118: The Nightmare of Monsters

Several days passed in succession.

The intense commotion in the inner regions of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains finally came to a halt.

"Damned human bugs! Don't let me run into you again!"

The Giant Python let out a hideous roar and left the place indignantly to return to its own territory.

Many other Yao Beasts that had chased them from the outer regions were with him.

For several days, not only had they failed to catch Mo Tianxiao and his companion, they had even lost track of them.

The little bugs' strength wasn't much, but their ability to flee left the beasts shocked.

Making such a racket in the inner region for several days had already displeased some of the big shots there; if they continued the pursuit, they would likely be taught a lesson by those Yao Beast overlords.

A two-thousand-year-old blood lingzhi was indeed very attractive to them, but such Heaven And Earth Treasures could still be found if one searched carefully within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

There was no need to cause unpleasantness with the inner region's Yao Beast overlords over two humans; if they accidentally provoked those big shots, they might end up becoming food themselves.

While the Yao Beasts of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were united against outsiders, internally they still adhered to the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest.

Without a powerful Bloodline, one could only rely on strength as the ultimate authority.

"Stupid snake, you didn't believe me when I said you were an idiot. You even let your own mushroom get snatched away, and by two weakling humans at that. You're a total disgrace to us Yao Beasts!"

Beside the giant snake, a Lone Wolf stuck out its tongue, its eyes filled with blatant mockery.

He had also chased them in from the outer regions, but unfortunately, he hadn't been able to catch up to the two humans either.

"Humph, you talk as if you're so capable. Weren't you just like me, unable to even catch a whiff of those two little bugs' farts?"

The giant snake shot a displeased glance at the Lone Wolf, then twisted its massive body and headed back toward the outer regions.

With his strength, he could have found a decent territory even in the inner region.

However, by comparison, he still preferred the peaceful, secluded life of the outer regions, where he could occasionally find a few blind little bugs to toy with for fun.

Hearing this, the Lone Wolf followed along, a human-like smile appearing on its face. "Don't be angry. We're brothers, aren't we? I remember you still have a Thousand-year-old Red Spirit Fruit. Where are you hiding it? Let me have a look."

"Get lost! That's prepared for the Little Princess!" the giant snake cursed, roaring without looking back.

Upon hearing the giant snake's words, the Lone Wolf immediately fell silent.

Since it was for the Little Princess, he didn't dare harbor any designs on it.

"Speaking of which, it's almost time. I need to prepare a gift as well."

The Lone Wolf muttered to itself, "If the Little Princess comes to the outer regions and robs us, it would be too embarrassing to have nothing to give."

After several hours had passed since the Yao Beasts left, the lush leaves trembled slightly, and two figures emerged.

"We finally shook off those big idiots."

Mo Tianxiao held his breath to sense the surroundings. After finding no other Yao Beast auras, a smile appeared on his face as he teased, "How about it, Miss Yun? Wasn't that thrilling?"

These past few days had been exhausting; they had even been targeted by a Yao Beast in the Early Stage of the Dharma Idol Realm midway through.

Fortunately, the creature had only toyed with them briefly and didn't pursue them relentlessly.

Yun Sangyi looked at Mo Tianxiao with a resentful gaze, her voice soft and gentle: "Fortunately, it was a close call without any real danger. We didn't encounter even stronger Yao Beasts, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable."

"Young Master Ye, regardless, we must be careful from now on. This isn't like the outer regions; we can't make such a commotion again."

Seeing Yun Sangyi's knitted brows and resentful expression, Mo Tianxiao patted his chest and said firmly, "Rest assured, Miss Yun, I definitely won't gamble with our lives!"

Then, Mo Tianxiao took out the massive blood lingzhi and, without hesitation, sliced it in half, tossing one piece to Yun Sangyi.

"Here, this is Miss Yun's share."

Catching the blood lingzhi, a flash of pleasant surprise crossed Yun Sangyi's eyes, and a moving smile graced her oval face. "Thanks."

Yun Sangyi didn't stand on ceremony; after all, hadn't they been running for so many days precisely for this blood lingzhi?

With this blood lingzhi, as long as she had a bit of time, she was confident she could break through to the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Once she broke through the seventh level, she would officially enter the Late Stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and her strength would see a significant boost.

"Half for each of us upon meeting. Do you want this?"

Mo Tianxiao tossed the spatial ring in his hand and asked Yun Sangyi.

A flicker of desire appeared in Yun Sangyi's eyes, but she shook her head. "You obtained those through your own abilities. Being given this much blood lingzhi is enough to satisfy me."

She wasn't a greedy person.

Mo Tianxiao didn't press her. He checked the spatial rings and, finding nothing particularly extraordinary—mostly medicinal herbs and spirit fruits—he casually pocketed them.

"However, Young Master Ye, you're being a bit unfair. We've been through life and death together; there's no need to hide your cultivation base from me, is there?"

Yun Sangyi put the blood lingzhi into her spatial ring and looked at Mo Tianxiao with a hint of dissatisfaction.

During their escape, both of them had revealed their cultivation bases.

Mo Tianxiao looked at Yun Sangyi with a faint smile, his gaze seemingly asking how she could have the nerve to ask that.

Yun Sangyi's face reddened under Mo Tianxiao's gaze. She pouted slightly and turned her head away, saying coyly, "Since we both hid our cultivation bases from each other, let's call it even."

A Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator masquerading as a Tongxuan Realm, and a Void Refining Cultivator masquerading as a Nascent Soul Realm.

Neither of them was a saint.

"Let's go, let's keep moving. It wasn't easy to get here, and there are still many good things waiting for us."

After tidying up, Mo Tianxiao got ready to head deeper.

If they could find a thousand-year-old blood lingzhi in the outer regions, who knew what treasures awaited them in the inner region?

Yun Sangyi hurried to catch up and walked beside him, her face also showing a hint of anticipation.

Although it was dangerous, both were experts at concealing their auras. As long as they were careful and didn't provoke any existence they couldn't afford to offend, this place was a paradise for humans.

Almost every short distance they traveled, they would encounter a Heaven And Earth Treasure several hundred years old; it was no different from picking up money.

Furthermore, there weren't many Treasure Hunters who dared to enter the inner region, which meant this was a truly unplundered, primitive treasury.

"Roar!! Who is it!! Who dares to steal my Thousand-year-old Green Bamboo Shoot!!!"

"My Three-thousand-year-old Narcissus!!! Who exactly was it!?"

"Where is my shed horn???"

...For several months, the roars of Great Yao echoed through the inner regions of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Because they had been robbed!

And they couldn't find the culprit!!

The masterminds behind all this were, naturally, Mo Tianxiao and Yun Sangyi.

Since Yun Sangyi had already discovered his methods anyway, Mo Tianxiao didn't bother hiding them anymore; the Immortal Dao Secret Art - Skillful Hand Emptying was simply a divine technique.

Mo Tianxiao suddenly felt that compared to stealing items, using Skillful Hand Emptying to steal others' techniques and Divine Abilities seemed somewhat ordinary.

Stealing techniques and Divine Abilities required the other person to cast them, and the effect only lasted for one minute.

But stealing items, as long as he was within range, was truly undetectable. It was simply terrifying... Warm reminder: The website will be revamped soon, which may cause loss of reading progress.
