NOVEL WEB Chapter 133: Kid, You're in Luck
A pioneer's tomb suddenly exploded, and The King of Medicine appeared... Several hours later, another large tomb was unearthed in the deeper parts of Luo God Mountain...
The entire Luo God Mountain turned into a chaotic mess.
Powerful cultivators from major factions were making their moves, and young prodigies were also seeking their own destined opportunities.
Of course, many severely injured youths fled Luo God Mountain in droves.
"Fellow Daoist, what happened inside?" Chen Pingping stopped someone to inquire.
"Just run!" The young man's face was pale; he glanced at Chen Pingping and left without turning his head.
"Fellow Daoist?" He stopped a second person.
"It's terrifying! A pioneer has been resurrected, shrouded in Demonic Qi..."
Along the way, people were fleeing.
From their fragmented words, Chen Pingping pieced together the situation on Luo God Mountain: pioneers, The King of Medicine, large tombs...
Prince Qi, by his side, instantly became visibly unsettled.
Zi Ji was also full of worry. "Senior Brother, are we really going in?"
"Let's observe the situation first," Chen Pingping said.
「Not long after.」
The trio arrived at the pioneer's burial place. The mountain had already exploded, turning into innumerable giant rocks scattered across the landscape. There were also many terrifying traces of battle, including skeletons on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, one could sense the Demonic Qi within their bodies.
The pioneers had undergone Demonization.
He frowned. "It seems a lot of fighting has happened."
Prince Qi was apprehensive. "Perhaps... I should wait for you outside?" He truly didn't dare to go in, fearing he might get caught up in the slaughter.
Chen Pingping smiled. "Is Prince Qi sure he doesn't want to seek a Great Opportunity?"
Prince Qi was speechless.
Seeing his demeanor, Chen Pingping had no choice but to relent. "That's fine then!" He wasn't keen on bringing Prince Qi along anyway; if a fight occurred, he would likely have to reveal his true strength.
Prince Qi staggered away.
The two continued deeper.
They didn't know how long they walked when more terrifying traces of battle gradually came into view.
From the accounts of cultivators who fled from the depths of Luo God Mountain, Chen Pingping learned that someone had obtained The King of Medicine and was being pursued by a group of people, especially the Bai Family.
"Who?" Chen Pingping was taken aback.
"It seems their name was... Guang... umm..."
"Guang Xiaoyu, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's her! That girl is just unlucky. The King of Medicine burrowed right into her embrace in full view of everyone. If it were any other time, it might have been fine, but now..."
Normally, no one would enter Luo God Mountain, so Guang Xiaoyu obtaining The King of Medicine would have been safe. But the situation was different now; powerful cultivators from major factions and young prodigies were all present.
Chen Pingping remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the depths of Luo God Mountain.
Zi Ji whispered, "Is it Senior Sister?"
"Mm," he affirmed.
"Then, should we go save her?" Zi Ji asked again. With so many people chasing her, if they arrive late, it might be...
Chen Pingping remained silent.
***
Deep within! KILL!
Overwhelming shouts of "KILL!" thundered from behind them.
Guang Xiaoyu's nerves were taut, and Liu Yuhui by her side was just as tense, extremely anxious and fearful.
But for some reason, after fleeing for so long, Guang Xiaoyu no longer felt that tension. Instead, a rush of excitement filled her, and her dark eyes glinted with a hint of madness.
Yes, that's right!
She had lived for over a hundred thousand years, advancing triumphantly, an unparalleled prodigy who crushed her peers. She had been invincible from a very early age.
In all those long years, no one had ever hunted her.
Who would have thought that in this new life, after being slandered and pursued by such a large group, how could she not be excited?
Several countermeasures surfaced in her mind.
First, turn around and counter-attack.
After some thought, that seemed unlikely.
She had not yet stepped into the King Tao realm. The little black dog's abilities were probably limited, and Liu Yuhui beside her was a typical blockhead, possessing no combat power whatsoever.
Second, set up a formation!
As soon as this idea occurred to her, she felt a wave of frustration.
Her cultivation realm was too low. The powerful Arrays and forbidden techniques in her mind were impossible to deploy. Besides, she currently had no time to make prior arrangements.
