Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Little Junior Sister, if you don’t want to follow me, feel free to scram!

The Silent Beast Forest erupted into chaos.

Countless ferocious beasts were stirred up.

The chilling roars of these monsters echoed continuously from all corners of the forest.

Powerful malevolent auras erupted from everywhere in the Beast Forest.

“Roar…”

In a valley, atop a large rock, a massive wolf covered in jet-black fur, with a white vertical mark on its forehead, howled at the sky.

Meanwhile, in a dark cave, two blood-red eyes suddenly lit up.

A gigantic bear, more than ten feet tall and covered in golden fur, stepped out one by one.

In a water pool, a snake, as massive as a dragon, surfaced from the bottom.

Giant figures soared above the treetops, and the fierce winds whipped up dead branches and leaves from the ground, stirring up dust and blowing rocks around.

Each towering ancient tree swayed precariously as if they might topple over.

At this moment, countless cultivators stood in shock at the entrances of the four major sects on the southeast and northwest of Yuanwu Mountain, staring at the scene displayed on the light screen before them.

The images appearing on the light screen were being transmitted live from the Nine Heavy Barriers.

This was a blend of an illuminating projection technique and a long-distance sound transmission technique.

It could present both images and sounds from within the Nine Heavy Barriers in real time.

The roars of the savage beasts bursting forth from the light screen left everyone stunned.

The sixty-year-long Great Competition was absolutely fair and just.

No one could cheat during the Great Competition.

Because the entire process of the competition would be displayed before the world.

“Is the first trial of the Great Competition really this hard to get through?”

Someone exclaimed in astonishment.

“Do you think the Great Competition is for anyone to participate in?”

Another scoffed.

“Did you not see that even a disciple from the Fuyiao Sword Sect, who was in the initial stage of the Divine Martial Realm, was killed?”

A voice remarked coldly.

The scene where that disciple from Fuyiao Sword Sect was drained of all his blood and met his grisly end truly left everyone speechless.

Even powerful warriors from Fuyiao Sword Sect had fallen within the Beast Forest; what chance did they have?

At the eastern mountain gate of Yuanwu Mountain, Xiao Zhenshan’s family watched nervously at the massive light screen ahead.

At this moment, inside the Beast Forest, Xiao Yang had once again set off with the others.

In stark contrast to his nonchalant demeanor, the Refining Sect was pressing ahead at full speed.

Under the leadership of the Sect Holy Son, Wang Kunpeng, the disciples of the Refining Sect were advancing forcefully.

Wang Kunpeng, clad in the Ten Absolute Battle Armor, showed only his eyes.

He was on a rampage, charging deep into the Beast Forest, and any savage beast he encountered couldn’t withstand his blow.

The sheer power of the Ten Absolute Battle Armor shocked everyone.

“Bang!”

Wang Kunpeng threw a punch, directly obliterating a charging Flame Tiger into a mist of blood.

Then he seized another howling god-ape by the neck and tossed it away.

“Boom!”

The god-ape crashed into a large rock, shattering it and falling silent to the ground.

“Is he really that strong?”

Everyone watching this scene through the light screen was utterly astonished.

Wang Kunpeng’s combat prowess was simply terrifying.

Other disciples from the Refining Sect also displayed formidable strength.

Weapons of all kinds came forth endlessly from their ranks, and each weapon was overwhelmingly powerful.

The beasts in the Beast Forest were truly unlucky to encounter this group of ruthless warriors.

The Refining Sect was advancing through the Beast Forest at a speed that was absolutely the fastest among the top ten sects.

Even the Fuyiao Sword Sect had been left far behind.

In the hundreds of miles of the Beast Forest, they had already completed a third of the journey.

However, the deeper they went, the stronger the beasts became.

The savage beasts around the outer edge of the Beast Forest weren’t that strong.

But they were still enough to pose a threat to powerful warriors in the Divine Martial Realm.

“I heard there’s a Beast King lurking in this Beast Forest.”

Someone murmured at the eastern mountain gate.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenshan’s family couldn’t help but worry about Qin Fei.

As for Xiao Yang, their own son, they weren’t worried in the slightest.

Their relationship with Xiao Yang was quite distant.

When Xiao Yang was little, they had just handed him over to his grandfather to raise.

They never cared for him at all.

After Xiao Yang was sent to Qingyang Mountain by his grandfather, they had never visited him there.

It wasn’t until Xiao Yang awakened the True Sun Holy Body and became the swordsmanship genius of the Qingyang Sword Sect that his parents came looking for him.

From then on, Xiao Yang became their tool for gathering cultivation resources.

They only wanted to suck him dry.

And Qin Fei, though just an adopted son, they had high hopes for him and provided him with cultivation resources, dreaming of reaping great benefits when he finally soared to greatness.

Unfortunately, Qin Fei was a mole from the Demon Sect.

“Little Fei…”

Chu Yue also looked at the screen anxiously, concerned for Qin Fei.

As for her biological brother, she didn’t even bother glancing his way.

At that moment, in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, atop the celestial platform.

The ten strongest individuals seated before the light screen were also watching the participants progress through the trials.

“Master Wang, the disciples you sent from the Refining Sect this time are quite impressive!”

The leader of Guiyuan Martial Sect smiled.

“Your Guiyuan Martial Sect’s Guiyuan Xuanwu Seal truly lives up to its reputation!”

Wang Ao glanced at Guiyuan Martial Sect leader, Chu Zhenbei, and replied casually.

At that moment, the light screen showcased the figures of Guiyuan Martial Sect’s team.

