Chapter 94

Perhaps because a special relationship had developed between them, Luo Xiu felt a tinge of guilt towards Yan Yue'er.

After all, it was because his strength was too weak that even after taking the Violent Essence Pill, he could not resist the Purple-Scaled Unicorn Python. If it weren't for that, Yan Yue'er wouldn't have fallen into a coma again to save him, and perhaps none of the subsequent events would have happened.

From the third area, they were transported to the second area, the first area...

All the way until they left the Myriad Demon Secret Realm and reappeared in the Guanlei Mountains, Luo Xiu and Yan Yue'er maintained their silence.

"I'm leaving."

After leaving the Myriad Demon Secret Realm, Yan Yue'er stood beside Luo Xiu, her beautiful eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.

Three hundred years of solitude, her heart set solely on revenge through cultivation. After so many years, she never expected to have such a ridiculous encounter with a young boy.

Luo Xiu's gaze trembled slightly. He wanted to keep her, but he had no reason to do so.

Her hatred ran deep, though she hadn't spoken of it, Luo Xiu could sense it. His strength was too weak to be of any help.

"Will we meet again?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Perhaps, if one day you can also reach the Martial Monarch realm."

As she spoke, Yan Yue'er took out the Dual Moon Demon Jade and the secret map from her storage ring and handed them to Luo Xiu, saying, "I won't give you the Essence Stone for now; I have a use for it."

Luo Xiu did not refuse the demon jade and the secret map, as the blood pearls obtained from hunting demon beasts in the secret realm had little effect on ordinary martial artists but could rapidly enhance his physical realm.

"Xiu Luo, this isn't your real name, is it?" Yan Yue'er suddenly asked.

"My name is Luo Xiu."

"I still think 'Xiu Luo' is a good name. Killing to gain fame, a blood-soaked Xiu Luo. I wonder when I can avenge my mother with the blood of my enemies." A trace of sorrow flashed in Yan Yue'er's beautiful eyes.

In the past, she was a Martial Monarch-level powerhouse, yet even with such strength, she could not avenge herself, indicating the terrifying power of her enemies.

"If one day I have the strength, I will avenge your enemies in the name of Xiu Luo." Luo Xiu said.

Yan Yue'er was initially stunned, then she sighed lightly, tiptoed, and lightly kissed Luo Xiu on the lips. Then she soared into the air and disappeared into the sky of the Guanlei Mountains.

"Luo Xiu, until we meet again..."

Luo Xiu felt a bit melancholic. She was a Martial Monarch, and even though she had fallen due to her primordial spirit injury, she would eventually recover and overlook the world.

But he was just a small innate cultivator, still striving to break through to the Spirit Cultivation realm.

Yan Yue'er could fly in the sky, and the demon beasts in the Guanlei Mountains dared not act rashly. However, Luo Xiu could only walk out on foot.

His senses spread out, and he detected several Spirit Cultivation-level demon beasts lurking in the depths of the Guanlei Mountains.

Three days later, Luo Xiu emerged from the depths and reached the outskirts of the mountain range.

The sky was already somewhat dark, and it would take about another day to leave the Guanlei Mountains.

Luo Xiu planned to find a safe place before nightfall and consume a few blood pearls to enhance his physical strength.

His figure darted through a small forest, and in his senses, he detected the aura of several human martial artists.

He leaped onto a thick tree branch, and despite the dim light, he could see over 300 meters away.

In a nearby forest, five figures were sitting around a campfire, roasting food.

The five people, three men and two women, with the middle-aged man being the most alert, seemed to have sensed a gaze and suddenly stood up, turning around and coldly shouting, "Who's there?"

Seeing the middle-aged man's actions, the other three people also became alert, with the young girl, who looked to be around the same age as Luo Xiu, being the most nervous, her eyes darting around.

The middle-aged man's alertness surprised Luo Xiu, clearly indicating he was an experienced hunter.

"I'm just passing by, with no ill intentions."

Luo Xiu leaped down from the branch and walked over.

The slightly youthful face of the young man seemed to slightly relax the group's vigilance, but the middle-aged man frowned, "Young brother, is there something you need?"

In the wild, killings were common, and every experienced hunter had struggled to survive on the brink of death.

Regardless of whether the young man had ill intentions, the middle-aged man did not want to interact with strangers in the wild unless necessary.

"Uncle Yang, you're being too cautious. He looks about my age," the young girl muttered.

"Miss, you are too naive and don't understand the dangers of the world," the middle-aged man said helplessly, his eyes never leaving Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu understood the middle-aged man's caution, which was a necessary survival skill for a qualified hunter in the wild.

"Sorry for the disturbance, I'll take my leave." He bowed and leaped away, disappearing into the dark forest.

Such hunting teams were common in the Guanlei Mountains. With Luo Xiu's keen eyes, he could see that the middle-aged man was so cautious mainly because of the young girl.

From the middle-aged man's respectful address of the girl as "Miss," it was clear that the four of them were likely bringing the young girl to the outskirts of the Guanlei Mountains for training.

Without the protection of the middle-aged man and his team, a young girl with no experience would find it difficult to survive.

As the sky grew darker, Luo Xiu found a hidden tree hollow nearby.

This was the outskirts of the Guanlei Mountains, where the strongest demon beasts were only at the innate level.

However, Luo Xiu did not let his guard down, taking out a fifth-grade defensive array disk and embedding a mid-grade Essence Stone to prevent any unexpected incidents.

