The golden dragon turtle's eyes gleamed with a green light, gazing condescendingly at the humans in front of it, its eyes clearly filled with arrogance and disdain.

  "Go, go quickly." Zhao Dan Chen also said repeatedly.

  Twelve congenital strongmen immediately retreated to the place where the miserable cry had occurred, and soon they found a corpse that had sunk into the muddy water. Apparently, the dead Lianzhang Lao was blown back by the air mass for about 23 zhang, which shows that the impact force of the air mass is astonishing. Fortunately, it was an air mass, and the power was not too concentrated.

  If it were an air blade or an air sword, with the impact force of this air mass, it would be enough to kill a pre-heavenly strong person.

  "Lian Zhanglao is dead!" Gu Yong said in a low voice.

  "Junior brother!"

  "Old Master!"

  Several elders knelt beside the body, these law enforcement elders, some of whom had spent more time with their families than with their fellow disciples. From learning martial arts in primary school to growing up together, some fellow disciples had extremely deep feelings for each other. The death of Elder Lian caused many elders to feel sorrow in their hearts.

  "It's a claw wound, instantly piercing through Lian Zhanglao's skull!" Zhao Danchen observed Lian Zhanglao's head and said, "The shape is irregular, the force of one claw, directly penetrating."

  "It should be a demon beast with sharp claws, its body size shouldn't be too big." Gu Yong also said in a low voice.

  In their view, if it were a human, first of all in this lake bottom, they would definitely set up a primordial true yuan energy shield. That would naturally be discovered from far away. It's impossible for Lian Changlao to only let out a mournful cry.

  Secondly, when humans kill each other, they generally use weapons such as swords and knives.

  And this wound is irregular, like a scratch from a sharp claw.

  "What a monster! Island master, find that monster and kill it to avenge Lian Shibo!" A black-robed burly man growled.

  "Just looking at the claw wound, it's not certain." Gu Yong said, "Moreover, this lake has been at the bottom for thousands of years, and some external demons may not have seen it. The deceased is already dead, revenge depends on the opportunity, but we can't be careless again, being ambushed by demons! In this underwater, demons are silent. And in the dark environment of the water bottom for many years, they can all see very far, while we can't."

  All the elders were secretly trembling with fear.

  In the dark environment, the monsters can move silently with their limbs and then launch a sneak attack! If you're not careful, once alone, it's easy to get killed.

  "Elder ones, in this underwater place, we can never be careless. We've been down here for quite a while now, it's time to go up and get some air, and think carefully about how to enter... the Heavenly Flood Temple. Let's go, let's head back to the cave entrance first."

  At this moment, twelve congenital strongmen brought back the corpse of Lianzhang Old Man.

  ……

  Teng Qing Shan watched as the twelve 'lanterns' disappeared into the distance, and couldn't help but turn his head to glance at the Tian Hong Water Palace tens of meters away within his line of sight... The Tian Hong Water Palace seemed like a gigantic green creature crouching at the bottom of the water, causing one's heart to palpitate. And the golden dragon turtle with green eyes at the palace entrance was actually looking in Teng Qing Shan's direction.

  "It saw me!" Teng Qing Shan exclaimed in surprise.

  The golden dragon turtle can see itself, and it's likely that the golden dragon turtle, which can also see in the dark, can see itself.

  "Roar~~" The golden dragon turtle let out a very faint roar, still crouching at the gate of the palace.

  "Huh?" Teng Qing Shan felt...

  This golden dragon turtle seems to be waiting for itself, with a kind intention. It doesn't seem as ferocious as it was when dealing with the people of Qinghu Island.

  "This golden dragon turtle is a formidable and terrifying monster, even more powerful than the Purple Light Python Dragon! As it guards the Heavenly Flood Water Palace, it should be the most fearsome monster at the bottom of the lake. In any case, I'd better avoid it. Otherwise, if I'm killed by its one move, I won't even have a chance to regret it." This monster that is more terrifying than the Purple Light Python Dragon also made Teng Qing Shan dare not provoke it lightly.

  They immediately fled far away, followed by the twelve people of Qinghu Island.

  Teng Qing Shan recalled sneaking into Bi Han Tan back then and felt a lingering fear.

  Back then, I lived in Tianjia Village from a young age. I knew too little about the Nine States Continent, and as they say, 'the ignorant are fearless'! At that time, my strongest plan had been completed, and my cultivation had reached the level of a Sect Master. Thinking my strength was sufficient, I even dared to provoke the Violet Light Dragon. Luckily, I managed to escape quickly by jumping off a cliff; otherwise, I might have really been killed by the Violet Light Dragon.

  *******

  Teng Qing Shan quietly followed behind, hanging fifty zhang away from the group of people on Qing Hu Island. At this distance, the people on Qing Hu Island were completely unaware.

  It must be said that the innate experts of Qinghu Island are much slower in water than on land.

  Teng Qing Shan's body seemed boneless, his legs lightly wobbling as he moved, his hands occasionally borrowing force, the entire person seeming like a fish swiftly darting about. As for underwater movement ability, those innate experts couldn't even compare to one tenth of Teng Qing Shan's. Innate experts traveling underwater was purely consuming their innate true yuan.

  Along the straight line, it took up more than half a time.

  "Wow!"

  The innate experts of Qinghu Island emerged one by one from the water surface, advancing along the caves that led in all directions. Teng Qing Shan's eyes popped out of the water, gazing at the crowd on Qinghu Island dozens of feet away as they walked until they turned a corner.

  Teng Qing Shan continued to follow, and when he was completely out of the water, Teng Qing Shan suddenly fell down, his ears stuck to the rocky ground.

