Chapter 6: The Yanwu Tribe, Duan Tian Ridge

  "Bang!" The lewd and evil young man didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before being smashed into a bloody mist.

  "Bang!" A token fell out and spun rapidly in the air. On one side of the token were engraved the two characters "Yan Wu", while on the other side was a fiery crow with its wings spread wide.

  "Ah——you're looking for death! You really are looking for death!" The gloomy youth roared crazily, "You despicable worm, you're looking for death! You actually dare to kill my brother! I want you dead! Want you dead!"

  "Pffft——" The gloomy young man suddenly spat out a large mouthful of semen.

  "Boom! —— The bronze ancient spear was stained with blood, as if it had eaten something, and suddenly burst out a powerful and overwhelming pressure. A sharp killing intent erupted from the ancient spear."

  "Boom!" The enormous pressure shook open Lu Shaoyou's Heavenly Hand Imprint by over a meter, and the dark youth's face suddenly turned ashen. However, his eyes flashed with resentment and murderous intent.

  "Hey, you little brat! Wait for me, I won't let you off!" In this brief moment, the gloomy youth spat out a ruthless remark and transformed into a dazzling rainbow that fled far away. "I'll definitely come back to take revenge on you in the underworld!"

  "Did he actually let him escape?" Lu Shaoyou raised an eyebrow, feeling a twinge of displeasure in his heart. If you don't eradicate the root of the problem, it will grow back with the spring breeze. However, Lu Shaoyou didn't mind; others were making progress, and so was he. He had confidence that he could surpass Ming Sha, even if the other party was the reincarnation of the ancient strongman Youming Zun.

  Lu Shao grabbed with a big hand, and Yan Wu's command was caught in his hand.

  Luo Qingyin slowly walked forward and bowed deeply, saying: "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. I don't know if you are also going to the Yanwu tribe to participate in the outer gate selection?"

  "What's an outer gate selection? The Flame Crow Clan? What is that?" Lu Shaoyou asked in shock.

  This time it was Luo Qingyin's turn to be shocked, she stared at Lu Shao in astonishment, her eyes shining with surprise: "You actually don't know about the foreign selection of the Yanwu tribe? Then how did you get the Yanwu token?"

  "Yan Wu Command Token?" Lu Shaoyou looked at the token in his hand, "Is this it?"

  "Yes." Luo Qing nodded, "It's the one in Nanhuang, where there are twelve great king tribes of the demon clan and a sacred land that sits among them. The sacred land is high above, superior to the twelve king tribes, possessing the most elite talents of the demon clan, as well as the strongest warriors. The sacred land has been passed down for millions of years and still stands unshakeable, its depth is immeasurable. Next are the twelve great king tribes, whose strength is also extremely powerful, inherited from the era of the ancient great sages, and the Yanwu tribe is one of them."

  "The fellow daoists should know that in the Southern Wilderness, our demon tribe rarely has its own comprehension of magical formulas. Even if we do comprehend them, they are extremely crude. The previous 'Ming Sha' was an exception. It's rare for demons to receive ancient inheritances like this one. That's why the Twelve Great Demon Kings started selecting outsiders. As long as you have strength and talent, you can enter the outer tribe to cultivate. As for the inner tribe, it consists of personnel from each of the great demon kings' clans. Every year, there is a competition between the inner and outer tribes, and the top three will become core disciples." Luo Qingyan explained patiently.

  Lu Shao suddenly had an epiphany, thinking to himself that he definitely couldn't go back now. The people from Wan Nan Mountain and Qiu Feng Mountain were probably frantically chasing him down. Rather than this, it would be better to go to the Yan Wu tribe to broaden his horizons. Moreover, at present, he only had two techniques in hand: Treading Heaven Eight Steps and Covering Heaven Great Hand Seal. His attack methods were too single-minded; if he went to the Yan Wu tribe, perhaps he could learn new techniques!

