In the evening of the same day, the Cerberus headquarters sent an order to all branches in the southeast to stop all mission receptions within three days, abandon all ongoing missions, and all killers with four-star or above coats of arms return to the headquarters to be on standby.
Accompanied by Golden Lion, Liuli, Xuanyuan Dragon Carp, and King Ma Yama, Tang Yan secretly left the Mist of Illusion. He wanted to use Chocolate, but Chocolate had disappeared into the void a day ago and completely closed the Death Gate.
Niya and Nalantu stayed behind as the key to connect Cerberus and Eternal Beast Mountain, in case special circumstances occurred and the two parties were unable to coordinate their actions.
Going all the way south, Tang Yan's purpose was to visit the Dongyi barbarians located deep in the Gonggu Mountains!
Tang Yan must form a strong ally before complete chaos breaks out in the southeast. One more ally means one less enemy, which is very important.
According to Nangong Yu's introduction, the only forces that can play a role and are worth making friends with are the Han Jue Valley, the Dongyi Barbarians, and the Mulingguan Fortress Group.
Hanjuegu's behavior style is quick and low-key, focusing on self-preservation and survival. They rarely interfere with special events that occur in the outside world, let alone actively participate in wars. In the entire southeastern region, Hanjuegu is definitely considered a leader.
Alternative.
Therefore, without special conditions, it would be difficult to convince them to ally with Cerberus, an organization they consider evil and cold.
The Mulengguan Fortress Group and Cerberus are mortal enemies, and they will not accept an alliance.
In the southeast, only the Dongyi barbarians are left. This is an extremely aggressive race, a savage and bloody ethnic group, and its leader Yao Ye is an extremely ambitious type.
Strong and passionate, ambitious and courageous, he fully meets Tang Yan's requirements.
The important thing is that the Yaoye clan leader has dealt with Tang Yan and has some moderate friendship.
No matter whether he succeeds or not in the end, Tang Yan will have to work hard for it.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed, you can find another next-level force.
Once successful, the overall situation in the Southeast will be smooth and a strong boost will be added.
The third day after the arrival of the Beast Mountain.
More and more people were alarmed and gathered here. The total number has reached more than 100,000 people. They were floating in the sky in different directions, looking at the magnificent and huge ancient continent from a distance.
About 30% of them come from the central and southern forces, about 70% belong to the southeastern mainland, and a small part come from surrounding areas.
At this moment, the news of "the arrival of the ancient continent from the void" has swept through most of the south-central and southeastern regions in a torrent, and has a strong tendency to spread to more distant areas.
The fifth day when the Beast Mountain descends.
There was a semi-sacred monster that rushed into the sky 10,000 meters high. It couldn't hold it back any longer and had the courage to be the first to take the risk.
Looking down from the sky above Beast Mountain, you can't see anything but white mist and glow, let alone observe the specific conditions inside.
But now that he had already set off, and under the spotlight of everyone, this semi-sacred monster did not hesitate and plunged headlong into the mist.
Then, a scream echoed high in the sky, and it was rebounded hard.
The head was bruised and bloody, as if it had been hit by some black iron steel armor.
The crowd was commotion and noisy.
But its actions successfully aroused the desire of others to test it.
That afternoon, more and more people rushed to an altitude of 10,000 meters or approached the edge of Beast Mountain, trying to break into this ancient land through different means and methods.
But without exception, they all ended in failure.
Beast Mountain remained silent and did not make any response. Only the protective barrier firmly guarded every inch of the land, and no one or beast could break into it.
Cerberus also maintained restraint, condensing its strength as much as possible, but silently paying attention to the situation, ready to take action at any time.
The atmosphere outside is getting heated, and the atmosphere in Cerberus is getting tense.
The eighth day when the Beast Mountain descends.
A saint appeared with a high profile and descended over the beast mountain.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became heated, and all the hidden forces rose to the sky, paying attention to the situation with glaring eyes.
Then, the Saint used his giant fist to bombard the Beast Mountain Barrier. The deafening roar shook the sky, causing the Beast Mountain Barrier to tremble continuously, and the white mist clouds in the sky quickly thinned.
This incident gave everyone hope. Thousands of people were eager to "explore the ancient continent" and "compete for ancient secret treasures."
But when the saint swung his fist again, the divine radiance of the barrier suddenly blazed brightly, guarding the beast mountain smoothly and steadily. Despite its full force bombardment with the second fist, the beast mountain responded with a violent roar, and nothing else happened.
touch.
