After killing his way out, Charcoal was brimming with energy as he traversed the mountains and ravines, crossing rivers and galloping plains. It was as if he would never tire. Of course, this was due to his super strong legs, but at the same time, it was also because he liked the feeling of running with his feet firmly planted on the ground. This feeling of letting loose and galloping was even more to him than flying.
Miao Yi also liked this feeling of indulgence. Previously, there were too many reasons that prevented him from doing as he pleased in the outside world. This time, however, he could truly enjoy himself, especially when he joined forces with Charcoal to charge forward. It felt like he had returned to the feeling he had all those years ago.
However, from the occasional forest and grassland he saw along the way, he knew that it would be difficult to get rid of the Secluded Forest Stronghold. There were people watching him along the way, how could he escape?
As he rode on Charcoal and sprinted all the way, he was waiting. He believed that the Fort Master of the Secluded Forest Stronghold, An Youlin, was about to arrive.
As expected, about four hours later, more than a dozen people flew over from the sky and observed him from the side.
Miao Yi tilted his head to observe them as well. The one leading the group was a woman dressed in a red crystal armor. It was obvious that the armor didn't fit her as it was meant for a man. However, one couldn't be too picky in a place like the Desolate Wastelands. After all, there was a limit to what they could get.
This woman was neither beautiful nor ugly. She had a long face, as if someone owed her money. However, it didn't matter whether they were pretty or not. Even though Miao Yi had only come into contact with these Evil Spirits after coming to the Primordial Wastelands, he had been in the cultivation realm for quite some time now, so he knew the characteristics of these spiritual beings. Before they could take on a human form, they wouldn't be able to differentiate between males and females. When they took on a human form, they would completely change their form based on their needs and preferences. Some Evil Spirits were willing to take on the form of various birds and beasts.
Therefore, the men and women here had no need for lust. For example, the Duke of Black Tiger Stockaded Village who had thirteen concubines was completely imitating the common concept of the cultivators outside. It was just an empty title, and it was more of a symbolic meaning. In fact, they were used as subordinates to help him guard the Nine Mountains and Four Rivers. It had little to do with the love between a man and a woman.
Miao Yi reckoned that even if these Evil Spirits knew about mating, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly. After learning about the situation from Huan Da, he suspected that if these Evil Spirits were to mess around, for example, the killing spirit and the vengeful spirit would mix together. If they really did something like mating, they might end up killing each other.
To put it plainly. The people here, regardless of whether they were men or women, birds or beasts, were all the same thing, evil spirits. There was no distinction between males and females. In fact, Ghost Cultivators were somewhat similar to them. However, the difference between Ghost Cultivators was that before they became Ghost Cultivators, Ghost Cultivators were divided into males and females. They were born with the knowledge of love between men and women.
The White Phoenix was actually a type of spiritual existence, although it had already turned into a woman. However, Miao Yi doubted that the White Phoenix knew anything about the relationship between a man and a woman.
Of course, there was one good thing about these Evil Spirits. No matter how low their cultivation was, they would not age. They would always be the same as they were when they took human form.
Miao Yi's thoughts only lasted for a split second. Judging from the Second Grade Colored Lotus on the scrawny-faced woman's forehead, Miao Yi could roughly guess that she was the one he had been waiting for.
The two men flying beside her were also at the Colored Lotus First Grade, and the group behind them were at least at the Golden Lotus Seventh Grade.
One side was galloping on the ground, while the other was flying in the air. They were both sizing each other up.
"Is that him?" The woman flying in the air turned around and asked.
Behind her, one of the men who had luckily escaped from Miao Yi earlier replied, "Fort Master, that's him. Leader Cong lost his life to this man's spear in a single exchange. He charged through our hundred-man formation in a single breath and instantly killed over a dozen of us with a single swift spear strike. Over a hundred of us couldn't even slow him down for a moment. He's truly fearsome! "
From the way he addressed the man, Miao Yi knew that his guess was correct. This person was the Fort Master of the Secluded Forest Fort, An Youlin.
