Outside Scarlet Cloud City, in the wilderness.
The thirty cultivators were doing their best to fight against the bolts of lightning. These bolts of lightning were extremely fast and abnormally ghostly. There were also many of them, more than two hundred bolts of lightning.
"Rip!"
The body of Great Emperor North River was struck by a lightning. A claw vaguely tore apart part of the flesh of Great Emperor North River, tearing off a leg!
"Open!" Great Emperor North River had a savage expression. His sword light was like a river that clashed against the body of that lightning, forcing it back.
Great Emperor North River's body rapidly regrown.
"Quick, get rid of them."
"Retreat!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry."
These cultivators were slightly panicking. Quite a few of them were facing a dangerous situation. Amongst them was a tall and sturdy white-haired old man. This white-haired old man was strangely blind. Currently, there were many sword lights revolving around him, madly attacking the surrounding 'lightning'. These 'lightning lights' were actually four-legged snake-like Chaotic Origin Lifeforms that were bathed in lightning.
The white-haired blind old man was none other than the founder of this team, 'Heart Eye Sword Ancestor'. It was also because of him that the team did not have any casualties. Quite a few cultivators who were in dire straits would send out a sword light to repel the Chaotic Origin Lifeforms.
13 sword lights revolved around 'Heart Eye Sword Ancestor'. They were ready to save their comrades at any time. At the same time, they were also taking the opportunity to kill some Middle Stage God Emperor and Late Stage God Emperor Chaotic Origin Lifeforms.
He retreated as he fought!
As they gradually broke free, they retreated faster and faster until they completely broke free.
"Whoosh."
The group of thirty cultivators did not care about being exposed at all. They turned into a blurry stream of light and rushed towards Scarlet Cloud City at a terrifying speed.
Because they were relatively close to Scarlet Cloud City to begin with, they rushed back to the city in no time at all.
"Brother Heart Eye."
"Brother Xinyan, you've returned very quickly this time around."
The two experts on the city wall who were in charge of guarding said with a smile.
The blind white-haired old man shook his head and said, "Our luck was bad. I didn't expect to run into a group of Grayclawed Thunder Snakes while hunting outside the city. There were more than two hundred of them, and half of them were God Emperor Perfection!"
"What? So many Gray-Clawed Lightning Snakes?"
"Brother Xinyan is indeed amazing. Everyone came back alive."
The two guards praised.
"It's all thanks to Brother Heart Eye."
"Brother Heartless, this time, I might have lost my life. I actually encountered the most troublesome Gray-Clawed Lightning Snake." The cultivators in the group said one after another.
…
In the team, Great Emperor North River remained silent.
Even though quite a few members of the team met with danger this time, most of them were used to it. Great Emperor North River had only been in the Scarlet Cloud City for a short period. This was the most dangerous encounter he had ever had since he arrived at the Scarlet Cloud City.
"There were a few times where I almost died." Great Emperor North River recalled the previous dangerous situations. He could not help but feel his heart trembling.
'Hunting outside really depends on one's luck. If one's luck is slightly bad, there might be a group of sufficiently powerful Chaotic Origin Lifeforms attacking them, and there might even be the risk of dying.' Great Emperor North River thought, 'Even though I have always chosen to hunt close to the Scarlet Cloud City since it is relatively safer to hunt outside the city, the Scarlet Cloud City is much safer. But that's only relatively speaking … Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times. The more you do it, the greater the danger you will encounter. "
Outside the city.
One had to know that even the most terrifying Chaotic Origin Prisoner, the 'Chaotic Origin Sea Master', had once come to Scarlet Cloud City. Who knows, there might even be a new branch of Chaotic Origin Lifeform Clan coming here.
'It's too dangerous.'
'If this continues, would I still be able to survive the next time I encounter such a terrifying danger?' Great Emperor North River felt slightly anxious.
Even though he had the strength of God Emperor at the grand perfection realm, his strength was the most commonly seen in Scarlet Cloud City! He occupied more than 80% of the area!
'Alternatively, I can choose to join those hunting teams that are far away. Even though the distance is far and more dangerous! A single harvest of food could last for several hundred million years or even longer. 'Great Emperor North River thought.
