The group rushed over and heard the commotion from afar; it turned out to be four or five demonic beasts!

Many of them backed out.

"This...this is no different from sending someone to their death."

"Even if we get there, Qian Yu and his group won't be able to escape unscathed; we might even get caught up in it."

"Quick, hurry up! Don't let the demon beasts find us, or we won't be able to escape."

The disciples chattered amongst themselves and then hurried away.

Meanwhile, on this side...

"Senior Brother Qian, I can't hold on any longer! I want to live! I have an eighty-year-old mother to support, I can't just die like this!" The disciple in the northwest corner of the formation suddenly retreated.

Taking advantage of the demon beast's inattention, they rushed out.

As he was the first, he successfully escaped, and the other disciples followed suit. In the blink of an eye, the formation collapsed on its own.

Qian Yu, who was at the center of the formation, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The demonic beasts began their rampage.

Rivers of blood flowed—

Qian Yu was thrown away, his body slamming heavily onto the rocks. He saw the enormous creature approaching, but it was too late to summon his beast soul.

Bang! A black-haired claw swept across.

Just at this critical moment, a stone flew over and smashed into the demon's open mouth, breaking its fangs with a crack.

"Aow!" The demonic beast let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Its teeth were broken.

In mid-air, a red figure swept past, kicking the demon on the head with such force that it sent the demon flying.

Ignoring his superficial injuries, Qian Yu quickly got up.

They watched as that red figure was surrounded by demons.

"Senior Brother Qian, let's go!"

A disciple urged loudly, "Take advantage of the fact that the demon beast's attention is diverted and run away quickly. Isn't standing here just suicide?"

"No." Qian Yu drew his sword and charged forward.

"Senior Brother Qian!"

The disciple's eyes widened.

Indeed, it was Liu Yue who suddenly made her move; she was surrounded by five enormous beasts.

"It looks like a shadow just passed by."

"Who is that? I couldn't see clearly..."

"Whoever it was, they're probably just scraps by now."

The five demonic beasts should not be underestimated.

The remaining scum are lucky.

Just then, the sound of weapons clashing rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Bang! An unidentified object flew towards the group. They quickly dodged, but were still shaken by the aftershock.

When they finally saw what the unidentified object was, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets—it was the head of a demon beast!

It was cut straight off.

Qian Yu looked up, and a flamboyant red color came into view—

The sunlight shone on her, as if bathing her in a golden glow.

Like a goddess descending to earth.

For a moment, Qian Yu even forgot how to react.

Until his pupils reflected the scene of the demon grabbing at the girl, he leaped forward to help, but it was too late.

Blood spurted out!

An invisible sword aura pierced through half of the demon beast's body, and the aura of a peak Spirit Venerable was unleashed with a thunderous roar.

Qian Yu, who was standing nearby, felt a surge of emotion in his chest.

He held his breath to prevent the blood from spurting out.

In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jun Liuyue had already dealt with two of the five demonic beasts, and the remaining one was severely injured, with its arm severed.

With only two eyes filled with fear, he turned and ran into the layered, labyrinthine forest.

The remaining heavily wounded demon was also split in two by the girl's sword energy.

The girl was covered in blood, but it wasn't hers; it belonged to the demon beast.

The girl remained calm and used the Heaven-Asking Sword to pry open the beast core in the chest of the demon beast.

The core of the demon beast is different from that of ordinary beasts.

The cores of ordinary magical beasts can be used in medicine and refined into elixirs.

The entire body of the demon beast is poisonous, and its core is the most poisonous of all.

But for Liuyue, poison is better!

She can forge weapons capable of killing high-level cultivators, which is far more attractive to her than the core of a sacred beast.

All three beast cores are now complete.

It's a pity she let two go, otherwise she would have had five.

Liu Yue sighed. It was such a pity.

The girl's figure appeared particularly small among the corpses of these three enormous creatures, especially since she was standing between two of the giant beasts' corpses, making her even less noticeable.

The disciples who had escaped were now eagerly approaching again.

"Senior Brother Qian, are you alright?"

"Senior Brother Qian, I knew you were amazing!!"

"But... who was that girl just now?"

Someone couldn't help but speak up, glancing around but not spotting Jun Liuyue, who was huffing and puffing as she dug out the beast bones between the two giant beasts.

"Our senior sister with the highest cultivation level during this training trip to the Spirit Realm is Princess Feng Wan. That girl just now... could she be Princess Feng Wan?"

"As expected of Princess Feng Wan! She's amazing!"

Qian Yu remained silent.

The crowd became even more certain of their suspicions.

Qian Yu lived a secluded life in the academy, spending the whole year either in seclusion or traveling out for training.

I had seen Feng Wan once, but I didn't remember her face.

Hearing the disciples' words, Qian Yu frowned. Was she the Azure Dragon Princess, who was surrounded by admirers?

Yes, she has a very noble air about her.

That one glance was enough to make someone fall deeply in love.

And now.

Jun Liuyue had already dug out the necessary animal bones. Liuyue planned to grind these bones into powder and then add them to her poison weapon.
