C408 In the Same Trade I'll Show You What I'm Capable of
"What's going on with you?" The skinny martial artist asked.
Chen Yu lowered his head to look at his clothes. He saw that his clothes were torn and could only cover his body. However, they were destroyed in the fight against Elder Yi.
Chen Yu could not help but smile bitterly: "Reporting to Senior Brother, I have encountered a few Demonic Beast. Although they were not injured in the battle, they were in a very sorry state!"
"Demonic Beast? What Demonic Beast? " The thin martial artist continued to ask.
"It's a type of wolf. Its fur is dark, and its speed is as fast as the wind. Its build is slender, and it has copper tendons and iron bones. Its body is tough!" Chen Yu said as he thought about it.
"A Ninth Stage Dark Green Shadow Wolf?" A well-built man with a handsome face said: "It's equivalent to the strength of the eighth or ninth level of the Heavenly Astral Stage. You only have the strength of the seventh level of the Heavenly Astral Stage, so being able to escape unscathed is not bad!"
Although he was saying that Chen Yu was not bad, there was no praise in his words. Instead, there was a hint of condescension and ridicule in his words.
A ninth stage Demonic Beast, was easily killed by any Spirit Accumulation Stage practitioner. In the eyes of these Ruling Spirit Sect disciples, it was naturally not worth mentioning.
"Disciple Zhou Hong, come and sit!" The petite man's brows were still furrowed as he said, "That single martial uncle of yours is Dan Yuncheng, right? Did he say where he was heading to?"
"This …" Chen Yu hesitated on purpose before saying, "This is a place called Fire Ape Valley!"
"Fire Ape Valley?" The handsome man looked surprised. His eyes lit up as he looked at the skinny man and said, "There is a large group of Conflagration Apes in the Fire Ape Valley. It is very difficult to deal with them. Why is Yun Cheng going there?"
One by one, their gazes landed on Chen Yu's face.
At this moment, the tension in Chen Yu's heart had loosened.
After chatting for such a long time, no one had pointed out Chen Yu's identity. This meant that Gu Yanfeng and the others did not know Chen Yu, which made him calm down.
Chen Yu's reputation could be said to be ruined in the thirty sixth peak of Ruling Spirit Sect. There were countless people who wanted to find trouble with him, and since these disciples did not know who he was, he could avoid a lot of trouble.
"I don't know!" Chen Yu replied to the skinny man, "Uncle-master didn't say anything. He said he would be back in at most five days, but he didn't expect that even after eight days, he still hasn't returned. Chen Yu replied to the skinny man," Uncle-master didn't say anything.
Chen Yu was acting like a new disciple who had never seen the world and was under the protection of his elders. This could reduce the wariness of these disciples from the greatest extent, and at the same time, find the most suitable reason for him to appear here.
"This is completely reckless!" The handsome man grinned and said, "Disciple Zhou Hong, it's better if you go back the way you came." With your cultivation at the seventh level of Heavenly Astral Stage, it will be hard to even take a single step in Tianmu Mountain, which is no different from courting death! "
The other disciples of Gu Yan Feng all revealed a mocking smile.
Chen Yu cupped his hands together and said with a weak but determined tone, "My uncle-master has always kept his word. He must have met with some trouble. How can I abandon uncle-master?"
"You?" Someone mocked him, "Junior brother Zhou, even if we find your Martial Uncle, you will be a burden. If we can't help him, we will only implicate him!"
Everyone else showed an expression of agreement. They did not try to hide their contempt for Chen Yu.
"Alright!" The skinny man shouted to Chen Yu in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, please sit down first." Do you really know nothing about the purpose of your Martial Uncle coming to the Tianmu Mountains? Then why did he bring you here? "
Chen Yu was not surprised at all by this question. He had already thought of an excuse long ago, and said: "Senior Master originally came to send me home, but to tell everyone the truth, I have only become a Polar Extreme Peak disciple two months ago. I miss home very much. I requested my single martial uncle to help me arrange it, and he said that he just so happens to be coming to Tianmu Mountain, so he could send me home at the same time! "
The skinny man was lost in thought.
It was normal for new budding disciples to go home to visit their families, but most of them would go through Thousand Feathers Peak to ride a spirit bird to visit their families. It was just as Chen Yu said, it was very rare for them to be sent home by the First Elder! However, it was difficult to use common sense after one's Polar Extreme Peak had declined for a long time.
"You don't know anything about the purpose of your Martial Aunt going to Fire Ape Valley?" The skinny man asked again.
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "I really don't know that Martial Uncle didn't say it in detail!"
The petite man nodded and looked at the handsome man, "Junior brother Long, we came to the Tianmu Mountains to hunt and gather elixirs. Going to the Fire Ape Valley is no different from going to other places. Why not go to the Fire Ape Valley to investigate?"
"I'm just afraid that it's too dangerous!" The handsome man turned around and glanced at the other disciples of Lone Peak, and somewhat hesitantly said, "You and I have no harm in doing so, but the other Junior Brothers are afraid of making it difficult to deal with that group of Conflagration Apes!"
"The Conflagration Ape rarely leaves the Fire Ape Valley, so it shouldn't be afraid to have its fellow disciples guard outside the valley!" The skinny man said, "Even though Polar Extreme Peak Solitary Yun Cheng only has the strength of the late stage of Spirit Accumulation Stage, he is still a Peak Elder. Something that is able to attract his attention is definitely not simple! "
"I can give it a try. With our strengths, as long as we don't encounter the Conflagration Ape King, we should be able to retreat safely!" The handsome man said.
