Cang Yue said, "Senior brother, the strength of the Mu family, one of the eight great families, is a hundred times stronger than that of the Fanyin Temple!"
Yunhai suddenly realized, "That's right! The Brahma Sound Temple only has a Celestial Venerable expert in charge, but the Mu family of the Eight Great Families has several Celestial Saint experts. These two are not even on the same level. But Junior Sister, how could such a powerful family as the Mu family entrust their child to our Wuwei Sect?"
Cang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Wanqing is the illegitimate daughter of the head of the Mu family. Her mother died early, and her stepmother kicked her out of the house while the head of the Mu family was away. She even sent someone to assassinate her. She stumbled upon this Three Rings Continent by chance, since there are few experts here, so it is relatively safer."
Yunhai said in a deep voice, "She is, after all, the daughter of the Mu family patriarch. Once the Mu family patriarch returns, he will surely send people to search for his daughter. We must protect Wanqing."
The four of them, including Yunhai, started discussing amongst themselves and then began playing mahjong again.
Lin Caogen followed Tian Lingshan on foot to the outer layer of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Looking at the birdsong and the animals running around in the forest, Du Yumei couldn't help but exclaim, "There are so many animals here!"
Tian Lingshan said, "Junior brother and junior sister, our mission is to hunt first-tier immortal beasts in the outer layer of this forest. With my current cultivation level, plus your assistance, even peak first-tier immortal beasts will have a hard time escaping our encirclement and killing. Last year, I obtained 300 first-tier immortal beast cores, but I only ranked 1001st. This time, I must obtain 350 first-tier immortal beast cores."
Lin Caogen asked, "Senior Sister, don't these immortal beast cores differentiate by quality? Do you get the same rating for a low-grade first-tier core and a high-grade first-tier core?"
Tian Lingshan said, "The sect is too lazy to distinguish the quality of the core. As long as it is a first-tier core, it will be counted as one point. If you are lucky enough to encounter a low-level first-tier immortal beast, that is the best. If you encounter a high-level or peak first-tier immortal beast, you can only consider yourself unlucky. So this hunting competition still has a certain element of luck."
As they were talking, Tian Lingshan suddenly assumed a fighting stance!
She shouted, "Watch out! It's a human-faced spider!"
Du Yumei broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing the words "human-faced demon spider"!
She's been terrified of spiders since she was little!
This human-faced demon spider has a belly that resembles a human face, and its eight spider stingers can release potent poison! It is a high-level first-tier immortal beast.
Seeing Tian Lingshan's alarmed expression, Lin Caogen was utterly puzzled! He asked, "Senior Sister! Is this Human-Faced Demon Spider really that scary?"
Tian Lingshan said anxiously, "Most of the human-faced demon spiders are first-tier high-level, which is not scary to me. However, human-faced demon spiders are social animals. The appearance of one means that there may be thousands behind it."
Upon hearing the description of thousands of them, Du Yumei felt a chill run through her body, and her face turned pale. She had been cultivating for less than three months, and even including her early education at home, her cultivation time was only a year. She had only just entered the first star of the Body Refinement stage. One human-faced demon spider was enough to kill her, let alone thousands.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, a human-faced demon bead, one meter long, one meter wide, and one meter high, rushed towards Tian Lingshan.
Tian Lingshan's sword flashed like lightning, slashing down one of the legs of the human-faced demon spider.
With a snap, the leg bone of the human-faced spider was broken but not severed.
It felt excruciating pain and immediately spat out venomous silk towards Tian Lingshan.
Tian Lingshan mobilized her immortal energy from all the cells in her body to form a cyan shield in front of her.
The spider silk was seen continuously corroding Tian Lingshan's cyan shield.
Before the shield could be broken, Tian Lingshan did an aerial somersault and swung her sword directly at the head of the human-faced demon spider.
This sword strike contained Tian Lingshan's peak Body Refinement stage cultivation, and a cracking sound was heard.
The skull of the human-faced demon pearl was cleaved ten centimeters deep by Tian Lingshan's sword, resulting in its complete death.
With a twist of her sword, Tian Lingshan pried open the skull of the human-faced demon spider, then used the tip of her sword to extract the spider's core and put it into her spatial ring.
Lin Caogen witnessed Tian Lingshan kill the faceless spider with her own eyes, and felt so angry that he could only sigh.
The process of Tian Lingshan killing a human-faced demon spider was truly unbearable to watch. She could have taken its life with just one move, but she used three!
Tian Lingshan's first move, attempting to cut the leg bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, was a grave mistake. Leg bones are hard; what's the point of cutting them?
The second move used a shield to block the poisonous threads. It was clear that he could have dodged it by simply moving aside. Why waste his immortal energy?
The third move was to cleave the spider's skull with his sword, targeting the hardest part again! Lin Caogen was completely impressed! Wasn't it tiring to slay a human-faced spider like that?
In fact, Lin Caogen Technology's Divine Light Activation technology has a brain computing ability that far exceeds that of Tian Lingshan by a hundred times.
He could easily spot the flaws in the Human-Faced Demon Spider's moves, while Tian Lingshan's brain development was only 10%. By Lin Caogen's standards and perspective, Tian Lingshan's moves were simply clumsy and incompetent.
Tian Lingshan took away the core of the Human-Faced Demon Spider and said in a panic, "Junior brother, junior sister, run! Once the Human-Faced Demon Spider dies, its scent will spread quickly, and its companions will come to avenge it immediately."
Lin Caogen shook his head and said, "Why leave such a good opportunity! Senior Sister, take Xiaoyu and hide in the tree above! Watch me kill a thousand human-faced demon spiders first!"
Tian Lingshan exclaimed urgently, "Are you crazy! If we don't leave now, none of us will be able to leave alive!"
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "Senior sister, listen to me. Go hide in the tree over there for a while, and I'll kill them!"
Having witnessed Lin Caogen's slaying of the Demonic Sect's Core Formation stage cultivator, Du Yumei trusted him greatly. Thinking he was about to use the Black Gold Armor again, she advised Tian Lingshan, "Senior Sister, let's listen to Caogen! He has a plan!"
Hearing Du Yumei, who was usually so composed, say this, Tian Lingshan was skeptical.
