Azure Dragon Ravine of Eagle Gorge is a gathering place for the most powerful rogue cultivators in the area, with countless forces big and small converging, and innumerable powerful figures and wandering warlords!

This area, standing upright in a hanging valley among the mountains, could be considered a micro-city, and its heritage is so prosperous that even top powerful forces like the Purple Flame Palace dare not provoke it lightly.

Inside the Azure Dragon Ravine of Eagle Gorge, there is a mansion, standing by the side of the hanging cliff, named Duanmu Mansion, appearing very grand.

At this moment, wispy clouds and mist surround the center of Duanmu Mansion, where there is a small lake resembling a bright pearl, adorned there, with mist rising and spiritual light sparkling, accompanied by the melodious sound of a zither, creating an exceptionally elegant atmosphere.

And at the very center of that lake area stands a pavilion, with sparse spiritual light, and several people sitting inside at this moment. Among them, the aura of three individuals is the most terrifying.

The first is an old man with a youthful face and crane-like hair sitting at the main seat in the hall. Each temple has a wisp of long white hair draping to the edge of his neck, eyes slightly squinted, lips thick, grinning like a smiling tiger.

At this time, if there was an old resident who has been in the Azure Dragon Ravine for a long time, they would definitely have their face slightly changed, exclaiming in surprise; ’Elder Duanmu!?’

Indeed, this old man, giving off an eerie feeling like a smiling tiger, is no one else but the renowned rogue powerhouse at the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm in the Azure Dragon Ravine! Elder Duanmu.

However, at this moment, it seems that he is not alone in this pavilion.

One could see someone seated to the left and right of Elder Duanmu, each in a position where no one dared to look directly.

To the left, a bald old man with squinting eyes, having a dozen or so gray-white long whiskers remaining, seems at least seventy or eighty, with many teeth missing from his dry mouth.

However, if you dare to underestimate him for this reason, then you are gravely mistaken.

This bald, squint-eyed, seventy or eighty-year-old man’s name is Lui Chao. In the Eagle Gorge Area... he may not be very prominent, but if it were in some region thousands of miles away, the name of Lui Chao, the Foundation Establishment True Person at the First Heavenly Layer, is nonetheless quite well-known.

Indeed, this Lui Chao is also a Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert! In terms of combat power, he is probably not much inferior to Elder Duanmu.

Aside from that, the one on Elder Duanmu’s right is a man with a square face wearing a gray-yellow robe. His eyes are sharp like knives, broad-shouldered and robust, exuding a mighty yet domineering aura, giving the first impression of being unapproachable.

And, in fact, that’s exactly the case. Yan Zhou, the ’Iron Lion,’ is his nickname and name.

Although this person, like Elder Duanmu and Lui Chao, is also a rogue Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert, it’s said that he already has the ’blood of fallen’ of more than one same-level cultivator on his hands.

In other words, Yand Zhou, the Iron Lion, has the blood of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts on his hands! Isn’t such a person much more formidable than the former two?

”Brother Duanmu, I heard that there’s news coming from that Canglan Island over there? How about it, is that Alchemist willing to come over here?” Sitting in the hall, Lui Chao suddenly asks with a smirking expression.

”Hmm?” Hearing this, Yand Zhou, the Iron Lion, also slightly moves his eyes, puts down the teacup in his hand, and looks at Elder Duanmu.

”Brother Lub, you are indeed well-informed. The news just arrived from over there, and you already know it in advance?”

Being stared at so directly by two First Heavenly Layer Foundation Establishment True Person Realm experts, Elder Duanmu did not flinch but slightly shook his head, squinted, and smiled gently, then continued to speak: ”But yes, the news has indeed arrived from over there. The Alchemist... seems to be on the way to our Azure Dragon Ravine now.”

”Really?”

Hearing this, Lui Chao, his face full of age spots, couldn’t help but get excited, then smiled and looked at Elder Duanmu, saying: ”It’s still Brother Duanmu who has a way. Without you, if we just foolishly ran to that Canglan Island, probably we would be in a passive position.”

”Hehe.” Hearing this, Elder Duanmu smiled slightly, but there was a hint of subtle arrogance in his gaze, as he opened his mouth and said: ”Those Alchemists, each of them is arrogant, looking down on everyone, with their nostrils in the air... So if we obediently went to Canglan Island, who knows how they might make things difficult, how harsh they could be! They would definitely think that as long as we have a request for them, it’s their capital to be arrogant.”

”Exactly! These Alchemists, relying on their ability to refine pills, act as if they don’t know what they are, who they are. Give them some face, and they just know how to push their limits, looking down on people, what the hell...” Lui Chao seemed to share deep feelings, frowning and cursing through gritted teeth.

