Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 939 - 849: Encountering a Swarm of Snakes

Tang Chaoyang immediately approached Duan Gujin and personally returned the identity token to him.He had previously used his Divine Sense to investigate the identity tokens in the disciples' hands and knew that the Divine World's identity tokens couldn't be replicated. The mysterious array within could only be set up by high-level Array Masters.

Tang Chaoyang courteously said to Duan Gujin, "Did you come to the Chaotic Ancient Continent just to travel and explore?"

Duan Gujin promptly replied, "Yes, I just came here to wander a bit and see what's different between this continent and my own. I heard unusual things were happening here, so out of curiosity, I came over. There's a strong Demonic Qi present in this mountain range, so I suspect there might be a sealed demon inside?"

"Yes, there is indeed a sealed demon in this place."

Tang Chaoyang quickly responded.

Duan Gujin said, "Sect Leader, I've heard that at one time, there were a thousand Breakthrough Realm warriors' corpses here. Is this true or not?"

"It's true. The Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect can vouch for the authenticity of this matter!"

Tang Chaoyang nodded vigorously, affirming.

"Then did the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect ever discover how those Breakthrough Realm warriors died?"

Duan Gujin quickly inquired.

"We also wanted to find out the truth, but at that time, there was no way to discern the cause of death for those corpses. A month later, they all turned to ashes, so to this day, we still don't know the cause of death. We can only speculate from some clues that the corpses were poisoned to death at that time!"

Tang Chaoyang explained.

"I think so too. I've heard before that in the Demon Realm, there's a deadly poison, and if Breakthrough Realm and below warriors come into contact with it, most of them will die! So, I suspect that the thousands of Breakthrough Realm warriors were poisoned to death before their demise. There might be a very potent poison in the Wanshi Mountain Range that can kill Breakthrough Realm warriors! Sect Leader, I urge you and your subordinates to be extra careful!"

Duan Gujin warned seriously.

"I will. So, my friend, will you act alone, or do you want to act with us?"

Tang Chaoyang asked.

"If the Sect Leader is willing, I would like to act with you!"

Duan Gujin replied with excitement.

"Alright, Qiming, bring up all the disciples participating in this Dimension Advancement Competition!"

Tang Chaoyang's eyes flashed as he spoke.

"Understood!"

A nearby elder responded.

After a while, the elder named Qiming gathered thirty-four Martial Saints. Among them, the highest cultivation was at the Sixth Level Martial Saint, and the lowest was at the First Level Martial Saint.

Duan Gujin glanced at the thirty-four Martial Saints and quickly focused his attention on one of them, recognizing the features that bore some resemblance to Mo Yan, whom he had met in his previous life in the Divine World.

"It should be him!"

He exhaled a breath and his eyes flickered.

Tang Chaoyang immediately introduced Duan Gujin to the thirty-four Martial Saint disciples: "Everyone, let me introduce someone to you. This friend is named Duan Gujin. I wonder if any of you are familiar with this name?"

One Martial Saint's eyes flashed, and he said, "Sect Leader, I've seen this name. He placed seventh in this Dimension Advancement Competition!"

"Oh, you should all get to know each other!"

Tang Chaoyang then made sure Duan Gujin met his disciples.

"Hello, everyone, I am Duan Gujin. I happened to pass by today and sensed an anomaly here, so I came to investigate! I hope to act together with you all!"

"Welcome! Welcome!"

During the previous Dimension Advancement Competition, the Martial Saints had covered their faces, and none could use Divine Sense to discern the other's true features.

The Martial Saints present knew little about Duan Gujin and were merely amazed at his seventh-place finish in the Dimension Advancement Competition.

"Very well, Duan Gujin, you can act with my Core Disciples!"

Tang Chaoyang said.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Duan Gujin said, as he glanced at the Martial Saints, before walking over to Mo Yan.

He said to Mo Yan, "My friend, you seem familiar to me. You're Mo Yan, aren't you?"