  At this thought, Lu Shaoyou immediately decided to go to Yan Wuzi and participate in the selection of outsiders.

  "Fellow Taoist, why don't we go together?" Lu Shao seemed to have seen through his meaning, and Luo Qingyin smiled.

  "Good," Lu Shaoyou said with a smile, "stop calling me 'friend' and just call me Lu Shaoyou."

  "My name is Luo Qingyin." Luo Qingyin smiled and said.

  As they spoke, the two of them suddenly transformed into a magnificent rainbow and sped away.

  For three days, the two of them chatted and got to know each other better, especially their personalities. This made Lu Shaoyou very happy, but the only headache was Luo Qingyin's personality. Originally, Lu Shaoyou thought Luo Qingyin was an extremely quiet girl, but after three days together, he discovered that he was wrong, and his mistake was huge. Luo Qingyin was actually a little demon, chattering non-stop every day, making him almost wonder why he had rescued her in the first place.

  "Lu Gege, we're here." Lu Qingyin chirped excitedly, tugging on Lu Shao's hand like a little sparrow.

  Lu Shao-yu gazed up at the towering mountains in front of him, their peaks stretching endlessly into the clouds. He felt small for the second time, the first being during his cultivation a few days ago when he unintentionally sensed the vastness of the universe. This time, facing the majestic mountain where the silver snake danced, he was shocked again. The mountain wall was as smooth as if carved by a knife, reflecting cold light. The peaks stood like battle swords, piercing the sky and evoking a sense of awe in those who beheld them.

  "Is this the famous Duan Tian Ridge of Nan Huang?" Lu Shaoyou was deeply shocked, looking at the towering mountains, a wave of emotion in his heart. "Indeed, its reputation is not exaggerated..."

  "Of course!" - Luo Qingyin said beside him.

  Lu Shao's gaze swept across the Duan Tian Ridge, where many demons had already gathered. One of them was shrouded in an aura of suffering, wearing a pair of tattered hemp shoes and a worn-out hemp robe. He walked steadily through the snow, his every step intensifying the aura of suffering around him, his face growing increasingly somber. Another female demon wore a veil, her skin as clear as autumn water, her bones as white as jade, and her skin as delicate as crystal. Her three thousand black silk strands swayed gently in the wind and snow, exuding an air of mystery.

  Some of them had an aura on their bodies that was overwhelmingly powerful, with waves of vital energy surging up into the sky.

  So many strong ones. Lu Shao's heart is touched.

  "Off you go! Lu Da Ge! If you want to be chosen by the Yan Wu tribe as an outsider, you must walk on foot to the finish line." Luo Qingyin shouted loudly at Lu Shaoyou from a distance. "Don't space out!"

  "Haha, got it, Qingyin." Lu Shaoyou burst out laughing and strode forward, the mysterious ancient scripture within him stirring like a bell ringing, emitting an aura that was profound, mystical, overbearing, noble, and ancient, shooting up into the sky and causing the surrounding demons to glance at him in surprise.

  "Another powerhouse has arrived!"

  "Yes, I originally thought it was just Ye Ku, whose aura of hardship made one tremble with fear. But then came Li Yu Chen." A wolf demon whispered beside him.

  "Many powerful beings have emerged, and these geniuses are being born one after another. Is this a sign of something?" sighed a middle-aged-looking male demon.

  The crowd of demons was shocked and terrified by what they heard.

  On the Broken Sky Ridge, Lu Shao had truly experienced what it meant to be cut by wind and sword. The strong winds howled, and the intense cold air sliced through him, causing his aura to tremble slightly, as if he was being hacked at by a divine sword. The snowflakes that filled the sky seemed light as feathers, but when they were blown about by the strong winds, even Lu Shao found it hard to withstand. It was as if some powerful expert had used the momentum of heaven and earth to condense a suffocating aura in the air on Broken Sky Ridge, making it seem like if one stopped for just a moment, they would be crushed into pulp by the entire sky and earth.
