#990 - Flowing Cloud Forest

True Martial Peak, front courtyard.

Chengyuan Zhenren, Nan Jin, Yun Shu, Yi Ling, and Han Ye all wore worried expressions.

They were suddenly disheartened when Jun Wuxie said he was going to the Flowing Cloud Forest, and they couldn't dissuade him no matter how hard they tried.

"Master, for the Flowing Cloud Forest trip, just let the sect's foundation experts go. You don't need to go. Also, my departure needs to be kept secret. If the sect leader asks, just say I'm in secluded cultivation."

"Master?"

Jun Wuxie looked down at Chengyuan Zhenren's hand, which was tightly gripping his arm, and said, "Let go, disciple will be fine. You don't need to worry."

"Master, you must not secretly follow disciple. The situation in the Flowing Cloud Forest is special. It's useless even if Master goes. Although disciple's realm is low, I have my own unique methods to deal with it."

"Come back alive."

Chengyuan Zhenren finally let go, patted his shoulder, and didn't say a word more.

"I will. Master, Senior Brothers and Sisters, wait for my triumphant return."

After he finished speaking, he turned and disappeared into the mountains and forests. When leaving True Martial Peak, he used the Minor Void Technique to conceal himself and quietly left the sect.

"The burden of True Martial Peak, the burden of the sect, shouldn't be borne by Junior Brother alone. We should cultivate diligently and try to become stronger so that we can face it alongside him."

Yun Shu said softly. She had given up before, had been decadent before, but now she was full of fighting spirit. Although her body was disabled, her will was not.

Even with a disabled body, she hoped that she could do something as much as possible, instead of leaving everything for Junior Brother to face alone.

"Yes, we must improve our realm as soon as possible and make breakthroughs!"

Nan Jin, Yi Ling, and Han Ye's eyes all burned with a fighting spirit they had never had before.

They returned to their respective rooms and entered cultivation.

Chengyuan Zhenren still stood in the front courtyard, silently watching the direction Jun Wuxie left.

It was as if that figure was always in his eyes.

As a master, he couldn't cope with the crisis of True Martial Peak and the sect, and watched his youngest disciple enter a dangerous situation, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

"This master must also make a breakthrough as soon as possible and cultivate the complete technique. I hope that by then I can break through to the Great Saint realm..."

He muttered to himself, then turned and disappeared into the front courtyard.

......

Flowing Cloud City was still as prosperous as ever, but the power structure in the city had changed.

The former Yuan family mansion was now in ruins. The astonishing building area, and the dust-covered but still faintly visible carved beams and painted pillars, seemed to be telling people about its former glory.

"If you hadn't been so greedy at the time, and hadn't schemed against me, how could you have ended up in such a state now."

He stood in front of the Yuan family ruins for a moment. It was already desolate here, and no one could be seen for a long distance around.

As he turned and walked out of the city, a figure quietly walked out from behind a wall that had collapsed for the most part inside the Yuan family ruins.

It was a middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes. Staring at his departing back, his eyes were filled with deep resentment and hatred.

"I've been waiting for several months, and I've finally waited for you! The hatred of my Yuan family's extermination will be settled with you today!"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, a ridge bulged on his face, and his hands hanging at his waist clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.

He quickly followed him out of the city.

Outside the city, Jun Wuxie headed towards the Flowing Cloud Forest.

When approaching the forest, he suddenly stopped and turned to look into the distance.

"Boy, your perception is quite strong, but it's a pity you discovered it too late!"

The middle-aged man walked out of the forest, his cold eyes burning with the fire of hatred. The robes on his body fluttered, and his true energy was released, forming a cloud-like scene around his body.

He walked towards Jun Wuxie step by step, the true energy cloud sea surging, and countless sword energies rushed out from inside, clanging in the air. The sharp sword intent covered this area, like a gale sweeping across, breaking large swaths of vegetation.

"Cloud Sea Sword Intent, you cultivate the Cloud Sea Sword Art, are you from Cloud Sea Peak?"

Jun Wuxie had already discovered this person. He had discovered him at the Yuan family ruins, but he had ignored him at the time.

He had already guessed the identity of this person.

A person from Cloud Sea Peak, appearing in Flowing Cloud City, and having such deep hatred for him, besides Yuan Ye, the deacon of the Yuan family in Qingyun, there would be no one else.

"You killed the high-level members of my Yuan family and caused the destruction of my Yuan family. Today, I will let you taste the most cruel way to die in this world!"

Yuan Ye strode towards Jun Wuxie, wrapped in the sea of true energy clouds, sword energy soaring into the sky, and his power was astonishing.

