135: Little slut

After half an hour, everyone had rested, those with minor injuries were simply treated, and those with severe injuries could only be left to fend for themselves.

Xu Sanyan already had a clear idea of them; there were twenty-three people remaining, seven of whom were at Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, and the rest were all at Foundation Establishment Early-stage.

Their strength was slightly greater than when Luo Yu was present.

After Luo Yu's death, there was an additional Demonic Seed slot, and Xu Sanyan could now plant three more Demonic Seeds.

Meng Zhuer did not die because he felt that the Demonic Seeds were temporarily sufficient, so he spared her life for now; it was also good to have a loyal maid serving by his side.

At this moment, Xiang Tan slowly woke up, her eyes scanning around in a daze, and she murmured indistinctly, "Did Senior Brother Zhou win?"

The reason she guessed Zhou Longsheng won was that if Luo Yu had won, she might not have had a chance to wake up again.

Chi Yu looked over, feeling a slight surprise in his heart. Among everyone present, Xiang Tan belonged to the group with the lowest cultivation and strength. Many people stronger than her had died, yet she unexpectedly survived until the end.

"Senior Brother Xu won." Chi Yu pulled Xiang Tan up.

"Senior... Brother Xu?" Xiang Tan blinked, "Who is that?"

"Me."

Xu Sanyan patted Xiang Tan's cheek with a faint smile, finding her bewildered expression amusing, but he did not explain. He turned to Chi Yu, "Junior Brother Chi, what are your plans next?"

Xu Sanyan had not made any preparations for the Saint position, but he believed Luo Yu must have made many preparations, and Chi Yu, being Luo Yu's confidant, surely knew a lot.

Chi Yu pointed in a direction and said, "Four hundred li further from here, there is an ancient ruin. Although there aren't any treasures, Senior Brother Luo... Luo Yu speculated that the three Hall Masters would most likely place a saint child token there."

Xu Sanyan nodded, "Good, then let's set off!"

Everyone followed Xu Sanyan, striding forward.

Xiang Tan pursed her lips. She still hadn't figured out what had happened. How did Xu Sanyan become the leader?

So she quietly followed someone she knew, tugged at their sleeve, and whispered, "Junior Sister Chu, what happened after I fainted?"

Junior Sister Chu glanced at Xiang Tan's disheveled clothes, and a hint of jealousy made her secretly curse, 'Little hussy, you've really hit the jackpot this time. You've seduced Senior Brother Xu, and if you perform well, you might actually have a chance to get out alive.'

But she certainly couldn't say that. Junior Sister Chu organized her words and said, "Senior Brother Xu is a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator; his Physical Body is incredibly tough. He ambushed and killed Luo Yu, and now we are all following Senior Brother Xu."

"Ah?" Xiang Tan was stunned, she slapped her cheek hard, suspecting she was still dreaming.

"I heard Senior Sister and Senior Brother Xu have a very good relationship?" Junior Sister Chu asked.

"Ah... it's alright." Xiang Tan did not deny it, then added, "It's a relationship where we know each other's depths and lengths."

Junior Sister Chu became even more jealous, but she kept a smile on her face, "Then Senior Sister, you must help me get an introduction! Junior Brother Xu's origin is mysterious, and no one knows his background. Does Senior Sister know?"

Xiang Tan had already sobered up and knew that Junior Sister Chu was trying to pry for information in a roundabout way, but she didn't know either.

But Xiang Tan naturally couldn't show her weakness. After a slight hesitation, she said, "Sorry, Junior Sister Chu, Senior Brother Xu doesn't let me talk about it."

This remark, heard by Junior Sister Chu, further confirmed that Xiang Tan must know something. No wonder the two of them were so intimate before.

Little hussy, she's quite tight-lipped, hmph!

Junior Sister Chu, with a smile on her face, put her arm around Xiang Tan, whispering a few words from time to time, looking like good sisters.

Xu Sanyan walked at the very front, followed by Chi Yu and the Jin Family Brothers, Jin Feng and Jin Ming.

