Chapter 131: I'm Saving You
It was not about level; it was the suppression of bloodlines.
Guang Xiaoyu showed a proud smile. "Still dare to make a move?"
The Mythical Beast remained silent.
She sized up the small space. Though full of vitality, it always seemed to lack something.
Not far away, there was a hillock, not very tall. Atop the hillock was a solitary grave. Presumably... that fellow was buried under that lonely tomb.
She walked over. After observing for a long time, her brows furrowed and unfurrowed with indecision. Should she dig it up directly?
The owner of this solitary grave was obviously not some unparalleled powerful being.
In the end, she made her decision. She dug up the lonely grave, and a plain coffin came into view.
Upon opening it, she saw a young man in green lying inside. His body was uncorrupted and quite lifelike, except... it lacked vitality.
However, within his Divine Sense, there was activity—eager and restless.
With Guang Xiaoyu's experience of over a hundred thousand years, she could tell at a glance that he wanted to resurrect himself once again using the Forbidden Power of Luo God Mountain.
Quite ambitious.
Unfortunately, from ancient times to the present, very few had succeeded. He was neither a pioneer nor a Great Emperor, and certainly not a Sage. Furthermore, having existed for such a short time, how could he possibly be resurrected?
Guang Xiaoyu casually replaced the coffin lid and reburied it, murmuring to herself, "No opportunity here."
Beyond this special space, so-called Great Opportunities hardly existed.
Or the legendary great tombs... this isn't one of them.
"I ask you!" she came to the Mythical Beast. "Is there a King of Medicine inside Luo God Mountain?"
The Mythical Beast looked bewildered.
Doesn't it know?
She, too, had only heard of it after entering Luo God Mountain. The King of Medicine was of great value. If it appeared, it would surely cause a terrible sensation. That was also the reason she had come here, regardless of everything else.
Surpassing the tenth rank, it had birthed Spiritual Intelligence. If well nurtured, it might even transform.
"It is said that there is a great tomb within Luo God Mountain. Is it true?" Guang Xiaoyu asked again.
This time, the Mythical Beast nodded.
Her face lit up with joy. "Where is it?"
The Mythical Beast pointed in a certain direction. It was towards the deeper regions of Luo God Mountain, home to powerful, slumbering Mythical Beasts—sixth-order, seventh-order, even eighth-order. These all far surpassed the strongest combat forces of the Human Clan Cultivators of the Heaven Martial Continent.
There really is one!
Guang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes. "Alright, I'll trust you this once. If I can't find that great tomb, I'll come back and kill you."
The Mythical Beast remained silent.
After saying this, she left the place.
But she did not know that, at the moment she left, the young man in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes.
「Below.」
Someone exclaimed, "She's down!"
"So soon?" someone else asked. "It can't be, right?"
From the time Guang Xiaoyu had gone up until then, only about ten minutes had passed.
Isn't that too quick? Is there no Great Opportunity up there, or has she already obtained it? Thinking this, everyone's eyes burned with desire.
Guang Xiaoyu returned to Liu Yuhui's side and said, "Let's go! We'll search for the Great Opportunity together!"
She wasn't one to hold grudges, let alone have any significant animosity towards Liu Yuhui; she simply didn't like his dithering nature. Besides, when searching for a Great Opportunity, how could one not bring companions?
Liu Yuhui was panic-stricken. Before he could fully recover, Guang Xiaoyu pulled him away.
After they had walked some distance, she rolled her eyes and said, "Silly boy, I'm saving you. There's a big problem back there."
Her cultivation experience spanning hundreds of thousands of years told her that places that were too calm often hid terrifying dangers.
Her guess was correct.
Ten minutes after the two of them left, the Mythical Beast broke free of its restraints and charged down from the mountain peak.
At that moment, the green-clad young man came back to life, enveloped in an aura of death, like a demon emerging.
"AH! Damn it! How could this happen?" Someone screamed, their face pale. A huge hand from a Mythical Beast had pierced through their body, and blood was streaming all over them.
"It must have been that little girl! She must have released the Mythical Beast!"
"It's Demon cultivators! That one is a Demon cultivator! Everyone, run!"
