The Infinite Mystery

"Of course!" Lin Nanhai smiled amiably, glancing at Qin Feng one time, he said, "A month ago, we received news that the Demonic Mountain Forest has been very unstable. The Demonic Beast that lived here became restless for no reason and various kinds of strange things happened along with them. After that, Sect sent an order and we were led by Senior Brother Jin Zhanshan to investigate. Just yesterday, we discovered that this matter was caused by an ancient altar."

An ancient altar?

The few of them were slightly startled and revealed expressions of curiosity.

"What kind of altar is it?" The one who asked was Qin Feng.

"It's very big, very ancient, and also very strange!"

Lin Nanhai emphasized his tone three times in a row. His eyes were filled with a faint sense of seriousness and nervousness. He said, "There are many strange stone pillars on the altar, and there are many iron chains on them. Those chains are so strong that even Earth Rank Weapons can't cut through them. Furthermore, underneath the altar, there are countless piles of bones."

"The bones?" Hua Xing suddenly shouted like a frightened cat when she heard this.

The crowd was once again stunned. As their gazes moved forward, a scene of pure white appeared before them. The mountain range ahead was filled with mountains of bones.

Looking from afar, all that could be seen were white corpses, and all of these corpses were the bones of Demonic Beast.

The cold wind blew in with an indescribable chill as a sense of dreed appeared in everyone's heart.

Even though it was Qin Feng, he still felt a chill down his spine when he saw the scene before his eyes. This made him have the same feeling that he had when he was about to enter the Thousand Peak Mountains.

According to the person who saved him, at the central area of the Thousand Peak Mountain, there is a terrifying demonic beast that has already reached a level where no being of Profound Spirit Continent can fight against it.

"What is it?" Qin Feng asked while looking at the mountain of bones with a stunned gaze.

"We don't know about that yet!" A clear but heavy sentence came out of Lin Nanhai's mouth, "However, these skeletons are placed around that weird altar, so I think these are connected to the alter in some ways. We already sent a message about the alter and bones to the Sect, so I believe that they will send elders soon. Before that, we can only stay here and continue to observe the situation."

Everyone stepped on the white bones and the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard. While everyone was still walking, Fan Feng Yi, who possessed a strong perception, was getting more and more unsettled. Her heart was throbbing very heavily as she was getting closer and closer to the alter.

Above the enormous alter, dark clouds covered the sky as strange lights flashed. This was an especially ancient sacrificial altar, emitting a dense ancient and desolate aura.

The altar was set up on the top of the mountains. It was surrounded by bones. The endless pile of bones was like a mountain, looking just like the demon from hell, gloomy and terrifying.

On top of the altar, there were many black stone pillars. Each stone pillar was a hundred meters tall and over three meters in diameter, shooting up to the sky. Large rusty iron chains were coiled around each pillar.

The aura on those chains was old and cold, and it circled around the stone pillar, giving people a feeling of the majestic and shocking nature of a land locked in prison.

At this very moment, two groups had already gathered on the empty ground below the altar. The two groups did not interfere with each other and did not interact with each other. They sat in separate locations and waited there!

A young man with a long spear in his hand stood at the edge of the alter. His calm but serious eyes were quietly staring at the pure white bones of Demonic Beasts below. A faint look of thought appeared on his serious face.

A young lady with light red lips and phoenix-like eyes was standing beside Jin Zhanshan, quietly staring at Jin Zhanshan's serious face.

After a few seconds, the young lady pursed her lips as her gaze swept towards the group of people at the other side of the altar and said with slight dissatisfaction, "The Myriad Illusion Sect is truly annoying. Their surroundings are so empty but they just have to sit in front of us, what an eyesore!"

Jin Zhanshan came back to his sense as a smile appeared on his face when he heard his junior sister's words. He lightly shook his head and said, "Just leave them alone."

The girl nodded her head and looked away. She then saw two familiar figures approaching them from afar.

"Senior Apprentice Brother Lin Nanhai and Senior Apprentice Sister Si'er have returned." The young woman's eyes shined when she saw the two familiar figures approaching from far. But then her eyes narrowed as she again said, "Who are those people following behind them?"

While they were talking, Lin Nanhai was the first to run over.

"People from the Myriad Illusion Sect?" Lin Nanhai looked at the other group of people in shock. He did not expect that just as he went out to patrol, the people from Myriad Illusion Sect had already arrived.

"Senior brother Lin, who are those people behind you?" The girl asked curiously.

Lin Nanhai turned around with his arms slightly raised. "Senior Brother Jin Zhanshan, do you know that guy at the front?"

Jin Zhanshan froze for a moment as his gaze followed the direction where Lin Nanhai was pointing at.

A familiar young figure entered his sight. It was a handsome man with a slightly thin face that has sharp features as if it had been carved with a knife. His bright smile gradually spread across his face. Jin Zhanshan's body trembled slightly as a surprising light appeared in her eyes.

"Qin Feng!" Jin Zhanshan called out Qin Feng's name. His call was accompanied by an unconcealable sense of happiness.

Qin Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother Jin, long time no see!"

Brother?

The people on both sides were stunned. Did they get it wrong? Jin Zhanshan was called brother by the young man who came just now. Didn't the rumor say that Jin Zhanshan has no friends?

But some of them had already heard that during the Cold Winter Small Conference, Jin Zhanshan stood up for a young man. From their conversation, everyone could say that Jin Zhanshan saw that young man as his friend.

Immediately after, Qin Feng went up to the sacrificial altar and walked in front of Jin Zhanshan, and said, "Brother Jin, I didn't think that I would be able to see you here."

Jin Zhanshan was also surprised when he saw Qin Feng. He laughed heartedly and said, "Indeed. I also didn't expect to meet Brother Qin here. And you have come with beautiful ladies of Hidden Orchid Pure Land. It truly is surprising."

Hearing this, everyone once again was surprised. It has to know that Hidden Orchid Pure Land has the word 'hidden' in its name because its gate is closed for outsiders. Hidden Orchid Pure Land only cultivates female disciples and these disciples were personally chosen by the teachers and elders of the Hidden Orchid Pure Land.

Hidden Orchid Pure Land was also famous for not participating in any event. The last time exception was when Fan Feng Yi participated in the Cold Winter Small Conference and this time, there was yet another exception.

From this, one can say that there were some changes in the Hidden Orchid Pure Land.

It is said that Hidden Orchid Pure Land is very powerful, powerful enough to even go against a well-established sect of the Central Region. But it was still a rumor and no one knows if it is true or not.

"Young Master Jin Zhanshan, we meet again." Fan Feng Yi greeted Jin Zhanshan in her charming voice that shook the heart of every men present, including Jin Zhanshan and Qin Feng. But these two quickly recovered.

"Seductive Witch!" Jin Zhanshan cursed in his heart and said politely with a burst of hearted laughter, "Haha, Miss Feng Yi, you are still as beautiful as ever."

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Qin Feng, Fan Feng Yi, and the rest looked at the people from Myriad Illusion Sect a few times.

Myriad Illusion Sect was a type of Sect that focused mainly on cultivating illusion techniques, so it could be considered a rather special sect.

"That woman didn't come?" Fan Feng Yi asked casually with a slight raise of her eyebrows when she saw the disciples of the Myriad Illusion Sect.

"Miss Feng Yi is talking about Fan Xiaoruo of the Myriad Illusion Sect, right?" Jin Zhanshan asked.

Fan Feng Yi smiled and did not deny it.

If Fan Xiaoruo was here, she would definitely be the one leading the Myriad Illusion Sect.. But the one leading the group there was a gentle-looking fair-skinned young man with a medium build body.
