Before Xing Yue could voice her dissatisfaction, Xing Yuan, baring her teeth, charged forward. How dare someone try to snatch the spot she had finally found!
Xing Yuan had already reached the mid-stage of the Earth Realm, and she was not afraid of Yan Chen, who was at the late stage of the Earth Realm.
A cold light shot towards Yan Chen. Yan Chen erected a protective shield, and an ice shard landed on the ground.
"A spirit beast with ice attribute?" Yan Chen's eyes held a hint of interest. "That's quite rare!"
Xing Yuan's gaze was also a little bewildered. It seemed like an instinct just now that made her use ice-attribute abilities.
Xing Yue also frowned. This wasn't right! Wasn't A Yuan previously suffering from the cold due to the special climate on Ruo Yue Peak? How could she suddenly have ice-attribute abilities?
But in the next second, Xing Yuan pounced again. What did it matter what abilities she had! She would drive this guy away first.
Yan Chen conjured a ball of fire in his hand and charged forward as well.
With a "boom," both sides were forced back.
Xing Yuan's white fur instantly turned dusty gray. She roared angrily and charged forward again. The insult of her fur being ruined could not be let go of so easily.
The two sides fought back and forth "happily." Xing Yue calmly continued to gather herbs. The other members of the Yan Huo Sect watched in stunned silence as the Sect Master's son fought a spirit beast without any regard for his image.
The two, no, one person and one beast, finally determined a victor. Xing Yuan triumphantly stepped on Yan Chen, her eyes filled with authority. Look, this was the territory she had conquered.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come help!" Yan Chen gritted his teeth, feeling utterly humiliated.
"Senior Brother, we're coming to help you." Several people reacted and instantly picked up their weapons and joined the fray.
A barrier instantly enveloped them.
Xing Yue looked at them with a half-smile, "Ganging up on someone is going too far. You'd better stay here obediently!"
Heaven Realm! Feeling the difference in cultivation levels, they immediately huddled together, not daring to act rashly.
They looked at Yan Chen with sympathy. Senior Brother, it's not that your junior brothers aren't helping you, it's just that this person is too strong, and they are powerless to assist.
Xing Yuan immediately straightened her back, proudly patting her paw pads. See? She had a backer.
Xing Yue used a cleansing spell to wash Xing Yuan's fur clean. Looking at the herb garden, which she had almost finished collecting from, she called out to Xing Yuan, "Let's go!"
Xing Yuan gave her paw pads another fierce swipe before happily following Xing Yue, her tail wagging cheerfully.
"Sister, was I amazing?" Xing Yuan asked after waiting for a while without receiving a response from Xing Yue.
"Amazing! Our A Yuan is the most amazing," Xing Yue said, stroking Xing Yuan's head, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Hehe!" Xing Yuan became even happier, her face beaming with uncontrollable smiles.
"Sister, why didn't you make a move just now?" Xing Yuan recalled the fight and became a little unhappy again.
"Because I knew that A Yuan was very capable and could definitely defeat that bad guy," Xing Yue said, looking down with a serious expression.
Xing Yuan giggled foolishly again. A crack appeared in Xing Yue's expression. How had A Yuan become more and more like a silly beast? It was unbearable to watch. (ㅍ_ㅍ)
"A Yuan, see where the spiritual energy is most concentrated?" Having discovered this skill of Xing Yuan's, Xing Yue decided to treat her as a treasure-hunting beast.
Xing Yuan lay on the ground and felt it gently, then headed straight for the core of the secret realm, where there was a powerful fluctuation.
Xing Yue followed her directly until they reached a stone cave.
"Could this be the core of this secret realm?" Xing Yue's expression turned solemn. She turned and instructed Xing Yuan, "Be careful, and stay close to me."
The two stone statues in front of the stone cave sensed the presence of living beings and broke out of the stone. The tall demonic beasts exuded a terrifying aura.
However, they merely stood in front of the stone cave, their pupils unfocused, and said sternly, "Halt, unauthorized personnel!"
Xing Yue's brow furrowed. Two Heaven Realm experts? This was indeed difficult to deal with.
But Xing Yue was not without a solution. After expending two high-grade magical artifacts to trap them, she seized the brief moment to rush into the interior of the stone cave.
The two demonic beasts seemed to lack intelligence. After breaking free from their restraints, they did not see their enemies and returned to their original positions, silently transforming back into stone statues.
As Xing Yue stepped into the stone cave, she discovered clear signs of damage on the ground. It seemed someone had entered before her.
"Over there!" Xing Yuan shouted and rushed in that direction.
"Be careful!" Before Xing Yue could finish speaking, she followed again.
Xing Yuan ran hastily through the stone cave, perfectly avoiding all the traps along the way. After Xing Yue stepped on a trap for the second time, she couldn't help but envy Xing Yuan's good luck. She was truly a darling of fate! Her fortune was so good. kuAiδugg
The two entered the core of the stone cave quite "smoothly." Inside, two groups of people were confronting each other.
"See! More people are coming. If we don't decide the outcome soon, who knows who these things will end up with!" Xi Qingyu said lazily, his eyes filled with impatience.
"Do I need you to tell me? You wouldn't even agree to a fifty-fifty split, what more do you want?" Shen Ying was almost furious. Although their Hao Yue Sect was not as strong as the Chu Yuan Sect, in the secret realm, their strengths were comparable. Why did they look down on them?
"Didn't I agree? It's just that we get to choose the first few items," Xi Qingyu said as a matter of course. Whoever was stronger should get more benefits, wasn't that normal?
Completely ignored, the person and the beast looked at the high platform. There were over a dozen light orbs on it, each containing something, but it was impossible to see clearly.
These two factions were wary of each other, and as a result, no one dared to take the items.
Xing Yuan's face was full of excitement, but she still whispered, "Sister, hurry up and go up, there's good stuff inside."
Xing Yue: "Where?"
"It's right below the high platform. The spiritual energy there is much more abundant than those strange things above," Xing Yuan wished she could rush over immediately.
However, although the strongest individuals in these two sects were also at the peak of the Earth Realm, she clearly felt that she couldn't defeat them in her current state.
So she shrank a little, jumped onto Xing Yue's shoulder, and urged her on.
"Okay!" Xing Yue nodded, her figure like a phantom, and directly arrived below the high platform.
Xing Yuan's wings spread out behind her, allowing her to fly for a few seconds. With a "snap," she pressed some unknown switch, and the two fell through the floor that suddenly opened in the middle.
"What was that sound? Where did those two people go?" Shen Ying exclaimed.
Xi Qingyu's expression also turned grim. Could there be something they hadn't discovered?
The two of them walked forward in unison, reaching the area below the high platform, and continuously observed with the techniques they possessed. However, the place they had just entered seemed to have an entry condition, and the mechanism had completely closed after they entered.
