Chapter 42: Black-Aura Giant Ape

At first, Zhou Lanting did not understand why Yi Qianmo wanted to go to Green Dragon Mountain and get into trouble. He had already felt something strange was happening there before he arrived.

Moreover, Yi Qianmo had just killed a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, so going to Green Dragon Mountain was almost like walking into death.

After staying with the Yi family for a few days, Zhou Lanting finally understood why Yi Qianmo had to go to Green Dragon Mountain. She learned about Yi Qianmo’s experiences over the past thirteen years and understood the Yi family’s situation.

"If I were you, I would leave Green Cloud City immediately and go with Su Muyu to Tianyuan Academy."

Three days later, Yi Qianmo took care of the family matters and left Green Cloud City.

He had only one person by his side, and that was Zhou Lanting, while Su Muyu had already entered Green Dragon Mountain with others.

During those days, the strange happenings at Green Dragon Mountain became more intense. At night, from the walls of Green Cloud City, one could faintly see a strange light coming from inside Green Dragon Mountain.

"As long as you enter Tianyuan Academy, the Xuanyuan Sect and your ex-wife will definitely not dare to touch the Yi family."

On the road, Zhou Lanting said, "You should know that dead people have no value."

Yi Qianmo naturally understood what he meant. Now that he had killed a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, he had made a deadly enemy of them.

The only thing that could protect him was Tianyuan Academy. As long as he entered Tianyuan Academy, with his value, they would definitely safeguard him.

As long as he was alive, his family would be safe, but if he died, it would mean he lost all his worth.

Tianyuan Academy would never risk everything for a dead person to challenge the Xuanyuan Sect.

So, if he entered Green Dragon Mountain, the Xuanyuan Sect would definitely kill him at all costs, giving him no chance to enter Tianyuan Academy.

"Anything can happen!"

Yi Qianmo said, "Before the Xuanyuan Sect knows how dangerous I am, if I enter Tianyuan Academy, they will surely destroy my family to vent their anger! Only by letting them know I am not easy to deal with will they be wary of me!"

"Hmm!"

Zhou Lanting didn’t expect Yi Qianmo to think so deeply, "So, what do you plan to do…"

"Yes, whoever dares to stop my revenge, I will kill, no matter if he is a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect or someone else!"

Yi Qianmo said, "I want them to fear me. Only if they fear me will they not harm my family before trying to kill me!"

Zhou Lanting said no more, but his eyes showed a hint of admiration for his courage to live in the face of death.

Half a day later, they entered the depths of Green Dragon Mountain, where there were no signs of people for a hundred miles around, and it was not as Zhou Lanting said, filled with people from the immortal sects.

"You’ve been in Green Dragon Mountain for so long, what do you think of that legendary treasure?"

Yi Qianmo asked as he continued on the path.

Along the way, the two of them hardly had any conversation. Hearing him suddenly ask, Zhou Lanting stopped and said, "I never believe there is any treasure. Even if there is, it wouldn’t be for us."

"Then how do you explain that strange phenomenon?"

Yi Qianmo also stopped.

"It is just a natural phenomenon. Not only at Green Dragon Mountain, but also in many other places, this kind of phenomenon can appear, just like how sometimes a rainbow appears after it rains."

Zhou Lanting said.

"Hmm!"

Yi Qianmo also stopped. He stroked his chin and asked, "Did you create that cave yourself?"

"No."

Zhou Lanting shook his head, "It was left by someone before. In that cave, I found a scroll of Pill Skills, but it was only a fragment. It belonged to an ancient cultivator."

Yi Qianmo looked at him in surprise.

However, before he could ask, Zhou Lanting continued, "Don’t think too much. Although I obtained that cultivator’s legacy, it is definitely not something magical, and you have also seen that Pill Furnace."

When he mentioned the Pill Furnace, Zhou Lanting stared intently at Yi Qianmo, as if he wanted to know what level Yi Qianmo was at.

"That Pill Furnace is just a medium-grade spirit tool; it is indeed far from the legendary Pill Furnace."

Yi Qianmo did not care about his gaze, "However, that Maze Formation is not an ordinary Maze Formation."

Hearing this, Zhou Lanting set aside her doubts and trusted Yi Qianmo’s earlier words even more.

"So, how did you break the Maze Formation? Is it a technique passed down through generations?"

Zhou Lanting had learned that Yi Qianmo had just recently broken through to the Qi Refining Stage, but this only made Zhou Lanting more amazed and even more curious about his inheritance.

If it weren’t for Yi Qianmo having drugged him, he would definitely have captured Yi Qianmo and interrogated him properly.

Yi Qianmo smiled, but suddenly a fierce sound of fighting came from a distance, and both of their faces showed signs of alertness.

"Let’s take another route!"

Zhou Lanting instinctively said.

"It’s not easy to meet some real people, so how can we take a detour?"

Excitement showed on Yi Qianmo’s face.

Seeing him rush ahead, Zhou Lanting had no choice but to follow.

Before long, they arrived at the area where the battle was taking place. From a distance, they could see five people in monk robes fighting a giant beast.

It was a black, human-shaped giant beast that shone with a red light, standing about ten to twelve feet tall, looking like a small hill.

The five young monks fighting this giant beast were not gaining the upper hand; instead, they were being tangled up by the beast. If they continued like this, defeat was only a matter of time.

"Black-aura Giant Ape!"

Zhou Lanting looked at the giant ape with a surprised face, "How can there be a spirit beast in Green Dragon Mountain!"

Yi Qianmo didn’t speak, but he knew what the Black-aura Giant Ape was. Spirit beasts are rarer than other strange beasts and are only found in those vast mountain ranges that stretch for thousands of miles.

Spirit beasts usually gather the world’s spirit energy and feed on heavenly treasures to live. Their intelligence is no less than that of cultivators.

"Have you never seen this Black-aura Giant Ape before?"

Yi Qianmo asked curiously.

Zhou Lanting turned her head to glance at him and said, "I have never encountered a spirit beast in Green Dragon Mountain. This Black-aura Giant Ape, not losing to five disciples of the Tianlong Sect, must be at least a first-grade third-level spirit beast. Compared to cultivators, it should be at least at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage. If there is such a spirit beast in this mountain, I would insist on killing it to use for medicine!"

In the eyes of a Pill Master, everything can be used in medicine, and spirit beasts are no exception. Born from absorbing the world’s spirit energy, their flesh and blood are treasures.

"Isn’t the Tianlong Sect one of the four great sects?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"That’s right."

Zhou Lanting nodded, a flash of killing intent in her eyes. "These thieves are even more annoying than those bull-nosed ones. It seems they are finally getting their comeuppance. We should just watch and not get involved."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Qianmo moved quickly and headed towards the place where the fighting was happening.
