Chapter 1406: Chapter 1406: Damn, This Guy’s Really Generous (Part 1)
Leaving the Purple Lightning Beehive, Ye Haochuan carefully proceeded according to the map’s instructions. Two days later, he arrived at a small lake.
“This small lake’s shape is almost identical to the one on the map, I shouldn’t be wrong.”
Ye Haochuan compared the map with the small lake in front of him and finally reached this conclusion.
After passing this small lake, he would have traversed more than half the journey, not too far from the destination.
“Roar~”
He hadn’t relaxed yet when he heard an angry roar coming from the nearby valley.
Within the roar, there was faintly a hint of a Divine Beast’s aura, shaking one’s mind.
“Not good, there’s a high-level demon beast!”
Ye Haochuan imdiately beca vigilant; this forest was teeming with hidden demon beasts. So had already reached the Nascent Soul Level, making it necessary for him to exercise caution.
In the next mont, a figure as tall as three or four stories slamd into a century-old tree and appeared before Ye Haochuan.
This demon beast had a tiger-like head but was equipped with sharp bull horns. Its body and limbs were extrely robust, looking full of strength.
Judging by its aura, it was no less formidable than the Purple Lightning Bee King, also a Core Formation Peak demon beast. In terms of strength, even a typical Nascent Soul Cultivator might not hold up against it.
“Holy moly, I’m just passing by, and you give such a passionate welco?” Ye Haochuan muttered in annoyance.
He wasn’t afraid of this demon beast; it’s just that fighting such a beast was more troubleso than battling an early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
But soon, he realized the demon beast wasn’t targeting him. After slamming into the giant tree, it didn’t continue forward but turned to retreat.
Ye Haochuan then noticed an elderly man with a head full of white hair behind the demon beast.
This old man wore a gray Profound Robe, exuding an aura of otherworldly wisdom. His cultivation was not insignificant, having reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
However, Ye Haochuan noticed the old man’s aura was extrely unstable, as if he’d suffered serious injuries.
Almost at the mont Ye Haochuan saw the old man, the old man noticed him too. He hurriedly evaded the demon beast’s attack and flew toward Ye Haochuan.
Dammit, is he trying to drag into this ss?
Ye Haochuan felt annoyed, swiftly retreating a few steps.
It wasn’t that he lacked compassion, but in this forest, cultivators were as dangerous as demon beasts. Moreover, this old man imdiately set him up, giving him no reason to help.
“Young friend, don’t be alard; I have no intention of harming you, just need your help!” the old man cried as he saw Ye Haochuan retreat so swiftly.
“I bet I know your plan. You clearly want to use as a shield to buy yourself enough ti to escape, don’t you?” Ye Haochuan sneered.
The old man hesitated slightly upon hearing this, having truly intended that, but he hadn’t expected Ye Haochuan to be so perceptive.
“Hmm, just a Core Formation Cultivator, do you think I can’t catch you?”
The old man snorted, about to pursue swiftly. However, he froze in the next mont.
Ye Haochuan’s speed of escape was actually faster than his running speed. Clearly, Ye Haochuan’s strength didn’t align with his cultivation level.
The old man’s thoughts shifted rapidly, shouting, “Young friend, you misunderstood. I noticed your exceptional skill and wanted to invite you to help kill this beast. There will be generous rewards once fulfilled.
“Oh please, do you think I’m so easily deceived?” Ye Haochuan sneered.
The old man seed desperate and hastily tossed out a ring from his ring.
Ye Haochuan caught it and found five million Spirit Crystals inside.
Holy moly, this guy really splurges.
Ye Haochuan was secretly shocked.
Considering Divine Thunder Origin Liquid only sells for six million, this old man’s random offer of five million showcased his wealth.
“Consider this a deposit; once done, there will be more rewards from !” the old man said sincerely.
Ye Haochuan found it strange. The old man clearly was shady earlier, but now his face seed completely straightforward.
No matter, killing a demon beast with such gains isn’t too bad.
Ye Haochuan mused inwardly.
Despite disliking trouble, the situation changed when rewards were involved; he could be a rcenary this ti!
With that thought, he stopped hiding and summoned the Divine Concealnt Sword, confronting the demon beast.
The old man also took the opportunity to stand firmly, alongside Ye Haochuan on either side, facing the demon beast.
“Humph, a re Core Formation Mid-Stage kid dares ddle, courting death!” the demon beast roared angrily upon seeing Ye Haochuan make a move on it.
Demon beasts above Core Formation Stage could transform into human form, so it wasn’t surprising for this beast to speak.
“How is it ddling? It’s rely helping others for a fee!” Ye Haochuan laughed casually.
“Whatever benefit you have, enjoy if you can!” the demon beast snorted coldly and swiftly moved, charging at Ye Haochuan.
“Kid, take your Spirit Crystals to hell!”
“All n must die, but against you, I’m afraid you’re still lacking!”
Ye Haochuan chuckled lightly and calmly commanded, “Xuanwu Force Vein, activate!”
“Eight Extre Palm!”
Before finishing his words, a palm seal was calmly unleashed.
“Watch out!” the old man suddenly shouted, full of anxiety.
He continued to lant secretly, Ye Haochuan appeared powerful but was still slightly reckless. This demon beast’s strength lay in its might; fighting it head-on was attacking its strength with one’s own weakness.
This was youthful exuberance with not enough combat experience!
Amid his astonishnt, he seed to already picture Ye Haochuan being charged to death, and once again considered fleeing.
Yet in the next mont, he was quite stunned.
A seemingly gentle palm strike was inflicted on the demon beast’s head, causing its charge to abruptly halt.
Boom~
A delayed intense collision sounded, Ye Haochuan and the demon beast both took a step back, appearing evenly matched.
Nonetheless, it was enough to impress the old man greatly.
Even though he was in the Nascent Soul Stage, fighting this demon beast earlier had left him injured. Ye Haochuan in Core Formation Mid-Stage could withstand a hit from this demon beast.
“I had estimated him very generously, yet hadn’t expected to still underestimate him. If it weren’t for Ming Lang already being Nascent Soul Level, I’d even suspect him to be Ming Lang.” The old man muttered internally.
Among the young Xuann, in terms of sheer combat skill, Ming Lang is unequivocally number one. But he couldn’t fathom who else besides Ming Lang would possess such ability.
“Why ponder so much, given his prowess, he perfectly aids in achieving my goal, isn’t it ideal?”
With this thought, the old man smiled and shouted, “Young friend, an impressive feat, let’s join forces to slaughter this beast!”
Saying that, he raised his longsword and actively engaged the demon beast.
Ye Haochuan was more intrigued; the old man’s earlier cry genuinely seed concerned for his safety.
Could it be this guy had a sudden epiphany, considering a companion?
Ye Haochuan pondered inwardly.
But, he still felt the old man was concealing sothing from him.
