The pupils of the five Major Sects were all excited, and they began to be fearful and wary of each other.
After all, if any high-level Spiritual Items were born, the pupils of their five Sects would definitely not be able to cooperate as harmoniously as they were now, and they would inevitably contend for it.
“Brother Chi, do you think we should go to the Falling Ghost River?” Han Yi asked Ming Xiu for advice with a smile.
Hearing Han Yi’s question, the other pupils also looked at Ming Xiu.
Although this mission was a Six Major Sects Joint Mission, but the Heavenly Secret Palace was at the head of the Six Major Sects. Ming Xiu was also the most powerful existence among them, so everyone basically considered him the leader.
“Of course we will go there. But there’s something I need to make clear.” Ming Xiu’s smile was very light.
The leading pupil of the Medicine Sect asked: “Brother Chi, please speak.”
“When we arrive at Falling Ghost River, if there really is some Spiritual Item born, everyone will snatch it on their own, and whoever snatches it will it be who’s, but we are not allowed to kill each other.” Ming Xiu swept the leaders of the several sects present with a sharp gaze.
“Alright!” The others replied without hesitation.
What Ming Xiu said was exactly what the pupils of the several Sects thought. After all, if there really was a peak-quality Spiritual Item being born, no one would want to give it to the people of the other Sects.
The smile on Lou Mu Yan’s lips was even deeper. This was very good.
The group didn’t hesitate any longer and quickly rushed towards Falling Ghost River.
When they arrived at Falling Ghost River, they saw countless colourful clouds hanging above the dark river water. The transparent black mist that was born was entwined in layers and a fragrant scent spread from the water—it was indescribably eerie.
“What kind of Spiritual Item is it that it actually triggers such anomalous phenomena.” Gu Xiu looked at the anomalous phenomena opposite the river in surprise.
“Yeah! But don’t you think it’s strange?” The leading pupil of the Spirit Tamer’s Sect said solemnly.
“What’s so strange?” Han Yi asked.
The pupil of the Spirit Tamers Sect looked around and said: “Each time a Spiritual Item is born, there will be no shortage of Demonic Beasts to snatch it wildly, at least there would be one powerful Demonic Beast to guard it, but right now, we don’t see anything.”
Hearing him say that, everyone also felt it strange, wondering if this wasn’t actually the birth of a Spiritual Item?
“If they knew that there was already a Tier 9 Demonic Beast sleeping underwater, I wonder if they would quickly escape right now.” Mo Yan’s light eyes flashed indifferently.
Lou Mu Yan rubbed her chin and said: “Tier 9 Demonic Beasts are a body of treasures, and their Demonic Core could refine a lot of pills.
The eyes of Miao Miao and her other Spirit Pets couldn’t help but light up when they heard this.
“There’s a Tier 9 Demonic Beast King in this river, so even if there is a Spiritual Item being born with this anomalous phenomena, the other Demonic Beasts wouldn’t dare step into its territory to compete with him.” Ming Xiu said leisurely.
The Six Sects were on a mission together, so he wouldn’t watch most of these people from the other Sects go die, so he reminded them first.
“What? A Tier 9 Demonic Beast.” The others were startled.
One must know that the strength of a Tier 9 Demonic Beast was comparable to that of a Sword Saint powerhouse. Most importantly, a Tier 9 Demonic Beast was capable of refining their own Natal Magic Tool, could cultivate Demonic Methods, and the combat power exerted by many Demonic Beasts was even stronger than that of same-level Sword Saint powerhouses.
“Brother Chi, you mean to say that there are no Demonic Beasts gathered here mainly because of the deterrent effect of the Tier 9 Demonic Beast underwater?” Gu Xiu thought about it and asked.
Ming Xiu nodded: “Yes. This water Demon of Falling Ghost River is a King. Although he’s still sleeping, but no Demonic Beast dares to set foot in its territory. Waking him up will only result in the path to death.”
“That Tier 9 Demonic Beast is probably sleeping here to guard the Spiritual Herb.” Han Yi’s expression changed again and again.
