Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 83: Danger

At the foot of the mountain, the bronze tower ship had already landed.

At the bottom of the ship, a glowing portal slowly opened, and hundreds of disciples dressed in black robes from the Palace of Calamitous Fate filed out in formation. Behind them were nearly a hundred elders with dignified appearances and majestic presence, followed by more than thirty core disciples dressed in flowing white robes, exuding an ethereal and Daoist aura.

After disembarking, they lined up neatly at the foot of the mountain and waited for a while. It was only then that Dao Chu Mei Qingfeng, accompanied by several Supreme Elders, walked out slowly. She was dressed in a gorgeous deep blue gown, with a light veil covering her face, concealing her breathtaking beauty. The mysterious and profound aura made all the disciples present instinctively hold their breath.

In Mei Qingfeng's delicate hands, she held a simple and ancient bronze formation plate. Faint purple light lingered on the mottled plate, and there seemed to be flames burning on it, emitting a terrifying aura of destruction.

Mei Qingfeng surveyed her surroundings, her vermilion lips slightly parted, and her melodious and pleasant voice rang out, "After the joint deduction of the Supreme Elders, we are already seventy to eighty percent certain that the legendary Heavenly Medicine will appear in the depths of the Weak Water Galaxy. This treasure is of great importance and belongs to our Palace of Calamitous Fate."

The disciples and elders around her responded with a resounding agreement. In their understanding, the Palace of Calamitous Fate was already the foremost Supreme lineage in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. How could such a treasure fall into the hands of outsiders?

"Alright, let's go up the mountain now," Mei Qingfeng continued, "The Heavenly Medicine should be at the summit of this sacred mountain. We must act quickly and seize the opportunity ahead of the other lineages. No matter the cost, there must be no hesitation or retreat. Otherwise, our sect's rules will show no mercy!"

At this moment, on the other side of the mountain peak.

Thousands of male and female cultivators exuding a sinister aura and murderous intent were already prepared. Led by several outstanding seed disciples, they began to climb the mountain.

"...Those guys from the Palace of Calamitous Fate actually made a move too? It seems that there really is something extraordinary on this sacred mountain!" The leader, a young man dressed in feathered robes and a jade crown, clapped his folding fan and smiled ambiguously. "Moreover, all those old friends have come without exception. They must not have planned to return empty-handed. I wonder how many people from each faction will survive after this?"

A woman with sharp eyes and blood shadows flickering around her coldly said, "When it comes to competing for opportunities, our Secret Demon Gate has never been afraid of anyone. Whoever dares to stand in our way will be killed!"

Everyone agreed with her. People from the Demon Gate had always been unruly and fearless. When faced with such an extraordinary opportunity, there was no reason to show weakness or retreat. Even if the heavens themselves came, they would be pushed aside.

"Alright, everyone, form a formation and set off. The formation restrictions along this road are dangerous, so remember to support each other and proceed with caution!"

...

"Splurt—"

A bright sword light pierced through the air, and a monstrous beast with the head of a fish and the body of a bear, with wings on its back, couldn't dodge in time. Its protective blood light disintegrated inch by inch, and its massive body was split in half by the sharp sword light. Amidst the desperate roar filled with despair, the monster fell to the ground with a loud crash, and a large amount of fresh blood splattered on both sides of the mountain path.

Under the guidance of Yueyi Tianjun, Luo Huan stepped forward and took the monster's eyeballs. The parts that had little value were discarded without hesitation. After confirming that there were no more threats around, the women continued on with Qin Muling.

Along the way, Qin Muling and his senior sisters had killed many ferocious and savage spirit beasts, but the harvest was somewhat unsatisfactory. At first, they could still see the teams of other forces advancing on different paths, but soon, the thick fog obscured everything. Except for the people around them, everything within hundreds of feet became blurry.

When encountering relatively ordinary spirit beasts, Qin Muling would take the initiative to fight in order to hone his combat skills. With his current strength, he could easily kill Divine Spirit Realm spirit beasts, but Perfected Being Realm ones were relatively troublesome, and True Self Realm spirit beasts were even more difficult to deal with.

Later on, as more and more high-level exotic beasts appeared, due to the need to save time, the senior sisters no longer allowed Qin Muling to try her hand. They all joined forces to quickly resolve the situation using powerful Divine Ability spells.

"Sisters, let's take a break and set off again in half an hour."

In Qin Muling's perception, countless tiny runes, as small as mosquitoes, condensed into a thick light curtain on the gravel path in front of them, slowly sliding past them.

If they were to rush into it like this, they would definitely get trapped in this natural formation and encounter unimaginable trouble. Even if they could eventually escape, who knows how long it would take.

The women stopped their steps as instructed. Xue Bingxuan looked back and saw that the foot of the mountain had already disappeared into the dense green clouds. Looking up, the gravel path twisted and turned, and they still couldn't see the end.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Junior brother, our actions should be the fastest, right? Is it possible for us to reach the top of the Holy Mountain before the other teams?"

Qin Muling replied, "It should be possible, but the restrictions at the top of the Holy Mountain will definitely be more terrifying. It won't be an easy task to pass through smoothly."

The senior sisters also thought about it. If they were to pay a great price and finally break the restrictions, only to have other forces arrive at that moment, wouldn't they be picking the peaches for others?

"Perhaps we can..."

Just as Qi Yalan was about to speak, she shook her head and didn't continue.

But Qin Muling understood what she meant. She wanted to deliberately slow down their progress and watch the teams of those orthodox forces fight each other at the peak of the mountain. After both sides suffered heavy losses, they could take advantage of the situation.

However, it was difficult to grasp this balance. If they were even slightly careless, they might miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and leave empty-handed. If they allowed those hostile forces to benefit, the consequences would be more severe than usual.

"Let's speed up our pace!"

Yu Lingzhou said, "No matter what, let's discuss it when we reach the top of the Holy Mountain. As long as we can arrive first, we will have the initiative. We'll take it step by step then."

The senior sisters nodded in agreement. With their junior brother by their side, their luck shouldn't be too bad. If their group couldn't obtain any opportunities, it would probably be even more difficult for the teams of those forces.

Gradually, they encountered more and more exotic beasts along the way, and their ranks also increased. From the Heart Demon Realm to the Destiny Realm, from the Destiny Realm to the Immortal Transformation Realm, and finally to the Immortal Ascension Realm... Even with the senior sisters relying on their powerful Law Treasures to attack together, they had to pay the price of nearly half of their mana to deal with each wave.

Fortunately, they carried an abundant supply of holy medicines and divine resources, which they could use extravagantly. It was easy for them to replenish their consumption, so there were no problems. If it were other teams with less abundant resources, there would probably be a large number of casualties.

As they continued on their way, the mountain became steeper and more treacherous. Fierce gusts of wind swept by from time to time. In the shadows of the dense forest on both sides of the gravel path, countless eyes filled with killing intent stared at this group of foreign cultivators.

Ten li, twenty li, fifty li...

Just as Qin Muling faintly sensed the end of the path in the far distance, accompanied by a scalp-tingling rustling sound, countless ants the size of human heads, surrounded by flames, surged out from the dense forest. Their numbers covered the sky and earth as they encircled them.

There will be an update before dawn, or maybe in the morning. I will not break my promise.
