35: Chapter 35 Monster Siege
Qin Miaoyi, Wu Ji, and the others marched forward in a grand procession, making no attempt to conceal their cultivation Auras, which quickly attracted the attention of quite a few Yao Beasts.
"Chirp!"
The forest trembled as a flock of fiery red giant birds rushed out from ahead, emitting sharp, ear-piercing cries as they descended upon the group.
Wu Ji tossed his hair, striking a dashing pose before Qin Miaoyi, and repeatedly drew his bow and notched arrows. One by one, the sharp arrows, trailing brilliant light, shot down the Yao Beasts.
However, Qin Miaoyi did not even glance at Wu Ji, turning instead to look at Ji Taichang, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.
Earlier, she had heard Qin Wenhua's praise of Ji Taichang and was quite curious, wanting to witness Ji Taichang's strength for herself.
Yet Ji Taichang merely crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking as if he were watching a show, with no intention of making a move.
Soon.
Wu Ji, with his own strength, shot down dozens of formidable Yao Beasts.
But when he turned back, he saw Qin Miaoyi staring at Ji Taichang, her expression showing a mix of anticipation and regret, clearly revealing a shift in her emotions.
Wu Ji's face instantly darkened.
He had been putting on a performance here for so long, and yet Qin Miaoyi was staring at a servant instead?
Wu Ji calmly glanced at Ji Taichang, only to find that apart from looking somewhat fierce, there was nothing special about him.
Wu Ji couldn't help but snort coldly, a hint of chill entering his eyes.
The group continued to advance.
Although they encountered many aggressive Yao Beasts along the way, in the face of two top experts like Qin Miaoyi and Wu Ji, ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beasts were no match and were all slain by them.
Not to mention that Qin Miaoyi brought over fifty subordinates, and Wu Ji brought twelve, which was also a very powerful combat force.
In this manner, the group pushed all the way into the depths of Mount Kongo.
Ji Taichang didn't even need to make a move, easily blending into the crowd and slacking off.
But the situation soon took a turn for the worse.
"Awoo!"
Accompanied by a roar, the forest rustled and shook as hundreds, if not thousands, of wolf Yao appeared from all directions, surrounding the group tightly.
High in the air, a large flock of diverse giant birds emerged, circling above the group with fierce, malevolent eyes.
The group had caused too much of a commotion while fighting their way into the depths of Mount Kongo, attracting a massive siege of Yao Beasts!
"Form up!"
Qin Miaoyi's voice was cold and composed as she issued the order immediately; her fifty-plus subordinates scattered at once to form a battle formation.
Wu Ji also put away his arrogance, his expression becoming slightly solemn.
This was because the number of Yao Beasts was not small, and among them were a few terrifying great Yao at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which made even him feel some pressure.
Ji Taichang, however, did not care about this group of Yao Beasts at all, instead looking toward a small hill not far away.
His powerful Divine Sense keenly perceived that a Grade 3 Spirit Medicine was growing on the cliff face!
Boom!
Following the Wolf King's command, hundreds upon thousands of wolf Yao launched a charge toward the group.
The many giant birds circling in the air also let out sharp cries, either diving down toward the group or spitting out rays of fire, cold air, and other attacks mid-air; these were their innate racial Divine Abilities, and their power could not be underestimated.
Qin Miaoyi's subordinates struck one after another, coordinating seamlessly to form a battle formation that displayed powerful defensive capabilities, erupting into a great battle with the surrounding Yao Beasts and managing to block their assault.
These people were clearly not ordinary Foundation Establishment experts, but personal soldiers carefully cultivated by the Lanzhou Princes Mansion, each one a well-trained warrior!
Qin Miaoyi let out a soft cry, tapping her toes lightly on the ground, and was actually able to briefly soar into the air. Her blue and white dress fluttered in the wind, her figure graceful and lithe, and her beautiful face carried an added touch of heroic spirit.
With a look of killing intent, she casually struck down a few giant birds blocking her path and headed straight for the wolf Yao leader!
Capture the ringleader first!
"So beautiful... Old Qin, is your sister married?"
Ji Taichang admired Qin Miaoyi's graceful figure and asked casually.
"No."
Qin Wenhua shook his head, then a thought stirred in his heart!
Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties. Could it be... that Young Master Yang Dingtian has taken a liking to my second sister?
"Young Master Yang has extraordinary Aptitude and combat strength, and he is upright, kind, and loyal; he is worthy of my second sister."
"If I can bring the two of them together, then not only will I have Young Master Yang's assistance, but I can also win over my second sister to help me!"
"In that case... I might just have a chance to seize the position of Heir!"
A thought couldn't help but surface in Qin Wenhua's mind, and his heart pounded with excitement!
Ji Taichang's performance during this period had won Qin Wenhua over, making him feel that Ji Taichang was a trustworthy person.
So he whispered to Ji Taichang: "Young Master Yang, if you like my second sister, I can act as a matchmaker for you and create opportunities for you to spend time together..."
Ji Taichang exchanged a look with him, and both revealed a knowing smile.
"By the way, besides your second sister, are there any married women in your Lanzhou Princes Mansion whose husbands were very strong people but have unfortunately passed away?"
"...?"
Qin Wenhua was stunned, a question mark appearing above his head.
What kind of question is this?
He ignores the beautiful, peerless, and powerful Princess Qin Miaoyi with such great Aptitude and combat strength, and instead asks if there are any widows in the Lanzhou Princes Mansion?
Could it be... that Young Master Yang likes other men's wives?
Qin Wenhua's heart gave a slight jolt, and his expression became somewhat strange.
"I didn't expect that Young Master Yang, despite his young age, likes mature women; he really is a connoisseur..."
Qin Wenhua stroked his chin, actually thinking about it seriously.
But in the end, he still shook his head tactfully.
Although there were widows in the Lanzhou Princes Mansion, their late husbands were not particularly strong, so they did not meet Ji Taichang's requirements.
While the two were talking, Wu Ji and his Wuya Sect Disciples also made their move.
Wu Ji was truly worthy of being the Young Lord of the Wuya Sect; his strength was peerless. Stepping on his Flying Sword, he was able to briefly fly through the air, charging straight toward a giant bird at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage—that was the leader of the bird flock!
Qin Miaoyi and Wu Ji both adopted a decapitation tactic!
Both of them had surging spiritual power and immense strength, even a few degrees stronger than Li Jinlian, the Half-step Golden Core Stage expert Ji Taichang had encountered before. Very quickly, they beat those two Yao Beast leaders into retreat, leaving them with several bloody wounds.
Qin Miaoyi and Wu Ji both had several extraordinary Magical Artifacts in their hands, which was also a huge advantage!
Although the remaining Yao Beasts were extremely numerous.
But in the face of the battle formation of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion experts, they did not gain much of an advantage and could not break the formation's defense; instead, many Yao Beasts died in the fierce battle.
Seeing that he didn't need to make a move, Ji Taichang's gaze turned toward the Grade 3 Spirit Medicine on the cliff ahead.
"Hand it over!"
Ji Taichang's figure flashed, and he took the initiative to rush out of the battle formation, dashing toward the cliff.
Along the way, quite a few wolf Yao and Yao birds launched attacks, but he easily killed them in return, getting closer and closer to that stalk of Spirit Medicine.
