Southwest of the temple.

In the dense mountains and forests, a group of people and horses hid under the shade of towering vegetation, silently and waiting in full formation.

The leader of the team is a five-state dignitary wearing golden battle armor, the Golden Eagle Martial Saint of the Feather Clan, known as the "Iron-Blooded Law Enforcer."

In the button communication tool in his hand, a brief call had just ended.

"The second team is trapped. The situation is not optimistic. I'm afraid they won't be able to arrive at the meeting point on time; the task force is temporarily unable to get through."

"knew."

The reply came from the back of the team, and his words were concise and to the point.

The Golden Eagle Martial Saint nodded silently.

Pressing his hands to signal everyone to be on standby, he raised his head and looked up at the sky:

"The reconnaissance function of the Sky Eye has expired. For now, we can only try to see if a higher-dimensional perspective can break through the vast mountain fog."

As he spoke, he spread out his magnificent golden wings from behind his unique armor, and instantly turned into a beam of lightning, cutting through the thick fog, soaring up into the clouds!

That is his five-state natural force, the ability to turn clouds into light and see the sun in the fog.

However, this "fog" cannot be easily penetrated by ordinary natural forces.

Under the expectant gaze of his followers, the Golden Eagle Martial Saint tossed and turned in the high altitude for a long time, and was finally forced to fold his wings and land.

He bent his knees and propped himself up on the thick tree trunk, breathing faintly.

The fog is too big.

Not only was he unable to tell where he was going, but he also consumed a lot of energy for no reason.

Especially the process of lifting into the air is like Mount Tai. Every inch of ascent is accompanied by overload consumption. The higher the altitude, the more difficult it is.

He didn't stop there.

Instead, he drew his sword and pointed it to the sky, instantly slashing out countless arcs of light, shooting out in all directions!

Countless birds that were startled quietly fell to the dust before they could flutter their wings and take off. No one was spared wherever the arc of light passed.

The sword was returned to its sheath, and the voice of questioning came from the rear of the team:

"What did you see?"

"The fog is too thick, I can't see the edge, and the light emitted is not reflected back."

The Golden Eagle Martial Saint said:

"The geographical environment here is very different from the one in the intelligence. We were ambushed."

…

West side of the temple.

In the night sky, Ji Ming focused on the darkness ahead and answered Mr. Lan's question:

"We have entered each other's labyrinth. The next trip will have more twists and turns."

"Maze, I guess you have a countermeasure?" Lan Junxian still maintained an elegant demeanor in the thick fog of the dark night.

I saw Ji Ming reaching out and patting the giant gryphon beneath him, holding on to the long-handled battle ax, and reminded him half jokingly, half seriously: "Please, don't open your eyes for the time being."

…

In the deep forest southwest of the temple.

The light beams fired by the Golden Eagle Martial Saint with all their strength were like stones sinking into the sea, disappearing in the mist in all directions.

The icy thick fog not only obscured the perspective of the team's march, but also greedily devoured the energy and physical strength of the lawful card holders present like hungry beasts, causing continuous and endless consumption.

"The situation is not right, something is fishy!" The Golden Eagle Martial Saint frowned coldly.

Just as they were about to continue using high-level props, a ball of flame burst through the air behind the team!

The flames jumped in the air for a long time, quickly swept to both sides, and surrounded everyone in the Yu clan.

Under the dazzling golden light, Elder Jin of the Yu clan, wearing a golden robe and often wearing a mask, suddenly walked from the back of the team:

"Those are the six-state conceptual power that only clergy card holders have. It ranks above the Heavenly Eye, so it makes sense that you can't deal with it."

She has a calm demeanor and a firm tone.

The Yu Clan card holders on both sides backed down one after another, showing great awe to this senior priest. The Golden Eagle Martial Saint also lowered his eyebrows and nodded in front of Elder Jin, restraining his majestic and domineering side.

"Elder Jin."

"Um."

Elder Jin passed the Golden Eagle Martial Saint and came to the front of the team. He spread his hands and saw a transparent alms bowl in his palm.

