328: The fisherman reaps the rewards

"Fellow Daoist Luo, these people are too presumptuous. Shall we send some people up to kill them?"

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Luo. This Pill Nurturing Hall is our spoils of war. Anyone who dares to covet it must die!!"

Seeing the Blue-Robed Elder standing there in a daze, the two Peak Quasi-Emperor powerhouses beside him helped kill a few dry corpses before staring with murderous intent at Night Owl and his group in the air.

Although Night Owl and his group lacked the cultivation to covet this Pill Nurturing Hall, for a few First Level Quasi-Emperors, along with some Saint King and Saint Emperor Cultivators, to hover above them—these Peak Quasi-Emperors—was a capital offense.

"Hmm, it is time to send someone up to establish our authority."

The Blue-Robed Elder nodded, a murderous look appearing in his eyes as he said.

"There were too many powerhouses wanting to reap the benefits earlier, so we couldn't spare the effort to eliminate them."

"Now that these few minor Quasi-Emperors and ants dare to hover above us so brazenly, we shall use their lives to establish authority for our team!!"

After speaking, the Blue-Robed Elder scanned his surroundings and shouted, "Which Fellow Daoists will go up and finish off these blind fellows?"

Hearing the Blue-Robed Elder's words, four Late Stage Quasi-Emperor Cultivators immediately rushed toward Night Owl and the ten people in the sky with mocking expressions.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Luo, just let the four of us handle these small fries."

"Right, right. It's just three First Level Quasi-Emperors and some Saint Emperors and Saint Kings. The four of us will finish the battle quickly; it won't affect our progress in clearing the dry corpses."

The moment their voices fell, the four of them appeared before Night Owl and the ten people. They scanned Night Owl and the others with amusement, then revealed cruel smiles.

"Hehehe! You few are also Quasi-Emperors, Saint Kings, and Saint Emperors, so how can you be so oblivious? To actually dare to hover above our heads, you truly deserve to die."

"That's right. With such high cultivation, you are still so ignorant. You truly deserve to die."

"Hehehe, stop wasting words with them. Hurry up and kill them; we still need to go down and prepare to distribute the Medicinal Pill."

After mocking them for a few sentences, the four raised their cultivation, preparing to finish off Night Owl and the ten people.

Seeing these four Late Stage Quasi-Emperors go up into the air, the Blue-Robed Elder and the others below did not pay much attention, instead focusing wholeheartedly on clearing the dry corpses.

After all, Night Owl and his group only had three First Level Quasi-Emperors. Using four Late Stage Quasi-Emperors to eliminate them was already an overwhelming force. Thus, Night Owl and the ten people were certain to die, and there was no need for them to keep watching.

"Heh, I haven't even gone down yet, but you have come up. In that case, I will take you all in."

Seeing these four Late Stage Quasi-Emperors fly up from the battlefield below to kill them, Night Owl revealed a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth. He unleashed his Slaughter Mist and enveloped them within it.

"Ahhhh!!" The instant the four were enveloped by the Slaughter Mist, shrill screams erupted from within.

As their screams ceased, the Slaughter Mist began to retract into Night Owl's body, causing him to reappear in the air.

"Hiss, what exactly is going on? Where are the four of them?"

"I don't know. I only heard four screams, and when I looked up, they were gone. Isn't this too bizarre?"

Hearing the screams from the air, some Cultivators in the Blue-Robed Elder's team looked at the sky in horror.

But before they could look for even a second longer, the Blue-Robed Elder's shout rang in their ears.

"Stop looking! Watch out for the dry corpses beside you!!"

"Ah! Dry corpses?"

The Cultivators who had been distracted by the screams in the air heard the Blue-Robed Elder's voice and immediately snapped back to reality, wanting to repel the dry corpses close to them.

But because they had been stunned for a moment, the dry corpses had already rushed to their sides, extending their hideous, sharp claws toward them.

"Ahhhh!!" As series of screams rang out, the Cultivators who had been attracted by the screams in the air let out shrill cries themselves, being torn to pieces on the spot by the dry corpses that had closed in.

"Damn it!!" Seeing these Cultivators killed by the dry corpses, the Blue-Robed Elder's expression turned ugly, and he roared aloud.

Because in that instant, over two hundred Saint Realm Cultivators and over a dozen Quasi-Emperors from the team had fallen. This was more than all the team members who had fallen before; the loss was truly massive.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, what should we do? Should we continue clearing the remaining dry corpses, or should we all go up and kill these fellows first?"

Seeing the Blue-Robed Elder so angry he was about to vomit blood, the Quasi-Emperor who had just suggested killing Night Owl and the others approached the Blue-Robed Elder, face full of shock, after blasting away the dry corpses around him, and asked.

He had previously suggested killing Night Owl and the others, thinking they were just a bunch of ordinary First Level Quasi-Emperors, Saint Kings, and Saint Emperors. He hadn't expected them to be such monsters, instantly killing four Late Stage Quasi-Emperor powerhouses and causing their team to suffer huge losses.

