One hundred thousand mountains.

Danger lurks everywhere!

As soon as we stepped into the mountains, countless strange birds attacked us.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

The cries were shrill, like the howls of evil spirits, and the dark shadows filled the sky, making it extremely terrifying.

"Everyone be careful, it's a two-headed dove!"

Zeng Shushu shouted a warning, and at the same time brandished his sword, killing several two-headed doves that attacked.

But many more double-headed doves followed suit.

"Watch me!"

Han Lingsha wielded the Moon Gazing Sword, a divine weapon of the Nine Heavens, and with a swing, she unleashed a full moon.

The full moon casts its light.

The flock of birds seemed terrified of the moonlight and scattered in all directions.

"Senior Sister Han is amazing!"

"Senior Sister Han truly deserves to be the strongest among the younger generation of our Qionghua Sect."

Many people offered their compliments.

"Alright, enough talk, let's get going."

Han Lingsha waved her hand, interrupting their flattery.

The group continued deeper into the Shiwan Mountains.

Murong Fu was at the back of the crowd, holding Zhou Xiaohuan's hand.

Her health is poor, so she must be protected at all times and cannot be taken lightly.

Zhou Yixian, standing nearby, pointed and muttered curses.

However, Murong Fu was thick-skinned and unafraid of the strange looks from the world.

To be strong, one must have the courage to face rumors and gossip.

"Xiao Huan, are you tired? How about I carry you?"

As Murong Fu said this, he picked her up.

Ah~

Zhou Xiaohuan exclaimed in surprise, her face turning bright red.

Many eyes turned to look, and some were stunned.

They could only marvel at how extraordinary Senior Brother Murong truly was!

Just as they were distracted, a venomous snake slithered out.

"careful!"

Li Xiaoyao immediately thrust his sword into the snake's vital spot.

But looking at the snake, he inexplicably thought of Zhao Ling'er.

Zhao Ling'er was not in the expedition team; she was still in the Nanzhao Kingdom learning witchcraft from her two older sisters.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, the monk Faxiang patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder: "Young hero Li, are you alright?"

Li Xiaoyao snapped out of his daze and, as if possessed, asked, "Master Faxiang, does your Tianyin Temple accept people?"

The monk Faxiang was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Young Master Li, aren't you from the Shu Mountain Sect?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled wryly and said, "I am just a lay disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect, I have not formally entered the sect."

"I see." The monk Faxiang's expression turned serious. "Welcome, young hero Li, to Tianyin Temple!"

"Young Master Li, after we leave the Ten Thousand Mountains, I will inform my master and personally accept you into my fold, Young Master Li... no, Junior Brother Li!"

Upon hearing this...

Li Xiaoyao hesitated: "Well, I need to think about it some more."

"Amitabha!" The compassionate monk Faxiang, with a halo around his bald head, said, "Brother Li, since you have the heart to enter my Buddhist path, it means you are destined to be with the Buddha! Time waits for no one!"

"Besides, if you regret it, it's not too late to return to secular life in the future!"

"Can one still renounce secular life?"

Li Xiaoyao was instantly moved.

“Of course.” Monk Faxiang nodded.

"good!"

Li Xiaoyao nodded emphatically.

Everyone else found it strange that someone would actually want to become a monk at Tianyin Temple.

Moreover, he was a lay disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect.

It's just that Xu Changqing wasn't here; otherwise, he would definitely have had a magical duel with Faxiang.

As they were talking.

They gradually ventured deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The atmosphere around them became tense and oppressive.

The leaves rustled, accompanied by the howls of wolves and roars of tigers.

Yan Hong warned, "Everyone be careful! We've already ventured deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains, a stronghold of demonic beasts!"

Li Xun chimed in, "Yes, everyone be careful..."

Yan Hong interrupted her with disdain: "Senior brother, why are you mimicking my speech?"

"I don't……"

"careful!"

Before Li Xun could explain, a leopard with wings on its back pounced.

Ling Yue, the twelfth generation chief disciple of Tianyong City, cleaved the leopard in two with a single sword strike.

Beside him, Baili Tusu's eyes flickered slightly as he gazed into the distance.

The densely packed flying leopards blotted out the sky, sending chills down one's spine.

"Watch this! The Myriad Swords Technique!"

Li Xiaoyao cast a spell to control his sword, unleashing a barrage of ten thousand swords.

However, the Ten Thousand Swords Technique was like a tickle to these densely packed flying leopards, only temporarily disrupting their formation.

After a short while, they returned to their formation.

Li Xiaoyao stared in disbelief: "What kind of monster is this?"

“Flying Leopard! Also known as the Heavenly Feathered Black Tortoise!” Zeng Shushu said with a solemn expression, “The Heavenly Feathered Black Tortoise is usually a solitary animal. It’s unimaginable that it can blot out the sky like this!”

Baili Tusu's eyes were sharp as he replied, "Clearly, there are stronger demons leading them, which is why they are arranged into formations."

As they spoke...

The Heavenly Feathered Black Tortoise attacked like a flock of birds, its claws gleaming with a cold light, its claws covering the sky and the earth.

"ah!"

Some cultivators were caught in the claw's aura and were instantly severely injured.

Some were even cut into several pieces, without even a chance to scream.

Zhou Yixian, trembling with fear, hid behind Murong Fu and cautiously asked, "Young friend, aren't you going to help them?"

"Only after weathering the storm can one see the rainbow," Murong Fu shrugged.

"Even if I help them through this ordeal, they will still die next time. It's better to let them enter the cycle of reincarnation sooner, so that they will be more careful in their next life. This is a great act of kindness!"

"..."

Zhou Yixian was speechless with emotion. What a great kindness! You are truly a great philanthropist!
