Chapter 2036: Three Clans' Elite Gather

In addition, there was also Jiang Qingfeng's aura.

The giant green eagle opened its mouth and spewed out a dazzling green light, striking the green light barrier. Several small cracks appeared on the barrier.

Yuan Shu opened his mouth and emitted a misty, water-infused sound wave, hitting the green light barrier.

Wang Changsheng summoned nine Sea-Stabilizing Orbs. With a flick of his wrist, countless blue mists surged forth, transforming into thick blue water curtains that enveloped the entire valley.

As the void rippled, a golden light appeared. It was Jin Yue, her left hand gripping a pale-faced Jiang Qingfeng.

"As expected, they're here. Hmph, I'd like to see what tricks you're up to."

Jin Yue's expression turned cold. She raised her right hand high, forming a claw with one hand, and slapped the blue water curtain. A fierce gale erupted, and hundreds of shimmering golden winds howled past, sweeping in from all directions directly towards the blue water curtain.

After a thunderous roar, the blue water curtain was torn apart by the dense gales like paper, transforming into countless blue water waves. These waves then spun rapidly, turning into numerous blue water arrows that shot towards the golden winds.

The hundreds of golden winds were shattered by the dense blue water arrows, creating swirling dust.

As the dust dispersed, a green light gate became visible at the end of the valley. Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Feng Yao, and Yuan Shu stood within the valley, their expressions varied.

Jin Yue's gaze turned cold, and a chill flickered in her eyes.

Just then, a powerful male shout rang out, like a clap of thunder, causing a piercing pain in Jiang Qingfeng's eardrums.

Jiang Qingfeng's features contorted. He clutched his head with both hands, letting out a pained scream. Jin Yue's willow-like eyebrows furrowed, showing slight discomfort.

The blue mist in the void suddenly converged, forming a large, misty blue hand that slapped towards Jin Yue.

Jin Yue raised her right hand, and five golden lights flew out, shattering the blue hand.

With a gentle flap of the golden feathered wings on her back, she vanished from her spot.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were the fastest. A dazzling blue light illuminated their bodies, transforming into a single blue streak that disappeared into the green light gate.

Yuan Shu's reaction was also swift; he turned into an afterimage and directly entered the green light gate.

Feng Yao flapped the green feathered wings on his back, transforming into a gentle breeze and vanishing.

A golden light illuminated the green light gate, and Jin Yue emerged, hundreds of golden rays radiating from her body, covering an area of a hundred zhang.

A green light flashed, and a giant green eagle was enveloped by the golden light, unable to move.

The giant green eagle emitted a dazzling green light and suddenly transformed into human form.

"Senior, please spare my life! I am willing to lead the way."

Feng Yao quickly begged for mercy, feeling utterly depressed. He had been just moments away from entering.

Even if he had used an escape technique instead of entering the green light gate, he wouldn't have escaped Jin Yue.

Jin Yue formed a hand seal and gently pointed her slender finger. A thin golden light shot out and entered Feng Yao's body.

Feng Yao clearly saw dozens of light golden chains wrapped around his nascent soul, though his body felt free again.

"If I wanted to kill you, a single thought would suffice. If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

Jin Yue's voice was cold, conveying an undeniable authority.

Feng Yao chuckled awkwardly, his face full of forced smiles, and said, "This junior wouldn't dare. I am willing to go through fire and water for Senior."

All he wanted now was to survive. He glanced at Jiang Qingfeng, his heart filled with murderous intent.

If not for Jiang Qingfeng, Jin Yue wouldn't have pursued them at all.

Jin Yue looked up at the sky and said with a cold expression, "Fellow Daoist Qing, since you're here, why hide? Come out!"

"I didn't expect to be discovered by Fellow Daoist Jin."

A gentle male voice rang out. No sooner had he spoken than a clap of thunder echoed, and a ball of green lightning suddenly appeared in the sky. Qing Yu materialized, his entire body enveloped by countless green electric arcs.

Qing Yu's expression was indifferent, his gaze falling upon Feng Yao and Jiang Qingfeng.

"Someone's coming. It appears to be Fellow Daoist Mi."

Qing Yu frowned, looking towards the distant horizon.

A red light appeared on the horizon, rapidly flying towards them.

After a moment, the red light appeared before them. It was Mi Yan, accompanied by two members of the Thunder Crane clan.

"Fellow Daoist Mi, what is the meaning of this? Capturing my clansmen to be cannon fodder?"

Qing Yu was furious, the green electric arcs around him intensified dramatically, signaling that he was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Mi Yan narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Feng Yao and Jiang Qingfeng. He said, "Indeed, people from other races have infiltrated. I encountered your clansmen, who told me outsiders had entered. I instructed them to lead me to you. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Jin to capture an outsider."

"Three others have already gone in. What is this place?"

Jin Yue asked Feng Yao.

"It's said to be where Senior Xuanfeng's remains are, but I'm not entirely sure if that's accurate."

Feng Yao said cautiously, not daring to conceal anything.

Jin Yue naturally didn't believe him and proceeded to search Feng Yao's soul. Feng Yao dared not resist and cooperated honestly.

"He wasn't lying. The other three are two members of the Merman race and one of the Beastmen race, all at the Nascent Soul cultivation stage."

Jin Yue paid no mind to the three Nascent Soul cultivators.

"If this is where Senior Xuanfeng's remains are, there might be a control hub for Xuanfeng Cave. Let's not be careless; we should go in quickly! We shouldn't let them find the control hub and Senior Xuanfeng's inheritance. How about we work together to retrieve the treasures and divide them among the three of us?"

Mi Yan suggested.

Jin Yue and Qing Yu had no objections and agreed. Since they hadn't seen the treasures yet, there was no need to argue.

As long as the temptation was great enough, promises could be broken at any time. They naturally wouldn't trust mere words; true reliance was on strength.

Jin Yue made Feng Yao lead the way, with Jiang Qingfeng by her side. The group entered the green light gate one after another.

Jiang Qingfeng felt his vision blur, suddenly finding himself inside an ornately decorated green palace. The floor was paved with a type of exquisite green jade, and eight thick white marble pillars supported the entire hall.

On both sides, there were two green light gates each. Near one of these green light gates were some black ice shards.

Mi Yan sniffed a few times, then his gaze fell on the green light gate near the black ice shards. He said, "They entered that light gate. We don't know what's behind it."

"Senior Xuanfeng was a descendant of the Azure-Winged Golden-Clawed Eagle, which was a spirit beast of Venerable Xuanling. It seems Senior Xuanfeng had many treasures, likely placed separately to prevent one person from obtaining them all!"

Jin Yue analyzed, explaining that high-level cultivators often dispersed their inheritances or wealth to prevent a single individual from gaining everything, or perhaps it was a trial.

"There are four light gates. Perfect. Let's each choose one green light gate, so there's no need to argue. Let's break the formations first!"

After Mi Yan finished speaking, he formed a hand seal, and specks of fire suddenly appeared in the void.

Jin Yue and the others either formed hand seals or summoned magic treasures, attacking the four green light gates.

Explosions continued, and shockwaves surged.
