Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 113 Beast Tide
"Fellow Daoist Tiezhen went deep into that cave?" Yu Xianglan looked a little surprised.

"Going deep into the cave of a third-level monster alone like this really requires great skill and courage."

Yu Xianglan was somewhat impressed, and then looked at the spider eggs in Wei Zhong's hand.

"Could this spider egg be laid by a third-level monster? It could be sold for a good price."

Wei Zhong threw it:
"Why, if you are interested, you can take some spiritual objects from me. This thing is useless to me anyway."

Yu Xianglan knew that Wei Zhong had just subdued a group of soul-eating ghost bees, so she probably wasn't interested in these spider eggs.

After hearing what Wei Zhong said, I felt a little jealous.

This kind of unhatched monster is most suitable for training. Even if it is not controlled by magic, a certain degree of loyalty can be guaranteed.

What's more, it is a third-level spider demon egg with huge potential.

Many monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range take extremely strict care of their offspring. Qingmu Zong didn't even encounter many newly born monster cubs, let alone monster eggs.

If it can be raised to adulthood, the Qingmu Sect will have an additional third-level guardian spirit beast.

"I am indeed somewhat interested. I wonder how much you would like to offer?"

Wei Zhongyan said:
"We don't accept spiritual stones. We only want spiritual objects, spiritual medicines, or various treasures."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Xianglan took out several century-old elixirs and a piece of white jade.

"I don't have many spiritual medicines, so I'll take this soul-nourishing jade as an extra."

Wei Zhong took the elixir and the white soft jade and looked at them carefully.

Yu Xianglan naturally explained:

"This jade has the effect of warming the soul, but it is only effective for foundation-building cultivators. It is not so effective for Jindan cultivators."

Wei Zhong had also heard of this kind of strange thing, but it was rare and its effect was far less significant than taking a soul-nourishing pill.

Even though I didn't actively collect them, it's still nice to come across them now. It would be a great gift to give to my subordinates or younger generations in the future.

"Deal, this spider egg belongs to Daoist Fellow Yu."

Wei Zhong threw the white jade egg to Yu Xianglan, who immediately caught it with her spiritual power and put it into the spirit beast bag with a look of joy on her face.

Wei Zhong looked at the people behind him and found that a few people were missing, including the two true disciples of Qingmu Sect, Lu Yibin and Lin Muxue.

So he asked, "It seems that there are two people missing from your team, I wonder where they are now?"

Yu Xianglan responded:

“The two men saw three third-level demon wolves dragging the corpse of the white jade spider away, so they followed them secretly.”

"Foundation Building Following a Level 3 Monster?"

Wei Zhong couldn't help but admire the courage of these two people.

Yu Xianglan seemed to see surprise on Wei Zhong's face.

“Though those two are not as good as Fellow Daoist Tie Zhen in concealing their breath, they are still able to follow a few uncivilized third-level demon wolves from a distance.”

Wei Zhong nodded:
"Since there is nothing to gain here, we might as well follow them and see what those demon wolves are up to."

Then everyone followed the traces left by Lu and Lin to catch up.

We walked across countless ravines along the way, and finally climbed over half of the mountain and arrived at the other side of the mountain.

The trees and plants here are growing lushly again, and you can even hear the howling of wolves in the distance.

Ahead is the winding mountain road.

Everyone flew down and saw Lu Yibin and Lin Muxue who had been waiting there.

Before the two of them saluted, Wei Zhong took the lead in asking:
"How's the situation?"

Lin Muxue replied:

“Reporting to you, Senior, those demon wolves dragged the corpse of the white jade spider demon back to the cave and never left again.

Our escaping skills are shallow, so we dare not go in and explore in detail."

Wei Zhong did not blame him. Just as he was about to go in and explore alone, he suddenly heard a few wolf howls. His spiritual sense spread out and he found a group of demon wolves rushing over from another direction.

The leader among them was huge in size, and his pressure was much higher than that of other demon wolves. He was a demon wolf in the late third stage.

However, at this moment, its expression was listless, and there were many wounds on its body, and the same was true for the wolves following behind it.

"These are probably the wolves that attacked our Qingmu Sect's outpost but returned empty-handed. I didn't expect that a third-stage late-stage demon wolf would lead the attack so soon."

Yu Xianglan couldn't help but speak when she saw the wolf pack.

As Wei Zhong looked at it carefully with his spiritual sense, a feeling of confusion suddenly surged into his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, I wonder how many third-level demon wolves there were among the wolf pack when your sect explored this winding mountain road?"

Yu Xianglan was stunned when she heard this, and seemed to have discovered the problem.

“In the past, this place was led by a third-stage late-stage demon wolf, with at most two or three demon wolves under his command.

