The Dark River Pool was three million miles away from the Sealed Sky City . This was an abyss and a killing ground that looked like a gathering of blue and green light .
Although this abyss was described as a pulling force, the area of this abyss actually covered a million square kilometers .
"There is a dark river within this abyss . Besides all sorts of rare fishes, there are also countless strange treasures inside this dark river . Some people earn riches every time the dark river appears . "
"Unfortunately, the time when the dark river appears isn't fixed . The location where it appears isn't certain either . Hunters like us need to be really lucky in order to encounter this abyss . "
Jin Zhan looked at Luo Yunyang and said softly, "However, with benefits comes danger . All else aside, just the various whirlpools in the dark river will kill us if we aren't careful . "
"Of course, most importantly, Mysterious Underworld powerhouses can also appear and pose a considerable threat to us . "
Luo Yunyang nodded his head gently . Although he didn't really approve of this team much, they had one advantage: They were very familiar with the region where the blue and green lights converged .
"The Mysterious Underworld fellows might appear savage, but if you are bold and scrupulous, you basically have nothing to fear if the opponent is of a similar level . "
Jin Zhan's words were clearly addressed at Luo Yunyang . After all, Luo Yunyang was a naive rookie in the eyes of these people .
Luo Yunyang nodded his head in response to Jin Zhan's words .
The other three members of the team were rather cold to Luo Yunyang . Each of them stood quietly at the fringes of the abyss, surveying the surroundings .
"We will wait idly here . Based on our past experiences, a few Mysterious Underworld powerhouses will appear in this abyss each year," Jin Zhan whispered to Luo Yunyang .
Luo Yunyang nodded . He didn't have much interest in hunting down Mysterious Underworld powerhouses for merit points and exchanging treasures for these points .

His body didn't like treasures, as he was at the helm of the Rising Sky Feather Sect . Furthermore, even though he hadn't returned to Hong Meng Sacred Hall, his status hadn't changed .
Thus, Luo Yunyang could also gain considerable benefits through Hong Meng Sacred Hall's means .
Under Jin Zhan's orders, the five of them quickly split the workload . Luo Yunyang simply wasn't interested in any of this . His workload was also the lightest, as Jin Zhan had allocated the simplest job to the rookie .
He was the tail . When the hunt was in progress, his job would be to rush in whenever there was a problem to try and solve it .
Luo Yunyang didn't object to what was probably a dispensable option . His motive for joining this team was to familiarize himself with the surroundings .
Jin Zhan and the others were indeed veteran hunters . In a month, their team had hunted and slain three Mysterious Underworld powerhouses, and their spoils were rather considerable . Luo Yunyang hadn't even needed to make any moves so far .
Although Jin Zhan didn't say anything, the stern middle-aged man often had a look of disapproval on his face whenever he saw Luo Yunyang .
Luo Yunyang didn't care . He was already preparing to leave . Staying in Jin Zhan's team any longer wouldn't be of much help to him .
"Brother Primeval, our loot was not too bad this time . The heads of three first-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerates can be exchanged for quite some resources . "
Jin Zhan glanced at Luo Yunyang and said softly, "We did say that everything would be split equally amongst the team . However, brother, you also know that you haven't contributed at all . If we divided the spoils this way, the others would be unhappy, which would be a problem for our future cooperation . "
"Therefore, I think that you should be more generous and take a little less than the regular allotment . This way, we will have a longer and more prosperous working partnership . "
Luo Yunyang simply didn't care about all these merits . However, upon hearing Jin Zhan's concerned tone, he smirked .
"I don't accept," he said icily .

Jin Zhan's smile froze . He had originally thought that Luo Yunyang wasn't too bad and had said all this in hopes of continuing this partnership .
Although he was the team leader, he still couldn't resolve all the issues of the team with just words . Many times, everyone needed to negotiate .
Jin Zhan already knew that their three comrades intended to replace Luo Yunyang . This was the reason he had expressed his opinion . He had never expected that Luo Yunyang would actually say such things .
Although he was really displeased with what Luo Yunyang had said, Jin Zhan mulled this over for a moment before relenting . "Brother Primeval, in that case, we can only go ahead with the stipulated arrangement . However, merely watching won't provide you with many benefits in the future . "
Luo Yunyang no longer had any intention of staying in this team . Therefore, he put on an unyielding front . "I just want to claim what rightfully belongs to me . "
Jin Zhan shook his head and left . The exchange between them had caught the attention of the other three, and the stern-looking man was now glaring angrily at Luo Yunyang .