Wherever he passed, all the vegetation and bluestone were cracked, a mess.

"Your Yuan family wanted to kill me first."

Jun Wuxie looked calmly at Yuan Ye who was walking over. Presumably, this was the only direct descendant of the Yuan family who was still alive.

"So what? My Yuan family wanted to kill you, but it was for the future of the family. What's wrong with that? But you caused the destruction of my Yuan family. This blood feud will be settled with you today!"

Yuan Ye's killing intent was boiling, and his words were quite arrogant and domineering.

"So, in your opinion, the law of the jungle is a matter of course. Then what's wrong with me killing the high-level members of your Yuan family?"

Jun Wuxie smiled, his eyes changing from calm to somewhat cold.

"Bastard!"

Yuan Ye's pace suddenly accelerated. He shook his arms, the true energy cloud sea boiling, like a wave wall rolling into the sky, and then pushed forward with both hands.

Countless sword energies fiercely rushed and killed.

"Overestimating yourself."

Jun Wuxie stepped forward to meet him, and crystal red blood energy flowed on the surface of his body.

All the sword energies rushed and killed to half a meter in front of him, and all collapsed in an instant.

He seemed to be strolling in a leisurely manner, withstanding the killing of ten thousand swords, and approached him step by step in Yuan Ye's horrified and angry gaze.

Until Jun Wuxie stood in front of him, he was still releasing sword energy to kill.

However, those sword energies were all shattered into light rain by the red crystal blood energy.

He was horrified in his heart, and flew back, trying to distance himself.

At this moment, a blood-entwined palm stretched over in an instant, so fast that he couldn't react.

He had no chance to distance himself anymore, and only felt a tightening in his neck, and his neck was locked by the diamond iron tongs-like palm fingers. The whole person was lifted up, the true energy could not run smoothly, the momentum was vented, the true energy cloud sea dissipated, and the sword energy collapsed.

"The most important thing in being a person is to have self-knowledge. The Yuan family elders joined forces and could hardly walk out of a round in front of me. What makes you think that you can kill me with your weak strength that is not even in the Holy King realm?"

Jun Wuxie looked at him indifferently, and the ruthless words deeply drew on Yuan Ye's heart full of hatred and fear, and made a hysterical roar: "I am the deacon of Qingyun, Qingyun will not let you go! You will surely die without a burial place!"

"Deacon?" Jun Wuxie sneered: "Even the elders of Qingyun dare not talk to me like this, you are just a deacon."

"You... arrogant!" Yuan Ye was shocked and angry, and roared: "You frog in the well, how do you know the power of Qingyun, my Qingyun has a large number of semi-Great Sage realm foundations, and a semi-Great Sage realm head teacher, a finger can poke you to death! You quickly let me go, otherwise you will regret your stupid behavior!"

"Is that so? It seems you have a lot of confidence in your reliance. Well, I won't kill you for the time being, and then let you see your head teacher, to see if he can save your life."

"Hahaha!"

When Yuan Ye heard such words, he grinned immediately: "You have the guts to do what you say! Then see how you die!"

Jun Wuxie carried Yuan Ye to a remote place, sealed his true energy, and then engraved runes to seal him deep in the earth, and said: "You will get your wish to see the head teacher."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"When I see the head teacher, you will surely die without a whole body!"

Yuan Ye roared in the rune array deep in the earth, his face was grim, and he sneered.

He originally thought he was dead today, but he didn't expect that the kid was so arrogant. In his opinion, this kind of behavior was extremely stupid, and he dared to let him see the head teacher.

He had already begun to imagine when he saw the head teacher, the kid was suppressed on the ground, his face full of fear, full of despair, and he was extremely excited when he thought of such a picture.

......

Entering the Flowing Cloud Forest, the aura of beasts here was more intense than when he came last time.

His divine sense spread out, perceiving everything within a certain area.

He found that the density of beasts and birds in the edge area of the forest had increased a lot.

Obviously, the ancient beasts and fierce birds living in the slightly inner area of the forest had all run to the edge area.

There must be an alarming number of Holy King realm ancient beasts and fierce birds gathered inside, which caused the ancient beasts and fierce birds below the Holy King realm to be frightened and leave their territory.

He went deep all the way, and from time to time he would come to the high altitude to look out at the deepest part of the forest.

However, the Flowing Cloud Forest has a vast area, with countless mountains and ridges, overlapping layers, and it is impossible to tell where is the core area of the forest.

However, according to the realm of the ancient beasts and fierce birds hidden in the forest, he can still roughly infer where he is located in the forest.

"The ancient beasts and fierce birds equivalent to the Small Heavenly Position of the Holy King realm have begun to appear in front. It is estimated that it should be close to the central area..."