And now, there are three in the team including the leader, and at least three in the cave. Together with the two that were killed by Qingmu Zong before, there are eight in total.

this······"

There were eight third-order demon wolves on a winding mountain road, and there were only six Jindan masters in the Qingmu Sect.

The number of high-level combat forces is even less than that of the Wind Wolves on Panshan Road.

And this is just one community of wind wolves, not to mention the Black Wind Valley and Silver Moon Ridge.

If there were such a large number of wind wolves in these two places, wouldn't it be easy to destroy the Qingmu Sect members who were entrenched in the Wanshou Mountains?
Yu Xianglan felt a chill in her heart, and couldn't understand why the number of wind wolves suddenly increased so much.

This matter is probably related to the True Lord of Blood Sea.

Seeing the expression on Yu Xianglan's face, Wei Zhong knew what she was thinking.

The people from the Qingmu Sect who heard this turned pale, especially Lin Muxue and Nie Yuechan, who could not hide their panic.

Yu Xianglan bowed to Wei Zhong:

"Fellow Daoist Tiezhen, I would like to send a few people back to report this news. I wonder if you can agree to this?"

Wei Zhong looked at Tan Tai Lin standing aside, and seeing that he had no objection, he nodded:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, please do as you wish."

"Thank you!"

The latter turned around and pulled Nie Yuechan and others beside him.

"Chan'er, you will go and report this matter. As his senior's daughter, he will definitely believe what you say."

"But," Nie Yuechan looked at the brothers and sisters around her, "where are your uncles?"

"We will naturally follow Fellow Daoist Tie Zhen until we find the location of True Lord Xue Hai..."

After several people comforted her, Yu Xianglan looked at Xu Changjun in the team:

"Elder Xu, Yuechan will be handed over to you. Please escort her to the former sect master."

Xu Changjun bowed and answered solemnly:

"Please rest assured, Palace Master Yu. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely escort Miss Nie back to the sect's base."

Seeing this, Yu Xianglan felt relieved, stuffed a talisman into Nie Yuechan's hand, and pushed it away:
"Let's go!"

The latter then embarked on the return journey under the leadership of Xu Changjun. Wei Zhong watched the two leave and asked Tan Tai Lin with some curiosity:

"Senior, I wonder if there is any record of a unique spell in the Blood Spirit Scripture that can help monsters and other creatures break through their realms?"

"Oh, if you ask me, who else can I ask? Anyway, the half in my hand definitely does not have such a record.

I don’t know if the part in my hand is still there in the sea of ​​blood.

Or maybe he found some strange tricks from some other place."

Unable to get an answer from Tan Tai Lin, Wei Zhong turned around and looked at everyone.

Yu Xianglan came forward:
"I also ask Daoist Tiezhen to join me in weakening the power of the demon wolf here. Afterwards, my Qingmu Sect will reward you handsomely."

Yu Xianglan was very clear about the current situation. There was such a powerful force in a winding mountain road, not to mention there were two forces that were not weaker than this place.

The demon wolves here are weak now, and the strongest third-level demon wolf is seriously injured.

With Wei Zhong and Yu Xianglan working together, it is very likely that they will be able to kill two or three third-level demon wolves unexpectedly.

Before Wei Zhong could answer, Tan Tai Lin interrupted:
“No, this place is probably not too far from the hiding place of True Lord Xuehai. If a large number of demon wolves parasitized by his bloodline die, it is very likely to arouse his vigilance.

If he had hidden somewhere deeper, we might not have been able to find him even after hundreds of years.

"When I'm gone, and they come with a large number of demon wolves, what can you, Qingmu Sect, do to stop them?"

What Tan Tai Lin said immediately made Yu Xianglan at a loss as to how to refute.

Although what Tan Tai Lin said made sense, Yu Xianglan, as the leader of Qingmu Sect, had her own difficulties.

It would be good to be able to get rid of Master Xuehai in one go, but the prerequisite is that Qingmu Sect can hold on until that moment.

If several wind wolf packs attack the Qingmu Sect's stronghold together, the Qingmu Sect will definitely end up being defeated.

Given the purpose of True Lord Xuehai, he will naturally not let his disciples leave this place easily, but will turn them into nourishment to restore his own strength.

Wei Zhong was not in the mood to care about what he was thinking. Instead of hesitating, he might as well give it a try.

Wei Zhong bowed to Tan Tai Lin:

"Senior, I'm going to take a look at the Wind Wolf Lair."

The latter nodded, and Wei Zhong disappeared and flew out.

The Panshan Road is a barren slope that runs across the mountain range. There are many caves and valleys in it, where a large number of wind wolves live.

Wei Zhong followed the route that the third-stage late-stage Wind Wolf took and entered a cave. The stench that hit him in the face made Wei Zhong frown.

He didn't dare release his spiritual awareness here and alarm the evil wolf.