An Youlin furrowed his brows and asked, "He didn't use any powerful transcendent artifacts?"
The man replied, "He didn't. He simply charged forward with his spear and steed. No one could stop him."
"Hmph!" The Colored Lotus First Grade man on the left scoffed, "You're exaggerating a little too much. He only has a cultivation at the Golden Lotus Ninth Grade. You're not exaggerating to cover up the fact that your side was at a disadvantage, are you? "
The man anxiously said, "Leader Kui, I really didn't. Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the other brothers who were lucky enough to escape. How could Leader Cong's death be faked? Leader Wan … "He looked at the other Colored Lotus First Grade cultivator with pleading eyes, obviously hoping that he could speak up for him.
Leader Wan looked at Lin Youyou and said, "Fort Master, we'll know if it's true or not once we try. It won't be too late to make a decision after we find out how strong he is."
Lin Youyou nodded and said, "That's right! Who's willing to give it a try? "
Leader Wan looked at the other man and calmly said, "Since Leader Kui doesn't believe me, why don't you let Leader Kui's men try? If you think my subordinate is lying, why don't you let Leader Kui's men give it a try? "
Lin Youyou tilted his head and asked, "Leader Kui, are you willing to give it a try?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? I'll go set up the formation and test him out for Fort Master." Leader Kui cupped his fists, then turned to Leader Wan and scoffed.
Lin Youyou reminded, "Look at his extraordinary armor. Even his mount is equipped with such high-grade armor, and he still dares to charge forward. I'm afraid he's no ordinary person. Be careful."
"Yes!" Leader Kui answered and sped up.
Riding on Charcoal's back, Miao Yi would raise his head to look at them from time to time. He had a rough idea of what they were thinking. They were intimidated by his brazen charge, and didn't dare to act rashly without knowing his background. However, they probably wouldn't let him leave the Forest of Darkness so easily, right?
An hour later, his conjecture was confirmed.
As soon as he charged out of a valley, he saw a densely packed group of people waiting on the mountain in front of him. There were probably a few thousand of them.
Leader Kui stood on the main peak opposite him, and behind him were the troops he had gathered.
Lin Youyou raised his hand and hovered in the air, looking down at Miao Yi to see how he would deal with this.
All these years, for the sake of survival, to give his family a good life, and to give his brothers who followed him a good future, Miao Yi had repeatedly sought survival in the face of death, and sought riches in the face of danger. In small battles, he had faced hundreds of people charging at him, and in large battles, he had faced thousands of people. He had also ridden through hundreds of thousands of troops, and even single-handedly killed his way through an army of a million. He had experienced countless bloody battles, big and small, so much so that he couldn't even count them all. How could such a small battle pose a threat to him?
If it were Yang Qing, he wouldn't risk it if he had a way to solve a problem without using force. After all, there were a few Colorful Lotus cultivators eyeing him covetously.
But for Miao Yi, his method of solving problems was different from Yang Qing's.
At this moment, he tapped his heels on Charcoal's abdomen again. Charcoal's pace suddenly quickened, and his speed abruptly increased. He rushed out of the valley, leaving a trail of dust behind him as he charged towards the mountain on the other side.
"Dead or alive. Whoever can keep him here will be handsomely rewarded! "Standing on top of the mountain, the tall and sturdy leader waved his hand and shouted," Kill! "
It was obvious that they were prepared. There were exactly a hundred men. However, they had mobilized their elites, all Golden Lotus cultivators. Unlike the hundred men from before, there were still Purple Lotus and Red Lotus cultivators among them.
"Kill!" Over a hundred men charged out from the top of the mountain, splitting into three layers as they charged down the mountain in a cone-shaped formation. They stuck close to the ground as they charged towards Miao Yi.
Charcoal's eyes shone with excitement, and his speed increased a little.
Miao Yi, who had been holding the spear with one arm, switched to using both hands. The Inversed-Scales Spear's body emitted a bloody aura, and so did the armor on his body.
"AHHH!" A miserable cry rang out.