In the tree hollow, Luo Xiu sat cross-legged, taking out several hundred mid-grade Essence Stones and activating the fifth-grade Spirit Gathering Array Disk.

Cultivating the body not only required refining blood and qi to strengthen the physical body but also needed sufficient elemental energy to nourish the body.

From his storage ring, he took out a Spirit Cultivation-level blood pearl. In the past three days, he had consumed four out of the seventeen Spirit Cultivation-level blood pearls, and now he was about to consume the fifth.

After half an hour, the fifth Spirit Cultivation-level blood pearl was refined, and the impure aura of the demon beast lingered in his body. However, under the cleansing of the life and death forces, it quickly dissipated.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly echoed from the sky above the Guanlei Mountains, accompanied by a surging wave of elemental energy.

At this moment, whether it was the demon beasts lurking in the forest or the hunters hiding in the mountains, all looked up with panic.

In the dark night sky, three figures stood in the air, two on one side and one on the other, facing each other with overwhelming momentum.

The lone figure was a woman, dressed in a tight black martial suit, with a curvaceous figure, surrounded by flames, and her fiery red hair flying behind her.

On the opposite side were two men, one with a robust build, holding a war saber, surrounded by small lightning arcs.

The other was a beardless man in a white scholar's robe, surrounded by nine palm-sized array flags.

Luo Xiu stepped out of the tree hollow, and his eyes widened at the sight of the woman.

Yan Yue'er!

The two men opposite her, with their overwhelming momentum, were clearly Martial Monarch-level powerhouses!

"Lei Weilong, Gongsun Qianji, do you dare to block me?" Yan Yue'er's face was cold, and she shouted.

"We are following orders, and we apologize," Lei Weilong said solemnly.

"More than half a month ago, the three supreme elders of the Yan family ordered a search of the Guanlei Mountains to find your whereabouts. It would be better for the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Monarch to surrender, to avoid any harm," Gongsun Qianji said with a faint smile.

"If the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Monarch hadn't been injured in her primordial spirit, we wouldn't dare to block you. But now that your cultivation has fallen to the Spirit Cultivation realm, you are no match for the two of us."

"If my cultivation recovers, I will destroy your Lei Martial Gate and the Gongsun family to the last!" Yan Yue'er's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Your betrayal of the Yan family is a capital offense. Whether you can survive is another matter. Since you refuse to surrender, I have no choice but to offend you!"

Gongsun Qianji coldly snorted, raised his hand, and the nine array flags around him flew out, forming an array in the air. "Lei Weilong, are you not going to act?"

Lei Weilong's figure flashed, and he charged into the array, his war saber emitting a crushing aura, lightning flashing, and slashing towards Yan Yue'er.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu was anxious, but his cultivation was too low to fly, and he could only watch helplessly as Yan Yue'er was surrounded by the two Martial Monarchs.

Lei Weilong was the head of the Lei Martial Gate, and Gongsun Qianji was the head of the Gongsun family, a fifth-grade array master!

If one could reach the fifth grade in array mastery, a Martial Monarch's divine sense could control the array flags to form arrays and kill enemies, making them much stronger than a regular Martial Monarch.

Both Lei Weilong and Gongsun Qianji were powerful Martial Monarchs, not weaker than Wen Qianhong.

The two Martial Monarchs' attacks sent a vast pressure sweeping over the Guanlei Mountains, causing countless demon beasts and human martial artists to tremble with fear.

"Boom!"

A figure fell from the sky like a meteor, and the fiery aura around it made Luo Xiu immediately recognize it as Yan Yue'er.

Even as a Martial Monarch, with her cultivation fallen to the Spirit Cultivation realm due to her primordial spirit injury, she could not withstand the attack of the two Martial Monarchs.

Luo Xiu's heart trembled, and he immediately used the Ten Directions Shadow Body Technique to its fullest, rushing towards the place where Yan Yue'er had fallen.

Gongsun Qianji used his divine sense to control the array flags, forming a trapping array to prevent Yan Yue'er from escaping.

Lei Weilong landed from the sky, his war saber stained with blood, indicating that he had injured the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Monarch in the previous battle.

The Heavenly Phoenix Martial Monarch was Yan Yue'er's title, one of the ten Martial Monarchs of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, each with their own title.

"Boom!"

A vast flame suddenly rose in the forest, illuminating the dark night.

A huge phoenix shadow appeared in the air, and Yan Yue'er's figure rose, surrounded by a terrifying aura.

Her lips were stained with blood, and there was a wound on her waist.

"Lei Weilong, Gongsun Qianji, remember this day, you will regret it!"

Yan Yue'er's voice was filled with murderous intent, and she clapped her hands, causing the phoenix shadow to emit a piercing cry and swoop down.

In an instant, the sky was filled with flames, the blinding firelight making it impossible to look directly.

"Bad, she's escaped!"

"Her suppressed primordial spirit injury will surely recur. We must chase her!"

The flames gradually dissipated, and Lei Weilong and Gongsun Qianji, both with singed and charred clothes, flew into the sky, chasing after Yan Yue'er.

When Luo Xiu arrived, he saw only a devastated forest, with signs of burning everywhere.

"Lei Martial Gate, Gongsun family!"

Luo Xiu's eyes were filled with a fierce killing intent, and he clenched his fists, remembering the names of Lei Weilong and Gongsun Qianji.

The feeling of being unable to protect the woman he cared for was unbearable, and he desperately needed strength, great strength!

I must become stronger!...
