Everything in the mountains and ridges was an enemy, especially the behemoth about to break through the mysterious seal and emerge into the world, making people feel the crisis of death.

If this thing were to be born, it would definitely be a great terror.

"I agree to use the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb!" Black Hand Fist King was the first to agree.

This was a middle-aged man with bright eyes and a strong aura. His muscles were like coiled dragons, and his deep eyes were full of oppression.

He was once a famous underground boxer. After the Earth's spiritual energy was restored, he accidentally ate a miraculous fruit. Since then, his physical strength had greatly increased, his boxing skills had improved, and he had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, the fourth realm of martial arts, and was respectfully called "Black Hand Fist King."

But his parents and family all died in the safety zone due to monsters. Of all the Grandmaster Guardians, he was one of the most resentful of monsters and beasts.

"Amitabha, this humble monk also agrees!" Monk Yuan Kong expressed his attitude by chanting the Buddha's name.

He was wearing a kasaya and was the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple. He was originally going to pass away, but when the spiritual energy was restored, a strange Buddha fruit appeared on the back mountain of the Great Buddha Temple.

After swallowing it, his flesh and blood were restored, his life's vitality greatly increased, and he used the ancient Buddhist scriptures of the Great Buddha Temple to cultivate to the Grandmaster Realm, becoming the first Buddhist Guardian of the Buddhist sect.

Monk Yuan Kong and Black Hand Fist King had both stated their positions, and the other two Grandmaster Guardians also expressed their agreement. Everyone looked at Bai He (White Crane) Daoist.

Bai He Daoist not only had a high status, but his strength was also the strongest among the Grandmaster Guardians of the Blackwind Safety Zone. His opinion was valued by everyone and he had the power of veto.

Seeing everyone looking at him with expectant expressions, as if they all wanted to use the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb, Bai He Daoist hesitated instead, shaking his head and said, "This matter, this humble Daoist does not agree!"

Everyone was surprised and unexpected, and did not expect Bai He Daoist to veto the use of the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb.

Black Hand Fist King said, "Brother Bai He, why do you disagree? That big guy is definitely a terrible beast. If it really comes out, our hard-earned Blackwind Safety Zone will probably suffer a catastrophe."

Monk Yuan Kong also echoed and advised.

But Bai He Daoist still shook his head with a firm expression.

He couldn't say why he disagreed with this matter, but he only remembered one thing, that when he was a child, his master had said a word:

Truth is always in the hands of a few people. When others are doing this, you should go the other way. Only in this way can you show your extraordinary excellence.

In a word, when others say yes, you must say no.

Bai He Daoist had always remembered his master's warning, and he had been doing this all these years.

When buying stocks, when everyone was rushing to buy, he hurriedly sold; when everyone was selling, he quickly bought. As a result, after only buying a few stocks, his net worth had exceeded 1 billion.

When the old Sect Leader was dying, he wanted to entrust the position of Sect Leader and asked all his fellow disciples to express their opinions.

Everyone praised how awesome and outstanding the old Sect Leader was throughout his life, but he alone loudly reprimanded the old Sect Leader for his various shortcomings and mistakes. All the fellow disciples were frightened and pale, scolding him for being昏了头 (hūnlétóu – muddle-headed), but the old Sect Leader laughed loudly and handed the Sect Leader's execution token into his hands, shouting "My path has a successor" before his death.

Also.

When he hadn't yet entered the Daoist sect and was still in college, the students chasing the school beauty goddess all gave gifts and treated her to dinner, all looking like舔狗 (tiǎn gǒu – simps). He alone walked up to the school beauty goddess, slapped her a few times, and scolded her.

Everyone thought he was finished and had no chance, but a month later, many people were surprised to find that the school beauty goddess and he had actually gone to a hotel.

But he still ignored her, and became a Daoist priest himself. The other party actually shaved her head and became a nun. Yesterday, she even sent him a crow with a letter, asking him when he would marry her...

These were all trivial matters, not worth mentioning.

What made him most proud was that a bloody black fruit appeared in the Wudang Mountain garden. All the fellow disciples wanted to burn it and destroy it, but he alone went the other way and ate it.

As a result.

Not only did he not die, but he gained great benefits. The black fruit reshaped his body and helped him comprehend the Daoist scriptures, proving the Daoist Grandmaster. In the first wave of the Earth's spiritual energy recovery, he walked ahead of everyone and became the first Daoist Guardian of the Daoist sect.

At this moment, Bai He Daoist once again remembered his master's warning. Everyone wanted to use the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb to attack and block the mysterious fierce creature suspected of being sealed in a certain area, but he wanted to go the other way, and immediately said:

"Everyone, this humble Daoist believes that although this fierce creature is terrifying, it is too early for us to take action now. The Spirit Extinguishing Bomb may not be able to block and eliminate the opponent, but it will definitely anger them."

Bai He Daoist said loudly, his ruddy face glowing with confidence, his eyes looking at everyone frankly,

"Furthermore, that black eagle is still circling in the void. If we use the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb, the fierce creature may mistakenly think that we are with the black eagle."

"At that time, if it really breaks through the seal and comes out, we will definitely suffer a great calamity!"