Under the leadership of Chu Guixi, the disciples of Guiyuan Martial Sect were also cutting through obstacles, unstoppable in their advance.

Though the first trial of the Nine Heavy Barriers was not easy to pass, it was the least challenging compared to the trials that lay ahead.

With the Guiyuan Xuanwu Seal in hand, even the most stubborn beasts would have their skulls crushed, spilling out blood.

This was not the fake seal that Chu Guiyuan had used earlier.

This was the genuine Guiyuan Xuanwu Seal.

It was clear that this time, Guiyuan Martial Sect was dead set on claiming the top position in the Great Competition.

Compared to the high-profile display of Guiyuan Martial Sect and Refining Sect, the Heavenly Medical Sect, Dan Ding Sect, and Shifang Qimen teams were much more low-key.

As for the Supreme Dao Sect, Divine Sword Manor, and Beast Control Manor, their performances were standard, not particularly dazzling but not too shabby either.

As for the Qingyang Sword Sect, they were truly laid-back.

Xiao Yang leisurely ambled about, picking up the scraps.

Especially grabbing the benefits from Beast Control Manor and Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Whenever the people from Beast Control Manor were engaged in battle with ferocious beasts, Xiao Yang always managed to show up with a large crowd, swooping in to snag the spiritual herbs guarded by the fierce beasts while they were distracted.

This infuriated the people from Beast Control Manor.

“Master Jiang, your senior apprentice is a bit much!”

The manor lord of Beast Control Manor, Ye Longsheng, frowned as he witnessed this scene unfold on the light screen.

“Hmph, Master Jiang, the disciple you trained is something else!”

Chu Zhenbei from Guiyuan Martial Sect sneered.

Xiao Yang also employed the same tactic, snatching the spiritual herbs from under the noses of the Guiyuan Martial Sect while their disciples battled the beasts.

This left the members of Guiyuan Martial Sect equally annoyed.

“It’s just skill,”

Jiang Qitian said nonchalantly.

“Well played,”

Chu Zhenbei was furious but helpless.

Here, even if he wanted to take down Jiang Qitian, he didn’t dare act.

Besides, despite Jiang Qitian’s not-so-great cultivation, he possessed a Qingyang Sword.

Killing someone wielding a Qingyang Sword was no easy feat.

Deep down, Jiang Qitian was also not happy.

Xiao Yang was ruffling feathers everywhere, and in the end, who was going to suffer? Him, Jiang Qitian.

Jiang Qitian glanced at Xiao Yang on the light screen, his expression cold.

But upon seeing Qin Fei, a smile crept onto his face.

“Give it your all!”

At this moment, inside the Beast Forest, Xiao Yang shouted toward the Supreme Dao Child, who was engaged in combat with a beast.

Saying so, he gleefully pulled out a jade box, carefully placing a rare spiritual herb inside before sealing the box.

He had just obtained yet another rare spiritual herb.

Living the life!

However, Qin Fei, Jiang Ting, and others following behind him grew increasingly impatient.

Especially Qin Fei.

He was utterly shocked.

Because he noticed that Xiao Yang seemed to be quite familiar with the place, always managing to appear at the right moment to snatch the spiritual herbs without any risks while others battled the beasts.

Qin Fei was consumed by envy, hatred, and jealousy as he watched Xiao Yang collect ten or so spiritual herbs.

As for the other disciples of Qingyang Sword Sect, aside from Lin Wangchuan, Song Qiang, Yun Qianxue, Ye Qingyao, and Qi Xuan, Lei Renjie, Li Yunhu, and Fang Riti also appeared to be somewhat impatient.

With Qin Fei constantly stoking the flames, the Qingyang Sword Sect team was cleaved into two factions.

Meanwhile, those from the Supreme Dao Sect battling the fierce beasts felt both furious and shocked.

Did Xiao Yang really just swoop in and steal their chance again?

Some disciples from Supreme Dao Sect couldn’t help but unleash a barrage of curses at Xiao Yang.

Yet that ferocious beast was incredibly fierce, and it could even spit fire.

It was a millennium-old Fire Turtle, possessing astonishing defensive capabilities, continuously unleashing jets of flames at the disciples of Supreme Dao Sect surrounding it.

Only by forming a battle formation were the disciples of Supreme Dao Sect barely able to fend off the Fire Turtle’s assaults.

“This turtle’s core is a real treasure, so you masked one over there, be careful while striking! If that old turtle goes all out and explodes its core, you’ll get nothing, haha…”

Xiao Yang laughed heartily as he turned to leave.

“…”

The Supreme Dao Child was furious.

On the celestial platform, the Supreme Dao Master shot Jiang Qitian a displeased look: “Master Jiang, your senior apprentice is certainly something!”

Jiang Qitian fell silent.

He was just as speechless.

Xiao Yang had directly offended the top three sects of the Northern Territory.

And Beast Control Manor too.

Jiang Qitian felt an immense headache.

Offending so many sects, would the disciples from Qingyang Sword Sect really be able to operate in the Northern Territory in the future?

At this moment, Xiao Yang was heading toward the next destination.

“Senior Brother, you keep dragging us everywhere, hoarding all the benefits for yourself! It’s too much!”

Jiang Ting suddenly stopped and shouted.

“Hmm?”

Xiao Yang paused and glanced at Jiang Ting indifferently, “I never asked you to follow me. If you don’t want to stick around, feel free to leave!”

“You…”

Jiang Ting erupted in anger and frustration.

However, Xiao Yang was done coddling her.
