Chapter 170: The Depressed Yu Canghai

In fact, the reason why Qin Jue agreed to expel the fiend beasts was entirely because he wanted to bring Long Zhen out for a walk.

However, he did not expect that he would encounter something like this.

The Yu Clan was clearly hiding something from them.

Qin Jue wasn’t anxious about this. The moment the Yu Clan did anything abnormal, he would immediately know what was going on.

After making up his mind, Qin Jue closed his eyes and lay down to sleep.

Because he was only gone for a while this time, Qin Jue didn’t bring Yun Xi along. Instead, he told her to stay in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect and focus on cultivating. With Luo Weiwei accompanying her, he believed that she wouldn’t feel lonely.

The next morning…

Qin Jue stretched lazily and pushed open the door. He found that Long Zhen was already sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, leisurely drinking spirit wine.

Ever since he learned that Qin Jue liked to drink, Long Zhen would also keep a pot of wine next to him from time to time. Moreover, the wine he drank were all thousands of years old, even more precious than the spirit wine Qin Jue had plundered from the Spirit Clan.

Seeing Qin Jue come out, Long Zhen smiled and said, “Brother Qin, would you like some wine?”

“Of course.”

Qin Jue accepted without bothering to be polite.

Therefore, the two of them sat in the pavilion and drank wine.

Not long after, a crisp knock sounded outside the courtyard.

“Come in.”

Creak.

The courtyard door opened and a figure walked in. It was the youth from last night.

“Greetings, seniors.”

The young man lowered his head and bowed respectfully.

“What’s the matter?”

Qin Jue took a sip of wine and casually asked.

“The fiend beasts have already appeared. My father is leading his clansmen there, so he sent me to ask the two seniors for help.”

“Oh?” “So soon?”

Qin Jue was slightly surprised and then asked, “What’s your name?”

“Huh?”

The young man didn’t expect Qin Jue to suddenly ask this question. After hesitating for a long time, he hesitantly answered, “Yu Ling.”

The young man looked to be about twenty years old, and his cultivation was already at the early-phase of the Profound Stage. In a place like this, he could be considered a genius.

What was worth mentioning was that the young man was once a core disciple of the Stargate Sect. However, after the Stargate Sect was disbanded, he returned to his own clan.

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Qin Jue put down his wine glass and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Ling felt his vision flash, and by the time he reacted, he had actually arrived on the city wall.

What kind of technique was this?

Instant teleportation?

Yu Ling was dumbfounded.

“Roar!”

At this moment, a deafening beast roar sounded, waking Yu Ling up.

Outside the city walls, more than ten fiend beasts were rushing over crazily. Their eyes were scarlet red, as if they had lost their minds, looking sinister and terrifying.

“Fire!”

On the city wall, Yu Canghai, who was dressed in armor, waved his hand. Countless sharp arrows immediately tore through the air and shot towards the fiend beasts.

These sharp arrows were all attached with spirit energy and had extremely strong penetrative power. They might be useless against high-level fiend beasts, but against these low-level fiend beasts, they were a great killing weapon.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The arrow blades pierced into the fiend beasts. A few fiend beasts with weaker defenses fell on the spot and lost their vitality. Even if the other fiend beasts rushed over at the moment, these fiend beasts were still going to die.

“Patriarch is mighty!”

All the Yu Clan cultivators immediately shouted in unison.

No matter what, Yu Canghai was still a peak Earth Stage cultivator and was only a step away from the Heaven Stage. As long as it wasn’t a Heaven Stage fiend beast, it basically wouldn’t pose a threat to him.

“Are these the fiend beasts you mentioned?”

Qin Jue put his hands behind his back and broke the cheer.

“Senior, you’re here.”

Yu Canghai was overjoyed.

“It doesn’t look that bad.”

Qin Jue said faintly.

Yu Canghai’s expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained, “Senior, you might not know this, but this is only the first wave. There will be even stronger fiend beasts coming next.”

“Oh? Really?”

Qin Jue revealed an intriguing smile.

“Roar!”

As expected, at the end of his field of vision, waves of beast roars sounded out from the pitch-black forest again, causing him to shudder.

“It’s coming!”

Yu Canghai’s expression was solemn and was not the slightest bit suspicious.

If this world had an Oscar award for best actor, then he would surely win.

Qin Jue didn’t expose the other party. He wanted to see what Yu Canghai was planning.

“Roar!”

Another roar sounded as more fiend beasts rushed out of the Black Forest. Among them, there were even two Earth Stage fiend beasts.

“Not good!”

Yu Canghai was shocked and subconsciously looked at Qin Jue and Long Zhen, but the two of them had no intention of attacking. Seeing this, Yu Canghai could only grit his teeth and brace himself to fight.

Fortunately, the Yu Clan had more than one Earth Stage expert. Even though they were facing two Earth Stage fiend beasts, they still seemed to be at ease.

“These fiend beasts should have been affected by something and deliberately attracted over.”

Long Zhen transmitted his voice.

“You can tell?”

Qin Jue was rather surprised.

“Hehe, it’s just a small trick, something I used to play with.”

Long Zhen didn’t care.

As the first peerless genius to advance to the Great Sage Stage within a hundred years of the Spirit Central World, Long Zhen had encountered countless life and death crises. Many of them had been resolved by his use of fiend beasts, and he was extremely knowledgeable about such methods.

In addition, Earth Stage fiend beasts often already had a certain level of intelligence, but these two Earth Stage fiend beasts were exceptionally strange, as if they didn’t know how to fight at all. Even if they didn’t know any martial techniques, they shouldn’t be like this.

“Rip!”

After cutting off the head of the Earth Stage fiend beast, Yu Canghai bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, pretending to be injured.

After returning to the city wall, Yu Canghai spat out another mouthful of blood, afraid that Qin Jue had missed it the first time.

“Patriarch Yu, are you alright?”

Qin Jue was speechless. This guy really knew how to act.

“I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s just a small injury.”

Yu Canghai waved his hand and said indifferently.

“I see. Since it’s a small injury, I’m relieved.”

Qin Jue heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Yu Canghai :”…”

Are you kidding me? Are you really here to help us expel the fiend beasts?

“Roar!”

At this moment, the third wave of fiend beasts appeared. Yu Canghai immediately wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. If this continued, he would probably die of exhaustion before his plan could succeed.

At this moment, Yu Canghai could no longer be bothered. He fell to the ground with a plop and “fainted”.

“Patriarch, Patriarch!”

The other Yu Clan cultivators immediately surrounded him in panic and were at a loss. After all, Yu Canghai had never mentioned to them that he was going to do something like this.

Now that Yu Canghai had fainted, what were they supposed to do?

Another Earth Stage cultivator immediately understood and said, “Sigh, Patriarch only fainted because his spirit energy was exhausted and his physical strength was insufficient.”

Qin Jue :”…”

“Alright, leave these fiend beasts to me.”

At this point, it would be unreasonable for Qin Jue to not take action.

Moreover, Yu Canghai clearly planned to “act” until the end. Qin Jue couldn’t really ignore him, right?

Compared to the previous wave of fiend beasts, this wave was undoubtedly more powerful. The number of Earth Stage fiend beasts had also increased from two to three. If Qin Jue didn’t make a move, the Yu Clan most likely wouldn’t be able to hold on.

Boom!

A golden light flashed between heaven and earth, rushing out like a great river. It stretched for a thousand meters and instantly submerged all the fiend beasts.

When the golden light dissipated, the many fiend beasts also disappeared.

The entire place fell silent, as if all sounds had disappeared at this moment.