Clearly, he wasn't very happy with Luo Yunyang's display of greed .
"Boss Jin has really chosen the wrong person this time . " The beautiful lady was exasperated .
"He really can't differentiate between good and bad . Looks like we ought to find a replacement when we get back," the stern-looking man said .
Jin Zhan didn't say anything . Although he was still willing to work with Luo Yunyang, Luo Yunyang's choice had made him very unhappy .
As they were speaking, a faint flash of killing intent flickered across Luo Yunyang's eyes . When this killing intent appeared, a voice said, "You guys won't be going back . "
Although Luo Yunyang and the others could understand what these words were implying, this voice didn't belong to a human .
Jin Zhan and the other martialists all had ugly expressions on their faces .
They had suddenly seen a tall, black Mysterious Underworld Being oozing a powerful aura . Based on this aura, the cultivation base of this Mysterious Underworld Being had to be at least at the fifth-level Heavenly Venerate .
Fifth-Level Heavenly Venerate, One Thought One Realm .
Although Jin Zhan and the others had a tacit understanding when cooperating and claimed that they had a combat ability equivalent to a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate, a vast gulf still existed .
"Damn, I have already waited a long time for you . Today shall be the day you all die . " The large Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate moved his arms and a surging black blaze formed many black lotus flowers that floated over in Luo Yunyang's direction .
Every single one of these black lotus flowers contained a realm .
As the black lotuses descended, the stern-looking man soared into the sky . He wanted to avoid being trapped in these black lotuses as soon as possible .
This was already a life-and-death situation . Although they were all in a team, each of them could only rely on themselves to stay alive .
After all, a fifth-level Heavenly Venerate simply wasn't someone they could deal with .
However, despite escaping for many miles, he suddenly discovered that his body was already in a black lotus flower . The thousands of miles he had escaped to hadn't changed the reality within the black lotus flower .
The stern-looking man couldn't help being scared witless when he was caught in this situation . Although his comrades all unleashed their strongest techniques, unfortunately, they were still caught up in the realms formed by the black lotus flowers .
When the black lotus flowers they were in shattered, death would await them .
The only one amongst those five that didn't move was Luo Yunyang .
Luo Yunyang watched the black lotus flowers enveloping him calmly . As the lotus was about to shatter, he suddenly drew his sword .
Blood-red sword-light sliced through the air . This sword strike didn't produce a very long sword gleam or a furious killing intent . However, it cut through the bindings of the black lotus flower and cut at the fifth-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate .
The sword swept past the fifth-level Mysterious Underworld Heavenly Venerate, cutting him in two .
His soul and everything else were severed in half with that one slash .
Beads of cold sweat broke on the foreheads of Jin Zhan and the others as they watched Luo Yunyang slowly sheathe his sword . Only now did they become aware of how powerful their team member actually was .
If such a person joined their team, the team's fighting ability would be at least ten times stronger .
"Sir…" Jin Zhan looked at Luo Yunyang fearfully .
Luo Yunyang didn't have a favorable opinion of Jin Zhan and the others, yet he had no intention of killing them either . He calmly met Jin Zhan's gaze . "What's the matter?"
"That… We failed to recognize a formidable person . We really…"
Luo Yunyang didn't let Jin Zhan finish . "Alright, what you failed to see is none of my business . "
"Now, you can continue dealing with your own affairs . You don't have to worry about me . " Luo Yunyang paid no attention to Jin Zhan and the others as he started strolling deeper into the abyss .
"We shall part here . "
Jin Zhan and the others couldn't help but shudder as they heard his indifferent voice . They all knew that although they had fatefully crossed paths with this powerful being named Primeval, their days together had come to an end .
The stern man's head was dripping with perspiration . Although Luo Yunyang didn't look at him, he still felt as if there was a sharp sword pressed against his back .
Fortunately, this person hadn't pointed out his faults .
"In the future, no one is to randomly mention this great person . Got it?" Jin Zhan met the gaze of the stern-looking man before instructing the team .
"If we offend this great person, our lives…" Jin Zhan trailed off gloomily . The rest of the team members felt themselves shiver .
