Cheng Yu also didn't wish to expose the Jewel Cauldron. The trio continued to move forward leisurely. Occasionally, they would kill a few demonic beasts and roast some meat.
Every night, the fragrance of the roasted meat would permeate into the surroundings, causing those who were following them to suffer. Every day, they had to be careful not to be discovered. Even if they wanted to fill their stomach, they could only eat some dry rations. How could they be as carefree as the trio?
Every day, they would smell the fragrance, causing their stomach to bulge and their saliva to dry up. It was truly torturous. But for the sake of the treasure, they didn't wish to give up.
"Senior Brother, we can't continue on like this. If these people were to continue following us, wouldn't we never be able to return home? "Tian Xing spoke gloomily while smelling the fragrance of the roasted meat.
The trio had been wandering around the forest for a few days, but Cheng Yu still said that the surrounding people were still following them. In the past, they had a mission to complete, so they had no choice but to wander around. Now that they had completed their mission, they naturally wished to leave as soon as possible.
"What's the rush? Now, it's a competition of patience and wits. If they want to follow, let them follow! Isn't your Senior Sister also looking for Death Shrine? Perhaps, we might really find it? "Cheng Yu chuckled.
"That's right. I believe in the existence of Death Shrine!" Although Cheng Yu was certain that there were only five shrines here, she still didn't believe it.
"Haha. Then let's be patient and search for it for a few days." In terms of urgency, Cheng Yu was more anxious than anyone else. He had long wished to return back, but he couldn't do so.
He wished to kill all of them, but they weren't together. This way, it would be very easy for them to slip up. Furthermore, he needed to relay a message to the others that Death Shrine had yet to be found. Therefore, Cheng Yu couldn't kill these people.
Howl! Howl! It was at this moment, a number of wolf howls resonated. Furthermore, it seemed like it wasn't far from them.
"Damn it! Could it be that we have lured the wolf pack over? "Hearing the howls, Tian Xing spoke nervously.
"Without a doubt, that's the truth!" Cheng Yu laughed. There was no need to listen as countless pairs of green eyes had already appeared in the darkness.
"This … … Senior Brother, should we hide in the soul tool?" Seeing so many demon wolves appearing, Tian Xing grew anxious.
In this central area, when it was safe, it was safer than anywhere else, but when it was dangerous, it was more dangerous than anywhere else. These demon wolves weren't ordinary. They were all in the Golden Core Stage. How could Tian Xing, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, not be nervous?
"What are you afraid of? They came just in time. Weren't we worried that we wouldn't have a chance to escape? Now, the opportunity has come! " Cheng Yu wasn't nervous at all. Although he wouldn't be able to deal with so many demon wolves, he could still escape.
Roar ~! The wolf pack slowly revealed themselves. All of them were fiery red in color, looking very berserk. Cheng Yu estimated that there were around 200 to 300 of them. Most of them were in the Golden Core initial stage.
Cheng Yu's sharp ears had already heard that the other places had already started fighting. Cheng Yu's mouth curled into a smile. If he didn't guess wrongly, the people who were hiding in the surroundings should have encountered the wolf pack first.
"Senior Brother! They're here for the barbecue. Why don't we give it to them? " Tian Xing picked up a piece of meat on the grill and said nervously when he saw these fiery-red fellows with bright green eyes and saliva dripping down from their mouths. He looked as though he wanted to throw it out at any moment.
"No!" Cheng Yu snatched the barbecue from Tian Xing's hand. After that, he clamped the two of them under his armpit and said, "Hold onto me tightly!"
Cheng Yu finished speaking, he held onto the barbecue with both of his hands and flew out rapidly.
Roar ~! When the wolf pack saw Cheng Yu had taken the food and ran away, they howled and chased after him!
"Not good! Senior Brother, run quickly! They are catching up! " Although they didn't fly, they could still fly. However, they seemed to be running even faster. A pack of wolves was chasing after them closely.
Cheng Yu was courageous. Furthermore, he revealed a trace of fear and didn't break away from their pursuit. Instead, he 'unintentionally' ran towards the hiding place of those people.
"Not good! Cheng Yu is heading towards us. There are so many demon wolves behind him. Quickly run! "A lot of them hid in the dark. When they realized the situation wasn't good, they quickly revealed themselves and ran away.
Cheng Yu also didn't fly towards them directly. Instead, he flew in one direction. This was already enough to scare them to the point that their souls were about to scatter.
The demon wolves didn't care so much. Once they realized there were people, they chased after them in groups. Therefore, Cheng Yu led the pack of demon wolves to wander around. Occasionally, he would 'discover' a few people and give them a few wolves.
After circling around in all directions, those who were tailing Cheng Yu were almost all found. Those who were weaker had basically become the prey of the demon wolves. As for those who were stronger or had faster reaction speed, they had already slipped away.
"Haha! It turns out that walking wolves is so interesting! In the future, I should practice from time to time! "Ultimately, Cheng Yu stopped in mid-air, looking at the small pack of demon wolves that had been tailing him.
"Senior Brother! Let's run! In a while, those demon wolves will catch up to us! " Seeing how leisurely Cheng Yu was, Tian Xing was very afraid. Those demon wolves had been eyeing them covetously.
