Chapter 204

The Black Mist Mountain Range.

The thin old man 'Qu Zhuang' and Liao An waited in place.

The Monkey King was not far away, deep in thought. According to its intentions, it was contacting the other several Beast Kings.

"Uncle Zhuang, I still feel that something's not right."

Liao An seemed to observe his surroundings, growing increasingly uneasy, as if there were invisible eyes secretly watching him.

This feeling was strong, usually only appearing when facing life and death situations on the Battlefield of the Evil Gods.

Liao An had fought in the Battlefield of the Evil Gods for two or three hundred years, but he had encountered life and death crises no more than ten times.

Each time, Liao An relied on this special intuition to prepare in advance, thus saving his life and ultimately earning many merits, becoming an elder of the Azure Alliance.

However, now? Even in the great rear area of the Azure World, theoretically absolutely safe, he was still having this feeling?

Liao An found it unbelievable and couldn't help mentioning it to the thin old man 'Qu Zhuang'.

Actually, Liao An had already felt this way when they first entered the Black Mist Mountain Range, but 'Qu Zhuang' didn't pay much attention to it.

"What's wrong?"

'Qu Zhuang' asked quietly.

"What's wrong?"

Liao An furrowed his brow, not knowing what was wrong.

It was just his sixth sense, screaming in alarm.

"Isn't it said that the Beast Kings are all in the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range? Then why is this Monkey King appearing here now?"

Liao An thought for a moment, glanced at the Monkey King, and casually found an excuse to say.

"This..."

'Qu Zhuang' fell into silence.

Why did the Monkey King appear here? The entire Black Mist Mountain Range was the territory of the Beast Kings. Wherever the Monkey King wanted to be, it would be there, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Alright."

"You two, follow me in."

"They are also prepared to meet you."

The Monkey King stood up, its massive body blocking the sunlight, casting 'Qu Zhuang' and Liao An into shadow.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Monkey King strode towards the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

'Qu Zhuang' and Liao An exchanged glances.

"Don't worry, this is the Black Mist Mountain Range. Even if those Beast Kings dared to make a move against us, aren't they afraid of angering the Leader? 'Qu Zhuang' comforted Liao An.

"I hope so."

Liao An calmed down and followed 'Qu Zhuang'.

As time passed, the group approached the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

"This..."

Liao An's heart raced, his vision becoming faint.

Danger.

Danger.

Extreme danger.

Liao An felt every part of his body trembling.

"How could I have this feeling?"

Liao An couldn't believe it. The last time he had felt this way was over a hundred years ago.

Back then, Liao An was only at the fourth rank, fighting madly with the puppets of those Evil Gods on the Battlefield of the Evil Gods.

That was the first time Liao An had experienced such a premonition, and not long after, the scene of the arrival of the true body of the foreign Evil God occurred, ravaging the battlefield.

"From outside the domain... foreign Evil Gods?"

Liao An's scalp tingled, unable to believe that he was experiencing the same feeling as when the Evil Gods arrived before.

"No, I can't."

"We can't go on."

Although even Liao An himself didn't believe that there would be a foreign Evil God arriving deep in the Black Mist Mountain Range, his body's instincts made him dare not continue deeper.

Even if he faced punishment from the Azure Alliance for this, or even lost his position as an elder.

Swish.

Liao An's figure soared into the sky, fleeing frantically away from the Black Mist Mountain Range.

"Ah?"

The nearby 'Qu Zhuang' was somewhat bewildered.

He didn't understand why Liao An suddenly acted like this.

"Still running?"

The Monkey King leading the way ahead glanced at Liao An, who was fleeing frantically, and reached out its right hand to pat him.

Boom!

Terrifying force began to oppress the space. Although the Monkey King was weak in front of Lin Yuan, without any resistance, in front of outsiders, even a six-rank elder of the Azure Alliance was enough to be overbearing. With one slap, Liao An was heavily injured, slammed to the ground.

"You?"

'Qu Zhuang' didn't react for a while.

First, Liao An fled for no reason, and then the Monkey King acted decisively, heavily injuring Liao An with one slap.

"Monkey King, how dare you?"

Although he didn't know why Liao An did this, as an elder of the Azure Alliance, 'Qu Zhuang' naturally stood by Liao An's side.

Moreover, Liao An hadn't done anything wrong. Why did the Monkey King act so ruthlessly?

"He's not dead, just injured a bit."

Surprisingly, in the distance on both sides, seven huge figures were standing upright.

These seven huge figures included the Monkey King they had just met, as well as the Giant Elephant King recognized by 'Qu Zhuang', as well as the Blue Bird King, and so on.

The seven Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountain Range had all gathered here.

What surprised 'Qu Zhuang' the most was that at this moment, these seven lofty Beast Kings were all standing there respectfully, with extremely humble attitudes, bowing towards the highest point.

