeance.

'What exactly is their plan?'

Yan Yin looked towards the Tree of G.o.d and the rainbow that descended from the sky, and he sensed an ominous feeling too.

At this moment, Nangong Hao, who was floating in mid-air, started moving.

With Nangong Hao at the center, nine snow-white flowers gradually appeared and revolved around him continuously. At the meantime, his eyes went through an eerie transformation.

One of his eyes was red as blood while the other was pure and white. They gave off completely different vibes yet they both appeared on Nangong Hao's body.

At this instance, a terrifying force of absorption started spreading towards the surrounding area like the ocean waves and formed a blackhole-like vortex around him.

"Oh no, stop him now!" Yan Yin's expression changed drastically. Just as he wanted to rush towards Nangong Hao, someone blocked his way.

"Yan Yin, I am not dead yet!" There was blood on the corner of Nangong Tian's mouth, but the excitement on his face remained unchanged.

"Nangong Tian, you're digging your own grave!"

Boom! Following a deafening bang, the two of them became entangled in a fight again. The surrounding rubbles flew everywhere due to the incessant explosions.

However, just as Nangong Tian had mentioned, even though Yan Yin was at the peak of Sage State, he still couldn't beat Nangong Tian in a short time.

Mu Qingfeng obviously noticed that.

After he saw Nangong Hao's transformation, he couldn't keep his cool any longer unlike his usual self. After all, as one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, he didn't wish to see too many changes in the world.

"Old Mo, let's do it!" As Mu Qingfeng said that, he had already rushed out towards Nangong Hao like a stream of light.

Mo Shans.h.i.+'s eyes lit up after hearing him.

"It's been a long time since I last exercised. I'll loosen up my body properly today!" Mo Shans.h.i.+ didn't hesitate because he was already agitated by Bai Fei's words.

Now that Mu Qingfeng had already moved, how could he keep on wasting time?

Mo Shans.h.i.+ disappeared on the spot after he moved. In the next moment, he appeared in the air, right behind Mu Qingfeng.

Two of the strongest masters of the Holy Region attacked simultaneously.

This was definitely a rare sight that might only appear once in a century. At the very least, the surrounding disciples became excited for some reason when they saw this.

"Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ attacked simultaneously!"

"Their auras are so overwhelming. Is this the power of the strongest masters of the Holy Region?"

"They are too powerful!"

The disciples held their weapons tightly when they saw Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ charging towards Nangong Hao. However, no one was foolish enough to join the fight.

After all, a fight of this caliber wasn't just about the numbers. If there were too many of them, they would just hold the masters back or even hurt them by accident.

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up at this moment.

He knew a thing or two about Mu Qingfeng's strength. He was definitely stronger than Nine Pinnacles Mountain's previous leader, Tian Xing. Furthermore, he didn't even possess a Gifted Bloodline.

Meanwhile, Mo Shans.h.i.+ was the master of Fu Xi Valley, and he was already so old. Hence, it was unrealistic to think that he was weak.

As the saying went, 'Man gets better with age'.

Although Fang Zhengzhi had never tested that theory personally, it didn't mean that he must try it out to know it was true.

For example…

A young boy's urine was rumored to be able to cure all poisons!

Who would test it out unless he had nothing better to do?

Since he was just a bystander, Fang Zhengzhi was happy to be a competent cheerleader now that Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ decided to step in.

"Do your best, old men!" Fang Zhengzhi was actually cheering loudly.

However, as soon as he said that, two people wearing black cloaks appeared in front of Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ out of nowhere.

It was Nine Pinnacles Mountain's elders again.

"Pavilion Master Mu, Valley Master Mo, our leader has said that Nangong Hao's life is ours for the taking. Please step back!" One of them spoke.

"Screw off!" Mo Shans.h.i.+ didn't waste any time talking to the elders this time. Although the Five Sects of the Holy Region had always been allies, it didn't mean that he could tolerate Nine Pinnacles Mountain's insolence again and again.

As Mo Shans.h.i.+ said that, his palm struck towards the two elders. In that split second, his hand seemed to have become as huge as a mountain.

There was a ma.s.sive shadow floating above the hand. It was an extremely complicated pattern, and it looked like some sort of ancient formation.

Boom!

The two elders were blasted away by five steps. The black cloaks covering their faces were blown upwards and revealed two extremely young faces.

"Such a powerful blow!"

"Those two elders of Nine Pinnacles Mountain are extraordinarily powerful too. They were only forced back by five steps rather than getting blown away?"

"Impressive!"

The spectating disciples were shocked by the exchange between the masters.

However, Mo Shans.h.i.+ squinted and a chilling flash appeared in his eyes as he glanced at the two elders.

"Hmm? You aren't from Nine Pinnacles Mountain. Who exactly are you people?" As Fu Xi Valley's master, Mo Shans.h.i.+ naturally knew about Nine Pinnacles Mountain's elders to a certain extent.

However, these two people were definitely strangers to him. They were obviously not Nine Pinnacles Mountain's elders, whether judging by their strength or by their appearances.

"Valley Master Mo, you must be joking. If we aren't from Nine Pinnacles Mountain, where else could we've come from?" The two elders smiled faintly when they heard him.

"Hmph, I'll reveal your true ident.i.ty today no matter who you are!" Mo Shans.h.i.+ didn't continue questioning them because he knew that it would just be wasting time.

Mo Shans.h.i.+ jolted and pounced towards them again. The complicated pattern appeared on top of his head once more and it seemed to be covering his body. Streams of golden light gradually began flowing on his face and his hands.

"Eh? What's that?" Fang Zhengzhi saw the transformation on Mo Shans.h.i.+. He was sure that Mo Shans.h.i.+ didn't possess a Gifted Bloodline either.

