With a knock on the door, Du Yuan also hurriedly opened the door, and when he saw that it was Shi Xiao, he immediately invited him in.

After some greetings, Shi Xiao also went straight to the point and said, "How long is there to compete in the Empire of the Unknown?"

"If the empire is to compete, there is still half a year to go, what, you have something?" Watatsumoto replied.

Shi Xiao nodded, and then asked, "Have you arranged the personnel for this year's competition?"

"I just wanted to say that the emperor wanted you to help him choose two people a few days ago, what do you think?" said Watatsu Yuan.

"Since that's the case, then I'll let Long Hao and my sister try it, what do you think?" Shi Xiao said.

Du Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you won't show your hands this year?"

Shi Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I still have to give other empires some opportunities, I can't always be like this..."

The two chatted for a while, Shi Xiao saw that it was a little late, so he returned to the sect, since there was still half a year to compete in this empire, Shi Xiao also had to let Long Hao and Xiaolin prepare to prepare, after all, this empire was full of strong people, and they still needed to pay attention to it.

Boundary Continent...

The southern Sparrow Cloud Empire is behind the border mountain in the south is the barren mountain realm, and the border mountain is enough to completely isolate the entire Sparrow Cloud Empire from this barren mountain realm, the mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles, and the fierce beasts and giant beasts in the mountain range have been eyeing the Sparrow Cloud Empire.

However, due to the fact that the army stationed on the frontier of the Bird Cloud Empire was too strong, those fierce beasts could not break through this border mountain at all. The team stationed on the southern border of the Sparrow Cloud Empire was the army that faced the first batch of blood clans, and it was also because of this army that the northwest border of the Sparrow Cloud Empire did not fall so quickly.

There are abundant herbs in the border mountains, and there are also many rare medicines in them, and because of this, countless people die in this border mountain every year.

The entire southern side of the mountain range was shrouded in fog all year round, and there were only some rumors that there were powerful beasts in the barren mountain realm south of the border mountain, but none of them were confirmed.

Since the last time the team stationed in the southern border mountain came out with the news that there was a blood clan in and out of this barren mountain realm, this news also quickly reached the ears of the sect master of the Moon Shadow Mountain Sect, Gardenia was about to send someone to investigate, when he received the news from Yutian, and then went to discuss other matters.

The terrain of the barren mountain realm in the southern part of the border mountain is treacherous, with many cliffs and cliffs, and the fog on the border mountain shrouds the entire barren mountain realm.

Yu Lin and Yu Tian are also well aware of this, so the two people excluded are all cultivators with extremely high cultivation, one is Shi Lan sent by Yu Tian, the sect master of the current domain Gate Mountain Sect, and the other is Yu Lin

The Yi Han sent it.

Shi Lan's current strength is already at the peak of the Half-Saint, and he is about to turn into a Domain Saint.

But no one knows about Yi Han's cultivation, only that he is not very old, with a cold face, and a scar on his brow, which is very small, and he can't see it at all if he doesn't look carefully.

Yi Han often held a long sword in his hand, which was all wrapped in gray cloth, and he could only see a blood-red jade on the hilt of the long sword.

After the two were assembled, Yutian and Juelin personally sent the two to the Water Sect, and Gardenia also sent two cultivators to follow them, although the two sent by Gardenia were beauties, but from the cold breath, it could be seen that the strength of the two was very good.

Yuten, Ryin and Gardenia sent the four of them to the southern border, and after the confirmation of the army, Yutian and the others left the teleportation stone, handed the scroll to the four and left.

The four of them didn't say a word, and directly began to cross the border mountain.

In the first few days, the sun was still shining, but the four of them unconsciously began to blur the sky, and the fog around them was also very thick. And the light has become very weak, and the vision of the four people is not as wide as before.

"This vision is too bad, let's go according to the plan..."Shi Lan said.

The three nodded, and scattered, no one a step away from the other. Shi Lan was in front, with two beautiful female cultivators on the left and right, and Yi Han behind him.

The deeper you go, the thicker the fog becomes.

Airplanes!

