Chapter 1555: Chapter 360_4
“Therefore, I believe that our best strategy is to split up and search, but the distance between us shouldn’t be too far.”
Cao Zhen didn’t express an opinion; beside him, Immortal Ruo Yun and Linghu Gudu both nodded.
The four quickly stepped forward, heading onwards.
In the central area of the dense forest, eight people dressed in black gathered. In the middle of them lay a silver Unknown Immortal Demon Bead quietly.
The eight people gazed at this Treasure Bead, with each pair of eyes filled with anticipation. The most miraculous thing in the entire dangerous terrain was the Unknown Immortal Demon Bead.
If one is lucky, acquiring an Unknown Immortal Demon Bead might even allow them to ascend to the heavens in one step!
Of course, if luck is bad, one could be directly blown to death by the Unknown Immortal Demon Bead!
Soon, the seven people turned their gaze toward one of them, a man with a sinister and soft appearance, and someone asked, “Brother Shaxue, this Unknown Immortal Demon Bead? Do we open it ourselves? Or take it back to the Sect Hierarch?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer immediately came from the side: “To the Sect Hierarch? The Sect Hierarch now trusts the Love-Blood Devil greatly. Even though last time, the Love-Blood Devil led people to attack the Hundred Peaks Sect and ultimately returned in failure, the Sect Hierarch didn’t blame her.
Even if we bring back this Unknown Immortal Demon Bead to the Sect Hierarch, it won’t change anything.”
“That’s right; the Love-Blood Devil led us to divide a Great Teaching. What resource from the Unknown Immortal Demon Bead can compare to so many resources? If that’s truly the case, why don’t we use it ourselves!”
“Why give it to him? He’s just a temporary Sect Hierarch. Once the Indestructible Period experts awaken, he won’t be the Sect Hierarch anymore.”
“So, anyway, the best option is for us to keep the Unknown Immortal Demon Bead. But who will open it?”
Among them, Shaxue Demon laughed grimly and said, “So we’ll wait. We’re right in this dense forest; the Unknown Immortal Demon Bead fell here and was rightfully taken by us.
Its radiance surely will draw others’ attention. Just wait for someone to come, catch them, and let them open it.”
“Sounds good; we can also seize some treasures by the way.”
The group exchanged glances and quickly hid in the shadows.
Cao Zhen was unsure if it was because they entered this dense forest earlier that he followed behind Linghu Gudu, moving forward, but encountered no one.
As they proceeded, Hao Sword’s voice came through, “There are really too many trees in this dense forest; we shouldn’t stray too far.”
As he spoke, he moved closer to Immortal Ruo Yun’s direction. Among them, Immortal Ruo Yun was the strongest, so naturally, he wanted to stay closer to her.
Then, in the next moment, sudden sounds broke out from the surroundings, and figures leapt out swiftly, encircling Ruo Yun, Linghu Gudu, and the other three from their group, excluding him.
Someone!
His expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated while observing the sudden appearance of these figures.
“People from the Weeping Blood Demon Sect!”
Upon discerning that those surrounding the three were members of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, a look of fear crossed his face. If there were any demonic sect disciples he least wanted to meet, the Weeping Blood Demon Sect would definitely be among the top three. They were all madmen.
And now, the ones from the Weeping Blood Demon Sect surrounding Immortal Ruo Yun and the other three numbered as many as eight. Moreover, each person had a demonic mountain of immense height. Among them, even the weakest had a demonic mountain over thirty zhang tall, and the strongest had a demonic mountain nearly reaching sixty zhang!
It seemed like the Weeping Blood Demon Sect had long been ambushed here, waiting for someone to pass by and then surround and kill them.
As for himself, fortunately proposing the idea of proceeding with a distance between them, their encirclement wasn’t large enough to include him.
Here in the dense forest, everyone’s movement was impeded, rendering them unable to fly. In other locations, such a distance would be enough for them to ensnare him, but here in the dense forest…
Hao Sword reacted instantly, turned around, activated his cultivation technique, and his internal celestial energy surged to its peak, sprinting away at the fastest speed!
The opposition comprised of eight Earth Immortal Realm beings, twice their number, and each so powerful, they absolutely weren’t opponents.
Being surrounded by the Weeping Blood Demon Sect left no other outcome; since they weren’t opponents, their fate was sealed!
Since he wasn’t in the encirclement, there was no reason to hesitate in running away!
As for Immortal Ruo Yun, he could only apologize!
Though he wished for Immortal Ruo Yun to be his Dao companion, preserving his life had to come first.
Indeed, he accidentally discovered that Immortal Ruo Yun possessed vast resources, incredibly terrifying resources, which led him to consider making her his Dao companion. That’s why he journeyed with her from the Eastern Province to the Eastern Wasteland and ventured into this Fourth Dangerous Terrain.
But now, staying meant death, so why stay any longer!
“Brother, one escaped.”
Among the eight of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, one looked towards their leader, Shaxue Demon. They originally intended to gather all these people together and capture them in one fell swoop. However, due to the dispersal of the targets, they could only encircle three.
