Chapter 461: Seeking Wealth and Danger!
"There are too many demon beasts, we can't stop them!"
"We are no match for the demon beasts of Demonic Spirit Realm level!"
"..."
Someone spoke to the group of young men and women standing at the forefront, many of whom possessed exceptional temperament and uncommon aura. Their eyes were full of hope and expectation, as though they had found a savior.
"This is very abnormal, something must have happened!"
A young man spoke, his gaze sharp and his clothes stirring slightly.
...
At night, the atmosphere is quiet.
Many figures appear listless, with dimmed eyes in the darkness of the night.
A young man, around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with an inner disciple emblem on his body, had a pale complexion. He showed a reverent and respectful attitude in front of another youth who seemed to be of a similar age.
He is Futeng Guang, who has been in seclusion for meditation and cultivate.
With his current cultivation, he is comparable to some direct disciples. He thought that his outstanding performance in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords would be enough for him to become a direct disciple.
Who knew that upon entering the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, they would encounter hordes of unstoppable demon beasts.
If he hadn't been quick to hand over the space bag, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Senior brother, that's how things happened. Everywhere, demon beasts were robbing space bags, and we were no match for them," Futeng Guang respectfully said to the young man in front of him.
On the fair and indifferent face of the young man in the dim moonlight, the faint glow of his eyes and the darkness of his long eyelashes cast a thick shadow below his eyes, giving him a delicate and feminine appearance. Despite the solemn waves in his bright black eyes, he didn't even look at Futeng Guang as he calmly and indifferently spoke, 'They only target the space bags without deliberately killing anyone. It seems that either the sect intentionally arranged this to increase the difficulty of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, or there are capable people secretly involved. Either way, it seems that this year's Grand Swordsmanship Competition will be different from the past.'
As the words fell, the man's lips below his straight nose turned crimson, and his tall and slender figure was accentuated by his white clothes. Though he appeared slim, he was far from fragile. His black eyes gazed calmly at the stars twinkling in the night sky.
Futeng Guang secretly looked up and glanced at the young man in front of him, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.
"Just say what you want to say. After all, you are my cousin. After this trip, you should be able to become a direct disciple of the Fifteenth Sword Peak. There's no need for reservation," said the young man in white, as if he could read everything from Futeng Guang's face.
"Senior brother, Su Yi also entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords."
Upon hearing this, Futeng Guang's courage grew significantly. He immediately looked at the young man in white and said, "However, we haven't received any news about that kid. But since he entered, he has offended many people and even snatched some inner disciples' space bags."
"Su Yi... He's the one who crippled Teng Ming and severely injured Ba Yi and others, right?"
The young man in white said lightly, "There won't be no one at the Fifteenth Sword Peak. If there's a chance, let's meet there."
...
In the early morning, the dawn illuminated and the mist was hazy.
"Phew..."
A breath of stale air spewed out of Su Yi's mouth, causing his robe to flutter. His breathing was vigorous and strong, and his face regained its healthy redness.
Feeling everything inside his body, Su Yi smiled contentedly.
The flesh of the demon beast of the Demonic Spirit Realm level is indeed of great benefit. Over the course of the night, Su Yi not only recovered his energy expenditure, but his vitality also noticeably increased.
Situ Muyang, Xu Jiahui, and Zhang Qing also woke up. After retracting their hand seals and opening their eyes, it was evident from the smiles on their faces that all three of them had gained a lot from the experience.
Liu Ji, Wang Fan, and Qing Chao, on the other hand, were still shrouded in light, with fluctuations of energy from the surroundings emanating from them.
"These three guys, are they preparing for a breakthrough...?"
Su Yi stood up and looked at the three from afar. Judging from the commotion, it appeared that Liu Ji and the others were all in the midst of a breakthrough, having derived benefits from the flesh of the demon beast. It was highly likely that they were going to step into the Yuan Xuan Realm.
Breakthroughs are unpredictable, with varying lengths of time. It's hard to say when a real breakthrough will occur.
Su Yi didn't want to linger in this place. This was the lair of the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, which guarded the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree. The direct disciples should have already entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords and it was likely that people from other places would also come looking for the Dark Spirit Fruits. It wouldn't be wise to stay here for too long.
However, under these circumstances, with Liu Ji and the others in the midst of a breakthrough, any disturbance could derail their progress. At best, it would set them back, and at worst, it could lead them down a dangerous path.
Fortunately, the three of them all had breakthroughs in quick succession. Three new auras emerged, and Liu Ji and the others stepped into the Yuan Xuan Realm.
The breakthroughs of the three individuals were swift, and they derived great benefits from the flesh of the demon beast.
For them, who were at the Yuan Soul Realm cultivation level, consuming so much flesh from Demonic Spirit Realm level five demon beasts was a great nourishment.
Of course, the most important thing was the benefit that Liu Ji and the others gained from the Spiritual Essence from Su Yi's mysterious space. The flesh of the demon beasts was only a catalyst.
The three of them broke through and stepped into the Yuan Xuan Realm, brimming with joy. They stood up and bowed to Su Yi, tears welling up in their eyes.
All three of them knew very well that, were it not for Su Yi, they would never have had such an opportunity. They had entered the coveted Yuan Xuan Realm with ease, without having to exert any effort whatsoever.
"No need to be polite, we should set off now."
Su Yi smiled faintly, also happy for Liu Ji and the others. On the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, they had also received care from Liu Ji and the others. It was a pity that there were a dozen or so outer disciples on the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, and a few had been missing and not encountered.
Situ Muyang watched from the side, his eyes flickering. He could see that Su Yi had always been taking care of Liu Ji, Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui, and the others.
That ferocious guy may be harsh to others, but when it comes to treating his own, he is generous and protective.
"We'd better leave here early."
Later, Su Yi, Situ Muyang, Xu Jiahui, and others said that it was not suitable to stay here for long.
"Those direct disciples should be on their way to search for the Dark Spirit Fruits."
Situ Muyang said and couldn't help but give Su Yi a disdainful look. So many Dark Spirit Fruits on a single tree. They were all plucked out by Su Yi now. It was likely that when those direct disciples arrived, they would fall apart one by one.
"Where are we going?" Zhang Qing asked.
"There is a place to go."
With a mysterious smile, Su Yi then commanded the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats to gather all the Wolf-headed Demon Bats and leave for a while, finding a place to temporarily stay for ten to fifteen days. They would come back once the direct disciples who were searching for the Dark Spirit Fruits had left.
"This is not difficult."
The Wolf-headed Demon Bat replied in its own language that as long as there was a cave, it could temporarily settle in it.
After a moment, the pack of Wolf-headed Demon Bats spread their wings and left in a grand and majestic manner.
"Let's set off too!"
With a smile in his eyes, Su Yi watched as the grand pack of Wolf-headed Demon Bats departed. He turned to Situ Muyang, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and others standing by his side and said:
