Facing the Blue Emperor Luan's question, Ye Qinghan did not hesitate and immediately replied, "Lord Blue Emperor Luan, I helped you out of my own selfishness. First, I wanted to obtain the Fire Worm's inner core. Secondly, I wanted to help you. As for helping you, I believe that you are not an ordinary bird. You have already transcended the mortal world. Your intelligence is higher than humans, and you have feelings. Moreover, you spared my life before, so consider it as me repaying your kindness."
Ye Qinghan's answer was flawless. The Blue Emperor Luan felt comfortable listening to it, but it did not feel that he was flattering it.
The Blue Emperor Luan nodded and then continued to retreat into the depths of its nest, no longer caring about Ye Qinghan.
The other three had almost been killed this time. Their internal organs had been displaced, and it took them more than ten days to wake up.
At this time, Ye Qinghan was guarding the three of them. He did not even have time to refine the inner cores.
"How do you feel now?" Ye Qinghan immediately asked when he saw the three of them wake up.
Fan Yin stretched her body, her lazy expression was very charming, and her figure was clearly visible. She opened her blurry eyes and asked painfully, "You bastard, you've caused me so much trouble. How long have I been unconscious?"
Ye Qinghan smiled and said, "It's only been ten days, but I gained the friendship of Lord Blue Emperor Luan and also obtained two Fire Worm's inner cores. It was worth it."
"You little bastard, it was worth it. The three of us were almost killed by you." Zhang Yingshi smiled bitterly.
Ye Qinghan shrugged and smiled flatteringly, "Everyone, don't be angry. A thousand Heavenly Sacred Stones per person. That should be enough to heal your broken hearts, right?"
A thousand Heavenly Sacred Stones was enough to invite the strongest Eternal Saint of a holy land to act more than ten times, let alone the three of them. Thus, Zhang Yingshi and the Son of Battle had nothing to say. Only Fanyin did not hold back and scolded Ye Qinghan.
"You idiot, next time you risk your life for resources, I'll kill you with a single punch! Don't drag us down with you. "Fanyin raised her fist and threatened.
Ye Qinghan rolled his eyes.
The Progeny of War and Zhang Yingshi stretched their bodies and stood up. They had recovered ninety percent of their divine energy, but their souls were still exhausted.
At this moment, the Blue Emperor Luan spoke up. "Since you've recovered, then leave. There's no more debt between us."
Ye Qinghan bowed respectfully and replied, "Thank you, Lord Luan, for taking me in for so many days. I still owe you. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay you. I will take my leave now."
The Blue Emperor Luan's eyes stared at Ye Qinghan. Finally, it warned, "Human, it's best if you don't swallow the Fire Hornless Core at this time. The Fire Poison and Fire Essence within the Fire Hornless Core will instantly kill you. If you want to swallow the Fire Hornless Core, wait until your cultivation reaches the upper realm."
Ye Qinghan frowned slightly. The Blue Emperor Luan's warning was not just for show. He had wanted to wait for the three of them to wake up before swallowing one of their inner elixirs, but it seemed like he was overthinking.
"Thank you, Lord Luan, for your reminder. I understand." Ye Qinghan said seriously.
The Blue Emperor Luan pondered for a moment and reminded, "If you want to swallow the Fire Hornless Core earlier, there is another way. That is to kill a top-grade water-type Saint Beast and take its water-type inner elixir. Then, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. It will allow your cultivation to take another step forward."
Ye Qinghan smiled bitterly. Fighting a top-grade water-type Saint Beast in the sea was tantamount to suicide.
The four of them retreated, leaving the Blue Emperor Luan standing in the air, watching them leave.
…
Ye Qinghan, Fan Yin, and the others walked in the mountains in a low-key manner, continuing to search for treasures and herbs. However, they still did not find any Immortal herbs.
The most important reason for coming to Coiling Dragon Island was to find Immortal herbs!
The Gold Devouring Toad, Divine Bird, and Little Money Grubber were all free to search for treasures.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh — — —
The Star-twining Vine's countless vines stretched out endlessly, escorting the Divine Bird and Little Money Grubber. It was even more worried about their safety than Ye Qinghan.
The little Divine Bird was relatively lazy. Its little claws tightly clutched onto Ye Qinghan's Daoist robes. It lay on all fours, drowsy.
