When the group heard Xiao Lingyu's question, they instantly reacted. They reckoned that the other party still didn't know their purpose, so one of them stood up and said politely, "We just wanted to find a safe place to spend the night. We didn't want to disturb you, sir. We're very sorry!"
"There are many places to spend the night in this forest. Why did you come to the middle of the cliff? I purposely sealed the entrance of the cave. Not to mention that it's the middle of the night, you can see the cave from afar. "Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Sir, you've misunderstood. We used to hunt in this forest and knew that there was a cave here. That's why we rushed here at this time. Otherwise, we could have gone to find another safe place when the sky was getting dark. "The cultivator shook his head and explained.
"If that's the case, then it really is a misunderstanding."
Xiao Lingyu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll leave this cave to you. I'll go find another place."
Since this place had already been discovered, he naturally wouldn't stay here. He couldn't afford any mishaps during his cultivation this time.
"How can we accept that? It's better for you to stay here. It's late at night and it's very dangerous for you to go out alone. Let's go find another place. After all, we have more people." One of the cultivators waved his hand and said.
"No, I'll leave it to you."
Xiao Lingyu said and jumped onto Foodie's back. Then, he ordered Foodie to run at full speed.
Before the group of cultivators could react, Foodie had already sped away like an arrow, with its back facing the group of cultivators standing together.
"His battle pet can't be underestimated!" One of the cultivators said with a complicated expression.
"He dares to enter the depths of this forest alone. I'm guessing that he's relying on this battle pet!" One of the cultivators guessed.
"To be able to have such a battle pet, his personal strength shouldn't be too bad. Moreover, he didn't show any fear when facing so many of us. He even acted like he was interrogating us. I'm sure he has some tricks up his sleeve. "The leader of the cultivators analyzed calmly.
"Then what should we do?" someone asked.
"I'll send a message to the Family Head first and have the clan send some experts over. We'll just keep an eye on him," the leading cultivator replied after thinking for a moment.
After wandering around the forest for a few more days, Xiao Lingyu once again found a cave with a good location and entered it.
However, before he entered the cave, he had already noticed that someone was following him.
Xiao Lingyu knew that the people following him were the same group of people that he had encountered in the middle of the night. At this moment, he was certain that this group of people did not meet him by chance. They had their eyes on him and most likely did not have good intentions.
These Heavenly Deities would definitely not be able to do anything to Xiao Lingyu. Furthermore, Xiao Lingyu could guess that the Wang Clan most likely knew that he had the body of a Divine Monarch stage Demonic Beast, and thus sent people to assassinate him.
After entering the cave, Xiao Lingyu sealed the entrance as usual. Then, he dug deeper into the cave with the foodie.
He could be trapped in the cave, but he had to leave a way out for himself and create an advantageous terrain for himself.
On the fifth night after entering the cave, the other party finally made a move. Just like the previous time, they easily blasted away the rocks blocking the entrance and rushed into the cave. Furthermore, the number of people had increased from 20 to 40. Among them, there were even two late-stage Heavenly Deities.
However, after entering the cave, although they instantly got into formation, the cave was empty. There was no sign of their target at all. There was only a pitch-black cave of unknown length.
"He must be hiding in there. Let's go in and take a look!"
One of the late-stage Heavenly Deities said as he led everyone into the cave.
The pitch-black cave was considered spacious at first, allowing a dozen people to walk side by side. However, it gradually became narrow.
This narrow cave could only allow one person to pass through at a time. It was dug by Xiao Lingyu alone. At that time, he kept the huge foodie in his Spirit Beast Pouch.
"We can't go any further."
After advancing a few hundred feet in this narrow cave, the leading late-stage Heavenly Deity stopped and said to the people behind him, "This place is too narrow. We can't use our advantage in numbers at all. He only needs one person to guard inside and we can't get close. Moreover, only one person can face him. We'll definitely be at a disadvantage!"
"Then what should we do?" someone asked.
"Quickly retreat. We'll block the entrance and send people to search the surroundings to see if there's an exit," the leading cultivator said.
Thus, the back group became the front group and the group of 40 people turned back.
However, before they could reach the end of this narrow cave, they were already trapped in this cave.
The person who blocked them was naturally Xiao Lingyu.
This narrow cave was actually circular. When these cultivators entered, Xiao Lingyu began to circle around them. No matter whether these cultivators continued to advance or retreat, they would be blocked inside by him.
Xiao Lingyu did not need to be polite to these cultivators. As soon as he arrived, he blasted a few Primal Chaos Seals into the cave. After killing the few people in front of him, he turned the poison in his body into mist and wildly poured it into the cave.