Third, use the dangers lurking in the depths of Luo God Mountain to pick off her pursuers one by one.
Guang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes, extended her Divine Sense, identified a direction, and sped off.
It was a swamp.
Years of experience told her that swamps deep within forbidden zones always harbored terrifying beasts.
"Don't!" Liu Yuhui exclaimed, his face paling in horror as he spotted the swamp from afar. "Don't go in..."
Alas, it was too late!
Guang Xiaoyu, carrying him, leaped and landed in the swamp.
BANG!
A colossal force, as heavy as Mount Tai, pressed down on them, slamming their bodies hard into the mire.
Guang Xiaoyu cursed under her breath.
Liu Yuhui struggled desperately.
The powerful cultivators chasing them hesitated slightly upon seeing the swamp, clearly aware of its dangers.
Of course, many charged straight in, including experts from the Bai Family.
Bai Yunfei, however, halted. "Guang Xiaoyu," he sneered, "let's see how you run this time!"
SPLASH!
Just then, The King of Medicine in Guang Xiaoyu's arms suddenly darted out, attempting to escape.
Seeing this, Guang Xiaoyu sneered, "You've already come this far, and you still think you can run?"
Her guess was correct; this King of Medicine was unusual.
All spirits of heaven and earth possessing a certain degree of Spiritual Intelligence would flee at the first sight of Human Clan cultivators.
But The King of Medicine hadn't.
The current predicament was also a result of The King of Medicine's actions.
Guang Xiaoyu was certain that someone was secretly using The King of Medicine to lure her into a deadly trap.
BANG!
She slapped out, snatching The King of Medicine back. "Still trying to leave?"
The King of Medicine struggled fiercely, but her hand seemed to possess a billion jun of Power Path, giving it no chance to break free, instead holding it firmly in place.
"Kid, you're in luck," Guang Xiaoyu grinned. "Although there are terrifying beasts deep in the swamp, there are also many unimaginable Great Opportunities. Stick with your big sister, and you can't go wrong!"
The Demon Emperor's Divine Sense spread out, pinpointing the locations of lurking beasts, which she then deftly avoided one by one.
Before they knew it, they had reached the depths of the swamp.
But those following them weren't so fortunate; they startled the beasts and became their food.
「After a while...」
Guang Xiaoyu found a Spiritual Medicine bearing a flower bud. She didn't know its name, but that clearly didn't matter. It was likely around the fifth grade.
"You eat it!" she said nonchalantly.
Liu Yuhui's eyes widened. "I just... eat it directly?"
"What's with all the talk?" Guang Xiaoyu scolded. "Can't you show some backbone? It's just a fifth-grade Spiritual Medicine."
Just a fifth-grade? Liu Yuhui's heart leaped. This big sister is truly generous.
But then again, it makes sense—after all, she's holding The King of Medicine!
He no longer stood on ceremony and swallowed the Spiritual Medicine in one gulp. A boundless wave of Vitality Power and Spirit Qi spread through him, instantly alleviating his fatigue.
「Soon.」
They found another Spiritual Medicine, also fifth-grade.
"Eat it!" Guang Xiaoyu said.
Liu Yuhui said timidly, "I've already eaten one. Can I not eat this one? I want to keep it."
"Keep it for what?" She glanced askance at him. "Harvesting spiritual herbs from heaven and earth is a very particular art. We've pulled this one up roots and all. If it's not processed quickly, its Vitality Power and Spirit Qi will rapidly dissipate. Don't you understand?"
Liu Yuhui opened his mouth slightly, unsure how to refute. Helpless, he could only eat it. "If we find more Spiritual Medicine later, can we process them properly?"
"No time!" Guang Xiaoyu stated.
Liu Yuhui was speechless.
Sigh... He lamented inwardly.
「Elsewhere.」
Bai Yunfei, who had followed them in, despite his caution, still managed to awaken a terrifying beast. He was chased for tens of miles, ending up in a wretched state.
After narrowly escaping with his life, Bai Yunfei's face was stiff. He ground his teeth and spat, "Good. Very good, Guang Xiaoyu!"