  "They should be around the bend to the left, about twenty zhang away... twenty-five zhang, thirty zhang, hmm, stopped." Teng Qing Shan got up and quietly moved forward, arriving at the bend, "The bend, perhaps someone is ambushing." His whole body lightly jumped, both hands inserted into the top of the rock wall of the waterway, his hands, legs, and abdomen completely stuck to the cliff, his whole body seeming like a gecko stuck on the top of the rock wall.

  At the top, Tengqing Mountain has a clear and winding cave road.

  Teng Qing Shan overestimated the people of Qing Hu Island. The masters of Qing Hu Island never thought that someone would follow them, nor did they suspect that the one who killed Lian Long was a human being. Therefore, there were no ambushes at the turn.

  Only thirty zhang away...

  The twelve strong men of Qinghu Island were sitting on chairs and resting.

  "Teng Qing Shan sneered, 'You really know how to enjoy yourself.'"

  The people of Qinghu Island had already sent chairs, tables, food and fine wine to the bottom of the Bottomless Pit, so Gu Yong and others didn't need to climb to the top of the pit at all, they could rest well.

  Twelve people on Qinghu Island, no mood for drinking.

  The death of Lian Changlao and the existence of the Golden Dragon Turtle made everyone feel annoyed.

  "Gentlemen, from last night to now, it's almost eight hours. Everyone has been on edge and hasn't had a good rest. Later, we'll go up and first take care of Lian Zhanglao's body, then get some rest, have lunch, and continue entering the lake bottom in the late afternoon."

  "Entering the lake bottom, what's the use of going in? That day, the flood dragon palace gate had a golden dragon turtle." The black-robed strong man said in a low voice.

  "Golden Dragon Turtle! The books record that its power is boundless. With just three casual puffs of air, it can send a strong First Heaven Golden Elixir cultivator flying over twenty yards away. And this is just the power of its mouthfuls of air. If it were to swing one claw over, even a First Heaven Golden Elixir cultivator would undoubtedly perish." An elderly white-haired and white-robed man sighed.

  "The golden dragon turtle is considered one of the strongest defensive monsters among all the demons, even if we were to attack it with all our might, we wouldn't be able to harm it in the slightest."

  Everyone is somewhat disheartened.

  There are void realm existences among humans, and there are also void realm-like existences among demon beasts. Of course, from ancient times to the present, the most powerful demon beast discovered is only comparable to a strong void realm cultivator. There isn't a single demon beast that can reach the level of Yu Huang or Qin Ling Tian Di.

  Another name - Divine Beast!

  People generally show great respect for this level of demon beast and are unwilling to provoke it.

  "Today, that golden dragon turtle is just a reminder to us. It's just spitting out some air for now. But next time... once the golden dragon turtle gets angry, it will likely take action." Yuwen Liu Feng furrowed his brow and said, "Dragon turtles are defensive beasts with strong defenses but slow movement. However, that refers to the tens of meters large, green dragon turtles that resemble small hills! And when a green dragon turtle transforms into a golden dragon turtle, its size shrinks to three or four meters, and its speed will also increase. Perhaps it's not even slower than some beasts that excel at speed."

  Once eliminated the weakness of slow speed.

  The golden dragon turtle is indeed an invincible existence.

  Zhao Dan chuckled and said: "If we really fight each other, it's possible that none of the twelve of us will survive."

  ……

  Heng Qing Shan listened to the anxious and helpless tone of the people on Qing Hu Island, and sneered in his heart: "Even if you spend a lot of effort and get the treasure map, what's the use? Just the golden dragon turtle is enough to make you helpless! Best... let the strong masters of Qing Hu Island come over. Let them compare with the golden dragon turtle!"

  Teng Qing Shan was looking forward to seeing that scene.

  The strong Kyokai and the Golden Dragon Turtle clashed, but it was hard to say who would live or die.

  If a strong man from Qinghu Island dies, Teng Qing Shan will be very happy... However, Qinghu Island is not stupid enough to use its most important pillar as a gamble.

  "Master of the island! Master of the island!"

  Just then, shouts were heard.

  Hong Qingshan immediately turned his head and looked over.

  A figure grabbed the vine and jumped down to the bottom.

  "What's going on, why the rush?" Gu Yong furrowed his brow and said, the other eleven pre-heavenly strong cultivators also looked at this young disciple.

  "This young monk hastily said: 'Early this morning, the people from Qinghu Island rushed to Dayan Mountain on horseback. It is said that today, rumors are circulating that the great army of Qinghu Island is stationed at Dayan Mountain in order to excavate the treasure of Yu Huang!'"

  The Qinghu Island army also brought carrier pigeons.

  However, the major strongholds on Qinghu Island did not have trained pigeons to fly to Dayan Mountain. They could only rely on fast horses to deliver messages. The speed was naturally slower.

  Ji Yuanzong knew it last night, while the army on Qinghu Island only found out this morning. They had to wait until the island master Gu Yong and others came ashore before they could be notified.

  "What!" Gu Yong's face changed greatly.

  "Who said that?" Zhao Danchen, who had always been calm and composed, also glared fiercely and shouted.

  That young monk was startled and said repeatedly: "Now it's being spread all over the world, I'm sure everyone knows about it."

  "Everyone knows..." Gu Yong murmured, and this 'everyone knows' completely shocked him. The other eleven innate experts could no longer calm down.

  ……

  "What's going on in the world? Does everyone know?" Like a gecko stuck to the rocky wall of Mount Tengqin, he too was taken aback by this astonishing news and paused for a moment.
