Chapter 425: Side Story 4: Invitation
Empty!
The battles.h.i.+p emitted a huge bang that was deafening. It floated above the mountaintop like a huge beast, looking sinister and terrifying.
Seeing this, Yun Xi took a sip of spirit wine and revealed a puzzled expression. What was going on?
Qin Xiao hid behind Yun Xi with a curious expression. She had never seen such a low-level battles.h.i.+p.
Right at this moment, more than a dozen figures suddenly flew down from the battles.h.i.+p and landed on the mountaintop.
The dozen or so figures were all dressed in the same attire. Their cultivations were around the Saint Stage, and the middle-aged man in the lead had reached the Grand Saint Stage. In such a low-level dimension, he could already be considered a top expert.
Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw Yun Xi, but they quickly recovered their calm and didn’t do anything out of line. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t even know how they died.
The middle-aged man took a step forward and looked down at Yun Xi and Qin Xiao. “Did the two of you see a fiend beast with six wings?”
“Six wings?”
Yun Xi was stunned and looked at the skeleton beside her. The fiend beast they just ate seemed to have six wings.
Sensing Yun Xi’s gaze, the middle-aged man in the lead looked over as well. He frowned slightly at first, and then he seemed to have realized something and turned pale with fright. “Feng Qi, is that you? Feng Qi!”
Even though the flesh and blood had already been eaten by Yun Xi and Qin Xiao, the middle-aged man could tell from the remaining aura that this pile of bones really belonged to Feng Qi!
“Ahhh, who are you? How dare you kill my sect’s sacred beast protector!”
The middle-aged man’s eyes almost split open as he stared fixedly at Yun Xi, and he no longer had the arrogant appearance from before.
One had to know that although Feng Qi was only at the Saint Stage, it was still a descendant of a divine beast. It had a chance to advance to the Great Sage Stage in the future and allow the Grand Thunder Sect to improve further. In the end, it actually died just like that. It could be imagined how furious the middle-aged man was.
Yun Xi was dumbfounded when she heard this. She had actually accidentally eaten a sect protecting sacred beast?
“Sorry, I didn’t know that this fiend beast was your sect protecting sacred beast.”
Yun Xi hurriedly apologized. “I’m willing to compensate.”
After all, she had eaten someone else’s sect protecting sacred beast and was at fault. She could only choose to resolve this matter by compensating.
Yun Xi was indeed an out-and-out foodie, but it didn’t mean that she was unreasonable. A mistake was a mistake, and she absolutely wouldn’t deny it, even if the other party wasn’t even an ant in her eyes.
However, who would have thought that there would be a sect protecting sacred beast in a forest where fiend beasts roamed freely? If she had known earlier, Yun Xi wouldn’t have made a move on it.
“Compensation?”
The Grand Thunder Sect expert beside him shouted angrily, “You two wouldn’t be able to afford it even if you paid with your lives!”
Facing the disdain of the experts of the Grand Thunder Sect, Yun Xi was neither sad nor happy. She took out a spirit fruit from her storage ring. “What if I compensate you with this spirit fruit?”
The spirit fruit was only the size of a fist and was like a ruby. It emitted a faint spirit qi that was crystal clear.
Almost the moment he saw the spirit fruit, the middle-aged man’s mouth gaped in disbelief. “A grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit! How is that possible? Didn’t this thing disappear long ago?”
Others might not know, but the middle-aged man knew very well because this was something he wanted even in his dreams!
The grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit was a miraculous spirit fruit that could help a Grand Saint Stage expert advance to the Great Sage Stage. According to the ancient books on the continent, as long as the person who consumed it reached the Grand Saint Stage, even if their lifespan was exhausted, they could still forcefully break through their shackles and step into the Great Sage Stage!
However, due to various reasons, the grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit had long disappeared thousands of years ago. Now, the highest level spirit fruit one could find was only grade six or seven. Even so, it was still an important resource that every faction fought for.
