Upon seeing the scene before them, Lu Fan's brow furrowed. He glanced towards a distant helicopter and mused, "This Beihai Peak is usually deserted. Why would there be a helicopter?"
"They're probably patrolling the area!" Lin Ke said casually. "Otherwise, why would they be here!"
"This isn't a Dragon Dynasty helicopter!" Long Yi shook his head. "It must belong to some faction, but it's not a major concern! As long as it's not an ancient sect, it doesn't matter."
"What if it is an ancient sect?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, yet he appeared somewhat serious. The inexplicable appearance of a helicopter on nearly the same route made him quite surprised.
Long Yi was also slightly startled. Just as Lu Fan said, none of them could be certain if the other party was from an ancient sect. If they were, they might be after the Dragon Roar Sword.
As they were in doubt, the helicopter behind them accelerated, heading towards Beihai Peak as if it had a prior intention.
"Should we shoot them down!" Lin Ke suggested. "If we let them enter Beihai Peak first, it won't be so easy to obtain the Dragon Roar Sword!"
"We still don't know the situation. It's not appropriate to act rashly," Lu Fan said. "Once we reach Beihai Peak, we'll make plans."
Everyone nodded slightly. Since Lu Fan was leading this time, they naturally had to follow his lead.
Ye Shisan was quite direct, lying down on the helicopter, appearing calm and unconcerned.
"Young Master Ye, you are a descendant of the Ye clan. What level of cultivation have you reached?" Long Yi asked. "That day in Longdu, you could contend with the Dean. Your strength must be extraordinary!"
"If I'm not mistaken, among the descendants of the five ancient clans, my strength should be the strongest!" Ye Shisan fanned himself with a paper fan. "But then again, you are indeed not weak, as you are all inheritors of the bloodline of the five ancient clans."
"You must have reached the fifth or sixth stage of Battle Emperor!" Lu Fan spoke again. "To possess such combat power at such a young age is truly astonishing. I wonder how terrifying the Ye clan truly is!"
"Beyond your imagination!" Ye Shisan chuckled casually. "After all, in this region, the five ancient clans are the most powerful entities. The Ye clan has experienced its rise and fall, but it remains the most prosperous."
"If the Ye clan is so powerful, why do they need us to act!" Long Yi shot him a look. "Why not have the Ye clan directly confront the Ghost Hall."
"Cough, cough..." Ye Shisan coughed a few times, unsure how to respond. Although the Ye clan was powerful, the Ghost Hall was extremely terrifying, renowned throughout the ancient era. Even the now prosperous Ye clan dared not act rashly.
When the helicopter arrived at Beihai Peak, they found that the other helicopter had already disappeared. Beihai Peak was shrouded in mist, instilling a sense of caution.
"Is this Beihai Peak?" Lin Ke looked around. "There's a dangerous aura! It seems this is no friendly place."
"Beihai Peak is home to various beasts, and even legendary demonic beasts. You must be careful," Ye Shisan warned. "Most importantly, to find the Dragon Roar Sword on Beihai Peak, one must rely on dragon bloodline."
Long Yi frowned slightly. He was an inheritor of the dragon bloodline. Although he sensed an aura, he was not entirely sure.
"If my senses are correct, it might be in the southeast direction!" Long Yi stated. "As for the exact location of the Dragon Roar Sword, it's difficult to pinpoint."
"Since the sensation is in the southeast, it must be correct," Ye Shisan chuckled. "Besides, you are an inheritor of the dragon clan. The place you sense is undoubtedly correct."
Long Yi nodded slightly and stepped forward. Beihai Peak was quite unusual, and they dared not act carelessly.
At this very moment, in another direction, a group of black-clad figures hid in the shadows, seemingly waiting for something, showing no intention of acting hastily.
Long Yi and the others walked for three hours on Beihai Peak before arriving outside a village. The village appeared quite ancient, with several children playing within.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan and the others were astonished. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be a village on Beihai Peak, especially with so many children.
"Who are you people? Why have you come to Beihai Village?" Just as they were observing, a voice sounded from behind. Several men, holding fish spears and with cold expressions, stared at Lu Fan and the others.
"We came to this Beihai Peak and seem to be lost!" Lin Ke replied.
"Beihai Village does not welcome strangers. Why have you come here! And what are your intentions?"
"Uncle, you might have misunderstood," Lu Fan said with a light smile. "We came to Beihai Peak to find something. We are not bad people."
"I've already said that Beihai Peak does not welcome outsiders. You should leave quickly, otherwise, Beihai Village is not to be trifled with!" The man's demeanor was overbearing. They were extremely resistant to outsiders, which was why they spoke so aggressively.
Long Yi frowned. "Are you going too far? We have important matters on Beihai Peak. Besides, with just a few of you, how dare you speak such arrogant words?"
"It seems you intend to fight?" The leading man's expression was unfriendly. "In all these years, no one has dared to cause trouble in Beihai Village. If you are wise, you'd best stay away from this place."
"Long Yi, where exactly is the Dragon Roar Sword?" Lu Fan asked.
"It's in the center of this Beihai Village!" Long Yi replied directly. Even he hadn't expected that the Dragon Roar Sword's aura would be in the central area of Beihai Village.
"You still want to enter the village?" The leading man's expression was displeased. His name was Da Yu, and he was from Beihai Village. For so many years, no outsiders had ever come to Beihai Village, and how could Lu Fan possibly want to enter Beihai Village? How could he agree?
"We only wish to find an item in the village, not to be your enemies," Lu Fan stated directly. "Moreover, you are all ordinary people. If a fight were to break out, you would be the ones to suffer."
"Crab, teach them a lesson!" Da Yu said abruptly. "After all these years, this is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant, not only wanting to force their way into Beihai Village but also speaking so presumptuously."
A man named Crab stood up and walked towards Lu Fan. "Little fellows, Beihai Village is not a place you can just enter as you please! Today, I will let you witness the methods of the people of Beihai Village."
"So much nonsense!" Long Yi stepped forward, exuding a powerful aura. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Crab.
Sensing the powerful aura, Crab showed no sign of retreat. Instead, he threw a punch, carrying immense power.
