The mist gradually thinned, and the 40 Core Formation Realm cultivators who were nervously looking at the situation inside the array formation finally saw their senior and junior brothers through the layers of mist.
Mo Lianshan was the first to retreat, and the 40 cultivators who were guarding outside the array formation immediately opened a gap for Mo Lianshan to come out.
Right now, Mo Lianshan's Taoist robe was completely destroyed, and there was a hole the size of half a fist in his right hand. There were more than a dozen wounds on his legs. His level 4 snow lion was also bleeding profusely.
He was a top-tier Core Formation Realm cultivator, but he was already in such a miserable state. Needless to say, the other junior brothers who had escaped from the array formation were in a worse state.
This was not an illusion array but a killing array!
Those low-tier Core Formation Realm cultivators who were lucky enough to escape with their lives were still scared. For Core Formation Realm cultivators like them, it was not a big problem as long as their golden cores weren't damaged.
Mo Lianshan snorted, but he still didn't dare to rashly go in again. This array formation was indeed not something that Core Formation Realm cultivators could break. If they wanted to break the array formation, they would have to send Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!
However, he couldn't understand why there was such a powerful array formation on Fifth Heaven. This Ethereal Summit indeed lived up to its name!
In the situation just now, if the cultivators of Ethereal Summit wanted to kill them, they could definitely do it!
"They are indeed afraid of Sky Mountain Sect." Mo Lianshan waved his hand. "Set up the array formation here and attack at night!"
He flew to a rock far away and sat down cross-legged to recover from his injuries.
The remaining Core Formation Realm cultivators were a bit embarrassed. The cultivators of Ethereal Summit let them go, but in Mo Lianshan's eyes, the cultivators inside were afraid of Sky Mountain Sect and didn't dare to offend them. That was why he planned to attack at night.
It was not easy to cultivate to the Core Formation Realm, and these cultivators didn't dare to take the risk. If they really offended the cultivators inside, they would lose their lives.
As for the Core Formation Realm cultivators who didn't go in just now, they were a bit embarrassed. If Mo Lianshan wanted to attack in the middle of the night, it might be them who didn't go in just now. However, this array was like the legendary Immortal Slaying Array. Wouldn't they be seeking death if they went in?
In the valley, Xie Yujia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the cultivators retreating.
She was weak to begin with, and after using so much nature essence, she felt dizzy and fell into Hao Ren's arms.
Hao Ren held her body and gently squeezed her wrist. He felt that her pulse was normal and knew that she was just temporarily exhausted.
Usually, Xie Yujia's cheeks were rosy and healthy. But now, her face was pale, giving her a unique beauty of weakness.
Her arms in the short knitted sweater were thin. From her arms to her fingers, they were like transparent jades. They were bent and folded on her stomach.
Her rolled-up jeans revealed her smooth calves, accentuating her perfectly straight legs. Paired with her white sports shoes, she looked especially pleasing to the eye.
Hao Ren looked up and saw that the cultivators of the Sky Mountain Sect didn't rush in again. He picked her up and flew into her cave abode.
Zhao Yanzi's injuries were more serious than Xie Yujia's. She gritted her teeth and slowly recovered.
Seeing Hao Ren fly in with Xie Yujia in his arms, she didn't show any jealousy. Instead, her eyes were filled with concern.
Sensing the concern in her eyes, Hao Ren said, "She's fine. She just fainted."
"Oh …" Zhao Yanzi replied simply, but Hao Ren could clearly see the relief in her eyes.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed. After being trapped in the valley, their relationship has improved a little." Hao Ren thought to himself.
He didn't know that Xie Yujia was severely injured because she tried to save Zhao Yanzi. Zhao Yanzi felt very guilty and began to reflect on whether she had been too bad to Xie Yujia in the past.
There was only a stone bed in Xie Yujia's cave abode. Hao Ren carried Xie Yujia and looked at Duan Yao who was lying on the stone bed like a dumpling. He picked up the rope and put her on the ground at the foot of the bed.
Duan Yao sat on the cold floor and looked at Hao Ren angrily.
Hao Ren didn't care about what she was thinking. He gently laid Xie Yujia on the stone bed, took out an essence replenishment pill, and carefully put it into Xie Yujia's mouth.
Sitting at the foot of the bed, Duan Yao was a bit surprised to see Hao Ren doing these things carefully.
Usually, dual cultivation partners would take care of each other. However, the status of a 'concubine' was almost the same as that of a disciple. The concubine would only serve tea and water, and no one would take care of them.
Even the female cultivators on the Core Formation Realm had high status in the sect. However, if they became the concubine of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, they would have to follow the grand cultivator's orders.