Now that they had made enemies of Night Owl and his group, they either had to abandon the dry corpses outside the Pill Nurturing Hall and go into the air to kill these monsters first, or keep clearing the dry corpses while guarding against sneak attacks, and settle scores with Night Owl and the others after clearing the corpses.

However, the Blue-Robed Elder was considered the temporary leader of their mixed team, so they had to see what he meant before they could act according to his instructions.

Facing the Quasi-Emperor's question, the Blue-Robed Elder suppressed the anger in his heart, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "We will clear the dry corpses first. As long as they don't launch sneak attacks, we will settle this score after clearing the dry corpses."

After the Blue-Robed Elder finished speaking, he channeled the power in his body with full force and attacked the remaining dry corpses around him.

It was not that he didn't want to take revenge on Night Owl and the others now, but there were still two or three thousand dry corpses outside this Pill Nurturing Hall. If they withdrew to go into the air to kill Night Owl and the others, these dry corpses would chase after them, and they would be attacked from both sides.

Therefore, as long as Night Owl and the others didn't launch sneak attacks, the best approach was to finish clearing the dry corpses first and then take revenge on them.

"Good, we will listen to Fellow Daoist Luo. Once we clear the dry corpses, we will avenge the fallen team members!" Hearing the Blue-Robed Elder's decision, the questioning Quasi-Emperor agreed loudly and turned to attack the nearby dry corpses.

Although there were still two or three thousand dry corpses outside the Pill Nurturing Hall, most were Saint Realm and Venerable Realm dry corpses; there were not many left at the Quasi-Emperor level.

With their team's current strength of over two hundred Quasi-Emperors and over three hundred Saint Realm Cultivators, they would soon be able to clear these dry corpses.

Once the dry corpses were cleared, it would be the death date of Night Owl and his group. After all, with so many people, even if everyone used just one move, they would blast Night Owl and the others into slag.

"Tsk tsk! Senior Brother Gu, they can really endure it. They are actually still clearing the dry corpses and not coming immediately to take revenge on us." Seeing the Blue-Robed Elder and the others below only get angry for a while before continuing to clear the dry corpses, Gu Chen leaned toward Night Owl and teased with a laugh.

"Heh! It's best they don't come up. Once they finish clearing the dry corpses, it will save me from having to kill those useless things." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Night Owl glanced down at the Blue-Robed Elder and the others who were battling the dry corpses, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on his face.

He had no interest in killing those dry corpses. Because those dry corpses were already dead, he couldn't gain any nourishment from killing them.

Therefore, compared to those dry corpses, he wanted to finish off the Blue-Robed Elder and the others even more, as that would make his Slaughter Mist increasingly powerful.

But now that the Blue-Robed Elder and the others were not coming up to take revenge, he had no reason to make a move for the moment. After all, Jiang Chen had told him to keep his heart and not kill innocents indiscriminately. Since the Blue-Robed Elder and the others weren't coming to take revenge, it wasn't easy for him to just make a move.

Seeing that the people below were not moving, Night Owl did not say he wanted to go down and pick up scraps. Chu Feng, Mu Xueqing, and the others hovered in the air with leisurely expressions, starting to chat idly.

Seeing this, Sha Xiaomeng was confused and muttered to Sand Sable via voice transmission, "Brother, are we just going to stay in the air like this and wait for others to kill us? At least hide for a bit, and then when they aren't paying attention, catch them off guard."

According to normal logic, when facing so many powerhouses, even if Night Owl possessed the strength to instantly kill a Late Stage Quasi-Emperor, one should first avoid their sharp edge and then slowly nibble away at them.

Now that they were just hovering in the air so arrogantly, waiting for hundreds of people to come up and kill them, she really couldn't understand it.

Looking at Sha Xiaomeng's puzzled little expression, Sand Sable chuckled and transmitted, "Little sister, Fellow Daoist Ye and the others are powerful. Doing this must mean they have the confidence. Let's not worry about it; just follow along and distribute the detoxification pill."

Although he also couldn't understand why Night Owl and the others had to be so arrogant when facing so many powerhouses, since Night Owl and the others weren't afraid, he and his sister could only accompany the gentlemen at the risk of their lives.

Only in this way could they continue to cling to Night Owl and his group's thighs until they left the ruins.

Night Owl and the others in the air were waiting leisurely. The Blue-Robed Elder and the others below were also not idle, instead channeling their cultivation with full force, blasting and killing the dry corpses one by one.

As these dry corpses fell, the number of dry corpses became fewer and fewer, and soon only a hundred or so remained.

When these last hundred or so dry corpses were also killed, the dry corpses outside the Pill Nurturing Hall were all cleared by the Blue-Robed Elder and the others, and they could break the Formation at any time to enter the Pill Nurturing Hall and retrieve the Medicinal Pill.

"Heh, you have finally finished killing these useless things. You have kept me waiting for quite a while!"