In fact, because of some matters, he needed the help of an Alchemist, and over the past few years, he had quite a few dealings with those high-nosed guys, but even so, he swallowed his anger and frustration, yet until now, the issue hadn’t been resolved. How could he not be frustrated?

Therefore, when Elder Duanmu suggested giving that unknown mysterious Alchemist a small show of strength, he agreed without hesitation.

Even a clay figurine has some degree of fire, not to mention Lui Chao, a dignified Foundation Establishment True Person Realm expert, would he be joking?

”Although that’s the case, what if... if we inadvertently cause trouble, what should we do then?” But at this moment, Yand Zhou, the Iron Lion with the square face, opened his mouth with some concern.

Although the bad temper of those Alchemists, and their high-nosed, haughty attitude are somewhat annoying, the problem is, after all, it’s them asking for help first, so lowering their stance a bit is not without reason.

Otherwise, if the other party is unwilling to help them, what should they do then?

No way, they were the ones asking for a favor? They deserved to be passive.

”Brother Yan, you can’t say that. Do you know who we are? We are dignified experts of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, so even if that person is an Alchemist, shouldn’t he show us some respect?”

Elder Duanmu spoke lightly, the pride between his brows becoming more evident.

Then he calmly said, ”Those who look down on us, thinking themselves above it all because we need them, acting arrogantly... In my opinion, humph! We might as well just capture him. Once we have him, would he dare not to work for us?”

”Capture him?” Lui Chao seemed a bit tempted, squinting his eyes as he murmured.

”Brother Duanmu, you shouldn’t say such things lightly.” But Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, suddenly darkened his expression upon hearing this, and his voice gradually turned cold, ”You should know about my brother’s situation. Since this person can refine Second Level Superior Six-Pattern Silver Striped Pills, he’s my last hope.”

After saying this, Yan Zhou paused, his voice growing even colder, ”Let me make this clear: if that person can’t save my brother, so be it. But if there’s even a sliver of hope, I won’t allow anyone to ruin it! Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my back on them.”

As he spoke, a fierce aura gradually emanated from inside him, remarkably intimidating.

The faces of Lui Chao and Elder Duanmu changed simultaneously.

”Brother Yan, what’s this about? Brother Duanmu surely didn’t mean anything by it, just making conversation. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry...” Then Lui Chao stepped forward with a smile to mediate.

At the same time, he gave a subtle deep look at Yan Zhou. That gaze was filled with apprehension.

Could this guy have reached the peak of the First Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm!?

”Haha, since Brother Yan doesn’t like hearing this, I won’t say it. After all, I’m also seeking something from that person, right?” Elder Duanmu chuckled and let it slide.

...

Days later, within a certain mountain range, three low growling sounds were speeding along. Those three figures were three imposing Black Feather Fierce Wolves, ridden by Chen Fei, Cang Kun, and Blue Whale.

Clearly, they were currently on their way to Azure Dragon Ravine.

Although, speaking of such a long journey, it was indeed a rare and novel experience for Chen Fei.

After all, he had never ridden a fierce wolf for such a long journey before.

”Master, once we go over that peak ahead, Azure Dragon Ravine should be close.” During the journey, Taoist Cang Kun suddenly pointed at a steep and towering peak in front and said.

”Almost there? Then let’s hurry up, speed up.” Upon hearing this, Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly, and he spoke.

Howl~

Howl, howl, howl~

The three fierce wolves beneath them instinctively howled and sped up toward that peak!

After crossing that peak, a scene of a different world gradually unfolded, revealing the mysterious veil.

Beyond the steep and towering peak was a massive trench, like a heavenly rift, extending deep into the distance.

”What is that?” Not only that, when Chen Fei saw the rough outline of the heavenly rift-like massive trench, he couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly.

Because on the towering cliff faces of that stretching, distant trench, there were rows and rows of structures neatly built.

Those buildings were constructed against the steep rock face, with some even hidden in the caves on both sides, one layer after another. Seeing such a scene for the first time was truly shocking and awe-inspiring.

”Is this Azure Dragon Ravine?” Chen Fei asked curiously.

”Yes, Master, this is Azure Dragon Ravine.” Taoist Cang Kun nodded with a smile and said.

Upon receiving such a definite answer from Taoist Cang Kun, Chen Fei’s eyes grew more astonished. He gazed at the awe-inspiring and novel scene for a long time before gradually withdrawing his gaze.

”Let’s go, we’ll head over there.” Then, they were seen riding the fierce wolves, speeding toward it. Cang Kun and Blue Whale also followed without hesitation.