The skinny man nodded and turned to Chen Yu, saying, "Junior Zhou, we are from the same sect after all. We can't just sit by and watch you get into danger." Since you're determined to go to Fire Ape Valley, we'll send you there, how about it? "
Although it was only a questioning tone, Chen Yu knew it was just a superficial level of skill. He wasn't really asking for Chen Yu's opinion!
This result was out of Chen Yu's expectations, but for him, the result was definitely not too bad.
Immediately, Chen Yu revealed a grateful expression and hurriedly thanked him.
Following that, the skinny man and Junior Martial Brother Long asked Chen Yu a few more questions about Ruling Spirit Sect. Chen Yu answered them one by one, but there wasn't a drop of water that could be missed.
As long as he was not recognized, Chen Yu's identity as a Polar Extreme Peak disciple would naturally not have any flaws.
From the discussions of these disciples, Chen Yu knew that the skinny man was called Lee Hee and was an expert of the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage. He was ranked in the top five amongst the younger disciples of the Lone Peak.
As for the handsome man, his name was Long Yue Fang, and he was in the fifth level of Heavenly Astral Stage, he was also one of the most talented young warriors from Gu Yan Feng's bloodline.
On the morning of the second day, everyone got up and hurried on their way. Chen Yu naturally followed along with the team.
However, apart from occasionally teasing Chen Yu with an arrogant and contemptuous tone, no one among these disciples said anything to Chen Yu.
Naturally, because his cultivation base had not fully recovered yet, Chen Yu's speed was slightly slower, falling to the back of the group. Fortunately, in the forest, Lee Hee and the rest were quite cautious. They did not reach their fastest speed, so Chen Yu was barely able to keep up with them.
Six hours later, the team encountered an Iron Spur Thundercloud Beast. Thus, Chen Yu was able to witness Lee Hee's and Long Yue's battle strength.
The Iron Thorny Thundercloud Beast was a Rank 4 spirit beast, it had a tough body, a thorny body, lightning attributed claws, and was extremely difficult to deal with. When Chen Yu, who was at the back of the team, went over, he saw Lee Hee and Long Yue Fang bringing the other warriors to slash out over 10 blades and sword auras.
Every single astral blade and astral sword contained a strong spirit attribute. The Sharp, however, was unable to break through the fourth stage's Iron Spur Thundercloud Beast's tough fur, and was instead forced to disperse by the Thundercloud Beast.
At this time, Lee Hee and Long Yue Fang took out their Spiritual Soul.
Lee Hee's Spiritual Soul was a broadsword, and was a rarely seen Spiritual Soul artifact. Once the broadsword was unleashed, it was extremely overbearing and sharp, and following Lee Hee's slash, it cut a deep gash on the Thundercloud Beast, causing blood to gush out.
On the other hand, Long Yue's Spiritual Soul was a falcon. When Lee Hee made his move, Long Yue Fang jumped up from the other side and slashed down with his blade like a roc spreading its wings.
From Chen Yu's point of view, the two's Spiritual Soul were both high-grade earth-step, and their fighting experience was also extremely rich. They were well-coordinated, experienced, and could be compared to Zhong Xuanlin.
After that, the Rank 4 Iron Thorns Thundercloud Beast had no room to fight back. It was short on both sides and had difficulty resisting. It was easily killed by Lee Hee and his companion under the cheers of the Lone Rock Peak disciples.
Chen Yu was dazzled by the sight. He had to admit, if not for the black Broken Sword, he would never be able to fight against an inner disciple like Lee Hee and Long Yue Fang.
The effect of Spiritual Soul to warriors was indeed too great. Warriors without Spiritual Soul, simply could not be compared with warriors with powerful Spiritual Soul.
An hour later, the rest of the party finished the processing of the Thundercloud Beast's carcass and the various materials were collected. Only then did the group start their journey again.
As the group went deeper, the mountain path became harder and harder to travel on. Along the way, the amount of Demonic Beast and spirit beasts they encountered also increased, but in the end, this was only the outskirts of the Tianmu Mountains.
At noon on the second day, the group arrived at a valley that was filled with the roars of apes.
Within the valley, the air was warm. The temperature was clearly much warmer than outside the valley. Chen Yu could sense that the spiritual energy inside the valley was not only abundant, but also had a fire attribute aura.
The fire attribute aura made Chen Yu feel close to him.
"Fire Ape Valley has arrived!" Lee Hee stopped and said as he stared at the deep valley entrance in front of him.
"Fire Ape Valley truly has the word 'fire'!" Long Yue Fang and Lee Hee stood side by side, evaluating the situation. Suddenly, their eyes focused as they pointed towards a tree at the side of the valley: "Senior brother Li, look over there!"
Not only Lee Hee, even Chen Yu and the others couldn't help but look in the direction that Long Yue was pointing at, only to see a few red-furred apes lying on the ground.
Lee Hee and Long Yue Fang leaped up and rushed towards the Ape corpses.
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat and he also used his movement technique to rush forward. He was one step faster than everyone else.
Soon, Chen Yu arrived beside the corpse. With just a glance, he noticed that the fatal injuries of these fire apes were caused by sharp swords. They were either pierced by a sword or killed by a sword.
Judging from the corpses of the fire apes, the person who had attacked them was an expert in swordsmanship. They sold them cleanly and with extreme sharpness.
"Senior-apprentice Brother Li, this doesn't seem to be Dan Yuncheng's move!" He did not care about the sword marks on the fire ape's body. Long Yue Fang turned to look at Chen Yu and said: "The sword techniques used to attack are not bad, but it was not through the release of Supreme Force that the five fire apes were killed. If it was the one at the peak of Spirit Accumulation Stage, Dan Yun Cheng would not need to go through so much trouble! "
"En!" Lee Hee also looked at Chen Yu and said, "Looks like there are quite a few people in Fire Ape Valley right now. Let's go in and talk."