Wei Zhong simply surrounded his body with his spiritual consciousness several feet on both sides and performed the soul-seeking technique. He immediately saw spiritual energy of different colors flowing in his eyes.

The cave was not deep and it didn't take long to reach the bottom. Several level three wind wolves were gathered there, gnawing on unknown flesh and blood. The corpses of various monsters were also scattered around.

Looking at the jade-like scales, Wei Zhong muttered in his heart:
"This is probably the corpse of the White Jade Spider. I didn't expect that the Wind Wolf attacked Yunshuijian just to covet the flesh and blood of this third-level monster."

Several wind wolves quickly shared it and ate it, then scattered away with satisfied looks on their faces.

“One, two…”

There are six wind wolves in total, one in the late stage of level three, one in the middle stage, and the others are in the early stage.

The realm is not that high.

However, this number is indeed somewhat terrifying. The few Jindan that Qingmu Sect has are not enough to deal with these six.

There were only six Jindan masters in the sect. Zhao Bai was guarding the sect, Yu Xianglan followed Wei Zhong and others to search for the Blood Sea True Lord, and Yao Zhengsheng was in charge of the rear outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

The only ones who were actually fighting on the front line were Lian Chengjue, Nie Yuansen and Yi Liu.

The fighting power is quite strong, two are spiritual cultivators in the late Jindan stage, and one is a physical cultivator in the early Jindan stage.

However, this was just a wind wolf. Wei Zhong secretly mourned for Qingmu Sect in his heart.

Then he left the cave.

He went to investigate around the winding mountain road again and confirmed that there was no trace of True Lord Xuehai, and then he decided to return.

······
After listening to Wei Zhong's explanation, Tan Tai Lin said calmly:
"Since there is no trace of it, let's keep moving forward!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone silently followed the direction indicated by Yu Xianglan.

Along the way, most of the people from the Aoki Sect were silent.

Even Yu Xianglan, who served as the guide, was the same.

When passing by the forest pond, if Lu Yibin hadn't reminded me, I would have even forgotten to obtain the thousand-year-old green root grass here.

"The green grass is in the northwest corner of this pond. There is a third-level crocodile monster guarding it. When I passed by it many years ago, it was still in the early third level. I wonder if its realm has changed over time."

Yu Xianglan took Wei Zhong and flew towards the place he directed, with no other entourage behind them.

Although the foundation building could provide some help in the third-level battle, in order to preserve the foundation building strength of Qingmu Sect, Yu Xianglan still chose not to let everyone follow her.

Moreover, Wei Zhong and Yu Xianglan are not ordinary people in the Jindan stage, so it should not be a problem for them to take down a mere crocodile monster.

When Wei Zhong and the other two arrived, they could immediately feel the change in the concentration of spiritual energy in the air.

Wei Zhong looked at the pool of water below, wondering:
"Could it be that this place is like Luohe Prefecture, where the spiritual vein is connected to the water vein?"

"This place is also a third-level spiritual place, but unfortunately it is located in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, surrounded by monsters and beasts, making it difficult to develop."

Yu Xianglan sighed and threw a snake demon that she had just killed into the pond.

It also deliberately cut a huge gap on the snake's body so that the smell of blood could attract the crocodile monster.

In just a few breaths, huge waves arose in the pool of water, and a ferocious crocodile that was ten feet long suddenly emerged from the pool.

As it was tearing apart half of the snake's corpse, Wei Zhong's eyes focused with spiritual light, and he discovered a magical medicine wrapped around its body.

It trapped half of the crocodile monster's body like a vine.

This green root grass is actually a kind of spiritual grass that parasitizes on monsters.

Wei Zhong held a small black ball in his hand, and a beam of black light fell into the pool, causing huge waves and blood...

A moment later, Wei Zhong and Yu Xianglan returned together.

Wei Zhong's cave was already filled with half of the crocodile monster's corpse and the thousand-year-old green root grass.

Judging from Wei Zhong's strength alone, it was no problem for him to take down this third-order crocodile monster. He beat it half to death with one throwing spell, and all that was left was to move forward and reap the aftermath.

It doesn't take much time at all.

When Lu Yibin learned that the two had obtained the thousand-year-old spiritual herb, his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

It seemed as if he had already seen the moment when his injuries would be fully recovered.

Wei Zhong and his group continued to move forward towards the Black Wind Valley.

······
He cut off the head of a snake that was sticking out from a tree branch, and slapped away a group of panicked pig monsters.

Wei Zhong's expression became more and more strange.

'How come there are so many monsters in this area, and they are so panic-stricken and have no idea where to go.'

Yu Xianglan standing by was equally confused.

Lu Yibin behind him said:
"Could it be that a tide of beasts broke out in this mountain range?"
