Chapter 79: Yun Wu

Squeak, squeak...

Fierce cries echoed from the cave, dense and numerous, clearly indicating that the enemies were not just a few.

Almost simultaneously, black shadows surged from the opposite direction. Under the moonlight, a group of ferocious monkeys, with green faces and fangs, fierce eyes, and sharp claws, lunged toward Xu Daoyan and Bai Shi!

What was even more shocking was that each ferocious monkey possessed the combat strength of a terrestrial immortal. This was the most terrifying aspect. These monkeys were as large as ordinary adults, extremely savage, and had incredible strength and long arms.

Bai Shi roared, activating the Mystic Turtle Shield. He transformed into a human-shaped tyrannosaurus, charging head-on into the ferocious monkeys!

A ferocious monkey lunged and collided fiercely with the Mystic Turtle Shield.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking echoed, followed by the ferocious monkey's惨叫声. Everyone could see its bones twisting as it was thrown away. After all, it was a flesh and blood creature, how could it withstand the elite-grade earth weapon refined by the senior elder of the Mo family!

Xu Daoyan, on the other hand, activated the Thunderbolt Spear in his hand and threw it with all his might. Lightning flashed on the spear, branching out and rolling violently.

Thud! Thud!

The Thunderbolt Spear, fully activated, was incredibly powerful!

Combined with Xu Daoyan's strength, the spear pierced through two ferocious monkeys, blood splattering. Following the lightning, two monkeys were pinned to the ground, their bodies writhing and convulsing, still struggling to survive!

The lightning ravaged inside them, destroying their vitality and rapidly depleting their lives!

Xu Daoyan did not stop. He picked up the Immortal Feather Bow, drawing the golden immortal energy from his lungs and condensing it into an arrow.

With full force, even Tian Tian, Shi Yun, and Sun Ling felt the power of the golden arrow, giving them a slight stinging sensation as if their skin was about to be cut!

Whoosh!

A golden light shot through the air, and the crowd saw two more ferocious monkeys flying toward them, their bodies cut in half at the waist, blood gushing out, staining the cave floor red.

The strong smell of blood spread throughout the cave!

Advancing rapidly, Xu Daoyan, under Bai Shi's protection, rushed to the Thunderbolt Spear, gripped the spear, and infused his energy into it. Lightning surged, tearing apart the ferocious monkeys, completely extinguishing their vitality before he pulled out the spear!

The ferocious monkeys with broken bones were also smashed to death by Bai Shi, eliminating any potential threats!

After killing five ferocious monkeys, there was no more sound.

Xu Daoyan and Bai Shi continued to advance ten feet, discovering a relatively spacious area inside the cave.

It was about ten feet wide, much more open than the cave's passage, and even larger than the open space outside the cave.

Clearly, this was where the five ferocious monkeys usually lived. Xu Daoyan sighed in relief and said, "Let's clean up, and we'll stay here!"

"I'll go clean up the bodies of the ferocious monkeys," Bai Shi responded, as this was a routine task for him.

"Brother Daoyan, I didn't expect your cultivation to have advanced so much in such a short time. The power of that arrow just now was truly astonishing, but it still has flaws that need improvement!" Shi Yun was deeply impressed by Xu Daoyan's rapid progress, which far exceeded his expectations.

"Oh? What flaws?" Xu Daoyan was taken aback, knowing that Shi Yun had exceptional insight and humbly sought his advice.

"We were all affected by the arrow's energy. If you could contain it, its power would likely increase even more!" Shi Yun grew up with General Shi and had discussed many cultivation matters, so he could offer Xu Daoyan some advice in this area.

"Indeed, I've never noticed this issue before!" Xu Daoyan, reminded by Shi Yun, found it very reasonable.

"Wow, it's so dirty and smelly here... The floor is covered in monkey fur, and it stinks!" Tian Tian gasped, covering her nose.

"It's not that bad. These ferocious monkeys are all at the terrestrial immortal level. It's already quite good that they don't defecate here!" Xu Daoyan knew that Tian Tian was pampered and lived in a very good environment. Staying here long-term would be a hardship for her.

"Can you not be so disgusting!" Tian Tian rolled her eyes, but now she had to clean up, as she had endured worse conditions before and could tolerate the dirt and smell.

"Brother Daoyan, I've already cleaned up a corner for you, you can stay there!" Sun Ling had been quietly cleaning since they entered, and now a corner was spotless. She stood there, looking delicate and graceful.

"Alright!" Xu Daoyan and Sun Ling grew up together, and their relationship was very close, so he didn't need to be formal.

Shi Yun, standing nearby, was once again moved to tears, having to clean a corner by himself: "Sister is truly a caring little cotton jacket, why don't I have such a sister..."

Tian Tian was not used to it. In Youzhou City, everything was prepared for her, and even if she wanted to cultivate, everything she needed was ready. Her living place was cleaned daily by maids, but now she had to do everything herself!

