Chapter 94

After a moment, Ling Yue and the others stared blankly at the three dead bodies of the Corpse Demon Apes on the ground. It wasn't until Ye Zhong, with a look of disgust, pulled out the demon cores stained with blood from their bodies and threw them over that they finally reacted. Could Ye Zhong have solved the problem all by himself?

"Let's go. There shouldn't be many beasts of this level. We are already far behind the others, we need to speed up."

"Yes, let's go!"

At this moment, Ling Yue also reacted. She suppressed the shock in her heart, then waved her hand and led Ye Zhong and the others to quickly climb up the mountain.

On the journey ahead, Ye Zhong's group did not encounter any particularly troublesome beings. After all, even in this entire mountain range, there shouldn't be too many beasts at the sixth level of Body Tempering. As for those beasts equivalent to the third and fourth levels of Body Tempering, they were not even worth mentioning in front of Ye Zhong and the others.

"Whoosh—"

After about a day of climbing, Ye Zhong's group finally emerged from the vast forest and landed on the mountain peak one by one.

The peak of this mountain was a huge platform. In the center of the platform, there was a lake, about a thousand feet wide, with shimmering waves, appearing extremely calm.

At the same time that Ye Zhong and the others appeared on the mountain peak, a series of wind-breaking sounds came from all directions. Then, figures also emerged from the forest and landed around the area.

"This should be the mountain peak. It is said that the entrance to Hongya Cave should be at the bottom of this lake." Ling Yue's lively eyes gazed at the calm lake in front of her, and a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes. Often, this was the most dangerous moment.

"It can't be that we can get endless benefits just by entering Hongya Cave, right? Why do I feel like everyone is eager to kill each other?" Ye Zhong glanced around with a hint of surprise. Although the number of people on the mountain peak had decreased by at least two-thirds compared to the beginning, the people from the major forces were basically all here.

However, after reaching this place, the expressions of these people became somewhat strange, and the atmosphere became somewhat peculiar.

At the same time that Ye Zhong and the others appeared, not far away, Xue Xin and the others from the Blood Yuan Dynasty frowned as they looked at Ye Zhong's group, their expressions somewhat unpleasant. Those three Corpse Demon Apes were a big meal prepared for Ye Zhong's group, but it seemed that this big meal did not cause them any trouble at all.

"Blood Yuan Dynasty..."

Hao Feng's gaze fell on the direction where the Blood Yuan Dynasty's strong people were, and he sneered, his tightly clenched fists cracking.

"Don't worry, I won't let any of these guys off, but it's not the right time yet..." Ye Zhong stepped forward, pressed Hao Feng's fist, and said with a cold laugh.

Hearing Ye Zhong speak, a cold look flashed in Hao Feng's eyes, and after a moment, he nodded. Although he was extremely angry about the Blood Yuan Dynasty's actions, Hao Feng still had a bit of basic rationality. At least, fighting with the Blood Yuan Dynasty's people at this moment would only benefit others.

"What should we do now? Should we go directly to the bottom of the lake?" Ye Zhong's gaze swept around for a moment, then fell on the depths of the lake, and he spoke in a deep voice.

He could vaguely sense a strange fluctuation in the depths of the lake, clearly indicating that the entrance to Hongya Cave was indeed at the bottom of the lake.

"No rush. We need to compete for something now, the Yin-Yang Flower, and the entrance to Hongya Cave has not yet opened." After a moment of silence, Ling Yue spoke softly.

Ye Zhong was slightly stunned, and after a moment, his gaze on Ling Yue became somewhat strange. This Ling Yue was hiding quite a lot from him.

However, this was not the time to dwell on these things. After all, the Yin-Yang Flower was extremely attractive to Ye Zhong. He said calmly, "Where is the Yin-Yang Flower?"

"You should know that the Yin-Yang Flower only appears when the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth intersect. But now, the time should be about right." Ling Yue looked up at the sun that was almost setting and said softly, "Moreover, the time when Hongya Cave can be entered is also around that time, so whatever we do, we need to be quick."

Ye Zhong nodded. Since the Yin-Yang Flower was appearing at this time, he would not be polite. No matter what, he would have to seize it. Fortunately, apart from him, the others were not as determined to get the Yin-Yang Flower. They were more concerned about entering Hongya Cave, so the probability of safely obtaining the Yin-Yang Flower should be quite high.

