Mountain Patrol Military Officer

In the land of Shu, some unique professions emerged. One type is the Demon Hunting Team, which goes to the Demon Battlefield to gather information about scattered demons. The other type are the gold seekers who collect intelligence and explore places rumored to have bizarre treasures, selling the information they gather.

It's all driven by the word "profit"!

Jingguan City is only seven hundred miles from the Ancestor Mountain, and when anomalies appeared on the mountain, all kinds of people took to the stage amid the wind and snow.

Just as the sky was filled with "wise men," a thunderous roar shook heaven and earth. A massive pillar of silver light tore through the thundercloud-covered black sky and struck a hill a few miles away from Ancestor Mountain where troops were stationed.

The hill was directly leveled flat. The thick pillar of silver light struck and seeped into it, revealing intense spatial fluctuations.

The various people who rushed out to see the sight of the silver pillar hitting the hill couldn't help but squint their eyes, their expressions turning serious.

"Spatial teleportation!"

Many among them had seen such teleportation pillars before and knew what they signify. As their eyes focused, elongated beams of light began to descend from the silver pillar.

Banners fluttering, cold gleaming armor as dense as a forest, a multitude of troops appeared.

Leading the group was a person with a pair of upward curled mustaches, slightly yellow eyebrows, a brown-red helmet with golden embellishments on their head, and donning Swallowing Beast Face Lion Armor; wearing a brocade robe embroidered with clouds and strange beasts.

This person was Pei Yanhu, the Deputy Commander of the Sky Patrol Department of Shu.

Beside him, there was an old man with his hair styled like ox horns, rosy nose, and a gourd hanging from his waist, standing out like a crane among the flock, highly incongruous with the surrounding armored troops.

This was none other than Old Man Dong.

At this moment, this member of the Dragon Breeding Clan glanced at the dense crowd in the sky, wiped his nose with his sleeve, and let out a peculiar laugh,

"Ha, since when did Jingguan City have so many experts?"

"It's going to be lively now."

"But still, what's that kid playing at?"

As he said this, Old Man Dong glanced again at the electrical storm above the Ancestor Mountain and the swirling mist, muttering to himself in confusion.

Pei Yanhu did not pay heed to this elder's muttering.

Exchanging a glance with Lu Ming, who was responsible for overseeing this area, he then flickered his gaze and ordered in a deep voice,

"Fierce Mountain anomaly, issue the order to expand the blockade range by five miles outward; no one is allowed to enter the mountain."

The troops that had been teleported over obeyed the command and shouted in a whirlwind, and this command also spread with the sound of the wind, reaching the ears of the dense crowd.

Many among them turned serious, watching the troops move to extend the blockade, showing fear;

The troops from the Government Administrative Office are not to be trifled with, especially those from the Ninth Mountain.

But among them, there were some who were defiant, snorting coldly, "Afraid of what? That Dragon Tiger Colonel has already been summoned to the capital."

"Whether he can return or not is another matter altogether."

"If there really are treasures in this mountain, I don't believe everyone will just stand outside and watch."

And in the interval as this person finished speaking,

"Boom"

A massive explosion sounded, shaking the heavens and the Ancestor Mountain roared as it underwent another transformation.

Thunder thundered intensely in the sky, striking out thick bolts of Thunder Liquid.

The white mist covering the Ancestor Mountain below was roiling violently, like boiled water.

Following a deafening sonic boom, under everyone's gaze, a red light, akin to Divine Fire, broke through the white mist and shot up from the Ancestor Mountain.

Amidst the blazing flames, a gigantic stone tablet over twenty feet tall emerged suddenly, with ancient flowing fire patterns engraved on it, shining brightly and interplaying with the thunder and lightning in the sky, while the murals radiated a primitive and weighty atmosphere.

As the stone tablet shot up into the sky, the void twisted, and the space cracked open like a shattered mirror, forming space rifts with terrifying, unparalleled power.

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply—what was this?

Before anyone could clearly see the engravings on it.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Three massive explosions rang out, causing the heavens and earth to sway.

Three more stone tablets of the same size shot upwards!

Each stone tablet had Divine Fire engravings circulating on it. As the four stone tablets ascended one after another, the black clouds in the sky began to rapidly rotate, forming a huge vortex, as if to engulf the entire sky, exuding an indescribable aura from the stone tablets.

The firelight on them was brilliant, casting the eyes of all kinds of people outside Ancestor Mountain into blazing flames, their hearts ablaze with excitement.

That must be an incredible treasure!

Although the carvings on them were still unclear, the presence of an ancient, timeworn aura meant that the carvings emerging in such a situation must have great significance.

Perhaps they are some great extraordinary inheritance!

Or a vision diagram of some immortal Martial Arts True Intent!

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

In an instant, explosive sounds arose, and one figure after another transformed into arrows shot from the bow, racing towards the sky, triggering ear-piercing explosive sounds.

And right at this moment, from within Ancestor Mountain below the stone tablet, a sharp whistle arose, a blood light burst out from inside, directly swept towards the four stone tablets, moving swiftly like lightning.

This immediately stirred great shock among the crowd!

There's someone still alive inside that mountain?

Someone saw the blood light moving extremely quickly, about to reach the vicinity of the stone tablets, their eyes gleamed with fierce light as they shouted.

Among them, a yellow-robed swordsman formed a Sword finger technique with his hand, pointed towards the blood light, and immediately the Flying Sword beneath him emitted a long sword sound that resonated with the heavens, and the Sword Qi, like a flying waterfall, accompanied by thunder, transformed into a thunderous sword light directly slashing towards the blood light.
