"Your subordinate dares not!" Zhang Chen’s expression was one of terror. "I spoke rashly just now. Please forgive , Supre Elder."
Mi He snorted coldly and turned to fly toward the mountain.
Zhang Chen hesitated for a mont but ultimately didn’t dare to stop her again.
Mi He flew directly to the summit of the mountain.
At the peak, there was a small lake about a hundred yards wide. The water had long since frozen solid, covered by a thick layer of ice.
Mi He hovered above the lake and called out, "Ice Soul, I have co under Senior Brother Yang Yu’s orders to check on your condition. Would you be willing to reveal yourself?"
After a long silence, the ice remained motionless.
Seeing this, Mi He flicked a finger wearing a Storage Ring. A Second-Tier demon beast corpse, over ten feet long, materialized out of thin air and landed on the ice.
Yet after another several dozen breaths, the ice remained undisturbed.
Mi He flipped her hand, revealing a jade box.
When she opened it, a thumb-sized leaf erged. It was wreathed in a faint silver-white mist—a leaf of Rainbow Skirt Grass Mi He had stolen from the Silver Wolf Clan long ago.
Mi He channeled her Spiritual Power, shattering the leaf into fragnts that scattered across the demon beast’s corpse.
Suddenly, the tranquil ice surface shattered instantly.
A massive white spider’s head burst through the thick ice, swallowing the demon beast whole in a single gulp.
But the Ice Soul Spider wasn’t satisfied. Its ghastly pale eyes locked onto Mi He.
"Little Mi He, do you have any more of those leaves?"
Mi He shook her head. "No, I only happened to find this one."
Without waiting for the Ice Soul Spider’s response, she turned and headed down the mountain.
Seeing Mi He leave, the Ice Soul Spider, though still hungry, didn’t pursue her. It slowly subrged itself back into the lake.
However, the Ice Soul Spider found its Demon Soul unusually agitated. Normally content to lie motionless at the bottom of the icy lake, it couldn’t settle down today, constantly swimming back and forth.
Moreover, it discovered that the demon beast’s corpse it had just swallowed seed to have been specially refined by soone. It was proving difficult to digest.
But its mind was too consud by excitent to dwell on this matter.
On the other side of the mountain...
Mi He arrived near the mountainside, where her Windscale Beast was playfully darting through the forest, chasing after low-level demon beasts. It would capture them but not eat them, instead releasing them—seemingly just to scare them.
Seeing its mistress approach, the Windscale Beast hurried over.
Mi He rely stroked its head a few tis before gesturing for it to continue its ga.
She continued down the mountain, reaching its base.
Before her stood a deep, cavernous cave several dozen feet tall.
The cave snaked downward at an angle.
Mi He entered the cave and, after descending dozens of miles underground, ca upon a blood-red pool.
The pool was small, only a few dozen feet across, filled with crimson bloodwater that occasionally bubbled with blood-red air pockets.
Mi He repeated her ritual, tossing the corpse of a Second-Tier demon beast into the pool.
The corpse had also been sprinkled with fragnts of Rainbow Skirt leaves.
A slender, blood-colored tentacle erged from the depths of the pool, suddenly coiling around the corpse and dragging it into the crimson depths.
Seeing this, Mi He turned and fled.
The Blood Wraith Beast was different from the Ice Soul Spider. The latter possessed high intelligence and could communicate with humans. The Blood Wraith Beast, on the other hand, had almost no intelligence, driven solely by instinct.
After tasting the Rainbow Skirt Grass, it would inevitably reappear to demand more. Mi He had no more Rainbow Skirt Grass to give it.
Back then, she had obtained three stalks of Millennial Rainbow Skirt Grass, all of which she had refined into dicinal pills. She had risked a great deal to preserve two leaves.
Mi He quickly exited the cave and arrived at the Giant Flying Ship where Zhang Chen and the others were waiting.
"Supre Elder Mi He, are you satisfied with the condition of the three Spirit Beasts?" Zhang Chen asked.
"You’ve taken excellent care of them. I’ll report this to Senior Brother Yang Yu and request rit for you," Mi He replied perfunctorily.
Before her words had even faded, she produced her Passage Token, opened the passage, and exited the Formation Barrier.
No sooner had Mi He left than a fleshy ball with several tentacles suddenly appeared at the mouth of the cave at the foot of the mountain.
It shot forward like a cannonball, hurtling toward the Giant Flying Ship.
Zhang Chen’s expression changed drastically. "How did the Blood Wraith Beast get out of its cave? Quick, release the blood food!"
In truth, his order was unnecessary. The two Foundation Establishnt cultivators on the Giant Flying Ship had already moved the lever at the ship’s bow the mont they saw the beast.
Instantly, human corpses began raining down from the ship’s belly.
As expected, the Blood Wraith Beast was drawn to the corpses and lunged toward them.
After devouring over a hundred bodies, it seed satisfied and retreated back into the depths of its cave.
Zhang Chen and the other two on the ship breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"Elder Zhang, why did the Blood Wraith Beast suddenly beco so agitated? Could it be related to Supre Elder Mi He?" one of the Foundation Establishnt cultivators asked.
Zhang Chen glared at him coldly. "If you don’t want to die, keep your mouth shut. Rember, today on Rockshadow Mountain, everything was peaceful. Nothing happened."
"Yes!" the two Foundation Establishnt cultivators replied in unison.
Two hours later.
Rong Jingyun hurried towards the main peak of the Beastmaster Sect.
As soon as she entered the Great Hall, she spoke urgently.
"Sect Leader, I have an urgent matter to discuss with Supre Elder Yang Yu. Please inform him imdiately."
The current Sect Leader of the Beastmaster Sect, Su Hong, was a kind-faced old man with a late-stage Golden Core cultivation.
Su Hong asked, "Peak Master Rong, why are you so anxious to see the First Supre Elder? What is the matter?"
Rong Jingyun replied, "I’m afraid I can’t reveal the details. Please inform the Supre Elder as quickly as possible."
Seeing her urgency, Su Hong didn’t dare delay. He took out a Communication Jade Slip and notified Yang Yu.
About ten breaths later, Yang Yu’s figure appeared in the Great Hall.
He stared at Rong Jingyun and asked sternly, "Elder Rong, what urgent matter has brought you here?"
Rong Jingyun bowed and said, "Reporting to the Supre Elder, I have just returned from the East Huafang Market. While there, I encountered a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Xue i of the Profound Yin Sect."
Yang Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression grew serious.
"Are you certain it was Xue i?"
Rong Jingyun said, "I can’t be certain. Fearing to alert the person, I didn’t dare use my Spirit Sense to probe, only catching a fleeting glimpse from afar. However, I once accompanied Supre Elder to the Profound Yin Cave and saw Senior Xue i in person. The person I encountered in the market today looked almost identical to her."
Yang Yu’s heart stirred at these words.
Xue i had claid that the Blood of Fallen Immortal was a living entity hidden within a secret realm on the Tianyuan Continent. This was why Yang Yu had agreed to ally with the Profound Yin Sect and launch attacks on other sects—they were actually searching for these secret realms under their control.
Yet, after the Profound Yin Sect and the Beastmaster Sect had seized control of most of the Tianyuan Continent’s Immortal Cultivation World and explored countless secret realms, they had found no trace of the Blood of Fallen Immortal. This made Yang Yu suspect that Xue i and Gui Ni were hiding sothing.
He now wanted to capture Xue i alive to extract information about the Blood of Fallen Immortal through interrogation.
Yang Yu had already ordered all Golden Core Elders within the sect to report any sightings of Xue i imdiately.
