Purple Deer with Stars

Immortal River Sect!

Mufu Peak!

The mountain was still that mountain, and the water was still that water.

As Zhong Qing rode the Qilin down into the courtyard.

“Master!”

Lin Feng and Su Ye happily emerged from their Cultivation to greet him.

Zhong Qing glanced at their Cultivation Realm.

Their improvement speed was very fast.

It seemed they hadn’t relaxed at all during his absence.

“You two are excellent!”

He praised them without hesitation.

“Has anything happened in the Sect recently?”

“Reporting, Master, all is well!”

Lin Feng respectfully replied.

Zhong Qing nodded.

His return didn’t cause any ripples in the Sect.

On Mufu Peak, everything remained as usual!

Life was peaceful and tranquil.

On this day, several thousand miles southwest of Immortal River Sect.

A purple maple forest.

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, the Sect Master of Immortal River Sect, was leading a group of Elders from the Sect to pursue a Yao Beast here.

It was a strange Yao Beast that resembled a deer, but without antlers, covered in purple fur with star-shaped spots that emitted a soft glow.

“Third Elder!”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong called out from afar.

In the forest ahead of the deer being pursued by everyone, a figure rapidly rushed out, precisely cutting off the Yao Beast’s escape route.

It was precisely the Third Elder of Immortal River Sect, who had been ambushed there for a long time.

“Now let’s see where you can run.”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong smiled confidently; this Yao Beast had already fallen into the Immortal River Sect’s trap.

Seeing this, the deer-shaped Yao Beast let out a sharp shriek, knowing there was no escape, and became enraged. The star-shaped spots on its fur began to flash with light.

“Be careful! The Starry Sky Purple Deer is about to go berserk, don’t confront it head-on!”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong warned, and at the same time, countless spiritual lights erupted from the star-shaped spots on the Starry Sky Purple Deer, each carrying considerable power, shooting towards the people of Immortal River Sect.

The prepared group used various means to resist or dodge, and no one was injured.

Under Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong’s command, everyone began to systematically besiege the Starry Sky Purple Deer.

Although this Yao Beast appeared gentle and beautiful, it actually possessed the Peak strength of the Star Profound Realm, and could not be underestimated.

But with Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong personally taking action, leading a group of Elders, he had full confidence in taking it down.

If it were in the past, he might not have had such confidence, but now that they all Cultivated the Wang-level Cultivation Technique given by Zhong Qing, their strength was incomparable to before, and taking down this Starry Sky Purple Deer was no problem.

“To think we’d be so lucky as to encounter a Starry Sky Purple Deer.”

An Elder sighed, “Legend has it that the Starry Sky Purple Deer loves to eat the tender leaves of purple-leaf spiritual maples, which is why it appears in this purple maple forest, but to encounter one is still luck.”

Although it was only in the Star Profound Realm, the Starry Sky Purple Deer was an extremely rare Yao Beast.

It was even rarer than some Yao Beasts of the Earth Profound Realm or even the Tianxuan Realm.

Although its strength was weak, its fur had miraculous effects; it was impervious to water and fire, unstained by metal and stone, and its defense was extremely strong.

It also contained a strange power of starlight, with the powerful effect of enhancing Cultivation speed.

Not only that, it was soft and smooth, and light as smoke and clouds. It was said that wearing it could make one feel light as a swallow, as if floating in the clouds, and it also had a strange, fragrant scent that repelled dust.

In short, it was an extremely precious treasure.

Previously, a Disciple of Immortal River Sect discovered traces of the Starry Sky Purple Deer while passing through this purple maple forest.

With the Disciple’s Cultivation, he naturally dared not act rashly, and immediately rushed back to Immortal River Sect to report.

Upon learning of it, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong immediately led the Elders of the Sect to collectively set out, preparing to hunt down this Starry Sky Purple Deer.

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong laughed, “Good, afterwards, its fur can be made into leather armor or a vest and straight robe, refined into a close-fitting magic robe, just right to give to Zhong Qing.”

