“Lu Haisheng.”
Xu Ye’s expression was aghast as his figure quickly retreated. He wanted to leave, but it was already too late. Moreover, he had been struck by the Blood Fiend Evil Ghost and the ten layers of Vajra Talismans on his body had all shattered.
“Ah!!!”
Pew!!!
Xu Ye screamed as he spat out blood. His chest had a bloody hole torn open by the Blood Fiend Evil Ghost. Some of his spirit energy had been devoured by the ghost.
It was just one strike.
Xu Ye was heavily injured and fell to the ground.
“Since the two of you lost, hand it over obediently.”
Qi Ming walked over and looked indifferently at Xu Ye and Lu Haisheng, “Since we’re all from the same sect, I can spare your lives. However, since the two of you dare to attack, you must pay the price.”
“Other than the spiritual herbs, everything else also belongs to me.”
“Do you understand?”
“Hahaha…”
Lu Haisheng laughed loudly and looked straight at Qi Ming. He shouted, “A loss is a loss. Since I’ve lost to you, I’ll naturally do whatever you say. Even if you take my life, I have nothing to say.”
Xu Ye gritted his teeth but did as told.
“Xu Ye and Lu Haisheng suddenly lost. The battle was so intense just now. How did they lose in the blink of an eye? Moreover, they lost twice in a row.”
“Senior Brother Qi’s strength is indeed the strongest among the 120 servant disciples!”
“Senior Brother Qi’s cultivation is not only higher than ours, but his spells, talisman treasures, and combat experience are not inferior to ours. In fact, he’s even stronger. He has no weakness at all.”
“Too powerful.”
“We should obediently hand over the spiritual herbs.”
The servant disciples could only obediently accept their fate.
“You’re not going in?”
Qi Ming looked at Lu Haisheng. Everything on Lu Haisheng’s body, including talisman treasures, spirit stones, and spiritual herbs, other than the Assessment Token, was taken away by Qi Ming.
“I’m not interested.”
Lu Haisheng glanced at the inheritance forest, and he held the Assessment Token in his hand as he said, “Senior Brother Qi, all the spiritual herbs of all our servant disciples have been taken away by you. I reckon that there’s no need to compete in the top ten of the Outer Sect Assessment competition anymore.”
“Congratulations in advance for taking first place in the Outer Sect Assessment, Senior Brother Qi.”
“I want to go in.”
Xu Ye’s face was pale. Although he was very unwilling, he could only give everything to Qi Ming. After walking past Lu Haisheng, he walked towards the inheritance forest.
“Ah!!!”
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Miserable screams sounded from the inheritance forest. Qi Ming and the others looked over and saw the servant disciples who had just entered fleeing in fear.
“What?” Qi Ming looked over.
Lu Haisheng was shocked, “Something happened.”
“Run!”
The ‘old grandpa’ in Xiao Fan’s ring sent a voice transmission, “Leave this place. There are demon cultivators, and more than one of them. They have gathered a demon beast horde. If you continue to stay here, with your strength, you will only die.”
Xiao Fan felt his scalp go numb, “What… What about Senior Brother Qi and the others?”
“You can’t even protect yourself.”
That ‘old grandpa’ shouted, “Moreover, Qi Ming’s strength is much stronger than yours. Even if you die, he won’t die. Hurry up and run.”
Xiao Fan came to his senses and shouted, “Senior Sister Qiao, Senior Sister Tang. Follow me quickly.”
Qiao Yuxian and Tang Bing were stunned, “Junior Brother Xiao, what’s wrong?”
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Roars came from the inheritance forest. A dense group of demon beasts formed a beast group and rushed out from all directions. There were too many of them.
Giant vicious wolf, horned python, savage bear, iron rhinoceros…
They were all demon beasts from the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm.
“Why are there so many demon beasts?”
Lu Haisheng and the others felt their scalps go numb.
“Senior Brother Qi.”
Jiang Shicheng and the others immediately ran to Qi Ming’s side. Their expressions were shocked as they muttered, “Demon cultivators! It must be the demon cultivators who did this!”
“Damn it. They actually gathered so many demon beasts and hid them in the inheritance forest.”
“Where’s Zhang Jianwen?”
