161: Chapter 161 Python Eagle Forest

This figure, covered entirely in blood and filth, after lying in silence for who knows how long, suddenly trembled twice. Then, the tightly closed eyes slowly opened a slit.

Rustle!

Hearing the rustling sound of wind through trees by his ears, Ning Yuan couldn't help but pull his lips into a bitter smile. Just where had that damn Spatial Storm brought him?

He had already lost consciousness within the Spatial Rift, not even knowing how he had arrived here. Being able to keep his life in such a dangerous situation was already an immense stroke of luck; how could he dare ask for more?

His body had been ravaged by the Rebounding Force, and the internal injuries were extremely severe, leaving Ning Yuan without even the strength to stand up. For now, the plan was to recover from his injuries before considering anything else.

With a thought, a sixth-grade life-restoring pill flashed into existence. He then shakily picked up the pill and slowly brought it to his mouth. Even this simple action made him feel a piercing, heart-wrenching pain.

If it weren't for the protection of the lingyun armor this time, his fate would likely have been the same as those two Yao Race members, ultimately reduced to a pile of fragments!

"Finally feeling much better!"

Feeling the medicinal potency dissolving within his body, the pain on his body rapidly diminished. He immediately sighed with relief in his heart. It had to be said, a sixth-grade elixir truly had remarkable effects!

Using a life-restoring pill to heal injuries at the Nascent Soul cultivation level—Ning Yuan was probably the only one in the world so extravagant. Even if a Void Refining Cultivator were severely injured, a single life-restoring pill could restore most of their condition.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the injuries all over his body were basically healed. Ning Yuan immediately flipped over and stood up, then released his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings. After surveying the terrain, his eyebrows raised, and a flash of strange color passed through his eyes:

"This is... the Nine Profound Realm!"

Who would have thought that through a series of coincidences, he would come to the Nine Profound Realm in this manner, and right at the border between the Ninth Division, the Feathered Eagle Clan, and the Eighth Division, the Blood Python Tribe. This dense forest was named the Python Eagle Forest.

The conflicts between the two divisions were numerous, and major battles often erupted within the Python Eagle Forest, staining the rivers with blood.

All this information was learned from those three Yao Race members of the Feathered Eagle Clan; otherwise, Ning Yuan wouldn't have been able to recognize this place at a glance.

The Nine Profound Realm was led by the nine Yao Race divisions, along with other slightly weaker Yao Race groups. Each division had a Void Refinement Demon Clan member overseeing it, and the number of Yao Race members below the Void Refining level was countless—truly a place where the strong were as numerous as clouds.

Among the nine divisions, the Feathered Eagle Clan and the Blood Python Tribe were considered the weakest, ranked only ninth and eighth. This was solely because each division had only one Void Refining Cultivator, and both were only at the Early Stage Void Refining level.

"So next, it's off to the Feathered Eagle Clan!"

After determining the direction, Ning Yuan's figure flashed as he sped towards the direction of the Feathered Eagle Clan. Although the process of arriving in the Nine Profound Realm wasn't pleasant, at least it was a close call without actual disaster.

Next was to covertly infiltrate the Feathered Eagle Clan, find a way to discover the location of the spring of life, and all without drawing attention. Otherwise, he would face pursuit from the Yao Race.

To achieve his goal silently, Ning Yuan already had a plan in mind. Everything could officially begin once he reached the Feathered Eagle Clan.

Along the way, Ning Yuan detected many signs of clashes, all battles between members of the two divisions. To avoid trouble, he kept his distance and evaded them.

But sometimes, the more you try to avoid it, the more trouble seeks you out!

"Hey! That little eagle over there, where do you think you're running to?"

Suddenly, a furious roar came from the right, followed by the Aura of a Peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator pressing down on Ning Yuan. Cursing inwardly, Ning Yuan hurriedly flapped his wings and swiftly shot forward.

Glancing back, he saw a Yao Race member covered in dark red scales rapidly closing in on him. Its eyes flashed with cold light, its hideous snake head hissing as it flicked a blood-red tongue. Its chilling serpentine pupils firmly locked onto Ning Yuan's figure.

"Damnable reptile..."

Watching the relentless Blood Python, Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed. If he didn't have to hide his identity, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator would be dealt with in a single move. Why would he have to flee sodisheveledly?

"Hehehe, what a slippery little eagle. But thinking you can escape from this lord's grasp? You're still far from it!"

The Blood Python's speed suddenly increased by a few degrees. It let out a series of strange laughs as it rapidly closed the distance with Ning Yuan.

Seeing it was about to catch up, Ning Yuan dared not hold back any longer. The spiritual power within his body circulated at extreme speed, and his figure instantly shot forward, putting distance between him and the Blood Python once again.

The Blood Python stared at Ning Yuan, who had fled several miles away, and was momentarily stunned. This wasn't speed a Mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator should possess. It grinned and laughed:

"So you've been hiding your strength. Then I absolutely cannot let you go. This is no small Military Merit!"

This Military Merit could be exchanged for cultivation resources within the tribe, calculated based on the slain enemy's cultivation level. The higher the cultivation, the greater the merit earned, and thus the more resources that could be exchanged.

So, for this Military Merit right before his eyes, the Blood Python would not let it slip away no matter what. As for danger, he had never considered it. With his Peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator strength, dealing with a Mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator should be as easy as reaching out and grabbing it.

Whoosh!

Subsequently, the Blood Python's speed instantly surged, even surpassing Ning Yuan's current speed by a few degrees, erupting with an ear-piercing Sonic Boom.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Ning Yuan's expression immediately turned cold, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes. Since you're seeking death, then don't blame me!

"Then I'll send you on your way!"

Seeing the Blood Python charging violently towards him, Ning Yuan instead sneered. He raised his head, scanning the surroundings once, then swiftly flew towards a certain direction, slowing his speed slightly to give the Blood Python a sense of waning strength.

The Python Eagle Forest had many eyes and was crowded; naturally, he needed to choose a secluded place to act. Moreover, this location wasn't in the same direction as the Spatial Tunnel's exit. If Yu Bei's identity appeared here, it would clearly beunreasonable.

Seeing Ning Yuan change direction, the Blood Python harbored no suspicion, thinking he was simply fleeing in panic. Situations like this had happened before when hunting Feathered Eagles.

In the end, they all died by his hand, without exception!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the two of them sped along, they moved farther and farther from the Python Eagle Forest. Whether the Blood Python was brimming with confidence in his own strength or simply failed to detect Ning Yuan's intent, he relentlessly pursued all the way.

Before long, a rather perilous mountain peak rose abruptly ahead. On the mountain was a massive fissure, forming a canyon approximately a dozen zhang in size.

Immediately, Ning Yuan shot towards the canyon, disappearing into it in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, the Blood Python naturally followed closely behind, entering the canyon.

After landing in the canyon, he saw Ning Yuan looking at him with a completely calm expression, not a trace of panic or alarm. Especially that gaze, as if looking at a dead man, made him feel somewhat uneasy.

But remembering his own strength, he cast the unease in his heart aside, even feeling a bit like laughing. To have such a feeling when facing a Mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator—he really was regressing with age.
