Chapter 196

"You …" Wu Shang widened his eyes. A dignified Golden Core cultivator actually had his golden core snatched away by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This was such an ironic and humiliating way of dying.

Ultimately, Wu Shang died with boundless sorrow, humiliation and unwillingness.

"This is … golden core?" When Tian Xue and Tian Xing saw the pearl like golden core in Cheng Yu's hand, they were so shocked that they were speechless. Not only had Cheng Yu killed a Golden Core expert, he had even snatched away his golden core. If this matter were to be spread out, Cheng Yu's name would be spread throughout the whole Cultivation World.

However, Tian Xue and Tian Xing would never divulge this matter out. Because not only would it bring endless troubles to Cheng Yu, it would also bring trouble to the both of them. It might even bring trouble to Tianshan Sect.

"How is it? You two can still walk, right? "Cheng Yu kept the golden core as he walked over to the duo.

"No … nothing! Thank you for saving us, Cheng Yu … Senior Brother, "Tian Xue stuttered. She had no idea how she should look at Cheng Yu. If they were to talk about cultivation realm, Cheng Yu seemed to be in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If they were to talk about strength, he was already able to kill a Golden Core expert. She had no idea if she should address him as senior or senior brother. In short, she couldn't address him as junior brother.

"Senior Sister Tian Xue, if you act like this, I will be unhappy. I still hope that you can address me as junior brother like in the past," Cheng Yu said with a straight face.

"But …"

"Alright. It's settled then," Tian Xue was still hesitating, but Cheng Yu had already made his decision. Following that, he asked, "Right, why did these people want to kill you two? It shouldn't be a simple sect dispute right?"

During this period of time in Death Forest, Cheng Yu had seen quite a number of sects. When they met each other, they would be extremely intimate, as though they had not seen each other for a long time. However, they would always push each other aside and fight endlessly.

Even so, they still hadn't reached a stage where they could kill each other openly. Therefore, Cheng Yu reckoned that Shushan people must have something against them.

"This … actually, it's because of this high-grade spiritual tool that Shushan people wanted to exterminate us," Tian Xue pondered before taking out a high-grade spiritual tool. Tian Xue pondered for a moment before taking out a high-grade spiritual long sword. She felt that since Cheng Yu already had a soul tool, why would he care about her spiritual tool? Besides, he had even saved their lives. If he really wanted to give it to him, it was only natural.

"So it's like that. These people are truly ruthless. For a spiritual tool, they wanted to exterminate all of you," Cheng Yu looked at the spiritual tool in Tian Xue's hand, feeling that he wasn't interested in it.

As a newly risen nouveau riche, Cheng Yu had countless spiritual tools in his hands. Just soul tools alone, he already had 11 of them. Why would he still be interested in a spiritual tool?

However, the spiritual tool in Wu Shang's hand was different. Wu Shang didn't have the time to self-destruct. Therefore, his storage artifact was taken away by Cheng Yu.

"What do you plan to do next? With your current situation, it's impossible for you to continue advancing," Cheng Yu looked at the duo and spoke.

"This …" Tian Xue glanced at Cheng Yu, wanting to say something but hesitated.

"Senior Brother Cheng Yu, I'm afraid it would be a problem for us to return. Therefore, can you allow us to follow Senior Brother to continue advancing?" Naturally, Tian Xing was able to see Tian Xue's hesitation. His thoughts were the same as hers. Since Tian Xue wasn't in a good position to speak, he spoke directly.

"No way!" The moment Tian Xing's words faded, Cheng Yu rejected.

Putting aside the fact that he had so many secrets on him, he still needed to search for the other three palaces. How could he possibly let them know of it? Although he had appeared to save Tian Xue and them, it was completely due to morality. No matter what, they were acquainted with each other. Furthermore, his impression of Tian Xue wasn't bad. Besides, Cheng Yu couldn't stand those Shushan fellows.

Until now, those who knew of Cheng Yu's secret had all died. Those who were still alive, there wasn't anyone close to Cheng Yu whom he could reveal his secrets to.

"…" Hearing Cheng Yu had rejected them so straightforwardly, both of them were extremely disappointed. Especially Tian Xue. She felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

"Alright. Both of you be careful. Return earlier!" Cheng Yu didn't wish to get too involved with them. To put it bluntly, they were merely acquaintances. After speaking a sentence, he left.

"Senior Sister, what should we do now? Are we really going back? But we didn't manage to obtain the god water. What about Elder Qing and Senior Sister's mother? "Tian Xing looked at Cheng Yu's departing figure but was helpless.

"Let's go!" Tian Xue also looked at Cheng Yu's departing figure. Ultimately, she made up her mind. After that, she followed behind Cheng Yu.

Naturally, Cheng Yu knew that Tian Xue and Tian Xing were following him. However, he couldn't understand why they wanted to continue moving forward. Could the treasure be so important? With their abilities, let alone seizing the treasure, they couldn't even protect themselves.

However, there was no need for Cheng Yu to know all these. He increased his speed of traversing through the Fantasy Ocean. With his current strength, any ordinary danger would not be able to obstruct him. Therefore, if it wasn't any special circumstances, he would be able to traverse the Fantasy Ocean as though he was flying.

However, Tian Xue and Tian Xing who were following behind weren't so lucky. In the Death Fantasy Ocean, there were all sorts of offensive plants, causing the two of them to dance in joy.

