Originally, according to the order of the Three-Corpse Daoist, all the powerful figures from the Heavenly Corpse Sect and Qitian Sect who appeared within the Seven-Star Killing Formation froze in place.
"Wind and Thunder Saints!"
Just as the Three-Corpse Daoist was about to act, his face suddenly changed when he saw the man in the gray robe and the man in the black robe. He exclaimed in shock.
"So you recognize us. That's good. Since we're here, you might as well activate this Seven-Star Spear-Killing Formation and let us brothers see what lies on the other side of this passage."
The Wind and Thunder Saints spoke in unison. Their auras merged into a single line and surged directly into the formation.
The killing formation was instantly shattered by several layers of defenses.
"You… Your strength is indeed formidable, making this Three-Corpse Daoist feel ashamed—especially because your minds are in complete harmony, achieving a state of doing as you please. With one strike, the power of you two was completely concealed."
The Three-Corpse Daoist was greatly astonished and spoke helplessly.
"Daoist friend Three-Corpses, there's no point in talking too much. Since this treasure land is related to the True Dragon's treasure, our Wind and Thunder Pavilion may have broken some rules by coming here. If you still refuse to let us pass, then we'll force our way in."
The Wind and Thunder Saints spoke again, showing no intention of giving any face.
"You two are going too far, aren't you?" The Three-Corpse Daoist rolled his eyes and suddenly spoke again.
In his mind, he recalled a scene he had just witnessed, and a strange idea suddenly surfaced.
The leading Lady Mei had brought along eighteen experts from the Flamefire Sect and the Phantom Sect, but they had already been slain by Chennan and his junior sister. Now the rest were like a headless snake.
Moreover, the duration of their Body-Burning Technique was nearing its end.
"If Chennan and the others can hold off these two Wind and Thunder Saints, this battle… even if we can't kill the remaining seventeen experts, at least we could drive them out of here."
This thought flashed through the Three-Corpse Daoist's mind, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Chennan's junior sister has a strange mindset, but that sudden burst of power wasn't true strength… I'm probably just daydreaming. Killing Lady Mei already pushed them to their limits—they nearly died. Now…"
The Three-Corpse Daoist shook his head. He was just about to discuss with the Wind and Thunder Saints, proposing to let the two of them enter, but the remaining seventeen experts from the Flamefire Sect and Phantom Sect could not stay.
That way, the spiritual energy in this treasured land would be shared between two experts rather than seventeen—it would obviously be much better.
Just as he was about to speak, Chennan's voice rang out: "Wind and Thunder Saints, the strength of you two seniors is indeed… impressive. However, have you considered something?"
Chennan stepped into the killing formation, a faint smile on his lips.
The Three-Corpse Daoists were all horrified. This brat clearly had no understanding of the depths of the world. If the Wind and Thunder Saints suddenly joined forces against him, no one present would be able to stop them.
If those two struck together, Chennan would likely be reduced to pulp in an instant.
"Oh no, my Heavenly Corpse King…"
The Three-Corpse Daoist sighed inwardly. The Wind and Thunder Saints were indeed formidable. Although they rarely took action, when they did, they were terrifying killers.
"Chennan, shut up! You damn brat…"
The Three-Corpse Daoist cursed loudly.
"A brat at the fifth level of the Supreme Realm—ha! I've never seen one stand so tall and speak so boldly. Kid, say what you want to say."
The Wind and Thunder Saints looked at Chennan with faint smiles, seemingly intrigued.
"I heard that the five major sects' experts are still testing the waters. You probably don't know this, but the True Dragon Secret Realm has already been exposed. Only a few demon clan experts have arrived for now. It won't be long before hundreds of sect experts gather here."
Chennan continued, "Wind and Thunder Pavilion is renowned across the world—powerful even among the five major sects—and famous throughout the Hundred Clans Domain. However, have you two seniors considered the temptation of the True Dragon's treasure?"
The expressions of the Wind and Thunder Saints changed: "What did you say? Is this true?"
"Though the Wind and Thunder Saints may have transcended the sect, if the True Dragon Secret Realm truly turns into a battlefield, a realm of slaughter, it would benefit no one. Don't you think I'm right, seniors?"
The Wind and Thunder Saints frowned deeply. They had clearly caught the implication behind Chennan's words. Once all the experts in the secret realm gathered, their strength might still be impressive, but there would always be someone stronger. In that case, they wouldn't gain any advantage.
Even if they did obtain the True Dragon's treasure, they might be trapped inside and become targets for all.
"Kid, do you have proof of this?" The Wind and Thunder Saints were still reluctant to believe that news of the secret realm had leaked.
"Proof? Besides the five major sects, I, along with these seniors from the Demon Race, have also come here. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence?"
Chennan's expression turned serious, and he revealed the secrets told to him by his royal father about the True Dragon's intentions.
"The Symbol Emperor of the Celestial Race may be shortsighted, but the seniors of the Demon Race have seen other opportunities. Since the True Dragon perished here, there must be more than just a few drops of its blood in this secret realm."
Chennan's gaze burned as he looked at the Wind and Thunder Saints. "When we entered, we went through great efforts to open the entrance and even left behind four clan experts to guard the opening and welcome us back."
Chennan pointed to the Elephant Clan cultivators and Die Wu, saying, "We've been here for quite some time now, along with experts from the Savage Clan of the Desolate Domain and the Sky Fox Clan. I believe the seniors here have heard of them. Whether they come inside or remain guarding the entrance outside, once the news leaks—intentionally or not—many experts will be drawn to this place."
As Chennan spoke, he looked toward the Elephant Clan cultivators with a teasing expression.
When the six Elephant Clan experts saw his gaze, their faces flushed—they, more than anyone, knew their own misdeeds.
Upon hearing this, the Wind and Thunder Saints withdrew their oppressive aura and said, "Young man, your words do carry some weight, but they may not be entirely true. Still, if the five major sects work together, even if a conflict breaks out, there will be casualties. But we don't want to take that risk. Tell us, what should we do next?"
What to do? The Wind and Thunder Saints were clearly stating that they wouldn't let the Three-Corpse Daoist monopolize the True Dragon's treasure.
"That's simple. With both internal and external threats, and such a vast treasure trove in this secret realm, there's no need for me to bring so many people in. We'll leave some behind to deal with the Sky Tiger Clan and Savage Clan experts while the rest of us go inside to search for the treasure."
Chennan said with a smile, though he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The treasure hadn't even appeared yet, and things were already this chaotic. If there really was a True Dragon treasure here, who knows how massive the storm would be?
"Chennan, you…" One of the Elephant Clan experts heard Chennan's words and immediately wanted to curse him. The Wind and Thunder Saints knew this was just a cultivation treasure ground and would definitely agree, but with six Elephant Clan experts, not everyone would get a spot inside—some would surely miss out on this opportunity for nothing.
