Chapter 534 Three-Way Standoff



The group of seven was not wandering aimlessly.

Monsters are sensitive to spiritual energy.

Similarly, Fang Ruotang is also like that.

Under her guidance, the group headed in the direction where spiritual energy was most abundant.

Soon, they heard the sounds of fighting.

Fang Ruotang placed invisibility talismans on the seven people.

"Let's see how things go first."

All six agreed with Fang Ruotang's decision.

Any intelligent person would not act impulsively when the situation is unclear, let alone these six people.

They stepped forward and were stunned by the sight before them.

A group of monsters were fighting in a chaotic battle, but upon closer inspection, it could be distinguished that they were fighting in two separate waves.

"What's going on? It's not like the clans are taking over territory! The two groups of demonic beasts are clearly of different races."

"Could it be that one side is the original inhabitants who are protecting it, and the other side is a covetous person who was attracted by the spiritual vein and wants to plunder it?" Gu Yanjin took a look and had this guess.

Cui Shixu agreed, "That should be the case. After all, there were originally inhabitants on this spiritual vein. Because of the spiritual vein, they developed intelligence and became demon beasts. Demon beasts value their territory and would definitely not accept new demon beasts taking over their positions."

"Moreover, look at the combat strength of both sides. One side has more demons and more power, but their strength is weak. The other side has fewer demons, but each of them has a high level of cultivation."

Ye Wuxia also shared the results of his careful observation.

The group shared the same opinion, and with Xiao Jingzi's agreement, the truth turned out to be exactly as they had analyzed.

Fang Ruotang raised her eyebrows slightly and said excitedly, "Then let them fight it out, and we'll be the fishermen who reap the benefits in the end."

"It's possible, but the monsters we're facing right now aren't particularly high-level. I'm afraid a powerful monster might come later."

"What does it matter? Even if we occupy this place later, we'll still have to guard against the covetousness of powerful demons. They'll definitely send disciples to guard this place. We might as well let them fight it out now, and then we can easily reap the rewards later. We can even pick up a lot of demon cores!"

Fang Ruotang proudly raised her chin.

Just then, they witnessed a minor demon being killed, its demon core being extracted, and instantly swallowed by another demon.

Her smile faltered.

It's alright, this is fine too.

A beast that has swallowed a demon core will become stronger, and its demon core will become more valuable.

“Okay,” Gu Yanjin agreed.

Gu Nancheng praised sweetly, "Little Ruoruo, you are so smart, you came up with a solution so quickly."

“That’s right, I’m very smart!” Fang Ruotang said, raising her chin.

That's why it doesn't have a tail; otherwise, its tail would be sticking up to the sky.

Ye Wuxia also praised, "I knew that following Xiao Liu was the safest option. Thank you, Xiao Liu, for protecting me. You're amazing for coming up with such a simple solution."

Fang Ruotang is the kind of person who shines when given a little sunshine.

She always accepts praise from others without reservation, even if it's a small, insignificant thing. As long as the praise is sincere, she feels incredibly proud.

That's exactly how it is now.

After a round of flattery, Gu Yanjin raised practical questions.

"Shall we wait here, or what?"

Fang Ruotang's gaze gradually shifted from Gu Yanjin to Ye Wuxia.

His face remained fair and handsome; the flames had not burned his face, but his body, covered in clothes, was covered in scars.

“How about I tell Qi Yu about the situation here and have him lead his disciples to take over? You can stay here to provide support, and I will accompany Wuxia to find medicinal herbs to heal her injuries.”

Gu Yanjin pursed his lips slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

After all, he had just received Fang Ruotang's favor, and if he acted inappropriately now, it would put Fang Ruotang in a difficult position.

However, powerful guardian beasts are always present beside the spiritual herbs and plants, because these good things are needed not only by human cultivators but also by spiritual beasts.

He didn't quite agree that Fang Ruotang and Ye Wuxia should go alone, but he knew that even if he didn't speak up, the others wouldn't agree.

“I’ll go with you, I can help too.” Gu Nancheng was the first to speak up. He had already been left behind once, and this time he refused to agree no matter what.

Huo Zhige argued logically, "Ye Wuxia's health is already poor. If we go with her, we can help her if we encounter any monsters."

"Yes! We're all family. We're also worried about Wuxia's health and want to do our part to help him. Let's go together!"

Cui Shixu's words sounded so appealing that Fang Ruotang immediately believed them.

Like Gu Yanjin, Rong Xing didn't say anything, looking at Fang Ruotang with a dependent expression, as if to say whatever she said was right.

"Okay! Let's go together!"

Fang Ruotang nodded and readily agreed, unaware of the fleeting expectation in Ye Wuxia's eyes, and the disappointment that came almost imperceptibly.

Gu Yanjin was the first man to get close to Fang Ruotang, and even he felt a little disappointed at times, let alone others.

Who wouldn't want to have Fang Ruotang all to themselves!

Even if you can't achieve that, you'll still be happy someday.

Fang Ruotang immediately contacted Qi Yu and explained the situation, and his surprised voice came through.

"You mentioned a top-grade spiritual vein. You've discovered a top-grade spiritual vein?"

"Yes, you should quickly lead your disciples to occupy this place and mine the spiritual veins."

"You're not kidding, are you?! Our Cloud Deep Continent hasn't discovered a new spiritual vein in years. You just went out for a stroll and found one?"

“This isn’t the Cloud Deep Continent, this is our Great Yong! There are three spiritual veins in total. We’ll stop mining the other two for now because we don’t have enough manpower. You should gather your disciples here first.”

Qi Yu felt dizzy and lightheaded.
