At the same time.
Nightfall Forest.
Li Tianjue and A'da floated quietly in mid-air.
The disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect mostly underwent their trials in this Nightfall Forest, and they only needed to stay here, ready to provide support at any moment.
The Nightfall Forest was about the same size as a hundred Purple Clouds, and the various levels of demonic beasts within were enough to satisfy the needs of disciples of different cultivation levels from the Purple Cloud Sect.
Fortunately, these disciples were only hunting demonic beasts at the Golden Core stage, so the area Li Tianjue and A'da needed to supervise was not that large.
They could rush to wherever danger arose at the first opportunity.
"Senior Brother, I realize now how wise your choice was."
A'da said, munching on a spiritual fruit and giving a casual compliment.
"After all, I'm just a tiny bit smarter than you, aren't I?" Li Tianjue replied smugly, thoroughly enjoying himself.
"But speaking of which, the taste of the Purple Cloud Sect's spiritual fruits has really surprised me," A'da said incredulously. "It feels like the spiritual energy contained within is almost at the level of a fourth-grade spiritual fruit!"
Although a fourth-grade spiritual fruit could not be compared to fourth-grade materials, it was still quite rare.
At least in his memory, a sect like the Purple Cloud Sect did not have the capability to cultivate such fruits.
"I heard it was Senior Brother Ye from Immortal Jade Peak who cultivated them," Li Tianjue said, glancing in the direction of the Purple Cloud Sect, his expression extremely solemn.
Over the past few days, through the accounts of these trial disciples, he had heard Senior Brother Ye's name so often it was practically ringing in his ears!
For example, Senior Brother Ye would perform rituals at night, causing celestial phenomena.
For example, Senior Brother Ye could easily vanquish all sorts of terrifying demonic beasts.
For example, Senior Brother Ye could foresee the future and strategize world affairs.
...
In short, Li Tianjue found it all incredibly bizarre. It sounded as if Senior Brother Ye was on the verge of ascending at any moment!
Of course, he didn't believe any of these tales.
However, that didn't stop him from being certain that Senior Brother Ye was absolutely powerful.
After all, those two formidable spirit beasts were Senior Brother Ye's pets!
Setting aside other things, Senior Brother Ye could definitely defeat him with ease!
He had even considered visiting Senior Brother Ye before.
Whether it was about seeking patronage or not, he just wanted to get acquainted with this young talent.
But he later gave up.
It would definitely be inappropriate to visit him so abruptly.
Of course, it wasn't because he was penniless and couldn't afford a gift.
A genius like Senior Brother Ye would surely not care about such worldly customs.
Li Tianjue simply felt that an unannounced visit would be too impolite.
At the very least, it would be appropriate to wait until they were relatively acquainted.
Soon, the spiritual fruits in their hands were finished.
A'da took out another spiritual fruit from his spatial ring.
This was his last one for the day.
He felt a bit reluctant to eat it like this.
But he couldn't resist how incredibly delicious it was...
Just as he was about to enjoy it, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around them was a little off!
A'da turned his head curiously, only to meet Li Tianjue's intense gaze.
Li Tianjue stared at A'da with piercing eyes, making him feel a bit flustered...
"Senior Brother, this is my last one." A'da quickly clutched the spiritual fruit to his chest, his face full of wariness.
"I know," Li Tianjue smiled and nodded. "But I'm all out."
"Don't try to fool me, Senior Brother!" A'da stepped back a few paces. "Don't think I don't know, you still have three!"
As he said this, A'da felt a surge of grievance.
When they were in the String Music Sect, his Senior Brother and the former Sect Master were not like this!
Back then, Li Tianjue was a stern elder who rarely smiled.
And he would never quibble with him over resources.
But after coming to the Purple Cloud Sect, his Senior Brother had changed.
He had completely turned into a sycophant!
Damn it!
Every time he spoke to True Person Ziyun, his mouth seemed to be coated in honey.
True Person Ziyun was so pleased by his flattery that he even bestowed more spiritual fruits than A'da!
