Sara Mountains near Fengyang Town.
Three figures were quickly moving through the mountains.
Jiang Feng, Feng Qingyang and Kalosi were all wearing their Invisibility Cloaks. They had searched the Sara Mountains for about an hour, but they were still unable to find the tunnel connecting the Tianmo Area.
One of the intersection points between the Xingyue Area and Tianmo Area was here in the Sara Mountains.
After they left Fengyang Town, they had been trying to find the tunnel that would connect to the Tianmo Area within the mountains.
As they searched for it, they were also avoiding the guards and the traps in this intersection.
The traps were not normal traps. Some of them were Runic Traps, some of them were Sword Chi traps, some of them were Elemental Traps. All of those who triggered the trap would die even if they had already reached Heaven Realm Eight Stars.
They had just seen a Heaven Realm Five Stars monster enter a Sword Chi trap. It was instantly sliced into pieces by the Sword Chis. Jiang Feng and the others could feel that they were dripping cold sweat.
“Captain, are you sure that there is a passageway here?” Kalosi asked with doubts in her mind.
Jiang Feng began to recall the direction where the Heavenly Demons had appeared, and he looked at the valley in front of him. He nodded.
The valley was surrounded by rocky walls all around. There was a cliff about 5 kilometers away, and opposite that cliff was the Tianmo Area. However, there were two fortresses guarding the two sides of the cliff. They were the fortresses that guarded the Xingyue Area and the Tianmo Area respectively.
The valley that they were in was out of the patrol area of the players from the Xingyue Area.
These players came from the Five Factions and they were all very powerful. They would guard this place in rotation, and they were very strict about it.
“Found it!” It was at this time Feng Qingyang’s voice entered their ears.
Jiang Feng and Kalosi were stunned and quickly headed to where Feng Qingyang was.
When Feng Qingyang saw the two of them coming, he then pointed at a small pool and said, “The passageway should be under this pool.”
Kalosi then asked in confusion, “There’s a passage hidden under such a small pool?”
The entire pool was only around a meter square wide. Moss had grown all around it with leaves floating on the water’s surface. If they were not careful, they probably would not even discover that there was a pool here.
“There are sounds of rushing water coming from beneath, it means that there is an underground river beneath it. There are also footprints, meaning that someone has walked past here.” Feng Qingyang waved his hand and a layer of leaves were swept away, showing the footprints underneath them.
The footprints had been formed by someone coming out of the pool. As it was not that long ago, they had yet disappeared.
“This should be the place then. Let’s go!” Jiang Feng looked at the footprints and carefully listened to the rushing water, he was sure that the passageway was under the water.
He then activated his Chi Shield and jumped into the pool.
While the pool was not that large, he realized that it was quite deep once they jumped in.
Next, Feng Qingyang and Kalosi had also jumped in. The three of them quickly submerged and swam downward.
After swimming for about 500 meters, a passageway appeared in front of them and they quickly swam toward it.
The cliff next to the valley was about 300 meters away. It meant that they were swimming toward the cliff’s direction, then across the cliffs.
About an hour later, they finally found the exit and they left the water.
Once they were out of the water, Jiang Feng began to scan his surroundings.
They were in a lake, and what they did not expect was that the lake seemed to be inside a city.
Once they had become invisible, the three of them swam toward the beach and then communicated with each other using the group chat.
“This is a large city within the Tianmo Area called Yanmo City. It is quite close to Sara Mountains so that is why there are plenty of Heavenly Demons gathering here. They have plenty of treasures too. It is already nighttime, so we should separate to scout ahead and find our prey. Be careful!” Jiang Feng said to Feng Qingyang and Kalosi.
“Right!” Next, the three of them headed in different directions to look for their rich targets.
It was already nighttime, and they only had one night to do it since they had to leave when it was morning to join the competition the next day.
***
The Zuixin Pavilion was Yanmo City’s largest restaurant.
Restaurants were where people normally went. And where people congregate, it would be easier for them to gather information.
Jiang Feng appeared in the Zuixin Pavilion and avoided some players. He then headed straight to the upper levels.
The rich would not eat downstairs. They would normally eat in their own rooms.
All the players from the Tianmo Area had an aura of violence and the scent of blood around them. They were all very bloodthirsty and violent.
Once he had reached the second floor where the private rooms were, two people suddenly went past him as they discussed with each other in a low voice.
“Have you heard? The Demon Palace is planning something big.”
“Something big?”
“Do you know why we only sent the five most powerful Squadrons to join the Tianji Competition? That is because many of the Elites from the other squadrons have been recalled by the Demon Palace. They might be attacking the Xingyue Area during the Tianji Competition.”
…
‘Hm? Attack the Xingyue Area during the Tianji Competition?’ Jiang Feng frowned as he listened to their conversation.
“No. There are only several elites joining the Tianji Competition. Why would they want to attack the Xingyue Area during the Tianji Competition? Can it be that they have other plans?”
There was only one faction in the Tianmo Area, and that was the Demon Palace. The Demon Palace ruled the entire Tianmo Area, and it was an extremely powerful faction.
He did not know how true the subject of their conversation was, but he remembered the content of their conversation. He might get something out of it if he went back and thought it through.
When he was on the walkway on the second floor, he was taking note of the surrounding rooms.
Knock, knock…
It was at this time a waiter came up to the second floor with the dishes and knocked on the door in front of a room.
Jiang Feng quickly approached the waiter.
Creak…
The door opened and the waiter brought the dishes in. Jiang Feng also used this chance to enter the room.
There were only two people in the room. A Heaven Realm Four Stars man and a weak but beautiful woman.
“Baby, we haven’t tried doing it in a place like this. Do you want to give it a try?” The man was quite lustful. He was wearing very dark and thick eyeliner, and he was kissing and touching the woman as he pouted his purplish lips.
In truth, what was around his eyes was not really eyeliner. It was materialized Aura of Cruelty. The reason that his lips were purple was that he had consumed the blood of others. It seemed that many had died in his hands.
The woman faked resistance and said, “Oh no, Young Master Sha! You said you will give me a Secret Treasure! But I haven’t seen anything yet. So, I don’t wanna!”
When Jiang Feng heard how the beautiful woman was talking, it made his hair stand on ends.
The male Heavenly Demon then removed the woman’s clothing as he said, “Haha, don’t worry baby. There’s going to be a Secret Treasure Tradeshow at the Black Market tomorrow. I’ll bring you there tomorrow and get a Secret Treasure for my little baby, okay?”
“Hm… Alright.”
The male Heavenly Demon then grabbed at the woman’s waist as he pushed her to the table and began to move.
When Jiang Feng saw what was happening, he knew what was going to happen next. As he could not stand it, he then quietly summoned his Earth Soul. The Earth Soul moved behind the man and suddenly attacked,
The male Heavenly Demon felt danger coming from behind so he turned around.
But as he had just turned around, the Earth Soul had already been drilled into his body. Next, blood kept on flowing out of his head.
The woman did not know that the man had already died as she was still lying on the table. “Young Master, why aren’t you moving anymore? Move a bit more.” She said and looked at him.
The moment she turned around, she then saw that the male Heavenly Demon already had blood coming out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. She wanted to scream instinctively, but the moment she opened her mouth, Jiang Feng’s Earth Soul then rushed into her mouth.
