Chapter 917 A Sparrow Pecked My Eye

Not long after.

Beside a stream deep in the forest.

Mu Chen and Zhou Yuan were firmly bound to the spot, their faces bruised and swollen, showing that they had suffered extremely brutal and inhuman torture.

"Sister, these two guys have quite a few good things on them, including nine drops of Flame Dragon Essence Blood, which can be used to enhance your Xiao Cai's bloodline."

As Gu Lin spoke, he dumped all the contents of Mu Chen and Zhou Yuan's storage rings out.

Meanwhile, Mu Chen and Zhou Yuan, who were both in pain from being beaten, looked at the two robbers, a man and a woman, with expressions of despair.

You should know that the two of them accumulated so many resources by cheating, swindling, and robbing others when they were out and about.

But now, those who once lived like eagles are being shot down like sparrows.

When Cai Xiao saw the essence blood her younger brother handed her, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Flaming Dragon Essence Blood? These two guys are only at the First Grade Supreme level, yet they managed to obtain Flaming Dragon Essence Blood. Interesting."

After obtaining the Flame Dragon's essence blood, Cai Xiao slowly stood up. However, when she saw Gu Lin take out a series of various items from his storage ring, she felt that something was not quite right.

"Sister, these two are acting strangely. They have all sorts of things on them, including many tokens that only disciples from the surrounding major domains possess."

"If I'm not mistaken, those two are probably thieves who make a living by robbery and plunder."

Hearing his younger brother's words, Gu Xiao became somewhat curious about Mu Chen and Zhou Yuan.

"Robbery? I never expected that two such thieves would appear in the surrounding major regions."

"I imagine those powerful families are all looking for those two. Brother, what do you think? Should we take them to collect the reward?"

However, Gu Lin was somewhat on the verge of tears after learning about his older sister's thoughts.

"Sister, you'd better stop using your supernatural powers. Do you think our reputations are any better? In the eyes of other forces, we're no different from bandits."

"Oh? Is that so? But I don't remember doing anything too outrageous."

"Yes, we didn't kill them, but have you forgotten about how we secretly emptied the treasuries of several sects a couple of years ago?"

"Oh, that? Didn't we already apologize privately?"

"Can this kind of thing be resolved simply by a private apology?"

"Otherwise, didn't our master apologize on our behalf?"

"You wiped out half of someone's sect, and you call that an apology?"

"I understand. Next time, I'll ask Master to wipe them out directly."

"Alright, sis, you're always right. I was just being nosy."

"Hehe, that's more like it. But since we can't use them to exchange for money, if we spare their lives, won't they become a threat to us?"

"Sis, you've hit the nail on the head this time. I'm an expert at things like cremating corpses and digging pits."

"Okay, then I'll leave those two items to you. Remember to burn their souls too, so they won't be bothered by ghosts."

"Don't worry, sis, I've got it covered!" So Mu Chen and Zhou Yuan, whose heads had been beaten up, could only watch helplessly as the silver-haired youth named Gu Lin skillfully dug a hole on the hilltop with a shovel.

With every centimeter his shovel sank in, Mu Chen and Zhou Yuan felt their hearts sink.

"Brother, what do we do? It looks like we're going to be buried alive by these two bandits."

As Mu Chen watched the young man earnestly shoveling soil, he felt his heart pounding.

"What can I do?"

Zhou Yuan was also extremely desperate, after all, the girl in front of him was at least at the third-grade supreme level, while the young man was at the second-grade supreme level.

He could sense that both of the people in front of him possessed extremely powerful abilities. While it wasn't impossible for him to escape their capture, if he were to take Mu Chen with him, he would be completely doomed!
Just when they were sinking into despair, they saw several familiar figures appear in the distance.

Upon witnessing this scene, both Gu Lin and Cai Xiao felt a slight sense of unease.

They could sense that the people approaching from afar were extraordinary, and several of them were young people whose strength was no less than theirs.

"Senior Sister Luo Li, how much longer until we reach the Dragon and Phoenix Mountains? We've been traveling all day, and Sun'er wants to rest."

Ye Sun'er pouted.

As their strength advanced to the Supreme Realm and they mastered the Great Luo Golden Body, she could feel that her cultivation speed was far slower than that of her senior sisters.

Fortunately, she is proficient in formations and is now a grandmaster of formations comparable to a third-grade supreme being.

Recently, she learned about the Battle Array Master from her beloved master, Yao Yao. Before this trip, Master Fu Ye learned that she intended to become a Battle Array Master.

So they created fifty battle formation puppets for her, each with the strength of a half-step supreme realm, so that she could comprehend the mysteries of battle formation masters anytime, anywhere.

Furthermore, she can manipulate these puppets to form formations, which can be considered a fusion of formation master and battle formation master, making the power even stronger.

"After we cross these mountains, we should be able to see the Dragon and Phoenix Mountains. We'll rest once we reach Dragon and Phoenix City in the Dragon and Phoenix Mountains."

They weren't too far from Dragon Phoenix Heaven. Although Luo Li was a little tired, she decided to wait until she reached the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range in one go before taking a break.

Not long after.

Wu Yao and Su Youwei sensed a familiar aura emanating from the mountains below.

After noticing the strange expressions on their faces, Luo Li immediately signaled the group to stop.

"Wu Yao, Youwei, have you discovered something?"

Luo Li was quite puzzled, but she knew that if Wu Yao and Su Youwei showed such expressions at the same time, it meant that something must have happened.

"Yes, we sensed a very strong blood connection here, as if Mu Chen and Zhou Yuan were in this mountain range right now."

Upon hearing their words, Luo Li and the others almost instantly formed a battle formation, followed by Ye Xun'er releasing a detection array in mid-air.

As Wu Yao and Su Youwei had correctly predicted, there was indeed a protective array barrier below that concealed their presence.

"Senior Sister Luo Li, there's something going on down there. Someone's using a formation to conceal their aura. However, this formation seems to be a one-time use one, but it's definitely the work of a grandmaster of formations."

Upon hearing Ye Xun'er's affirmative reply, Luo Li and the others immediately swooped down. (End of Chapter)