As various groups gathered around the lake, the atmosphere in the air became increasingly tense. These strong people looked at each other with great caution, clearly indicating that the strong people who had come to this place had some understanding of the Yin-Yang Flower and Hongya Cave.

Time passed, and as the sun and moon intersected, the Yin and Yang energies in the world suddenly transformed. In the originally calm lake, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared, and a spiritual light emerged from the depths of the whirlpool, clearly showing a large cave at the bottom of the lake.

"Hongya Cave has opened!"

Someone in the crowd muttered.

"Buzz—"

At the same time that Hongya Cave opened, a small island appeared in the center of the lake, and an extremely strong medicinal fragrance suddenly spread from the island.

"Yin-Yang Flower!" Smelling this fragrance, Ye Zhong's eyes narrowed, and a fiery look appeared in his eyes. As long as he could get the Yin-Yang Flower, it would mean that he could officially enter the sixth level of Body Tempering! That way, he would have a certain advantage in the competition for Hongya Cave.

"Boom—"

As time passed, the whirlpool in the center of the lake slowly disappeared, but the entrance to Hongya Cave still existed, making many people realize that as long as they could enter the cave in the water, they could officially enter Hongya Cave.

At the same time, on the island, a strange medicinal plant with five leaves slowly emerged from the ground. Among the five leaves, there was a delicate flower like a newborn baby, emitting a green halo.

"This is a medicinal plant, the Yin-Yang Flower!?"

The many strong people who were originally watching Hongya Cave were attracted by this scene, and their eyes suddenly lit up!

The Yin-Yang Flower was something that was hard to come by even in major sects and families. No one could have imagined that a Yin-Yang Flower would appear at the entrance to Hongya Cave!

Seize the flower first! Then enter the cave!

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes became extremely hot. No one knew what benefits could be gained in Hongya Cave, but no one would be willing to miss out on the Yin-Yang Flower.

Seeing the many strong people's eyes instantly become extremely hot, Ye Zhong's expression also became somewhat serious. He had underestimated the attraction of the Yin-Yang Flower. It seemed that before officially entering Hongya Cave, the many strong people present would have to fight over the Yin-Yang Flower.

However, at this moment, Ye Zhong forcibly suppressed his impulse. It was absolutely not the time to be the first to act!

"Whoosh—"

Although Ye Zhong could remain calm, not everyone could be as calm as him. After a brief moment of tension, someone could no longer suppress their greed, and a dozen figures instantly flashed out, rushing madly.

Ye Zhong was about to take action, but just as he was about to flash out, his eyes narrowed.

"Whoosh—"

On another side of the lake, a black shadow suddenly flashed out. With just a wave of his hand, huge waves surged on the water, and in an instant, screams echoed as the dozen figures were swept into the lake, their fates unknown.

"Huh—"

A strange cold laugh echoed, and then a figure wrapped in a black robe stepped out of the water. He looked coldly at the Yin-Yang Flower in front of him, his eyes filled with a strange expression.

"Is this... a beast? A beast that has transformed into a human form?"

As Ye Zhong looked at the figure wrapped in a black robe, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart, and this feeling almost instantly made him recognize the identity of the figure!

The figure wrapped in a black robe was actually a beast?

The many strong people in the field also focused their gazes on this figure. Almost everyone knew that this figure was extraordinary, but they could not immediately determine his strength, so no one rushed to act.

"Whoosh—"

After a brief silence, the figure casually waved his hand, tore off his black robe, and his light blue eyes fell on the surrounding people. He then said coldly, "Humans, you can enter Hongya Cave, I won't stop you. Feel free to go, but whoever dares to touch my Yin-Yang Flower will not be spared by this king!"

"Boom—"

As he spoke, an extremely terrifying and violent aura suddenly burst from the figure, and the terrifying aura made many strong people gasp in shock.

"Sixth level of Body Tempering, Bone Marrow Cleansing stage!"

The guy in front of them actually had the strength of the sixth level of Body Tempering!?

At this moment, the entire field was stunned! Even Xue Xin and the others from the Blood Yuan Dynasty narrowed their eyes to slits. The strength of the sixth level of Body Tempering was enough to make them feel an absolute threat!

Ye Zhong's expression also became somewhat unpleasant at this moment. He was determined to get the Yin-Yang Flower, but the sudden appearance of this figure made his eyes flash with coldness.