Feeling Duan Yao looking up at him from the side, Hao Ren turned his head slightly and looked back at her.
Duan Yao was thinking about dual cultivation and concubine relationships. Seeing Hao Ren's glance, she blushed slightly and stared at him viciously.
Hao Ren picked up a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Duan Yao's head, blindfolding her eyes.
"Ugh! Ugh! "
Duan Yao immediately twisted her shoulders to show her resistance.
"This bad guy! Pervert! Evil man!" Duan Yao couldn't scream, but she resisted fiercely in her mind.
However, after a while, she realized that Hao Ren didn't touch her. With her eyes blindfolded, she couldn't see what was going on in the cave abode. Therefore, she froze and became uneasy.
In fact, Hao Ren didn't care about her at all. He just felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he covered her eyes.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Hao Ren picked up her right hand and injected a bit of pure nature essence into her. Xie Yujia cultivated the five-elemental Life-Death Notes, and she cultivated all five elements at the same time. Hao Ren transferred his nature essence into her evenly without any conversion.
Her cold right hand gradually warmed up, and Hao Ren withdrew his hand when he sensed that her cultivation technique began to circulate slowly.
Turning his head, Hao Ren saw Zhao Yanzi looking at him with her big eyes in confusion. Her silly expression made her feel like she was too embarrassed to ask someone else for candy while she didn't.
"Fair treatment …" Hao Ren turned around and sat across from Zhao Yanzi before picking up her little hand.
Zhao Yanzi withdrew her hand slightly but immediately stopped struggling.
Hao Ren injected a bit of pure water-elemental nature essence into Zhao Yanzi's body through her wrist.
Zhao Yanzi had lost her Purple Dragon Core, and she had re-cultivated using the Qi Refinement Scroll. Right now, her physique was a pure water-elemental Heavenly Spiritual Root. If she were in the cultivation sects on and above Fifth Heaven, she would be a disciple that all the sects would fight for. If he were to be accepted into a sect, the elders might even start fighting over the disciple.
Zhao Yanzi blushed slightly when she saw Hao Ren carefully injecting nature essence into her body. When she thought of Hao Ren when she was in the most dangerous situation, she felt a little soft in her heart.
"Let me see your injury," Hao Ren said in a low voice while he took off the clothes around her shoulder.
Zhao Yanzi's face was red, but Hao Ren had already pulled her collar to the right and stared at the skin on her shoulder.
Xie Yujia had put the broken bones back together and wrapped them with bandages. She even sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound. In this emergency situation, the treatment was quite meticulous.
Hao Ren looked back at Duan Yao who was at the foot of the bed and found that her head was rubbing against the stone bed. She had already removed the bandages covering her eyes, and she was staring at Hao Ren with her black eyes.
Hao Ren's care for Zhao Yanzi made her feel a bit bad. Zhao Yanzi was her arch-enemy, and Hao Ren was also a pervert in her mind. However, she was a bit confused and jealous when she saw Hao Ren checking Zhao Yanzi's wound.
"It's quite a serious injury." Hao Ren put his hand on Zhao Yanzi's shoulder lightly. The water-elemental nature essence and wood-elemental nature essence had a certain healing effect, and it slowly seeped into Zhao Yanzi's body to complement the effect of the elixir pill.
Zhao Yanzi's shoulder was tied with a few bandages, but her smooth skin could be seen through the narrow bandages. She felt strange being held by Hao Ren's warm hand, but she didn't struggle out.
"Humph!"
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Duan Yao snorted.
"You're fine. Let's rest a bit more," Hao Ren said as he pulled Zhao Yanzi's collar back.
Duan Yao's pink cheeks puffed up in anger when she saw the lovey-dovey scene. When she saw Hao Ren looking at her, she immediately turned her head away.
This was the rule of the cultivation world. Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia's realms were lower than hers, but she was still captured by them. There was nothing more to say.
If this pervert tried to do anything inappropriate, she would kill herself by cutting off her meridians!
Although this way of death was very painful … If she didn't have enough nature essence, it would be worse than death …
Just as she was holding her breath, her wrists that were tied up were suddenly grabbed.
She looked back anxiously and saw Hao Ren reaching out and grabbing her small and delicate hand.
"Oh! Oh! "Duan Yao couldn't scream with the bandages in her mouth, but her eyes were extremely frightened.
She struggled hard, but her wrists were still locked by Hao Ren's fingers.
Gusts of pure five-elemental nature essence flowed from Hao Ren's palm into her arms.
