75: The poor and beautiful Mu Xier was beaten up

“Since that’s the case, Jiu Xiao, Xiao Yan, Ermi, Xiao Ji, Yan Huai, let’s head to the Wood Ghost Clan first,” Li Ye said coldly.

He had seen a good item in the trading market.

Tier 3 Contract Paper: Both parties can form certain agreed-upon terms through the contract paper.

Neither party can violate it, or they will be obliterated.

Note: Can be used to contract with original resident, Yao Beasts, Yao Devils, and other Barren Ancient Star NPCs.

Li Ye spent one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to buy three.

He didn't know where these Tier 3 Contract Papers came from, and the seller’s name was an unfamiliar symbol, but he could try them out this time.

…

On the other side, far in the center of the Fifth Great Region, was the Black Emperor Pavilion.

The original Black Emperor Pavilion Master stared blankly at the black-clothed young man sitting in the main seat before him.

The young man was precisely Black Gentleman; he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, essentially putting on a show.

“My Lord, the person you asked me to keep an eye on has purchased your Tier 3 Contract Paper.”

“Hmm… Li Ye, right?”

“Yes, My Lord.”

“Can you pinpoint his location?”

“This… yes.”

“Send me the coordinates. Every time there’s a Ranked Match or Peak Match, this person is before me. I have a premonition that the Ranked Match settlement day is coming soon.

The rewards for the Ranked Match are definitely not small. If I can scheme his death, that would be best. If not, I can still gather some intelligence. Perhaps he will be my greatest enemy on the Barren Ancient Star…”

“Yes, My Lord.”

…

“Human, Wood Ghost Clan? Are you trying to pick on the weak? This might be a good method…”

“Yan Huai, just call me Li Ye. There’s no need to keep calling me ‘human, human.’”

The group prepared for a while and set off from Flame Mountain.

The closest place was Wood Mountain.

After all, among the Five Elements, Wood generates Fire.

It was normal for Wood Mountain to be close to Flame Mountain.

The group grandly made their way to Wood Mountain.

Along the way, Li Ye and Ning Jiuxiao unleashed their Divine Sense.

At this moment, Li Ye’s Divine Sense could already reach a radius of two thousand meters, which was stronger than an average Golden Core expert.

However, Ning Jiuxiao formed a Seventh-Grade Golden Core, so her Divine Sense range was around three thousand meters, even stronger than Li Ye’s.

The two of them scouted like this, slaying all the four-tribe Yao Devils or other Yao Devils they encountered along the way.

They arrived at Wood Mountain in just an hour.

Wood Mountain was lush green, with clear mountains and beautiful waters, and its vitality was much better than Flame Mountain’s.

It was truly hard to imagine that the same region could have two completely different mountain ranges.

Just as the group was about to enter the interior of Wood Mountain, several first-tier Wood Ghosts jumped out.

Without a word, Li Ye used two Blood Spears to instantly kill those Wood Ghosts.

The lost Qi could even be replenished by these Wood Ghosts.

They crushed their way to Wood Mountain Valley.

At this moment, five Peak second-tier Wood Ghosts and one pseudo-third-tier Wood Ghost appeared before Li Ye and Yan Huai.

The pseudo-third-tier Wood Ghost leading them was female, a female Yao Devil just like Yan Xiaoji.

She wore a Spiritual Artifact long dress, as brilliant and dazzling as emerald, perfectly outlining her graceful figure.

Her skin had a unique brown tone, as smooth and delicate as high-grade wood, with a rich texture, almost blending with the forest.

Her facial features were incredibly exquisite; if not for her slightly dark skin color, her beauty might have been comparable to Lin Qiuyao and Bai Jie.

It was truly hard to imagine that a Wood Ghost could be born so beautiful.

Not only that, but this Wood Ghost woman also exuded a subtle, elegant, and serene aura of pressure around her, making people feel her extraordinary and unfathomable nature.

