Chapter 97: Chapter 79: Taoist Skill is Natural
After Yu Lufei disappeared, Nangong Moyu turned towards Lu Yi and said, “Junior Brother Lu Yi, I still have urgent matters to attend to, so I must leave. The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range might experience some turmoil, and although you are extraordinarily talented, your cultivation base is still weak. It’s best not to get too close.”
Lu Yi nodded slightly, “I understand.”
Nangong Moyu then gathered the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range to depart.
In the modest Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, the White Cloud Sect had stationed no fewer than five Golden Core cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators. A group of cultivators soared into the sky powerfully and turned into streaks of light, moving towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Within Ten Thousand Beasts City, the cultivators who saw the movements of the White Cloud Sect’s encampment were extremely astonished and kept speculating why the White Cloud Sect’s disciples were causing such a commotion.
After Nangong Moyu left, Lu Yi thought for a moment and then re-entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
He still had the task of assisting Li Donglai, and with the current unrest in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, it was dangerous if a powerful cultivator discovered Li Donglai.
Ten drops of Myriad Spirit Dew were not a small amount, and Lu Yi could not afford such a loss.
He executed the White Cloud Stance, moving quietly through the mountains, heading swiftly towards Li Donglai.
Just as Lu Yi was halfway there, suddenly, a dazzling light began to flicker at the horizon.
Red and green lights enveloped several distant mountains, intensely bright.
Lu Yi turned his head and saw mountains crumbling in the light, followed by booming sounds, and the ground shaking slightly, causing numerous fierce beasts to flee in panic.
Seeing this, Lu Yi was incredibly alarmed.
The destructive power was terrifying.
If he didn’t use a defensive magical treasure, Lu Yi had no confidence that he could survive under such force.
Was this a battle of Nascent Soul cultivators?
Indeed, the Blood Spirit Sect cultivators dared to kill cultivators so close to Ten Thousand Beasts City because they actually had Nascent Soul cultivators backing them.
Luckily, he had not acted impulsively earlier.
Lu Yi found it somewhat incomprehensible. Had the Blood Spirit Sect cultivators gone mad? Even Nascent Soul cultivators dared to kill disciples within the territory of the White Cloud Sect. Weren’t they afraid of provoking a great war?
Watching the continuous roaring from afar, the terrifying flow of spiritual energy distorted the space. Lu Yi took a deep breath and continued to move in the direction of Li Donglai.
The battle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators caused too much commotion, making the fierce beasts start to flee. If any fierce beasts ran towards Li Donglai, it would be troublesome.
Lu Yi moved extremely quickly and soon arrived at the mountain where Li Donglai was located.
He saw Li Donglai sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a pale red flame shield. It was evident that Li Donglai was safe and sound.
Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and walked over.
Li Donglai, who was healing, sensed the disturbance and suddenly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Lu Yi, his expression softened and he showed a surprised smile, “Young friend, you’ve returned so quickly? There are fluctuations of battle from the direction of the Blood Spirit Sect; are Nascent Soul cultivators fighting? Have you already informed the White Cloud Sect?”
Lu Yi nodded and smiled, “Yes, Elder Yu from the White Cloud Sect has already gone there.”
Li Donglai visibly relaxed, Lu Yi glanced at him and saw that the wound on Li Donglai’s abdomen had shrunk a bit and was beginning to scab over, indicating that he possessed quite effective healing holy medicine.
Just then, a roar sounded, and a beast with green scale armor and resembling a giant tiger charged up the mountain. Upon seeing Lu Yi and Li Donglai, it charged directly towards them.
Li Donglai’s face changed. “It’s a Green Scale Tiger with Foundation Establishment cultivation. Young friend, come inside quickly!”
Before Li Donglai’s words had finished, a flash of sword light split the Green Scale Tiger’s body in midair into two halves, scattering blood across the ground.
Li Donglai froze for a moment, then looked at Lu Yi with a curious expression, “…Young friend, is your strength really that formidable?”
Lu Yi smiled somewhat sheepishly, “Senior, rest assured, ordinary Foundation Establishment fierce beasts can’t hurt me.”
Li Donglai was a bit flabbergasted. This young friend was clearly just a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, right? How could he be so powerful?
Meanwhile, Lu Yi was feeling a bit of a pleasant surprise.
He had made a great discovery.
Before killing the Green Scale Tiger, Lu Yi had set a task in his mind and discovered that killing a Foundation Establishment Realm Green Scale Tiger rewarded him with a full ten drops of Millennium Spirit Dew.
What is the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range most abundant in? It’s fierce beasts!
Lu Yi’s eyes sparkled as he found a new way to obtain Millennium Spirit Dew.
But soon, Lu Yi calmed down and erased this thought.
Excessive killing could lead to the accumulation of karmic obstacles, potentially leading to consequences. Lu Yi thought using it occasionally to supplement was acceptable, but it was not the righteous path to slaughter massively just for Millennium Spirit Dew.
Lu Yi spoke, “Senior, you probably don’t have much combat strength for the time being. Since the fighting between the Nascent Soul cultivators has already caused disturbances among the local fierce beasts, should we head back?”
Li Donglai pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, “That would be wise.”
Although Li Donglai was still injured, he now had basic mobility.
He followed Lu Yi down the mountain, slowly moving towards Ten Thousand Beasts City. Along the way, Lu Yi took the opportunity to kill several Foundation Establishment fierce beasts that rushed towards them, earning a sizable amount of Millennium Spirit Dew.
The battle between the two Nascent Soul cultivators lasted for about a quarter of an hour, with the ground cracking and forests shattering. Eventually, a streak of bloody light vanished into the horizon, and the sky calmed down.
As the sky quieted down, the fierce beasts also gradually stopped running, and the entire mountain range seemed to fall into a sort of silence.
