Chapter 304 – Shangguan Xue
Chapter 304 – Shangguan Xue
Seven days later, Wind Weeping Mountain.
“Last time, we were in the neighborhood, and we found the traces of the Yuan Devouring Beast, but right now that trace has disappeared.”
Huo Chunyan activates the magic weapon in her hand, but she fails to sense anything, so she can’t help but frown lightly.
Zhuge Yun similarly cast a tracking spell, and seeing that the spell didn’t work, there was no surprise in his eyes.
“Nine days have passed since I was last here, and with such a long period of time, the Yuan Devouring Beast would have run away long ago. However, this place should not be far from its lair, but the deeper we go, the higher the danger, follow me closely.”
After saying that, Zhuge Yun raised his steps and walked towards the deeper depths.
However, before he went far, he suddenly stopped walking and seemed to be listening to something with his ears.
There was a certain sound that came from the front.
“There seems to be someone fighting ahead, about three or four miles to the left.”
Huo Chunyan holds the Spirit Survey Disk in her hand, not only can she detect changes in aura, her sensitivity to sound is likewise above the others.
Thus after listening for a moment, she accurately reported the location of the fight.
It’s just that her Spirit Surveyor’s Disk is not of a high level, so if the other party had the intention to hide it, they wouldn’t be able to detect anything.
Zhuge Yun prepared to go around without much thinking, in this Wind Weeping Mountain, it was better to do more than less.
However, only after walking out a mile, she found the Yuan Devouring Beast’s trail again, and there was more than one.
At the same time, the faint sounds of fighting were also heard more clearly.
“It’s a Yuan Devouring Beast!”
A hint of excitement appeared on Huo Chunyan’s face, “In addition to the two groups of people fighting, there’s also a Yuan Devouring Beast in the mix.”
Zhuge Yun only hesitated for a split second before making a decision.
“Converge your breath and go over to take a look first!”
The battle not far away, on the other hand, had entered a white heat.
There were only two or three people left on both sides who could stand.
The originally huge Yuan Devouring Beast, right now, was miserable and incomparable, without a piece of good meat on its body, with the appearance that it might gulp its breath at any time.
The two groups of people were fighting fiercely, and no one had ever realized that a few people were silently approaching.
“Snipers and mussels are fighting, and the fisherman will benefit. They are fighting to death here, we can take advantage …… of the opportunity.”
A cold smile spilled out from the corner of Zhuge Yun’s mouth, however, before he finished speaking, when he saw the appearance of the female cultivator who was in a fierce battle with someone, his complexion suddenly changed.
“Prepare to strike!”
After saying that, Zhuge Yun rushed over like an arrow off the string.
He was about to take out his sword when he suddenly thought of something and stiffly pulled out an iron fan to kill the two people fighting with that female cultivator.
Zhuge Yun’s movements were too fast, so much so that several people were still a bit unresponsive even after he had made a move with someone.
Zhang Yu looked at Zhuge Yun who had already stood in a group with the people, and his open mouth did not have time to close.
“Didn’t Senior Brother Zhuge explain before he came that he wouldn’t let us act rashly or cheaply?”
“Who knows what he’s up to! Could it be that he saw that female cultivator was pretty and saw color?”
Huo Chunyan complained, following Xu Chuniang’s lead and striking out together.
Zhao Xing San was also not slow in his movements, and subconsciously glanced at the female cultivator when he heard the words, vaguely feeling some familiarity, but also knowing that he definitely did not recognize this person.
After all, such a powerful and outstanding female cultivator, if he had seen it, he would never have no impression.
With Zhuge Yun bringing people to join in, the originally evenly matched battlefield quickly went sideways.
Seeing that the victory had been decided, the last remaining Foundation Establishment cultivator on the other side suddenly broke free from Zhuge Yun’s blockade and rushed towards the beautiful-looking female cultivator with a hideous smile. “Wanting me to die, I’ll pull someone along with me!”
With that, he began to explode himself without hesitation.
Zhuge Yun’s face changed greatly, and he was about to stop it, but he saw the female cultivator suddenly disappear from her original spot, and at the same time, the dying Yuan Devouring Beast appeared where she originally stood.
And her figure, transformed to where the Yuan Devouring Beast was.
The cultivator didn’t expect such a turn of events and his face changed drastically, but his self-detonation had already begun and there was no way to stop.
Only heard a “rumble” sound, the Devouring Beast withstood the endless aftershocks, in the self-detonation was blown to pieces …….
Fortunately, when the cultivator had the first signs of self-detonation, the other people were far away, so his self-detonation did not affect the other people.
However, after causing such a big commotion in the depths of Wind Weeping Mountain, I’m afraid that it would attract the prying eyes of others.
Zhuge Yun’s mind flew, but he looked over towards the late Foundation Establishment appearance of the beautiful cultivator.
“Senior Sister Xue’er, are you alright?”
Senior sister Xue’er?
Several people glanced at each other, and a guess surfaced in their hearts.
Could it be that this powerful yet beautiful female cultivator was Shangguan Xue?
A cool voice rang out, verifying their conjecture.
“This time, I thank Senior Brother Zhuge for his help, but you can still call me Shangguan Xue.”
The smile at the corner of Zhuge Yun’s mouth stiffened slightly, “Senior sister Shangguan saying so is too out of the ordinary ……”
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
“Senior Brother Zhuge is sure he wants to exchange pleasantries with me here?”
Shangguan Xue frowned slightly, sweeping over the mess everywhere without a trace, the movement caused by the cultivator’s self-detonation just now was extremely loud, and it had to be moved as soon as possible before he could do so.
Zhuge Yun finally stopped speaking.
And Shangguan Xue lightly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, the bottom of the heart is annoyed.
This time, as the leader of the team, the four senior brothers she brought out, one was dead and one was seriously injured, and there were also two senior brothers, including herself, who were equally injured.
It was not easy to hunt the Yuan Devouring Beast, but it was also destroyed by someone ……
A trace of decisiveness flashed in her eyes, she must leave Wind Weeping Mountain as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, after thanking Zhuge Yun and his party once again, she handed out pills to the two disciples and left directly with the severely injured one.
Zhuge Yun could see Shangguan Xue’s intentions, and seeing that she did not have the slightest intention of asking for help, he could not help but follow her.
“Xue …… Shangguan senior sister, we are fellow disciples, it is incumbent to take care of each other, it is better to let me travel with you.”
Shangguan Xue’s face was unchanged, “Your mission is not completed either, right, not going to kill the Yuan Devouring Beast?”
Zhuge Yun swept across Shangguan Xue’s side face and said almost without thinking.
“The Yuan Devouring Beast can be killed at any time, but Senior Sister is now injured, but I am uneasy about you. In case you encounter any more dangers on the way back, what can be done.”
Shangguan Xue frowned slightly, but did not say anything else, so she silently allowed Zhuge Yun to accompany her.
Looking at Zhuge Yun’s appearance that he can’t wait to stick to Senior Sister Shangguan’s side, Huo Chunyan skims her mouth in displeasure and transmits her voice towards Xu Chuniang.
“In the past, Zhuge Senior Brother was so cold and impatient with us, but now that he has seen Senior Sister Shangguan, he has fallen back on us without even wanting to have a face, and he has even thrown aside his mission.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t know what to think about Zhuge Yun’s approach.
In fact, from a sense of reason, escorting Senior Sister Shangguan away from Wind Weeping Mountain was something that should be done.
Huo Chunyan was still indignant, ”Last time, when you were busy practicing and didn’t make it to the mountain, he had a lot of opinions. But when Senior Sister Shangguan mentioned the mission just now, he looked unimpressed.”
