Chapter 49: A Surge of People

tless magic knives slashed at it, but they were all bounced away by the unbreakable tortoise shell."Damn it, this turtle shell is incredibly tough to break!" The Heavenly Demon Lord cursed under his...(With only 63 recommendations so far, fellow reader Fei Yang Ji Ju has contributed 48 of them. My deepest gratitude!

"Hurry, hurry up! If we're late, we won't even get to have a bowl of broth, let alone a gust of wind!" the one-eyed leader urged loudly.

Following the one-eyed giant were seven cultivators, four males and three females. Lu Xia Tian was startled; the lowest cultivation level among them was already at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Two of them had spiritual pressure that surpassed his by a significant margin, they should already be cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining.

“Why is Master Ma in such a hurry That crystal toad is a fourth-order monster, equivalent to the cultivation of a Qi Refining cultivator. It's hiding in the small lake, and if others discovered it, they could only watch helplessly. We can probably only wait for the foundation-building predecessors in望月城 to take charge.” A short knife youth at the fifth level of Qi Refining said as he hurried along the way.

“You don't know a thing. Ants can kill an elephant. Hundreds of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage wouldn't stand a chance against that demon beast. But there are at least a thousand people gathered near Little Lake, many of them late-stage Qi Refining masters. If we really wanted to, capturing that Crystal Toad wouldn't be difficult. In this Moonlit Mountain Range, spirit creatures are always guarded by demons. It's said that Cold Yin Stones have appeared in the lake. If we go too late, they might be snatched up by other crazed cultivators.” The burly man shouted angrily.

Eight people dashed by in a single row.

“Xiao Hu, Han You Stone, Crystal Toad” After those people left, Lu Xia Tian walked out from behind a tree and muttered to himself. Han You Stone, Crystal Toad, either one could get him into the Xuan Bing Gate. No wonder those cultivators were so excited. However, that Crystal Toad was already a fourth-order demon beast, something he couldn't even dream of coveting.

However, he thought again, since there were already thousands of scattered cultivators gathered near the lake, it must be a mix of dragons and snakes. He didn't have to worry about anyone deliberately picking on him. Among them were many cultivators in the late stage of Qi refinement, masters who had reached the peak, witnessing the power of the fourth-order monster beasts, such a scene, if missed, would be a pity. Moreover, treasures are limited, once they appear, they will most likely be robbed. He mixed in among them and fished in troubled waters, maybe he could pick up some bargains.

Lu Xia Tian's heart moved, and he followed the direction of the group of cultivators.

Along the way, Lu Xiaoteng encountered several groups of people. Every time, Lu Xiaoteng gripped his spiritual sword, ready to flee at any moment. One or two groups of people glanced suspiciously at Lu Xiaoteng, but they just swept past and didn't show any signs of wanting to fight. Instead, they rushed in one direction. Lu Xiaoteng breathed a sigh of relief. In this place where good and evil are mixed, he did feel like his life was hanging by a thread as a lone individual.

After traveling about a hundred or so miles, passing through a forest of towering trees and a small valley, they suddenly emerged into an open space. A humid breeze carrying a strong essence of water spirit blew towards them, invigorating Lu Xia Tian's spirit.

All around were cultivators, densely packed. There were far more than the one-eyed giant had said before. There were probably close to three thousand people.

Hey! A sharp bird call.

"Flying Peng Elder!"

Suddenly, the cultivators below exclaimed in astonishment.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu XiaTian looked up and saw a yellow peng bird with wings spanning over three zhang, circling above him. Even from dozens of zhang away, he could feel the wind blowing on his head. The spiritual pressure coming from the air made his heart tremble. Not only was this cultivator known as Fei Peng Lao Shou, but also the yellow peng beneath him. I'm afraid it has already reached the peak of the third-order spirit beast.

“Feipeng Old Monster, you have always stayed within your abode. How can you now shamelessly compete with us for the spirit artifact” A young man in blue robes shouted loudly.

