138: Killing the demon in Beihai, Ruan Yuntian invites you

At the ferry crossing on the North Coast.

The crowd was surging and very lively.

Weak Cultivators with low Realms naturally dared not venture out to sea alone.

Therefore, they could only pay Spirit Stones to board Spiritual Ships manned by powerful Cultivators.

In order to seek protection and successfully reach their destination.

After Chen Xuan saw the vast sea, he pondered for a long time and finally chose to board the Spiritual Ship heading to Chiyang Island.

This island is the closest Cultivation world island to Tianxuan Continent.

No hegemonic force controlling the entire island has emerged on it; tens of thousands of years have passed, and the situation remains complex and intertwined.

North of Chiyang Island, after passing Beili Island and Golden Turtle Island, one can reach Demon Extermination Island, where the front line is located.

The Demon Extinction Alliance is stationed on that island.

The Demon Extermination Assembly also opens on Demon Extermination Island.

Chen Xuan's main purpose in coming to the North Sea was to travel and broaden his horizons.

And to slay some Yao Beasts along the way.

Firstly, it could increase his combat experience; secondly, it could acquire some resources for the North Barren Chen Family; and thirdly, it could contribute to the Heavenly Profound Human Clan.

Killing three birds with one stone, why not?

After most of the people heading to Chiyang Island had gathered, the Spiritual Ship set off, heading straight north.

A person suddenly approached Chen Xuan, who was standing at the bow, gazing at the boundless sea.

“I am Ruan Yuntian of Tianxing Sect on Chiyang Island. May I ask Fellow Daoist’s name?”

Chen Xuan looked over.

The person was dressed like a scholar, with a delicate face, holding a folding fan, handsome and feminine, not like a man, but like a woman disguised as a man.

He politely cupped his hands in response.

“Chen Xuan, from the North Barren Chen Family.”

North Barren?

Ruan Yuntian’s eyes flashed with surprise, revealing a gleam of light. A Cultivator who could cultivate to the Returning Void Realm in such a place with meager Spiritual Qi and scarce resources must have extraordinary strength.

At that moment, he also firmed his resolve to befriend Chen Xuan.

“So it’s Ruan Brother. May I ask why Ruan Brother left the North Barren and is heading to Chiyang Island?”

He immediately started calling him Ruan Brother.

He was quite an impolite self-starter.

Chen Xuan did not hide anything.

“I heard that the Demon Extermination Assembly is being held in the North Sea, and I want to go and experience it.”

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yuntian immediately understood.

The Demon Extermination Assembly, jointly organized by various major forces in the North Sea Cultivation World, offered generous rewards, naturally attracting many Cultivators to compete.

This was another brave warrior who wanted to pull chestnuts from the fire.

As far as he knew.

In the war between the Human Race and Yao Race at the front line, countless casualties occurred on both sides every day.

The sky above the sea in front of Demon Extermination Island was simply a meat grinder that harvested the lives of Cultivators from both the Human Race and Yao Race.

The entire firmament was stained crimson and remained so for a long time.

Recently, even worse news came.

It was said that a Mahayana Realm Venerable of the Human Race was ambushed by a strong Yao Race expert, bleeding across the sky, and perished.

He, Ruan Yuntian, would rather die than go to such a dangerous place.

What if the Demon Extermination rewards offered by the various forces in the North Sea Cultivation World were even more generous?

You have to be alive to get them.

And you have to be alive to spend them.

If your life is gone, what good is it to snatch more resources?

The abundant wealth in the lost spatial ring, in the end, still became a wedding dress for others on their cultivation path.

“Ruan Brother, that Demon Extermination Assembly, you must not go!”

Ruan Yuntian, after all, could not bear to watch Chen Xuan, a North Barren Fellow Daoist he had just met, jump into that fiery pit, and he spoke up to dissuade him.

Cannot go?

“Ruan Brother, why do you say that?”

Ruan Yuntian cleared his throat, and his voice changed from ethereal and clear to much deeper and heavier.

“This Demon Extermination Assembly is different from previous ones.”