After all, Great Sage Stage experts had top combat strength. Legendary Stage experts and Saint Stage experts couldn’t be compared to them.
The middle-aged man had once searched everywhere based on the information he read about from the ancient books, hoping to use the power of the grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit to help him advance to the Great Sage Stage. Unfortunately, he had failed.
He did not expect that this young woman in front of him could actually take out a grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit.
However, what the middle-aged man didn’t know was that the grade nine Sacred Spirit Fruit had indeed disappeared from this continent, but Yun Xi had plucked it from another continent.
“Oh, is it called the Sacred Spirit Fruit?”
Yun Xi seemed to be lost in thought.
She only casually took out a grade nine spirit fruit and did not think too much about it.
“This should be enough, right?”
“Yes, it is enough!”
The middle-aged man nodded impatiently, wis.h.i.+ng he could immediately s.n.a.t.c.h it from Yun Xi.
He had already stagnated at the Grand Saint Stage for thousands of years. Seeing that his lifespan was about to end and that he had no hope of breaking through, how could he give up this opportunity?
As for Feng Qi, so what if it died?
In any case, it would only be able to advance to the Great Sage Stage after several hundred years. After obtaining the level nine Sacred Spirit Fruit, the middle-aged man was confident that he could advance to the Great Sage Stage in ten or even five years.
At that time, even competing for the position of sect master would not be impossible.
The other experts of the Grand Thunder Sect looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence. It couldn’t be helped. After all, the middle-aged man was their leader.
“In that case, here you go.”
Yun Xi heaved a sigh of relief and flicked her finger, sending the spirit fruit into the middle-aged man’s hand.
“Let’s go.”
After doing this, Yun Xi prepared to leave with Qin Xiao.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, the middle-aged man called out to the two of them.
“Anything else?”
Yun Xi frowned.
The prerequisite for her being willing to be reasonable was that the other party didn’t push his luck. Otherwise, Yun Xi wouldn’t mind directly slapping him to death.
“Um, I want to invite you to be a guest on behalf of the Grand Thunder Sect.”
The middle-aged man carefully put away the spirit fruit and smiled.
“Guest?”
Yun Xi was stunned. The other party clearly seemed as if he would fight to the death just now, so why did he seem like an old friend she had not seen in many years?
Indeed, spirit fruits could make ghosts grind.
“As long as you agree, our sect will definitely entertain you with the highest standards.” The middle-aged man continued.
Yun Xi’s expression changed slightly. “Are there delicacies?”
“???”
The middle-aged man was full of question marks, but he quickly reacted and vowed, “Yes! Apart from the Thunder Art, our Grand Thunder Sect is most famous for our delicacies!”
Yun Xi was overjoyed when she heard this, and then she nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, “Alright!”
At this moment, Qin Xiao pulled Yun Xi’s sleeve and whispered, “Aunt Yun, I think they seem to be plotting something.”
“Hahaha, you’re thinking too much.”
After a pause, Yun Xi said indifferently, “Don’t worry, with me around, there’s no need to be afraid even if they have any schemes.”
Qin Xiao :”…”
No wonder his father said that as long as there was food, Aunt Yun would dare to go anywhere!
However, this continent was only a low-level dimension. Even Qin Xiao could easily sweep through it, let alone Yun Xi, so there was no need to worry.
Therefore, under the middle-aged man’s lead, Yun Xi and Qin Xiao boarded the battles.h.i.+p.
The interior s.p.a.ce of the battles.h.i.+p was not large, only a few hundred square meters. Compared to the battles.h.i.+ps Qin Xiao had seen in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, it was no different from a toy. Whether it was the material or the level, it was far inferior.
Empty!
The battles.h.i.+p let out another deafening roar, pulled out a long tail, and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
An hour later, the battles.h.i.+p arrived at the Grand Thunder Sect and slowly landed.
During this time, Yun Xi finally understood why the Grand Thunder Sect’s sacred beast guardian would appear in such a place. It turned out that it had fallen into a violent state and forcefully rushed out of the sect.