'Alternatively, I can rely on an apex expert and become a member of his team.' Great Emperor North River pondered.
Within Scarlet Cloud City, there were a total of a few dozen apex experts.
Any team that was formed would attract a huge number of cultivators to join! Because most apex experts would do their best to protect their own team members when they were out adventuring. Only under the premise of protecting their own team members would they slightly help the loose cultivators.
'But with my current strength, who would be willing to accept me?' Great Emperor North River shook his head inwardly.
During these years.
He had also witnessed the strength of apex experts.
For instance, this time, 'Heart Eye Sword Ancestor' was ranked in the top ten within Scarlet Cloud City. Every single one of his 13 divine swords had a power comparable to a Grand Perfection God Emperor! When the 13 God Swords worked together, their strength was frightening. This time, he was controlling the 13 Divine Swords to protect everyone.
…
Scarlet Cloud City, within the Scarlet Cloud Palace Hall.
The team led by Great Emperor North River was also distributing the spoils of war. According to the agreement, 'Heart Eye Sword Ancestor' would take 80% of it! The other cultivators would split the remaining 20% according to their contribution points.
No choice. Even when Heart Eye Sword Ancestor took 80%, everyone was still willing to join because the techniques Heart Eye Sword Ancestor specialized in were more suitable for helping his comrades. To Heart Eye Sword Ancestor, there was practically no danger when hunting outside the city. This time, his luck was not too good, yet he still managed to bring everyone back. That was the reason why he took 80%!
"12 million years worth of food." Great Emperor North River received the food that was distributed to him.
Once the spoils of war were distributed, everyone dispersed.
Great Emperor North River walked alone on the street.
"12 million years worth of food. If this continues, I'll have to go out and kill more than a thousand times in 10 billion years?"
"It has been too short since I came to Scarlet Cloud City. There are too many experts here that came from different worlds. Their cultivation systems are different too. Interacting with them has given me a huge harvest. With sufficient time, I might even improve further and reach the apex, reaching the same level as Cloud Phoenix City Master. "
"I need time. I need time to properly cultivate."
Unknowingly, Great Emperor North River arrived outside a cavern-dwelling.
He turned around and looked at the main entrance of this cavern-dwelling.
This was the cavern-dwelling of Dongbo Xue Ying!
"Ying Shan Snow Eagle! I still have to ask him for help. " Great Emperor North River gritted his teeth, "I've always been waiting for him to take the initiative to ask me for help. That way, I can take the opportunity to sell the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet for a high price. But he never came … so I can only take the initiative to ask him. "
He was clear.
If Dongbo Xue Ying took the initiative to ask him for help, he could take the opportunity to sell it for a high price.
If he, North River, begged Dongbo Xue Ying to come and buy the Thousand-Eyed Water Droplet, Dongbo Xue Ying would definitely lower the price.
"I can't wait any longer."
Great Emperor North River directly walked towards the main entrance of the cavern-dwelling.
There was a puppet protector at the entrance. The puppet protector shouted: "Halt."
"Tell your master that I, North River, am here to meet him." Great Emperor North River said.
The puppet protector remained silent for a moment. Clearly, he was transmitting to Dongbo Xue Ying. Very soon, the puppet protector said: "Monarch North River, please enter. My master is currently waiting for you within the residence."
Only then did Great Emperor North River enter.
With a puppet female attendant guiding him along the corridor, he soon arrived at a garden.
Within the garden.
A white-robed Dongbo Xue Ying was currently seated cross-legged under the pavilion. A stick of incense was burning, causing its fragrance to permeate the air. By the side, there were female attendants serving him. Delicious food and fruits were placed on the table. The flask of wine was also kept warm.
Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes were closed. Clearly, he was cultivating silently.
"These days are completely different. I've risked my life just for some food. And food is something this Ying Shan Snow Eagle can obtain easily. " Great Emperor North River had such a mental state. He had just experienced a huge crisis. Seeing how Dongbo Xue Ying was living, he could not help but feel envious and jealous.
"Mn?" Dongbo Xue Ying stopped cultivating. He opened his eyes and glanced at Great Emperor North River who was walking over from the distant corridor, "North River? You actually took the initiative to find me? How rare. "
