The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

That figure was not anyone else, but indeed Gu Hanshan!

At this moment, Gu Hanshan was walking among the corpses of many demon beasts, his face pale and his body soaked in sweat. With every step he took, his body trembled severely, as if he was enduring great pain.

“It’s him!” Qing Jianzi’s expression darkened upon seeing Gu Hanshan.

Fang Lin nodded, “Finally found him.”

Yang Pojun questioned, “Isn’t this Gu Hanshan from your Purple Mist Sect? What is he doing?”

Fang Lin frowned, “I’m not sure, but he must have some mission to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.”

Everyone could tell that Gu Hanshan struggled to move within the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, but he was still gritting his teeth and persisting, continuing towards his destination.

“Huh? Why are there so many kids here?” Suddenly, a chilling voice resounded.

Everyone abruptly looked up to see a figure slowly descending from the cliffside.

Upon recognizing this person, everyone’s faces changed instantly. Even Fang Lin and the others entered a state of high alert, quickly taking on defensive postures.

Qing Jianzi, Yang Pojun, and Li Youbing all looked extremely grim, gripping their weapons tightly.

The newcomer was robed in black, his long hair loosely falling over his shoulders. His face was slightly eerie, bloodstains visible at the corners of his mouth; it seemed as though he had just fought a fierce battle.

Feng Qianqiu!

Nobody expected that the sudden entrant would be none other than Feng Qianqiu, who had been causing a ruckus in Qian Country for a long time!

The sudden appearance of Feng Qianqiu left everyone on the scene feeling a wave of fear. This was a notorious figure who had committed countless murders in Qian Country. His appearance here meant that their situation had become extremely dangerous.

Especially for the royal members, their faces showed utter despair. Feng Qianqiu was a formidable opponent who managed to withstand the combined forces of the four Princes; how could any of them survive if he were to attack them?

Feng Qianqiu smiled, his gaze keenly observing the crowd before landing on Gu Hanshan who was struggling through the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.

“This kid is quite interesting, knowing that there’s treasure in the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard,” Feng Qianqiu chuckled.

Upon hearing his words, Fang Lin’s heart stirred. It seemed that Feng Qianqiu had some knowledge about the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.

“Why are all of you so afraid of me? I haven’t said I was going to kill you all,” scoffed Feng Qianqiu, looking at their wary expressions.

No one responded. They would be fools if they believed Feng Qianqiu’s words. Even Fang Lin was strategizing about how to handle the situation.

However, after putting his mind to it, Fang Lin began feeling a sense of despair. Feng Qianqiu was too strong, and even if all of them joined forces, they would not be a match for him.

In the face of absolute power, all other considerations were irrelevant.

“Since all you kids managed to make it here, it couldn’t have been easy. I’ll tell you what’s up with this Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, then you need to help me with something,” Feng Qianqiu said, grinning at them. However, everyone knew he was up to no good.

Regardless if anyone responded, Feng Qianqiu started talking.

The Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard originated from a great war between the Human Clan and demon beasts. Countless demon beasts fell here, forming this graveyard.

The corpses of these powerful beasts were treasures in their own right, especially those immortal ones, their worth was immeasurable.

Apart from this, the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard held numerous treasures left behind by the Human Clan and demon beasts. Although most of them were in ruins, some intact ones were waiting to be discovered.

So, it was fair to say that the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, despite being a terrifying place filled with demon Qi, was undoubtedly a treasure trove.

Everyone understood that Gu Hanshan was trying to find treasures in the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard, hence his relentless efforts despite the difficult path.

But they were also perplexed. Why would Feng Qianqiu be so kind as to tell them this?

As expected, after Feng Qianqiu had finished speaking, he watched them with a half-smile. “Next, all of you will pave the way for me.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone’s faces changed drastically. Feng Qianqiu was actually asking them to lead the path into the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard!

Feng Qianqiu crossed his arms over his chest, taunting, “If you don’t want to die, you should obediently get inside, or else you’ll suffer when I throw you in there.”

Fang Lin’s face hardened. This feeling of being threatened was unbearable, and he could understand how Li Youbing felt when he was constantly threatened by him.

Yang Pojun gritted his teeth, looking like he was ready to fight Feng Qianqiu.

Fang Lin immediately held him back and said to Feng Qianqiu, “We’re going in!”

After that, he signaled the crowd not to make any rash moves and suggested they comply for now.

Yang Pojun obviously wasn’t pleased, but there wasn’t much he could do. All he could do was humph disdainfully and glower at Feng Qianqiu.

With resentful faces, everyone walked into the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard. The moment they entered, they felt a sudden heaviness, and their steps became heavier.

“I’m curious to see which of you little kids can walk more than a hundred steps,” Feng Qianqiu said from the back, laughing.

Looking around at the numerous skeletal remains of demon beasts, Fang Lin and his companions grew increasingly anxious. With each step forward, the feeling of heaviness on their bodies intensified.

However, they could still use their Inner Strength, which made things a little easier for now.

If it was solely their physical strength, it would be incredibly difficult to progress in this Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.

Gu Hanshan, who was already quite far ahead, turned back and sneered with contempt.

Fang Lin happened to see him turn around and his eyes flashed with a cold light. He really wanted to throw the Boundless Stone at Gu Hanshan and kill him.

Gu Hanshan had already managed to navigate fifty steps in. Although he looked extremely miserable, it seemed that he could persist for a while longer.

Fang Lin gritted his teeth and followed in pursuit of Gu Hanshan.

As they ventured deeper, the difference between them quickly became evident.

Qing Jianzi, Li Youbing, Fang Lin, and Yang Pojun led the way, with Yang Pojun leading the group like a mighty bull, maintaining a steady pace.

The others, however, were straggling behind, their pace slowing down as if something was pulling them back.

Suddenly, Fang Lin spotted a two-legged ginseng not too far away, leisurely walking around, which made his eyes widen.

“A Thousand-year Ginseng!” Fang Lin silently cursed. This little creature was daring enough to venture into this damned place and seemed to be unaffected by the Qi of the Ten Thousand Beast Graveyard.
