After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

After a long while, he lowered his head, looked at the pile of treasures in his arms, and a smile appeared on his lips.

This little girl...

That's too much.

He shook his head and put all the treasures into his storage bag, leaving only the crystal-clear jade pendant hanging at his waist.

Then, he raised his head and looked at the mysterious area shrouded in clouds and mist deep in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"The empty family..."

He muttered to himself, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"Good timing."

"I've been waiting for you guys."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure blurred, and he transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

……

at the same time.

High in the sky, thousands of miles away.

A powerful group is rapidly approaching the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

The leader was a handsome young man.

He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, his robes fluttering, exuding an otherworldly air.

But a cold light gleamed in those narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes, sending chills down one's spine.

It was none other than Kong Kong'er, the seventh young master of the Kong family.

Behind him followed two elderly men whose auras were unfathomable.

The two old men stood on the left and right sides in the void, each step covering a distance of tens of feet, their speed astonishing.

What's most chilling is the oppressive aura emanating from them—

Far stronger than ordinary Core Formation cultivators!

They were actually two experts at the Pseudo-Infant Realm!

He is only one step away from becoming a legendary Nascent Soul True Monarch!

Behind them followed sixteen Core Formation cultivators!

Each of them possessed a cultivation level of at least the mid-stage of Core Formation, their bodies surging with spiritual energy, their aura as majestic as a mountain!

Such a lineup, if placed in the Zhao Kingdom, would be enough to sweep away most of the sects and aristocratic families!

Kongkong'er stood in the void, gazing coldly into the distance, his voice indifferent:

"Elder, have you tracked down Lin Fengmian's presence?"

The white-haired old man on the left nodded slightly, his hands forming a hand seal, and a pale golden light condensed at his fingertips.

The light spun a few times in the air before flying towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

"Young Master, we've found it."

The old man opened his eyes, his voice calm:

"That person is in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."

Upon hearing this, a cold killing intent flashed in Kongkong'er's eyes:

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range?"

A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"A good place."

"Secluded, deserted, perfect... for murder."

"Walk."

He waved his hand dismissively, his voice as cold as frost:

"I'd like to see who can save him this time!"

The elder then spoke up.

However, it seems the enemy has hidden deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, where there are many demonic beasts. They must be trying to use these beasts to stop us.

Upon hearing this, Kongkong'er curled her lips into a disdainful sneer.

"Oh, it's alright."

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze coldly fixed on the mysterious, cloud-shrouded area deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, his voice indifferent as if he were discussing a trivial matter:

"Since I personally led the team, I anticipated this."

"and--"

He paused, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes:

"The opponent is just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he tries to run towards the core, won't he die an even more miserable death?"

"Walk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kongkong'er's figure blurred, and he transformed into a white light, plunging headfirst into the vast forest of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range without hesitation.

Behind them, two elders at the Nascent Soul stage and sixteen Core Formation cultivators followed closely, like a group of sharks that had smelled blood, rushing towards the depths of the mountains.

……

at the same time.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

Lin Fengmian pushed his movement technique to its limit.

With the Nine Transformations of Illusion fully activated, his figure moved through the dense forest like a ghost, each flash covering several meters, his speed astonishing.

The withered leaves underfoot were swept up by the strong wind, leaving a long trail behind them.

But his expression remained solemn.

not enough.

Not fast enough.

The Kong family could catch up at any moment, so he had to get into the core area as soon as possible and find the territory of the legendary fourth-tier beast king.

Only in that way could he use the power of the demonic beasts to shake off his pursuers.

With this in mind, Lin Fengmian no longer held back.

The spiritual energy within his body, comparable in quality to that of a Core Formation cultivator, was released without reservation!

The violent spiritual energy surged out like a tide, forming a visible shockwave around him, which pressed down on the surrounding vegetation, causing it to sway and tilt.

Although this spiritual pressure was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, its solidity was enough to make many Core Formation cultivators take notice!

more importantly--

His spiritual power contains the unique yang energy of the Pure Yang Holy Body, making him a natural nemesis to low-level demonic beasts.

really.

Along the way, the demonic beasts lurking in the shadows, upon sensing this spiritual pressure, let out terrified growls and scattered in all directions with their tails between their legs.

Occasionally, a few ignorant first-tier demonic beasts, upon sensing that supreme yang aura, would tremble all over, turn around and run away, not daring to look back.

Seeing this, Lin Fengmian felt somewhat relieved.

He traveled smoothly and quickly crossed the outer area of ​​the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, entering the middle layer.

The surrounding trees grew taller and thicker, blocking out the sun, and the air was filled with a rich spiritual energy and a faint smell of blood.

Lin Fengmian continued flying deeper into the area without stopping.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

The spiritual energy here is so dense that it's almost tangible. Taking a deep breath, you can feel the comforting sensation of your limbs being nourished by the spiritual energy.

But Lin Fengmian did not relax at all; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant.

This area is already within the range of activity for third-tier and even fourth-tier monsters.

Each of those demonic beasts was comparable to, or even stronger than, a human Core Formation cultivator.

With his current strength, facing any third-tier demonic beast head-on would be a near-certain death.

Lin Fengmian slowed his pace, concealed his breathing, and carefully moved through the dense forest.

Just then—

"boom--!"

A deafening explosion suddenly came from mid-air!

The sound was like a thunderclap, carrying a terrifying surge of spiritual energy that even made the ground tremble!

Lin Fengmian felt a chill run down his spine and, almost instinctively, dodged behind a giant tree.

He held his breath and used the "Qi Concealment Technique" to suppress his aura to the lowest level, concealing himself in the shadows of the trees like a stone.

At the same time, he tightly clutched the jade pendant left by his mother on his chest.

My consciousness has already connected with the space of the jade pendant.

As soon as things go wrong, he immediately disappears into the jade pendant space and hides away until the end of time.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and looked through the gaps in the branches and leaves in the direction from which the explosion had come.

There was a person standing in mid-air.
