Ye Qiu entered the rift. Looking around, ancient trees towered everywhere, and various wildflowers and spiritual herbs covered the ground.
Moreover, the space here was vast, with many mountain ranges in the distance, undulating continuously.
The cultivators who had entered earlier were nowhere to be seen, presumably off searching for treasures.
As soon as Ye Qiu and the others entered, they noticed that the spiritual energy here was countless times denser than outside.
“Oh no, I’m about to break through.”
Lin Da Niao was only at the peak of the King realm. Suddenly nourished by the dense spiritual energy, his realm immediately loosened.
Ye Qiu said, “Suppress it first, wait until we get out to cross the tribulation.”
Lin Da Niao nodded and suppressed his realm.
“Let’s go!” Ye Qiu said, stepping forward to proceed.
“Little brat, wait a moment.” Chang Mei Zhen Ren called out to Ye Qiu, chuckling, “Let this poor Daoist divine a hexagram to see where the treasures are.”
With that, Chang Mei Zhen Ren took out three copper coins and began to divine.
About half a minute passed.
“I’ve divined it.” Chang Mei Zhen Ren pointed ahead and said, “The hexagram shows that proceeding straight ahead will surely lead to treasures.”
Ye Qiu was speechless, thinking, even if you didn’t divine, I would still go straight ahead.
“Daoist, you can divine hexagrams?” Lin Da Niao was somewhat surprised and asked, “Is it accurate?”
“Why, don’t you believe in this poor Daoist’s abilities?” Chang Mei Zhen Ren said, “How about I divine one for you.”
“Sure!” Lin Da Niao readily agreed.
Chang Mei Zhen Ren glanced at a certain part of Lin Da Niao’s body, put away the copper coins, and said, “This poor Daoist has divined that you don’t have three centimetres.”
In an instant, Lin Da Niao’s face turned completely red, his eyes glaring fixedly at Chang Mei Zhen Ren.
Seeing that Lin Da Niao didn’t refute, Chang Mei Zhen Ren was stunned inwardly, thinking, “No way, this poor Daoist said it casually, did I guess right?”
“Daoist, you’re bullying me!” Lin Da Niao said, then ran forward without looking back, ashamed and embarrassed.
Ye Qiu, seeing this scene, said, “Old thing, don’t talk nonsense if there’s nothing wrong.”
“Little brat, do you think Da Niao’s reaction is normal?” Chang Mei Zhen Ren said, “If it were someone else, they would definitely deny it vehemently, but he ran away. I seriously suspect that this poor Daoist didn’t say wrong.”
“However, with his build so large, it shouldn’t be that small by reason.”
“Does Da Niao have an illness?”
Ye Qiu also felt it was strange and said, “Later, I’ll find an opportunity to check.”
Chang Mei Zhen Ren said, “Little brat, this time many people have come in. If we encounter those disciples from Yin Yang Sect, Bu Tian Sect, and the three great holy lands, what do you plan to do?”
Ye Qiu said, “I hope they don’t provoke me.”
“And if they do provoke you?” Chang Mei Zhen Ren asked.
A cold light flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes, and he said coldly, “Whoever dares to provoke me, I’ll kill them!”
Chang Mei Zhen Ren laughed, “I knew you’d have this attitude, little brat. We’ve agreed, if you’re killing, you must take me along. This old man wants to follow you and turn the cultivation world upside down.”
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and said, “You’re a cultivator after all, why is your killing intent so heavy?”
Chang Mei Zhen Ren smiled and said, “This poor Daoist just wants to find something to do, to avoid boredom.”
Ye Qiu said, “Stop talking nonsense, let’s go!”
At that moment, the two proceeded forward.
After walking a few li, Ye Qiu stopped, frowning, and said, “Where did Da Niao go? How come we don’t see him?”
Chang Mei Zhen Ren laughed, “Probably because this poor Daoist hit the mark, so he’s too embarrassed to face us.”
“You’re the one with the cheap mouth.” Ye Qiu instructed, “Da Niao has been quite good to us, when we see him again, don’t mention this.”
“Don’t worry, I understand.” As soon as Chang Mei Zhen Ren finished speaking, a scream came from ahead.
“Ah!”
Ye Qiu and Chang Mei Zhen Ren heard this voice and both changed colour.
“It’s Da Niao’s voice.”
“He seems to have encountered danger.”
Ye Qiu and Chang Mei Zhen Ren quickly rushed forward. From afar, they saw Lin Da Niao.
Lin Da Niao was lying on the ground, with several palm prints on his face, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He appeared seriously injured. In front of him was Wu Lü from the Beast Emperor Sect.
Beside Wu Lü were four young men, all at the Golden Core realm.
“Dead fat pig, daring to challenge this young master, now you regret it?”
Wu Lü’s childish face was full of murderous intent, and he said coldly, “Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret now.”
“Tell me, where are your two accomplices?”
“As long as you tell this young master their whereabouts, this young master will leave you a complete corpse.”
Lin Da Niao spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying it on Wu Lü, and cursed, “Little bastard, dream on.”
Wu Lü looked at the blood on his clothes, eyes full of disgust, while a dense malice appeared on his face.
“You ungrateful dog, this young master gave you a chance and you didn’t take it. Fine, I’ll kill you now.”
Wu Lü was about to act.
“Wu Shao Ye, wait a moment.” A cultivator beside him said.
Wu Lü turned to look at the speaker and asked, “What do you want to say?”
The cultivator said, “Wu Shao Ye, why use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken? Leave this dead fatty to us!”
Wu Lü laughed, “Good.”
“You guys break all his bones, sever his hand and foot tendons.”
“Also, this dead fatty dared to spray blood on me, cut out his tongue.”
“Remember not to kill him, I still need to keep him alive to find his two accomplices.”
“Yes!” The four responded, then walked to Lin Da Niao.
These four were loose cultivators. After learning that Wu Lü was the young master of the Beast Emperor Sect, they immediately thought of attaching themselves, so they wanted to take this opportunity to show loyalty in front of Wu Lü.
One cultivator looked at Lin Da Niao and said with a grin, “Dead fatty, who did you have to offend but Wu Shao Ye? Isn’t this courting death?”
“I didn’t expect you to look like a pig and have a brain as stupid as a pig’s.”
“Ending up like this is entirely your own fault, you can’t blame others.”
“Brothers, let’s do it!”
As the four cultivators were about to act, suddenly, a sharp sword whistle sounded in the air.
“Whoosh!”
A sharp sword qi broke through the air, instantly, one cultivator was hit, his entire body turning into blood mist.
“Who?”
The remaining three and Wu Lü turned their heads at the same time. When they saw it was Ye Qiu and Chang Mei Zhen Ren, a smile appeared on Wu Lü’s face.
“This young master was just looking for you two, didn’t expect you to come so quickly. Perfect, I’ll take care of you all together…”
Before Wu Lü finished speaking, Ye Qiu’s figure had already arrived in front of Lin Da Niao. Three punches blasted out, instantly turning the three Golden Core realm cultivators into blood mist.
Then, he flashed out like lightning, grabbing Wu Lü’s neck.
“I don’t kill children, but you’re an exception.”
Ye Qiu said, then twisted and broke Wu Lü’s neck, followed by a kick that exploded Wu Lü’s golden core!
