Teammates and a Welcome Feast
Following Long Kuang to a lavishly decorated room, Long Kuang poured him a cup of tea and then sat back on a wooden chair without saying a word. Yang Tianyou could tell that this guy was a quiet type, so he didn't pay any attention and drank his tea while looking around at the various furnishings in the room.
A moment later, a little boy dressed in a red robe pushed open the door and walked in. He was only up to Yang Tianyou's waist, with a rosy face and mysterious, intricate Spirit Mark around his neck. Upon seeing Yang Tianyou, the boy's Shen Yi lit up, and he quickly sat down next to him, saying in a very familiar tone, "Are you Long Kuang's new teammate? Let me see your information: Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body, plus Blade Cultivator... hmm... that's exactly the position our Hongya Squad is lacking. Eh? Why are you a newbie?"
The little boy scratched his head, then quickly smiled brightly, "But it's okay, I'll get used to the rules of the battlefield after a few more experiences in the team."
While the little boy was checking his information using the Battlefield Badge, Yang Tianyou was also checking the little boy's information using the badge.
The Jie Yuan, Poison Cultivators and Insect Cultivators, Body Integration the Great Perfection combat power.
"Poison Cultivator, Insect Cultivator?" Yang Tianyou was somewhat surprised. Both of these paths are extremely troublesome in the Late Stages, let alone when they are combined in one person. This guy is definitely not someone to be trifled with, not as harmless as he appears on the surface.
Moreover, despite the fact that this Jie Yuan appears to be Human Race boy, Yang Tianyou keenly sensed that he was not Human Race, nor Demon Race, Spirit Tribe, or other common race. He must be a special race, and such special races usually have one or two unique, trump card methods. He wondered what this Jie Yuan's methods were.
After a while, one after another, members of the Hongya Squad entered the room, making a total of six people including Long Kuang and Jie Yuan.
Long Kuang and Jie Yuan need no further introduction. The remaining four are Captain Hong Ya, ranked 357th on the Ninefold Universe Continent Body Integration Realm's Wanted List wanted gods and demons at the Gods and Devils Realm. He is exceptionally powerful and has even clashed head-on with Bandit Cultivator without being at a disadvantage.
As for what this Wanted List is, that's a long story.
Originally used in the Three Realms, the Original Demon Realm, and the Ancient God Realm to issue bounties for outstanding cultivators on the battlefield, it gradually changed its purpose later on.
As the saying goes, the enemy's approval is one's greatest medal of Military Merit. The Wanted List has gradually become the best proof of a cultivator's strength. After all, no matter how much one boasts, it is just self-praise. The enemy's affirmation is the greatest honor.
Because the original Devil Race and the Ancient God Clan were united against the Three Realms, their Wanted Lists for one side of the Three Realms were collectively known as the Gods and Devils Wanted List.
The Wanted List in the Three Realms is called the Three Realms Wanted List, and it is divided into different levels according to different realms.
The most Wanted List in the Ninefold Universe Continent is the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Immortals and Gods are few in number and not listed on any list. However, it is said that there is a list of Immortals and Gods in the higher-level Extraterrestrial Battlefields. One can imagine how fierce the battles there must be.
That said, Hong Ya mainly cultivates the Beast-Taming Way and has several powerful Eighth Tier Spirit Beasts at his disposal. He also possesses a fusion Divine Ability that allows him to draw upon the power of Spirit Beasts. Although it is far from comparable to Yang Tianyou's Star-Chart Disk and Seven-Star Spirit-Raising Formation, its effect is still quite astonishing. It is precisely by using this Divine Ability that he has been able to fight head-on against Bandit Cultivator and establish a formidable reputation.
After Hong Ya, there are Kumao, Duo Ling, and Red Hawk, the remaining three teammates.
Kumao is a rare corpse cultivator. It is a cat demon that died and eventually gained sentience after a long period of time. It gradually grew up and its combat power is also at the Great Perfection of the Body Integration.
The Duo Ling the Soul Way and Curse Way, and is even more terrifying than these two paths, or even the Poison Dao of the Jie Yuan. He can truly kill without leaving a trace.
The final Red Hawk was a graceful and radiant woman, dressed in a rather revealing red dress that exposed a large expanse of her fair back. The dress featured a high side slit, exposing her long, shapely, and snow-white legs. She was truly an alluring beauty. However, the members of the Hong Ya team present held Red Hawk in high esteem because she was the second strongest among the six, after Hong Ya, and ranked 593rd on the Gods and Devils Wanted List. She was a Formation Cultivator, and if given time to devise a plan, she could be even more lethal than Hong Ya.
"Welcome to the team, Fellow Daoist Taibai!" A soft, tingling voice echoed in the room. Red Eagle strode up to Yang Tianyou with her two long, white, python-like legs. After sizing him up for a moment, she smiled. This woman possessed extraordinary charm; once her smile bloomed, the entire room seemed to brighten up.
"The combined power of the War God Way and the Blade Dao, Body Integration the Great Perfection, is indeed enough for you to join my Hongya Squad," the Kumao said, perched on Long Kuang's shoulder.
"I didn't expect to recruit such teammates in the Yellow Swallow Mountains. I thought we wouldn't be able to fill our ranks again until we returned to Hidden Star Lake." This time, it was Duo Ling who spoke. He was hidden under a gray-brown cloak, which must have been a powerful Spirit Treasure. Yang Tianyou couldn't see through it; all he could see was darkness and emptiness.
"Alright, with our new teammate here, let's celebrate at New Moon Cave Abode as usual," said Hong Ya. He was a pure Human Race, with a heroic appearance, bronze skin, and a very cheerful and generous personality, giving people a very good impression from the moment he spoke.
"Yay, we can go out for a meal again. Who's going to treat this time?" Jie Yuan looked around excitedly, only to find that everyone's eyes were on him except for Yang Tianyou.
Seeing this, Jie Yuan let out a wail, "No way, why is it my turn again?!"
"Hehe, let's go!" She covered her mouth and chuckled, then the group walked out of the room.
Cultivators on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield are constantly accompanied by death. Apart from a very few madmen and those who love killing, other cultivators need various ways to relax. Delicious food and wine are among the most popular ways to relax, and few living beings can resist the temptation of delicious food.
New Moon Cave Abode is a very famous restaurant, said to have branches in many Extraterrestrial Battlefield, and is the property of a Heavenly Lord.
The food here is exceptional in both ingredient selection and cooking techniques, and the wine is so fragrant that it can be smelled from afar, and it also possesses various special health benefits.
Good things naturally come at a high price. The welcoming banquet for the Hongya Squad was quite expensive, but the people present didn't seem to care much. Having hovered between life and death, their sensitivity to Spirit Stones had long since diminished. Although Jie Yuan seemed to be in pain, Yang Tianyou could tell that he didn't care about the expenses. The reason he pretended to be in pain was just his personality.
