147: Chapter 147 King-level Monster Riot

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

The tremors from deep within the dense forest continued, growing stronger and stronger.

Fire Qingrou’s expression changed, and she immediately looked at Zhang Bufan, asking nervously, “Senior Brother, what’s happening?”

“King-level Demon Beasts,” Zhang Bufan said calmly, withdrawing his gaze.

“What? Didn’t they say King-level Demon Beasts were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns even in the King’s Relics? How could so many appear at once?”

Fire Qingrou was shocked. Deep within the dense forest, roars echoed continuously, and there was more than one; there were at least seven or eight of them.

“I’m not sure. There are indeed several restless fellows inside, driving other Yao Beasts to flee in all directions,” Zhang Bufan shook his head, explaining softly.

Hearing the ground tremors continuously intensifying, Fire Qingrou’s face turned somewhat grim. She asked uncertainly, “Are these King-level Demon Beasts going to start a beast tide? But what would be their purpose in doing so?”

According to those who had previously entered the King’s Relics, King-level Demon Beasts did exist there, but very few people had seen them, at most one or two.

As long as one didn’t enter their territory deep within the dense forest, they generally wouldn’t be encountered. However, judging by the locations of those beast roars, they were not from the deepest part of the forest.

So why were these King-level Demon Beasts running outside? Was it to hunt other Yao Beasts?

Or was it to hunt the Cultivators who entered the Relics this time to search for treasures?

Fire Qingrou’s expression was solemn as she softly asked, “Senior Brother, if we encounter a King-level Demon Beast, do you have a plan?”

Although King-level Demon Beasts correspond to the King Sealing Realm of humans, Yao Beasts possess powerful physiques. Under the same Realm, humans are generally no match for Yao Beasts, unless they are a Genius or Prodigy.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine,” Zhang Bufan said casually.

Not to mention King-level Demon Beasts, even if they were Emperor-level, he wouldn't be afraid. If they were Imperial-level, then it would be uncertain.

Fire Qingrou knew Zhang Bufan was very strong, but she didn’t know exactly how strong. However, seeing Zhang Bufan’s composed demeanor, she felt a little relieved. But then she suddenly thought of Shi Xiaozhan, and her face turned grim as she anxiously said, “Senior Brother, now that Yao Beasts are rioting everywhere, will Junior Brother and the others be in danger?”

“If it’s just Yao Beasts, he’s with Baldy, so they should be fine,” Zhang Bufan wasn’t worried at all about Shi Xiaozhan and the others encountering Yao Beast attacks. If they were low-level Yao Beasts, he couldn’t say for sure, but those Advanced Yao Beasts that had developed some intelligence would definitely not be able to withstand Baldy’s Bloodline suppression. Zhang Bufan had already witnessed this in the Wanfeng Mountain Range.

When they separated from Shi Xiaozhan at the entrance, Zhang Bufan had seen Baldy clutching Shi Xiaozhan’s shoulder tightly. He knew without a doubt that those two fellows should be together now.

“Why?” Fire Qingrou asked, puzzled.

“Baldy’s Bloodline is very powerful and has a suppressive effect on those strong Yao Beasts. You don’t need to worry,” Zhang Bufan explained, then looked in the direction of the beast roars. “Let’s go take a look.”

With that, Zhang Bufan immediately headed in that direction.

Fire Qingrou shook her head and closely followed Zhang Bufan. She trusted Zhang Bufan implicitly. Since Zhang Bufan said it was fine, she had nothing to worry about.

The beast roars were continuous, and the ground tremors were steadily increasing, not just in one place, but it seemed the entire Relics were shaking.

Somewhere in the dense forest.

Nangong Yuyan looked in a certain direction, her brows tightly furrowed.

“Young Miss, what exactly happened?” Xiao Ling asked, her face pale.

“I don’t know what happened either,” Nangong Yuyan shook her head, her expression solemn. “But it’s not a good thing. The roaring Yao Beast’s strength has reached the King-level.”

“What?” Xiao Ling’s face changed dramatically, and she anxiously said, “Young Miss, why don’t we find a place to hide? What if we encounter a King-level Demon Beast?”

“Don’t worry!” Nangong Yuyan smiled and patted Xiao Ling’s head, giving her a reassuring look. “Let’s go take a look. Maybe there are some treasures there!”

“No, absolutely not! If something happens to you, how will I explain it to the Patriarch?” Xiao Ling spread her arms, blocking Nangong Yuyan, shaking her head like a rattle-drum.

“Relax, with me here, you can rest assured,” Nangong Yuyan pinched Xiao Ling’s rosy cheeks, then, with a flash, appeared not far away.

“Young Miss…” Xiao Ling stomped her foot in frustration and quickly followed her.

…

In front of Bai Yijian, a purple-robed youth from the Wanbao Pavilion faction was kneeling.

The youth was covered in blood, his expression vacant, and blood and saliva continuously overflowed from his mouth, looking utterly miserable.

“I’ll give you release,” Bai Yijian said, then raised a hand, and a Sword Qi shot out, instantly causing the purple-robed youth’s entire head to explode.

Fang Lin looked at Bai Yijian and asked, “How is it, Senior Brother Bai? Did you find any trace of that kid?”

“No, the tracking jade tokens given to them by Wanbao Pavilion cannot confirm the holder’s information,” Bai Yijian shook his head. He had finally encountered someone from the Wanbao Pavilion faction and thought he could find out Zhang Bufan’s exact location, but after a soul search, he was greatly disappointed.

“Then should we continue searching for that kid?” Fang Lin asked.

They had been following Bai Yijian to search for that kid named Zhang Bufan and hadn’t had a chance to search for Heaven And Earth Treasure. Although they didn’t say it, they were somewhat dissatisfied, but due to Bai Yijian’s status and strength, they didn’t dare to show it.

“Search! If I don’t kill that kid, I swear I’m not human,” Bai Yijian looked at the several Junior Brothers who followed him and said coldly, “I know you all want to search for Opportunity. I can understand that. Now, if anyone is unwilling to come with me, you can leave on your own.”

Several Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples lowered their heads, weighing the pros and cons.

An Shi hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Bai, what are you saying? Since we chose to train with you, we follow your lead. Anyway, there are still so many days left. Let’s find that kid and kill him first, then slowly search for Opportunity.”

“I agree,” Zhang Bing also quickly echoed.

The other Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples, seeing that Fang Lin and Zhang Bing had expressed their stance, also nodded in agreement.

“Yes, Senior Brother Bai, we all listen to you.”

“Very good,” Bai Yijian nodded in satisfaction. “Don’t worry. After we kill that kid, I’ll take you to search for Opportunity. I will definitely not treat you unfairly then.”

Just then, the roar of a Yao Beast came from deep within the dense forest.

Bai Yijian glanced at that place, his expression uncertain.

“Senior Brother Bai, I feel that Yao Beast is terrifying,” Fang Lin said with a terrified expression.

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

The ground was shaking.

“Not good, it’s a beast tide! Quick, follow me!” Bai Yijian called out and hurriedly ran towards a certain direction.
