The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.
Chapter 54 Night Attack
Walking on the mountain road at night, surrounded by lush vegetation, Chu Qianqiu was very cautious.
He took out a special "flashlight" called the Night Lantern from his storage ring, which was unique to the cultivation world, and began searching for traces of spiritual herbs around him.
Originally, he didn't want to go up the mountain to look for herbs in this pitch-black night, as it would greatly reduce his efficiency.
But near the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, there were no inns or any places for him to rest and recuperate.
He had no choice but to take advantage of the night to save some time and search anxiously.
...
This search was not easy.
After searching for a long time, Chu Qianqiu realized that he had only covered a small distance and found nothing along the way.
Perhaps it was because of his limited vision, or maybe the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was too vast, but all the precious treasures near the foot of the mountain had already been taken by the bold ones.
So, the number of herbs he could detect was very few.
And even if there were any, they were not what he wanted.
In fact, he just wanted to find ordinary herbs that had not yet become spiritual herbs, take them home, and cultivate them with his own spiritual soil. He didn't expect even this to be so difficult. The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was indeed not a place where treasures could be easily found as rumored.
"It seems that some people are willing to take risks..."
With these thoughts in mind, Chu Qianqiu had no choice but to let go of his fear and start venturing deeper into the mountains.
At this point, he also took out his own map, not the one from Old Mu, but the one given to him by the younger generation, which showed the specific locations of some herbs.
According to the location index, he continued to search in the approximate direction.
And in his hand, the Night Lantern flickered in the dark night, making him feel like he heard some suspicious movements. He thought that some wild beasts had noticed the light and had taken out his protective snake tooth in advance.
He tied the snake tooth to a rope and hung it around his neck.
Chu Qianqiu felt much more at ease and quickened his pace, continuing to move towards higher positions in the mountain range.
...
Finally, after reaching a section of the mountain that he considered relatively high, he found several herbs he wanted and happily put them into his storage ring.
Unfortunately, these herbs were ordinary and had not been nurtured by spiritual soil, so they had not awakened as spiritual herbs.
But it didn't matter. When he returned home, he would make them grow quickly and turn them into key ingredients for the Evil-Dispelling Pill.
"Very good, you didn't disappoint me."
"If I continue at this pace, I might be able to leave the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range by tomorrow morning."
With a smile in his heart, Chu Qianqiu felt that he was quite lucky.
At the moment, he only lacked a few more herbs to successfully complete his mission.
One was the Heavenly Lingzhi, another was the Yuan Yang Fruit, and the last one was called the Phoenix Tail Grass.
Once he found these three things, he would have accomplished a great feat and could rightfully take Qinglian into his hands.
"Let's do it!"
Just at this moment, sharp voices came from the silence.
In the dark night, Chu Qianqiu was startled. He didn't expect to be ambushed.
"Someone?!"
He quickly dodged. Although he didn't know how many people the other side had, he could roughly determine their attack positions by listening to the sound, and then retreated in the opposite direction.
Soon, the place where he had been standing was filled with a dozen poison arrows, several axes, and even explosions.
Those sudden attackers took advantage of the night to throw hidden weapons and continued to chase their target.
"Kid, didn't expect you to run so fast. You're a Foundation Building stage cultivator, right?"
"Damn it, I should have killed you earlier!"
"But unfortunately, you're going to die here today!"
With a few voices, the speed of those people chasing him became faster and faster.
Following the sound, Chu Qianqiu escaped while pondering. This time, he could roughly hear it. The other party probably had a force of about six or seven people.
Among those people, someone immediately recognized his cultivation level, indicating that he must be a cultivator, and one of higher realm than him.
"What the hell are you people? Do I have a grudge with you?"
While quickening his pace, Chu Qianqiu took out the Lion Roar Fist Gloves and the Snake Fang Bodyguard from his storage ring, pretending to retreat in defeat while preparing for battle.
The pursuers burst into laughter and didn't reveal their origins. They only said that they were seeking revenge for their brothers.
"Hehe, we are here to avenge Chu Tianhe!"
"As for who we are, you can think about it after you're six feet under!"
"Boom!"
There was a violent tremor on the ground.
One of the pursuers flew out several shining cards, which were inserted into the ground and exploded.
Chu Qianqiu quickly dodged and took advantage of the dust raised by the explosion to maneuver, planning to take down one of them first.
He unexpectedly used a reverse strategy and charged back.
The group thought he wouldn't stop, so they didn't slow down at all and charged straight into the smoke from the explosion.
Seizing this opportunity, Chu Qianqiu immediately released a large amount of spiritual power from his body, gathered it into the Lion Roar Fist Gloves, and summoned a fierce fire dragon.
"Sixth Form of the Fiery Fist Technique: Rising Dragon!"
He punched, combined with the terrifying power of the Lion Roar Fist Gloves.
A crimson dragon appeared quickly, accompanied by a lion.
The lion and the dragon attacked together, charging out of the smoke and burning several assassins from the Black Night Society on the spot.
Those who were hit rolled on the ground and struggled.
Chu Qianqiu, of course, didn't take further action and turned to run.
Just now, he was purely buying time to give himself a chance to escape.
Being able to defeat that group of people had greatly exceeded his expectations.
He didn't expect to pursue and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
He was more cautious and had some self-awareness.
When he approached just now, he could sense that there were at least three Foundation Building stage cultivators stronger than him among the opponents.
He couldn't defeat these three with just one move, so it was best to follow the strategy of "retreat is the best option."
...
Several members of the White Night Society covered by the fire dragon and lion were quickly rescued by their companions.
They were all Foundation Building stage cultivators, the core strength of the White Night Society, so they wouldn't die so easily.
However, they had been careless. The young man they were chasing unexpectedly had some treasure on him, and the attacks he unleashed were something ordinary Foundation Building stage cultivators couldn't withstand.
"Damn it, I almost got burned to death!"
"My life-saving armor was burned to ashes, damn it!"
"Fuck, keep chasing!"
These people roared in anger and continued to pursue the young man in front of them, never giving up.
Chu Qianqiu had already created some distance between himself and these people through his counterattack, and the gap was widening.
Just when he thought he should be able to turn the tables, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura appearing in front of him.
The terror of this aura instantly shocked him.
This was definitely not something a Foundation Building stage cultivator could achieve. Its terrifying level had long surpassed that of Foundation Building cultivators by countless times.
Therefore, this was at least a powerful cultivator at the Gold Core stage.
Only someone of this level could emit such a terrifying and domineering aura!
