When the figure in a golden robe appeared and slowly approached Qin An, Qin An immediately sensed something unusual.

He saw that the thick aura of sadness around him, as dense as ink, became even denser at the instant the figure appeared.

Moreover, these sad emotions seemed to have found an outlet and surged towards the figure in the golden robe.

They encircled the figure as if surrounding a king, enveloping every inch of space around it.

At this moment, Qin An’s gaze narrowed slightly.

As the figure in the golden robe slowly approached, he also saw the true face of the other party.

A tall man wearing a golden robe, with dark patterns flowing on it. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The man’s facial features were extremely handsome, and he wore a golden hat on his head.

Upon closer look, one would find that there was a faint Evil Qi circulating around the man’s body.

Qin An immediately understood the identity of the other party—a Pseudo-God.

He gripped the Cold Star at his waist, ready to draw it at any moment.

But the other party seemed to have seen through Qin An’s intentions, gently shook his head, and slowly said.

"Little friend, no need to be so tense. Being in this Heroic Spirit’s place, how could I be a bad person? I am the Pseudo-God formed by these sad auras, the guardian of this burial ground, the companion of these great Heroic Spirits."

Qin An heard this but did not let go, instead slowly said, "What is your purpose for appearing before me?"

"Just wanted to see you, that’s all." The other party said lightly, "Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Profound Celestial, a name I gave myself. It’s not very nice, but I like it."

"Why do you want to see me?" Qin An asked again.

Profound Celestial paused briefly before saying, "The existence in Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak is extremely powerful among the Defenders, you carry his aura and have gained his recognition, so you are one of us."

"Coming over to meet one of our own is naturally normal."

"Who are you exactly?" Qin An asked once more.

This time, the Pseudo-God named Profound Celestial brought up the person in Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak again, amplifying Qin An’s heart of doubt.

He became deeply interested in the Defenders and Betrayers, including the world itself.

Now that Profound Celestial appeared, he naturally had to ask questions.

If he could find out the specific reasons, it might be a significant gain for him.

Profound Celestial heard this, revealed a slight smile, then said, "Knowing who we are isn’t very important. In fact, since the great one in Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak hasn’t told you yet, it means you shouldn’t know these things for now. Knowing them could be disadvantageous to you."

"When you have the corresponding strength, go to Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak to meet the great one, and he will naturally tell you."

Qin An rubbed his chin, "Are you really just here to meet me?"

Profound Celestial nodded slightly, "I really just wanted to see you, because I’ve stayed here for too long. I’m extremely lonely. It’s incredibly rare for someone to be recognized."

"Little friend, how about I give you a tour around here?"

Qin An shook his head slightly, "I’ve already seen too much. I don’t want to tour here. I want to know more about how to get out of here and what secrets Jinluan Holy Hall holds, including the current situation of my colleagues."

"Their situation isn’t very good, but not too bad either." Profound Celestial waved his sleeve at the side, and a phantom materialized, gradually forming a scene in mid-air.

Numerous Mountain Patrol Commanders, led by over thirty Mountain Patrol Gold Generals, were engaged in a melee with the Demon Pseudo-Gods.

These Mountain Patrol Commanders were separated by the areas of Jinluan Holy Hall.

Each area was experiencing combat.

Profound Celestial said, "Those Demon Pseudo-Gods are doing something crazy. They plan to release some Betrayers from the Forbidden Area, so if you go out from here, make sure you destroy their plan at its source."

"Release the Betrayers?" Qin An frowned, "How do they plan to release them?"

"Speaking of this, we need to talk about Jinluan Holy Hall and the true purpose of this burial ground." Profound Celestial paused briefly, then slowly said, "In fact, Jinluan Holy Hall is the guardian of this burial ground. Those who believe Jinluan Holy Hall holds fortunes are actually taking the fortunes condensed by these Heroic Spirits."

"The reason for releasing the Betrayers is because this place is both a burial ground and the entrance of a prison. Jinluan Holy Hall guards the entrance and exit of the Forbidden Area, and the sad aura from Heroic Spirits prevents those Betrayers from stepping out a bit."

Upon hearing this, Qin An’s mind suddenly echoed loudly.

It was as if he thought of something, connecting all the clues together.

If it were as Profound Celestial said, then everything makes sense.

This is the burial ground of the Defenders, while Jinluan Holy Hall seems to shield the truth with its barrier.

Not only can the burial ground produce infinite fortunes, but it can also restrain the Betrayers from the Forbidden Area from stepping out.

The Cang Yuan Demon Pseudo-Gods, in collaboration with the many Demon Pseudo-Gods of the Celestial Cloud Path, aimed to open a breach in the burial ground.

If they open it, the Betrayers in the Forbidden Area will come out and cause unimaginable impact on the Ancient Battlefield ruins.

"What should I do?" Qin An asked, "I am merely a cultivator in the initial stage of the Element Transformation Realm. How can I turn the tide in this disaster?"
