Chapter 171: The Dragon-Head Walking Stick

A Celestial-tier powerhouse spoke up.

"I can sense that this place is terrifying, as if it truly is a forbidden zone!"

"Oppression! That is my most direct feeling upon arriving here!"

An elder beside Song Donghua also spoke. After all, he was a Golden Immortal!

In stark contrast, some of the lower-level Mysterious Immortals felt almost nothing at all.

"Elder, this place feels so terrifying. I can sense that it is a place of unfathomable mystery. Are we really going to move against it?"

Yang Dingyan looked up and said to Elder Song Donghua beside him.

Even standing right here, he felt a deep sense of dread.

He even had a faint urge to flee from this place.

Having already arrived, Song Donghua was simply unwilling to back down.

Besides, what would happen if they retreated?

The sect and the Immortal Monarch would surely punish them severely!

"We cannot back down!"

"Now that we are here, we must go in and take a look. If this really is a forbidden zone... all the more reason for us to investigate it thoroughly!"

"Move out! Everyone, follow me!"

With those words, Song Donghua stepped forward and shouted loudly toward the small mountain village.

"The Qiluo Holy Sect has arrived! We challenge the small mountain village!"

"Get out here and show yourselves immediately, or the Qiluo Holy Sect will wipe every last one of you out!"

He roared at the top of his lungs!

His bellow echoed throughout the entire small mountain village!

...

Inside the small mountain village.

Grandpa Liu was lounging on a reclining chair by the front gate.

The sun was shining brightly, making him feel quite drowsy.

Suddenly, shouts from outside reached his ears, jolting him awake in an instant.

"Who is making such a racket!"

Still half-asleep, Grandpa Liu rubbed his eyes with his hand.

He got up and looked toward the entrance of the small mountain village.

Scores of people were standing there.

In neat and orderly ranks!

Their expressions varied, and their garments were equally diverse!

In their hands, they held all sorts of strange items.

Swords, spears, staves, and clubs were one thing, but there were also silk ribbons, mirrors, banners, and scissors...

A completely chaotic mess.

Grandpa Liu stared in absolute bewilderment, utterly baffled by what was going on.

At that moment.

The members of the Qiluo Holy Sect also spotted Grandpa Liu.

Instantly, they grew tense, their faces tightening in unison.

"There are actually living beings inside this forbidden zone!"

"This is terrifying, isn't it? Will he come out?"

"Aren't the legends saying that if anything alive comes out of a forbidden zone, it will bring catastrophe to the entire world?!"

Everyone was extremely nervous now.

At this moment.

Chen Sang also caught sight of Grandpa Liu.

He hurriedly stepped forward.

"Elder Song, that is the terrifying entity I saw when I previously came to the Tianwu Realm!"

He said cautiously.

Hearing this, Yang Dingyan and Song Donghua both raised their guards.

Song Donghua even scrutinized the old man standing at the village entrance from head to toe.

Panic began to churn within his heart, especially when he caught sight of the walking stick the old man leaned upon!

That was a dragon-head walking stick!

He had no idea what kind of wood it was crafted from.

Yet even across such a vast distance, they could still perceive the aura emanating from the staff.

Utterly terrifying!

It felt as though a mighty dragon was coiled around the walking stick!

"That walking stick..." Song Donghua had reached the peak of tension.

"Could this be the forbidden grounds of the Dragon Clan?"

"That can't possibly be true..."

Song Donghua's body trembled uncontrollably.

Yet he gritted his teeth and held his ground, slowly stepping forward.

"Song Donghua of the Qiluo Holy Sect, I accept the challenge!"

"Hurry up and get out here to fight, or else I will make you taste the flavor of death!"

Song Donghua shouted through gritted teeth.

In his hand, he gripped a silver-gray jar tightly.

At the slightest sign of trouble, he would instantly hurl the silver-gray jar out to protect himself.

Grandpa Liu was currently right at the village entrance!

Hearing these words, he couldn't help but be stunned!

Then, he recognized Elder Chen Sang.

Wasn't this the fellow who had previously sneaked into the village to steal things?

"So it's you lot! You actually had the nerve to come back with reinforcements! How bold of you!"

Grandpa Liu instantly felt a surge of anger.

This fellow had been caught red-handed trying to steal from the village, and now he had the audacity to bring people back for an open confrontation?

Brandishing the walking stick in his hand, he pointed it directly at Elder Chen Sang and shouted in fiery rage!

"You bloody bastards wait right there! How dare you bring people to our village!"

Having said that, Grandpa Liu was too angry to even use his walking stick properly; he turned around and stalked off.

He was going to summon every able-bodied person in the village right now.

Wasn't it just a mass brawl?

Not a single person in their village would ever be afraid!

Today, he was going to teach these people a lesson they would never forget!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Grandpa Liu immediately thought of Zhu Xiaoyuan!

Matters like this had to be reported to little Zhu!

The more Grandpa Liu thought about it, the more convinced he was that he was doing the right thing.

He strode directly toward Zhu Xiaoyuan's courtyard.

Busy rushing off to complain, Grandpa Liu failed to notice what happened behind him.

His walking stick had merely pointed in Chen Sang's direction.

Before Elder Chen Sang could even emit a single scream, he vanished completely into thin air.

Leaving behind nothing but a mist of blood!

Everyone from the Qiluo Holy Sect was struck dumb, unable to utter a single word.

"That's impossible..."

"Chen Sang had mastery over spatial dao laws, and he was a Celestial Immortal!"

"He was just casually pointed at with a walking stick, and he simply died?"

"Without even letting out a scream."

Every single person present dropped their jaws in shock.

"That walking stick... could it be a forbidden divine artifact?"

"I'm certain of it! Otherwise, it wouldn't possess such terrifying might!"

An old man muttered.

His voice was trembling uncontrollably!

"Good heavens, it's a good thing his walking stick was only pointed at Chen Sang just now. If it had been aimed at us, wouldn't we all be dead?"

Thinking of this, Yang Dingyan couldn't help but gasp in horror!

He turned his head to look at Song Donghua.

"Elder, do we really need to keep going? Can we really defeat this opponent?"

Yang Dingyan was genuinely terrified!

That was a Celestial Immortal just a moment ago, yet the opponent killed him with a single finger...

Song Donghua felt a pounding sensation inside his skull!

With bloodshot eyes, he stared at the path Grandpa Liu had taken.

That person was far too terrifying!

Just moments before, he even felt that if that walking stick wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.

At that instant, an impulse to flee seized him.

He dared not linger here any longer.

After all, his own life was of the utmost importance!

Just as Song Donghua was about to turn and leave, a thought suddenly struck him!

"Wait, something doesn't feel right!"

"What's wrong, Elder?" Yang Dingyan hurriedly asked.

Song Donghua muttered thoughtfully, "I suspect they are merely trying to intimidate us!"