After saying this, Black Hand Fist King and Master Yuan Kong and other Grandmaster Guardians frowned with worry, and the other managers and everyone else fell silent.

They were confident in the power of the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb, but they had also heard that in the Shi Wan Da Shan (Ten Thousand Mountains), there were also some fierce creatures who were not afraid of the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb and were overwhelmingly fierce.

If the fierce creature in front of them was also like this, then the use of the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb would definitely anger the other party.

"Since Bai He Daoist disagrees, then let's wait and see!" Master Yuan Kong waved his hand and said, asking everyone to prepare to enter the ground to prevent any changes, and at the same time prepare the launch program for the Spirit Extinguishing Bomb in case of emergency.

Black Hand Fist King was a little unwilling, but he was helpless. He angrily waved his sleeves and left.

Everyone dispersed one after another. Bai He Daoist called his confidant disciples, Wu Yue and Zhao Mei. Their talents were average, and they had only cultivated to the second realm of martial arts, but they were quick-witted and obedient, so they were reused by Bai He Daoist and accepted as confidants.

"You two, go to the mountains immediately. If you find that the fierce creature has broken free from the seal and emerged, you must immediately put up a banner and send blessings." Bai He Daoist pondered, "Write on the banner 'Congratulations to Senior for coming out of the mountain, congratulations to Senior for breaking the seal, Senior is immortal and indestructible, Senior is number one in the world.'"

Wu Yue and Zhao Mei hesitated when they heard this.

"What? Do you think that Master is too ingratiating?"

"No, Master, we think the emotion is not sincere enough. We should add another sentence, 'Senior, we love you, you are the lighthouse on our life's journey, we are willing to use our lives to pilgrimage to you and be your most loyal servants.'"

"Wonderful! Master was right about you. Write it like that, go and do it immediately, don't let others know." Bai He Daoist stroked his palms with joy, his eyes full of joy, "Go to the warehouse and get a few hot air balloons. When the time comes, hang the banner on the hot air balloons and fly them into the sky so that the other party can see it clearly."

"Yes! Master!"

Wu Yue and Zhao Mei saluted and left.

Bai He Daoist stroked his beard and smiled, his face full of expectation. He looked at the sky and muttered to himself:

"Master, you are watching in heaven, right? Your disciple is walking on the vast land, still adhering to your old man's famous saying, going the other way. Please bless your disciple so that this time I can get another big opportunity..."

Chapter 2 Xi Chuan Town, Snake King City

The sky was changing, with lightning and thunder, and heavy hail fell on the earth, like a thick layer of diamonds. The children were playing happily in the hail, but the adults were all craning their necks and looking at the sky nervously and expectantly.

Even though the fog was thick and nothing could be seen, they were still watching, their eyes full of hope, and a bit of worry.

"Boom~"

Another thunderbolt struck down, with even greater momentum. The sky seemed to be torn apart, and the ghostly fog instantly dimmed. A huge shadow could vaguely be seen rolling in the sea of thunder, allowing the lightning to fall on its body, but it could not hurt it at all.

When people saw this, they felt relieved and shouted excitedly.

"Long live Snake King, Snake King is invincible!"

"The ghostly fog can't stop the King Cobra. It will definitely break through the ghostly fog blockade, let Xi Chuan Town reappear in the sun, and let us regain our freedom."

"I don't know if my fiancée is still waiting for me. When Snake King breaks through the ghostly fog, I must confess to her. She likes dogs the most, and I just happened to turn into a little milk dog, hahaha..."

Everyone was very excited.

The lightning in the void became more and more terrifying, but the King Cobra was still unharmed. That huge figure made them very afraid on weekdays, but today it made them feel excited and expectant.

In the sky.

Zhang Ji was not in a hurry to break through the ghostly fog in one fell swoop. He was using the power of thunder and lightning to temper his body, especially the snake bones, which began to transform into demon king bones under the nourishment of thunder and lightning.

Demon King Bone, this is a special kind of bone, having this kind of bone will make you more outstanding and increase your potential.

Previously, only his snake head was a demon king bone, and as his realm improved, the demon bone became more and more tyrannical, becoming the hardest bone in his whole body.

Now, his whole body bones have begun to change.

"Crack"

Lightning struck down again. The huge snake body did not need to dodge. It allowed the lightning to fall in strands, drilling in through the gaps in the snake scales, stimulating the flesh and blood, and tempering the snake bones.

"Not enough, the power of the thunder and lightning is too weak, it needs to be stronger."

Zhang Ji waved his snake wings, bathed in ten thousand feet of thunder and lightning, and flew to a higher place, provoking a more terrifying thunder tribulation to descend.

This was not natural thunder and lightning, but the thunder and lightning power of the ghostly fog barrier's backlash.

Zhang Ji knew that once he broke through the barrier, it would be difficult to find cheap and easy-to-use thunder and lightning in the future. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the last opportunity to use the ghostly fog thunder and lightning to temper himself and make himself the strongest.

"Rumble"

The ghostly fog barrier was whipped by Zhang Ji's snake tail. The fog flowed, the barrier swayed, and once again triggered terrifying lightning to strike down, looking like it would destroy everything. Zhang Ji pushed his five heads up.

