  Forbidden land means no entry allowed!

  In the realm of cultivation, places that can be called forbidden lands are often extremely dangerous.

  The Nanman Forbidden Land is no exception.

  For the cultivators of Songyue City, in the 100,000-mile range of the Nanman mountain range, not only are there many extremely terrifying great demons lurking, but also the survival environment is complex and treacherous, like a battlefield where devils roam freely, it's absolutely not a place for cultivators to dare to set foot with courage.

  Nanman Forbidden Land is located in the depths of the Nanman Mountains, within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

  Chen Tang had lived in Songyan City since childhood and had also heard rumors about the Nanman Forbidden Land. At this time, as soon as he heard that going further would lead him into the Nanman Forbidden Land, he naturally did not dare to advance recklessly again.

  Hunting and killing demonic beasts in the outer periphery of Nanman Mountain can still guarantee one's safety, but if one were to venture into that great demon's rampaged forbidden land, it might not be so simple.

  However, the map in Duan Ying's mouth gave Chen Yu a wake-up call. If he had a map of the Nanman Forbidden Land, he could completely bypass those treacherous places and avoid the terrifying Great Yao's lair to find his target.

  "Senior, the reason why we three dare to come here and take risks is that I have a copy of the ancestral map in my hand, which details the geographical environment and distribution of monsters outside the Nanman forbidden area. If you are not familiar with this place, I can help guide you."

  When Chen Xuan stopped in his tracks, Duan Ying hastily caught up with him and said respectfully.

  Chen Xiao was originally strange, these three people's cultivation were only around the Post-Heavenly Completion Realm, yet they dared to hunt and kill the Silver Wind Leopard in the dark night of Nanman Mountain Forest. Their guts were too big. Only now, after hearing Duan Ying mention the map, did he suddenly realize...

  "I'm going to hunt down a congenital realm great demon." Chen Xiao spoke the truth, he wanted to hear Duan Ying's opinion.

  Congenital Boundary Great Demon?

  Lu Shaocong, Qu Cheng and Duan Ying all took a deep breath in shock.

  Compared to the innate boundary cultivators, the demon beasts that have gone through countless years of tempering and advanced to the innate boundary are not only able to transform into human form, but their cultivation is often deeper than that of the cultivators. Furthermore, after years of killing and baptism, a single innate boundary great demon can completely crush a cultivator of the same boundary, which is extremely formidable.

  It was precisely because of this that when they heard Chen Xiao was going to single-handedly capture and kill a congenital realm great demon, the shock in their hearts could be imagined.

  "Senior, in the outer area of the forbidden land, there is a Ling Cui Lake, where a two-headed purple rhinoceros demon resides. Its strength is around the Early Heaven Realm. Its body is as hard as refined steel, with boundless power and astonishing defense, but it's not good at speed. If you want to capture and kill an Early Heaven Realm great demon, this two-headed purple rhinoceros demon would be the most suitable."

  Duan Ying took out a jade slip, made a quick inquiry, and a look of excitement appeared on his clear face as he said: "Even if we can't defeat it, we can still escape safely."

  Ling E Lake? Double-headed Purple Rhinoceros Great Demon?

  I now possess Innate Eightfold Qi Refining strength, and my physical body has also advanced to the Innate realm. Dealing with this Early-Stage Innate Purple Rhinoceros Demon is just perfect.

  Chen Xiao thought for a moment and asked directly: "Where is the location?"

  "I'll take you there!"

  Duan Ying's face was resolute as he said, "The three of us have already reached the Later Heaven Realm. This time we came to the Nanman Mountains and forests for two reasons: one is to collect the Silver Wind Leopard's sharp claws and fur, and the other is to hunt and kill demonic beasts to temper our strength, hoping to break through the Pre-Heavenly Boundary."

  "Don't refuse, senior." Before Chen Tai could speak, Duan Ying continued: "Senior, rest assured that the three of us will not interfere with your actions. On the contrary, if you encounter some danger, we can also lend a hand to help. We only ask that you let us witness a battle at the Xiantian realm level."

  Chen Xiao was in a dilemma. If he took them with him, he would have to take care of them if they encountered any danger, which would be a hassle. On the other hand, if he didn't agree, he wouldn't know where Ling Cang Lake was and would have to search for it blindly, risking encountering some terrifying demon, which wasn't worth it.

  "Senior, take us with you. Life and death are determined by fate. If we really encounter an unavoidable danger, senior doesn't need to worry about the three of us."

  "Yes, let's go with our seniors."

  Lu Shaocong and Qu Cheng also changed their way of addressing Chen Tang, saying it with a flattering tone.

  Madman!

  "Unbelievable! The disciples of the Red Leaf Academy are so reckless, having just escaped danger and yet they're already risking their lives again. Is breaking through to the next realm really more important than life itself?"

  Although he thought so, a hint of enlightenment flashed through Chen Xiao's mind. Isn't it necessary for a cultivator who defies the heavens and asks about the Tao to have such a conviction?

  In the end, Chen Tang agreed to let the three join his team.

  Lu Shaocong and the other two were excited, dissecting a pile of sharp claws and fur from over a dozen silver wind leopard corpses on the ground. They had planned to give some to Chen Tai, but he shook his head in refusal. These sharp claws and furs were of no use to him, and carrying them would be a burden.

