Chapter 10

Under the guidance of the ritual, Yan Zhaoge and others traversed the Dragon Suppressing Abyss.

In the black mist, a red light occasionally flashed like lightning, which Ahu captured, restraining it with his own aura, and then sealed it in a specially made crystal.

After half a day of travel, they suddenly felt that the chaotic black mist ahead seemed to have become slightly calmer and thinner.

Ahu, who was beside Yan Zhaoge, said, "Young Master, we have reached the center of the vortex."

Yan Zhaoge nodded. In the Dragon Suppressing Abyss, there were occasionally relatively calm areas, like the eye of a storm, where the surroundings were turbulent, but this place was relatively peaceful.

The number of such areas varied, some were large, some were small, and their positions were not fixed. They could even move over time.

"The center of the vortex is relatively safe, everyone can rest here," Yan Zhaoge said. "Generally, in such areas, various treasures are likely to be found, as the environment is relatively safe, which is conducive to searching and collecting treasures."

"Everyone can move around freely and seek opportunities, but be mindful of safety, as this is still the Dragon Suppressing Abyss."

Ye Jing, Sikuang Qing, and the other young disciples all agreed, then curiously looked around.

Yan Zhaoge held the measuring instrument, examining it carefully. "This center of the vortex seems to have its own unique mysteries..."

"Hmm?" Yan Zhaoge suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart, looked up, and said casually, "Everyone, step back."

In the distance, a golden light suddenly flickered in the black mist. Everyone was taken aback and instinctively stepped back.

Yan Zhaoge spread his sleeves, and a green light flashed swiftly, like a bolt of lightning in the night sky, illuminating the surrounding canyon.

The golden light in the black mist suddenly became brighter, and a huge body rushed out, which turned out to be a one-eyed strange python. The golden light was emitted from its single eye.

But just as the python rushed out, the green light struck, and a faint dragon's roar could be heard!

The golden light instantly vanished, and the python let out a sharp hiss, which abruptly stopped, and it fell silent.

A loud thud followed, as the python's massive body crashed to the ground.

"Golden-eyed Python, a specialty of the Dragon Suppressing Abyss. For you now, it is a treasure from head to toe. You can dissect it yourselves, and the materials obtained will be evenly distributed," the green light disappeared, and Yan Zhaoge lowered his head to fiddle with the measuring instrument.

Only then did everyone come to their senses, looking at the huge python corpse, which was several dozen meters long, they all silently marveled.

The Golden-eyed Python's lunge just now was incredibly fast and powerful, not inferior to a human master-level martial artist, and it was silent, which made them shudder in fear when they thought about it.

When they began to dissect the python, they found that its scales were both hard and flexible, comparable to the scales of a treasure-grade weapon.

Even though the Golden-eyed Python was dead and its vital energy had declined, with their cultivation, it was very difficult to break through the scales with a treasure-grade weapon.

But this Golden-eyed Python was killed by Yan Zhaoge with a single sword strike, the wound was smooth as a mirror, without any resistance, as if it were slicing through tofu.

"Yan Senior Brother's self-created sword technique, the Green Dragon in the Sleeve, is famous far and wide. Although it's not the first time I've seen it, every time I see it, I am amazed," a young disciple swallowed hard.

The Dragon Suppressing Abyss was filled with numerous magical beasts, and on their journey, Yan Zhaoge and Ahu had killed many more powerful magical beasts than the Golden-eyed Python.

A young disciple suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Yan, what is that?"

Yan Zhaoge looked up and saw a white light flash on a cliff shrouded in black mist, moving even faster than the Golden-eyed Python.

"That is a Light Spirit Cat," Yan Zhaoge glanced at it and then looked away. "It is harmless and beneficial."

Everyone was taken aback, and Ahu, who was beside Yan Zhaoge, grinned widely. "The environment in the Dragon Suppressing Abyss is harsh, and there are many magical beasts, most of which are fierce and cruel, but the Light Spirit Cat is an exception."

"Though small in size, it is quite strong, especially fast, far exceeding the norm, but it is gentle and non-aggressive, and even vegetarian, feeding on several types of spiritual herbs found in the Dragon Suppressing Abyss."

Ahu pointed to the flashing white light. "Moreover, this creature is intelligent and kind, and will actively help those in danger in the Dragon Suppressing Abyss. If you enter the Dragon Suppressing Abyss alone and are unfortunately in danger, you might be saved by this creature and save your life."

Ye Jing, Sikuang Qing, and others were all amazed and felt a liking for it, and they moved closer to where the Light Spirit Cat was.

