Chapter 5759
“Senior is absolutely right!”
Shi Yan nodded hurriedly, his face pleading. “Senior, Elder Li Yan has perished, and Rock Valley has been destroyed. We must immediately return to the headquarters of the Myriad Beasts Sect to report this matter.”
“Senior has shown us kindness as if we were second nature. We implore you to come with us to the headquarters!”
“The headquarters is filled with powerful experts; they will surely be able to better receive you, and the sect leader will also know of your kindness and strength!”
Ying Wu also nodded vigorously, her vertical pupils filled with anticipation.
Having witnessed Kai’s true combat power, they knew that if they could persuade this mysterious expert to go to the headquarters,
it could bring a turning point, both for them personally and for the Myriad Beasts Sect, which was currently in fierce conflict with the Myriad Souls Demon Sect.
Kai pondered for a moment.
He needed to find a place to stay to gather information about the Myriad Souls Demon Sect and the Soul Devouring Venerable. The Myriad Beasts Sect, as the local power and an enemy of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect, was undoubtedly the best choice.
Although their initial encounter at Rock Valley was unpleasant, Shi Yan and his companion were sincere, so there was no need to completely reject them because of Li Yan alone.
“Alright,”
Kai replied simply.
Shi Yan and Ying Wu were overjoyed and immediately gathered the belongings of their fallen comrades, then set fire to all the corpses in the valley to prevent them from being used by the Demonic Sect.
Afterward, the group dared not delay and, under the cover of night, led by Shi Yan and Ying Wu, hurried towards their headquarters deeper into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Leaving the scorched Rock Valley, the group traversed even denser and more dangerous primeval forests.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the denser the spiritual energy in the air became, even condensing into a faint spiritual mist, but this also meant that the lurking demonic beasts were more powerful.
If it weren’t for Kai, this formidable figure, being there to oversee things, Shi Yan and his injured disciples would never have been able to venture so deep.
Along the way, they encountered a group of Bloodwing Demon Bats, whose strength was generally at the second or third rank of the Celestial Immortal Realm, which attacked like a dark cloud covering the sky.
This also alerted a Xuanbing Flood Dragon, a powerful being comparable to a seventh-grade Celestial Immortal, lurking deep within the icy pool. Its mouth could freeze an area of a hundred miles in an instant.
But these dangers were utterly insignificant before Kai.
A flash of sword light, and demonic bats rained down; a punch, imbued with the supreme yang power of chaotic immortal energy and fire-based laws, shattered the Xuanbing Flood Dragon’s scales, sending it howling and burrowing back to the bottom of the pool, never daring to show its face again.
Kai’s actions were swift and decisive; often, before anyone could react, the threat was already eliminated.
This earned him even greater awe from the surviving beastmen disciples, their eyes filled with admiration and trust.
The little fire unicorn also feasted during this time; the essence of the powerful demonic beasts’ flesh and blood, and their inner cores, were highly nourishing for it. Its size subtly increased, its body shimmering with crimson-gold light, displaying extraordinary majesty.
Shi Yan and Ying Wu seized the opportunity to introduce Kai to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range stretches for millions of miles, one of the largest gathering places for demonic beasts in the Tenth Heaven, and a vital foundation for the beast race. The
Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is not a strictly unified sect, but rather a vast alliance formed by numerous beast tribes, worshipping a common totem and jointly led by a few of the strongest elders and the sect leader.
Disciples cultivate different beast soul combat techniques based on their bloodline and talent, enabling them to communicate with demonic beasts and even transform into beast forms to fight, making them formidable forces.
Their mortal enemy, the Ten Thousand Souls Demonic Sect, entrenched itself on the Crimson Blood Plains adjacent to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Its cultivators are skilled at devouring souls and refining demonic heads, acting with ruthless cruelty.
In the last thousand years, they have become increasingly rampant, constantly eroding the resources of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, leading to increasingly fierce conflicts between the two sides.
Kai listened quietly, noting down all this information.
He noticed that when the Ten Thousand Souls Demonic Sect was mentioned, Shi Yan and the others’ eyes held not only hatred but also a subtle hint of worry, clearly indicating immense pressure from the Demonic Sect.
After traveling for three days and three nights, crossing several dangerous canyons and swift rivers, the group finally arrived at the main peak area of a magnificent mountain range.
