In fact, the instant Xiu Qiyu's aura appeared, a fluffy ball of white fur, lying lazily on the soft spiritual grass in the inner circle, wagging its tail happily, opened its eyes and then closed them again.
This is the most central part of the inner circle, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the forbidden area of the inner circle. Here, spiritual energy is abundant, mist permeates the air, spiritual herbs abound, and towering ancient trees form a complex array that blocks outside influences and protects this forbidden land.
Here, there are no spirit beasts or demon beasts. It is a world unto itself, not bound by the laws of heaven. All creatures that attempt to approach or occupy this place are destroyed without exception.
Over time, this place became a forbidden area for everyone.
No one knows who the powerful will at the core belongs to, and no one dares to challenge it.
Xiu Qiyu continued walking deeper into the area, carefully collecting any spiritual herbs she encountered and storing them in her spatial ring. She avoided magical beasts whenever possible, and if avoidance was impossible, she would engage them in combat. High-level magical beasts were valuable from head to toe, which was a source of income for the penniless Xiu Qiyu.
The deeper one ventures, the higher the grade of the medicinal herbs become, and these herbs are often guarded by powerful magical beasts. Xiu Qiyu usually tries to lure these beasts away and then stealthily takes the herbs. Alternatively, he directly challenges them, and if he wins, he can naturally take the herbs with him.
Xiu Qiyu didn't go on a killing spree. Firstly, the back mountain was fraught with danger, and a reckless battle would give the predators behind him an opportunity to take advantage. Secondly, he hadn't forgotten that the leader of these demonic beasts and spirit beasts was still watching from deep within the back mountain. These demonic beasts had once saved Xiao Yezi, and it wouldn't be right for him to repay kindness with enmity.
However, the further he went, the stronger the magical beasts became. In the end, Xiu Qiyu tragically discovered that he couldn't even defeat a single magical beast. He accidentally wandered into the territory of a magical beast and could only flee in panic. Sometimes, he was even chased and killed.
Unfortunately, he was being relentlessly pursued by four demonic beasts with strength equivalent to the Mahayana stage, pushing his speed to the limit as he rapidly advanced through the dense forest. However, these demonic beasts were clearly more familiar with the terrain of the back mountain than Xiu Qiyu, putting him in a very precarious situation.
Finally, he braced himself and ventured into the territory of the golden-armored rhinoceros, continuing his escape. This angered a white-haired golden ape, and several demonic beasts began to fight each other, giving him the opportunity to escape.
"Tianyi—"
"Tianyi—"
One of the birds in the inner circle elegantly flicked its tail, indicating that the wind was too strong and it couldn't hear it.
Xiu Qiyu's two shouts immediately enraged the demonic beasts and magical beasts in the inner circle. Damn it, it's been a long time since they've encountered such arrogant humans. Don't they know that the inner circle is the domain of us demonic beasts, spirit beasts, and magical beasts? Still howling here, what are they howling about? It's so noisy, how are they supposed to sleep?
Xiu Qiyu had just shouted when he realized something was wrong. The intense killing intent was directed at him. He had accidentally stirred up a hornet's nest. Oh no, he had to run!
The Shadowless Sword was instantly drawn, and Xiu Qiyu, stepping on it, almost became a series of afterimages. Behind him were countless roaring demonic beasts, monsters, and spirit beasts that wanted to tear him apart.
If anyone were to witness this scene, they would be utterly astonished. How did Xiu Qiyu manage to incur such hatred? He's offended a whole pack of crazed beasts. Without a doubt, Xiu Qiyu will be torn to shreds by these beasts, leaving no trace of his remains.
After all, this is equivalent to a medium-sized beast tide. For one person to fight against so many beasts is simply a pipe dream and an impossible task.
Xiu Qiyu never expected things to develop to this point. Having just come out of the Tianxuan Secret Realm, she was now being relentlessly pursued by Jue Ming. Her luck was truly unbelievable.
Xiu Qiyu gained many benefits in the Tianxuan Secret Realm and his strength improved a bit, but he was facing hundreds of spirit beasts, demon beasts, and monsters. Even with his extraordinary abilities, he would definitely not escape death today.
An hour later, Xiu Qiyu's white clothes had turned into beggar's clothes, and his face was covered with blood. He held the Shadowless Sword tightly in his hand, the blade as white as new, without a trace of blood.
Xiu Qiyu knew that these beasts' activity range was the inner circle. If he could successfully escape the inner circle today, he could survive and look forward to revenge in the future.
Now, Xiu Qiyu realized that this was definitely some vengeful and petty divine beast deliberately playing a trick on him.
With so many high-level beasts, who else in the entire back mountain besides Tianyi could command them? It seems Tianyi is living a very comfortable life, and there's nothing for him to worry about. This trip of his has been a waste.
Once again unleashing a barrage of ten thousand swords, Xiu Qiyu shouted, "Tianyi, Xiao Yezi will be here soon."
Suddenly, a lazy white fluffy creature in the inner circle opened its eyes. Its golden eyes were full of interest. Little Leaf was coming, which meant there would be delicious candies and delicious roasted meat.
The white fluffy ball flicked its tail. Xiu Qiyu hadn't lied to it, had he? Never mind, Little Leaf hadn't come to see it for so long, it must be related to Xiu Qiyu. He was a very vengeful beast, so it would definitely teach Xiu Qiyu a lesson.
After receiving their leader's order, the beasts that were besieging Xiu Qiyu happily pounced on him.
The boss said that this human is their new toy, and they can play with him as they please, just don't kill him.
So, Xiu Qiyu, who had been reduced to a toy, spent quite a while dealing with these highly intelligent beasts before he realized their true purpose: they could have killed him, but they deliberately left him a way out.
There was even some communication between the beasts. Their flirtatious glances, their nonchalant and gloating expressions—if he said it wasn't orchestrated by someone, he wouldn't believe it himself. That bastard Tianyi, does he even know what "pillow talk" means?
A furry little paw was pawing at the fluffy ball of luminous pearl beneath its feet. Its ears twitched a few times. Who was eyeing it like this? Without a doubt, it was Xiu Qiyu. With a little more force from the little paw, the luminous pearl beneath its feet turned into a pile of powder.
"Fine, for Xiao Yezi's sake, I'll let you go this time." Tian Yi roared silently towards the sky, and the group of beasts that were besieging Xiu Qiyu froze for a moment, ceasing their attacks. Xiu Qiyu seized this opportunity, escaped their encirclement, and without looking back, stepped on the Shadowless Sword, prioritizing his survival.
After running for a while, not far from the outer circle, Xiu Qiyu turned around and found no pursuers. Had the beasts reformed? How could that be? Then there was only one possibility: Tianyi had ordered them to stop.
Xiu Qiyu glanced at her utterly disheveled state and silently made several accusations against Tian Yi.
