The Giant Ao Auspicious Jade

Originally in a state of panic, the dark entities grew even more terrified upon seeing the Golden Core above Chen Ping's head. They let out haunting shrieks and fled in all directions with all their might.

However, it was all in vain. Before they could escape the pull of Chen Ping's Golden Core, an even stronger suction force transmitted over. They were like tired birds returning to their nest, quickly gathering toward the black cavalry of the Xuan grade.

Above the three thousand black cavalry, Golden Cores radiating brilliant golden light also hovered in the air.

Duren Pills!

Looking at the three thousand Golden Cores hovering above the black cavalry, Su Mu recognized their origin almost instantly, and his gaze gradually turned icy.

He had originally been surprised by how the black cavalry could achieve a state where everyone practiced both Dao and martial arts. It turned out they were borrowing the power of the Duren Pills. The Wuliang Demonic Tribulation that the Zhenmo Camp had struggled so hard to pacify had ultimately become a wedding dress for the Xuanji Camp.

No wonder the Twenty-Eight Mansions had caused such chaos and yet the Great Yu had not captured them. Playing both the thief and the cop, it would be a miracle if they caught them.

Thinking that the recent events might all be manipulated by the Great Yu behind the scenes, Su Mu's determination to leave the Great Yu grew even firmer. Looking at the black cavalry harvesting the dark entities around, a trace of killing intent could not help but rise in his heart.

"Huh? Who is it!"

The killing intent flashed and vanished, but it still alerted Chen Ping, who was absorbing the dark entities. With a thought, the collective martial will and spiritual sense of the black cavalry swept toward the source of the killing intent.

Gathering the martial will of three thousand Martial Grandmasters and a spiritual sense that was not inferior, wherever Chen Ping's gaze landed, things shattered. The ground, originally paved with jade, instantly became chaotic, as if it had sunk by dozens of chang.

However, after one strike, Chen Ping still could not discover the source of the killing intent, as if the sensation just now was merely an illusion.

But what kind of character was Chen Ping? He naturally would not believe his senses were wrong. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a loud voice, "The Xuanji Camp is conducting business here. If Your Excellency does not wish to oppose our Great Yu, it is best to leave early. Do not bring trouble upon yourself!"

With that, Chen Ping turned his horse around and headed toward the mountain peak, seemingly truly unwilling to continue the entanglement.

Seeing this, Su Mu, who was hiding underground, remained as still as a mountain, quietly watching the black cavalry depart, with no intention of following.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Sure enough, in an instant, a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, covering the area of several chang above Su Mu's head, followed by a dense sweep of saber light like a raging wind.

The wind passed, leaving the surroundings in utter chaos, with nothing left intact. The black cavalry, who had supposedly gone far, had reappeared at some point.

In war, there can never be too much deception. For Chen Ping to command these three thousand black cavalry, he was naturally proficient in such tactics.

However, Su Mu had no intention of clashing with the Xuanji Camp here; Chen Ping's scheme was destined to fail.

Indeed, after launching a counter-thrust with no results, although Chen Ping was somewhat unwilling, he had to temporarily give up.

The primary principle of the Xuanji Camp was that the mission was paramount.

With the mission uncompleted, Chen Ping would not and could not waste too much time on an illusory enemy.

"General, we have found the direction of the disappearing dark entities."

Right at this moment, a figure in black appeared beside Chen Ping, reporting in a low voice. After hearing the report, Chen Ping immediately turned his horse and accelerated forward.

The three thousand black cavalry surged away, and Su Mu also slowly emerged from underground. Looking in the direction the black cavalry had gone, he fell into thought, then followed them.

The black cavalry marched extremely fast, and since they were not disturbed by cultivators and dark entities along the way, they quickly approached the mountain peak.

Just like the mountainside, this place was also lined with pavilions and jade carvings, only lacking a touch of sinister aura.

In this place, not a single dark entity existed.

Su Mu's spiritual sense swept over the jade carvings, becoming even more certain of his guess. Chen Ping also seemed to know something. After looking around, he once again sacrificed the Giant Ao Auspicious Jade.

But this time was not to devour the dark entities. After the jade appeared, Chen Ping also sacrificed his Golden Core, pouring a powerful stream of magic power into it. The Giant Ao awakened once more, and a dazzling beam of light shot from its eyes.

This light was like substance, resembling liquid condensing in mid-air, slowly twisting and transforming into the shape of a mountain.

The mountain was towering, with auspicious light radiating in all directions. It was the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain where they stood.

Looking at the condensing phantom of the immortal mountain, Su Mu's gaze grew deeper.

He had originally thought this Giant Ao Auspicious Jade was only used to devour soul bodies. Now, it seemed it was not that simple.

Before long, the phantom of the immortal mountain was completely condensed, no different from the one beneath their feet. One could even see tiny figures on it, varying in strength, and the most dazzling among them was Chen Ping and the three thousand black cavalry he commanded.

With this method, on this Fangzhang Immortal Mountain, probably no one could escape Chen Ping's surveillance.

But looking at Chen Ping's clearly weakened aura, he probably could not use it frequently; otherwise, he would have easily found Su Mu's position earlier.

Thinking of this, Su Mu immediately wanted to leave, but he found that Chen Ping did not seem to have discovered his existence yet. He was controlling the phantom of the immortal mountain to rotate constantly, finally stopping on an extremely bright figure.

"Found you."

Seeing this, Chen Ping snorted coldly, his hand forming an incantation gesture. The phantom of the immortal mountain instantly twisted, shifting the area with that figure to the position of the black cavalry.

At the same time, the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain also experienced a shift in heaven and earth, but just like the phantom mountain, it began to change.

The moment the phantom mountain stopped changing, the surroundings of the black cavalry also transformed completely. In the middle of the jade carvings right in front of the black cavalry, a man wearing a jade dog mask was standing there, his eyes filled with astonishment, clearly not knowing what had happened.

"Twelve Primordial Spirits?! Capture him!"

The operation just now had clearly consumed a lot of Chen Ping's energy. He glanced at Gan Bin, who was covered in the aura of dark entities, and gave an order. The three thousand black cavalry immediately attacked Gan Bin.

Gan Bin clearly knew the power of the black cavalry. He opened his mouth and spat out a thick mist, instantly enveloping the black cavalry, and then quickly retreated in the opposite direction.

However, these three thousand black cavalry were battle-hardened veterans. The number of cultivators who had died by their hands was in the thousands, if not tens of thousands. Facing Gan Bin's interference, they roared in unison, their blood qi surging violently, instantly dispersing the thick mist.

Seeing that the thick mist could not hinder the black cavalry even slightly, Gan Bin made a decisive decision. He took out a jade bottle from his chest, poured it into his mouth, and several Duren Pills fell in.

Following that, a surging aura rose from Gan Bin's body.