"Senior Sister, there are so many man-eating flowers. We can't deal with them!" The two of them accidentally fell into a group of man-eating flowers. The vines of the man-eating flowers were like a spider web, intertwining with each other. Very quickly, the two of them were trapped.

"Persevere!" Tian Xue's eyes flashed with a trace of tenacity. Her heart was still filled with anticipation. She felt that Cheng Yu would definitely come back to save them.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" Seeing the two of them were about to be devoured by the man-eating flowers, Cheng Yu, who had been observing from afar, had no choice but to make a move.

When she saw Cheng Yu had appeared, Tian Xue was delighted. She became even more determined to follow him.

In Tian Xue and Tian Xing's eyes, it was an inescapable net. However, in Cheng Yu's eyes, it was like tofu. In just a few moves, it had fallen onto the ground.

A Thousand Heavy Waves had directly turned these man-eating flowers into powder.

"Go back! If this carries on, it won't be long before you two lose your lives. Next time, I will not make a move, "Cheng Yu's tone was filled with dissatisfaction. After that, he left.

"Senior Sister, are we still following?" Seeing the situation, Tian Xing enquired.

"Of course, why not!" Tian Xue smiled.

"But Senior Sister, he said he won't save us anymore. If we continue on like this, we will lose our lives," Tian Xing commented worriedly.

In the end, not long later, the duo was surrounded by a group of man-eating plants. Cheng Yu wasn't a ruthless person. No matter what he did, he was unable to turn a blind eye to it. Ultimately, he had no choice but to make a move.

"Are you two really courting death? If so, then you can just commit suicide in front of me! Don't follow me anymore. Otherwise, I might not be able to endure it and kill you two before leaving, "Facing such a situation, Cheng Yu also spoke ruthlessly. These duo truly didn't know how to appreciate favors.

"Senior Sister, let's not follow him anymore! I think he's really angered, "Tian Xing spoke weakly. Cheng Yu's aura was too frightening, causing them to feel fear.

"Let's go!" Tian Xue didn't mind as she followed up.

"Senior Sister!" Tian Xing called out softly. Although he was afraid, he still followed behind Tian Xue.

"I said before. Don't follow me anymore. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?!" When he saw Tian Xue had followed him, Cheng Yu was truly angered. The two of them had clearly seen through his weakness, treating him as a nice guy.

He still had an important mission on hand. How could he possibly be concerned about their life and death?

"…" Tian Xue looked at him, not speaking a single word.

"Senior Sister, how are you so sure that I wouldn't dare to kill you? You are wrong!" Cheng Yu placed his sword on Tian Xue's snow-white neck as he spoke coldly.

"Senior Brother Cheng Yu, don't! We don't have any other intentions. We only wish to obtain … "

"Tian Xing!" Tian Xing wanted to tell Cheng Yu their objective but was stopped by Tian Xue.

"What do you wish to obtain?" Cheng Yu frowned.

"…" Both of them didn't speak.

"Since it's like this, then die!" Cheng Yu brandished his sword, slashing towards Tian Xue's neck once again.

"God water, we want to obtain god water!" Tian Xing saw the situation and couldn't endure it anymore as he spoke out hastily.

"Tian Xing!" Tian Xue shouted.

"Senior Sister, just tell Senior Brother Cheng Yu. Only he can help us obtain god water." In Tian Xing's opinion, Death Forest was so dangerous. Other than Cheng Yu, who was abnormally strong, no one else would be able to obtain god water.

"Say it! What god water? "Cheng Yu spoke nonchalantly.

"Senior Brother Cheng Yu, the reason why we came to Death Forest is because one of our Tianshan Sect elders and Senior Sister Tian Xue's mother was injured by the demonic sect. Currently, they are neither alive nor dead. Legend has it that within Death Shrine, there's a god spring that can bring people back to life. Therefore, we want to obtain the god water, "Tian Xing explained.

"Even so, I'm still unable to help you. I don't have the time to help you search for god water," Cheng Yu was also somewhat astonished. Unexpectedly, Death Shrine had such a thing.

However, he still had to search for three palaces. Where would he have the time to search for such things? He also didn't know if Death Shrine was one of them. How was he going to help them search for it?

"Senior Sister, you …" At this moment, Tian Xing suddenly spoke.

"…" Cheng Yu didn't expect Tian Xue would actually cry. He was somewhat at a loss as he quickly took down his sword.

"You guys go back! If I were to find the god water, I will send it over to Tianshan Sect, "Looking at Tian Xue's expression, Cheng Yu was truly unable to continue scaring her.

"No way. I want to go with you," Tian Xue replied stubbornly.

"I can't promise you this. If you want the god water, you have to go back," Cheng Yu shook his head.

"I don't care. I will continue to follow you."

"You …!" Cheng Yu was speechless. This woman was too infuriating.

"Senior Brother Cheng Yu, just let us follow you! Don't worry. We will take care of ourselves. Furthermore, if you were to find any treasures, we will not take them. As long as you give us a bottle of god water when the time comes, "Tian Xing saw how stubborn Tian Xue was. He was afraid that he would anger Cheng Yu again, so he quickly spoke.

"…" Cheng Yu turned silent. The matter regarding the underground palace was definitely a huge secret in Death Forest. Furthermore, there were definitely a lot of things he didn't know about. He wished to clarify some of his doubts. If Tian Xue and Tian Xing were to follow him, they would definitely come in contact with this secret. This wasn't a good thing.

Regardless of personal benefits or other aspects, Cheng Yu felt that the secret of Death Forest should be buried and not divulged.