The enemy immediately panicked and charged outside. Unfortunately, Xiao Lingyu and the foodie blocked them outside. They could not charge out at all.
Moreover, Xiao Lingyu used the Saint artifact, the Yin Yang Mirror, to create four monsters that charged in. They could also restrain and kill the enemy.
Although there were 40 of them when they entered, it was difficult for them to work together. When the poisonous mist invaded, apart from the two late-stage Heavenly Deities who were unaffected, the others had to use all their strength to defend themselves.
"Don't rush out in a hurry. Blast the entrance wider!"
After assessing the situation, the late-stage Heavenly Deities reminded everyone. Then, they used all their strength to blast the stone walls on both sides of the narrow cave entrance.
More than 30 Heavenly Deities attacked together. In just a few breaths, the cave became a cave and gradually became wider.
However, at this time, the poisonous mist took away the lives of a few early-stage Heavenly Deities.
There were still about 30 of them. Xiao Lingyu was not confident that he could kill them all here. So, he decisively retreated to the entrance of the cave.
After charging out of this exit, they were in the forest. However, Xiao Lingyu obviously would not let them escape so easily. As he continued to release the poisonous mist, he blasted a few more Primal Chaos Seals into the cave.
It was unknown how many people he killed this time. Xiao Lingyu did not wait for the enemy to charge out. He rode the foodie and left.
Xiao Lingyu did not think that there would be 40 of them, nor did he think that there would be two late-stage Heavenly Deities at the same time. He originally thought that it would be the same 20 people. He thought that he could kill them all and have the opportunity to check their storage magic treasures and investigate their origins. However, it seemed that this was not realistic.
Ten breaths after Xiao Lingyu left, the group of cultivators finally walked out with lingering fear and ashen faces. Moreover, they all scanned their surroundings vigilantly.
There were 40 of them when they came, but now, there were only 18 left. It was a heavy loss.
The late-stage Heavenly Deity in the lead had a livid expression. The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He said furiously, "Continue searching. We must find that guy!"
Although they were not in good condition, the group of cultivators still moved out and searched in all directions.
"Second brother, I don't think that guy is someone we can deal with. He's very experienced in battle, and he's extremely vigilant. He's not easy to deal with," said the other late-stage Heavenly Deity.
"According to reliable information from the clan, he's met with Qi Hongxuan several times in Kun City. Moreover, they seem to have a good relationship. He might be a member of the Qi clan, but he doesn't join them. If that's the case, we have to kill him. Otherwise, won't the Qi clan laugh at us?"
"We have to kill him, but we probably won't be able to do it alone. That was just a direct confrontation, and we lost a dozen people, "said the other person with a bitter smile.
"He had the advantage just now. If it was a direct confrontation, he would definitely be lying on the ground already," said the second brother with great confidence.
"I keep feeling that there's something wrong with that guy. He's not as simple as he seems. First, he has a Heavenly Deity battle pet. Then, he released the toxic mist just now. Then, there are those four phantom monsters that even we can't deal with," reminded the other person with a frown.
"Hehe, fifth brother, why are you getting more and more cowardly? Think about it. If even we can't deal with him, do you want uncle to do it?" said the second brother with a smile.
The person who was called fifth brother didn't know what to say.
Xiao Lingyu did not care about what the enemies thought. He did not run too far away, nor did he run too fast. Instead, he turned back from time to time to look for those people.
Xiao Lingyu still couldn't do anything to late-stage Heavenly Deity cultivators. It was just like how it was difficult for him to kill a late-stage Heavenly Deity demon beast. They had the advantage of speed in front of him and Foodie. At the very least, if they wanted to escape, it would be very difficult for him to stop them.
Therefore, whenever he encountered those two late-stage Heavenly Deity cultivators, he would decisively and quickly retreat. Then, he would wait for an opportunity to kill those below the late-stage Heavenly Deity level.
After circling around the forest for another month, the enemies seemed to have realized that they could not deal with Xiao Lingyu. After losing a few more people, they disappeared without a trace.
It was obvious that the remaining people of the enemy had all returned. However, Xiao Lingyu was also certain that they were sent by the Wang family. This was because he found the Wang family's unique identity jade token on one of the cultivators he killed.
"This time, the Wang family has lost so many Heavenly Deity cultivators to me. There's no way they'll sell the Fortune Lily to me. How should I deal with this?"
Although the enemy had retreated, Xiao Lingyu was still having a headache.
"I should complete my body's transformation first. At least I'll have more strength to face the Wang family."
