Ye Futian's gaze then shifted to another hill. There, a cold gaze swept towards him. It was Shang Hai from the Yunyue Business Alliance.
Shang Hai's eyes were extremely cold. He clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After the battle, he was ignored by his family and his status plummeted.
Coincidentally, his cousin, Shang Yunfeng, had returned. He asked his uncle to let him follow Shang Yunfeng out to train. He had a good relationship with this cousin when he was young, so Shang Yunfeng brought him along. He was prepared to leave the family and follow his cousin to the Divine Sky City. Even if he couldn't enter the Top Three Schools without his cousin's talent, he was willing to explore the Divine Sky City. He didn't plan to return to the family. He knew that his big grandfather didn't like him now.
"What are you looking at?" Next to Shang Hai, a youth slightly older than him asked. Following Shang Hai's gaze, he looked at where Ye Futian was and said, "Those are the people from the Starry School of the Top Three Schools. Wang Yuqing from the Wang Clan is cultivating in the Starry School. She's there now.
"The people beside Wang Yuqing are Ye Futian's group," Shang Hai said coldly.
Shang Yunfeng's eyes flashed and he glanced at Ye Futian's group. His expression was calm. When he returned to the family, he'd heard that his family had been wiped out in the battle of the four clans. This made him very curious. It seemed that there were still talented people in Yunyue City.
"He followed Wang Yuqing. It seems like he wants to use her to enter the Starry School. But it's not that easy. Wang Yuqing is just an ordinary disciple and doesn't have that much power," Shang Yunfeng said emotionlessly. Shang Yunfeng faintly said, "Since he is here, if there is a chance, I will help you get rid of him to untie the knot in your heart."
"Will he get into trouble if he's with the Starry School?" Shang Hai asked.
"He's not a disciple of the Top Three Schools. What trouble can there be?" Shang Yunfeng said casually. The Top Three Schools had a special status in the eastern region of the Barren State. Killing an insignificant person wasn't a problem.
Wang Yuqing and Ye Futian's group also noticed Shang Yunfeng and Shang Hai. Wang Yuqing said to Ye Futian, "That's Shang Yunfeng from the Yunyue Business Alliance, a disciple of the Blazing Sun School."
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded lightly. Then, he saw Shang Yunfeng look away and not look at him anymore. It was obvious that Shang Yunfeng did not care much about him.
As for Shang Hai, who was next to Shang Yunfeng, his eyes were sharp. He did not hide the killing intent in his eyes as he stared at Shang Yunfeng.
Ye Futian glanced at Shang Hai emotionlessly and moved his eyes to the Demon Beast Mountain in front of him. He said, "What kind of spirit herb is the evil dragon guarding? Even the three great sects are mobilizing. "
"Dragon Grass grows with dragons," Wang Yuqing said. "It needs to be nourished with dragon blood, absorbing the essence of the world, the sun, and the moon. This grass is extremely fragile and can only be nourished with dragons. Thus, the three forces have never touched this evil dragon. They just guard this place and forbid others from entering."
"What's the use of it?" Ye Futian asked again. Since Third Brother wanted to take it, it must be beneficial to his cultivation.
"For cultivators, being able to awaken dragon intelligence can directly strengthen and increase their Spiritual Energy," Wang Yuqing said. "For powerful nobles, they don't just care about increasing their Spiritual Energy. They also care about comprehending the world and Spiritual Qi."
"In other words, if a low-level mage were to consume the Dragon Grass, they would have a high chance of breaking through to the next level? Those of a higher plane can increase their comprehension and also have the opportunity to break through to the next plane? "Ye Futian asked.
"You can explain it that way." Wang Yuqing nodded. "That's not all. If the Dragon Grass ripens, all the demons guarding here will benefit."
Ye Futian looked at the countless demons on the mountain in front of him. As the demons got stronger, their spiritual intelligence would also become stronger. Noble-Level demons could already speak the human language.
However, the Dragon Saliva Grass could actually develop spiritual intelligence. No wonder such a crazy situation was formed.
"What do we do now?" Ye Futian asked.
"Wait. The appointed day is today. The cultivators of the Top Three Schools should be here soon," Wang Yuqing said. Ye Futian nodded lightly and didn't ask anything else. He waited quietly.
In the distance, the experts who were not from the Top Three Schools were also waiting. They came here today mainly to see if there were any benefits they could pick up. The Top Three Schools valued the spiritual herbs, but for them, even the demonic beast corpses on the mountain were very precious. Of course, there were also people who wanted to tame the demonic beasts as mounts.
Four hours later, more cultivators descended from the sky. Their auras were terrifying. After they arrived, they glanced around and landed in one direction. The cultivators from the Blazing Sun School were the first to arrive.
Behind them, cultivators from the two camps arrived one after another. They landed in the Bright Moon School and Starry School's camp.
"Master Mu and Senior Brother Tan are here."
The people from the Starry School were all surprised. Among the group, one was older and the other was younger.
