The purpose of their coming here was to obtain the beast soul relic. Since the Aolai beast had left anyway, there was no danger. It was a good opportunity to look carefully. Perhaps there were other treasures besides the beast soul relic. If they found them, it would be worth their desperate efforts.
"You're right. Although the rebirth of the Aolai divine beast mainly relies on the spiritual power of heaven and earth, it is supplemented by some natural treasures. There should be some good things hidden here. Let's look for them carefully." Xia Youchen said with a smile.
Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe glanced at him with disdain, thinking to themselves, "Who do you think you are? This is my young master's territory. What does it have to do with you?" Look at Fen Qianji and Tang Bufan. They firmly declined even when the young master offered them a chance. How self-disciplined are they? And you actually have the nerve to stay? What kind of Beastmaster Sword Saint are you? How can you be so shameless?
"Ahem, ahem, it's fate that we met. I was actually just curious, so I followed to see for myself." Xia Youchen was, after all, a senior master who had been famous for thousands of years. He felt uncomfortable being looked down upon by several juniors with contempt, and he explained after two dry coughs.
"Then let's take a look." Mu Hanyan didn't say much.
In fact, she and Xia Youchen did not have any deep hatred. Thanks to him for restraining those undead sword slaves, she and Hua Yue and others were able to deal with Zhao Lingxian without distraction.
More importantly, it was thanks to him that Tang Bufan was able to save his life and leave the ancient ruins safely. Although Tang Bufan had nothing to do with her now, she still remembered Xia Youchen's kindness.
Xia Youchen shamelessly refused to leave. Ultimately, it was all for the sake of the Qiongqi beast. Having to deal with such a "ferocious beast" that only ate meat and no vegetables, Xia Youchen felt truly pitiful.
You have to know that the Longyan Mountains stretch for tens of millions of miles, and there are countless birds and beasts living in them. If this guy is willing to eat meat, it really is not a problem. With Xia Youchen's strength, it is easy to hunt some birds and beasts.
This creature, however, is a vegetarian. And when it says vegetarian, it certainly doesn't just nibble on grass stems and leaves like cattle, sheep, and elk. Even if it can't feast on exotic flowers and herbs, it must also consume seasonal fruits and other high-quality ingredients. Furthermore, the energy required for a divine beast's growth is immense, so relying on these resources to successfully grow is sheer wishful thinking. Ultimately, exotic flowers, herbs, and elixirs are essential. In the Longyan Mountains, these cultivation resources are actually even harder to find than birds and beasts.
Foodies are not scary, what is scary is foodies who only eat vegetarian food and not meat.
Xia Youchen was so poor that he had no other choice. If he had not signed the life contract, it would have been fine. He could just starve this guy to death and that would have been the end of it. But the problem was that with the life contract in place, this guy could not eat enough. When he was extremely hungry, he could only absorb energy from him. His strength had already dropped to the third level of swordsman. If he continued like this, one day he would become an ordinary person with no cultivation at all, and maybe even become a corpse.
Therefore, Xia Youchen had no choice but to shamelessly come to Mu Hanyan to get a piece of the pie.
Mu Hanyan felt sympathy for Xia Youchen's tragic experience, and because she was grateful to Tang Bufan for what he had done, she treated him like a half-friend and didn't mind letting him take advantage of her. Although Mu Hanyan usually wouldn't be stingy with even ant meat, she was never stingy with her friends.
Several people immediately started to act and searched carefully in the cave.
"Hua Yue, are you okay?" Seeing Hua Yue's fast steps and agile body, and there was nothing wrong with her at all, Mu Hanyan asked in surprise and worry.
Previously, Hua Yue used the blood sacrifice technique to forcibly unleash the power of the Demon-Breaking Spear. Mu Hanyan saw it with her own eyes, and she could empathize with the pain he endured.
At that time, even his mind was occupied by the gun spirit in the Demon-Breaking Spear, which was filled with cruelty and violence. Under the powerful backlash of the Demon-Breaking Spear, Hua Yue lost his mind and his face became hideous, like a killer demon descended to the world.
Mu Hanyan was worried at that time that Hua Yue might be seriously injured or mentally ill after this battle, but she was surprised to see that he was fine. Besides being surprised, she was also deeply worried: even if he seemed fine on the surface, who knew what hidden dangers might be left inside.
"It's okay. My blood and physique are different from those of the practitioners in the Holy Court Continent. You don't have to worry about me, young master." Hua Yue said lightly, as cold as ever, and her breath was steady, and there was no sign of internal injury.
"I knew you would be fine. You are an indestructible cockroach. How could a mere blood sacrifice technique possibly cause any harm to you?" Zirong heard their words, patted Huayue's shoulder hard, and said with a grin.
Hua Yue's physical defense and vitality were already terrifyingly strong, and he didn't show any signs of injury, so Zirong was not worried at all.
"By the way, I actually think you should use a gun instead of a sword. The power of the Demon-Breaking Gun is really too strong." Jiang Yuzhe also came over and said with some envy.
"Actually, there is no difference. Once the seal of the Demon-Breaking Spear is opened, I will become one with the spear. The spear is me, and I am the spear. The spear can turn into a sword, and the sword can turn into a spear. Even flying flowers and falling leaves can turn into spears and swords. It makes no difference to me." Hua Yue said calmly, still looking calm.
"The unity of man and sword is truly amazing. It would be great if one day I could cultivate to the realm of unity of man and sword." Seeing Hua Yue's calm and composed yet proud expression, Zirong cursed him for showing off, but said with envy.
"The unity of man and meanness, haven't you achieved it a long time ago?" Hua Yue said seriously with a blank expression.
"Really? When did he become one with the sword? How come I didn't know?" Jiang Yuzhe was surprised.
"Hua Yue, you dare to scold me, I will never let you go!" Zirong's reaction was much faster than Jiang Yuzhe's. She immediately roared in anger and kicked out.
This kick was so vicious and cruel, it went straight to the three vital points of Hua Yue.
If it were someone else, facing this despicable and shameless kick, they would most likely be unable to defend themselves. However, Hua Yue and Zirong were together day and night, and were very familiar with his moves. With a flick of their body, they dodged this extremely despicable kick.
Huayue's reaction was quick enough, and Zirong's movements were not slow either. When Zirong turned around and retreated, he kicked her in the lower body again - well, this kick was even more mean than the previous one.
Zirong turned around again and dodged it easily.
The two men used all their skills, and their bodies were like shooting stars, chasing each other in the cave, making the fight very exciting.
"It's true that she is both a human and a mean person. She is really mean enough." Looking at Zirong's extremely mean moves, every one of them was a dirty trick, Jiang Yuzhe was filled with emotion.
Watching Zirong and Huayue playfully, Mu Hanyan smiled warmly. But then, the smile faded, and worry returned to her eyes.
