Chapter 376: Soaring Serpent
Panicking, Nalan Lengling did not have the time to think. She grabbed Victor’s sleeve, not caring about how inappropriate her actions were.
“No matter what you say, I will not agree! w.a.n.g Cheng, you promised me that you won’t take the risk!”
“I will only creep up to have a clear view. I won’t act rashly.”
“That won’t do either! I don’t agree!”
Nalan Lengling’s att.i.tude was very firm. No matter what, she would not agree to Victor taking the risk. There was no other choice, so Victor had to compromise.
Only when Victor relented did Nalan Lengling realized how inappropriate her actions were. She hurriedly let go of Victor’s sleeve.
“w.a.n.g Cheng, aren’t you a little too radical? It’s exactly at times like this that you should be calmer. If the beast horde suddenly loses control, I won’t be able to save you!”
“Actually, I know what to do… forget it. Since senior sister doesn’t agree, then forget it.”
Victor waved his hand and continued, “Then we can only wait. When Gongye Yuyu and the others catch up, we will be able to figure out the mountain treasure’s true ident.i.ty.”
“Although we have lost the initiative, this is indeed a safer method.”
Nalan Lengling nodded and agreed with Victor’s method. Then, the two of them followed behind the beast horde and continued to explore.
Not long after, Gongye Yuyu, Huang Nanshuang, and the others finally arrived with their subordinates. They frowned as they looked at the high-level demon beasts that were continuously gathering.
“Three beast kings and countless high-level demon beasts. Young master, do you want to make a move?”
“Wait.”
Gongye Yuyu was unmoved. He sat on the wyrm horse and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“Young master, what are you waiting for?”
“A chance.”
Gongye Yuyu closed his eyes as he did not want to further explain.
Seeing this scene, the others could only shut their mouths obediently and stop asking.
“Hey! Gongye Yuyu, are you dead? The mountain treasure is just ahead. If you don’t make a move, I will get there first!”
Naturally, Huang Nanshuang did not care so much. She had lived in the Hundred Thousand Mountain for a long time, and her subordinates could be considered experts in dealing with demonic beasts!
Soon, more than ten core formation realm cultivators rushed out and formed a spell formation in an orderly manner. One could not tell that this group of people were actually a group of bandits who committed all kinds of evil deeds!
“How is it? Gongye Yuyu, in terms of strategy, I’m inferior to you, but in terms of control, you’re a thousand miles inferior to me!”
Huang Nanshuang glanced at Gongye Yuyu proudly before turning her head around to look at her carefully trained subordinates. They were crazily slaughtering the beast horde!
“It’s just a small trick, it’s not worth mentioning.”
Gongye Yuyu did not take Huang Nanshuang’s provocation to heart. Instead, he noticed Victor who was not far away.
This made Victor feel very strange.
‘I have clearly concealed my aura. Unless I took the initiative to expose myself, it would be very difficult for others to discover my traces.’
“Senior sister, how much do you know about this Gongye Yuyu?”
“I don’t know much about him. I’ve only heard rumors about him. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m just curious.”
Victor shook his head, not voicing the question in his heart.
How could a publicly recognized cultivation weakling, who relied on treasures and elixirs to acc.u.mulate his cultivation base, be able to see through Victor’s hiding?
Unless, Gongye Yuyu had deliberately concealed his own strength.
“Interesting, he really caught up.”
“What did young master say?”
“Nothing, I’m just suddenly a little curious about a little mouse. However, speaking of which, when I was away from the Central Plains Sect Alliance, Lin Hui died, right?”
“That’s right. Altar Master Lin died in White Dragon City. Besides, there are nine nascent soul realm cultivators in White Dragon City now. They are very powerful.”
“It’s good that she died. She has always thought of unrealistic dreams. Such a person won’t live long in the Central Plains Sect Alliance. In comparison, I’m more concerned about the new city lord, Wei Zihan.
“Wei Heng has six sons and three daughters, but this daughter who has no background is the new city lord. I’m very curious about how she did it.”
“I heard that a cultivator named Lin Bei joined Wei Zihan’s camp and helped her seize the city lord position.”
“Lin Bei? Where is he now?”
“After Wei Zihan became the city lord, he left. As for where he went, I don’t know.”
“He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. It seems that this Lin Bei is not ordinary.”
“Young master, why did you suddenly mention this matter?”
“It’s just to pa.s.s some time. Alright, send someone up. The Yellow Spring Bandit Clan is too slow-witted. I can’t wait any longer.”
“Yes, young master!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators behind Gongye Yuyu finally made their move. The battle became more and more intense!
However, this time, it was not just a one-sided ma.s.sacre!
As more and more high-level demon beasts entered the arena, and with three beast kings holding down the fort, the people from the Central Plains Sect Alliance and the Yellow Springs Bandit Clan were gradually exhausted.
Moreover, under the joint efforts of the three high-level demon beasts, some people were gradually injured, and there were even deaths!
But even so, Gongye Yuyu still remained unmoved, as if those people were not his subordinates, but his tools.
On the other hand, Huang Nanshuang was much more humane. She had repeatedly attacked and saved the lives of her subordinates.
“Gongye Yuyu, you are still as ruthless as before.”
“Kindness does not rule the army. After so many years, you still don’t understand such a simple principle.”
Gongye Yuyu glanced at Huang Nanshuang in disdain and continued, “15 years ago, I was ordered to encircle and annihilate the Yellow Springs Bandit Clan. I was just one step away from making the Yellow Springs Bandit Clan a part of history. But at the last moment, I withdrew my troops. Did you really think that I’m afraid of you?
“In three days, I’ve already reached the top of your Yellow Springs Bandit Clan’s mountain. It’s only a matter of time before I destroy all of you.
“To put it bluntly, it’s not that I can’t. It’s just that I don’t want to. So, in reality, you owe me a life.”
“What a joke. Don’t tell me that just because you didn’t kill me, I have to thank you? If that’s the case, since I can crush you a hundred times or a thousand times, then you also owe me a hundred or even a thousand lives?”
“But the truth is, you can’t kill me.”
Roar!
As the two of them exchanged t.i.t-for-tat words, a deafening sound suddenly rang out!
“The beast king has made his move…”
In the shadows, Victor, who had witnessed the entire process, frowned, and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that the beast group had fallen into a disadvantageous position, one of the three beast kings, the Soaring Serpent, finally made its move!
A huge python coiled up like a small mountain, raised its tongue, and stared coldly at everyone present with its vertical eyes.
It opened its huge mouth of the blood pool and with a single pounce, it devoured nearly ten people!
Following that, the Soaring Serpent spoke in human language. It looked at Gongye Yuyu and Huang Nanshuang and said coldly, “The mountain treasure is a treasure bestowed by the mountain G.o.d to our Demonic Beast Clan. We will not allow humans to get their hands on it!”
“We are just waiting for you to make your move. What a waste of time. Elder Bei, please.”
“Yes, young master. I will definitely not disappoint you!”
As the sound of his voice faded, an elder beside Gongye Yuyu flew out and took the initiative to meet the Soaring Serpent. In the blink of an eye, a human and a snake were engaged in a battle!
