Chapter 1267: Chapter 1266: Long Hair Fluttering, Half Covering the Eyes

It was when Yusuf Zuck, along with Zhao Qian and Huo Qilin, followed the crowd up Mount Wanbone that others started to arrive at the mountain’s base in succession.

A divine ship coming from the south stopped at the foot of Mount Wanbone, from which many people debarked and quickly made their way up the mountain.

On this ship, there was also a beautiful woman disguised as a man. Her face was white as jade, her skin translucent like water, and she had a particularly attractive small melon-seed-shaped face with long legs and a flawless figure.

Even though she was dressed as a man, anyone could tell at a glance that she was a woman.

However, this woman had an aura of fierce Gang Qi circulating on its own, inhaling and exhaling. Whenever anyone’s Divine Consciousness probed near her, it would be repelled by her Gang Qi, so no one dared to approach her, nor could anyone discern her Cultivation Level.

She stood at the foot of the mountain, eyes slightly closed, her nose twitched, and then she suddenly raised her eyebrows, "It’s really the breath of the Gluttonous Beast, how strange!" Having said that, she too took large strides up the mountain.

...

There was a large collapsed area in the back of Mount Wanbone, which had formed a huge pit. Black Evil Qi swirled within, emitting a foul odor that was also mixed with the scent of blood, and occasionally, one could hear low, wailing sounds.

When Yusuf Zuck, Zhao Qian, and Huo Qilin reached there, the perimeter of that pit was already crowded with people, and Steven Goodman among others stood at the edge, seemingly whispering something.

There were also many who had arrived earlier engaged in heated discussions.

"Kash Barker jumped in yesterday, but he’s dead!"

"What? Kash Barker is dead? He was a Middle Heavenly God!"

"How do you know he’s dead? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yeah, maybe he entered a secret realm or a treasure trove, right?"

Many who heard of Kash Barker’s death were incredulous, so there was a great deal of skepticism.

At that moment, Zhao Qian standing next to Yusuf Zuck said, "Kash Barker, ascended from the Lower Realm, after his thirty-thousand-year servitude ended, he broke through quickly, and in just over a million years, he became a Middle Heavenly God. He declined the recruitment of The Eight Great Families, gaining fame as a lone practitioner fulfilling various tasks for merchants, venturing to The Great Northwest for a piece of spiritual medicine, entering the southeastern marshes for a divine herb, completing countless missions, and exchanging for many resources. Even the higher-ups of The Eight Great Clans asserted that he would surely become a Divine King. He is indeed a role model for many Immortal Citizens who ascended from the Lower Realm."

"If he truly died here, then it’s a case of jealousy from the heavens over a talented individual," sighed Zhao Qian, "It’s also a pity for him."

"He made a Soul Jade Plaque himself before descending and handed it to me. But less than ten breaths after he went down, the plaque broke. What do you all think, is he dead or alive?" The person who mentioned Kash Barker’s death spoke up loudly.

"What? The Soul Jade Plaque is shattered?"

"A Middle Heavenly God, even a Half-step God King is dead?"

"Then who dares to go down? It’s certain death!"

"But some didn’t die!" Suddenly, another voice spoke up from the crowd, "My three companions are still alive. Their Soul Jade Plaques are still with me, see for yourself!" He took out three Jade Slips, on which a faint breath of life lingered. These Lifebound Jade Slips were connected to the soul, and because the world was vast and because some people often traveled far, relatives would use these to know if those who left were dead or alive. If the slip remained intact, the person was alive; if the slip broke, the person was dead.

"When did your three friends go down?"

"What are their Cultivation Levels?"

"Yeah, quickly tell us!"

Including Steven Goodman and the other seven, everyone looked toward the person speaking.

"Two days ago, the day before Kash Barker went down. Their Cultivation Levels are respectively Lower Heavenly God and two Advanced Divine Persons!"

"What? A Middle Heavenly God died, but the Advanced Divine Persons are still alive? The Lower Heavenly God is not dead either!"

"Isn’t that bizarre?"

People could hardly believe it and were unable to guess the specific reasons.

At this moment, one of The Eight Great Families, Savannah Arellano, suddenly said in a deep voice, "Does anyone know how many people have gone down here?"

Yusuf Zuck actually despised Savannah Arellano the most, because this woman had once fought with him head-on, and he had nearly died at her hands. Although she looked pretty, she was extraordinarily ruthless when acting.

"Since the mysterious pit appeared, as far as I know, no fewer than five hundred people have jumped into it," someone replied.

"It’s more than five hundred. There were already about two thousand people who went in before you got here."

"That’s not right, it must be tens of thousands by now. The Evil Qi and the stench of blood here are so thick. These kinds of smells couldn’t accumulate without tens of thousands of people."

"Then does anyone know if there are other survivors below?" Savannah Arellano asked again.

"Yes, my elder brother is alive, he also went down, and his Lifebound Jade Slip is still intact; he’s an Intermediate Divine Person!" A woman in the crowd answered.

"My uncle and aunt are also alive; they are both Advanced Divine Persons!"

"Moreover, my master and several senior brothers are also alive. My master is a Middle Heavenly God, and my senior brothers are either Advanced Divine Persons or Lower Heavenly Gods!" Many people in the crowd began to speak up; since so many had gone down, there surely were survivors.

"Then there’s no problem," Savannah Arellano nodded toward Steven Goodman and the others at this time!

"Heh heh, just a mere Gluttonous Beast. It’s not capable of hurting us, yet this place is strange. Middle Heavenly Gods have died, while Intermediate Divine Persons have not; very peculiar!" Steven Goodman chuckled.

"If you’re afraid, you don’t have to go in!" Savannah Arellano sneered.

"Hmph, such dithering." Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out, and the woman dressed as a man who came up the mountain stepped out from the crowd.

The dithering she referred to were these Eight Major Direct Grandsons of The Eight Great Families.

Just as Steven Goodman, Savannah Arellano, and the others were ready to question the woman with cold glares, she suddenly leaped up and jumped directly over the crowd into the mysterious pit.

That’s right, she actually jumped in, decisively and without hesitation.

"It’s a woman~"

"Whoosh~"

As the cross-dressed woman jumped into the pit, a gust of dark wind rose from within. That wind, as it blew, caused the woman disguised as a man to have her hair come undone.

Previously her hair was tied up, but when the black wind swept through, her bundled hair was blown apart, and then amidst the black flowing locks, everyone saw her clear and exquisitely beautiful face; even some were stunned by the sight.

"What a beautiful woman!"

"She looks so pure!"

"Fresh and refined, a temperament beyond compare!"

"Who is this woman? What is her Cultivation Level?"

"I didn’t see clearly!"

"Let’s go!" Steven Goodman and the others also caught sight of the woman with flowing hair, and even at that moment, Steven Goodman felt as though someone had plucked at his heartstrings, feeling a palpitation!

It was the first time he had seen such a fresh and elegant woman, with an extraordinary temperament.

"Haha, such a beautiful lady, wait for me, sister!" Nolan Berger, one of The Eight Major Direct Grandsons, laughed and then jumped in as well.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go~" The others jumped down one after another.

And at this time, Yusuf Zuck also took a deep breath; just moments ago, he too had seen the woman’s profile. To be honest, when her long hair flew in the wind, half-covering her eyes, that kind of beautiful temperament was incomparable!

"This must be what they call a Goddess, hehe!" Yusuf Zuck chuckled. He didn’t give it further thought; after all, someone else’s beauty had nothing to do with him!
