Three Saints of the Spirit Mist

Daylight broke, and the search for the disciples of each sect proceeded quite smoothly. With their Divine Sense Compass as guides, the minor demons they encountered along the way, whether alone or in groups, posed no threat to the dozens of Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators. One by one, the disciples were found, and then escorted in batches by several elders to the grand formation at the mountain peak. Many disciples were even rescued during their confrontations with demons along the way. The disciples from each sect who returned to the summit were all overjoyed. They knew that this trial was likely to end ahead of schedule.

"Good stuff, good stuff! This Demon Ghost Domain is truly a wonderful place." Yue Qianchou held a strangely shaped, freshly dug-up plant in his hands and laughed wildly. Not far away, Kou Xuehua held a blood-stained sword, panting heavily, and stared at him with a face full of resentment. A giant python lay dead not far beside her.

"Senior Brother Yue, haven't we gone too far?" Gu Qingyun looked around, becoming more and more alarmed as they walked. Yue Qianchou deliberately chose to walk in some messy and dangerous places. They had already gone quite far. He saw some unknown flowers and plants that hopped around faster than rabbits and ran over to dig them up.

Fortunately, among them was Kou Xuehua, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. She saved them from several dangerous encounters along the way. However, Yue Qianchou remained unrepentant, treating the dangers of the Demon Ghost Domain as nothing, while the flowers and plants seemed to be his lifeblood. Even the other inexperienced women were affected by his attitude, as if the Demon Ghost Domain was indeed nothing special, and they would incessantly remind him of any unfamiliar flowers and plants they saw.

Yue Qianchou tossed the things in his hand into his Storage Bag, patted Gu Qingyun's shoulder with a grin, and said, "Gu Qingyun, how many times have I told you? From today onwards, you have to call me 'Boss,' not 'Senior Brother.' Although my cultivation is a little higher than yours, I don't like it. Don't forget what you said before: as long as you can leave the Demon Ghost Domain alive, you'll be mine."

"Yes! Yes! We all heard it... We can testify." Xiao Wanqing and the other two girls happily joined in the commotion. These three were oblivious to the dangers and had a great time playing with Yue Qianchou, unaware of the hardships Kou Xuehua had endured along the way. They only knew how to cheer and shout from the sidelines.

Gu Qingyun could only smile wryly. Yue Qianchou kept reminding him of that matter, seemingly taking it seriously. What was he to say? He was much more rational than the three women. They hadn't encountered any powerful monsters yet, and Kou Xuehua could still handle it. If Yue Qianchou continued like this, trouble was bound to follow sooner or later. But Yue Qianchou's prestige was too high now, and the women listened to him without question, while he was powerless and had little influence.

"Oh dear!" Yue Qianchou suddenly pointed to a mountain peak shrouded in mist not far away and exclaimed, "Spiritual Qi gathers in the mist, and the wind blows endlessly. What a place full of Spiritual Qi! There must be something extraordinary there. Let's go and take a look."

"No! Something's not right ahead. There might be some powerful monster." Kou Xuehua suddenly spoke up to stop her. She tucked a strand of her hair, which was a little messy from the fight, behind her ear and stared at the place Yue Qianchou had mentioned. Compared to the surrounding area, the trees there were unusually tall and dense, and it was deathly silent. She had noticed it long ago, and intuitively, she knew it must be very dangerous.

Gu Qingyun also noticed something was amiss. He'd heard terrifying, strange cries along the way, but now that they were closer, there was absolutely no sound. It was too quiet. He nodded and said, "Grandmaster Kou is right. Senior Brother Yue, let's take a detour!" As for "elder brother," he still couldn't bring himself to call him that.

"No need, I'll take care of everything. I'll make sure you're all safe." After saying that, Yue Qianchou took the lead and left. Xiao Wanqing and the other two women exchanged glances. Someone had veto power, so their objections were invalid. They happily followed him.

Blind worship! Kou Xuehua and Gu Qingyun exchanged a glance, shook their heads with wry smiles, and followed helplessly.

The mountains were verdant, the trees were tall and the forests were dense, and the vegetation was full of life. After passing through a dense forest, the group stopped at the foot of the not-so-high mountain. The mountaintop was shrouded in mist from the gathering of Spiritual Qi. With each breath, a rich fragrance wafted around, and their nostrils could always catch a faint, unique scent.

