Chapter 518: Chapter 492: Tigress

After escaping captivity, Wang Wu immediately returned to the Spirit-Catching Ship and deliberately froze himself into a block of ice, looking miserable.

He didn’t do this to elicit sympathy or to clear himself of suspicion, because that guy would never know the truth.

He was just being cautious in case that unknown fellow went on a rampage, affecting him by sheer bad luck!

That guy managed to hunt down five Cold-Crying Birds in such a short time, his power definitely surpassed Tier Five Taiyi.

Of course, maybe nothing will happen…

Just as Wang Wu thought of this, he saw three rays of golden light flash by as the three young Taiyi who came with him swiftly returned, followed by a fourth, but the fifth guy was still missing; who knows what he encountered?

As for Shuang Liuyun and the others, they showed no movement.

“Tsk tsk! An inauspicious start, the Taiyi we painstakingly cultivated hasn’t even had a chance to exert its potential before already losing one.”

“Haha! I bet they’ve encountered some of the Old Deng Taiyi from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance; they love playing tricks, throwing out a True Yang Immortal Talisman nearby to attract Cold-Crying Birds or Cold Roar Beasts to attack, then strike with a sneak attack when those dumb little things are caught in a standoff.”

“But it might not be the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance—this tactic is no longer a secret, everyone keeps a few True Yang Immortal Talismans in reserve.”

Those Giant Dragons who thrived on watching drama nestled on the Three Calamities Long Sails of the Spirit-Catching Ship, simultaneously serving as laborer crew, yet still having the mood to chatter away!

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu suddenly understood; so that’s how a giant Cold-Crying Bird suddenly attacked him, these crafty old coins, they’re truly wicked.

Then the golden light flashed again, everyone looked up thinking the unlucky guy had returned, but it turned out to be Xu Taiping who came back looking a bit disheveled, with a strange bluish line across his face, looking quite eerie.

However, he held a burning Immortal Talisman in his hand, smacked it against himself, and immediately a scorching Yang aura rose from his body, restoring him instantly.

“Everyone, be careful, we’ve encountered a spirit ship from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance; some of their Taiyi True Immortals specialize in ambushing weaker Taiyi like us, I nearly fell for this trick just now.”

Xu Taiping spoke with a gentle tone, smiling gracefully, making it hard for anyone not to develop a liking for him.

Just then, a newly arrived Taiyi chuckled wryly, “Thank you for the warning, friend. I didn’t expect the Spirit Capture Team’s mission to be this challenging. We’ve been training from Tier Three Earth Immortal for thousands of years, facing numerous risks, yet here we realize our insignificance.”

“Yes, we underestimated the world.”

A few young Taiyi were deeply moved.

They were all Tier One Taiyi, filled with self-pride, only to be slapped in the face by harsh reality.

“Don’t underestimate yourselves, everyone; I was like this before myself. Rest assured, the Spirit Capture Team is touted as a top-notch training journey, situations like this will frequently arise. Please.”

Then Xu Taiping returned to his original state after using the Golden Radiance Immortal Talisman and jumped off the Spirit-Catching Ship without hesitation.

Leaving the young Taiyi looking at each other in bewilderment.

So brave?

As the four of them prepared to follow Xu Taiping off the ship, Wang Wu hurriedly shouted.

“Friends, wait a moment, it’s not urgent to head out; please rescue me first. I’ve been sealed by the Azure Sea Cold Qi in my Spirit Pill Heart Vein, thank you for your help!”

Wang Wu was clear-minded; you four, although well-born, having advanced from First Grade to Earth Immortal and now Tier One Taiyi, have undergone extensive training; in a sense, you are like protagonists in your respective levels. But, placed in a bigger context, at this moment, how can you compare to Xu Taiping?

Just now, Wang Wu himself was caught off guard and fell victim to the Immortal Jump, but Xu Taiping managed to escape immediately after neutralizing the attack.

This technique seems simple, yet is exceptional from every perspective.

In ordinary times it might not matter, but today happens to be a time of great anger from a furious crocodile—a poor time to jump out risking death.

Upon hearing this, the four young Taiyi glanced at Wang Wu, then at each other; one of them, who hadn’t spoken much and had a cool demeanor, said nothing and just jumped out.

And he jumped in Xu Taiping’s direction.

No idea what he’s thinking?

At this point, another young Taiyi chuckled wryly, “Friend, I know you’re well-intentioned, but your condition isn’t severe. So please don’t crush the determination we’ve painstakingly established. If we don’t catch a Cold-Crying Bird today, we’d return to the Frost Domain disgraced, which is minor, but ensuring an unobstructed Dao heart in the future becomes unguaranteed.”

With that, he prepared to jump off.

“Stop, listen to me!”

But Wang Wu’s words, though spoken, were pointless as the three young Taiyi fearlessly jumped off.

Indeed, not cold-hearted, but as part of their training, they cannot shy away.

Wang Wu shook his head helplessly but never thought of pursuing them to help.

In his view, these four young Taiyi were not wrong—it is simply how the Cultivation Realm operates.

Their experience is undoubtedly rich; their techniques and intellect should be top-notch, but their fatal flaw remains consistent.

