Chapter 36 Danger is Coming

Linfeng Lake, above the center of the lake.

When Qu Shao and Zhang Cheng arrived at Linfeng Lake with eight Yunxia Sect disciples, they saw nothing but a lake of clear water.

Zhang Cheng asked, "Are you sure the fight took place here?"

Qu Shaodao said, "This is the right place. The young sect leader fell from this spot back then."

Zhang Cheng: "Where are the bodies of Zhou He and Zhou Tan?"

Qu Shao: "I'll take the young sect leader's body back to the sect first, in Senior Brother Yu's storage ring. Senior Brother Yu plans to return the bodies of the two Zhou senior brothers after he catches the murderer."

Zhou He and Zhou Tan were brothers who had been under Xue Xiazi's orders to protect Xue Wangu and let him run wild. This time, they both met their end in Shen Yao's hands.

Zhang Cheng looked around the lake: "Let's search along the shore and see if there are any clues."

The search quickly led them to the lakeshore, where they found a headless body and two bodies stacked on top of each other.

There is also a pre-set forbidden zone.

After examining the body's belongings, it was quickly determined that the headless body belonged to Yu Mu.

Zhang Cheng checked Yu Mu's storage space and found that none of the valuables were missing, and the bodies of Zhou He and Zhou Tan were also inside.

After further investigation of the surrounding area, it was almost confirmed that Yu Mu's head had been shattered into pieces, and there were no external injuries on his body. It should have been a single blow that shattered his head and killed him instantly.

Qu Shao quickly confirmed that the two bodies stacked together were Sun Qi and Meng Yuan, and both had a large hole in their chests, which was almost the same size and location.

Zhang Cheng had his junior brothers stand the two corpses upright. Standing in front of them, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine: two low-grade sixth-level cultivators had been pierced through the chest with a single move! What a ruthless method, what a powerful technique!

When I went around to the back of the body, I was even more horrified!

Looking from behind the corpses, the forbidden realm is about ten steps ahead. Carefully examining the traces around the battlefield, it is certain that cultivators were trapped in the forbidden realm when the two sides fought!

There are traces of the same size but in different locations on the ground after circling half of the forbidden area, which can be determined to be caused by the same move.

The three junior brothers must be cultivators trapped in the forbidden realm, and I have been unilaterally beating them for a long time.

As for junior brothers Sun Qi and Meng Yuan, they were killed by one of the cultivators, probably the female cultivator they were trying to capture, by a single blow through the chest from within the forbidden realm!

Then it is very likely that Yu Mu's head was shattered by the female cultivator's technique that penetrated the forbidden realm!

What kind of technique can penetrate the forbidden realm and still be so deadly?

Zhang Cheng had never imagined this, nor had he ever heard of it.

Zhang Cheng's heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to leap out of his throat.

Zhang Cheng quickly checked Sun Qi and Meng Yuan's storage spaces and found that all the valuable items were still there, and even the Ten Perfect Coins hadn't been taken!

"Let's go quickly!" Zhang Cheng hurriedly put the three corpses into Yu Mu's storage ring and frantically called to his fellow disciples to return to the sect.

Ten disciples of the Yunxia Sect traveled overnight for six hours to reach Linfeng Lake, but within a quarter of an hour, they were terrified by three mutilated corpses and fled back to the Yunxia Sect...

……

Rongzhou, Lishui Ridge.

"These mountains are so beautiful!" Shen Yao exclaimed to Xianyu.

Once in Rongzhou, Shen Yao felt a little more relaxed and finally had the energy to appreciate the scenery.

The mountains of Lishui Ridge are layered and undulating.

At first glance, the distant mountains, large and small, resemble the delicate eyebrows of young girls, layered upon each other in a pleasing and orderly fashion, with the darker color becoming as one gets closer.

The thin mist swirling around each mountain ridge resembles ethereal fairy robes, fluttering in the wind.

From a distance, the entire view resembles a row of beautiful fairies, dancing together.

Her swaying skirt and captivating eyes drew the immortals to stop and admire her, yet they dared not defile her.

It truly lives up to its name, Lishui Ridge; its beauty is truly extraordinary and it should belong to the world of cultivation.

