225: Chapter 225 The Reason

"The Commander is getting stronger and stronger, it's just these Vicious Beast carcasses..." Glancing at the corpse of the variegated Demon tiger, the man in black couldn't help but complain.

For the past half year, Pei Kong has frequently come to the Hengduan Mountain Range to hunt Vicious Beasts.

He calls it earning resources.

But only he knows that his Commander is practically a battle maniac.

Hunting Vicious Beasts is purely because his hands are itching.

This has made the Vicious Beasts on the outermost edge of the Hengduan Mountain Range suffer greatly, and he has suffered right along with them.

Ever since he voluntarily took on the job of transporting Vicious Beast carcasses once.

He has had no one to tell his troubles to; transporting carcasses has become his daily work.

Second-tier Vicious Beasts are fine; their size is generally not too huge, just over a thousand jin.

With his Divine Strength Realm strength, moving them away isn't too difficult.

But third-tier Vicious Beasts are different; they easily weigh several thousand jin, or even over ten thousand jin.

...

After getting a cold shoulder from Pei Tianrong, the various Grand Elders of the Pei Clan also gave up on trying to demand spots from Pei Kong, instead informing their own Juniors of this news.

Unlike Pei Tianrong, Pei Tianrong is not only the Family Head but also their good older brother.

Although Pei Kong is strong, he is only their Junior.

It's fine to be shameless in front of their older brother, but they still need to maintain some image in front of a Junior.

Of course, this is not the most important point.

The real reason is that Pei Kong is a true battle maniac.

Anything involving Family tasks, if they ask for his help, they must fight him first.

Looking at the entire Pei Clan, those with the Early stage of Five Viscera Realm cultivation can be counted on one hand, and those who can truly and steadily defeat him...

Aside from the Old Ancestor Pei Qingyun, there is only Pei Tianlin, whose cultivation is a level above his.

They can't beat him!

They really can't beat him!

Young people don't know how to pull their punches.

They certainly don't want to injure their old backs for no reason.

The next day.

In the martial arts arena, over a dozen youths gathered together. Exchanging glances, one could see in each other's eyes that the tacit understanding and peacefulness had disappeared, replaced by intense Battle Intent.

Martial Artists have never been a calm or peaceful group.

They are far more aggressive and competitive than ordinary people.

If ordinary people are compared to firecrackers, then they are powder kegs.

Not to mention young Martial Artists; they are not only competitive but also wild.

It's just that in the past, this nature was controlled by their own willpower.

Although the spots hadn't been decided yet, everyone could guess what was to come from the deductions of their respective Elders.

Strength is supreme!

With half the spots selected, half the people are destined to be eliminated.

Those who could come to the martial arts arena were all the most prominent Geniuses of the younger generation in the clan, so naturally, they had their own pride.

This competition for spots represented not only a way to gain contributions but also an affirmation of their own strength.

Not far away, Pei Kong watched all of this, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

Young people should have this kind of vigor.

Accompanied by a thick aura of blood and killing intent, Pei Kong appeared before everyone.

Before returning from the Hengduan Mountain Range, he already had a plan in mind.

Therefore, after returning, he did not rush to bathe; rather, he did it on purpose.

Looking at these young faces, he always had a vague illusion that he was no longer part of the clan's younger generation.

But in fact, he himself was only in his twenties.

Looking at Jinhuai Prefecture, a Five-Viscera Martial Artist in their twenties definitely belongs to the younger generation.

The youths present might not be much inferior to him in talent, and their Realms had basically reached the Divine Strength Realm, but after all, they had not experienced the baptism of life and death.

Whether it was experience in dealing with Demons or in terms of combat, there was a huge gap between them and veteran Divine Strength Martial Artists.

Going to execute the mission like this, it would inevitably fail to achieve the intended results, and might even lead to heavy casualties.

Collecting his thoughts, Pei Kong scanned everyone with a sharp gaze, his deep voice resounding, "I presume the Elders in the clan have already mentioned the reason for my arrival. I will be fully responsible for this Demon suppression mission."

"This mission is dangerous. Before the mission begins, I will conduct a half-month training for you. Only those who qualify will be allowed to participate in this mission. If anyone wants to quit, you can stand out now."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes narrowed; this was not what they had expected.

But they also realized from this the risks of this suppression mission.

However, at this time, no one would choose to quit.

This was not just about their personal face.

Compared to the heated competition within the Pei Clan, members of other forces were terrified of the semi-annual Demon suppression mission and tried to avoid it at all costs.

It was a pity that even though the Pei Clan and the Evil Suppression Bureau undertook the Demon suppression work for most of the areas, there was still one-sixth of the area that they were responsible for.

...

In the ancestral house.

Pei Qingyun slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his body radiating a rich aura of life. The completion of the middle volume of the Evergreen Art allowed him to vaguely perceive a trace of the vitality of wood.

But when he wanted to feel it deeply, this trace of wood vitality dissipated into nothingness, as if everything were just an illusion.

"Perhaps my Realm is not enough." Pei Qingyun did not delve into it, merely letting out a sigh.

He had never been a Genius with extraordinary Comprehension Ability.

If he were to explore too many unknown things, the expenditure of mental energy would only be secondary.

Martial Artists face the risk of Qi Deviation.

With the attribute panel, he only needed to Cultivate step by step.

These fancy things should be left to the Prodigies.

Walking out of the ancestral house, Pei Qingyun restrained the vast, ocean-like Qi and blood around his body.

It was at this moment that Jiu walked out from the shadows.

"How did things go?" Pei Qingyun glanced casually and said indifferently.

"News came from Elder Tianlin that the Yun Family in Longnan Prefecture has the Blood Origin Grass you need. However, the Yun Family does not seem to have any intention of selling it. Elder Tianlin has visited several times, but has been refused each time."

Pei Qingyun frowned. He did not immediately ask for the reason, but asked in a deep voice, "What is the background of this Yun Family?"

Seemingly having anticipated that Pei Qingyun would ask this, Jiu did not think too much and blurted out, "The Yun Family is located in Longnan Prefecture City and has a history of over two hundred years. It is considered one of the veteran third-rate families. It is said that the ancestor of the Yun Family was just a fisherman who, during a voyage at sea, accidentally ate an Innate Origin Qi fruit and awakened the Bloodline within his body, which is why the Longnan Yun Family exists today."

"For these two hundred years, the Yun Family has developed very peacefully and stably, never showing signs of decline. Furthermore, every head of the Yun Family has been a Six Viscera Grandmaster. However, three years ago, the Yun Family seemed to have run into trouble; the newly succeeded Family head only has the cultivation of the Full-Circle Five-Viscera Realm."

Hearing this, Pei Qingyun fell into deep thought. The story of the Yun Family's ancestor was similar to the descriptions in biographies. The origins of many families stemmed from the adventures of their ancestors.