Although this was very exciting, he was just a small Foundation Establishment late stage cultivator. When he saw so many Golden Core demon wolves, he was truly afraid. He was very worried that the other wolves would catch up to them.
Cheng Yu threw all the roasted meat in his hand down. Immediately, the demon wolves started tearing it apart. Cheng Yu slipped away like a wisp of smoke. However, it seemed like not all the demon wolves were tricked by him. There were still quite a number of demon wolves that chased after him relentlessly. It seemed like Cheng Yu was the real delicacy.
Whoosh! Cheng Yu wasn't worried about being discovered by others. Those people had long escaped. Cheng Yu took out the Jewel Cauldron. The trio hid in the Mountain River Diagram, not bothering about whether there were still demon wolves chasing after them as they flew out of the center.
Perhaps, it was because they knew they couldn't catch up to them anymore. After an hour, those demon wolves finally gave up on Cheng Yu.
Since they had escaped, the trio no longer had anything to worry about as they flew out of the Death Forest's periphery. In order to not attract any attention, the trio intentionally took out treasured artifact flying swords. Furthermore, they had used appearance changing pills to disguise themselves. This way, no one would be able to recognize them!

Kunlun Sect Conference Hall!
Bang! Hearing the disciple's report, Yuan Yangzi's complexion turned ashen. With a slap, he shattered the tea table beside him!
"Preposterous! Preposterous! Too arrogant! How many years had it been? How many years had it been? No one had dared to bully my Kunlun! What qualifications does this Cheng Yu have? Just because he's a Limitless Palace disciple? "Yuan Yangzi glared at Cheng Yu furiously. The anger in his heart was unable to be vented.
He had sent out eight Gold Core Realm outstanding disciples. Initially, he thought that it would not be a problem for them to escort the Kunlun disciples from the Death Forest back safely. However, he did not expect that the disciples from the Death Forest would return first.
But the 8 outstanding Golden Core disciples that he had sent out had all fallen. How could he endure this? Golden Core disciples were currently the sect's pillar. The more Golden Core disciples the sect had, the higher the probability of having a stronger disciple in the future.
Therefore, the sect attached great importance to the Golden Core disciples. They had spent a lot of resources to nurture them. But because of Cheng Yu's appearance, the number of Foundation Establishment disciples and Golden Core disciples that had fallen in his hands had already reached a few dozens.
Even the number of Golden Core disciples had reached a dozen. This was truly heart-wrenching and incomparably furious.
Those kneeling disciples had just returned from the Death Forest. Among them, there were also Yun Feng and Yun Hai who had been sent out previously. At this moment, they were kneeling down while trembling with fear. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The news was brought back by them. Previously, they had also arrived at the center of the Death Forest. But because they were surrounded by the other sects, they didn't dare to show themselves.
But what was even more unexpected was that Cheng Yu would also appear there. Thus, they didn't dare to show themselves. Until they saw Cheng Yu had killed those 8 senior brothers, they left hastily and returned back to report the news. Therefore, it resulted in the scene of Yuan Yangzi flying into a rage just now.
"Tell me, what's the current strength of this Cheng Yu?" Although he was angry, he still had to get his revenge no matter what.
"Reporting to Sect Master. This person is currently in the Middle Stage of Golden Core Realm. Even if his strength isn't comparable to a Nascent Soul Realm senior, it's not too far off!" Yun Feng replied honestly.
Regarding such a situation, he felt that it was illogical. But at least in his opinion, it was the truth! Which Golden Core cultivator would be able to kill so many Golden Core cultivators so easily? Only a Nascent Soul expert would be able to do so.
"What! Strength comparable to Nascent Soul Realm? How is this possible! Didn't they say he's comparable to Late Stage Golden Core? Even if he had improved, it's impossible for him to be so fast! "Yuan Yangzi and all the other elders were shocked speechless.
This Cheng Yu's growth was too fast. Recalling when they first got to know Cheng Yu, he was still a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
But in a short span of 3 months, his strength was actually comparable to Nascent Soul Realm. With such growth speed, wouldn't he be comparable to them in a few years?
"Reporting to Sect Master. What disciple said isn't false. Golden Core cultivators are no longer able to deal with him. A lot of people felt that it was because he had found the Death Shrine that he would be able to improve so quickly. "Yun Feng replied.
"You all also feel that he had found the Death Shrine?" Yuan Yangzi's anger couldn't be quelled as he questioned.
"Disciple doesn't dare to confirm. But at that time, Cheng Yu had indeed appeared from the treasure radiance. Furthermore, this wasn't the first time!"
"There's such a matter? Could it be that there's more than one Death Shrine in this Death Forest? "Elder Ping enquired doubtfully.
"Very possible! However, this isn't the time to care about this. Cheng Yu is the main point we are concerned about. This kid's growth speed is simply unheard of. Perhaps, this might be related to him possessing 3 Golden Cores. The increase in his strength had already far surpassed an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. "Yuan Yangzi harrumphed.
What Death Shrine was no longer important to him. After this incident, he believed that everyone in the Cultivation World would know that Cheng Yu had killed his Kunlun Sect disciple in front of everyone.
"Sect Master, what do you intend to do?" Elder Ping enquired.