The Third Elder, while sending out a hand seal to repel the Starry Sky Purple Deer, said, “Sect Master, Zhong Qing might not necessarily care for it, right?”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong nodded, “With Zhong Qing’s strength, he naturally wouldn’t need its protection, but this item is rare after all, and comfortable to wear, so it can be considered a token of our regard.”

The other Elders all nodded in agreement.

However, they did not know that at this moment, on a small mountain Peak north of the purple maple forest, two gazes were observing this side.

“This group of people is quite lucky, to actually find this Starry Sky Purple Deer.”

A handsome young man, appearing to be only in his twenties, dressed in a white robe with gold patterns, exuding an air of nobility, stood with his hands behind his back, looking askance at the purple maple forest.

“However, with their strength, taking down this purple deer will probably take some effort, but don’t damage the fur.”

He waved his sleeve: “If its appearance is ruined, this Young Lord will make them pay.”

Behind the noble young man, a thin old man with white hair and beard smiled slightly.

“Young Lord need not worry, this old man is constantly watching, and will not let such a thing happen.”

The noble young man nodded slightly.

“The fur of the Starry Sky Purple Deer is indeed good, these common folk are not worthy of it.”

The thin old man laughed, “These people should be from the nearby Immortal River Sect. It is their honor to hunt down this purple deer for the Young Lord.”

Evidently, these two were here with the intention of reaping the benefits of others’ efforts.

At this moment, the people of Immortal River Sect had been entangled in a fight with the Starry Sky Purple Deer for quite some time.

Seeing that it could not break out of the encirclement, the Starry Sky Purple Deer finally unleashed its full power.

Its star-shaped spots flashed again, finally converging into a single expanse, and the entire deer seemed to be submerged in light, its aura greatly strengthened.

“Everyone, pay attention, the Starry Sky Purple Deer has activated its Starlight Power.”

“Killing it now will allow the spiritual power remaining in its fur to reach its optimal state.”

“Attack with me!”

Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong shouted, and light converged between his hands.

The Elders, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, responded in unison while also gathering their strength, preparing for a decisive blow.

“Hmph!”

“Boundless Spirit-Slaying Sword!”

An Elder took the lead, and a colossal sword light instantly surged several hundred feet, dazzling beyond compare, striking directly at the Starry Sky Purple Deer.

The others also successively unleashed the ultimate skills they had mastered.

In an instant, the Starry Sky Purple Deer’s body was submerged by numerous powerful Divine Ability killing moves.

Of course, everyone acted with great precision, aiming for vital points such as its head, while simultaneously narrowing the range to avoid damaging the precious fur.

Even a Yao Beast at the Peak of the Star Profound Realm, whose individual strength surpassed anyone present, could not withstand the onslaught of so many powerful Divine Abilities.

It fell without even a whimper.

But at the same time, on the northern mountain Peak, the faces of the noble Young Lord and the thin old man revealed expressions of extreme shock.

“That is… King-level Mystic Technique?”

The Young Lord’s eyes widened, too stunned to speak.

What did he see?

A group of people whose Cultivation was only hovering around the Star Profound Realm, mere members of a second-rate Sect, actually used King-level Mystic Techniques!

And clearly more than one kind!

One must know that even in their Holy Land-level force, Wuya Mountain, King-level Mystic Techniques were extremely rare.

They were treasures worthy of being the Sect’s foundational treasure!

“If these King-level Mystic Techniques are brought back, this Young Lord’s position as the next Sect Master of Wuya Mountain will be as stable as a mountain!”

The two exchanged glances, seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes.

King-level Mystic Techniques, enough to greatly increase the foundation of a Holy Land, were actually encountered by them here.

The next moment, without needing to say more, the two figures simultaneously vanished from their original spot.

Meanwhile, in the purple maple forest, the victorious Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and his group wore expressions of joy.

Although using King-level Mystic Techniques was quite taxing for them, hunting down this purple deer made it all worthwhile.

Just as Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong was about to step forward to skin the deer.

A cold voice suddenly rang out.