The King Cobra's heads were already demon king bones. They had experienced bloody lightning and were not destroyed. These ghostly fog thunder and lightning struck the snake heads without any feeling, like scratching an itch.

Only the other heads had a numb feeling, but the power was still limited, and the tempering speed was very slow.

Zhang Ji was not satisfied with this efficiency. If he tempered like this, it would take him at least ten years to temper all the snake bones into demon king bones.

He crashed into the ghostly fog barrier, allowing the lightning to fall down.

But as time went by, the power of the thunder and lightning became weaker and weaker, and the barrier trembled more and more violently. Spider-web-like cracks appeared on it.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji understood in his heart that this was the result of the Twelve Divine Kingdoms giving up the Xi Chuan Town relic. Because recently, he had noticed that the viscosity of the ghostly fog was decreasing.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the ghostly fog would automatically dissipate, and Xi Chuan Town would naturally reappear in the sun.

But this was not the result Zhang Ji wanted. If the ghostly fog was to dissipate, it would be thanks to Zhang's efforts in defeating it, so that everyone would think it was his merit.

"After all, I didn't complete the tempering of the whole body's bones, a bit of a pity." Zhang Ji was helpless. Seeing that the value of the ghostly fog barrier had been exhausted, he no longer wasted time and prepared to break through the ghostly fog with all his strength.

"Jie—"

Outside.

The huge black eagle was circling, flying around the barrier. It had been staring at Zhang Ji, its eyes full of human-like provocation, and from time to time it would stick out its claws and give Zhang Ji the middle finger claw to despise Zhang Ji.

Now, it swooped down and came to provoke again, very arrogant, as if it believed that Zhang Ji could not rush out.

Zhang Ji's scarlet vertical pupils stared at it, and the five heads and five mouths simultaneously chanted the ancient forbidden technique of the Tiger Aspect Heaven Stele.

This mysterious forbidden technique, which was called the Soul Extinguishing Technique by the giants of the Immortal Realm and the Soul Curse Technique by the Son of Heaven Dao Lord, had unpredictable power. Zhang Ji had already discovered that it also had a powerful destructive power on the ghostly fog.

"Supreme Stage Star, respond without ceasing, drive away evil and bind demons, protect life and body..."

Zhang Ji chanted the ancient forbidden technique. His current strength far surpassed that of the past, and the power of the ancient forbidden technique was even more terrifying. There was still thunder roaring in the void, but it was submerged by the power of the ancient forbidden technique and annihilated silently in an instant.

The ghostly fog was also lifted up and rolled, and the barrier was rapidly cracking, with fine spider-web-like cracks appearing like glass.

Outside.

The black eagle circled, arrogantly provoking Zhang Ji. At this moment, seeing the barrier beginning to crack, and a fierce and bloody aura permeating out, a human-like look of nervousness appeared in its expression.

"Crack~"

The cracks in the barrier became larger, and a cracking sound was heard.

"Jie—"

The black eagle let out a sharp cry, its voice very terrified, and flew away from here as if fleeing.

But at this time, with a loud bang like the void exploding, the barrier collapsed, and the ghostly fog that had shrouded Xi Chuan Town for a long time began to dissipate. The shadows of the Misty Forest and Snake King City were looming.

The desolate aura and heat waves of the outside world rushed towards him, which was completely different from the cold winter climate of Xi Chuan Town.

"Have I finally broken through the ghostly fog and obtained the freedom I wanted? I have been waiting for this day for too long."

Zhang Ji said to himself, but found that he was not as excited as he had imagined, but rather very calm, and just felt a little hungry.

"Whoosh~"

Zhang Ji stirred up a bloody wind and rushed out. The huge figure of 100,000 meters long was displayed on this land for the first time without reservation, hunting the black eagle fleeing in front.

The bloody mouth fell down, as if it was going to swallow a hole in the sky.

The black eagle screamed, leaving only a bloody feather floating in the sky, and nothing else could be seen.

Zhang Ji chewed the flesh and blood in his mouth, his scarlet vertical pupils opening and closing, naturally radiating a fierce light. He soared in the sky, his huge body moved with lightning and electric arcs, like a large thundercloud floating in the void, covering a large area of shadow, making people terrified and shocked.

His bloody wings flew high, and he looked down at the endless mountains and ravines and the vast primeval forest, feeling endless fluctuations of blood and energy. He smiled greedily and muttered to himself, "This is my hunting ground, tremble, I will eat all living things..."

At this time, on the distant mountain, two hot air balloons more than ten meters in size slowly flew into the sky.

Zhang Ji's five heads shook and looked over intently. He saw that a bright red banner was actually hanging in the middle of the two hot air balloons, and the words on it caught his eyes:

"Congratulations to Senior for coming out of the mountain, congratulations to Senior for breaking the seal, Senior is immortal and indestructible, Senior is number one in the world, we love you, you are the lighthouse on our life's journey, we are willing to use our lives to pilgrimage to you and be your most loyal servants!"

Below was the signature - Bai He Daoist and the disciples of the Daoist sect offered.
