Chapter 11: The Five-Person Expedition in the Immortal Realm

  A forceful speech, the demon's heart blooming with anger. With her next target confirmed, she finally relaxed, Xiao Pao got her consent and excitedly went to find food; Pixiu curiously looked at its shortened fur, uncomfortably shaking; while Chu Xue and Lan Ling obediently followed her, not leaving her side; as for Ben Lei, he stood alone in the corner, clearly unable to blend into the warm atmosphere.

  "Hey kiddo, are you hungry?" Rubbing her slightly rounded tummy, Mo Jiu Yu didn't say another word and took out a lot of food.

  "It's okay." Holding the big hand at her waist, she played with it lightly and opened her mouth obediently, waiting for the man to feed her. So, habits are really a terrible thing, they can make an independent and strong person gradually become dependent, from a strong woman to a weak and delicate little bird.

  "Ah, I suddenly think this kind of life isn't bad either~ it's carefree and has a unique charm." Mo Jiu pinched a small piece of fragrant and soft dried meat, and fed it to her mouth, the smile at the corner of his lips never stopping.

  "Is that all the ambition of the great Demon King?" He teased, glancing at the man with a playful look, and casually changed to a more comfortable position to lean against. At this time, Gluttony also dragged back a prey, swaying back.

  "My ambition is to take you down! Look, isn't this a success?" With a light bite on Qing Kuang's ear, Mo Jiu let out a low, sultry laugh, slowly turning the bite into a kiss.

  "Dodging" behind the man's attack, just about to break free, was pulled back and hugged tightly.

  "Do you like it? Hmm, don't you dislike other women getting close to me?" The slightly raised tone revealed the man's good mood.

  "Go away!" She was pushed and pulled by the man who kept getting closer, but in the end she became a soft and fluffy bundle, locked in his arms.

  "Like... is it?" leaned into Qing Kuang's ear, the low and enchanting voice sounded again, and after Qing Kuang nodded, the man almost fainted from beauty.

  A sweet scene of the two, but it made Gluttony feel depressed. He had been waiting for a long time, but the master and mistress were still "kneading dough" and seemed to be in a good mood. However, he was very hungry... Sensing the man's good mood, Gluttony bravely took the first step, then carefully stretched out his paw, pulled at Light Yagami's clothes, and finally used his killer move, looking pitifully at Light Yagami and uttering one word, "Hungry~"

  Upon hearing this, Qing Kuang looked at the little guy beside him and glared at the man before starting a fire to roast meat.

  "Not letting go yet?"

  "Who was it that I had to hold onto before?" Although she said so, Moyao Yu still loosened her grip a bit, allowing Qingkuang's range of motion to increase by thirty centimeters.

  "Hey, you! Yes, I'm talking to you!" A loud shout summoned Lei Feng over. As he walked over in surprise, Qinglang pointed at him without hesitation and ordered him to work, "You go wash these peeled skins clean."

  "What's the point of me going, it's not like I'm eating?" Ben Lei walked forward, looking at the bloody prey with disgust, and didn't forget to glare fiercely at Piao Yu, why did he have to serve a divine beast food?

  "Just go, just go, why so many useless words?" If it weren't for the fact that he could transform into a human form with hands and feet, she wouldn't be willing to bother with this extremely poorly behaved, bullying weak and small super divine beast!

  "I don't..."

  "You are older than him."

  "That's not it either..."

  "You hurt him before."

  "But..."

  "You are all my contracted beasts now, and I don't like beasts that don't listen, got it?"

  Then, with a guilty conscience, Benlei dragged that sheep away, preparing to go find some water nearby.

  "Lan Ling, go help him."

  "Oh, okay!" With a whoosh, the blue lightning bolt shot out and chased after the thunder in front.

  After Light and the beasts had eaten their fill and rested for a night, they set out once again with renewed spirits.

  The next day, after cleaning up, Mo Jiu You hugged Qing Kuang and teleported to the Xun Shen Peak of the Yan Suo Empire.

  Xīn Yuàn Líng Yuán is perhaps just a legend for people living on this continent, a legend that it is hidden on this continent and silently guarding the Lingyuan Continent, making it peaceful and harmonious. However, even if it's just a legend, Mó Jiū Yōu can still dig it up.

  Apart from Qing Kuang, there are others who have their sights set on this Heart's Desire Spirit Source. As the saying goes, "enemies are bound to meet", previously Qing Kuang had no choice but to take the initiative and contract the Super Divine Beast Lei Dun, now it seems he is going to snatch away what others "love".

