Lian Hua naturally would not object.
After all, Victor had told her that she did not need to take the Turtle Breath Pill and that she could just enter the Small World.
Compared to becoming a living dead after taking the Turtle Breath Pill, the second method was obviously more humane.
This could also be considered Victor’s favoritism.
After everyone swallowed the Turtle Breath Pill, they all entered their storage rings and were kept by Victor. Only Lian Hua was kept by Victor into the Small World.
“We can leave now, senior sister.”
“Sigh, if it weren’t for the order of the sect, I would never have agreed to take the risk. Your strength is still a problem.”
“This is the order of the sect.”
Victor shook his head, he continued, “If it were possible, I would also like to stay in the sect and cultivate in peace. But since I’ve entered the inner sect and become the disciple of the great elder, I should take on this responsibility. Be it now or during the beast tide, this is my responsibility.”
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you take on this responsibility.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
Victor chuckled, his clear eyes staring straight at Nalan Lengling. He said word by word, “It’s my honor to be able to fight side by side with senior sister.”
After saying that, Victor no longer looked at Nalan Lengling’s reaction. He continued to head towards the source of the beast tide.
Four hours later!
As they sped along, Victor and Nalan Lengling finally noticed some abnormalities.
Not far away, there were a large number of high-level demon beasts gathered. Their talisman edict’s target, the Three-deaded Demonic Leopards, was also among them.
“There are too many of them. All of them are high-level demon beasts,” Nalan Lengling said in a low voice.
“It seems that a mountain treasure has really appeared in the world.”
“But, why are the demon beasts interested in the mountain treasure?”
“It’s hard to say. The mountain treasure might be a treasure, immortal grass, or a living being. It’s not worth investigating why the demon beasts are interested in it. The important thing is that we have the advantage now, but we are blocked by this group of demon beasts. When the other forces rush here, our advantage will disappear.”
“Then what should we do now?”
Nalan Lengling was very surprised. Usually, no matter what situation she encountered, she would be able to calmly think of a solution.
However, after spending so much time with Victor, she began to rely more and more on the latter. Even she herself did not notice this.
“Now that things have come to this, we can only wait for the beast herd to disperse or for other forces to intervene. Then we will wait for an opportunity to make our move.
“Also, senior sister, I will send a voice transmission to the great elder. We will not meet up with the other disciples of the sect.”
“Why? The Fire Sect is only a second-rate sect. Our strength is not good enough. Moreover, you are only at the foundation establishment realm. If we don’t meet up with them, our chances will be even slimmer.”
“Senior sister, sometimes, strength doesn’t mean everything. Think about it. What is the strongest force in the Hundred Thousand Mountain?”
“Of course it’s the Yellow Spring Bandit Clan. Their leader is rumored to be a top expert of the soul formation realm.”
“That’s impossible. How can a soul formation realm cultivator come from the Central Plains? A nascent soul realm cultivator would be more reasonable.”
“Besides, since senior sister also knows that the strongest force is the Yellow Spring Bandit Clan, do you think that they’ll be the ones who take the treasures in the end?”
“That’s not possible. In the end, the bandits are an evil force that is not recognized by the Central Plains Sect Alliance. It’s impossible for them to hand over the mountain treasure to someone else.”
“Look, in the entire Central Plains, who can be more powerful than the Central Plains Sect Alliance?
“Joining them would naturally bring us benefits, but in my opinion, the bigger the team, the more troublesome it is.”
“I understand.”
Nalan Lengling was not a fool. Victor only needed to give her a slight reminder and she would naturally understand his thoughts.
In terms of power, no matter how strong they were, they would not be able to defeat the Central Plains Sect Alliance. Since that was the case, it was better to find another way.
“Someone is here.”
At the right time, Nalan Lengling reminded him. Just as she finished speaking, over ten figures suddenly appeared. The leader was the head of the thirteen altar masters of the Central Plains Sect Alliance was Gongye Yuyu.
“Why is he here?”
Looking at the figure in white, Nalan Lengling frowned, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
“Senior sister, do you know him?”
“We’ve met once before. Of course, I remember him, but he might not remember me.”
“Since we have nothing to do, why don’t you tell me?”
“Two years ago, when the Fire Sect just joined the Central Plains Sect Alliance. At that time, I was just a foundation establishment cultivator like you. Gongye Yuyu was already one of the altar masters of the Central Plains Sect Alliance.
“In terms of strength, Gongye Yuyu was completely inferior to the other twelve altar masters. Even now, he’s only a core formation realm cultivator.
“However, what really makes people fear him is not his strength, but his almost demonic schemes!”
“His intelligence is demon-like?”
“His intelligence is above demon-like.”
Hearing such a high evaluation, Victor frowned.
“How can you say that?”
“At that time, not long after the establishment of the Central Plains Sect Alliance, many forces were dissatisfied. They thought that the Central Plains Sect Alliance’s ambition was to dominate the Central Plains. At that time, Gongye Yuyu had just been born and was only at the foundation establishment realm.
“He volunteered himself, thinking that he could solve the current predicament of the Central Plains Sect Alliance. Then, he led the forces within the Central Plains Sect Alliance and used both kindness and power to unite and conquer, allowing the Central Plains Sect Alliance to completely gain a foothold in the Central Plains and become a top force in one fell swoop.
“During that battle, 13 forces had completely disappeared, 15 second-rate sects fell back to the third-rate, 19 third-rate forces fell back to the last-rate, and two first-rate forces were annexed and suppressed. His methods were very exaggerated.”
“This person is so troublesome, why didn’t anyone kill him?”
Victor could not understand. Find a killer from the Blood Cloth House. He was only at the foundation establishment realm, he did not even need a purple-clothed assassin to kill him.
“If someone wants to kill him, there will naturally be people who want him to live. Today, Gongye Yuyu has been able to sit in this position for nearly 70 years, he naturally has his reasons.
“Gongye Yuyu’s position in the Central Plains Sect Alliance is not inferior to the four great generals. If he was killed, half of the forces would immediately jump out to divide the Central Plains Sect Alliance. Therefore, although there were people who hated him to the bone, they had no choice but to let him live.”
“I understand. He is too awesome and the others can’t bear to kill him, right?”
“Vulgar! But, that’s roughly what it means.”
“I see. So, as long as we kill him, the Central Plains Sect Alliance will be crippled?”
“I advise you not to be delusional. Do you see the three people beside him? They are all nascent soul realm cultivators. Under their protection, even getting close to them is a problem, not to mention killing him.”
Nalan Lengling shook her head and then solemnly resisted Victor. No matter what happened, she absolutely could not provoke Gongye Yuyu!
Otherwise, she would not even know how she would die!
However, in Victor’s eyes, it was too exaggerated.
He had always firmly believed that in front of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks could not withstand a single blow.
