Chapter 299 An Unexpected Eye Contact

After all, being inside a store means he has a physical presence, so there are naturally more things he can do.

This is a good time to get back into the swing of things, so that when I start training disciples, I won't feel too out of practice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan nodded and replied, "Alright, then I'll leave it to Senior Jing."

Gu Xinyan had great faith in Jing Ling's abilities. After all, he was a ninth-grade alchemist in his previous life, so curing the poison from the spirit dragon shouldn't be a problem for him; it was just a matter of time.

Just then, Little White, who had just gone to pick Soul Fruit, returned. Not only did it pick the Soul Fruit, it also uprooted the whole thing, intending to take it back and see if Big White could plant it.

After all, that guy is a master at growing fruit. If he can grow it successfully, it won't be a waste to bring him back.

Even if the plants don't survive, there's no loss, right? After carefully storing the Soul Fruits, he happily returned.

[Host, the Soul Fruit is in hand. Little White will go back to turn in the quest now. If all goes well, we should be able to level up to level seven this time.]

Hearing this, Gu Xinyan was very happy. After all, it was an emergency mission, and one of them was worth several others. She was getting closer and closer to level eight.

"Then Xiaobai, you go back and turn in the mission first. We'll wait for you here."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai nodded his little head hurriedly, and then disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.

After seeing Xiaobai leave, Gu Xinyan then looked at the strange plants that had grown near where the Soul Fruit had originally been.

After thinking about it, I decided to pick them all before leaving, since they might come in other uses.

The others shared the same idea, and with everyone in the shop working together, they finally managed to pick all the plants.

Since the Soul Fruit grows in a rather secluded place, it's estimated that even those disciples might not be able to find it.

So after picking all the plants, they returned to where they had come from.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they made eye contact with the disciples from the Nine Nether Continent who had entered the ancient battlefield. It was quite a coincidence, to say the least.

Several sect leaders, along with their remaining disciples, fought their way to the inner perimeter of the ancient battlefield.

This competition is a major contest between sects, and also a time for sects to re-rank themselves.

The top two sects will definitely receive a lot of resources, while those ranked lower may not receive much.

Therefore, the atmosphere among these disciples who entered the ancient battlefield is extremely tense, and they have been fighting ever since they first entered.

Currently, the scores among the five major sects are not significantly different, and the end of the competition is approaching. Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the inner perimeter of the ancient battlefield, sparks flew, and a major battle was about to break out.

But to everyone's surprise, just as they were about to rush up and fight, a white light suddenly flashed in the open space not far from them, and then a strange house appeared.

It's really strange. This house is not only strange in appearance, but also particularly bizarre. After all, who would have such an ugly thing coiled on their roof?

However, the house appeared too suddenly. After exchanging glances, Murong Yunfeng and his group tacitly turned their attention to the house that had suddenly appeared, as well as the strangely dressed people inside.

For a moment, no one spoke, while Murong Yunfeng and his group quietly gripped their weapons.

After all, they had noticed that the demonic beast hovering on the rooftop, if they weren't mistaken, was probably close to the level of a demon emperor.

In other words, this is a demonic beast in the Tribulation Transcending stage, with strength roughly equivalent to that of the elders of their sect.

They were far beyond the capabilities of their disciples; they estimated that they would be swallowed whole in a single exchange.

The group exchanged silent glances, all seeing fear in each other's eyes. How could there be such a powerful monster in this ancient battlefield? Hadn't the elders already come in to investigate?

And this house, and those strangely dressed people too—they're clearly a group. I just hope the sect leader and elders can get here as soon as possible, or they're in grave danger.

Murong Yunfeng and his group did not look very good, and the various sects outside the ancient battlefield, as well as the cultivators watching the competition, all couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

They were just waiting for these protégés to start fighting, because that's what makes it interesting.

Who would have thought that they had already brought out their little stools and a big battle was about to break out? What the hell was this house that suddenly appeared?

"Huh? No, how was this ancient battlefield cleared back then? How come there are still demonic beasts at the Tribulation Transcending stage here? And who are those people? How did they sneak in?"

The Dan Sect Master, Murong, looked around nervously and asked questions. Heaven knows, when he saw the demonic beast in the Tribulation Transcending stage, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, after all, his precious son was still inside.

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of all the elders and sect leaders present changed.

When the ancient battlefield was being cleared out, every sect sent people, so they knew exactly what was going on inside.

However, the unexpected turn of events was something they had never anticipated.

"The passage to the ancient battlefield has been closed and cannot be opened until the appointed time. I don't know how these people got in."

"Look at that giant dragon, it must have been raised by these people, but I wonder what their background is."

"Stop talking for now, let's see if we can open the passage. We can't let anything happen to the children inside."

Upon hearing this, the sect leaders and elders all sprang into action, eager to open the passage into the ancient battlefield.

Their anxious appearance made the cultivators below the stage vaguely sense something, and they began to discuss it incessantly.

"My God, will these disciples be alright? This is terrifying. I just saw the elders were extremely anxious. It seems this wasn't arranged in advance."

"How could this have been planned in advance? Didn't you see it just now? That strange house appeared out of nowhere."

Moreover, there are demonic beasts in the Tribulation Transcending stage inside. Who has such great ability to arrange this scene?

Even the Beast Taming Sect probably doesn't have a single demonic beast at the Tribulation Transcending stage; this is clearly an unexpected situation.

If it were truly pre-arranged, which sect would dare to gamble with the lives of their own disciples? Wouldn't that be insane?