Seeing this, the Golden Eagle Martial Saint's pupils tightened and his brows furrowed slightly: "Are you going to use the Infinite Bowl, a clerical item? Why do you need to do this..."

The Wuji Bowl is a high-level clerical item held by the government. Once the bowl is in hand, the coverage of the clergy's concept power can be expanded several times. It is a sharp weapon used in high-dimensional war zone strikes.

"Do not be nervous."

Elder Jin let go of the alms bowl body with both hands, making it float between his two palms:

"Right now, this arrogant six-state conceptual power has enveloped the entire mountain range, weakening and blocking our army's path. Ji Ming, Udo's team may also be suffering from it, although my "purification" power is enough

You take care of yourself, but in the end it’s hard to sing alone.”

The golden eagle suddenly understood: "You want to dispel the conceptual power of the entire mountain and clear the way for Ji Ming and Rain Vine!"

"Exactly."

After saying that, Elder Jin exerted force with both hands, and the invisible power poured into the body of the alms bowl, glowing with a powerful and dazzling white light!

Elder Jin behind the mask looked directly at Bai Mang, and spoke a brief command slowly from his mouth:

"Extremely pure and scattered——"

Her fingertips flicked on the body of the bowl.

Immediately, white light burst out from Elder Jin's palms, and the bright light overwhelmed the light of the flame, pouring into the mountains, rivers, heaven and earth!

It's like a rushing river, majestic and magnificent! Wherever it passes, the fog disappears and the clouds open, and everything as far as the eye can see is clear and bright.

And these only happen in a few moments.

The battle of conceptual power often does not require too much fussy preparation and deliberation. It is as difficult to predict as dark and as moving as thunder.

The flames surrounding the team calmly subsided.

After clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, there were still followers who secretly exclaimed at what they saw: "This is the six-state conceptual power... It has been solved with just one breath..."

However, just when everyone's attention was focused on Elder Jin, several commotions outside quickly aroused alarm!

"Oh, be careful!"

Following the sound, some colleagues fluttered their wings and jumped into the air with faces full of surprise. But below them, someone was being dragged by something underground and was sinking uncontrollably.

Looking more closely, except for the ground that was originally surrounded by flames, the surrounding soil has become a man-eating swamp, surging with greedy sounds, like a devil about to eat.

A golden light flashed and split open the swamp, allowing the Yu clan card holder trapped in the swamp to escape.

The Golden Eagle Martial Saint waved his hands expressionlessly and ordered: "Stay alert!"

Then face the front of the team, where the swamp surge is the most intense.

Waves of cold laughter have reached everyone's ears through the swamp, and the voice belongs to an old woman:

"Huo Laoya, I never thought that you and I would meet again in this way today!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Yu clan card holders were shocked.

It's not because they recognize the owner of the voice, but the three words "Fire Old Crow"! It's the common name of the mythical beast identity tag "Bifang" held by Elder Jin!

Golden Eagle Martial Saint secretly looked at Elder Jin beside him.

Although he couldn't see Elder Jin's expression at this situation through the mask, he could be sure that the other party would never be happy about this.

However, the next moment, Elder Jin's slightly hesitant voice came from behind the mask:

"Crazy python, sister?"

Unexpected response.

The Golden Eagle Martial Saint was shocked by Elder Jin's reaction, and quickly looked at the short, rickety figure emerging from the depths of the swamp.

The figure gradually became clear in front of everyone, and turned into a sixty-year-old woman with a vicissitudes of life but a tough expression. She was dressed in coarse linen clothes and sneered at everyone:

"long time no see."

"you are……"

The sharp eyes of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint gradually widened, and he faced the scene that was happening in front of him with a rare and unbelievable expression: the deceased, the former senior, was currently standing in front of him.

Elder Jin quickly regained his composure, skipped the formalities, and directly asked the old python woman:

"If I remember correctly, the old sister should have been unfortunately killed in the mission more than ten years ago. What happened? Why are you near the Holy Mountain Temple?"

The old python woman snorted coldly, and her smile gradually deepened: "Sister, do you really not know, or are you asking knowingly?"
