A distance of several hundred metres, with Ye Chu clearing the path and the combined efforts of numerous cultivators, was finally traversed. Please visit for the latest free chapters of this book.
After walking out of the beast tide, Ye Chu’s face was also pale, his body stained with countless blood, dyed red. The group leaped out of the beast tide and did not dare to stay, fearing they would be struck by the beast tide again.
Once out of the beast tide, they moved as fast as lightning, striding forward quickly. With every step, they left the beast tide far behind, not giving them a chance to pounce on them again.
Chong Huang and the other three were still fighting the demonic beasts. Their battle remained incredibly fierce, making the firmament tremble. The surging power made everyone’s heart skip a beat in sheer terror.
Leaving the beast herd behind, the group that scaled Purple Dragon Mountain each found a safe place, dug up some precious medicinal herbs on the mountain, and began to sit in meditation to cultivate.
Ye Chu and Xiang Ting were no exception. Although Ye Chu had a special physique, the consumption this time was too great. If he had not been fast enough and strong enough, he would have been injured on this trip.
Fortunately, the heaven and earth spiritual energy on Purple Dragon Mountain was thick, and the medicinal herbs were abundant, allowing for a very rapid recovery.
The whole group sat in meditation to cultivate, and an hour passed. The deafening sounds of battle still rang in their ears. Chong Huang and the other three fought the demonic beasts from the right to the west. The fierce battles destroyed patch after patch of emerald green trees. Those trees, which required several people to embrace, were swept up by their power and directly crushed into debris.
“Ye Chu, I trust you have been well!” The Heavenly Feather Prince recovered his strength, his face ruddy, and walked up to Ye Chu, smiling at him. “Since parting with you and Brother Tan Chen last time, I have missed you terribly. That day, when I saw you swallowed by the Dragon Blood Lake, I thought you were already dead.”
“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am in good health and can live for a few more centuries!” Ye Chu smiled at the Heavenly Feather Prince. “I should congratulate you, Your Highness. Your soaring strength makes me envious.”
The Heavenly Feather Prince looked at Ye Chu with a smile. “Now you can tell me about him, can you not? Do not tell me you do not know again! You must understand that killing you right now would not take much effort on my part.”
Ye Chu knew the Heavenly Feather Prince was talking about Ou Yi. Ye Chu shrugged and said, “With your strength, Your Highness, killing me is naturally no problem. However, even if you kill me, it is useless. Because I do not know either. If Your Highness wants to know, why not ask him directly? Are you afraid of him, so you have learned to bully the weak and fear the strong?”
Ye Chu looked at the Heavenly Feather Prince, not actually too afraid of him in his heart. For someone like the Heavenly Feather Prince, he had his own pride. His pride dictated that he would not easily kill him. Moreover, Ye Chu dared to act this way because Jin Chongyun was nearby. This guy wanted to deal with him even more than the Heavenly Feather Prince, but he could not let him die. Therefore, even if the Heavenly Feather Prince made a move, Jin Chongyun would protect him.
“Hmph! Then take a message to him. This prince will properly ask him for advice. Ruining my ancestor’s physical body, this debt must be settled properly.” The Heavenly Feather Prince stared at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu shrugged and ignored them. He looked up into the void. The battle in the void had become even more intense. Power surged like a vast ocean, turbulent and mighty. The intent permeated in all directions, and vigorous energy flew across heaven and earth.
Rocks shattered and metal cracked. The booming noise shook the vast sky, causing the eardrums of many people to ache.
At this moment, the power between heaven and earth continuously soared into the sky, erupting like a volcano. Various lights were brilliant, and the riotous power rushed into the clouds.
Fighting to this point, everyone was spitting blood. Both the demonic beasts and the four men had sustained significant injuries.
Even so, their battles were still madly intertwined. Terrifying powers clashed, making people tremble with fear.
Some cultivators watched their fierce battle, and thoughts gradually arose in their hearts. They began to frantically climb up the mountain. At this moment, these few experts were held back by the demonic beasts. It was the perfect time to retrieve the treasures. Otherwise, once they freed their hands, would any treasures still fall into their hands?
This action was quickly echoed by numerous cultivators. They leaped up quickly, scaling the mountain peaks.
However, not long after they began to climb, some people’s faces changed drastically. Before they even had time to retreat, a cultivator collapsed weakly on the ground. In a short time, the cultivator turned into a pile of white bones, with their body and blood completely vanished.
This scene made the calculating cultivators retreat, looking at the mountain ahead with pale faces.
At this time, Xiang Ting stood beside Ye Chu, lightly parting her red lips to answer, “The higher up Purple Mountain you go, the greater the danger. Every time Purple Mountain gives birth to something, the perils are different. However, judging by the death of the cultivator just now, they must have encountered baleful energy. Only baleful energy can make them die so quickly, leaving not even their physical bodies intact.”
Ye Chu nodded, his gaze turning towards the Heavenly Feather Prince and the others.
The Heavenly Feather Prince was not afraid. The riotous light from the flying feather pattern on his forehead covered his body. He stepped forward, walking up the mountain.
Jin Chongyun naturally did not want to show weakness either, advancing step by step with the same method. The other cultivators looked at the mountain before them, gritted their teeth, protected their entire bodies with their power, used various means to protect themselves, and stepped forward to follow the two.
As top-grade kings, they did not believe they would be blocked by this inexplicable baleful energy.
Ye Chu also took Xiang Ting and walked up. Ye Chu naturally did not fear baleful energy. As a baleful spirit master, Xiang Ting naturally had means to counter baleful energy. Compared to ordinary people, she feared it even less.
The baleful energy was not thick, drifting weakly in the space, and many places had no baleful energy at all. But this baleful energy was extremely domineering and terrifying, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to resist.
“Ah…” Another miserable cry rang out. A cultivator could not withstand it, and their body turned into white bones, collapsing on the ground.
Ye Chu ignored them and walked forward with Xiang Ting. The density of the baleful energy was pitifully low, having no effect on him at all. Many cultivators heard the sounds of miserable deaths and felt puzzled in their hearts, because they had not encountered any baleful energy.
Some rejoiced while others wept. Cultivators who had not encountered baleful energy were extremely lucky to pass through the mountainside and continue forward. Meanwhile, cultivators who encountered baleful energy, those who were not baleful spirit masters, all lay on the ground, turning into white bones.
Looking at the seven or eight piles of white bones, Ye Chu murmured, “Purple Dragon Mountain is truly not a place for ordinary cultivators to visit.”
“Otherwise, why do you think Purple Dragon Mountain can grow so many precious medicinal herbs and have so many treasures on it? It is precisely because it is dangerous and few people come that these good things are left behind. Otherwise, if anyone could enter, the good things would have been picked clean long ago.” Xiang Ting answered Ye Chu. “However, be a bit more careful. Purple Mountain is very eerie, and dangers emerge endlessly. You never know when you will encounter danger.”
Ye Chu nodded to Xiang Ting, following behind the group of the Heavenly Feather Prince, his pace neither fast nor slow. Ye Chu was not afraid of danger. If others dared to come, there was no reason for him not to dare.