In this place, there is a winding, narrow path that leads straight up the mountain. At the starting point, a stone tablet deters the few people from climbing the mountain.

"Trespassers will be killed! The Three Saints of the Spirit Mist." Gu Qingyun finished reading the inscription and looked at Yue Qianchou with Kou Xuehua. Seeing such an uncompromising message, Xiao Wanqing and the other two women hesitated.

"The Three Saints of the Spirit Mist? Are they human, demon, or ghost? What exactly are these three beings?" Yue Qianchou asked, stroking his chin in confusion. He stared at the inscription on the stone tablet and muttered to himself, "Who is so powerful? The Three Saints of the Spirit Mist! Judging from their names, they seem to have an extraordinary background! I wonder if the Ghost General's Ghost King Token can protect them? It seems that Yu Ji once said that within a radius of thousands of miles, demons and ghosts alike must give face to the token."

Thinking of this, Yue Qianchou felt much more at ease. He circulated his True Essence, put his hands together, and made a megaphone-like sound with his mouth, shouting loudly towards the mountain, "Are the Three Saints of the Spirit Mist on the mountain? I have come to pay my respects!" His voice boomed up the mountain.

The others were taken aback. What was he doing? Was he trying to make sure everyone knew someone had broken into the mountain?

"Who's shouting down the mountain?" A voice immediately echoed back from the mountain. Three gray figures flashed by, and two strangely-looking old men and a beautiful, seductive woman appeared before them in an instant.

Both sides sized each other up. Kou Xuehua immediately realized that the three women's cultivation levels far surpassed her own, and she began to feel anxious, regretting that Yue Qianchou had run off recklessly. Gu Qingyun sighed inwardly, wondering if this was a blessing or a curse. What was this guy doing? Was he out of his mind, or had he never seen danger before? He never seemed afraid of anything. Sensing the tense atmosphere, even the three arrogant women began to show signs of fear.

After a short while, Yue Qianchou cupped his hands and said with a smile, "My name is Yue Qianchou. I originally wanted to visit this mountain because of its beautiful scenery, but when I arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw the stone tablet, I realized that it was already occupied. Therefore, I apologize for disturbing you. I hope you will forgive me."

"What a joke! Sightseeing in the Demon Ghost Domain? Do you think you're the Demon King or the Ghost King? Even we wouldn't dare to make such boastful claims." The Three Saints of the Spirit Mist exchanged bewildered glances. There were actually six people, six ordinary mortals with mediocre cultivation levels. The leader's cultivation was particularly difficult to discern; judging from his appearance, his cultivation level couldn't be that high.

Seeing that the three remained silent, Yue Qianchou laughed again, "I presume you three are the renowned Three Saints of the Spirit Mist? I have long admired your names, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved." The men behind him felt a chill; this guy could say anything. They hadn't even known what the Three Saints of the Spirit Mist were until now, and he was already talking about them after just one meeting.

Upon hearing this, an old man with a full head of yellow hair that was sticking out on top of his head chuckled and said, "I wondered who dared to trespass on Lingwu Mountain. It turns out there are several people!" He deliberately emphasized the word "people" in his words, which undoubtedly told the other party that the three of them were not human.

"Hehe! Indeed, a rare guest!" The glamorous woman laughed, her breasts jiggling.

Another elderly man, whose appearance was fairly decent, disgustingly stuck out his tongue and licked around his lips, then chuckled, "Since you have long admired our names, you must know the reputation of the three of us in the Demon Ghost Domain. It is quite novel that someone with shallow cultivation would dare to venture here. It seems we are in for a treat today. I haven't tasted human flesh in a long time."

"Swish, swish..." Seeing the situation was not good, the group quickly drew their swords, with Kou Xuehua even holding her sword horizontally in front of Yue Qianchou. Yue Qianchou glanced at her with satisfaction and nodded to himself, but then gently pushed her aside and stepped forward, causing the people behind him to be startled.

"Hmph! You shameless bastards! Three little demons dare to establish your reputation in the Demon Ghost Domain. Even the Demon King and Ghost King who rule over this area for thousands of miles wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of me. What are you?" Yue Qianchou sneered disdainfully, slowly raising a dark token in his hand towards the three demons.
