101: Chapter 101 The Jade Demon King

Chen Changqing and the other seven waited for a while longer. During this time, only one other Foundation Establishment Cultivator successfully slaughtered a Ghost Lizard, while the other two had not yet completed their task.

Watching time tick away minute by minute, everyone began to grow anxious.

"Senior Moxuan, have Fellow Daoist Cheng and Fellow Daoist Hong still not killed that Tier 2 Medium Grade Ghost Lizard?" asked a middle-aged burly man hovering not far from Chen Changqing. He was born with a fierce look, but facing Master Moxuan, that fierce appearance looked extremely respectful at the moment.

Hearing this, Master Moxuan did not offer an explanation, but instead continued to extend his Divine Sense to observe the situation inside Ziteng Mountain. Those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were originally close to slaying that Tier 2 Medium Grade Ghost Lizard, but it ultimately escaped. The two of them hurriedly followed after it, and then as they followed, they disappeared. Logically speaking, Ziteng Mountain was not that large. Although the pollen suppressed his Divine Sense, it should not have completely prevented him from detecting the two people's situation.

Strange!

Seeing that Master Moxuan ignored him, the middle-aged burly man did not dare to utter a single word of complaint and obediently waited on the side.

"Give it another quarter of an hour; if the two of them still haven't returned, we will withdraw immediately," Master Moxuan instructed. He had a bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that the Yao Race had prepared for this long in advance? Clearly, no one should have known about this operation of theirs.

The time of a quarter of an hour passed in a flash, and everyone's expressions turned gloomy. No matter what, two Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators dealing with a Tier 2 Medium Grade Ghost Lizard shouldn't take such a long time, especially since Hong Jing's cultivation had already reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. Or could it be that they had fallen into an ambush?

"Let's go." Master Moxuan said no more, turning around to leave with the rest of the people toward another direction.

Not long after they left, a Ghost Lizard walked out from the cave opening where Hong Jing and the other person had penetrated earlier. Its aura was extremely terrifying, having reached the tier 3 level.

It turned its head and returned inside the cave. Inside the cave, two corpses whose flesh and blood had already been carved up and devoured by a group of Ghost Lizards were unmistakably those of Hong Jing and Cheng Lin.

...

Over the next few days, the tasks of Chen Changqing and the others were completed very smoothly, making them think that the accident encountered on the first day at Ziteng Mountain might truly have been an accident. Yet, that lingering palpitation at the time had felt so real.

However, over these past few days, they had uprooted a total of three strongholds of the Yao Race, killing one Tier 3 Yao Beast and eleven Tier 2 Yao Beasts.

The most dangerous time was precisely at Henghe Mountain, where that Tier 3 Three-Eyed Demonic Rat resided. At that time, besides this Tier 3 Low Grade Three-Eyed Demonic Rat, there were also five Tier 2 Two-Eyed Demonic Rats, as well as over a thousand One-Eyed Demonic Rats.

Even though Master Moxuan acted in time to deal with that Three-Eyed Demonic Rat, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were still killed by it.

Now there were only seven people left of them.

Having arrived in the rear of the Yao Race for just a few short days, although the battle results achieved had exceeded their expectations, the casualties were also heavy. Fortunately, Master Moxuan's strength was extremely formidable; even that Three-Eyed Demonic Rat could not last thirty rounds in his hands, which made them somewhat fortunate.

They found an Immortal Cave to rest and regroup, and then Master Moxuan designated the next mission.

When Chen Changqing and the others arrived, they had each obtained two Tier 2 High Grade Magical Artifacts, two bottles of Tier 2 High Grade Gathering Yuan Pills, and three Tier 2 High Grade Talismans.

However, most of them had consumed quite a bit over these past few days. After all, fighting in the rear left them with hardly much time to recover their Qi.

The next day, everyone's spiritual power had basically recovered, and only then did Master Moxuan state the next mission.

"Our next destination is Jinyuan Mountain. There is a Tier 3 Spiritual Vein here, which means a Tier 3 Yao Beast is stationed here."

"What? Another Tier 3 Yao Beast?" a red-haired Foundation Establishment Cultivator said in shock. The danger of that previous Henghe Mountain was still vivid in his mind, and he truly couldn't figure out why Master Moxuan would choose a Tier 3 Spiritual Vein as the next mission again.

Aside from Chen Changqing, the expressions of the other few people were also very solemn. Presumably, the last time had truly had a massive impact on them.

Master Moxuan had the highest cultivation and the strongest strength, so naturally, he would not change his decision simply because others objected.

Moreover, if he didn't kill more Tier 3 Yao Beasts now, as long as the Human Race was defeated in the upcoming war, they would undoubtedly die as well.

Furthermore, another team happened to choose to attack Jinyuan Mountain. He had previously sensed that other team through a jade pendant and discussed joining forces with their Purple Mansion Master to attack Jinyuan Mountain together.

He informed everyone of this point. Hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief in their hearts. As long as it wasn't just the few of them going, since there was another team, taking down Jinyuan Mountain together wouldn't be much of a problem.

"Since no one has any objections, we set off now. Fellow Daoist Cangfeng's team will arrive at Jinyuan Mountain in three days."

After saying this, Master Moxuan was the first to leave the spot, transforming into a streak of escaping light as he flew away.

The few people looked at each other and also followed toward Jinyuan Mountain.

As for Chen Changqing, he silently followed behind the crowd, estimating the level of danger of this trip in his heart.

Over these past few days, although the dangers encountered were not very large, the Yao Race could by no means be completely unprepared—especially since these past few days had been extremely smooth, so smooth that even when they encountered Yao Race reinforcements, they still managed to escape.

...

Dozens of Tier 4 Yao Kings had all gathered at Zhenyang Mountain. As their most important stronghold, Zhenyang Mountain not only usually had a dozen or so Yao Kings stationed there, but even Great Demon King Tianyan was also at this place.

"Hehe! This group of Human Race Cultivators truly thinks we are unprepared. When they continue to penetrate deeper, we will catch turtles in a jar, wipe them all out, and see just how despairing the Human Race on the front lines will be then."

"Hahahaha, it is said that there are also three Golden Core Masters leading the team. I really want to taste the flavor of Golden Core Masters! It's been so long since I last tasted it, hahaha."

Just as these Yao Kings were feeling smug, the teleportation magic array outside abruptly lit up with a white light far surpassing anything before.

"What is this?" These Yao Kings were somewhat puzzled.

On the other hand, Great Demon King Tianyan on the main seat had a calm gaze, as if he had anticipated this long ago.

After the white light completely dissipated, an emerald-green figure stood poised right in the center of the magic array.

The newcomer exuded a natural aristocratic aura all over her body, wearing an emerald-green long dress with her green hair coiled up. As she walked into the main hall, every step was so light and measured, and every movement conformed to proper rules without appearing overly carved or artificial.

"Fellow Daoist Tianyan, long time no see." As soon as she spoke, her magnetic voice spread to every Yao King, making them feel intoxicated in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoist Emerald, long time no see," Great Demon King Tianyan said calmly.

The beautiful woman before them was precisely one of the Great Demon Kings of the Emerald Demon Nation, the Emerald Great Demon King.

That group of Yao Kings finally broke free from their intoxicated expressions.

"This is?" some Yao Kings asked in puzzlement.

"Old Ancestor Emerald." A Yao King of the Emerald Swan Clan, who also belonged to the Emerald Demon Nation, immediately bowed in salute.

Hearing this, the rest of the Yao Kings also respectfully bowed in unison.