After a quarter of an hour, Bai Shi returned, holding a fist-sized inner core, and said, "Young Master, these are the inner cores of the ferocious monkeys. I think they can be sold for a lot of money!"

Xu Daoyan immediately took them, saying, "Good, in the future, pay more attention to these things. Otherwise, our cultivation will be a problem."

He was now most in need of money. Bai Shi had used some of the high-grade yin spirit stones allocated to him, and he needed to plan ahead.

However, Xu Daoyan only had the top-grade fire spirit stones left, which he was reluctant to use!

"Since it's still early, I'll go out to investigate. Bai Shi, you stay here!" Xu Daoyan instructed.

"Yes, Young Master!" Bai Shi acknowledged.

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Tian Tian quickly said.

"Alright!" Xu Daoyan nodded.

"Brother Daoyan, Ling'er wants to go with you too!" Sun Ling's voice was pleasant, and she looked mischievously eager.

"Ling'er, you stay here. This place is dangerous, and it's not suitable for too many people. If you have nothing to do, clean up and remove the smell, then cultivate here," Xu Daoyan said seriously.

Sun Ling pouted, though somewhat unwilling, she nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Daoyan, be careful!"

"Brother Daoyan, be careful on your journey!" Shi Yun said.

Xu Daoyan nodded and left the cave with Tian Tian.

The Tianhuang Fanlin, as its name suggests, had a desolate and lonely atmosphere. Apart from the howling wind, there was nothing else. Looking around, no other living creatures could be seen, as they were likely hiding in the mountains. This was also because they were at the edge of the Tianhuang Fanlin, and one would have to go deeper to see fierce beasts!

"Where do you want to go?" Tian Tian asked.

"I don't know, let's just look around!" Just as Xu Daoyan spoke, a bit of frost began to fall from the sky, crystal clear. He thought, "It's the Frost Descent season. I wonder how the temperature will be at night here. Let's gather some firewood just in case."

Tian Tian nodded, recalling the fire they had lit in the valley during their time on the border battlefield, feeling a bit dazed.

The two slowly descended the mountain, landing on the flat ground and heading toward a forest.

Tian Tian glanced at Xu Daoyan, gathering her emotions for a while before asking, "Daoyan, I have a question for you."

"Go ahead!" Xu Daoyan looked at her.

"Do you have a girl you like?" Tian Tian asked, her heart beating slightly.

Xu Daoyan thought back to the days he spent with Bai Yan'er in Pomegranate Village, pondering for a moment, and said, "I'm not sure if it counts as liking."

"What? Who is it? Could it be Shi Man from the Stone Savage City?" Tian Tian felt uncomfortable, seeing Xu Daoyan's expression, which clearly indicated someone.

"I don't have much interaction with Shi Man, so it can't be her!" Xu Daoyan shook his head.

"Is it Sun Ling?" Tian Tian asked again.

"I've always treated Ling'er like my own sister, so how could I have any improper thoughts?" Xu Daoyan said helplessly.

"Then who is it?" Tian Tian frowned, wondering if Xu Daoyan had interacted with any other women.

"The prettiest girl in our village, Bai Yan'er. I wonder how she's doing now, I hope she's doing well," Xu Daoyan sighed.

"Tell me what happened between you two?" Tian Tian frowned, curious and wanting to understand the situation.

Xu Daoyan recounted the story as they walked.

"So, this Bai Yan'er is actually the daughter of a great demon. You should give up on her, it's impossible for the two of you!" Tian Tian said seriously.

"We were never possible, the gap in our backgrounds is too large. Now, I just hope she's doing well, and I have no other thoughts," Xu Daoyan smiled freely.

"Yes, you don't really like her, you just see her as family. The gap in status is secondary. In this world, either you reach the pinnacle of power, and you can do whatever you want without interference, or you remain unknown, and no one will pay attention to you. But since you are a great-grandson of Confucius Yuan, if you want to be with someone from the demon race, you will face significant obstacles!" Tian Tian felt good, though she didn't know why, but this answer was what she wanted.

"Is it really that complicated?" Xu Daoyan was somewhat surprised.

As they talked, they gathered fallen branches in the forest. An hour later, they returned to the cave.

Not far from the cave, two people were watching their every move.

"Mr. Dark Cloud, is that man Xu Daoyan?" The speaker was none other than Yun Wu.

"Yes, that's him. I believe with Miss Yun Wu's charm, you can make Xu Daoyan fall head over heels for you. Then you can accomplish your mission and withdraw," Dark Cloud stroked his small mustache, smiling brightly.

"He's just a young boy, it will be easy to capture him. As for how to approach them, I'll leave it to Mr. Dark Cloud. I'll follow my plan!" Yun Wu already had her own plan.