These two, Jin Feng and Jin Ming, were blood brothers, Jin Feng being the elder and Jin Ming the younger. It was precisely they who had cooperated with Chi Yu to control the Dragon Capturing Net and capture Zhou Longsheng.

The Jin Family Brothers were both at Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivation, with minds in sync and impressive combat power, considered a major asset to Luo Yu.

Xu Sanyan, in front of the three, opened Luo Yu's Storage Pouch and immediately saw the Stone General.

Xu Sanyan had a deep impression of this item; it possessed combat power comparable to a Foundation Establishment Mid-stage and could be put to use.

Next, he saw the compass. He poured his spiritual power into it, and three needles swayed, the longest one pointing straight ahead.

Chi Yu, seeing this, quickly said, "Senior Brother Xu, let's take a detour."

Xu Sanyan turned to look at him, waiting for his explanation.

Chi Yu pointed at the longest needle on the compass and said, "These three needles correspond to Demonic Beasts of different Realms. The longest one represents a Mystic Path Realm Demonic Beast, the middle one represents Foundation Establishment, and the shortest one represents below Foundation Establishment."

Xu Sanyan understood, gently caressing the compass; it truly was a good treasure.

"Is there no way to detect above Mystic Path Realm?" Xu Sanyan asked.

Chi Yu shook his head, "Sixth-tier Demonic Beasts are equivalent to Soul Refinement Realm Cultivators. They have already developed intelligence, and their cleverness is no less than that of humans. They know how to conceal their auras, making them difficult to detect easily."

Xu Sanyan slowly nodded, taking a detour according to the compass's instructions.

It was best to avoid provoking Mystic Path Realm Yao Beasts; even all of them combined would probably not be their match.

He handed the compass to Chi Yu, letting him lead the way. Xu Sanyan continued to search Luo Yu's Storage Pouch and found a porcelain bottle. He gently shook it, and the sound of liquid colliding inside could be heard.

"Do any of you recognize this item?" Xu Sanyan asked.

Jin Feng took it, opened the stopper, and sniffed; a strong 腥臭味 assailed his nostrils.

"It should be some kind of beast blood," Jin Feng guessed.

"Beast blood?"

Xu Sanyan was puzzled, "What did Luo Yu want this for?"

Chi Yu said, "Senior Brother Xu, you may not know, but the beast blood of powerful Demonic Beasts will attract the covetousness of surrounding Demonic Beasts. If this beast blood is from a sixth-tier Demonic Beast, Demonic Beasts within a hundred li radius will become restless."

Xu Sanyan understood. It seemed Luo Yu truly put a lot of thought into this Saint Child Competition.

There were also some miscellaneous items in the Storage Pouch that Xu Sanyan wasn't interested in studying. The most valuable among them were the Stone General, the directional compass, the beast blood, and the now- 廢 Dragon Capturing Net.

Each of these items was quite valuable. Luo Yu had exhausted his savings for them. The most expensive was undoubtedly the Dragon Capturing Net. According to Chi Yu, this treasure cost Luo Yu eighty percent of his merits and a good deal of Spirit Stones to acquire.

Next, he opened Zhou Longsheng's Storage Pouch. He also had made many preparations; he too had a directional compass.

There was also a set of Formation Flags, a total of eight small flags and one large flag. The large flag was used to control the Formation.

Xu Sanyan inquired and learned that this was a defensive Formation called the "Eight Directions God Locking Formation." Once set up, even a Soul Cultivator would find it difficult to break through.

The drawback was that it needed to be set up in advance, and it could only defend, not attack.

It seemed Zhou Longsheng truly cherished his life.

The remaining Spirit Stones of the two were not much, less than two hundred combined; most of them had been spent.

As the sky gradually brightened, the group had walked through the night.

Because there were many Demonic Beasts in Wanmo Mountain, they could only proceed cautiously. With their Foundation Establishment cultivation, they had only walked less than two hundred li.

At this moment, a melodious female voice came from the front-side, "Are you Senior Brothers from Red Dragon Mountain? May I ask if it's Senior Brother Luo or Senior Brother Zhou?"