“This young punk doesn't know which family he comes from, daring to question Elder Fei Peng. Could it be that he's looking for death” A middle-aged man beside him whispered softly.

“You know, that’s the young master of the Liao family. He usually walks around in Wangyue City with his head held high. Although Fei Peng Lao Su is capable, he's not invincible at the Nascent Soul stage. There are quite a few masters at the peak of the Core Formation stage here, but none as ostentatious as Fei Peng Lao Su. It seems this battle for the spiritual object has become even more unpredictable.” Another short and stout man argued.

“Who doesn’t know that old Fei Peng is known for his eccentric personality He wouldn't care about family lineage or not.” The middle-aged man snorted.

"You're courting death! I, the old man of Wangu Mountain Range, come when I say so and leave when I say so. Do I need to greet you" As if confirming the middle-aged man's words, the old man on Huangpeng above reached out with his hand and swept it across the air, unleashing a massive gust of wind that descended from the sky.

Lu Xiaoteng's luck wasn't good. He was standing not far from the young man in blue, and felt the gust of wind strike him, causing his footing to become unsteady. The young man in blue at the forefront hurriedly cast a talisman to raise a shield, but the shield shattered instantly under the onslaught of the wind. The young man's face turned pale with fear, his forehead turning blue, a sign that he was about to spit blood.

Lu Xia Tian was taken aback. This Flying Peng old man was actually so powerful. The young man in blue had already reached the fourth layer of Qi refining, but with a single blow from the Flying Peng old man, he was left groaning in pain. It was simply too powerful. Originally, Lu Xia Tian thought that he, after killing several people, also had some skills. Now, seeing the Flying Peng old man's move, he realized that he was just a frog at the bottom of a well. Compared to these Qi Refining Perfection masters, the gap was still quite large. I'm afraid it would take at least until the later stage before he could compete with these masters.

As that middle-aged man said, this rash young man in blue is going to get a taste of his own medicine.

"Lord, you have practiced for many years, is it impressive to bully a latecomer" Behind that blue-clad youth, a dignified and sturdy voice came, only to see a broad-browed middle-aged man walk out step by step. With a wide sleeve wave, he struck a gust of wind.

The air crackled and roared like thunder in the distance.

“As for who I am, it’s none other than the head of the Liao family. No wonder these youngsters are so arrogant. However, I’m not here to pick a fight with you today. If you have the guts, let’s settle this after we’ve dealt with the current matter!” The old man Fei Peng laughed strangely. The great peng circled in the air before landing on a giant stone by the small lake several dozen feet away. Old Man Fei Peng then jumped down.”

Lu Xia Tian glanced around the small lake. A large number of cultivators had gathered, with dozens of Qi Refining Grand Perfection masters like Lao Shou Fei Peng. Just now, they were holding a spectator's attitude, watching Lao Shou Fei Peng and the Liao family clash, but without a fight breaking out, some people were quite disappointed.

Almost every Qi Refinement Grand Perfection expert has dozens of cultivators behind them, and some powerful and imposing families even have hundreds. The Liao family that just now was also one of the refining weapon families in望月城, with considerable strength. However, their luck wasn't good this time, and few people were able to arrive. Among these leaders, Lu Xia Tian also saw an old acquaintance, Changmei Monster, and those beside him seemed very afraid of him. It seems that he is also a formidable person.

Inside the 望月 Mountain Range, one occasionally encounters large families purging their ranks. Although there isn't any anger from scattered cultivators without power, they are helpless to do anything about it. However, while there are many masters present, the scattered cultivators of mixed abilities far outnumber them. No single faction or even two factions can be said to have control over the situation. Lu Xiaottian thought to himself, there is a possibility to fish in troubled waters after all.Lu Xiaottian and Mingcheng blurted out simultaneously. Even if they reached the Golden Immortal Realm, as long as their souls were not destroyed, consuming this fruit would allow them to recover withi...
