Chapter 113: Th

Hearing the conversation between Lou Mu Yan and Yun Zi Mo, the others also listened carefully, and they realised that there was indeed a very ethereal flute sound coming from a distance.

“This must be the Ye Clan’s Beast Taming Skill.” Lou Mu Bai’s eyes were profound, with a look of understanding.

A gentle smile appeared on Lan Si’s handsome and elegant face as he folded his arms: “Ye Zhan is indeed amazing. Such scale and skill, only he could exert it. Truly worthy as the Eastern Region’s peerless genius.”

Lou Mu Yan didn’t express her opinion. She had seen a similar Beast Taming Skill back at the Beast Tamers Sect. This was different to the Beast Taming Incantation she obtained but it had the same effect. However, the level of this skill was many times worse than the one she knew of.

If her strength reached Sword Sovereign, or she successfully formed her core, she would also be able to achieve this sort of skill level in controlling Beasts.

Unconsciously, her hand touched the Ice Bangle again—strength, power, a strong determination burst out from the bottom on her heart.

“So this turned out to be the control of Senior Ye Zhan’s flute sound. How amazing!” Xiao Zi Ang couldn’t help revealing a sliver of admiration. That man was simply the legend of the Eastern Region within the last hundred years.

Hearing Xiao Zi Ang’s way of address towards Ye Zhan, Lou Mu Yan suddenly realised that, aside from when Lan Si added a ‘Senior’ when speaking to Xin Bo Jian, afterwards, regardless of who, he addressed Sword Sovereign powerhouses with their names—addressing them as equals to him.

She even faintly felt that Lan Si’s gentle tone carried a sense of indifference. Aside from his special appreciation for Ye Zhan, he didn’t show any respect that a junior should possess towards Sword Sovereign powerhouses at all.

It might not be easy for other people to discover it, but she also held such a state of heart as she, who used to be the Female Immortal of the Spiritual World, bore absolutely no fear of Sword Sovereign powerhouses.

In her eyes, what they represented was simply a higher cultivation base than her right now. Aside from that, at most it was appreciation of individuals, such as the same appreciation of Ye Zhan.

The strength of a Sword Sovereign was only equivalent to the cultivation base of a Core Formation Stage in the Immortal Cultivation World—what she used to consider to be an ant-like presence.

But she dared to conclude that she and Lan Si were definitely not the same kind of people. He had a deep secret behind him. His cultivation base should’ve been hidden, and it was probable that even his usual gentle and refined temperament was just an appearance.

But who had no secrets? Lan Si wasn’t hostile to her, that was enough. She had no intention of exploring other people’s secrets.

Seeing Xin Bo Jian lead the pupils from the Xin Clan to emerge from another side to join the other nine Distinguished Clans, rushing forward and about to reach the foot of the tall mountain, Lan Si said leisurely: “Let’s go too.”

“Yes!” The others also leapt off the cliff with him and rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, Demonic Beasts fought each other while from time to time, when they saw them in their crazed state, they would also attack. But they were all easily killed by Lou Mu Bai and Yun Zi Mo, the two leading people.

Lou Mu Yan looked at the rainbow hanging over the tall mountain. A faint heart palpitation spontaneously emerged within her. She furrowed her brows—it seemed that there was extreme danger and little fortune this time. 

However, she wasn’t afraid. Without the courageous heart to go forward, how could she hack through brambles and thorns and charge onto the path of the strong.

“Mo Yan, did the Tier 7 Demonic Beast hide itself?” Lou Mu Yan discovered that since the attack from the Fire Ants, that sense of oppression that enveloped them in the scarlet forest gradually withdrew.

With his eyes closed, Mo Yan laid on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder, and without even raising his eyelids, “It must be the appearance of the Human Sword Sovereigns that made him fear, so he hid himself. That Queen Mother Ant was also driven by him to besiege you all. But that person named Ye Zhan must’ve found him.”

“Why do you say so?” Lou Mu Yan asked with interest.

