The iron-eating beast is a low-level second-level demon beast that feeds on bamboo-like spiritual plants.
Characteristics: Gluttony.
Ability: Acting cute.
It is obvious that the greedy nature of this cub in Shangyue's hand was fully displayed, but the degree of cuteness was far from enough.
"This monster..." Before Shangyue finished speaking, he heard Cai Jie's voice coming from outside the cave.
He was furious and shouted, "This damned monster actually dared to eat my spiritual plants. I must skin it alive."
"The monster must be hiding in the cave ahead."
Cai Jie suddenly raised his voice and spoke in a firm tone.
Lu Qingling questioned, "Senior Brother Cai, how can you be so sure that the monster is hiding in this cave?"
Cai Jie sneered and said, "There are fresh bloodstains at the cave entrance. It must be from that monster."
The monster was stabbed by his sword and could not escape far. These drops of blood must have been left by the monster when it escaped.
"Monster, where are you going to escape this time?"
Cai Jie looked into the pitch-black cave with a grim expression.
Qiu Xuehai followed behind Cai Jie, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Brother, why don't we just forget about it? The monster only ate a few spiritual plants, and it was also seriously injured. Why not just write it off?"
Cai Jie snorted coldly and said grimly, "If you dare to touch my things, even if it's just a spiritual plant, I will make it eat it alive and spit it out dead."
Qiu Xuehai suddenly froze. She looked at Cai Jie's back and suddenly felt cold all over and terrified.
In the cave, Shangyue's face gradually became gloomy and his heart was in turmoil.
She held the Nine Heavens Jade Phoenix Hairpin in her hand, looking hesitant. If she took it off, she could conceal her identity and avoid being discovered by Cai Jie and others.
However, this also means that she is about to take off her mask in front of Gou Chen Shangqing.
This was the last thing I wanted to see last month.
Now, we are faced with wolves in front and tigers behind, and it is difficult to take a step forward and we are caught in a dilemma.
Shangyue's expression changed from gloomy to bright, and finally, she slowly let go of the Nine Heavens Jade Phoenix Hairpin.
Choosing one of the two, obviously, she chose a life-and-death fight with Cai Jie and others.
"Tear!" Shangyue felt a sudden stab on the back of his hand.
She looked down and saw that the iron-eating beast was biting Shangyue's hand fiercely and was still sucking her blood in ecstasy.
Shangyue swung the iron-eating beast violently, throwing it out from the back of his hand and dropping it heavily to the ground.
Gou Chen Shang Qing was startled, lifted Shang Yue's hand, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Shangyue suddenly pulled his hand back and said calmly, "It's okay."
"Sorry!" Gou Chen Shangqing stood there uncomfortably.
He just rashly took a girl's hand, which was simply... so rude.
"I've been searching for a long time, but I can't find you. Yin Yue, you're actually here?"
Cai Jie's face was distorted, his eyes burning with anger, and he stared at Shangyue.
Shangyue looked puzzled and asked, "Excuse me, do I know you?"
She really was asking from the heart.
Before setting foot on Kunwu Mountain, she thought she had no connection with Cai Jie, not to mention that they had inexplicably developed a hatred for each other.
"Haha!" Cai Jie looked at Shangyue with resentment. "You went to great lengths to curry favor with the Immortal Venerable Chihua, just to get a spot in the Immortal Gate Conference. But you actually took my place. Such a despicable act! I will kill you!"
Shang Yue was puzzled and said, "In that case, you should seek revenge on Chi Hua Xian Zun. After all, it was he who made you lose the qualification to participate in the Xianmen Conference, wasn't it?"
Cai Jie was stunned. This was indeed true!
But does he have the ability to challenge a powerful Immortal Venerable? Does he dare?
Cai Jie's face turned stern and he said, "Stop talking nonsense. You have no spiritual roots, no strength, yet you dare to join the Immortal Sect Conference. If you die in Kunwu Mountain, it will be your own fault."
Then, he signaled with his eyes to the two Huaqing Sect disciples following behind him.
The two disciples exchanged glances, realizing that Cai Jie was using them as spears, so they gripped the hilts of their swords tightly, but did not attack immediately.
"Wait a minute!" Gou Chen Shang Qing, after understanding the whole story, spoke up to persuade them, "It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Moreover, you are all disciples of the same sect. Why not make peace and put aside your past grudges?"
Cai Jie was about to start cursing when he suddenly noticed that the person who was speaking was dressed very unusually: he wore a jade crown on his head, and his silver hair fell to his waist like a waterfall. He was a member of the Gou Chen clan.
Moreover, his status is probably not low.
Cai Jie took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "I wonder who this fellow Taoist is?"
Gou Chen Shang Qing said: "I am Tian Yu Shen Zong, Gou Chen Shang Qing."
Qiu Xuehai suddenly looked up and looked at the extraordinary temperament of Gou Chen Shangqing, his face slightly red.
Cai Jie said, "So it's the Shangqing Immortal Lord. I've long admired you."
Gou Chen Shang Qing replied modestly: "I dare not, I dare not."
Gou Chen Shang Qing was about to try to dissuade him, but Cai Jie suddenly changed the subject and asked doubtfully, "Strange, I seemed to have glimpsed a female disciple of your sect three days ago. Since Shang Qing Xianjun is also nearby, did you notice her?"
The Gou Chen clan is known for their distinctive silver hair and outstanding appearance, making them particularly conspicuous and easy to identify throughout the Shangyuan Continent.
Gou Chen Shang Qing said frankly, "I'm ashamed to say I didn't see anything. I wonder if that female disciple of our clan was hurt?"
Gou Chen Shangqing looked ashamed, and his voice revealed a hint of concern and anxiety.
Cai Jie was about to speak when Lu Qingling jumped out excitedly and asked anxiously, "I wonder which woman in your Tianyu Divine Sect is so beautiful?"
Lu Qingling blinked, pressed her index finger against the corner of her right eye, and said to Gou Chen Shangqing, "There's a beauty mole here. Do you remember it?"
Gou Chen Shangqing froze in place for a moment, as an electric current quickly ran through his body. After a moment of numbness in his brain, he finally came back to consciousness.
His eyes were red and bloodshot, and he said excitedly: "Are you telling the truth? You really saw her. Have you really seen her? Speak up!"
Lu Qingling was startled by Gou Chen Shangqing's sudden change. She quickly dodged behind Cai Jie and said tremblingly, "I have seen her. We can all testify to this."
Gou Chen Shangqing quickly glanced around, and everyone nodded under his sharp gaze.
"Ayue!" Gou Chen Shangqing's heart skipped a beat. He staggered, walked through the cave in a hurry, and walked into the fog without looking back.
Seeing Gou Chen Shang Qing leave, Lu Qing Ling dared to step out from behind Cai Jie and asked fearlessly, "What Ah Yue? Who is Ah Yue?"
However, Gou Chen Shang Qing's figure was gradually moving away, and finally disappeared in the diffuse white mist.
"The troublemaker is finally gone. Yin Yue, today is the day you die!"
Cai Jie's tone was full of pride and bloodthirstiness as he approached Shang Yue step by step.
A little loser without any spiritual roots, he could crush Yin Yue into ashes with just a lift of his finger.
Shangyue tilted his head and asked, "So, you must kill me?"