The older one was Master Mu, an extremely famous teacher in the Starry School.
The other person seemed very young. He wore a crown and had an extraordinary aura. He was a genius disciple in the school, Tan Zhong. He was very famous in the school. Now, he actually came to the Evil Dragon Zone with Master Mu. It seemed that the Starry School was determined to get the Dragon Grass.
Of course, the Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School's lineups were also very strong. Clearly, the competition would be very intense.
"It's him?"
Tan Zhong glanced at Gu Dongliu who was sitting on the peak and asked Master Yun.
"Yes." Master Yun nodded lightly. Tan Zhong looked into the distance and said loudly, "The Dragon Grass was discovered by the Top Three Schools a long time ago and is guarding it. No matter who you are, please leave and this matter will end here."
In the eastern region of the Barren State, there were very few people who dared to touch the Top Three Schools' items.
On the peak, Gu Dongliu opened his eyes and looked at the Starry School with his deep black eyes. He said indifferently, "The Top Three Schools planted it?"
Tan Zhong frowned. Just then, someone from the Blazing Sun School said, "Although it wasn't planted by the Top Three Schools, they've been guarding it for many days. Naturally, it belongs to them."
"It was born from heaven and earth. Since you didn't pick it, why does it belong to the Top Three Schools? According to your logic, if I were to stand guard outside the Top Three Schools for a few days, would I be able to claim that the Top Three Schools are mine? "Gu Dongliu looked in the direction of the Blazing Sun School. His voice was calm and reasonable.
Many people from the Top Three Schools frowned. Their expressions grew colder. It seemed that this person was determined to take the Top Three Schools' guarding spiritual grass.
Tan Zhong said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you. If you don't leave, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Gu Dongliu looked away and did not look at the people from the Top Three Schools.
At this moment, the roar of a dragon suddenly rang out from the peak of the huge mountain in front of them, shaking the heavens and earth. A terrifying demonic Qi permeated the air, and after that, everyone saw a huge dragon coiling in the air, a pair of cold eyes sweeping over the people who had just arrived.
It was a dark demon dragon. However, on its huge body, the dark dragon roar had a dark golden luster, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying.
Its eyes were filled with ferocity. The Dragon Grass was almost ripe now, but these damned human cultivators had come to steal it. How despicable.
"It seems to be a cave." Ye Futian looked at the circling dragon. It had come from the inside of the mountain.
"Whoever wants to steal my spiritual grass, I'll destroy it," the dragon said in a human voice. This evil dragon actually spoke in a human voice. Its tone was stiff and cold, and there was a hint of threat in it. Clearly, it knew what these humans wanted, so it threatened them with spiritual herbs.
"The spiritual grass is yours even if you don't steal it. Even if you destroy it, at least we can take your body away. What do you think you should choose?" A strong cultivator glanced at the dragon and said coldly, "You've done too much evil. Leave this place and scram to the Demon World. We'll spare your life."
With that, the strong cultivators from the Top Three Schools stepped into the air and approached the peak of the mountain. Someone glanced at Gu Dongliu and asked coldly, "Are you sure you won't scram?"
Gu Dongliu opened his eyes and glanced at the person coldly. He still sat there without moving.
"Let's get rid of this person first," someone said. Then, the sun was high up in the sky. An elder from the Blazing Sun School held a sun sword in his hand. The sunlight shone on the sword and it slashed down in Gu Dongliu's direction. A fiery red flash of the sword appeared in the sky, burning everything in its path.
The attack was extremely fast. Gu Dongliu had stood up at some point. He stepped forward and a dazzling light flashed under his feet. Like lightning, he shifted his position.
The sword slashed down and split the peak in half. The crack in the middle of the peak was burning with flames, but Gu Dongliu stood quietly at the side.
The strong cultivator from the Blazing Sun School continued to slash with the Sword of the Sun. This time, rays of sunlight pierced through the sky, sealing the entire space.
Gu Dongliu's body turned into a series of afterimages. Dazzling light shone under his feet. When he stepped, thunderous sounds could be heard. His body actually passed through the Sword of the Sun. His movements were extremely exquisite.
"Such exquisite footwork," someone praised. However, Ye Futian knew that this was the Thunder Illusion Step that his teacher had taught him. He had also cultivated it.
The strong cultivators from the Blazing Sun School continued to attack. However, Gu Dongliu only dodged and did not counterattack. Seeing this, the strong cultivator from the Blazing Sun School frowned and said, "His movements are amazing. If he tries to dodge, it'll be very difficult to kill him. Let's not waste time. The Top Three Schools will each send someone to block him outside and attack directly."
The people from the Top Three Schools had no objections. Then, a strong cultivator from each school walked out and faced Gu Dongliu. The remaining strong cultivators headed towards the peak of the mountain.
"We'll attack from inside the mountain," a few Noble cultivators from the Starry School said.
The strong cultivators from the Top Three Schools had to deal with the dragon and could not completely anger it. Otherwise, the dragon would destroy the spiritual grass and all their efforts would be in vain.
