roar!
The Netherworld Beast roared and violently shook its body, causing the throwing knife embedded in its flesh to be jolted out.
Immediately afterwards, three Netherworld Beasts rushed up from the side, their figures flashing as if tigers were devouring the sky, pouncing towards us.
"I attacked with all my might, yet I failed to kill that Netherworld Beast?"
Gao Yueshan exclaimed in surprise, frowned, and quickly dodged.
"That Netherworld Beast is comparable to a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator."
Lin Xiaofei glanced around and thought to himself.
Immediately, he flashed away and followed behind the group of people.
Rumble!
Dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators took action, each using their spells and supernatural abilities to hold off the seven or eight Netherworld Beasts that charged forward first.
After a fierce battle, the seven or eight Netherworld Beasts were seriously injured. Only then did they realize that this group of cultivators was not to be trifled with, and they all turned and fled.
However, just as they turned to flee, they were attacked by several Nascent Soul cultivators, who unleashed dozens of supernatural powers and killed them.
"The stench of blood here is too strong. I estimate that it will attract more Netherworld Beasts soon. We need to act quickly."
As Ren Yiyan spoke, he turned to look at Lin Xiaofei and said, "
Fellow Daoist Black God, I beg you to take care of that 490-year-old, third-grade Dark Flower.
"Please use your fourth-grade spiritual plant technique now to quickly advance it to the fourth grade."
"clear."
Lin Xiaofei responded, his figure flashed, and he soared into the air, landing beside the dark flower, where he began to use his spiritual plant technique.
"Everyone, now pay attention to the surroundings. If any Netherworld Beasts rush up, we'll attack them together."
"Don't let those Netherworld Beasts disturb Fellow Daoist Black God."
Ren Yiyan gave a low shout, but his face showed a hint of excitement.
Everyone nodded slightly, their eyes fixed on their surroundings.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Suddenly, the roars of the Netherworld Beasts echoed from afar.
In an instant, everyone's expression changed slightly. Hearing the roars, they realized that another group of Netherworld Beasts had arrived.
"Judging from these roars, it's clear that quite a few Netherworld Beasts are heading this way."
As Ren Yiyan spoke, he turned to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator beside him and said solemnly, "
"Fellow Daoist Jinshan, I now command you to rush out of the eastern crevice cave and lure away as many of those Netherworld Beasts as you can."
Fellow Daoist Jinshan has the lowest cultivation level among everyone and is still a rogue cultivator.
"this?"
Jinshan Zhenjun's expression changed slightly, revealing a look of hesitation.
Sending him alone to lure away a group of Netherworld Beasts is practically sending him to his death.
Once that group of Netherworld Beasts sees him, they will definitely treat him as food and chase after him relentlessly. Will he even have a chance to survive?
If there were only two or three third-tier Netherworld Beasts, he wouldn't be afraid.
At this moment, however, he was very unwilling.
“Senior Ren, I am the lowest in cultivation level and the weakest in strength. I am worried that I might be eaten by them as soon as I rush out from the east.”
After hesitating for a moment, Jinshan Zhenjun quickly spoke up.
"We discussed everything before we came here. Once we're here, we have to obey my orders. Have you forgotten?"
Ren Yiyan's gaze turned cold, his face serious, and he spoke calmly.
Among everyone, he was the most accomplished and the strongest, and he had no fear that anyone would dare to disobey his orders.
"I haven't forgotten, it's just..."
Jinshan Zhenjun spoke haltingly, glancing at the others before finally saying, "
"Senior Ren, why don't you arrange for another person? Two people to lure away this group of Netherworld Beasts would be much more effective."
“Fellow Daoist Jinshan, this is such a small matter that you can handle it by yourself. There’s no need to involve us.”
As soon as he said that, everyone was startled and started to speak.
“Fellow Daoist Jinshan, since you have taken the benefits from my senior brother, you must obey his orders. Otherwise, you will die.”
Gao Yueshan, who was standing to the side, saw that a rogue cultivator dared to disobey orders and also said in a cold voice.
"Okay, I'll go."
Jinshan Zhenjun's gaze turned cold, and he said something indifferently before flashing forward.
He knew that if he didn't go soon, he would die on the spot. Rather than that, he might as well leave quickly and perhaps still have a chance to escape.
He stopped just as he reached the nearby crevice cave, turned around, and shouted angrily:
Fellow Daoists, Ren Yiyan sent me to my death in order to achieve his own goals. This method is far too ruthless.
My fate may very well befall you.
"Even if I die, as a ghost, I will not let Ren Yiyan and the Lingxiang Sect go."
With that, he flashed away and rushed out quickly.
"court death!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Yiyan's expression changed, and he flashed away like a gust of wind. His speed was extremely fast as he chased after Jinshan Zhenjun.
As the distance closed, he waved his hand, and a sword aura flashed through the air like lightning.
Jinshan Zhenjun flew swiftly, leaping hundreds of feet before being caught up by the sword energy, which struck him with a single blow.
puff!
Blood splattered as Jinshan Zhenjun was cleaved in two.
Just as his soul was about to leave his body, it was shattered by the terrifying spiritual power emanating from the sword energy.
Jinshan Zhenjun has fallen.
"this?"
Everyone's expression changed, their brows furrowed slightly, and they immediately felt a sense of pressure.
"Ren Yiyan is too domineering."
"Ren Yiyan sent Jinshan Zhenjun to lure away a group of Netherworld Beasts, which was inherently a dangerous situation."
It's perfectly normal for Jinshan Zhenjun to have grievances, so why kill him?
Several cultivators secretly communicated with each other.
They never expected that Ren Yiyan would act so decisively, killing Jinshan Zhenjun directly. His methods were too ruthless.
Soon, Ren Yiyan turned back and, seeing the group's silent expressions, said calmly:
As you just saw, I only assigned him a small task, and not only did he disobey my orders, he even dared to curse at me. This is what happened to him.
Everyone looked at Ren Yiyan without saying a word, but they felt a surge of anger and dared not utter a sound.
"Alright, since one person is too afraid to go, then send two people."
"Wang Dongzhenjun has reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and Zuijiuzhenjun has reached the early Nascent Soul stage. You two, go and lure that group of Netherworld Beasts here."
Ren Yiyan glanced at everyone and said calmly.
"yes."
Wang Dongzhenjun's expression changed as he listened to the intoxicated fungus. Although he was displeased, he responded at the same time.
The others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They all knew that once a large number of Netherworld Beast Kings appeared, it would be very difficult for those sent out to lure the Netherworld Beasts out to leave Netherworld Mountain alive.
"Um?"
Lin Xiaofei's eyes flashed, and he frowned slightly.
At this moment, he understood that Ren Yiyan was willing to sacrifice others in order to obtain a fourth-grade Dark Flower, and this action made him feel a little angry.
At the same time, he also understood that once he upgraded the 490-year-old Dark Flower in front of him to a fourth-grade Dark Flower, he would no longer be needed.
At that point, the other party might not be so polite to him either.
