Mystic Immortal Peak had countless mountains, but most were forbidden zones — even those who belonged to Mystic Immortal Peak were not permitted to set foot on them without authorization.
And the mountain that served as the gateway to the Martial Marking Fairyland was one of them.
However, this mountain was no longer a forbidden zone now. Instead, it had gathered a great number of people.
The reason was simple: the Martial Marking Fairyland had opened, and everyone gathered here was an elder powerhouse who had accompanied the geniuses entering the Martial Marking Fairyland.
Originally, there was still one full day before the Martial Marking Fairyland closed, so many senior experts on this mountain had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, resting with their eyes closed. The place had been rather peaceful.
But an event that just occurred had thrown the entire mountain into an uproar. Every person wore an expression of shock, their eyes filled with curiosity and confusion.
Just moments ago, three geniuses from the Immortal Slayer Archipelago had voluntarily crushed their teleportation talismans and transported themselves back from the Martial Marking Fairyland.
This sudden turn of events drew everyone's attention. The allotted time for the Martial Marking Fairyland had not yet arrived — this should have been the period when people fought hardest to claim treasures within. Who would crush their talisman and return for no reason?
What's more, all three of them had faces full of terror, as if they had been badly frightened.
Everyone speculated that they had encountered some danger and been forced to crush their talismans in order to escape. But who could have forced people from the Immortal Slayer Archipelago to retreat? And who would dare lay a hand on members of the Immortal Slayer Archipelago?
While the crowd buzzed with speculation, three more figures soon appeared. This time it was even more extraordinary — they were three of the Immortal Slayer Archipelago's supreme geniuses, renowned throughout the Eastern Sea.
Ya Fei, granddaughter of the First of the Nine Immortals of the Immortal Slayer Archipelago and one of the three great beauties of the Eastern Sea.
Murong Wan, sister of Murong Xun — the Eastern Sea's greatest genius — and daughter of the Immortal Slayer Archipelago's Island Master.
And Zhan Feng, son of the Immortal Slayer Archipelago's Second Immortal, Zhan Jiuxiao.
"Why did these three geniuses come out as well?" At this moment, discussions erupted throughout the crowd. Everyone was guessing at what had happened.
After all, the previous three geniuses emerging could be understood — they were strong, but not the strongest. These three, however, were a different matter entirely.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that among everyone who had entered the Martial Marking Fairyland, these three were the strongest. Who could possibly threaten them? The speculation ran wild, yet no one could arrive at an answer.
However, just as everyone was lost in these various conjectures, something even more unexpected occurred. Four more figures appeared on the mountain — none other than the four disciples of the Mystic Immortal Fairy: Chun Wu, Xia Wu, Qiu Wu, and Dong Wu.
This time, the mountain erupted completely. What on earth was going on? Why had all the most powerful participants in this iteration of the Martial Marking Fairyland come out? What had happened?
"Ya Fei, Zhan Feng, Murong Wan — you three are truly shameless and despicable to the extreme! When you couldn't defeat us through fair combat, you resorted to underhanded tactics. Have you no shame left?" The moment Chun Wu emerged, she was livid. She pointed at the three of them and unleashed a furious tirade.
"Chun Wu, I don't know what you're talking about, but I advise you to watch your mouth. If you dare be rude again, don't blame me for not being polite." Ya Fei was not to be outdone — she actually threatened Chun Wu back, as though Chun Wu had wrongly accused her.
"What's the matter? Won't admit it? Or don't dare to admit it? I think you're simply too ashamed to own up!"