That is, in this Multi-Realm Cultivation Realm, the levels of Daluo, Taiyi, and Earth Immortal are all gathered.

Like putting elementary, middle, and high school students in one dormitory, one classroom, facing each other twenty-four hours a day.

Who suffers the most?

These four young Taiyi are standing precariously on the line between tragedy and survival.

When they were Earth Immortals, they were rather protected, overtly and covertly, at least sparing them from encountering too many vile Taiyi.

But when they advanced to the Taiyi level, their strength wasn’t enough, and they lacked experience, resulting in being thrown into this brutal slaughter arena.

How cruel this line of life and death is.

The former Snake Emperor, Nine-tailed Fox, Grandpa Tree, and even the Stone Demon whose body couldn’t be found in the end, and She Shoujiu, which one of them is still alive?

Back then, millions of cultivators escaped the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, but ultimately, the only one who reached Wang Wu’s level was just him.

Even his closest friends and family benefitted merely from his glory.

How cruel the cultivation realm is, just look at those twenty-four giant dragons on the Spirit-Catching Ship.

From then on, Wang Wu continued to lie there, pretending that his Spirit Pill Heart Vein was iced over by the Azure Sea Cold Qi, deciding not to go out.

After a while, he heard those giant dragons chirping again.

“Hey, look at that little bear cub, quite good at pretending.”

“Haha, does he think we’re all fools?”

“Whether we are fools or not is not important, the important question is, do you think Shuang Liuyun, that bitch, will be a fool? Folks, folks, why don’t we place a bet? I bet this little bear cub will get whipped a hundred times by that bitch, she loves whipping people!”

“I bet two hundred lashes, it’s about the attitude, missing the Cold-Crying Bird the first time is about experience, that bitch is considerate about such things, but pretending to be injured, hiding upon return, hehehe, I want to eat Bear’s Paw.”

“A bunch of idiots, I bet he already caught a Cold-Crying Bird!”

An icy female voice never heard before suddenly spoke up.

“Then why not two? I bet two!”

“I also bet one, this little bear cub undoubtedly has some skills, so he’s not afraid that bitch will make things difficult for him.”

“Come, come, place your bets!”

The group of giant dragons’ chat group was very lively.

Wang Wu didn’t pay much attention either, so what if his strength is exposed, or even his identity for that matter?

He came here to train, so there’s no need to overly hide or conceal.

Appropriately, he could also show off a bit.

Then, after more than half an hour, Shuang Liuyun finally returned, with all five of her Tier Five Taiyi comrades, her two disciples, Bailu and Xu Taiping, only Bailu never returned, while Xu Taiping returned once for replenishment.

However, the remaining five young Taiyi who came with Wang Wu did not return at all.

It’s pretty upsetting.

At this time, Wang Wu naturally didn’t pretend to be incapacitated anymore, he quickly jumped up and stood to one side, evidently a small presence.

Shuang Liuyun gave him a disapproving look but didn’t say anything for the time being. She directly took out exactly seven large ice blocks from the Qiankun Bag.

Huh? Why do they look so familiar!

Good grief, inside these ice blocks are all Tier One Taiyi. So this bright-eyed beauty engages in such filthy deeds too!

At this, Shuang Liuyun waved her hand, and a large seven-colored light soared into the sky, so there’s a way to exchange captives?

In any case, without knowing how the process works, in no time, those seven Tier One Taiyi from other Spirit-Catching Ships were exchanged, and then our five unlucky guys returned, faces ashen, but at least Life was not in danger.

“As stupid as pigs! Summer Solstice already warned you once, yet you still don’t learn your lesson? Even pigs are smarter than you! I finally caught seven captives, and I had to use five to exchange for you!”

Shuang Liuyun scolded severely, and the Thunder Whip in her hand lashed out relentlessly, truly striking hard, even the Creation Immortal Bodies were whipped until skin was torn and bleeding profusely.

After she finished whipping, she said with a gloomy face, “Tally up everyone’s harvest.”

After saying that, she herself took out two Great Cold-Crying Birds, three medium ones, and nine small ones. Quite a harvest.

Very strong indeed.

Those five Tier Five Taiyi almost all managed to capture at least three to five Cold-Crying Birds each.

What surprised Wang Wu was that Bailu, also a Taiyi First Tier, actually caught two small Cold-Crying Birds.

Seemingly unimpressive, it turns out she was hiding her talents, truly deserving the title of genius.

However, when Xu Taiping showed his harvest, everyone went silent, because he’d captured two small Cold-Crying Birds and one medium-sized one.

This ability, this skill, truly exceptional, even made Shuang Liuyun smile broadly and praise aloud, she seemed much happier.

Wang Wu was not surprised at all, Xu Taiping truly had such talent, his brilliance was absolutely genuine.

For a while, the Spirit-Catching Ship was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Until Shuang Liuyun slowly turned her head, her exceedingly beautiful eyes, tinged with cunning and even a bit of cruelty and brutality, fixed on Wang Wu who was smiling in the corner.

“Are you an idiot? What are you laughing at? Does this have anything to do with you? Where are the Cold-Crying Birds I asked for?”

Crack!

The Thunder Whip was already in Shuang Liuyun’s hand, this tigress was about to unleash fury!