“Intuition.” After Mo Yan said that, he remained silent and rested his mind. A trace of Spiritual Force quickly entered his body from the outside, and the Demonic Energy that wound around his dan’tian was even denser than before.

After separating from Ming Xiu, Lou Mu Yan refined a few cauldrons of pills for Mo Yan. The blood essence and cultivation base he lost was quickly remedied by the pill, and his Demonic Energy also accumulated not far off from advancing.

If it weren’t for the wrong time and place, he had already planned to find a hidden place to condense his yao’fu.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at Mo Yan—intuition? Well, she also had the intuition that the Transformation Stage Demonic Beast was definitely not easy to deal with.

Because the sound of that very faint flute was still reverberating in the air, they reached the foot of the mountain with basically no hindrance along the way.

At this time, the pupils of the Ten Distinguish Clans had already entered a boundless, enormous cave at the foot of the mountain.

Lan Si looked at the entrance cautiously and had everyone restore their Elemental Energy and physical strength to its peak, then enter.

A quarter of an hour later, he waved his hand and led everyone into the cave.

The inside of the cave was very bright. There was only one narrow path leading to the depths, and on the two sides of the narrow path was surging and tumbling lava. If one accidentally fell into it, those Sword King strength and below would definitely go meet Yama1.

After walking another quarter of an hour, they crossed the narrow path. Then a hillside made of volcanic rock appeared before them.

What entered their eyes after crossing the hillside was astonishing.

The elite pupils and powerhouses stood on Lou Mu Yan and their party’s side, while in front of them was a lava lake that constantly bubbled, fiercely hot.

In the centre of the lava lake laid a long, thin, golden liquid which was slowly solidifying.

The most important thing was that on the opposite side of the Ten Distinguished Clans, which was also the other side of the lava lake, there stood two men who dressed uniquely.

One of them, although handsome and carried an effeminate feel, had a cyan sharp horn that emerged from his head, while the other was eight-feet tall, burly, and there were a few fingernail-sized scales on the side of his face.

Behind the two of them were more than a dozen Tier 6 Demonic Beasts, and only from two species. There were records of them on the Continent’s Demonic Beast Record. They were the Sky-Swallowing Python and the Spirit Rhinoceros Beast.

Seeing the more than a dozen Tier 6 Demonic Beasts, it wasn’t difficult to guess that the two people standing in front of them must be Tier 7 Transformation Stage Demonic Cultivators.

Lou Mu Yan’s gaze swept over the burly man. She felt the same oppressive aura that she felt in the scarlet forest. She could conclude that this large man was the Demonic Cultivator who ordered the Queen Fire Ant to attack them, and also a transformed Spirit Rhinoceros Beast.

Their arrival gained the attention of the two groups of people. Those in the Ten Distinguished Clans saw that it was the group Lan Si led, so they didn’t pay much attention, while the two Transformation Stage Demonic Cultivators swept over their cultivation base and their lips rose with ridicule.

Lou Mu Yan scanned the area secretly with her Spiritual Sense once, and found that guy, Ming Xiu’s, aura. But she couldn’t judge his position, probably because he used some sort of Secret Skill to hide.

“Human Sword Masters, what do you intend to do, breaking into This King’s cave dwelling?” The effeminate Demonic Cultivator at the Transformation Stage retracted his gaze on Lan Si and his party, then looked at the Sword Sovereigns of the Ten Distinguished Clans coldly, asking.

A yellow-clothed Sword Sovereign old man, who Lou Mu Yan had never seen before, sneered: “Humph, I sure don’t know when this volcano became the cave dwelling of a Sky-Swallowing Python. You beings that usually like the cold could survive for a long time in such high temperatures? What a joke.”

A chill radiated from the effeminate man, and the large man beside him, together with the Tier 6 Demonic Beasts behind them, prepared themselves, ready to act at any time.

The battle was on the verge of starting!

1Yama, the King of Hell in Buddhist and Hindu Mythology. So they’ll die, basically.