The four of them entered the depths of the island. About half a day later, the Star-twining Vine quickly responded.
Ye Qinghan's eyes flashed. He smiled wickedly and said, "We found two upper level Blood Robed Guards. It's a good opportunity to find out Xia Jiulong's arrangements and how many people he brought."
Zhang Yingshi nodded. He thought for a moment and said, "The upper level Blood Robed Guards are extremely vigilant. I'm afraid our position will be exposed before we even get close. We have to be careful."
The four of them discussed and decided that Zhang Yingshi and the Son of Battle would team up, while Fan Yin and Ye Qinghan would team up. Two against one, they would launch a sneak attack!
The four of them charged towards the north at an extremely fast speed. They hid within the mountain range and retracted their auras as they got closer and closer to the two Blood Robed Guards.
The two powerful Blood Robed Guards were also extremely careful. They advanced step by step as they searched for Ye Qinghan's position. However, they didn't expect that Ye Qinghan's' eyes' were already not too far away from them. The Star-twining Vine was like an ordinary vine wrapped around a mountain, overlooking them. Their every move was' seen 'by Ye Qinghan.
The distance between the two sides was less than a thousand meters. Ye Qinghan had them under his control, but they had no idea.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The four of them charged forward once more. They could clearly see with the naked eye that they were moving along the mountain valley's walls.
Ye Qinghan whispered, "Let's pincer them from both sides and subdue them as quickly as possible. We must not give them any time to transmit a signal."
The four of them exchanged glances. Ye Qinghan headed towards the valley's entrance, the Son of Battle moved towards the valley's exit, Fan Yin remained in place, and Zhang Yingshi moved towards the opposite valley. They were surrounded on all sides. They moved slowly, not daring to be careless.
Whoosh!
The four of them took their positions. Ye Qinghan gripped the Gravity Frenzy, three silver needles appeared in Zhang Yingshi's hands, Fan Yin's String Thread wrapped around his fingers, and the Son of Battle's scimitar shone brightly in the sunlight.
Whoosh!
Ye Qinghan moved, slashing his scimitar at one of the Upper Level experts.
Fan Yin swooped down from the sky, the String Thread heading straight for the Upper Level expert's throat.
Boom!
Whoosh!
Ye Qinghan's scimitar cut through the entire valley. It swept through everything, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the Blood Robed Guard.
The Blood Robed Guard was shocked. He hurriedly pulled out his sword to block, but how could his Upper Level Sacred Artifact resist the Gravity Frenzy, which was an Eternal Sacred Artifact? His divine sword was cut in half, and the Gravity Frenzy tore through his defenses. Meanwhile, Fan Yin's String Thread wrapped around his throat.
Whoosh!
The String Thread cut through his throat, and the Gravity Frenzy tore through his abdomen. An expert of a generation was instantly split into three.
On the other side, the Son of Battle and Zhang Yingshi attacked at the same time. The Son of Battle's scimitar pierced through the Blood Robed Guard's armor, but the Blood Robed Guard's divine sword pierced through his shoulder blade. Meanwhile, Zhang Yingshi's three silver needles pierced the Blood Robed Guard's sea of consciousness, completely restraining him.
In the blink of an eye, one of the Blood Robed Guards was dead and the other was injured!
Zhang Yingshi controlled the injured Blood Robed Guard's soul and forcefully devoured his memories. He quickly found the memories of this operation.
"They have around three hundred Upper Level experts. Half of them are Blood Robed Guards, and there are also bounty hunters, the Holy Empire's Ten Great Divine Generals, Xuan Xiu, and Xia Jiulong. However, they took the blame for us twice and lost around a hundred of them. Now, there are less than two hundred left." Zhang Yingshi's expression changed slightly. "There are still over seventy Blood Robed Guards scattered in groups of two. They're currently searching for us."
Ye Qinghan licked his teeth and snorted. "Since they've split up, they're giving us a chance. As long as we find these seventy Blood Robed Guards, they'll be nothing more than food. With the four of us working together, killing them will be a piece of cake."
"That's right! If we kill all the Blood Robed Guards, their losses won't be small, "Fan Yin said excitedly.
Zhang Yingshi smiled bitterly. "This time, we've really offended the Holy Empire."
The Son of Battle shrugged. "The Holy Empire can't take revenge on us for such a shady matter."