After half a day of delving, he made a speculation based on the situation.

To his disappointment, he looked at the vast forest in front of him, but did not find a natural environment that could be used.

There are Holy Spirit Earth Veins under the earth here, but the grade is relatively low, and it is useless to him.

"I don't know if there will be higher-grade Holy Spirit Earth Veins if I continue to go deeper. If there are, I can use them..."

He thought to himself, the talisman master is undoubtedly the person who can best use the natural environment, especially in a special environment.

However, his Dao of符境界 has remained at the peak of the tenth realm Spirit符 Master, unable to break through to the Saint符 Master realm.

Mainly because time is too tight. In recent days, he has been cultivating his physical body and has no time to comprehend the Saint realm's Dao of符, resulting in stagnation in his Dao of符境界.

For a Spirit符 Master, using the environment to defend against enemies or as a means of assistance is not an easy task. It may take a lot of time to prepare.

After all, he has to deal with powerhouses above the Saint King realm, not those below the Saint King realm.

Every time he goes deeper, he will come to the high altitude to observe the situation ahead.

The ancient beasts and fierce birds here are of considerable realm, with a wide range of perception. Without using Void Technique, he has to be careful.

Just as he was observing the environment again, a black dot cut through the sky in the distance, coming quickly.

"Yo!"

The black dot made a sharp and fierce cry, and its speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived here, flapping its iron-like wings and swooping down, its sharp claws flashing with a cold, dark light.

Jun Wuxie dodged with a horizontal movement and quickly landed in the mountains and forests.

He didn't want to fight this fierce bird in the air, as that would be too conspicuous.

In this Flowing Cloud Forest, the closer you get to the depths, the more likely there are powerhouses from Ning Wangfu lurking.

Because Ning Wang will definitely send people to pay attention to the changes in the depths of the Flowing Cloud Forest around the clock.

The fierce bird missed its strike and hovered in the low sky. Its wings spread out for more than ten meters, and its sharp eyes stared fiercely at Jun Wuxie.

Jun Wuxie stood in the mountain forest and looked at it. It was an eagle with iron-gray feathers, as if cast from black iron, full of strength.

Its claws were very large, flashing with the luster of metal plates, curved, like large hooks.

"Leave quickly, I don't want to kill you!"

Jun Wuxie said coldly. He knew that these cultivated fierce birds could understand human language.

It's not that they know human language, but that practitioners can understand the meaning expressed by the other party based on the divine sense fluctuations when speaking.

Hearing such words, the black eagle not only did not leave, but its sharp eagle eyes showed disdain and ridicule, very human-like, no different from human eyes.

The next moment, the black eagle screamed, shaking the surroundings. Its huge body swooped down violently, causing a large area to be like a tornado.

Within a radius of a thousand meters, the air waves rolled and impacted, destroying many trees, and fallen leaves rolled into the sky, with flying sand and rocks.

Its speed was extremely fast, arriving in an instant. Its iron hook-like eagle claws grabbed at him fiercely.

"Since you are here to give me resources, I will accept them with a smile!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes instantly turned cold. In a flash of lightning, he avoided the iron hook-like eagle claws, reached out and locked the black eagle's ankle. The Taiji Star Sea and Originator Soldier Dissection were activated together, and the Dou Character Secret effect was triggered.

With a bang.

The black eagle was forcibly dragged down from its flying state by him, and slammed **** on the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently, smashing out a shallow pit, and dust soaring into the sky.

The black eagle struggled to fight back, but Jun Wuxie slammed his arm up and swung the black eagle's body up, smashing it down again.

Boom!

This time, the black eagle's body was smashed on a mountain, causing the mountain to shake violently, and the black iron-like feathers on its body fell and fluttered.

Immediately afterwards, it was once again swung up and smashed into the mountain.

In an instant, more than a dozen smashes caused its whole body to crack, its brain dizzy, unable to carry out effective counterattacks, and even had no room to fight back.

Losing the opportunity to be suppressed, it had no chance and was beaten down.

Poof!

A wisp of scarlet finger light, containing incomparably sharp soldier intent, pierced through the black eagle's head. It let out a sharp scream, its wings fluttered a few times, and it stopped moving. A large amount of blood flowed out of its head, staining the soil and rocks red.

"A fierce bird of the Saint King Realm's Lesser Celestial Position. Although its bloodline is not strong, it is equivalent to an Eternal King. This beast core is just right for cultivation, and its effect is stronger than the Elementary Living Hundred Herb Liquid."

Jun Wuxie looked at the black eagle's corpse in front of him and began to dig out the beast core.