The white light had now stopped, revealing its true form, which looked like a small kitten no bigger than a palm, with fine white light patterns all over its body, soft and lively.

The Light Spirit Cat was also curiously observing the Guangcheng Mountain group.

Some female disciples found it interesting and wanted to approach, but the Light Spirit Cat would retreat when they did, and when the girls stopped, the kitten would also stop.

"Senior Brother Yan, can we keep this little cat?" a girl asked pitifully, retreating to Yan Zhaoge's side.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Zhaoge said, "When we were in the Dragon Suppressing Abyss, you all collected Snake Tongue Grass, right? The Light Spirit Cat loves to eat it, you can try."

"This cat is intelligent. If you have no ill intentions, it will be willing to get close to you, but if you want to take it out of the Dragon Suppressing Abyss, you will need to put in a lot of effort."

The girl exclaimed, "Thank you, Senior Brother, I'll give it a try."

She carefully took out a few sprigs of spiritual herbs from her bag and walked towards the Light Spirit Cat.

After the initial wariness and familiarity, the girl and the cat gradually became acquainted.

The other Guangcheng Mountain disciples also took out Snake Tongue Grass to feed and play with the cat, and for a while, the small cat was doted on by everyone.

Even those who did not approach to play with it smiled at the scene.

The Light Spirit Cat transformed into white light, darting through the canyon, running and stopping, and the girl chased after it, making the sinister Dragon Suppressing Abyss seem less ominous at this moment.

After turning a few cliffs in the canyon, they saw a person lying on a large rock in the distance, shrouded in black mist, seemingly on the verge of death, as if about to be swallowed by the darkness.

The Guangcheng Mountain female disciple was slightly startled, and then suddenly saw a white light flash, and the Light Spirit Cat appeared, carefully observing for a moment before approaching the person lying on the rock.

Recalling what Yan Zhaoge and Ahu had said, the girl was reassured.

She saw the small Light Spirit Cat walk up, use its mouth to grab the person's collar, and with a strong tug, drag the person, indeed showing that it was small but strong.

But at that moment, the seemingly dying youth suddenly reached out and grabbed the Light Spirit Cat by the neck, then sat up.

The Light Spirit Cat let out a scream and struggled desperately, but the youth laughed, "The method Senior Brother introduced really works. If not for that, I wouldn't have been able to catch this little thing that's as fast as a master-level martial artist!"

The Guangcheng Mountain female disciple was startled, "What are you doing?"

The youth turned to look at her and said casually, "What's it got to do with you?"

The girl frowned, "The Light Spirit Cat thought you were in danger and came to save you, but you were pretending to be in trouble to catch it?"

"This little thing is just stupid and fell for it. Who can it blame?" the youth said indifferently. "Nature has its ways. The heavens have given this magical beast speed far exceeding the norm, and us humans wisdom. We should naturally use our wisdom to find ways to overcome the strengths of magical beasts."

The girl angrily said, "Clearly, you are using others' kindness for your own gain!"

The youth sneered, "Since when can people from Guangcheng Mountain meddle in the affairs of the Great Sun Holy Sect?"

The Guangcheng Mountain female disciple looked closely and saw that the youth was wearing a white robe with red cuffs and a sun pattern, indeed the attire of a Great Sun Holy Sect disciple.

The youth grabbed the Light Spirit Cat and scratched its neck with his fingernail, causing blood to gush out.

"Catching it is one thing, but the luminous crystal core in this creature's head is my real goal," the Great Sun Holy Sect disciple laughed. "In this world, the one with the strongest fist makes the rules. If you can beat me, you can take this little thing."

"If you can't beat me, all your talk is useless. Are you Guangcheng Mountain disciples just good at talking?"

The girl, seeing the small kitten's body convulse and unable to even cry out, felt her anger rise, and she could no longer hold back, rushing towards him.

Guangcheng Mountain and the Great Sun Holy Sect had adjacent territories, and conflicts between young disciples were common.

Other Guangcheng Mountain disciples also turned around and immediately came to her aid.

The youth was not alone either, and other Great Sun Holy Sect disciples found him, and the scene quickly became chaotic, with the potential to turn into a group fight.

"Master, they are disciples of the Great Sun Holy Sect," Ahu came to Yan Zhaoge and reported the situation.

Yan Zhaoge asked, "Are there any masters among them?"

Ahu replied, "Not yet."

"That's simple," Yan Zhaoge shrugged.

"Close the door, and let Ye Jing out."
