Chapter 52 – Tianqu Mountain Demon Beast Tide, the unlucky Ye Xiao!

With one foot on the corpse of a ferocious tiger and a sword larger than herself on her shoulder, Cen Yiren snorted coldly, “A mere cat, how dare you stand in the way of your grandmother?”

“……”

Shu Shi shook his head.

Sure enough, she still the same.

“Compared to it, it’s still Senior Sister Cen who is more like a tiger.”

“Hmph, that’s of course …… wait, are you insinuating me?”

Suddenly, a low, suppressed growl sounded in her ears.

“Did you hear that just now?”

The two people looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a dense forest illuminated with intense red light, and a pack of ferocious tigers slowly stepped out of the darkness, their fishy saliva dripping on the ground.

Those blood-red eyes were wild with killing intent!

Cen Yiren gulped and quietly withdrew her foot from stepping on the tiger’s corpse.

“Shu Shi, what should we do now?”

“What else can we do …… run!”

Shu Shi lifted Cen Yiren and flew away.

“Roar!”

The sound of a roar was deafening, the tigers surged after them like a tidal wave, the trees fell to pieces, raising dust that covered the sky!

“Aren’t demon tigers solitary? How can they be in a pack!”

Feeling a gust of fishy wind behind him, Shu Shi’s brows jumped wildly.

It seemed that the demon beasts here had also become less normal due to the influence of the ancient emperor’s legacy.

Although the tiger demons weren’t very powerful, The both of them would be overwhelmed if there were too many of them, so there was no need to waste time on them.

Shu Shi’s gaze swept around and darted towards the interior of the dense forest.

……

A dense forest.

A group of people carefully crossed the forest.

They were none other than Tianyi Sect disciples.

They were dressed in rags and looked tired, and some of them were already covered in the color of blood.

The sky above Tianqu Mountain was a forbidden area, with a large number of thunderbirds circling around it, almost every one of them comparable in strength to cultivators from the Golden Elixir Realm.

Only the forest was the safest.

“That was close, I was almost caught by that tiger demon.”

“This Tianqu Mountain is truly the most dangerous place in the Northern Region!”

“If only I could travel with Chief Zhan and Imperial Censor Chen.”

“Imperial Censor Chen? Have you forgotten how she spoke for Shu Shi last night?”

“Hmph, in my opinion, there must be a hidden connection between her and that demon!”

“I also heard that she was actually with Shu Shi during the days she disappeared ……”

“Seriously?”

Rumble.

Just at that moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.

They looked back in confusion, only to see smoke and dust rolling in the distance, as if an earthen dragon was sweeping towards the area.

“What happened? An earthquake?”

“It looks like Shu Shi!”

They only saw Shu Shi with Cen Yiren in his arms, and speeding towards them.

They hurriedly took out their weapons and looked on guard.

However, Shu Shi didn’t even see them and swept straight past.

They couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

This demon didn’t come for them?

Just then ……

“”Roaar!!!””

Only to see that within the flying dust, countless tiger demons ran wildly towards this place, with a terrifying aura that made people’s hearts tremble!

“Damn it! Run!”

“It’s a tiger pack!”

“That demon must have done it on purpose!”

The people couldn’t think too hard, turned around and ran with a huff.

The loud noise here attracted more demon beasts, which surprisingly gathered into a wave of beasts, and the dense forest was filled with flying chickens and leaping dogs, with bursts of curses.

……

Ye Xiao was alone in the forest.

In his hand was a compass with a golden needle guiding the way.

This was the Spiritual Treasure Demon Seeker Compass, which could sense demonic beasts within a radius of tens of miles.

Coincidentally, he had learned that there were foreign treasures coming out of Tianqu Mountain, so he sneaked in before the Imperial Palace closed the mountain, relying on this demon-seeking disk to dodge all the way and surprisingly arrived deep in the dense forest without any bloodshed.

“Hmph, those guys should have just entered the mountain, right?”

“Tianqu Mountain is full of crises and beasts, how difficult is it to enter the depths?”

“By the time you guys got here, I had already left with my opportunity!”

Ye Xiao smiled with satisfaction.

He touched the scar on his chest and a trace of cynicism flashed in his eyes.

“Shu Shi!”

“When I get this ancient emperor’s inheritance, I will settle things with you properly!”

At the beginning in Yulin City, Shu Shi had left a huge psychological shadow on him.

Especially the sword that pierced through his chest, which almost took his life!

“Holy-grade perfect genius?”

“So what!”

“I am the Son of Dao destined by the heavens, and one day you will be my stepping stone!”

Just then, the compass suddenly shook violently, almost slipping out of his hand as the golden needle spun for some time and pointed violently behind him!

Ye Xiao frowned, “What on earth is going on ……”

At this moment, he heard a thunderous and terrifying roar from behind.

His body stiffened and he slowly turned around to look.

He saw a group of people running wildly towards him, and behind them, amidst the smoke and dust, countless beasts rushed in like a tidal wave!

Snap.

The compass fell to the ground.

Ye Xiao’s eyes froze and he gulped.

“Damn!”

“I’ve been hiding for two days to avoid danger, who attracted the tide of beasts here!”

Ye Xiao’s eyes turned red as he turned around and scattered his feet, joining the troops fleeing for his life.

……

He didn’t know how long it took, but the roar gradually faded away.

Shu Shi released his footsteps and a burst of white vapor billowed from his body.

As the Heavenly Sutra continued to operate, his spiritual energy seemed endless, and he raged like a bulldozer all the way, arriving deep into the dense forest in just half an hour.

“There are too many beasts in this Tianqu Mountain, luckily I run fast.”

“You, can you drop me off now?”

Cen Yiren’s faint voice sounded in his ears.

“Hmm?”

Shu Shi looked down.

Only to see Cen Yiren squeezed in his arms, and his hand ……

“Cough.”

Shu Shi’s face turned red and he hurriedly released her, “Sorry, the situation is urgent, I didn’t think too much about it, I really didn’t mean to do it this time.”

No wonder she was so easy to grasp all the way!

The greater the mass, the greater the pulling force is, Newton didn’t deceive me!

Cen Yiren’s legs and feet were slightly limp, her cheeks were red as blood, and he whispered, “If you dare to do it again, I will cut off your hands!”

“That’s all?”

Shu Shi scratched his head.

She wasn’t angry?

That was not like her character.

The two of them continued to walk towards the place where the golden light was.

Cen Yiren followed him, her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly, Shu Shi’s footsteps stopped.

She almost bumped into him.

Dazed, she looked up and saw a huge stone monument not far in front of her, tens of meters high, with dense and mysterious inscriptions engraved on it.

The pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth came from the monument.

And in the open space in front of the monument, several figures faced each other.

Two of them were dressed in white and one in green.

It was none other than Chen Qingluan and Zhan Qingchen!