The slaughter became increasingly terrifying.
And all this had nothing to do with Guang Xiaoyu anymore. She was dashing with Liu Yuhui deep into Luo God Mountain.
Behind them was a group of people: Bai Yunfei and the Bai Family powerhouses.
The Saintess followed closely.
Liu Changqing was also in the group.
The two unparalleled geniuses were very vigilant. After Guang Xiaoyu left, they followed. Hearing the commotion behind them, both were startled, then they smiled and said, "Sure enough, there's a problem."
"Kill her on sight," Bai Yunfei ordered.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, several hours had gone by.
Whether by luck or misfortune, Guang Xiaoyu and Liu Yuhui stumbled upon The King of Medicine. It was a simple-looking blade of grass, an almost ethereal green, and pulsed with life. Its leaves even had a flickering radiance, giving it an air of sanctity.
Seeing this, Liu Yuhui's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. "The King of Medicine! The legendary King of Medicine! Oh my heavens..." He was too excited to remain calm.
In contrast, Guang Xiaoyu quickly grabbed him.
In the dense forest, ancient trees were immense, blocking out the sun and casting the area in shadow. The air, thick with the smell of decay, gave one the feeling of stepping into a primeval forest. And yet, it was very quiet all around them.
Guang Xiaoyu calmed down, sensing something was amiss.
"She's stopped," the maidservant whispered. "Miss, The King of Medicine…"
The Saintess remained silent.
「Elsewhere!」
Liu Changqing also marveled, thinking the girl's luck was genuinely good. Inside Luo God Mountain, The King of Medicine had always been a legend, almost never seen. Yet, it appeared as soon as she arrived. If this wasn't luck, what was it?
Having pursued them this far, Bai Yunfei smirked, his eyes chillingly cold as he uttered a single word: "Kill!"
He had brought a group of King Tao powerhouses with him, all formidable in strength. If they attacked together, they could certainly slay Guang Xiaoyu. And he had only one target: The King of Medicine.
The Bai Family powerhouses ambushed them from the shadows, instantly launching a barrage of attacks that threatened to overwhelm them.
Guang Xiaoyu reacted swiftly, pulling Liu Yuhui back from the battlefield. "Don't get close to The King of Medicine!"
Just as she'd expected, other powerful cultivators had followed them in secret. Upon seeing The King of Medicine, they could no longer hold back and struck immediately. In just a single minute, at least seven or eight powerful cultivators joined the battle.
Bai Yunfei, who had been the first to appear, was now spitting blood. The King of Medicine was within reach—almost attainable at arm's length. Yet suddenly, another group charged out, blocking his way. His expression was grave and particularly unsightly.
"Damn it, these people really are relentless!" Guang Xiaoyu wiped away a bead of cold sweat. It's a good thing I didn't approach The King of Medicine, or I might have exposed Hei.
After all, she was only in the Supreme Mystery Realm now and had not yet stepped into the King Tao realm. Naturally, she was unable to contend with these people.
But she, too, was "relentless." Despite a group of people chasing to kill her, she never left the area, continually circling The King of Medicine while dodging their attacks.
Liu Yuhui was exclaiming in alarm, almost scared witless.
"Shut up!" Guang Xiaoyu snapped. "Can't you be quiet for a moment?"
WHIMPER!
Liu Yuhui felt wronged. "Sister, they're here to kill you!"
"I know that!"
So? You don't plan to let me go? You're going to drag me along with you while we run? Liu Yuhui's eyes widened, looking even more aggrieved.
Guang Xiaoyu said irritably, "What are you afraid of? Can't you be a bit more steadfast? You're a man, aren't you?"
Liu Yuhui was speechless.
"How on earth did the Luminous Sword Sect accept a novice like you?" Guang Xiaoyu glanced towards the chaotic battle for The King of Medicine, where cultivators continued to clash.
She planned to leave the immediate area, use the Abyss Sword Dao within Hei to slay her formidable pursuers, and then return to snatch The King of Medicine.
However, just then, The King of Medicine suddenly ran towards them!
Guang Xiaoyu was stunned.