  Five people wearing white cloaks had already appeared on the Xunshen Peak, and in terms of appearance, they were not much different from the divine envoys who had received Qingkuang at first. When Qingkuang arrived, he did not let Mo Jiao Yu appear immediately, and if she wanted to continue mixing in the divine realm later, it was not advisable to conflict with them for now.

  "Chu Lü, are you sure there's something good here? Don't try to cheat us!" The man who spoke had a youthful voice, with a hint of arrogance typical of young people, although he tried his best to suppress it.

  "Believe it or not, it's up to you." The speaker seemed to be the leader of the five, and his words were truly arrogant and lawless.

  "Alright, let's listen to Chu's plan. If we mess things up again this time, it'll be us who can't hold our heads high in the divine realm."

  "Shangguan Yang, don't try to teach me, I know this of course! Originally, we were sent by the higher-ups to pick up people, who would have thought that they all disappeared without a trace? We didn't get the person, how can we go back and explain? Luckily, there's a way to make up for it, but then who would have thought that the super divine beast also vanished into thin air? Time is running out this time, if we don't bring anything back, we'll be punished! That place is where people step on each other, everyone is tied to the same rope, if we really get punished, no one can escape!" Yun Kuang, a man with a name that struck fear into the hearts of many, said in exasperation. He never thought that this time out, all the bad luck would befall them. Compared to other continents, Lingyuan Continent was still relatively favored by the higher-ups, because there were more talented people here than elsewhere. Who knew that before they even reached the Divine Realm, these people would disappear? When he heard that these people had gone to capture the super divine beast, he was still congratulating them on their good eyesight, but now both the people and the beast have vanished. What a great trip they've made, if they return empty-handed, won't those arch-enemies laugh at them till their teeth fall out? Fortunately, Chu Lü didn't know from where, but he knew that there was a rare treasure on this Xun Shen Peak, if they could really bring it back, it would be considered making up for their mistakes.

  "Hum, Cloud! This doesn't need to be said by you, everyone already knows in their hearts..."

  "It's fine if you know, I'm not like some people who have someone backing them up..." Cloud Quo said with a sarcastic tone, looking at Chu Lü.

  "Alright, let's each say one less sentence! Chu Lü, what do you think we should do now?" said one of the two people who had been following behind the three noisy ones.

  "Qi Jili, you're not a good thing either, you're all in the same boat. I know you look down on me, everything is decided by Chu Lü's words, and everyone thinks what Chu Lü says is correct. Let me tell you, this time when we go back, we'll disperse! Why does Chu Lü always have to suppress him? Why do people respect Chu Lü instead of Yun Kuo? He can't swallow his pride."

  "Alright, let's go!" Without giving Yun Kuo another glance, Chu Lv led the way forward, and the others followed suit, leaving Yun Kuo behind by himself.

  Seeing this scene in front of him, he seemed to be thinking deeply, and after slapping the big hand that was making trouble at his waist, he quickly came up with an idea.

  "What's another one of your bright ideas, huh?"

  "Mantis stalks cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

  "Want to rob again?"

  "What's robbery? Something that doesn't belong to anyone, of course belongs to whoever has it in their hands!" Upon hearing this, Qingkong became displeased and directly slapped Mo Jiu's large hand down.

  "Alright, alright, it's yours! It's yours! What does that girl want to do next?"

  "Follow them." Now there are ready-made ones, isn't it good?

  Xiao Yaotou's decision, Mo Jiu You naturally wouldn't refuse, and followed Chu Lü and the others at a steady pace, but would absolutely not be discovered by them. However, regarding the abilities of these few humans, the man held a reserved opinion, according to what he knew, this Heart's Desire Spirit Source wasn't something that could be easily obtained.

  Hiding in the void, the two closely followed Chu Lü and his party.

  The height of Xun Shen Peak is not something that ordinary people can climb, and at this time they are standing at the top of the mountain, unable to see anything below. The entire mountain peak is like being cut off at the waist by the clouds in the sky, and these faintly blue clouds themselves are a test, with only a handful of people able to break through the cloud layer to reach the summit. Walking ahead, Chu Lü and his group were carefully observing their surroundings, they didn't know what treasure Chu Lü was talking about, but this person's identity was different from theirs, it was normal for him to know some secret things, and since everyone had been together for so long, they also knew what kind of person Chu Lü was, although he was a bit taciturn, his strength was still evident.

  "Be careful!" Chu Lü's usual few words were always on high alert.

  "There's nothing impressive about this..." On the way, nothing dangerous was encountered. Yun Kuo still liked to drink and sing in a discordant voice. Suddenly his voice stopped abruptly, and then he started talking nonsense as if he had lost his mind.

