"You two?"
Wu Kuang frowned.
Even though the Subterranean Gallery no longer had an Otherworldly Demon army, there were still quite a few Otherworldly Demons living within. Since it was an expedition, there was bound to be danger. If one's teammates were too weak, it would affect one's overall fighting prowess.
Of the two before him, the adolescent boy's face was ghastly pale, a clear indication that he was severely injured. The young man was sickly as well, and judging from his cultivation, he hadn't even reached Saint realm yet. The two of them would only be a burden to him.
"I don't know why the two of you are entering the Subterranean Gallery, but let me give you a word of advice. Don't joke around with your lives!"
Wu Kuang advised.
"I appreciate Wu Shi's goodwill, but the two of us have a reason to enter the Subterranean Gallery, so we'll just follow behind you. As for the danger, we'll bear it ourselves. We won't drag you down with us!"
Zhang Xuan said with a bitter smile.
To think that he, the number one genius of mankind, an Aureate Body realm consummation expert, would actually be looked down upon by a Saint 4-dan fellow … Just the thought of it left him feeling stifled.
"That's good."
Wu Kuang fell silent.
Life and death were in their own hands. He had already said those words, but the other party still insisted on it. If they were to encounter any danger, they couldn't blame him for watching idly by the side.
After all, it was not their duty to save others.
"He must be courting death …"
"He must have never suffered before, so he doesn't know what danger is!"
Seeing how the two of them insisted on heading over, the others harrumphed in disdain.
Their cultivation hadn't even reached Saint realm, and they couldn't even fly. If they were to encounter any danger, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
Thus, the group walked out of the dilapidated clock tower and headed toward the building ahead. However, barely after taking a few steps, several combat masters suddenly appeared and blocked their path.
"Seven Star Master Teacher, Wu Kuang. This is my travel pass!" Wu Kuang said as he walked up to the combat masters.
One of the combat masters took the travel pass and examined it carefully before nodding. "Let's go in. You only have three days, so you have to return within three days!"
"Don't worry!"
Wu Kuang replied with a smile before leading the group into the Subterranean Gallery.
Even though the Subterranean Gallery was open to the public, ordinary master teachers and cultivators still had to prepare a pass in advance. Otherwise, if those whose cultivation hadn't even reached Saint realm were to enter the Subterranean Gallery, things might get out of hand.
The entrance to the Catacombs was sealed inside the building. After walking for a while, they entered smoothly.
Just like before, the blood moon hung high in the sky, and the entire world was filled with killing intent.
"This is your first time here, so you'll need some time to adjust yourselves. Otherwise, the Slaughter Qi could easily invade your mind and form an inner demon!"
When they arrived at an empty space, Wu Kuang did not continue forward. Instead, he instructed.
The Slaughter Qi was extremely terrifying. Cultivators who did not have a strong mental state could easily be invaded by it, causing irrecoverable psychological damage.
This was the first time these people had entered. Even if their cultivations were not weak, they still needed some time to adjust before they could continue deeper.
"We …"
Seeing that everyone was going to rest on the spot, Wu Chen turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
Although some of them were injured, and some of them had yet to recover their cultivation bases, this level of killing intent was nothing to them. There was no need for them to waste any more time here.
"There's no need to rush. Given our current state, there's nothing we can do even if we rush back. Why don't we recuperate while we travel? At the very least, we'll be safe here," Zhang Xuan said.
Sovereign Chen Yong had grown up in the blood moon, so he was able to recover much faster here than on the Master Teacher Continent.
Wu Chen nodded in agreement.
Given their current state, they could very well end up falling into Sovereign Chen Yong's trap. Since Sovereign Chen Yong was in the open while he was in the dark, it was better for them to take things one step at a time.
While the others were getting used to the Slaughter Qi, Zhang Xuan dived his consciousness into the Myriad Anthive Nest and extracted the spiritual energy stored in the Myriad Anthive Nest. He discreetly infused it into his acupoints and refined it into Heaven's Path zhenqi.
Blood Reincarnation could ensure one's survival, but killing one would consume a huge portion of one's lifespan. It was for this reason that despite Zhang Hongtian's incredible strength, he had still died before the others.
Zhang Xuan had committed suicide by Mingshi Tang's hand. Firstly, he would be able to answer to mankind, and secondly, he would be able to sneak into the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe without being noticed.
Gugugu!
Spiritual energy gushed into his body, and as his zhenqi grew more and more vigorous, his cultivation swiftly recovered.
Soon, he reached Saint realm, then Saint realm, then Saint realm …
In less than an hour, he had already recovered to Saint realm Saint realm.
Sha sha sha!
While Zhang Xuan was still in the midst of recovering, a series of rustling sounds suddenly echoed in his ears. He opened his eyes and gazed into the distance.
Wu Chen frowned.
"What's that?"
Zhang Xuan did not know much about the environment of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, so he could only send a telepathic message to ask.
"It's the Mapleleaf Wolf. It grows stronger by devouring the energy of the blood moon, and the Wolf King possesses the strength of a Saint 5-dan Leaving Aperture realm cultivator.
It's an extremely savage existence, "Wu Chen said.
"Mapleleaf Wolf?"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
While the environment of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's ancient battlefield was harsh, there were still many spirit beasts and flora. He had never heard of the Mapleleaf Wolf before, but considering how Sovereign Chen Yong described it as savage, it was unlikely to be anything ordinary.
"Everyone, be careful. Something seems to be heading our way …"
While Zhang Xuan was speaking, Wu Kuang seemed to have noticed something as well, and he exclaimed in shock as he hurriedly got to his feet.
Huala!
As soon as he said those words, eight wolves had already sealed off the area, surrounding the group.
These wolves were gray in color, and there was only a tuft of white fur on their foreheads that resembled maple leaves.
There weren't many of them, but every single one of them carried a ferocious aura that left the group pale in fright.
"There's no need to resist. Become our food obediently, and we'll grant you a swift death!"
With a cold bellow, a snow-white Wolf King walked out from behind the pack of wolves with reddened eyes.
"Leaving Aperture realm?"
Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
The faces of the others also turned pale.
They didn't think that their luck would be so bad.
Zhang Xuan had thought that he would be able to find some suitable medicinal herbs and treasures before leaving the area to make a killing. However, who could have thought that he would encounter such a powerful saint beast right after entering the area and before he could even get used to the killing intent in the air?
The Mapleleaf Wolves were already far more ferocious than master teachers of the same cultivation realm, and now, a Wolf King had appeared on top of that …
Were they going to die right after entering the ancient battlefield?
"Prepare yourself for battle!"
Taking a deep breath, Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes and flicked his wrist. A sword appeared in his hand, and he raised it up high to stab it toward the Wolf King.
His only chance at survival was to find a way to kill the Mapleleaf Wolf. Once that fellow was dead, the other Mapleleaf Wolves would no longer pose a threat to him.
"Aowuuu!"
Seeing that the human before him had chosen to attack him right from the start, the Wolf King sneered coldly. Disdain flashed in its eyes as it raised its paw and struck forward.
Huala!
Killing intent burst forth from the Mapleleaf Wolf King, and before Wu Kuang could even process what was going on, he was already sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground.
To think that even a Seven Star pinnacle master teacher wouldn't be a match for it!