Li Ye’s eyelids twitched slightly. How did he feel that this pseudo-third-tier Wood Ghost Clan Chief was even stronger than the true third-tier Minotaur Demon from before?

Could it be because they were in a Secret Realm?

Or was there some other reason?

“Weak Yan Ghost Clan, lowly humans, what is the purpose of your sudden visit to my Wood Mountain?”

However, no matter how strong the Wood Ghost felt, in Li Ye’s eyes, she was nothing more than that.

“Nothing, Wood Ghost Clan Chief. I’m here to offer you a bright future and persuade you to form an alliance with the Yan Ghost Clan.”

A faint, blood-colored mist suddenly appeared around Li Ye, blending with the surrounding environment.

A golden flame suddenly flashed in his originally deep pupils, as if burning with endless power.

At this moment, his right hand tightly gripped Phoenix Severing Flash, its blade shimmering with cold light.

If this Wood Ghost leader was unwilling, he planned to subdue her with “virtue.”

As Li Ye expected, the Wood Ghost was unwilling.

“Hehehe, human, you’re simply dreaming… Ugh!”

A Peak second-tier Wood Ghost had just mocked him when he was instantly killed by a single strike of Soul Devouring Slash, infused with Nine Yang True Flame.

Li Ye squeezed his head, and the Qi around him intensified.

“Wood Ghost Clan Chief, surrender or die. It’s a pity for someone as beautiful as you to die like this.”

Wood Creek Child was dumbfounded.

She sensed that Li Ye’s aura was only at Foundation Establishment Peak, which was Peak second-tier, yet his single attack was comparable to a true third-tier expert.

Wood Creek Child was the name of the Wood Ghost Clan Chief.

Just like her appearance, it sounded like a little beauty.

However, in the aesthetic standards of the Wood Ghost Clan, Wood Creek Child was actually considered ugly.

The Wood Ghost Clan only liked those with thick waists and distorted faces, similar to the aesthetic preferences of the Yan Ghosts.

“Human, what did you just say about me? That I’m beautiful?”

Wood Creek Child asked, trembling.

She was a true ugly duckling in the entire Wood Ghost Clan, constantly mocked until she became powerful, after which the Wood Ghosts no longer dared to mock her.

The other Wood Ghosts exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.

As if saying, Li Ye, you must be hungry again.

Li Ye looked at Wood Creek Child’s small mouth, large charming eyes, and exquisite facial features, and said in surprise:

“Isn’t she beautiful? Xiao Yan, Jiu Xiao, Ermi, Xiao Ji, what do you all think, is this Wood Ghost beautiful?”

Xiao Yan scratched her thigh, wiped her nose, and said without any pretense:

“She’s quite beautiful, just not as beautiful as me.”

Jiu Xiao smiled and said:

“This Wood Ghost lady’s beauty is certainly good, it can be considered top-tier.”

“Meow~ Beautiful, meow~”

Ermi immediately responded.

Hearing everyone agree with her beauty, Wood Creek Child’s delicate body trembled slightly.

But she still gritted her silver teeth.

“Human, even if your group tries to deceive me, I will not surrender to you and the Yan Ghost Clan! The Yan Ghost Clan has not produced a third-tier expert and is the weakest clan, they should be expelled!”

After speaking, her hands transformed into vines, attacking Li Ye and the others.

“Nine Yang True Flame!”

“Qinglian Heart Fire!”

“Falling Dragon Heavy Strike!”

“Meow!”

“…”

After being ravaged by Li Ye and the others, Wood Creek Child was covered in wounds and bumps.

She looked at Li Ye piteously.

The surrounding Peak second-tier Wood Ghosts were already stunned. Even if they had the heart of a strong person, they were shocked by Li Ye’s strength.

However, as soon as they joined the battle, some died, and some fled.

“Wood Ghost, I have always reasoned with people. Can we sit down and talk properly now?”

Li Ye said with a smile, looking at Wood Creek Child.