Duan Yao was stunned. She suddenly felt that she had only felt this pure nature essence from her grand uncle-master who was at peak Nascent Soul Realm!
That was the extremely pure fire-elemental nature essence when her grand uncle-master healed her wounds and nurtured her bloodline! However, what this pervert had injected into her body was the same pure spiritual energy, but it also contained the same five elements of spiritual energy!
Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren in astonishment, and her mind changed instantly.
"This pervert is so powerful?!" she thought.
In her astonishment, she forgot to struggle and just stared at Hao Ren blankly. In her previous impression, this pervert's realm was only at top-tier Core Formation Realm, slightly higher than hers. However, if she had the dharma treasures and techniques of Sky Mountain Sect, she wouldn't be too far behind him.
But now, Hao Ren's nature essence was so pure that it was almost beyond the reach of a Core Formation Realm cultivator!
Duan Yao stared at Hao Ren, suddenly suspecting that he was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
Some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would drop from the Nascent Soul Realm back to the Core Formation Realm if they made mistakes in their cultivation or were attacked by powerful enemies who were also in the Nascent Soul Realm. Duan Yao had never seen it happen, but she knew about it.
When Nascent Soul Realm cultivators dropped from the Nascent Soul Realm back to the Core Formation Realm, they had to cultivate again to condense their Nascent Soul. However, since they had reached the Nascent Soul Realm before, their cultivation speed was fast, and the purity of their nature essence was the same as the Nascent Soul Realm …
"Could it be that … this pervert is actually a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator … and he is hiding on Fifth Heaven from his enemies …" she thought.
"However, I have never seen a young Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like him …" she thought to herself.
Little did Hao Ren know that so many thoughts had flashed through Duan Yao's mind during the few seconds he was checking her Nature Essence.
Seeing Duan Yao staring at him without blinking, he felt a bit scared. Duan Yao's serious expression and pitch-black eyes were actually quite interesting.
"Humph!" Hao Ren pretended to be fierce and suddenly withdrew his nature essence.
"Ah …" Hao Ren pulled his nature essence out of her meridians abruptly, and it felt like he was cutting her body with a knife. She shivered in pain, and she screamed with her mouth biting on the cloth.
She looked at Hao Ren angrily and suddenly realized that she shouldn't respect him even though he was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
Hao Ren stood up and looked at her lightly.
He knew that Zhao Yanzi was a bit unruly in some ways, but Duan Yao was the fiercer one. When they first met, Duan Yao bullied Zhao Yanzi and Little White with her level 5 snow lion just because they didn't agree with each other. She picked up her sword and slashed at them. If Hao Ren didn't stop her, Zhao Yanzi would have been severely injured, and Duan Yao would have taken Little White away.
When they were in the valley, Zhao Yanzi was playing with her, but Duan Yao kept stabbing at Zhao Yanzi's heart with her dagger.
He abruptly withdrew his nature essence, and Duan Yao felt a sharp pain since Zhao Yanzi's shoulder was almost broken. At the same time, Xie Yujia almost lost her life.
This small punishment wasn't a punishment at all. If a cultivator on and above Fifth Heaven fell into the hands of an enemy, it would be a light punishment if their soul was extracted and their bones burned!
Hao Ren reached out and removed the cloth from Duan Yao's mouth.
He had just measured Duan Yao's elemental essence and found that she had a pure fire-elemental essence, which was the 'Heavenly Spiritual Root'. Just like Zhao Yanzi, it was the best physique for cultivation.
"Evil thieves! My Sky Mountain Sect will tear you into pieces! "Duan Yao took a deep breath and cursed at Hao Ren.
She hated Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi to the core. They not only took her cultivation technique and sword but also captured her. With her background in Sky Mountain Sect, who dared to do this to her?
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi should be turned into ashes for the crime of taking her cultivation technique!
As long as her senior brothers attacked, Hao Ren and the other two would be captured and thrown into the Heavenly Prison, never to see the light of day again!
On and above Fifth Heaven, it was a world of vengeance. As long as it was for treasures, it was worth killing! Zhao Yanzi only took her things to anger her, but she didn't expect that she would be the first person on Duan Yao's kill list!
"As soon as my grand uncle-master comes out of seclusion cultivation, he will kill you all!" Duan Yao glared at Hao Ren and said viciously.
Hao Ren was only a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who had fallen back to the Core Formation Realm and was hiding from his enemies on Fifth Heaven. Even a real Nascent Soul Realm cultivator couldn't defeat her grand uncle-master who was at peak Nascent Soul Realm!
However, Duan Yao didn't want her grand uncle-master to kill Zhao Yanzi herself!