“We can’t contact him anymore.”
Jiang Shicheng said in a low voice, “He might be dead.”
“This…”
Liu Erdan and Ren Keshun’s faces were pale.
“Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Qi…”
Su Yu ran out, his face filled with fear. He shouted loudly, “Run! There are demon cultivators! There are demon cultivators! More than one! They’re guarding here, waiting for the prey!”
“Run!”
“Ah!!!”
A miserable cry sounded.
A servant disciple at the third level Qi Refinement realm was running too slowly, so he was caught by a few demon beasts and killed. He died amidst miserable screams.
“Hahaha…”
An extremely arrogant laugh sounded.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At the back of the demon beast horde, three figures walked over quickly and stood at the top of three tall trees. They looked down at the fleeing servant disciples of the twelve peaks. Their faces were filled with disdain and insolence, as if they were insufferably arrogant.
“Run! Run! Run with all your might!”
“You will all die.”
“Let us enjoy your final performance.”
The three demon cultivators were incomparably arrogant.
“It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over.”
“Demon cultivators have actually infiltrated here. Why was there no news beforehand?”
“Moreover, these demon cultivators control so many demon beasts.”
“How long until the assessment ends? Quickly end it. I want to leave this place. I want to leave this place.”
“There’s still an hour.”
“This…”
The servant disciples of the twelve peaks were extremely terrified.
“Calm down!”
“Everyone calm down!”
Lu Haisheng rushed out. His eyes were red as he looked at the three demon cultivators. There was deep anger and hatred on his face because he had a deep grudge with the demon cultivators.
Of course, this matter started five years ago.
The clan Lu Haisheng was born in was the lowest cultivation family. In the family, only Lu Haisheng’s father and ancestor were cultivators, and their cultivation levels were also very low.
However, on the night five years ago, demon cultivators had broken into Lu Haisheng’s family and slaughtered them. Only Lu Haisheng had survived under the protection of his father and ancestor.
Then, Lu Haisheng had been wandering outside for two years. It was not until three years ago that he was fortunate enough to join the Heaven Enlightenment Sect through the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly. Up until today, the hatred of his clan being exterminated was never forgotten.
Unfortunately, those servant disciples had long been frightened by the demon beasts. The roars and screams of Lu Haisheng were completely useless. They were only powerless to struggle.
“Bastard!”
Lu Haisheng roared at the sky.
Boom!
Lu Haisheng rushed forward rashly and threw a punch. The force of the punch erupted and shattered the head of a python. However, more demon beasts surrounded him.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Haisheng was surrounded and in danger
Not only that, Xu Ye was also in danger.
All the servant disciples had no way to escape.
The three demon cultivators had long planned this.
Clang!
Green sword qi streaked across the sky.
Pew!!!
An iron rhinoceros was split into two by the sword qi, and sticky blood splattered all over Su Yu’s body. Su Yu revealed a terrified expression, but he felt fortunate to have survived the calamity.
“Senior… Senior Qi…”
Su Yu looked up and saw Qi Ming not far away. It was Qi Ming who had slashed out with his sword and saved Su Yu’s life. He was extremely grateful and scrambled to Qi Ming’s side.
“What happened?” Qi Ming asked.
“Too… too terrifying.”
Su Yu swallowed his saliva and calmed down. He said, “After we entered the inheritance forest, nothing happened at the beginning.”
“But…”
“After I approached the depths, I did not find any traces of the Heavenly Chief Inheritance, but I discovered the three demon cultivators. It turned out that they had long discovered this inheritance forest. Moreover, the Heavenly Chief Inheritance requires the souls of humans to undo it.”
“These demon cultivators want to slaughter all of us!”
“Slaughter all of us?”
Qi Ming sneered, “They don’t have that ability.”
Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the Blood Fiend Evil Ghost stood beside his right hand. With a wave of his left hand, the Bat Demon that had been hanging for a long time appeared and stood on Qi Ming’s shoulder.
Moreover…
After such a long period of cultivation and with Qi Ming investing some spirit stones, the Bat Demon had already passed the growth period and entered the mature stage.
In other words…
The Bat Demon was already at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
Its growth was faster than Qi Ming had expected..