  After a stick of incense, Chen Yu and his party arrived safely at a low hill.

  "Please look ahead." Duan Ying pointed forward, "That's Ling Cui Lake over there."

  Chen Yu looked far away, only to see a vast and boundless great lake ten miles away, quietly rippling under the starry night sky, reflecting a dreamy color.

  Night fog swirls, and one can vaguely see various shapes of monsters walking among the lush aquatic plants, flying birds with wings spanning over ten zhang wide glide on the surface of the lake. This is the realm of monsters!

  "Is this Lingwu Lake? I didn't expect it to be so beautiful..." Chen Xiao murmured to himself.

  "Senior, those two Purple Rhinoceros are lurking at the bottom of the lake's center." Duan Ying explained in a low voice, his demeanor becoming increasingly respectful.

  Along the way, although she had a map in hand, she was still attacked by monsters many times. These monsters were not strong, but they were all good at ambushing and lurking. If Chen Tai hadn't been able to detect them in advance and kill them on the spot, it would have been impossible for the three of them to arrive safely.

  "It's relatively safe here, you three just stay here." Chen's powerful divine soul scanned around and didn't find any traces of the demon beast.

  "Yes." Lu Shaocong and the other two, although unwilling, could only respectfully obey. They knew that approaching Ling Cui Hu with their own strength was simply seeking death.

  Splash!

  Chen Xiao's toes touched the ground, his body like an arrow off the string, quickly sweeping down the hillside, rushing towards Lingkong Lake ten miles away.

  The vast and boundless Linghu Lake seemed to have no edges, with abundant water vapor containing the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If not for those demonic beasts that could be seen everywhere, this place would be like a blessed land of immortals.

  A moment later, Chen Yu arrived at the lake and stood still, gazing into the distance.

  A powerful spiritual force surged out, like a large net, searching for something on the surface of the lake bit by bit.

  Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!

  Those monsters and aquatic creatures wandering around seemed to have sensed something, they were shocked and looked around, then hastily fled and disappeared.

  "My current spiritual power can barely search a range of dozens of miles, and this Ling Cang Lake is so big... if I continue searching like this, I'm afraid it'll be dawn before I find that Double-Headed Purple Qilin..."

  Chen Zhuo suddenly sensed a hint of abnormality. From a very distant mound near Ling Cui Lake, faint voices could be heard conversing.

  Strange, at midnight, how could someone appear inside the forbidden land of Nanman?

  Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then quietly and soundlessly crept towards that mound of earth.

  On the barren hill, there are blocks of smooth and hard rocks, where hundreds of people have gathered. However, only a few dozen are standing, all wearing black uniforms and carrying various weapons with stern expressions. The others are bound by their hands and feet, kneeling on the ground.

  "When is the old rhino coming?"

  "According to reports, it was roughly an hour later."

  "Hmph, this guy's got a big attitude! If it weren't for... Hmph."

  A familiar voice rang out, causing Chen Suo's heart to skip a beat as he hid in the shadows. He looked up to see Wu Guanjia of the Li family standing prominently in the center of the crowd.

  How did this old dog end up here?

  The Purple Rhinoceros Old Monster...... Could it be that he too has come for that Double-Headed Purple Rhinoceros Great Demon?

  "Wu Laogou, I didn't expect that Songyancheng would produce a scum like you! You're willing to sacrifice my life just to curry favor with the Great Demon, it's really shameful for the Li family!" A thin and small youth who was tied up on the ground suddenly burst into loud curses.

  "Ptoo! You're a despicable creature who's only good for being a monster's pawn, even if I die at the hands of that monster, my ghost will never let you off!"

  "You Li family are indeed worthless, with a human face but a beastly heart, worse than animals!"

  The young man took the lead in resisting, and the crowd bound to the ground also followed with angry curses, their voices filled with resentment and anger.

  "Looking for death!"

  A man in black clothes walked up and kicked the young man hard, scolding: "You bunch of trash living in the civilian district, just die if you're going to die, what's with all the nonsense?"

  Commoners... Are these people also like themselves, struggling at the bottom of Songyan City?

  When he heard this, Chen's heart was boiling with murderous intent. Wu was using someone else's life to curry favor with the demon beast, serving as its claw and tooth, completely losing all sense of morality, being despicable and poisonous to the extreme!

  "Who's there? Come out and show yourself!"

  Wu Guan's eyes suddenly turned to the place where Chen Suo was hiding. It was because of Chen Suo's emotional fluctuations, which caused his Qi to leak out and instantly caught Wu Guan's attention.

  "Wu Laogou, today you will die!"

  His tracks were exposed, Chen Tai knew he couldn't hide anymore, so he walked out of the dark and stared coldly at Wu Guan Jia, his eyes filled with a strong desire to kill.

  "Haha! I thought it was someone else, but it's actually you, this unlucky star. The other day, I fell into your trap and lost three core disciples of the Li family. I was planning to settle accounts with you, but unexpectedly, you delivered yourself to my doorstep, what a heavenly coincidence!"

  Wu Guanjia saw Chen Tai, slightly stunned, and immediately burst into loud laughter, waving his hand to order: "Go, break all four limbs of this guy, abolish his cultivation, I want him to become a complete waste!"

  "Ah!"

  A black-clad guard burst out of the crowd, his face ferocious, rubbing his fists and palms as he strode towards Chen Tai.