  "Hahaha, I'm the first, I'm the first, what Chu law, all are my defeated generals, kill you, kill you... Hahaha, I'm the number one in the divine realm, I'm the most powerful, I'm the new generation of divine son, divine son..."

  Apart from Yun Kuo, everyone else also had a gritted teeth and stiff expression, but the cold sweat on their foreheads revealed that they were not doing well either.

  It was only when she carefully observed her surroundings again that she discovered the rocks and trees on this mountain peak had formed an illusionary array that could bewilder people's minds. What made her even more curious was who would have set up such an array here? However, looking at the abnormal crowd, Qing Kuang's originally surprised expression turned into disappointment - couldn't they even get past a small illusionary array?

  "It's an illusion! Everyone, keep your minds clear and don't look at what you see in front of you. Don't think about anything, just listen to me! Left three forward five, right retreat two, up six left two!" Clenching his teeth, Chu Lü's face also turned serious in an instant.

  At that moment, the three of them followed Chu Lyu's footsteps and stepped out of the formation in a strange rhythm. However, Yun Kuo was not so lucky, still trapped in the formation, shouting loudly and occasionally bursting into mad laughter. When the others came to their senses and heard his words again, they all changed color, how could he dare to speak ill of the Crown Prince? At that moment, everyone's eyes turned to Chu Lyu, who indeed looked unwell with a stern face, directly transforming the wooden spiritual energy in his hand into a belt-like shape, pulling Yun Kuo out. However, this was not a normal way to exit the formation, so the surrounding mechanisms all greeted Yun Kuo, and when he came to, he cried out in pain. This scene shocked Qing Kuang, who realized that earlier, when Chu Lyu used his spiritual energy, the array under his feet was silver! Even the wooden spiritual energy had a hint of silver, looking solemn yet noble and sacred.

  "Chu Lü, what do you mean?" Glaring fiercely at Chu Lü, Yun Kuang's face was twisted in agony.

  "Mind your own business!"

  "This disease comes from the mouth and disaster also comes from the mouth, take care of yourself!"

  The three people's faces didn't look as bad as Chu Lü's, but when they heard those words, their faces changed, and then they looked at Yun Kuo who had fallen to the ground with disdain. I really didn't expect that this person would still have such thoughts!

  "What do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it out loud and clear. What's the point of hiding and concealing?" The man's face looked unpleasant, and Yun Kuo, who had been shouting nonstop, suddenly forgot what he had said earlier.

  "Let's go!" No longer paying attention to Yun Kuo, Chu Lü led the way out of here, and the three people behind also followed one after another. Only Yun Kuo was still there, muttering to himself.

  And on the other side, Mo Jiu You, who was watching, felt uncomfortable in her heart, and wrapped Qing Kuang in her arms, biting her red lips discontentedly, also blocking Qing Kuang's eyes.

  "Hey, what's up?"

  "I don't like you looking at other men."

  "Alright, I won't look at them, only at you. Now it's time to catch up with them!" As expected, upon hearing this, Mo Jiu Yu was satisfied and gently took Qing Kuang's hand, following in their footsteps once again.

  They continued to climb up, and at the highest point on the mountain top, a huge cave suddenly appeared. Those who were still hesitant saw Chu Lü take the lead and walk in, and they also followed closely behind. The slowest one, Yun Kuo, had finished bandaging his wound and hurriedly caught up with them, but it would be better if he could ignore the gloom in his eyes.

  The further they walked in, the dimmer the light became, yet the spiritual energy around them grew thicker and more intense, surpassing even "heart expansive and spirit delightful". In an instant, Chu Lü's group of people brightened up, taking big breaths one after another, sweeping away their previous depression.

  However, opportunities and dangers coexist, and before they could catch their breath, an even greater crisis almost crushed them.

  A chill wind blows, and no one would have thought that in such a sacred place, countless evil spirits would appear. However, they want to break free, but it's as if they are being restrained by something, and can only block the road here, engaging in fierce battles with those who want to pass through, calming the evil thoughts in their hearts. Even the carefree ones were shocked by the color of these evil spirits, a deep black that showed the accumulation of years.

  "Hey girl, want to go? I'll take you there directly, what's so good about these people?" Mingming's spiritual source was just below, he could quickly retrieve it, then they wouldn't have to waste time here.

  "No need, I'd like to see their level of strength, so I'll have a bottom line in my heart later." The same white cloak, it can be seen that these people are not comparable to those in the Lingyuan Institute. That is to say, they may live on those floating islands in the sky that were seen before, a true fairyland! She wants to know how big the gap is between them.

  "What's good-looking about them? They're nothing but shameful things." Magu snorted in disdain at the strength of these humans.