Halfway there, the salted fish cried out, "My spiritual power is almost exhausted!"

Shen Yao called back, "Let's go below the clouds and find an open area to land."

Salted Fish shouted back, "Great!"

Xianyu, riding her Thousand Conch Spirit Treasure, began to fly downwards, with Shen Yao following closely behind.

After passing through the fog, we found a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain and decided to rest for a while.

In these layered mountains, strange beasts prefer to hide deep within the mountains, while the foot of the mountains has relatively fewer strange beasts and is safer.

After all, encountering a mid-level beast would require considerable effort to engage in a prolonged battle.

After eating some food that Shen Yao had stored away while she was still in the wooden house, Xianyu began to meditate to recover his spiritual energy.

Shen Yao munched on some dried meat: "Once we arrive in Lishui County and settle into the inn, I will teach you the Divine Soul Meridian Opening Technique."

Salty Fish gave a soft "hmm" and entered a state of spiritual recovery.

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle stretched out its antennae from the bag: "Daughter, the Lishui Ridge is not so easy to fly over."

Shen Yao asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "I sense that there are high-level exotic beasts in the mountains ahead, and it seems there is more than one."

'High-level alien beasts…' Shen Yao thought to herself, 'With Xianyu and me working together, we can handle three mid-level alien beasts without any problem, but high-level alien beasts… I've never encountered one before…'

Shen Yao asked, "How strong is a high-level exotic beast?"

Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "Five sixth-level cultivators can barely fight against a high-level alien beast."

Shen Yao exclaimed, "It takes five sixth-level cultivators to fight a single high-level beast?"

Purple Cloud Golden Beetle emphasized: "A fight is a must."

Shen Yao was silent for a moment, then, recalling the image of the little stone man eating the Wood Spirit Net, she asked, "Then should I release all the Spirit Source Stones and let them eat them?"

“Heh,” said the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle, “In the face of absolute power, your entire spirit source stone will be shattered.”

"How could this be?" Shen Yao asked. "Cultivators with ten spiritual roots all have a chance to become gods. The Complete Spirit Source Stone can also absorb all ten spiritual power, so why..."

The golden beetle pointed to the sky with its antennae: "All things must be in balance; this is the way of nature."

Shen Yao: "I still don't understand. The All-Spirit Source Stone, isn't it supposed to absorb all spiritual power?"

Golden Beetle: "As you know, it eats spiritual energy, not just anything. Even spiritual energy, it needs an opportunity to eat it."

"I see." Shen Yao understood: "No wonder we tried to catch it. It could clearly consume spiritual energy, but it only cared about running away."

Looking at the beautiful mountains ahead, Shen Yao's mindset had changed, and she felt that danger lurked everywhere.

Ahead lies a high-level exotic beast, behind are pursuers from the Yunxia Sect. They might only encounter one high-level exotic beast, but the Yunxia Sect pursuers are not just one high-level cultivator...

We have no choice but to forge ahead.

Shen Yao then looked at the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle and asked, "Sect Master, that high-level exotic beast, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the golden beetle ruthlessly interrupted him: "If you rely on your father for everything, how are you supposed to grow up?"

Shen Yao was speechless. The logic was indeed sound... In any case, the sect leader would never watch her die.

But Xianyu... Hmm, I have an idea. Let her go play in the space of the full spirit source stone first.

"This place is not safe to stay for long," Shen Yao interrupted Xianyu's spirit return: "Yuyu, go to the space of the All-Spirit Source Stone and go to its stone pit to return your spirit."

Upon hearing this, Xianyu's eyes lit up: That's right! Using the Perfect Stone can restore spirit energy three times over, and the Perfect Stone pit is rich in spiritual energy, so she can absorb it even faster.

"Yaoyao, you're so good to me!" Xianyu praised her happily, "You're the best female immortal in the world!"

Shen Yao found the praise quite pleasant after hearing it so often.

Shen Yao took out the Spirit Stone Bead and said to Xianyu, "Go in and replenish your spirit. I'll take you flying for a while, and then I'll let you out when we reach Lishui County."

Xianyu confidently handed over his demon body to Shen Yao and happily entered the space of the All-Spirit Source Stone.
