"Indeed, it's a sanctuary!"
Upon seeing the small wooden cabin, Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, they rushed towards it.
The sky was growing darker, and night was about to engulf the land.
They could clearly feel a mysterious force of rules awakening, as if a shackle was placed upon them.
Whether it was their vitality, true essence, or soul power, under the influence of this force, everything became heavier and more sluggish.
When night fully descended, this force would completely awaken, suppressing their overall strength by thirty percent, while demons and ghosts would be enhanced twofold!
In such a dire situation, if they encountered another wave of ghosts like before, they would surely face a life-or-death struggle!
In just a moment, Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang reached the foot of the mountain.
The small wooden cabin before them wasn't large, but it could barely accommodate four people.
"What peculiar runes, these don't seem to belong to the Cangyuan Realm!"
Examining the mysterious runes engraved on the cabin, Xiao Ming's face showed disbelief.
Even though he had inherited part of the formation legacy from the Elder of Annihilation, he couldn't identify these runes.
Either the Elder of Annihilation had never seen these runes, or the legacy Xiao Ming received was incomplete and didn't include knowledge of these runes.
"Let's go inside first..."
Seeing that he couldn't make sense of it, Xiao Ming immediately suggested to Feng Xianhuang and the others.
These runes contained a mysterious power, seemingly able to naturally counteract negative energy.
If he could comprehend them, it would become a powerful trump card.
However, with the night already upon them, he could only study them in the daylight.
"Hahaha, a sanctuary, indeed there's always a way out! I, Zhang Hao, truly have great fortune!"
Just as Xiao Ming and the others were about to enter the cabin, a loud laugh came from above the cliff, and several figures landed on the other side of the cabin.
It was Zhang Hao, the Holy Son of Fuyou Sacred Land.
The other three were renowned core disciples from the previous generation of Fuyou Sacred Land.

They were Chen Pingzhi, Li Qingyang, and Zhang Tianming, all formidable figures ranked in the top ten of their generation.
"Looks like trouble..."
Hearing the laughter and seeing the group a dozen meters away, Xiao Ming couldn't help but frown.
Even Feng Xianhuang, Su Qingyue, and Yun Ling frowned as well.
"Oh, people?"
"It's you guys!"
As Xiao Ming looked at Zhang Hao and the others, they also noticed him and his group.
Their faces showed a hint of surprise.
"This cabin was found by us first, you should find another sanctuary!"
Without any unnecessary words, Xiao Ming glanced at them and calmly reminded them.
This made Zhang Hao and the others' expressions darken.
"Xiao Ming, Feng Xianhuang, and the Jade Maiden Peak's Yun Ling and Su Qingyue, the rising stars of this generation from Fuyou Sacred Land."
"Facing us, the senior brothers of the previous generation, don't you know how to show some respect?"
After Xiao Ming spoke, Chen Pingzhi glanced at them and replied coldly.
"Respect?"
Xiao Ming sneered at the words.
He looked at Chen Pingzhi with disdain, his voice even colder as it echoed.
"I don't want to waste words with you."
"Considering we're all disciples of Fuyou Sacred Land, I'll let you leave peacefully to find another sanctuary."
"If you insist on causing trouble, don't blame me for disregarding our shared affiliation."
After Xiao Ming finished speaking, Feng Xianhuang didn't say anything but stepped forward to stand beside Xiao Ming, her gaze coldly fixed on the group.
Even Su Qingyue and Yun Ling stepped forward with cold expressions, looking at Chen Pingzhi and the others.
There was only one sanctuary, and if they gave it up, they would have to travel through the night, facing certain death.
In the face of death, everyone is equal, and they weren't saints, so how could they easily give in?
"Hahaha, as expected of a rising young supreme of this generation, your attitude and tone are truly arrogant."
After Xiao Ming finished speaking, Zhang Hao stepped forward.
His aura became increasingly dangerous, and his gaze fell on Su Qingyue.
"Junior Sister Qingyue, I've been devoted to you, yet you always ignore me, preferring a scoundrel who kisses other women in front of you."
"I really don't know what you see in him that makes you so infatuated, even willing to degrade yourself..."
"None of your business!"
"What right do you have to speak about Brother Xiao Ming?"
Before Zhang Hao could finish, Su Qingyue angrily interrupted him.
She could tolerate Zhang Hao belittling her, but she wouldn't allow him to insult Xiao Ming.
"Hahaha, fine, fine!"
"I have no right!!"
Hearing Su Qingyue's harsh words, Zhang Hao seemed provoked, and his cultivation and vitality erupted at that moment.
He became like a blazing sun, exuding a terrifying heat.
"I intended to give you a chance to join me in seeking the seven-color fiendish energy, but since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Kill them!"
"Leave Su Qingyue for me, the other two are yours."
As his words fell, the terrifying vitality behind Zhang Hao transformed into a sea of energy, and a golden crow shadow descended like a blazing sun.
With a punch, he aimed to crush Xiao Ming.
The momentum...
Even though Zhang Hao had suppressed his cultivation to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea, it was enough to terrify most Cave Heaven-level experts.
"Courting death!"
Hearing Zhang Hao's audacious words and seeing him dare to strike first, Xiao Ming snorted coldly, unleashing his cultivation. His vitality combined with Chaos True Fire, transforming into a fiery dragon, and with a punch, he fiercely attacked Zhang Hao.
Boom!!
With the collision of the fiery dragon and the golden crow shadow, a terrifying impact exploded like a tsunami.
Zhang Hao was blasted away, his right arm exploding like a watermelon.
This left Chen Pingzhi and the others dumbfounded.
As strong as Zhang Hao was...
He couldn't withstand even a single move from Xiao Ming, losing an arm in just one exchange.
Was Xiao Ming truly this terrifying?!
"No... impossible!!"
Seeing his right arm explode, a wave of excruciating pain surged from his shoulder, and Zhang Hao screamed with a twisted expression.
He couldn't believe it.
He possessed the Sun Saint Body and cultivated a Saint King-level technique, being the most monstrous figure of the previous generation in Fuyou Sacred Land, yet he was so fragile before Xiao Ming.
"I intended to spare your lives, but now you'll all be sacrificed to the Human Emperor Sword!"
With a cold gaze sweeping over them, Xiao Ming summoned a sinister long sword from his dantian, exuding a dark aura.
It was the Soul Devouring Sword!
However, Xiao Ming thought the name Soul Devouring Sword wasn't impressive, preferring to call it the Human Emperor Sword for more grandeur.
As for the dark aura...
It was clearly the dense primordial purple energy, not some evil demonic aura, just a bit too dark.
As the thought settled, Xiao Ming's terrifying vitality, Chaos True Fire, and soul power all poured into the Human Emperor Sword.
The Human Emperor Sword erupted with a terrifying wave of sword energy, transforming into a ferocious dragon of demonic energy, charging invincibly towards Zhang Hao and the others.