“The North Sea Yao Race doesn’t know what madness has possessed them; they keep sending troops to the battlefield, as if their Yao Race Cultivators don’t consume resources to cultivate and grow.”

“In previous Demon Extermination Assemblies, the Yao Race would just send a few small fry to participate, but this time they are serious.”

“Now the war is gradually escalating, and the battles between Human Race and Yao Race Cultivators have even affected the Mahayana Venerable level.”

“The high-ranking officials of the Demon Extinction Alliance didn’t expect this; now they are frantic. They keep issuing Demon Extermination mobilization orders to various forces in the North Sea Cultivation World, and at the same time, they have increased the Demon Extermination rewards several times, just to attract more Cultivators to assist in Demon Extermination.”

“But no matter how generous the rewards are, you have to be alive to get them and alive to spend them!”

“Ruan Brother, listen to my advice, absolutely do not get involved in this muddy water, otherwise, after death, you might not even get a complete corpse.”

Most Human Race Cultivators, after death, would be directly swallowed by Yao Race Yao Beasts and digested into feces.

How could any corpse remain?

Chen Xuan listened to all of Ruan Yuntian’s earnest persuasion.

But listening is one thing.

He still had to go.

As for dying without a complete corpse.

This was just a Clone, after all.

So what if it died?

The true body could be reformed at any time; at worst, it would just be starting over.

What was there to fear?

Although he thought this in his heart, Chen Xuan showed a very grateful expression to Ruan Yuntian on his face.

“Thank you, Ruan Brother, for speaking frankly. I didn’t expect such a change in this Demon Extermination Assembly. It seems that Demon Extermination Island really cannot be visited.”

As he spoke, a hint of regret appeared on Chen Xuan’s face.

Seeing that he had given up the idea of going to Demon Extermination Island to participate in the Demon Extermination Assembly.

Ruan Yuntian couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

A look of joy appeared on his face.

Another lost lamb saved.

Karma +1.

“Yes, that Demon Extermination Island is extremely dangerous; you must not go, absolutely must not go!”

After Ruan Yuntian responded, he changed the subject.

“Since Ruan Brother is not going to Demon Extermination Island, does that mean you have no other plans for now?”

There was actually a follow-up waiting for him.

Chen Xuan chuckled inwardly, but pretended to look surprised on his face, nodding gently to Ruan Yuntian.

“Then, after Ruan Brother arrives at Chiyang Island, why not visit my Tianxing Sect? It just so happens that the Chiyang Secret Realm will open a month from now.”

“At that time, all Returning Void Realm Cultivators from the three sects, two families, and one pavilion, the six major forces on Chiyang Island, will enter it to contend for the Secret Realm Legacy Opportunity. If Ruan Brother wishes to enter, you can also use my Tianxing Sect’s identity to go together. What you obtain in the Secret Realm will depend on your own abilities.”

“Of course, we met as if we were old friends and have a profound bond. Ruan Brother can also cooperate fully with my Tianxing Three Heroes, watching out for each other and distributing the resources obtained in the Secret Realm according to the size of our contributions.”

Uh...

After all that circling.

So he was waiting for him here.

Chen Xuan glanced at the Spiritual Ship; there were not many Returning Void Realm Cultivators. Besides Ruan Yuntian and him, two of the remaining three were the owners of this Spiritual Ship.

The other person looked like he was alone.

He was very curious.

Would Ruan Yuntian, after winning him over, immediately go to find that other person next?

A month later.

This Spiritual Ship alone would take a full half a month to travel across the sea.

Once they reached Chiyang Island, the Chiyang Secret Realm should open within a few days.

It wouldn’t be bad to enter it with this interesting ‘Ruan Brother.’

After coming out of the Secret Realm, it probably wouldn’t be too late to go to Demon Extermination Island to participate in the Demon Extermination Assembly.

Thinking of this.

Chen Xuan’s lips curved slightly, and he showed Ruan Yuntian an extremely gentle and frank smile.

“Ruan Brother’s kind invitation is hard to refuse!”

Upon receiving a positive reply, Ruan Yuntian was immediately filled with intense ecstasy.

“Yes!”

“It worked!”