If high-level Spiritual Items were discovered by Demonic Beasts before their birth, then they would stay where they were and not let other Demonic Beasts have the opportunity to take them away. The level of a Spiritual Herb that could be guarded by a Tier 9 Demonic Beast was also at least Earth Rank.
It was just a pity that their cultivation base was too low. If they wanted to snatch food from the Tier 9 Demonic Beast, it was basically impossible.
The pupils of the other Sects also looked hopeless. The guardian Demonic Beast of Tier 9 was something they simply couldn’t match.
“How about we send a message to the Sect and let the Elders of Sword Saint level come over.” The pupil of the Medicine Sect suggested.
Ming Xiu thought about it, then said, “Sounds good.”
Spiritual Items were only born for a day at most, and it was useless even to wait for the Elders of the five Major Sects to come. However, when the time came, it could also distract the attention of those old fellows.
Hearing Ming Xiu’s approval, the pupils of the five Sects immediately took out their Communication Talismans and activated it.
“Then what do we do now?” Han Yi asked.
“Wait.” Ming Xiu just said one word.
Half a day later, countless clouds fell over Falling Ghost River and dozens of black beams of light shot directly into the sky.
“The Spiritual Item is soon to be born.” The pupils of the several Major Sects all stood up and looked not far away.
Suddenly, a group of people in black emerged from the mountain forest on one side, and the leader was the person Lou Mu Yan and the others met last time.
“With just your abilities, you also want to compete for the Obsidian Fluorite?” The black-clothed man in the lead had a stern expression, and his whole person exuded a chilling aura. Although his aura was restrained, one could still feel his powerful aura.
“Sword Saint powerhouse.” The pupils of the five Major Sects couldn’t help sucking in a deep breath inwardly.
Gu Xiu had a solemn expression, and he turned his head to Lou Mu Yan and the others, saying telepathically: “This Devil Cultivator is an Advanced-Phase Sword Saint. Run away when you see the opportunity.
Jin Se and the several people agreed one after another. An Advanced-Phase Sword Saint wasn’t an existence they could shake at all. They could kill them all with one move.
Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes and telepathically said to Mo Yan, “It seems that we’ll need to use that Secret Skill to deal with what happens next.”
She had the ability to skip-stage battle. She was now an Advanced-Phase Sword Sovereign, so it wasn’t a big problem to kill a Peak-Phase Sword Venerable with all her strength, but if she was against a Sword Saint, then she could only be beaten.
Of course, it was still possible to escape from the hands of a Sword Saint, but with her current strength, she could only do as much.
If she used Mo Yan’s Secret Skill, however, she could barely just fight a Sword Saint.
“Your Honour is Shen Mu Feng right.” Ming Xiu looked at the man in black hugging his golden sword and didn’t show a look of terror like the other pupils.
The man in black casually raised his head and said: “How did you know?”
“Your Honour is ranked tenth on the most wanted rankings from the Six Major Sects. As long as the pupils have accepted the mission to kill you, they will see your portrait.” Ming Xiu said pointedly.
Shen Mu Feng raised an eyebrow, “So you’ve already accepted the mission of chasing and killing me?”
“Indeed. Your Honour’s head is worth one hundred thousand Sect contribution points, so I naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.” Ming Xiu’s thin lips parted lightly, his expression indifferent.
The others looked at him in surprise when they heard what Ming Xiu said, wondering if he took the wrong medicine.
He was indeed a Sword Venerable, and also heard that he had the ability to skip-stage battle. The half-Saint who was killed by him before was an example, but the one standing opposite was an Advanced-Phase Sword Saint Devil Cultivator.
If they were that easy to kill, the Six Major Sects wouldn’t have ranked him as the tenth person on their wanted rankings to pursue and kill.
But was Ming Xiu a fool or took the wrong medicine? Obviously not possible.
It seemed that they all underestimated the strength of this number one genius pupil of the Heavenly Secret Palace’s Inner Sect. This was what the pupils of the Six Major Sects all thought.
“HAHA…” Suddenly, a pleasant-sounding, gentle male voice sounded from behind, “It seems that I’m not too late, I arrived just in time to watch this good show.”