The saint kept working hard and swiping the secret treasure, but he couldn't tear any gaps.
The tenth day when the Beast Mountain comes.
At the suggestion of this saint, a total of six half-saints and more than ten venerables united, and under his leadership, they jointly bombarded the Beast Mountain barrier.
However, after some hard work, the barrier remained stable as usual.
This scene made everyone re-examine the solidity of the 'ancient continent'.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, it rushed out of the void and experienced "countless years of destruction." If the barrier was not strong, it would have been dismembered in the void.
On the twelfth day of the arrival of Beast Mountain, more and more powerful people and forces came after hearing the news.
The second saint appeared, and the third saint appeared.
All the powerful men were summoned. They rushed to an altitude of 10,000 meters and gathered in the same area as the first saint's group. After some discussion, the three parties prepared to join forces to launch an offensive.
After twelve days of cultivation, most of the energy of Immortal Phoenix and others had been restored, and the spiritual power in the meridians had been restored by 30 to 40%, but they still lacked the strength to fight.
They either don't fight, or they go all out, or else they show signs of weakness, which can easily lead to serious consequences.
Therefore, Immortal Phoenix and others just paid attention to the external situation for a while, continued to retreat, and continued to control the protective barrier.
"Tang Yan has almost arrived at the Dongyi Barbarian Tribe, but I don't know if that monster Yaoye will agree to form an alliance. If you want to impress him... it's difficult..."
"There is only one thing Tang Yan can take advantage of - Yaoye's ambition!"
"The Saint took action earlier than we expected. We don't know if Beast Mountain can withstand the joint bombardment of the three Saints."
"Should we help?"
"Wait a little longer, send the order down, and be prepared. Once the barrier of Beast Mountain is broken, all Cerberus high-level officials will take action."
On this day, the "Cangwu Abyss" far away from the southeast and close to the central area of the Forsaken War Realm received the news, which caused a sensation in the abyss, a sensation among various tribes, and awakened ancient corpses that had been sleeping for thousands of years.
Waves of death energy rushed out and gathered in the ancient and yellow deep hall.
A spy knelt on his knees in front of the palace, and his voice was loud and high-pitched, spreading to all directions in the palace: "An ancient continent rushed out of the void, with an extremely huge area, extending for more than a thousand kilometers in all directions, shrouded in rays of light above, and isolated by mist in the middle.
It is difficult to discern the true situation inside, and it is suspected to be a protective barrier.
The ancient continent appeared over the Jingjue Mountains in the south-central part, moved all the way eastward, entered the southeastern boundary, and then turned northward and stayed above the Illusion Mist. This place is the headquarters of Cerberus, a killer organization in the southeast.
Currently, the central-southern and southeastern borders are both disturbed, and the total number of humans and demons who have gone to investigate has exceeded one hundred thousand, and there is a trend of increasing."
"Why are you staying in the Mist of Illusion?" A cold, dry voice came from the depths of the dark palace, containing terrifying power.
"Every party is confused, but the ancient continent has been silent without any abnormalities. Its movement does not seem to be floating randomly, but deliberately."
"How did the bastards in the Illusion Mist react?" Another voice came from a different direction, colder, more severe, and full of violence.
"Cerberus issued a summons to all branches on the same day and was on alert thereafter. It is reasonable and intended to be vigilant. No special behavior can be seen."
"How many saints gathered in the ancient continent?"
"According to investigation, there are three people who have appeared and at least three who are hiding in the dark."
"What action?"
"One person has already taken action, and the other two have made preparations. However, the ancient continent's protective barrier is extremely solid and may be difficult to break."
"The third son, Han Huang, has not returned yet, and there is no trace of him. Has Tang Yan, the one I asked you to search for, gone back?"
"I've been keeping an eye on Cerberus, but there's no news yet."
"Where's the Sky-Swallowing Bird?"
"Monster hunters have been sent out, but so far no trace of the Sky-Swallowing Bird has been found."
"The sudden arrival of the ancient continent is of extraordinary significance. Staying in the mist is no accident. It must have special significance. There is still no news about Hanhuang's disappearance, and it is related to the Cerberus."
"I propose a thorough investigation of Cerberus and the ancient continent."
"I will jointly submit a petition to our emperor."
"Second the proposal! Please ask my emperor to conduct a thorough investigation of the Cerberus and the ancient continent."
