But now, looking at the chaotic situation before him, Chu Yang would not let these little guys expose themselves for the time being.
Especially since only some small sects and minor clans had come, what use would that be?
Letting them take people away was simply a waste, a true destruction of resources.
But if he didn't let them... it seemed he really couldn't afford to offend these small sects and clans at this moment...
At least for now, he genuinely couldn't afford to offend them!
So he could only continue to keep them hidden, waiting for the opportunity.
...
At the top of Vast Mountain.
Since the various heroes of the martial arts world gathered here, they almost immediately noticed. Moreover, strangely, there were no government officials guarding this place, a reality that excited everyone to the extreme...
No government officials intervening meant that... whoever snatched it would claim it for themselves!
Everyone's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
In their rush to take advantage, the various heroes quickly engaged in a fight at the foot of the mountain! A disagreement led directly to violent confrontations!
Who wouldn’t want to be the first to enter?
Anyone who didn’t want to enter was definitely a fool!
The ground was littered with severed limbs and arms, the mountain flowed with fresh blood!
So, by the time the first group of people successfully reached the summit, the path from the foot of the mountain to the top had already turned into a complete slaughterhouse!
At first, they could still count: one hundred dead, three hundred dead... a thousand dead... seven thousand dead...
Later, it became countless, and all the survivors became numb.
However, upon reaching the summit, everyone quickly regained their spirits, because they discovered that within this realm of divine origin, at the location of the shattered Soul Suppressing Stone, there was actually a cold, radiant Peerless Divine Edge slanted there, trembling in the wind.
This sword clearly was not a common item.
This was actually a tautology!
How could something that could suppress the Soul Suppressing Stone be ordinary?
Moreover, it was believed that even a heavenly level precious sword could not achieve this!
And yet the master of this sword was mysteriously absent!
Everyone's eyes turned red instantly.
If such a treasure could be found outside, then what about inside?
As long as they could get their hands on this sword, the trip would not be in vain. Even if they obtained nothing afterward, it would still be worth it; of course, getting more would be even better!
Thus, in the struggle for the precious sword, many more people died, and finally, the person with the highest martial arts skill on-site rushed forward and grasped the sword hilt.
In his mind, with the Divine Sword in his hands, he could shine brightly, killing all around him, dominating the world!
However, reality was never as beautiful as imagined!
As soon as the sword was grasped, thick black gas erupted from the sword body. This black gas had an extremely malicious effect!
This peak heavenly level expert instantly turned into a pile of ashes.
The horrifying sight sent chills down the spines of the onlookers.
After a few more who did not believe in evil attempted different methods only to turn into ashes without exception, no one dared to try again… they could only stand guard there.
Since there was a sword, there must be a master.
Since the sword was still embedded here, it meant the master had not gone far; in other words, the treasure below the mountain must still be intact.
As long as it was still intact, there was still hope.
Human greed, as always, led them to automatically ignore the fact that since this sword could replace the Soul Suppressing Stone to seal the black smoke underneath and prevent its rampage, its power was far beyond their reach. How could the master of such a Divine Sword be inferior to them?
Such an obvious truth, yet the fools remained oblivious, still clinging to the hope that perhaps the sword's master was actually weak, even weaker than them, and if they were right, there might still be a chance to obtain this sword!