  "Alright, alright, I know you're powerful, you're the Demon King, you're the strongest. Now be good and listen to me, don't disturb me~" She patted the man's handsome face, speaking in a gentle and soothing tone, treating him like a child.

  "Hey girl, are you itchy?" The words full of danger floated into the ears of the frivolous and reckless person, but carried a bit of itchiness.

  "Who did you say?"

  "Uh... alright, alright. Look, I won't bother you anymore..." The little girl can't be provoked now, or else who will he go to for hugs and kisses in the future?

  Glaring at the man with a scowl, Qingkong helped him adjust his posture and sat steadily to watch the show.

  Except for Chu Lü, everyone else was shocked and pale. Yun Kuo, who arrived later, changed his face and shouted angrily, "Chu Lü, what do you mean? You're dragging us to our deaths with you?"

  For a moment, the eyes of the other three people also kept changing, and their faces didn't show anything, but they had doubts in their hearts.

  How could Chu Lü not know about their change of heart? Hmph, a group of narrow-minded fools!

  "Do you know how long this world has been around? How can these precious treasures not be guarded, and the more dangerous they are, the more precious they become? I don't need to say more about that! Are you guys scared? If you're scared, then Chu Lü will definitely not stop those who want to leave!" The usually taciturn man had said so much this time, it was clear that he was furious.

  Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yang and Qi Jili exchanged a glance, dispelling the doubts in their minds, and gazed solemnly at the evil spirits surrounding them.

  "Up!" Just after giving the order, Chu Lü led the charge and rushed out. They had just arrived here, but there was already such a dangerous situation waiting for them. Should they continue on their way down?

  All five were in the realm of cultivation, with a silver flashing formation appearing under their feet, dazzling and intimidating, yet subtly carrying an air of nobility.

  When the five of them made a move, the evil spirits around them also rushed forward. It had been a long time since they had smelled the taste of fresh flesh, and now there were five big living people delivering themselves to their doorstep. How could they not cherish this? However, in the air, there was always a feeling that made them tremble with fear. It seemed like nothing was there, but something must be present to create such an astonishing pressure. Unbeknownst to them, Mo Jiu's aura had already been retracted, at least without letting Chu Lü and others discover it. It could only be said that after leaving the physical body, these evil spirits became even more sensitive.

  "Chu Lü, what's going on? If we keep fighting like this without any progress, we'll eventually exhaust ourselves to death!" The one speaking was Shangguan Yang, his large, bright phoenix eyes filled with anxiety. These evil spirits didn't seem to know what was happening either, they were completely different from the ones they had encountered before. In the past, when they said "exterminate", it meant extermination, but now these evil spirits just wouldn't give up, one moment they would be defeated and disappear without a trace, the next moment they would recover as if nothing had happened and continue attacking them.

  In an instant, the five men who were originally elegant and refined gentlemen became somewhat disheveled. Some evil spirits even broke through their defenses, scratching out wounds on their bodies, leaving their faces, necks, and arms covered in a dark aura that ceaselessly stirred up their violent emotions, seeking to take advantage of the opportunity to drag them into an abyss.

  The strong in the Xian Xia realm were at a loss when facing these evil spirits, and even had their bodies covered in wounds.

  "Mù Xīn ào Xiān Jué!" translates to "Wooden Heart Secret Technique!"

  At this moment, Chu Lyu let out a loud roar, and a drop of blood seeped out from between his eyebrows, accompanied by a powerful explosion of spiritual energy, like a burst of light that illuminated the dark cave. The green paper strips, along with dazzling silver light, filled the entire space, as if an iron tree had suddenly bloomed. With Chu Lyu at the center, all the evil spirits around him were bound or pierced by the green paper strips, and the entire evil spirit formation was momentarily frozen in place.

  "Go! Get out of here!"

  "What about you?"

  "Aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for death?" Some overbearing evil spirits had already collided with the spiritual tree, causing it to lean crookedly. Chu Lü's face also changed color repeatedly.

  No more words were needed, and Shangguan Yun, along with Qi Ji Li and the others, all rushed forward. The bloodstained and injured Yun Kuang was even more attractive to these evil spirits, and when they saw those people leave without taking him, he felt an intense anger in his heart!

  "Huo Ling Ao Xian Jue!"

  With a loud bang, the raging flames helped him kill his way out of a bloody path. As he passed by, the eerie howls of the Evil Spirit Gate grew even more sinister and menacing as they watched him. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, a way out revealed itself, and Yun Kuang didn't wait for Chu Lü behind him, taking a deep breath and charging straight out.