In that instant, the cone-shaped formation collided with Miao Yi. The leader who had been the first to engage in battle was sent flying. Just like the hundred men from before, it was all over in a single exchange. One man and one steed were like a wooden stake, fiercely crashing into the cone-shaped formation. The formation was thrown into disarray, and screams of agony could be heard. Figures were sent flying everywhere.
Miao Yi's spear was as fast as a violent storm. Charcoal's spiked tail whipped left and right in a frenzy.
Like a wave, he charged through the entire formation. One man and one steed left over twenty men rolling on the ground. His momentum was unstoppable as he charged towards the thousands of men on top of the mountain.
This was a little dazzling to the eyes. Floating in the air, the Forest of Umbra and her entourage gasped. They had seen powerful men before, but they had never seen such a valiant battle prowess. The Forest of Umbra gasped in surprise. "Truly a valiant general. I wonder whose valiant general he is, and why he is here alone. If he can pledge allegiance to my Secluded Forest Stronghold …" She didn't know what terms she could offer to move Miao Yi.
But she knew. If he had such strength, once he obtained sufficient cultivation resources, a small Secluded Forest Stronghold might not be able to satisfy his appetite. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind. How about marrying him? She just didn't know if this person would like this status. If he agreed, she would have to hand over the entire Secluded Forest Stronghold. As long as they had the status of husband and wife, there would be even more benefits when they expanded their territory in the future. It was a very worthwhile deal.
On the other side of the mountain, the expression on the Chief Chieftain's face changed. He believed her now, but he still couldn't figure out her strength!
"Go!" The Chief Chieftain waved his hand, but realized that no one responded. He looked to his left and right and realized that his subordinates all had fearful expressions on their faces. None of them dared to be the first to charge forward.
However, the situation didn't allow him to think too much. One man and one steed were already charging up the mountain. There was no time for him to threaten his subordinates.
He was one of the two Chieftains of the Secluded Forest Stronghold. If he couldn't even defeat a Golden Lotus cultivator with his Cailian cultivation, how could he establish himself in the Secluded Forest Stronghold in the future?
With a wave of his hand, a long saber appeared in his hand. In an instant, he dove down and charged towards Miao Yi from above. With a swing of his arm, he swung his saber wildly, intending to finish the job in one fell swoop and cut Miao Yi down from his horse.
As he charged up, Miao Yi neither dodged nor evaded. He didn't use any transcendent artifacts either. The speed of his spear was as fast as he could control it. A black dot the size of a bean spun on the tip of the Inversed-Scales Spear, brazenly clashing with the long saber that was slashing towards him!
A Golden Lotus cultivator actually dared to fight head-on against a Cailian cultivator!
Countless people held their breaths and widened their eyes as they watched this scene unfold.
'Boom!' An earth-shattering boom resounded. The ground was torn apart, and the surrounding mountains swayed as though they were about to collapse. Dust and smoke rose from the tremors and filled the air.
What shocked everyone was the fact that the saber in the Chief Chieftain's hand was directly knocked out of his hand. His entire body was sent flying back in a daze. Looking at his uncontrollable figure, it was obvious that he had been stunned by the attack.
Miao Yi's figure was also jolted back. However, Charcoal's brute strength was astonishing. He continued to charge up and almost threw Miao Yi off.
After stabilizing himself, Miao Yi suddenly kicked off the black spikes on both sides of Charcoal's abdomen. He leaped up and stepped on Charcoal's head. Using the momentum from Charcoal's fall, Miao Yi quickly leaped out of Charcoal's grasp. Before the Chief Chieftain could recover, Miao Yi thrust his spear forward with one arm. With a 'pu' sound, the spear pierced through the Chief Chieftain's Amethyst Battle Armor, and pierced through his heart. This spear strike was ruthless, steady, and accurate!
Charcoal suddenly leaped up with all his might and caught Miao Yi in midair. The man and steed drew an arc in the air and landed on the peak of the mountain.
Miao Yi dragged his spear to the ground. The Chief Chieftain on top of the spear fell off and rolled down the mountain.
"Aooo!" Charcoal let out a long howl as he circled around the mountain peak to express his excitement.
