Fantasy: I! Accept disciples and become stronger! - Chapter 372

Chapter 372 – Xiu Yuan’s Shock!

After saying that, the woman named Xiu Yuan snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeve.

Lin Tai was setting up a camp at the side. Seeing that the cultivator had already gone far, he came over and whispered,

“Little Brother Xuan Yi, there’s no need to pay too much attention to the cultivator. She has such a temper. Even Miss has been berated by her countless times. Actually, she’s not bad …”

Before Lin Tai could finish his sentence, Xiu Yuan went back and saw Lin Tai flipping his tongue beside Xuan Yi.

Lin Tai immediately frowned and retreated to the side, giving Xuan Yi a helpless look.

Xuan Yi raised his head indifferently. “Miss Xiu Yuan, is there anything else you want to explain?”

Xiu Yuan ignored Xuan Yi and tossed him a piece of dried meat. “It’s fine. Since you’ve started working, then bring the food to the guards. This is your rations for tonight. Keep it for yourself!”

“Besides that, the convoy is about to arrive at Nether Thunder Gorge. We need to speed up in the next few days. Don’t delay us!”

Without waiting for Xuan Yi to reply, Xiu Yuan turned around and left.

Xuan Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the piece of dried meat in his hands and put it into his hands helplessly.

However, his heart stirred as he looked at Lin Tai. “Brother Lin, what kind of place is this Nether Thunder Gorge?”

Hearing this, Lin Tai smiled and said, “The Nether Thunder Gorge is a dangerous place that we must pass through on our way back to the Northern Reaches. In the past, the humans of the Southern Border once fought demons here, causing numerous deaths and injuries. The Nether Qi was so deep that many Nether Demons were born. Even though they were completely witless, they were incomparably savage.“

“The weakest of those Nether Demons are in the Nascent Soul realm. The strongest are Origin King Realm or Human King Realm experts. In addition, when they appear, hundreds of Nether Demons will appear. Even a large merchant group like us will suffer heavy losses.”

After saying that, Lin Tai was probably worried that he would scare this “mortal” Xuan Yi, “However, Little Brother Xuan Yi, you don’t have to worry. We’ve passed through the Nether Thunder Gorge many times, and we increased our speed a few days ago. After that, we’ll camp a few hundred kilometers to the south of the Nether Thunder Gorge. We’ll pass through the Nether Thunder Gorge when it’s dawn. This way, we won’t attract Nether Demon, so it won’t be dangerous.”

Xuan Yi was shocked when he heard this. No wonder the atmosphere within the merchant group had become slightly heavy these past few days.

Even though Lin Tai spoke casually, the worry in the depths of his eyes could not be hidden in front of Xuan Yi.

‘King level? Nether Demon? The local conditions of the Eastern Continent are indeed very different. If there’s a chance, I’d like to see it.’

After returning to his tent, Xuan Yi did not fall asleep. Instead, he circulated the Scripture of the Supreme Dao [The Nirvana Scripture] once more.

He had used his spiritual sense to conceal his aura. With his methods, no matter how loud the commotion was, the people in the merchant group would not be able to detect it.

As time passed, Xuan Yi raised his head from his cultivation a few days later and looked at the bright white light in the horizon.

The spirit yuan in his body, which had been silent for a long time, started to boil as the third spirit yuan node lit up.

It was just that this bit of spirit energy had been poured into the damaged meridians. After the healing work, it was quickly exhausted.

Three spiritual nodes could only build a small spiritual energy cycle, and the speed of accumulating spiritual energy was too little compared to the consumption by the healing injuries.

It was still too little, and there was no way it could hold any spirit yuan.

However, even so, Xuan Yi’s current battle strength was far stronger than when he had just awakened.

Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes and slightly clenched his fist as he looked at the precipitous gorge that was covered in a dark purple aura.

If there really was a Nether Demon that had jumped out at this moment, he could give it a try to get a rough idea of how strong he had become.

The next moment, it was as though it was to satisfy Xuan Yi’s little wish.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound could be heard from the Nether Thunder Gorge fifty kilometers away!

“What’s going on? Why is there still the Nether Tide?“

A sharp whistling sound tore through the silent night, alarming the entire merchant group.

The guards of the merchant group hurriedly rushed out of the tent, and Lin Tai along with the other guards immediately made a defensive formation around the front of the merchant group.

“It seems that someone deliberately triggered the Nether Tide … Not good, quickly retreat!”

Xiu Yuan’s figure flashed and arrived at the front of the merchant group. Her gaze pierced through the barrier and stayed there until she could clearly see the Nether Tide.

The woman’s originally indifferent and delicate face suddenly changed. She turned around and shouted.

“All of you, quickly put away those precious spiritual medicines. You can’t care much about them now!”

Although they had storage treasures like storage pouches, they were still dwarfed by the goods they had purchased.

At this moment, they could only choose the most valuable items to store in their storage pouches. As for the remaining items, they could only temporarily leave them behind.

The young lady called Wei Yue had yet to react.

However, from Xiu Yuan’s serious expression, she immediately realized that the situation was urgent. She couldn’t be bothered to ask any further and hurriedly called for the merchant group to pack their goods.

Evacuate in the shortest amount of time.

“What are you still standing there for! Hurry and help!”

Xuan Yi stood in the midst of the chaotic crowd, wanting to see what was going on with the so-called Nether Tide.

However, Xiu Yuan noticed it and immediately berated him.

But, it was this moment of stupefaction that …

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dark black shadows encompassed the entire vicinity, and they were like arrows that left the bow as they attacked Xiu Yuan and the others!

This was especially the case for the three black figures that had charged to the front, and it even caused the expressions of Lin Tai and the other guards to instantly change!

They finally understood why Xiu Yuan had decisively ordered them to retreat the moment she sensed the Nether Tide.

She would not hesitate to lose a large amount of goods.

That was because the Nether Demon Tide that had attacked their merchant group numbered in thousands.

The three Nether Demon leaders that charged at the front with the strongest auras were on par with the mid King Realm cultivators!

“Damned beast!”

Xiu Yuan clenched her silver teeth and raised her hand to push Wei Yue under her protection. A purple light flashed from her waist as the Purple Jade Spirit Sword flew out!

With a whoosh sound, she blocked the attacks of the two Nether Demon Chiefs!

However, the third Nether Demon Chief suddenly froze the moment before the Purple Jade Spirit Sword landed on his body.

With an unbelievable turn of his body, the devilish long tail embedded with a sharp spike swept down accompanied by a sharp sound, and rushed towards Xiu Yuan

“Cultivator!”

Lin Tai and the rest of the guards cried out in alarm as they rushed forward to block the attack.

However, with their cultivation bases, even if the Nether Demons didn’t have any intelligence, they would still be suppressed by the vicious aura, and wouldn’t even be able to move!

They could only watch helplessly as the long tail smashed towards Xiu Yuan.

Xiu Yuan gritted her teeth. Her long sword flashed like lightning. She simply had no time to change her moves.
