Smack, smack, smack—
A woman brimming with charm stepped out from beneath the hidden shade of the trees. Her fair legs were faintly flushed, still bearing traces left after pleasure. Her jade-like hands clapped softly as she said, "Just look at This Servant's Little Husband. You really are amazing. They were Dou Zhe too, and even a few stars higher than you, yet you Instantly Killed every one of them the moment you made a move. As expected of This Servant's man~"
"However, Little Husband, This Servant would also like to be taught another lesson. After that enlightenment of yours, so many hours have already passed~"
Seeing our dear Sect Master Yun looking as if she had been utterly captivated by Qingyun's Big Stick, all alluring after being taught a lesson, Su Qingyun rubbed his temples as well. "Stop messing around. You're a Dou Emperor, at least pay some attention to your image. Besides, you didn't stop them at all."
"Wasn't This Servant just thinking that since Little Husband had just broken through, if they came looking for death, they could let you get some practice? I didn't expect even Nine Star Dou Zhe to be so Unable to Withstand a Single Blow. Sigh~"
"My good intentions were taken for Donkey's Liver and Lungs instead~"
"Besides, what image does This Servant still need? What image is even left? Inside and out, isn't all of it already gone?"
Yun Yun sighed, sounding rather resentful.
If the other experts of the Jia Ma Empire saw the empire's first Empress acting so coquettishly at this moment, they would probably be shocked out of their wits.
Of course, Su Qingyun actually had not expected Yun Yun's inner self to be like this either! He had always thought she was a relatively traditional and conservative woman, noble and dignified yet warmhearted. He had never imagined that after these past few days, he would only discover that a Demon of Desire was hidden in her heart! She seemed to have become deeply obsessed with the feeling of love, always wanting it deep, so her words and actions kept teasing Su Qingyun without her even realizing it.
There was also a different kind of interest to it; she had come to like being Burst Forward...
Su Qingyun was rather helpless too, and said blandly, "All right, I'm not blaming you either. Let's go."
"Where to?"
"Aren't we going to find the Amethyst Winged Lion King and take the Purple Spirit Crystal?"
"Fine... This Servant was still thinking Master would spend a few dozen more days entangled with This Servant in this world of Beautiful Scenery before going to find the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It seems This Servant was looking forward to it for nothing~"
Hearing this, Su Qingyun, who was stepping with Carefree Steps as he leapt down the Mountain Peaks, drifting gracefully above the treetops, nearly missed his footing and fell:
What the hell? These past few days were more than Dozens of Days, weren't they?
My pockets are almost empty, and you still want to keep digging? Several dozen more days?
Do you really not treat people as oxen?!
Women are too terrifying!
Outside the Mountain Peaks.
The members of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group had been waiting below the whole time.
Only, after waiting for so long without hearing any sounds of fighting from the Mountain Peaks, they were feeling puzzled. Unexpectedly, at that moment, Qing Xin pointed at the sky in surprise.
"Eldest Brother Ka Gang, something seems to have flown down from the Mountain Peaks?"
"It really did! But Sister Qing Xin, are you sure that counts as flying? It looks more like it fell down..."
"Whoosh~"
Boom—
All they heard was a heavy impact, and the ground around them trembled slightly.
The few of them hurried forward to check. With one look, they all froze on the spot, exchanging glances, looking at one another. "It's Gan Mu and Tian Guinong, and the other members of their squads!"
"What happened? Why did they jump off the cliff and kill themselves?"
The petite and slightly unruly Ling'er nudged their corpses with her little foot, her small face turning cold. "Dead... they're dead? The people from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and the Green Wood Mercenary Group would commit suicide? I don't believe it! Could it be that after doing too many evil deeds, they suddenly came to their senses?"
"But their deaths are way too strange, aren't they? Why did they jump down one stacked on top of another?"
"No... it wasn't suicide. They were killed by someone. Look, there's a hole in their bodies, and some Blood Fiend Qi is still lingering there. They were probably pierced through by something like a staff or spear."
"And with one spear strike, all of them were strung together and thrown down the cliff."
Qing Xin pinched her nose to block out the stench of blood and carefully examined the corpses, discovering this shocking fact.
At the same time, Ka Gang and Mo Shi also found a low-grade Storage Ring on these corpses, something ordinary Dou Zhe could not afford, with quite a few treasures inside that were good things to them.
"More than fifty thousand gold coins!"
"Yellow Tier Mid-Grade Movement Dou Technique: Extreme Reverse Plum-Stepping!"
"Yellow Rank Low-Grade Dou Technique: Involution."
"And several Magic Cores!"
Seeing these things, brilliant smiles appeared on the faces of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group members.
One had to know that for them, entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range to carry out a mission earned them a few hundred gold coins at most, and only a few dozen at the least. One trip took at least several days, and saving up tens of thousands of gold coins would take one or two years.
Even if these fifty thousand gold coins were split evenly, it was equivalent to working one year less. For workers, how could this not be unbelievably good news?
"I wonder who killed them? Could it have been because of that strange phenomenon earlier? Good thing we didn't go up, otherwise we would have died too."
"To survive in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it seems being too curious isn't a good thing."
Ka Gang said.
They could not help looking once more toward the Mountain Peaks where the strange phenomenon had originally appeared, their hearts filled with awe and gratitude.
Thanks for the gift from the heavens! But at that look, Ling'er rubbed her eyes.
"Good heavens! An immortal just leapt away from that mountain!"
Hearing Ling'er's exclamation, the relatively calm Qing Xin also looked over. In an instant, she could no longer stay calm, her eyes fixed firmly in that direction.
They saw a figure with an exceptionally outstanding bearing. Even from afar, he seemed peerless and stunning, with a faint white Immortal Spirit Aura lingering around him.
After steadying their gazes, they wanted to see a little more clearly. Although they could only roughly make out the young man's outline, and only for an instant, it still made their whole bodies tremble. That youth's immortal posture was deeply imprinted into their minds.
"He... who is he?"
"In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there is actually such a Peerless Grace young man, untainted by the mundane world. He truly sets one's imagination running!"
"So... so beautiful... did I see an immortal?"
Ling'er rubbed her eyes, looking every bit like a lovestruck Xiao Hua. Qing Xin's emotions also stirred, but in the blink of an eye, that Banished Immortal youth had already taken ethereal, carefree steps toward the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Yet that young man's incomparable side profile left an indelible impression on them! It immediately drew them to follow after him involuntarily.
Seeing their movements, Ka Gang and Mo Shi could not help asking:
"Where are you going?"
"To... to find that Banished Immortal youth!"
"We're going to pursue true love!"
"Ling'er, Qing Xin, have you gone mad? That direction is the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Second-rank, even third-rank and above beast kings run rampant there. With our strength, there is absolutely no chance of survival!"
"This is simply courting death!!!"
Just then, another graceful figure flew out from the Mountain Peaks.
Seeing the woman's azure wings, Ka Gang and Mo Shi were startled so badly their whole bodies trembled. "Dou Qi Wings! A Dou Wang-level expert!"
"Holy shit! No wonder they could Instantly Kill Gan Mu and Tian Guinong with one spear strike!"
"For an expert of this level to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it must be for rare treasures and Magical Beasts. This isn't something we can get involved in. Ling'er, Qing Xin, come back quickly!"
"Impulse is the Devil!!!"
