#1049 - Chapter 1049 He is behind - Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

Ye Kong extended two fingers, conjuring a wisp of golden light that he attached to the Invisibility Cloak. This would mask Xing Yueyao's scent, preventing the savage beasts from detecting her.

Then, Ye Kong's figure flashed as he flew in another direction, drawing all the savage beasts away. With the Invisibility Cloak providing cover, Xing Yueyao seized the opportunity and flew towards the exit.

Meanwhile, on Ye Kong's side, lightning flashed and dark clouds roiled. The dark, inky clouds, laden with monstrous miasma, formed an all-encompassing sea of darkness, sealing off the sky for miles around.

"Creak~ Creak~"

"Roar~~~~"

The cries of numerous savage beasts echoed as they swarmed Ye Kong. All their eyes were fixed on him, teeth bared, revealing their ravenous hunger.

The terrifying killing intent was enough to make anyone tremble in fear, but Ye Kong's eyes showed no dread, not even a hint of timidity.

A smirk tugged at the corner of Ye Kong's lips, a devilish smile that inexplicably made the savage beasts wary, hesitant to approach.

"So much meat, it should be enough for my disciples to eat."

Ye Kong's casual remark stunned the beasts.

What did he just say!

"Whoosh!"

Ye Kong shot forward like lightning. Before the savage beast in front of him could react, Ye Kong's right arm swung up violently, delivering a devastating punch.

The fist tore through the air with incredible speed and brute force, generating a whooshing sound as if it were about to ignite.

"Bang!" With a single punch, Ye Kong caused its head to explode in a shower of gore.

Faced with such an onslaught, Ye Kong didn't retreat. Instead, he swiftly formed a sword incantation, and amidst the flashing spiritual light in his hand, the Crimson Sky Sword materialized.

Ye Kong roared, and his sword intent surged. The Crimson Sky Sword spun rapidly, and a powerful sword aura condensed around Ye Kong, forming several streams of sword energy in all directions. As the savage beasts lunged at Ye Kong, he forcefully pointed out the sword incantation.

"Swoosh swoosh~"

In that chaotic and dim expanse, several cold gleams streaked across the sky in half-moon arcs. As the sound of tearing air faded, a shower of blood splattered, and the dim area returned to its previous silence.

"Swoosh!" The Crimson Sky Sword, stained with fresh blood, flew back into Ye Kong's hand. He stood in the void, hands clasped behind his back, expressionless as he surveyed the fallen savage beasts, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as ever, only tinged with a hint of bloodlust.

"Pathetic," Ye Kong said coldly, then flew towards the exit with his spoils.

Xing Yueyao exited the Savage Beast Forbidden Land, but because she was wearing Ye Kong's Invisibility Cloak, no one noticed her.

When Xing Yueyao saw Xing Chenlan collapsed and unconscious, she immediately took off the Invisibility Cloak and rushed towards him.

"Wah!" Startled by the sudden appearance of a person, Bai Wuchen jumped back and cried out.

Realizing that she had frightened others, Xing Yueyao bowed her head slightly to express her apologies.

Everyone recognized Xing Yueyao and knew that she was Xing Chenlan's older sister, so they didn't say anything and nodded politely to show that it was okay.

"What happened to Xiaolan?" Xing Yueyao anxiously asked those around her, seeing Xing Chenlan still unconscious.

"Junior Brother is just unconscious, but we don't know what happened. We can't do anything, so we can only wait for Master to come out," Lin Yaoyao replied.

"Peak Lord Ye and I encountered a horde of savage beasts on the way. Peak Lord Ye told me to come out first so as not to delay things, and he stayed behind to deal with the savage beasts," Xing Yueyao also explained what had happened in the Savage Beast Forbidden Land.

"Rumble~~~~~"

Just as everyone was worried, the alarm bell hanging at the exit rang.

"There isn't much time left!" Mu Qianqian knew what the sound meant and couldn't help but feel nervous. Not only Mu Qianqian, but the other disciples of the Carefree Peak also had their hearts in their throats.

"Hahahaha, it seems that Ye Kong will have no chance of escaping this time." Xiao Wu, the Peak Lord of Martial Arts Peak who had come out early, laughed wildly when he heard that Ye Kong had not yet come out, as if he had forgotten that many of his own disciples had not come out.

Xiao Wu's voice was loud, and not only the Carefree Peak but also people from other sects heard it clearly.

Chen Haoran clenched his fists, and the friction between his knuckles made a "creak" sound. The veins on his hands bulged, as if his fists were about to strike at any moment. Besides Chen Haoran, the other disciples of the Carefree Peak glared angrily at the people of Martial Arts Peak, as if the two factions were about to fight in the next second.

"Peak Lord Xiao is in a good mood. You brought so few disciples. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that the people from your Martial Arts Peak couldn't get out of the Savage Beast Forbidden Land," Xing Yueyao said sarcastically, word by word.

Her voice was so pleasant that the entire gathering crowd fell silent, wanting only to listen to this heart-stirring voice.

Being ridiculed by such a beautiful girl, Xiao Wu's proud old face could no longer hold on, and he just snorted in dissatisfaction and said nothing more.

Seeing the exit gradually shrinking and about to disappear, but Ye Kong had not yet come out, even Ye Ling, who was usually the most calm, had a look of worry in her eyes.

Ye Ling knew when the exit would disappear, but it was obviously too late now. Ye Ling stretched out her hands, and spiritual essence flowed in her hands, turning into rays of light, desperately propping up the closing exit to buy time for Ye Kong.

"Lord Ling is using spiritual essence!"

"That's right, why would Lord Ling use spiritual essence to stop the exit from closing?"

"If Lord Ling does this, not only her body and mind but also her lifespan will be greatly affected!"

"That's right, it's really not worth it for Lord Ling to do this!"

...

The surrounding noisy voices rang out, mostly in shock at why Ye Ling would expend her spiritual essence to prevent the exit from closing, but only the disciples of the Carefree Peak probably knew why.

"Hey! Look quickly, Master is out," Bai Wuchen shouted excitedly, and the other disciples also saw that familiar face.

"Master!" The disciples surrounded him.

Ye Kong successfully came out and saw that his disciples' eyes were red and they looked aggrieved.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Kong was completely unaware of how much expectation they had placed on him.

Seeing that Ye Kong had successfully come out, Ye Ling stopped casting her spell, and her own spiritual essence was also depleted a lot.

"Master, Xing Chenlan was injured somehow and has been unconscious. Master, please take a look!"
