To keep the disturbance to a minimum, Xiao Hong ascended very slowly.
Several full minutes later, beneath the dense seven-colored mist that limited visibility to a mere few meters, the ground suddenly loosened.
Yet not the slightest sound came from this disturbance.
A moment later, the dense seven-colored mist seemed to twist into two human-shaped hollows, then immediately returned to normal, as though nothing had happened.
Mu Ye surveyed his surroundings, his eyes burning with excitement. "The Seven-Colored Poison Miasma! This is it! We've found the right place!"
Han Tianyi felt the corrosive strength of the seven-colored mist, and surprise crossed his face.
The rumors were true.
But he knew the purpose of their visit. His Spiritual Power had already spread out covertly at the first opportunity, bringing the locations of every monitoring device and a strange lake where icy blue and fiery red coexisted into his perception.
However, he chose not to destroy those monitoring devices.
Their current concealment was more than enough!
"This way." Han Tianyi shared his perceptions with Mu Ye through his Spiritual Power.
Mu Ye immediately reined in the excitement in his eyes. Together with Han Tianyi, he sprang from the ground and rushed toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
They left no ripples in their wake. Only as they drew near did Han Tianyi's expression shift slightly, and he said in surprise, "The auras of six Ferocious Beasts!"
Even Mu Ye was startled by this.
But then Han Tianyi's brows furrowed slightly again. "No, that's not right. Although all six have formed human bodies and possess the abilities of Ferocious Beasts, none of their cultivation has truly surpassed two hundred thousand years."
"The strongest is only a little over a hundred and ninety thousand years."
"I haven't sensed the aura of a 'Guardian Dragon.'"
"If that's all there is, I think this trip has just become much easier."
A sharp light flashed in Han Tianyi's eyes. With his Spiritual Power, he could instantly stun these "Pseudo-Ferocious Beasts," whose strongest member had barely exceeded a hundred and ninety thousand years.
Mu Ye understood this as well, and his eyes immediately flashed. "Then what are we waiting for, Martial Uncle? Let's do it!"
Han Tianyi nodded, and his Spiritual Power surged.
One moment, the six Ferocious Beasts in human form within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been gathered together, talking and laughing.
The next, their eyes all went blank.
Immediately afterward, two figures rushed in. Mu Ye's eyes flashed as he locked onto one of them, delight filling his face. "Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew! It's actually formed a human body. Its cultivation may only be a hundred and ten thousand years, but for Su Xun, it'll be a tremendous tonic!"
He reached out and grabbed, his hand abruptly expanding and lengthening. Light flickered in his palm as he seized Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's human form.
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew snapped awake, blazing with fury. "Who are you? Don't you know that we Ferocious Beasts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well have entered into a contract with the Tang Sect?"
"You dare attack us so recklessly? Aren't you afraid the Tang Sect will discover the truth and take revenge?!"
Under the cover of Han Tianyi's Spiritual Power, Mu Ye's appearance had already changed. At those words, he gave a cold laugh. "We of Shrek and the Tang Sect are one. What can the Tang Sect do to me?"
"You, on the other hand, enjoy the Tang Sect's protection yet dream of independence. You've already paved your own road to death!"
"Even if the truth comes to light, the Tang Sect will merely put on a show in public. In private, they might even have to thank us at Shrek."
Han Tianyi and Mu Ye worked together with perfect coordination. While Mu Ye spoke, Han Tianyi had already awakened the other five Ferocious Beasts so they could hear every word clearly.
Still, to be safe, Han Tianyi deliberately used his Spiritual Power to construct an Illusory Realm prison around this area.
To these Immortal Herb Ferocious Beasts, their surroundings looked no different from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, yet the monitoring devices detected nothing unusual.
The human form of the aromatic silk beauty, whose cultivation exceeded a hundred and ninety thousand years and was closest to the two-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, was a man in purple robes.
Hearing Mu Ye's words, he immediately burned with rage and cursed, "We cooperate with the Tang Sect, allowing them to take two priceless treasures at regular intervals."
"Over ten thousand years, how many favors have we bestowed upon the Tang Sect? Now, since you are plainly one and the same, why are you tearing up this pact?"
"Aren't you afraid we'll fight until the fish dies and the net breaks?"
As he spoke, his power surged as he tried to contact the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. However, he failed.
The purple-robed man's heart immediately sank. He stood with the other five Immortal-Grade Ferocious Beasts, his expression exceedingly grim.
Among them, a woman with a voluptuous figure and the fiercest temper could no longer restrain herself and attacked.
With a sharp whoosh, intensely blazing flames erupted, forming a terrifying sea of fire that poured toward Mu Ye.
On the other side, a blue-clad youth wreathed in icy energy and a black-clad man radiating a tough, resilient aura attacked simultaneously, seeking to rescue Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
Ultimate ice and fire descended at once, accompanied by drifting bamboo leaves like black jade.
Mu Ye laughed coldly. "Mere Pseudo-Ferocious Beasts, with such crude control over your power, and you dare attack me?"
With that, he swept out his palm. With a bang, every attack shattered into nothingness.
At the same time, through the connection between Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's human form and its original body, he had located the plant itself.
After a moment's hesitation, his gaze turned cold, and he murmured inwardly, If this were an unclaimed treasure land, I'd leave your roots behind and wait for you to revive.
But the Tang Sect and Shrek are one. Shrek seized our Body Secret Art and refused to return it, bringing the Body Sect to this state of decline.
Now we've made enemies of each other as well. Leaving your roots would be no different from cutting down weeds without pulling them up by the roots. Don't blame me for being ruthless!
He exerted his strength and swept out a hand, digging up the entire patch of earth through which the roots of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's original body extended.
At the sight, the purple-robed man and the other Ferocious Beasts' faces darkened like still water, their eyes nearly spitting fire.
Mu Ye's gaze swept toward them. "I'll be taking the rest of you too!"
A chill immediately ran through the purple-robed man and the other Ferocious Beasts, and fear surfaced in their eyes.
Their cultivation depended entirely on the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Their combat strength fell far short of Soul Beasts with equivalent cultivation.
Even their control over their power was crude.
The cultivation aura emanating from their opponent was simply impossible for them to resist.
Just then, Mu Ye's ears twitched slightly. His expression changed abruptly, and he immediately turned in another direction, switching targets.
Moving as swiftly as lightning under Han Tianyi's guidance, he darted purposefully from spot to spot, then swiftly withdrew.
At the same time, he did not forget to roar, "Damn the Tang Sect! You agreed to work with us to eliminate these six festering tumors, yet you still plotted against us! Just you wait! You Ferocious Beasts and the Tang Sect alike-I'll spare none of you!"
As his words fell, Mu Ye had already vanished.
The purple-robed man and the other four Ferocious Beasts froze, then exchanged bewildered looks.
The next moment, terrifying auras emerged, and two fearsome dragon roars suddenly rang out. Within the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, two dragon souls abruptly awakened. Their terrifying auras surged, immediately triggering the densely packed monitoring devices hidden all around them.
At that same moment, red lights suddenly blazed within the Tang Sect's True Headquarters beneath Heaven Dou City.
A handsome man dressed in white abruptly opened his eyes, terrifying Sword Intent flowing around him.
"How dare you!"
Before you continue
