558: Chapter 399 558: Chapter 399 Yan Weiwei’s family wanted to keep them for dinner and, if possible, have her stay for a few days,
Yan Weiwei glanced at Jiang Tang and Ye Tian with a troubled expression, worrying not to delay their time.
“Senior Sister, it’s fine, since you’ve come home, let’s stay here for a day and a night, and we can also treat the villagers to a meal.”
Jiang Tang spoke so considerately, fully understanding Yan Weiwei’s desire to be with her family and spend time with them.
His own family had turned into ghosts, still visible beside him at any moment.
“This…
It won’t delay your journey, will it?”
Yan Weiwei naturally wanted to spend time with her family, and the thought of hosting a lavish banquet, which could cost a lot of money, she knew these people were not short of money, and their time was extremely precious.
“Weiwei, just listen to Jiang Tang, we’ll take care of the feast.”
Ye Tian followed with considerate words.
At Jiang Tang’s command, the hundreds of people in the sky began to bustle about, searching for meat.
As such formidable cultivators, they didn’t need to buy meat in the market; one spell in the mountains could bring down ordinary animals for them.
But as cultivators accustomed to food infused with spiritual energy, ordinary fare hardly caught their eye, so they embarked on a hunting expedition.
Luo Yaxuan and his brothers flew into the deep mountains within the Cultivation World, where demonic beasts resided.
The several hundred of them did not split up, as this was to prevent scattering and becoming vulnerable outside; the highest among these human cultivators was at the Nascent Soul Stage, while the lowest was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
For the sake of efficiency, they arrived at a deep mountain area, where the work of the hundreds was remarkably effective.
Using their own spells, they quickly located the hiding spots of the demonic beasts.
First, second, the demonic beasts had nowhere to escape; even third-grade demonic beasts, facing cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, might stand a chance to flee or fight.
Never before had so many high-grade cultivators come together in one place; groups of demonic beasts felt the crisis, trembling in their caves at the sound of their hunted kin’s desperate cries, not daring to move, only waiting for misfortune to come.
Those unwilling to wait for death and wanting to fight with the humans died even faster.
With a wave of the cultivators’ hands, streaks of light flashed by, and their hands did not come back empty; the hunted demonic beasts were stored in their storage bags.
They felt that by doing more now, they could eat for a long time in the future.
Arriving in this nameless deep mountain, it was a place where some brighter disciples from the Cultivation World dared not to undertake missions.
In this deep mountain, normal demonic beasts reigned over their territories, with third and fourth-grade beasts already considered kings.
Ordinary cultivators who came here might hunt for first- or second-grade demonic beasts.
Leopards, tigers, wolves – these high-grade demonic beasts wouldn’t bother with common prey, and even slightly stronger cultivators would not dare to hunt them.
But today, they faced so many high-level cultivators, who usually disdained to go on such missions; however, commanded to hunt demonic beasts today, the beasts were doomed.
In a cave in this deep mountain, a male and a female cultivator heard the commotion and stealthily probed with their divine sense.
They sensed an overpowering presence of high-grade cultivators, who usually camouflaged their qi with spells and skills to avoid attracting the attention of the mountain’s demonic beasts.
Still, they needed to eat and would discreetly hunt smaller animals, staying vigilant against attacks from larger beasts.
The male held his breath in fear upon seeing the skilled cultivators.
The woman seemed to recognize some of the hundreds of equally skilled cultivators; two felt familiar, but they were too far away; she only sensed their familiar qi, not daring or having the face to go out and look.
Among the hundreds of cultivators, Bi Renchuan, Fan Dingding, Lai Jianlin were swiftly collecting their spoils of battle.
They had no idea there were familiar people in these mountains.
Lai Jianlin only knew that several women had been poisoned in the Boundless Forest, including an acquaintance who had been captured.
Yet he felt no affection for that woman and did not think she was worth saving; it wasn’t that he was cold-hearted – cultivation was inherently a defiance of natural order, a clash where only the victor thrives, especially disadvantageous for women.
That woman had been disrespectful and arrogant towards Ding Ling, lacking ability; a person of such poor character was unworthy of sympathy from a man of a first-class family.
People who are pitiable usually have loathsome traits.
Neither Bi Renchuan nor Fan Dingding could have imagined that they would escape that man’s evil grasp, and that the man would leave the Boundless Forest with that woman – or that they would appear here.
Bian Shasha sensed the familiar qi, assuming it belonged to sect brothers and sisters; if they encountered lower-level cultivators, she and the man beside her might bully them, an act she had committed more than once.
Since residing in the Boundless Forest for a few days, dual cultivation indeed improved both their cultivations – Bian Shasha advanced by one level, and having a man with poisonous skill by her side.
She encouraged the man to venture outside with her for a challenge.
Committing too many evil deeds, they dared only to sneak around at Bian Shasha’s suggestion, robbing cultivators who were alone.
Bian Shasha had encountered recognized and unrecognized fellow sect members, both men and women; not only did they rob them, but also committed murder for profit.
Fearing pursuit, they fled to this deep forest, digging a hideout for themselves.
While digging their hole, they discovered high-grade demonic beasts in the forest.
The man relied on his poisonous skills and knowledge of formations to keep the beasts at bay, allowing them to survive for several days; when hungry, they would stealthily capture lesser demonic beasts to consume.