Shi Lan urged the domain force, and the spar in his hand suddenly brightened, and the surrounding vision also widened slightly. Shi Lan urged the spar in his hand to front of him, illuminating the way forward. After doing this, the speed of several people also accelerated a lot.

Whew!

Just as the four of them were about to speed up, a gust of wind came to their ears, and the wind passed through the cracks in the cliffs of the Daodao, making a sound like crying, which also made several people have to be vigilant.

It's easy to go up the mountain, but hard to get down. The southern part of this border mountain is only a few cracks and valleys, which is even more difficult, and it took a little more than a day to go up the mountain before. During the descent of the mountain, I also encountered the interference of some fierce beasts, and with this fog, the descent was almost four times as much as the uphill.

After six days of traveling, the surrounding fog began to thin out, and the four of them knew that they had passed the border mountain, and beyond that was the barren mountain.

That ray of sunlight was also the fog that finally penetrated, and the four of them finally saw the sunlight after six days.

After adjusting one person, Shi Lan led the three of them to the barren mountain realm together.

Passing through a ravine, a gust of wind mixed with a large amount of dust came from the surface, and the four of them instinctively covered their eyes.

After the wind and sand passed, the four of them opened their eyes.

Desolation, only these two words can be used to describe what the four of them saw, this land is completely wasteland, there is nothing but loess and dust.

The desolation that could not be seen at a glance also surprised Shi Lan very much, he himself had lived for more than twenty years, and he had never seen such a desolate land. Let's say this is a desert, this ground is all loess, it's not a desert at all, let's say it's a wasteland, this loess has a lot of sand and stones, and it doesn't look like a wasteland.

The four of them covered their faces with gauze and continued their way towards the desolate place.

After traveling for half a day, the four of them finally saw the huge mountain range in front of their eyes, which stretched left and right, and they didn't know where it extended.

The four of them walked towards the mountain range, and suddenly, Yi Han's figure flashed directly in front of Shi Lan, and the gray cloth wrapped sword in his hand instantly fended towards the front.

Rumble!

A huge dark yellow object smashed directly into Yi Han, and the sword in Yi Han's hand trembled violently, directly cutting the object in half and flying behind everyone.

Shi Lan frowned, he didn't pay attention at all, if it weren't for this Yi Han, I'm afraid that this flying disaster could really kill him.

"Thank you, Brother Yi!" Shi Lan said.

Yi Han restored the long sword in his hand to its original appearance, then nodded and walked behind Shi Lan.

The two beauties were taken aback by this sudden object, and immediately raised their vigilance and followed behind Shi Lan.

Shi Lan put an earthy yellow object into the domain force crystal, and then continued to walk forward.

The flying stones and gravel suddenly began to rush towards the four of them, and the frenzied storm mixed with the sand and gravel really made the four of them have no choice but to stop, looking at the mountains not far away, and they can't get close.

"That barren mountain can't be approached, what should I do?" said one of the beautiful female cultivators.

Shi Lan didn't speak, urging the domain force to continue moving forward, but the flying sand was getting bigger and bigger, and the destroying domain force couldn't protect him at all, so he had to return to everyone's side in the end.

"Let's look around, if there is any trace of the blood clan! If something happens, send a signal immediately! When it gets dark, come back here and gather!" Shi Lan said in a low voice. Then a field force accumulated the sand and gravel on the ground, accumulating into a tall and large bag of earth.

A few people nodded, and then dispersed in all directions.

After searching for three or four hours, Shi Lan didn't even see a single grass, except for sand and sand.

The sky gradually darkened, and the four of them gathered, and as expected, there was no gain at all.

Looking at the mountain range not far away, Shi Lan opened the scroll, urging the domain force to open, and the four of them disappeared directly here when they stepped into the void.

As soon as the void was closed, the sandstorm not far away also stopped, Shi Lan seemed to feel something, and subconsciously looked behind him, but the void was already closed, and he couldn't see the outside world.

Rumble!

The surrounding sand began to shake, and when the sandstorm cleared, a huge shadow hit the ground in the night sky, and the sound of heavy breathing seemed to feel something around it.

"Woo... Roar..."
