Chapter 185.2
“Demon clans valued bloodlines the most, so they wouldn’t have gone mad just from seeing the Emperor’s Essence Grass.”
“Are you crazy? For the Emperor’s Essence Grass, the six-tailed fox teamed up with the black wind shadow wolf and fought a Mad Ape King in the chaos. Many demons had taken advantage of the disorder and stolen the opportunity. The scene was so chaotic.”
“I once heard that the six-tailed fox and the shadow wolf were both powerful demon cultivators who could leapfrog and challenge others. Now it seems that this was true.”
“Then who won in the end?”
“Guess?” The man suddenly smiled suspiciously.
Cheng Qi raised his head slightly, thinking with pride, ‘Of course, Li Tianyan won. Li Tianyan won without even having to fight.’
“The Mad Ape must have won. No matter how powerful the fox demon and wolf demon were, they couldn’t have beaten the Nascent Soul,” one person said.
“Yes, I guess it was the Mad Ape.”
“I’ll bet on the six-tailed fox and the shadow wolf.”
“Hmph, in the end, the Mad Ape was struck by the shadow wolf’s life-saving magic weapon and died on the spot.”
After hearing that a single blow could kill a Nascent Soul demon cultivator, everyone immediately guessed what this life-saving magic weapon might be.
“It would have been too wasteful to use such a precious item just to earn a Xuan-level spiritual grass.”
“Hehe, the exciting part was yet to come. The Fox Clan and the Wolf Clan defended against all the demon cultivators who wanted to steal the spiritual grass. In the end, they failed to defend against the two human cultivators. When they killed the Mad Ape King, it wasn’t just the spiritual grass they took; the two men also took away the body of the Tiger King and escaped without a trace.”
“Awesome, do you know who these two people were?” After hearing this, many people became curious about the two core formation cultivators.
Zhao Shubao and the others looked at each other in shock. They hadn’t expected that the two evil cultivators they had met in the cave were so powerful. No wonder the two demon clans were violently shaking the whole mountain to find them.
“Now the Fox Clan and the Wolf Clan were looking for these two core formation cultivators everywhere. According to their descriptions, they were both only in their twenties. One of them was ugly and hid his face with a mask all day, not daring to show anyone.”
“Core formation in their twenties? Did you hear that right? Looking through the entire Infinite Island, I could count the core formation under fifty years old on one hand. Core formation in their twenties were simply a fantasy. And two of them at once?”
“I’m not kidding. Many demon clans saw it that day. The bone age of these two people was definitely no more than thirty.”
“Then they probably using some drugs.”
“Yes, or they practiced some heaven-defying magic power. If one of them liked to wear a mask, he must have been disfigured by the magic power.”
“With what you said, it seemed really possible.”
Cheng Qi, who had been listening with great interest at first, couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose when he heard what they said and cursed inwardly, ‘You’re the ones taking drugs, you’re the ones practicing evil skills.’
“Fellow Cultivator Li, did you encounter those two evil cultivators during these days in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain?” Zhao Shubao suddenly asked Li Tianyan.
“No, but are these two really as young as they say?” Li Tianyan asked, pretending to be curious.
Zhao Shubao nodded. “What we saw was indeed true. Those two were exactly the same age as you two, and their body shapes seemed similar. No wonder the six-tailed fox mistook you.”
Zhao Shubao added, “However, Fellow Cultivator Li had a peaceful temperament, which was quite different from theirs.”
Li Tianyan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a warm smile, “Were those two very irritable?”
“It’s not that they were irritable; they just didn’t look easy to talk to,” Zhao Shubao said, thinking of the two of them and unsure how to describe them.
While they were talking, several people had already arrived at the teleportation formation. Perhaps due to the incident at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, there were many who wanted to leave via the teleportation formation.
Zhao Yu stuffed a storage bag into the hands of the cultivators guarding the formation, and the group was immediately moved to the front, skipping the queue.
Cheng Qi stood beside Li Tianyan with a curious look on his face. When he saw that Zhao Shubao had paid another three thousand spirit stones for the teleportation fee of six people, he couldn’t help but secretly gasp.
“Let’s go,” Li Tianyan said, shaking his head and laughing as he saw Cheng Qi looking pained and shocked. However, he was a great alchemist, yet he kept making his Taoist companion live in tight situations. Li Tianyan thought it was time for him to reflect.
After the group stepped onto the teleportation formation, the cultivators guarding the formation performed a few tricks, and then a dazzling beam of light shone on them. Cheng Qi nervously grabbed Li Tianyan, and the group vanished in the light.
Just as they were about to be teleported away, Li Tianyan caught the scent of Hei Yin and the wolf clan, but the smell disappeared in an instant as the teleportation formation was activated.
With the teleportation formation, they saved a lot of distance at once, and with the wind chimes birds, it only took them two days to reach Alliance City.
Before entering the city, Zhao Shubao invited Li Tianyan. “If Fellow Cultivator Li has no place to go, why not stay at this Zhao’s house for a while?”
The two of them were at the late stage of foundation establishment at their young age and had no background. Zhao Shubao intended to bring them into the Zhao family, but they had to be willing to do so. This invitation was also meant as a test.
Li Tianyan naturally understood the implication and declined Zhao Shubao’s invitation with a smile. Knowing that they still had matters to attend to, Li Tianyan politely said goodbye to the others.
Pei Qing bowed to them before taking another passage into the city with Zhao Shubao.
Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were outsiders, so they had to queue up at the city gate to enter. They handed over two hundred spirit stones and received two badges to enter the city.
“Young master, do you want to stay at an inn?” Cheng Qi checked the storage bag. They only had 1,800 middle-grade spiritual stones, and the Alliance City Inn seemed quite expensive.
“Stay one night first. Wait until the prey is sold tomorrow, and then we’ll make plans,” Li Tianyan said, seeing that it was getting late. They could only find a place to rest first.
The two found a mid-range inn and spent another five hundred spirit stones.
“It cost five hundred spiritual stones to sleep one night. This sleep is so expensive,” Cheng Qi rolled on the bed, holding the storage bag with a distressed look on his face.
“The inn seemed to have free dinner. Do you want to go down and have a meal?” Li Tianyan said, holding the wooden sign given by the inn.
Sure enough, when Cheng Qi heard about the free dinner, his eyes lit up. He immediately sat up from the bed. “Of course I want it.”
Note:
I’m glad I was cautious about these two words, demon and evil.
Demon cultivator is a cultivator from demon clan. While evil cultivator is a human who used evil cultivation arts.