  After the four of them had passed, Chu Lü finally manipulated those wooden spiritual powers. The two-person-tall wooden spiritual trees were swaying back and forth as if they had been ravaged by a fierce gale. In an instant, the powerful spiritual power of the tree swung forward fiercely, and when it rebounded, it borrowed strength to send Chu Lü flying out, successfully escaping this evil spirit formation.

  The five people were exhausted and gasping for breath, but they also had a sense of relief and joy at having narrowly escaped disaster. However, as they looked at each other, their faces all showed a serious expression. What was going on here?

  "Chu Lü, if you don't make it clear now, I won't follow you in no matter what!" Yun Kuo said fiercely, staring at him with scarlet eyes.

  "Yes, Chu Lü, you should also tell us the truth first, so that we can be prepared in our hearts. Otherwise, we might lose our lives without knowing what we're dying for." Qi Jili continued along with Yun Kuo's words.

  The other two people did not express their opinions, but they also stared at Chu Lü all the time.

  "I don't know!"

  "Chu Lü, are you fooling me?" These three words instantly ignited the anger in Yun Kuo's heart, and he rushed towards him without any regard, but was pulled back by Shang Guan Yang.

  "Officer Yang! Get out of my way! If you push me too hard, I'll fight you together! Scram!" With a kick and a shove, Yun Kuo was clearly enraged to the point of dizziness, not even using his spiritual energy.

  "Anyway, we've already come this far, and now it's not easy to go back either. Might as well see it through to the end!"

  "You fart! Chu Lü, I'm not done with you yet, I'm not done with you!" Yun Kuo's face was furious and crazy, the wound that hadn't been treated in time was bleeding profusely again, but Yun Kuo, who had gone mad, didn't care.

  "Alright, Yun Kuo, calm down!"

  "I won't let you go, I won't let you go......I won't let you go......" Glaring at Chu Lü, Yun Kuang was cursing like a poisonous oath.

  "Alright, since everyone can still walk, let's continue forward. Time is limited, we must hurry." After saying this, Chu Lü led the way and walked ahead.

  The rest of the people had complaints in their hearts, but they couldn't help but follow. Chu Lü was the strongest among them, and if it weren't for this protective umbrella, who knows whether they could have left safely or not!

  Always seeing everyone's reaction in her eyes, Chu Lü was slightly surprised to see that this person with a personality had taken a look at her, and this temperament was very much to her taste!

  "Look at him again!"

  "Ah...... it hurts......" A low, muffled cry escaped her lips, and a neat set of teeth marks appeared on her face, which even turned slightly red. "Why did you bite me again?"

  Looking at Xiao Yatou covering her face and looking at him with shame and anger, Mo Jiu's heart slightly reduced his anger.

  "You said you loved me before, why are you staring at another man now? You've looked more than twice, if you want to look, look at me!" The man's face was slightly arrogant and crazy, and he lightly kissed the place where he had just passed.

  "You bit me so hard..." The big, watery eyes stared straight at Mo Jiu You, and Qing Kuang felt that the right half of her face was burning with pain, numbness, and swelling.

  "Does it hurt? Look at you, next time don't look at other men... Let me see, really hurts?" As soon as Qing Kuang said it hurt, Mo Jiu Yu's heart felt uncomfortable again, especially seeing his servant girl's teary eyes. Had he really bitten too hard just now?

  "Alright, no need to rub it in, let's hurry up and follow." She had been drawn to the silver magic array just now, as well as the mysterious and powerful feeling of the Auspicious Omen, which made her want to investigate further.

  "Go wherever you go, don't go!" As soon as he mentioned this, the man was very dissatisfied, his big hands were still rubbing against her delicate face, and the obvious tooth marks were still hanging on her tender face.

  She pecked him lightly on the thin lips, looking at him with a gentle and expectant gaze. Seeing that the man had relaxed his guard, she took advantage of the opportunity to kiss him again, and was finally caught by him, turning passive into active.

  "Go ahead, I'm curious~" Originally an expected light tone suddenly changed, and he fell onto Mojue You's body in an instant, trembling all over.

  "Girl, what's wrong? What's wrong?" As soon as he saw Qing Kuang in this state, all the teasing and joking were thrown far away.

  "Devil... devil... devil nine yin..." Big drops of cold sweat streaked across, the pain of being tortured by madness was unbearable.

  Digression

  Ladies and gentlemen, guess what happened next~

  In addition, Zhang decided that tomorrow would be 20,000 more words, no matter what, it would be 20,000 more words. Even if he was beaten to death, he would still write 20,000 more words. This time, Zhang said he would keep his promise, and if he didn't, he would voluntarily go to the corner of the socialist wall, where a brick had already been prepared for him by his relatives.
