"Xiao Fan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get up!" Shen Yuqing urged.
Lin Fan frowned and said nothing.
Liu Muxi walked over. "Did you also find something amiss?"
Lin Fan nodded. "This seven-colored radiance is probably not a good omen, but a fatal sign of danger."
"I have that feeling too," Liu Muxi agreed.
The two exchanged glances and simultaneously looked at the woman in white.
She also looked in their direction. Their gazes met, but neither of them said anything.
"She found it too?" Liu Muxi whispered.
"Likely," Lin Fan replied uncertainly.
The woman in white slowly stood up and walked towards them.
"Let's go, let's go and see."
Lin Fan also stood up, leading the three girls at the back.
The seven-colored radiance was too far away, and he could only sense a trace of an ominous aura.
As for what it was specifically, he would only know once they got closer.
Many people took out their phones, capturing the supernatural phenomenon on Spiritual Mountain and posting it online.
Soon, public opinion surged, and some even started live broadcasts.
"We are currently at the base of Spiritual Mountain. The seven-colored radiance is at the peak. If we really want to walk there, it will definitely be dark."
Someone reminded everyone to conserve their energy and food.
They had already walked for five hours, yet the seven-colored radiance seemed to be moving, maintaining the same distance from them.
Visually, there was no change at all.
The setting sun was like blood, and the sun gradually set in the west.
The entire Spiritual Mountain was enveloped in fiery red sunlight, resembling a phoenix reborn from flames, full of mystery.
"Comrades, hold on! Victory is just around the corner!"
Someone spoke out to encourage everyone.
Another three hours passed.
The sun set, and the half-moon rose.
Darkness enveloped the land.
The light of the seven-colored radiance became even more dazzling in the vast night.
Lin Fan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
The closer they got, the more uneasy he felt.
"Look, we've reached the edge of the seven-colored radiance!"
Someone at the front shouted, their voice full of excitement.
Everyone quickened their pace to follow.
It was a flat clearing, and the seven-colored radiance acted like a barrier, separating them from the inside.
"It's so cold!"
Everyone hugged their arms.
The temperature here was at least ten degrees lower than in the previous location.
The man at the front, Zhou Mo, said, "No need to be alarmed. The temperature at night is definitely lower than during the day."
He turned around to face everyone. "I'll go in first and scout the way for you!"
With that, he turned to move forward.
"Don't move!"
Lin Fan hurriedly stopped him.
As soon as he arrived, he understood.
This was the same malevolent energy as in Liu Qinghui's body!
However, this malevolent energy was on a massive scale and extremely potent.
The seven-colored radiance was merely an illusion created by the malevolent energy, attracting living beings to come and then devouring them.
Lin Fan activated his Purple Extreme Spirit Eyes and saw through the illusion at a glance.
Behind this illusion lay a large open space, where streams of black malevolent energy roamed back and forth, searching for targets to attack.
As long as a living being entered, they would be instantly devoured by this malevolent energy!
"Kid, are you sick? Yelling like that, you startled me."
Zhou Mo, with his broad back and strong physique, a height of 1.9 meters, approached Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's expression was serious. "This place is dangerous. I advise you to quickly descend the mountain."
Zhou Mo burst into laughter. "If you're afraid of death, why come out for an adventure? Go home and drink milk!"
His words drew ridicule from many.
"Young Master Zhou, don't mind this coward. We'll go with you."
Two young girls walked over, leaning on him on either side.
These two girls were dressed provocatively and looked almost identical, clearly a pair of twins.
Zhou Mo, with a girl in each arm, looked at Liu Muxi and Shen Yuqing. "Two beauties, a coward like this doesn't deserve you. Why don't you come with me?"
Liu Muxi's expression was cold, and she didn't even look at him.
Shen Yuqing rolled her eyes. "If you want to go to your death, go by yourself. Don't drag us down with you."
She had witnessed Lin Fan's abilities. Since Lin Fan said there was a problem, then there was definitely a problem.
"Ungrateful!"
Zhou Mo snorted coldly, cast a provocative glance at Lin Fan, and then, embracing the twin beauties, strode inside.
Seven or eight people followed.
The remaining people sat on the ground, each with their own thoughts, not daring to act rashly.
Lin Fan shook his head and sighed. "What a shame, such beautiful twins!"
*Slap!*
Shen Yuqing smacked him on the head. "So many people are going in, and you only feel sorry for the twins. Calling you a pervert isn't wrong at all!"
Lin Fan spread his hands. "I've already advised them. What can I do if they don't believe me?"
"I don't know them at all. Forcibly stopping them would only annoy them. They might even think there's treasure inside and that I want to hog it."
"In short, I can't stop them. Let's just wait and see."
Shen Yuqing was left speechless by his retort.
Yes, he had already advised them.
And the result?
Not only did these people not listen, but they also mocked him.
Even if he forcibly stopped them, they wouldn't appreciate it and would instead have wild thoughts.
"Tell me honestly, what exactly is inside?" Shen Yuqing asked mysteriously.
The others also pricked up their ears to listen.
Those who didn't rush in were relatively intelligent.
Although they were half-believing Lin Fan's words, they didn't dare to risk their lives.
The woman in white also looked in their direction, her face still expressionless.
Lin Fan did not hide anything and told the truth. "The seven-colored radiance is just an illusion. In reality, it is filled with malevolent energy."
"Malevolent energy?!"
Liu Muxi exclaimed. "Could this be my grandfather's battlefield from back then?!"
Lin Fan nodded solemnly.
Initially, he thought the battlefield should be at the foot of the mountain near the border.
He never expected it to be at the summit.
Even from the periphery, he could sense how terrifying the internal malevolent energy was.
One could imagine how tragic the war was back then.
Such potent malevolent energy might require a cultivator of the Void Realm to purify.
"No wonder..." Liu Muxi's face changed slightly.
Shen Yuqing did not know these secrets, but as soon as she heard that this place was a battlefield, her hair stood on end, and a chill ran down her spine.
"You say it's a battlefield, and it's a battlefield. Why should we believe you?" someone questioned.
Five minutes had passed since Zhou Mo and the others left.
No sound came from inside.
The seven-colored radiance completely blocked their view, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
Someone became impatient. "I'm going in to take a look. If there's any treasure inside, won't they get it all?"
Lin Fan glanced at him and said coldly, "Didn't you say you were here for an adventure? Why are you suddenly after treasure now? Hypocritical!"
"You..."
This person wanted to lash out.
Peng Fei quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Everyone, please be patient. I think Brother Xiao Fan's words have merit. We don't know the situation inside yet. Let's wait for them to come out and ask first."
"Hmph!"
This person did not listen to the advice. "I'm going in. Is anyone joining me?"
No one responded.
This person was unwilling and said again, "Don't blame me for not warning you. I've read many ancient books these past few days, and all signs indicate that immortals once resided on Spiritual Mountain!"
"The seven-colored radiance is very likely a treasure left by this immortal. If you're too late, it'll be gone!"
Hearing about treasure, everyone became restless.
Those who could come here were either cultivators themselves.
Or they had some knowledge of cultivation and believed in the existence of immortals.
They all wished to find great fortune to change their ordinary lives.
