Translator: 549690339
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
At this moment, within the Yunwu Mountains.
Many cultivators were fleeing in panic, not picking their paths, pursued by numerous demonic beasts.
Among them were not a few second-stage demonic beasts.
They were cultivators from the Shen, Mu, and Xiao families, some at the Foundation Establishment stage, and some at the Qi Cultivation stage.
But faced with such an onslaught of demonic beasts, they were like rats abandoning a sinking ship.
If they were a step too slow, they would be torn to pieces by these demonic beasts, leaving not a single piece of armor intact.
After all, there were too many demonic beasts, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands.
“Damn it, that third-stage demonic beast, the Ape King from Yunwu Mountain, turns out to be the spiritual beast of Wanliu Master.” Elder Shen Sheng from the Shen family looked extremely upset.
Their plan this time was supposed to be very smooth.
They gathered over a dozen Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators and spent more than a month. With the Prohibition Array in the cave dwelling in disrepair over the years, they finally managed to crack it.
Just as they entered the cave dwelling and were about to loot the treasures left behind by Wanliu Master, they unexpectedly stirred the third-stage demonic beast, the Ape King from Yunwu Mountain.
This third-stage demonic beast was once Wanliu Master’s spirit beast.
Although Wanliu Master has already died, the spirit beast, with its long lifespan, is still alive.
And its strength has grown even stronger, already comparable to a Golden Core Completing cultivator.
It sensed the invasion of its master’s cave dwelling by outsiders and naturally flew into a rage.
So, it led a large number of demonic beasts straight in for the kill.
The outcome was predictable. The cultivators from the three major families and the various Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators were immediately hit hard.
Half of their number were killed or injured on the spot.
In the end, figures like Shen Sheng detonated the cave dwelling’s Seventh-Order formation, causing terrifying destruction, barely holding off the third-stage demonic beast’s pursuit.
But even then, the Ape King was still in relentless pursuit.
If they were caught, they would undoubtedly die.
“I cannot die, I absolutely cannot die.”
“I have hopes of attaining the Golden Core. How could I possibly die in a place like this?”
Elder Shen Sheng from the Shen family showed a fierce expression.
Truth be told, this time they entered the cave dwelling of Wanliu Master, the gains were substantial.
They not only acquired Wanliu Master’s Legacy Cultivation Method, but also many treasures he left behind.
Among them was a bottle containing a Third Stage Pill, the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.
This pill is a Core Formation Spiritual Medicine, capable of enhancing the Core Formation probability of a Foundation Establishment Completing cultivator by thirty percent.
Its value was simply unimaginable.
If a Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill appears in the outside world, it would likely trigger a war among the Golden Core Sects.
But here there was a bottle containing at least three Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills.
Therefore, if he could leave alive, he had a fifty to sixty percent probability of becoming a Golden Core Master and obtaining five hundred years of lifespan.
So, anyway, he had to survive because this was his opportunity to attain enlightenment.
But now, a large number of demonic beasts are in pursuit, and the Ape King is on the alert.
He simply had nowhere to escape.
“That’s right, the Foundation Establishment woman, and that Foundation Establishment Completing woman.”
“This woman’s combat power is not simple, she actually managed to instantly kill the Four Demons of the Yunwu.”
“If I could borrow this woman’s power, or use this woman as a scapegoat.”
“To help me hold off the third-stage demonic beast, the Ape King, then perhaps there may be a slim chance of survival.”
Out of the blue, Elder Shen Sheng from the Shen family thought of the mysterious Foundation Establishment female cultivator in the valley. His heart instantly leaped with joy, feeling as if he had found the last straw to clutch at.
He felt like diverting the catastrophe to her.
He didn’t care whether his actions would offend her, as long as he himself could survive, that would be enough.
Moreover, his relationship with her wasn’t particularly good to begin with.
Perhaps they had offended the other party to death the last time.
This is the perfect opportunity to have someone else do the dirty work.
Not only can they eliminate a strong enemy, but also have someone else fend off the Ape King, allowing them to escape with their lives.
Swish swish swish!!!
With that in mind, Elder Shen Sheng of the Shen family led a large group of cultivators towards the valley where Zhou Sui and others were located.
“Elder, we’re here, we’re here, up ahead is the valley where the Foundation Establishment female cultivator is.”
A Shan family cultivator shouted ecstatically.
“But there’s a first-order Defensive Array there, what are we to do?”
Another cultivator asked.
“Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, save us, save us. We are being chased by monsters outside.”
“Please open the array quickly and let us in.”
“If we are lucky enough to escape, we will definitely repay you in the future.”
Elder Shen Sheng of the Shen family shouted with a deep breath. His words formed a roaring wave, hoping that the people inside the array could hear him and let him in.
But the valley was eerily silent, with no response.
“Elder, those bastards are ignoring us.”
A Shen family cultivator said, looking very ugly.
Obviously, their silence meant they had refused their request for refuge.
That actually made a lot of sense.
After all, they were being chased by a host of monsters. If they sheltered them, wouldn’t that be inviting trouble?
If they were the ones in this situation, they would reject the request without hesitation.
But, as they were the ones in trouble now, they refused to tolerate it.
“Damn it, those bastards. Despite our generally good relationship and frequent trades, they are refusing to help us when it matters. I knew they were no good.”
A cultivator from the Mu family cursed, his face filled with resentment.
He forgot that it was he who had brought this trouble upon himself and sought others to bear the blame.
And now he was blaming others for refusing to help.
Some people were just born ungrateful, never to be appeased.
“Breach it!”
Elder Shen Sheng of the Shen family was increasingly anxious. He could sense the aura of the beasts behind him getting closer. If he didn’t take action now, they would be caught up.
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to strike, aiming an attack at the first-order array guarding the valley.
Boom—
With just one hit, the first-order array covering the valley was instantly destroyed.
Inside, rudimentary stone houses were immediately exposed.
But apart from these rudimentary houses, there was no one around. They had already fled the scene.
“It’s over, Brother Zhou and the others have run away. They are not here at all.”
Upon seeing this, the faces of many cultivators turned pale.
They originally planned to have someone else take the blame and fend off the third-level monster, the Ape King.
But who could have imagined that there was no human presence here at all.
The cultivators in the valley had disappeared without a trace.
Boom
At this moment, a large number of second-level monsters arrived quickly, with the towering figure of the third-level monster, the Ape King, towering above them, demonstrating unstoppable ferocity.
“It’s over, those bastards have betrayed us.”
Upon seeing this, Elder Shen Sheng of the Shen family’s face turned green and he felt utterly desperate, teetering on the edge of regret.
If they had scattered and fled earlier, rather than trying to make the Foundation Establishment female cultivator their scapegoat, they might still have had a chance to survive.
However, their delay has cost them their chance to escape..