Senior Brother, oh Senior Brother, I never expected you to be this kind of person!
It's so infuriating!
I wish I could be as eloquent and fawning as Senior Brother...
"Junior Brother, your cultivation is still a bit lacking. Eating too many spiritual fruits is not good for your body," Li Tianjue extended his palm, a smile on his face.
My dear Junior Brother, it's not that your Senior Brother is targeting you, it's just that we're too poor right now...
A'da looked aggrieved, tightly guarding his spiritual fruit.
Li Tianjue remained silent, still wearing a smile.
Three minutes later.
"Senior Brother, I think eating too many spiritual fruits is indeed not very good for my health." A'da finally surrendered.
It wasn't because Li Tianjue's aura was too strong, but because he couldn't defeat Li Tianjue...
Li Tianjue took the spiritual fruit with satisfaction, then disdainfully wiped it with his sleeve.
A'da: "..."
What does Senior Brother mean by that?
If you have the guts, don't eat it then!
Li Tianjue didn't eat it after all.
Because an accident had occurred in the Nightfall Forest!
Within the trial area for Golden Core stage disciples, an aura of the Nascent Soul stage suddenly emerged!
"Go!" Li Tianjue ordered and quickly flew over.
There was still a considerable distance from the territory of Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts.
Even if those Golden Core stage disciples had lost their minds, they wouldn't run to provoke Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts!
Moreover, demonic beasts had strong territorial instincts and rarely ventured beyond their own territories.
Besides, a single Nascent Soul stage demonic beast wouldn't usually go into the territory of Golden Core stage demonic beasts to cause trouble!
In the forest.
A Golden Core stage demonic beast fell powerlessly.
The Golden Core stage disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing joyful smiles.
They could clearly feel that they had made progress recently.
It wouldn't be long before they could break through their current minor realm!
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were once again filled with gratitude towards Ye Fan.
In the past, this Nightfall Forest was shared by disciples of the Nine Great Sects.
With many wolves and little meat, monster-snatching was inevitable.
The Purple Cloud Sect was weak back then, and they had their share of monster-snatching incidents during their trials.
The most frequent culprits were the damned disciples of the Azure Heaven Sect!
Now, thanks to Senior Brother Ye, the Azure Heaven Sect was finished.
Later, the other seven great sects also disbanded shamefacedly.
Now the entire Nightfall Forest was exclusively for the Purple Cloud Sect!
The Purple Cloud Sect's principle had never been about bullying the weak.
But this feeling of having the entire place to themselves...
It was truly damn satisfying!
Every demonic beast they saw was theirs, and they didn't have to worry about anyone else suddenly appearing to snatch monsters!
However, to be honest, they did feel a slight regret that no one was snatching monsters now.
Otherwise, if those two Nascent Soul stage bodyguard experts from above appeared, they would surely terrify a large crowd!
Just imagining it was exhilarating!
Just as they were happily collecting their spoils of war, a black shadow suddenly darted out from the side!
"Nascent... Nascent Soul stage!" Upon seeing the appearance of the black shadow, everyone was stunned.
However, the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast did not attack as they expected, but appeared to be very panicked.
It seemed to be...
Afraid of something...
Suddenly!
A burst of true qi descended from the sky, annihilating the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast on the spot!
"Senior!" Seeing Li Tianjue and A'da descend, everyone respectfully bowed.
Li Tianjue casually waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the direction from which the demonic beast had appeared.
He had also seen the panicked expression of the Nascent Soul stage beast earlier, and he felt that something was very wrong today! DaFeng Novel Network
Not long after, his premonition became a reality.
A tiger demon slowly walked out, lazily stretching its back.
And its cultivation had already reached the tenth level of the Soul Transformation stage!
Following behind it, two figures emerged.
An old man and a red-haired woman.
Upon seeing the old man, Li Tianjue's face instantly changed!
"Li Tianjue?" The newcomer obviously paused for a moment, then his expression became playful: "I didn't expect to run into you here, what a surprise."
"Since we've met," the true qi on the newcomer's body surged wildly, "then you shall remain here!"
