174: Gathered in a dungeon, who will go first?

Qingyang Mountain Range.

This place was originally the territory of a second-tier Early Stage Yao Beast, the Blackflame Demonic Wolf, but after the blood-red light pillar burst out, it no longer dared to stay here.

Where the blood-red light pillar shot out, there was a deep cave, and the cave was also a passage, with man-made stone steps extending into the depths of the cave.

The interior of the cave emitted an aura that made it palpitate, as if some terrifying existence lived within it.

The Blackflame Demonic Wolf decisively decided to abandon its territory and leave this place; its courage was relatively small.

Just as it was about to leave, three third-tier Yao Beasts led a group of Low Grade Yao Beasts here.

The pressure from the higher-ranking beings made the Blackflame Demonic Wolf involuntarily prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.

"You, go down and take a look."

The Barren Forest Wolf King issued an order, speaking to the Blackflame Demonic Wolf.

The Blackflame Demonic Wolf was filled with bitterness; it hated itself for running too slowly.

At the same time, it kept secretly complaining in its heart:

You are a wolf, and I am also a wolf, why must you make things difficult for me?

The Barren Forest Wolf King let out a terrifying roar, extremely deterrent. Frightened, the Blackflame Demonic Wolf quickly moved, trotting all the way to the vicinity of the deep cave.

It's a death either way, might as well take a gamble!

Black flames began to emanate from the Blackflame Demonic Wolf's entire body. This provided a certain degree of protection and was its innate ability.

It cautiously probed towards the red light. The imagined scenario of its flesh and blood being corroded did not occur; it actually passed through the red light smoothly.

Immediately, its figure slowly disappeared from the sight of the other Yao Beasts.

At this point, it was the Barren Forest Wolf King and the others who couldn't sit still.

What if the Blackflame Demonic Wolf got all the Opportunity inside? So, a large group of Yao Beasts were driven inside.

As long as the waters were muddied, the ones who would ultimately benefit would definitely be these high-tier Yao Beasts.

The Red-Tailed Fox's nose twitched slightly, and her keen sense of smell detected the aura of humans.

"Not good, human immortal cultivators are coming, and quite a few of them. There are also Golden Core Cultivators hidden in the shadows."

The Barren Forest Wolf King immediately said, "Since that's the case, let's hide too! Let these Yao Beasts go first. If they obtain a remarkable Opportunity, we'll seize the chance to snatch it."

The Ironclad Thunder Ape's brain couldn't think of so much, but after hearing what the two Yao Beasts said, it felt it made a lot of sense.

The three Yao Beasts burrowed into the depths of the Qingyang Mountain Range, disappearing instantly, leaving no trace of their aura.

The first human immortal cultivators to arrive here were the Loose Cultivator team led by Chen Sichen.

In Qingyang, Loose Cultivator teams became increasingly united. Due to the presence of Qingyang City, with the City Lord and this Young City Lord, there was much less suspicion and scheming among them, and they were tightly united.

The Loose Cultivator team had an extremely grand momentum, with at least a hundred Loose Cultivators. Although the strength of everyone present was only Qi Refinement Stage cultivation, it was still a force that could not be ignored.

As Loose Cultivators, every step of acquiring resources was extremely difficult, so as soon as they saw an Opportunity to gain, they immediately took action.

As the leader, the Young City Lord Chen Sichen was imposing and spirited.

He stood at the very front of the team, naturally possessing the aura of a leader.

Unlike the palpitations the other Cultivators felt from the blood-red light pillar, he felt a sense of affinity.

It was as if something within the blood-red light pillar was intimately calling to him.

"Come, come..."

Just as the Loose Cultivators arrived near the blood-red light pillar, several more Cultivators came. Upon closer inspection, it was the Cao Family Cultivator team led by Cao Yusheng and Cao Yuqi.

Besides Cao Yusheng and Cao Yuqi, the two newly promoted Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, the Cao Family also brought more than twenty Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, which could be said to be an all-out elite force.

Following the Cao Family Cultivators, other major immortal Cultivation Families also sent people.

The various Cultivator teams formed small groups, simply waiting for all Cultivators to arrive.

After all, no one wanted to be the first one to step forward.

A Loose Cultivator from Qingyang City looked around and asked his teammate beside him in confusion, "Hey, that's strange! Why aren't the Lin Family members here?"

His teammate, also a Loose Cultivator, replied, "What do you know! Generally, powerful figures always appear last."

As they spoke, the Lin Family Cultivators indeed arrived.

Four Lin Family Cultivators flew in together on their swords. They all flew with artifacts, which showed their identity—all of them were Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

"Four Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, has the Lin Family already become this powerful?" A Loose Cultivator's mouth opened so wide that he could directly fit an egg inside.

"The Lin Family has a large supply of Foundation Establishment Pills, so it's not surprising to have so many Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators!"

"In the future, what other forces can compare to the Lin Family..."

The Loose Cultivators' discussions gradually quieted down. If the Lin Family Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators came over, it would be impolite for them to still be discussing.

The four Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators from the Lin Family who came were Lin Yumo, Lin Yucheng, Lin Jing, and Lin Yulian.

As for Lin Xuanbo, although he also arrived, he was hiding in the dark and did not show himself.

The City Lord of Qingyang City, City Lord Chen He, was also like this.

The Qingyang City Loose Cultivators felt a bit agitated seeing so many Family Cultivators arrive. How could they be a match for Family disciples?

If they really encountered some valuable resources, they probably wouldn't even get a drop of the broth.

Lin Yucheng walked directly to the vicinity of the blood-red light pillar. After carefully sensing it, he then said, "The power of the blood-red light pillar is weakening. It's estimated to dissipate in less than three quarters of an hour.

Also... there are many Yao Beast auras here; they should have entered this deep cave."

Lin Yongmao, through "Vision Sharing," also saw this mysterious blood-red light pillar through Lin Yucheng's perspective.

The blood-red light pillar emitted a strange energy, an energy that seemed related to Demonic Cultivators.

Blood Fiend Devilish Qi:

Grade: Third-tier Low Grade

Characteristic: Demonic Transformation

"Demonic Transformation: Those below the third tier and Golden Core Stage Cultivators who come into contact will be demonically transformed by the Blood Fiend Devilish Qi, losing their sanity and becoming killing machines."

Introduction: This is a heaven and earth anomaly born after the Demonic Path seed revived, but it won't last long and will soon dissipate.

According to what Lin Yucheng said, many Yao Beasts have already entered the cave, and they have all come into contact with the Blood Fiend Devilish Qi. Doesn't that mean these Yao Beasts have all been demonically transformed?

Of course, Lin Yucheng and the others couldn't see the attributes of the Blood Fiend Devilish Qi.

If the four Lin Family Cultivators were to enter before the blood-red light pillar dissipated, Lin Yongmao would have no choice but to show himself and stop them.

Fortunately, Lin Yucheng was a sensible person: "Let's wait for this light pillar to dissipate before going in! This aura is very evil; it's better to avoid being corroded by this evil Qi."

Seeing this situation, several Loose Cultivators couldn't help but have more thoughts.

"Since Senior Lin Family doesn't plan to enter, may we go ahead?" A tall Loose Cultivator walked out from the crowd and asked.

Lin Yucheng raised his hand and said, "Please do!"