However, the complicated pattern above his head seemed to have given him a mighty power similar to that of a Gifted Bloodline.

This was definitely a new discovery.

However, there wasn't much time to study it at the moment because Mu Qingfeng also attacked at the same moment as Mo.

He pointed his finger at one of the elders.

There was a thunderous bang.

It was a finger sword.

Combined with Mu Qingfeng's unbelievable speed, the attack appeared in front of that elder almost instantaneously. Its sharp aura was aiming straight for his chest.

"Pavilion Master Mu, are you disregarding the alliance between the Five Sects of the Holy Region?!" The elder made a weird noise as the finger closed in on him. Then, his body somehow s.h.i.+fted to the left, leaving only a faint shadow behind.

"A shadow clone?" Mu Qingfeng squinted. He obviously wasn't deceived by that elder's words because he also saw the two elders' faces clearly when Mo Shans.h.i.+ attacked them.

Although he didn't know what had happened to Nine Pinnacles Mountain, that quick glimpse was enough for him to confirm their ident.i.ties.

They weren't Nine Pinnacles Mountain's elders!

In that case, there was nothing to worry about!

The radiance on the tip of his finger sword suddenly split into two and shott towards the figure at the side.

Boom! That figure which had s.h.i.+fted to the side dissipated immediately, and only the original 'faint shadow' remained. It was now obvious that the shadow clone was actually his actual body.

At the meantime, he heard an explosion beside him. It was clear that Mo Shans.h.i.+ had landed another attack on the other elder.

The two elders were blown away again.

Only this time, their black cloaks were completely destroyed and could no longer conceal their freakishly young faces.

"Eh? They are so young?!"

"How could Nine Pinnacles Mountain's elders look like that?"

"Wait, I don't think they are Nine Pinnacles Mountain's elders. Who are they?"

The disciples on the ground saw this scene clearly. After all, the two elders were overly young.

In fact, they were too freakishly young.

Rumble!

There was a bang not too far away from them. It was due to the clash between Fu Xi Valley's Eight-clawed Silver Dragon Formation and the other two elders of Nine Pinnacles Mountain.

The ma.s.sive Eight-clawed Silver Dragon Formation roared continuously and blasted those two elders away too. Their black cloaks were also destroyed, revealing two extraordinarily young faces just like the other two elders.

"None of them are Nine Pinnacles Mountain's elders!"

"What's going on? How did Nine Pinnacles Mountain's people become like this?"

"If they aren't from Nine Pinnacles Mountain, then, where are Nine Pinnacles Mountain's people?"

The disciples below were dumbfounded when they saw the four elders' faces.

After all, this was the Heaven Alliance Meeting!

Who would dare to cause troubles here?

Most importantly, who was strong enough to cause troubles here while pretending to be Nine Pinnacles Mountain?

The disciples had many questions, however, they got their answered very quickly. That was because Mo Shans.h.i.+ and Mu Qingfeng attacked again, and the two elders before him couldn't seem to hold their ground much longer. As they fell back, smooth, sh.e.l.l-like scales started appearing on their bodies.

"Scales?!"

"They are… Monsters!"

"Monsters?!"

All the disciples reacted almost instantaneously because there was only one explanation for their youthful appearances and the scales on their bodies.

They were monsters!

Only monsters looked like that!

"Monsters?! Shouldn't they be at the Great Swamp? Why would the monsters appear at the Heaven Alliance Meeting? What are they trying to do?"

"Oh no, did Nangong n.o.bles and the monster race join forces?"

"How is that possible?"

Many people exclaimed with surprise.

Many diverted their attention to the four monsters and Nangong Hao. The disciples' minds were filled with countless questions and speculations.

Nangong Tian's expression also changed at this instance.

"Monsters?" Nangong Tian looked up at the sky. It was apparent that even he didn't understand why the monsters would show up here at this moment.

"Head of Nangong family, how could you join forces with the monsters?" Yan Yin's gaze became increasingly chilling after he saw that.

"As a human, you could devise cunning plans, or even do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. However, forming an alliance with the monsters is obviously breaking the biggest taboo!"

"Nonsense, us Nangong n.o.bles are the descendants of Yan Huang. Why do we need to work with the monsters!" Nangong Tian stared at Yan Yin, and he looked a little mad.

"Descendants of Yan Huang? You?" Yan Yin scoffed.

"Haha, if us Nangong n.o.bles are not qualified to be called Yan Huang's descendants, then I'm afraid that no one in this world would dare to call himself a Yan Huang's descendant!"

"Stop spouting nonsense. Die!"

"Yan Yin, you can't stop us. We are destined to win this battle!"

"In your dreams!"

After the argument, Yan Yin and Nangong Tian started fighting again. No one dared to stand around them because of the violent aura.

At this moment, Dao Hun, who had been sitting in front of Yin Yang Hall's corner, stood up. After his menacing mask, a chilling flash appeared in his eyes.

"The monster race had remained hidden in the Great Swamp for over a decade. I didn't expect them to come out now, and even interfere with the Heaven Alliance Meeting. It seems like… Nine Pinnacles Mountain is probably non-existent already!" Instead of looking at the four monsters in the sky, Dao Hun glanced at Fang Zhengzhi, who was hiding behind the statue, and said, "If I'm right, this has something to do with Fang Zhengzhi."

"Something to do with Fang Zhengzhi?" One of the elders standing behind Dao Hun was clearly surprised when he heard that.

"It's probably thanks to the monster race that Fang Zhengzhi had survived!"

"Hallmaster, this sounds reasonable. Fang Zhengzhi definitely didn't stand a chance of escaping from Nine Pinnacles Mountain alone. It must be the monster race helping him secretly!"
