On the giant crane, Feng Qing'er, dressed in a flowing colorful dress, possessed an ethereal beauty. Beside her stood two elderly men, one in red and the other in green.
Feng Qing'er's eyes met his. Though separated by hundreds of meters, she sensed a familiar aura emanating from the unfamiliar man.
His handsome brows furrowed slightly, a sight that would make anyone want to risk their life for him.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
The old woman in green noticed Feng Qing'er's change and immediately asked.
As a powerful figure sent by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion specifically to protect Feng Qing'er, the green-robed old woman, though not conventionally beautiful, possessed the strength of a genuine five-star Dou Zong, placing her among the top ranks in the entire Northern Region of Central Continent.
Shaking her head slightly, Feng Qing'er glanced indifferently at Mo Tang and the other two, then said, "It's nothing. It's just that the person opposite me gives me a strange sense of familiarity. He's probably not a simple character. We need to be careful."
Having completely concealed her aura, Feng Qing'er couldn't detect anything special about Mo Tang, not even his strength, so she didn't react in any particular way.
Elders Mu and Huo followed Feng Qing'er's gaze and saw Mo Tang and the other two. Upon seeing them, they were immediately shocked.
"He's protected by two experts around the three-star Dou Zong level! Who exactly is this kid?"
Little Fairy Doctor and the Wolf King didn't bother to hide their strength, especially the Wolf King, whose wild and fierce aura clearly indicated he was a powerful member of the magical beast race.
A young man protected by two Dou Zong experts—if he really came from the Northern Region of Central Continent, shouldn't they have heard nothing about him?
After exchanging a glance, both of them became cautious, lest they be caught off guard if anything unexpected happened.
Similarly, Feng Qing'er's heart wasn't as cold and calm as it appeared. She couldn't forget the unsettling feeling she had for Mo Tang.
"Who exactly is he? Why does he give me this feeling of déjà vu? And why do I feel a sense of kinship with him…?"
Thinking this, Feng Qing'er was suddenly startled.
As a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, she was of noble birth. Although she had joined the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, even within the pavilion, she maintained her aloofness and indifference towards everyone except her master, always giving off an aura of unapproachable holiness.
Now, she was actually feeling feelings, even a sense of kinship, towards a strange man, which startled Feng Qing'er...
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qing'er calmed herself down, then turned to the green-robed old woman and asked, "Elder Mu, did any of the other three pavilions come to Tianmu Mountain Range this time?" The old woman,
known as Elder Mu, chuckled and replied, "Hehe, how could they not come?
Tang Ying of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Wang Chen of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, and Mu Qingluan of the Starfall Pavilion—these three most outstanding young people from their respective sects were all sent out...
They have all reached the peak of the Dou Huang level. If they can soak in the Tianshan Blood Pool once, breaking through to the Dou Zong level will be just around the corner. Who would give up such an opportunity?" She
nodded slightly. The strength of the four pavilions was almost equal, and even the successors they cultivated were of similar strength. The
Four Pavilions Assembly is about to begin. Whoever breaks through to the Dou Zong level at this time will naturally stand out among their peers and their name will resound throughout the four pavilions.
"Miss, the Pavilion Master told you to be careful this time before he left.
This year's Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool has attracted many young powerhouses from the Northern Region. Besides the three mentioned earlier, there are others who are equally qualified to compete with you...
So, you should be extra cautious in your actions."
Another elder in red robes said slowly, glancing in the direction of Mo Tang and his companions as he finished speaking.
Feng Qing'er didn't say anything, only nodded silently.
...
...
For the next three days, Mo Tang found a small hilltop and quietly waited for the opening of Tianmu Mountain.
Although many people had come to the entrance again over the past three days, they no longer possessed the aura and commotion that Feng Qing'er had before, so Mo Tang didn't pay any attention to them.
Finally, when the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) began to surge, everyone knew that the climax of this grand event was about to arrive!
"Only those below the Dou Zong level are allowed to enter Tianmu Mountain, so you two can just wait outside for a while..."
Mo Tang looked at Little Fairy Doctor and said with a light smile.
Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly, but her expression was somewhat worried, "Then be careful..."
"Don't worry, I will."
Amidst their deep affection, the Wolf King could only try to downplay his presence.
"Anyway, I'm just a lackey, whatever makes you happy, don't treat me like a human being..."
Glancing indifferently at this silly guy who seemed to be thinking about something again, Mo Tang was too lazy to pay him any attention. He transformed into a whirlwind, instantly sweeping over everyone's heads, and became the first to enter the entrance.
This caused quite a commotion. Everyone stared in shock at the vanishing figure, marveling at the hidden talents among the newcomers, especially one with such terrifying speed.
Feng Qing'er, too, wore a solemn expression, even showing shock…
because just moments after that person left, she had sensed the aura of a member of her own clan… How could she not be astonished?
"How is this possible? How could someone from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan be here? Why didn't I know?"
The Heavenly Phoenix Clan, as a top-tier magical beast race, while not as elusive as the Ancient Void Dragons who hadn't appeared before the world for thousands of years, rarely ventured out.
The clan maintained strict discipline over its members; unless one was an adult, they couldn't even step outside the Phoenix Clan's space.
If it hadn't been for a fortuitous encounter where her clan learned some of Thunder Venerable's secrets, they wouldn't have agreed to let her become his disciple, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.
"Who exactly are you…?"
Her eyes sharpened, and a murderous intent rose within Feng Qing'er, determined to find out the other person's identity.
A flash of lightning enveloped him as he unleashed the Great Perfection level of the Three Thousand Thunder Techniques. His figure blurred into a streak of color as he followed closely behind.
This sudden movement excited the group outside, who all thought to themselves, "This is going to be good!"
"Who was that guy? So brave! Daring to go in before Miss Feng, he's incredibly audacious!"
Some expressed admiration for Mo Tang's actions, but most were actually teasing him.
"Hahaha, I knew coming here was the right decision! Such a good show has already happened at the very beginning. Even if we don't get a spot, it's worth it!"