Who? Who could make the Beast Kings so respectful, even submissive? 'Qu Zhuang' found it unbelievable. The Beast Kings were all arrogant creatures, with noble bloodlines, and they had always looked down on human cultivators.

Throughout the entire Azure Alliance, the only ones who could make the Beast Kings jealous and bow their heads were none other than the Leader of the Azure Alliance and those few deputy leaders.

But even if they bowed their heads in jealousy, it had nothing to do with submission.

With a mixture of great fear and a hint of curiosity, 'Qu Zhuang' followed the direction in which the seven Beast Kings were bowing.

Rustle rustle.

That was an ancient tree.

Its branches swayed, and black vines hung down.

Amidst the faintness, an aura of evil and ancientness swept over.

"What is that?"

The thin old man, Qu Zhuang, felt somewhat bewildered. He faintly sensed that he had seen this ancient tree before, but couldn't recall exactly when.

Or perhaps he had remembered, but instinctively rejected it because of the true identity of this ancient tree, carrying a kind of unprecedented terror.

"Uncle Zhuang, it's an extraterritorial evil god, an extraterritorial evil god."

Liao An's voice trembled beside him, instantly breaking through Qu Zhuang's psychological defenses.

Yes.

It's an extraterritorial evil god.

This ancient deity, resembling the extraterritorial evil gods on the battlefield outside the world, is extremely similar.

In form, appearance, aura... it's almost like a smaller version of the Primordial Demon Tree.

But how is this possible?

Qu Zhuang's soul couldn't help but tremble.

If what they saw was an extraterritorial evil god, then what about the Primordial Demon Tree, who single-handedly dragged the entire Azure world into the quagmire of war outside the world? What does that count for? After all the hardships, fighting desperately on the battlefield of the evil gods, wanting to keep the extraterritorial evil gods out of the world and fight for the living environment of the creatures within the world.

And now, the extraterritorial evil god had already entered the Azure world?

Qu Zhuang suddenly felt somewhat despondent. At this moment, he vaguely realized that the Azure world was shrouded in despair.

"Extraterritorial evil god."

"No, you definitely are not an extraterritorial evil god."

"At least not the incarnation of the extraterritorial evil god."

Just as Qu Zhuang's heart sank into despair, Liao An, the narrator, suddenly stood up, staring firmly at the ancient tree being worshiped by the seven beast kings.

As Liao An's voice fell, the seven beast kings in the distance glanced at him.

A terrifying pressure descended, but Liao An still stood firm, despite trembling.

After a long time.

A huge spiritual fluctuation.

Emanating from the ancient tree.

"How do you know?"

Lin Yuan looked down at Liao An and Qu Zhuang with interest.

Since coming to this world, Lin Yuan had at most eavesdropped on the conversations between human cultivators.

However, he had never had direct contact with human cultivators.

One reason was the fear of exposing flaws. Compared to beasts, humans are much smarter. Before becoming invincible in the world, it is natural to avoid contact with these intelligent creatures.

The second reason was that it was unnecessary. What Lin Yuan wanted to know could be obtained through soul searching without the need for direct communication.

How do you know?

Hearing Lin Yuan's reply, Liao An's scalp exploded again. At this moment, he was sure that the ancient tree in front of him had a specific consciousness.

"If you were the incarnation of the extraterritorial evil god, there would be no need to hide in the Black Mist Mountains. You could have acted long ago, why bother fighting with our Azure Alliance outside?"

Liao An took a deep breath.

"And now, you'd better let us go."

"Both of us are elders of the Azure Alliance, with high status and weight. This time we came to the Black Mist Mountains to command the beast kings. If we don't return for a long time, it will inevitably attract the investigation of other alliance powerhouses. In the end... Although I don't know what your relationship is with that extraterritorial evil god, as long as you join hands with our Azure Alliance to deal with that extraterritorial evil god, I will plead with the alliance leader to spare your life."

Liao An said slowly.

Everything he said now was based on his own speculation.

That is, the ancient tree in front of him is not the extraterritorial evil god from outside the world.

Or it is not completely aligned with that extraterritorial evil god.

Liao An had a basis for this conclusion, that is, neither he nor Qu Zhuang had died instantly.

If facing a real extraterritorial evil god, the two of them would not have had the chance to wake up at all, let alone negotiate terms here.

After Liao An finished speaking, he quietly waited.

Qu Zhuang beside him did the same.

There was no other way. Regardless of whether Lin Yuan was the extraterritorial evil god or not, their lives were currently in his hands.

Even if Liao An spoke eloquently, if Lin Yuan wanted to kill them, they had no way out.

Even if the powerhouses of the Azure Alliance came afterwards to avenge them, but if they were dead, they were dead.

Time passed slowly.

Liao An and Qu Zhuang waited nervously for Lin Yuan's judgment.