"Yes! How do you know me?" Mo Yan's eyes flickered, confused about how the person before him could know his name.

"A friend of mine told me. He said there's someone named Mo Yan in the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect. During the Divine Realm Plane Promotion Competition, everyone had their faces covered. He only knew you as Mo Yan and saw you at the end!"

Duan Gujin explained.

Mo Yan thought about it carefully and found no fault in Duan Gujin's words.

"Oh, I see. I am Mo Yan, pleased to meet you!"

Mo Yan said courteously.

"I am Duan Gujin, pleased to meet you too!"

Duan Gujin responded.

After a while, Tang Chaoyang dispatched people to investigate the Wanshi Mountain Range.

Duan Gujin's team joined Tang Chaoyang and ten elders, forming the main force.

"In my past life, I remember Mo Yan's sect suffered heavy losses when entering the Wanshi Mountain Range. The Sect Leader died on the spot. I wonder what will happen in this lifetime?"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, recalling the information he had previously gathered from Mo Yan. How accurate it was compared to reality, he wasn't sure.

After listening to Duan Gujin, Tang Chaoyang felt an unusual tension and didn't dare to take it lightly.

He pondered Duan Gujin's words, believing the latter might have guessed some things, but like them, he needed to enter the Wanshi Mountain Range to uncover the real truth.

Previously, he thought the Wanshi Mountain Range was very dangerous.

Now, he was even more convinced of its danger.

He originally intended for the Martial Saint disciples in the Dimension Advancement Competition to gain experience in the Wanshi Mountain Range, but now he feared it might be life-threatening.

He contemplated for a while before deciding to discuss strategies with the other elders.

After a while, the elders decided to let half of the Core Disciples return.

"If all our Core Disciples meet with misfortune, the entire Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect would be doomed!"

One elder expressed his concern.

Tang Chaoyang was also very worried about such a situation occurring. Hearing the elder's concern made him even more anxious about the possibility of accidents.

Hence, he decided to let half of the Core Disciples leave.

To Duan Gujin's surprise, Mo Yan was part of the departing group.

Due to Tang Chaoyang's orders, Mo Yan had no choice but to comply.

Duan Gujin could only scratch his nose at the result, realizing he couldn't tell Tang Chaoyang to have Mo Yan stay with him.

"Hmm, a miscalculation!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, accepting the outcome with a resigned nose rub.

"If Mo Yan doesn't participate in this action, or if he loses his entire right arm in the next, I must uncover the secret of the Wanshi Mountain Range!"

He exhaled a heavy breath. He had no definite answers in his heart.

He extended his Divine Sense to cautiously investigate the surrounding scenery.

After advancing a certain distance, the team suddenly halted.

"Everyone, stay alert! There's a situation ahead!"

One elder shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the elder's shout, everyone quickly stopped in their tracks, extending their Divine Sense to investigate the scene ahead.

A moment later, they discovered an entire mountainside teeming with snakes.

The snakes, in a multitude of colors, were writhing densely on the ground, causing the Martial Artists present to break out in a cold sweat.

After investigating the surroundings, they realized that the appearance of the snakes was quite unusual.

Upon entering the Wanshi Mountain Range, they had seen thick ice on the ground.

By all accounts, such an environment shouldn't produce such an astounding number of snakes.

Yet, when they looked up, they saw a flood of snakes crazily surging toward them from the front.

Moreover, they smelled an extremely foul stench in the air ahead.

They gasped in shock, anxiously awaiting the Sect Leader's command.

Tang Chaoyang extended his Divine Sense, and after a while, he ordered everyone to retreat while he and the other elders threw heaps of wood and kerosene drawn from their storage rings onto the ground ahead.

When the snakes got close to the kerosene-soaked woodpiles, he immediately ignited the kerosene.

Instantly, the wood burned fiercely.

Many snakes turned to ashes in the blazing inferno.
