The Black Tiger Demon King was ambushed by Lv Ruoxi, and it glared at her with raging murderous intent in its eyes.
Lv Ruoxi was startled, her expression turning pale, and she quickly retreated towards Li Yunjing.
"Don’t be afraid! I’m here!"
Li Yunjing arrived in ti, pulled Lv Ruoxi into his embrace, and once again aid the "Yin Yang Five Elents Celestial Derivation Sword" at the Black Tiger Demon King, slashing down!
"Roar..."
The Black Tiger Demon King struggled desperately and roared furiously, sending out shockwaves that knocked down the surrounding mountains, rocks, and vegetation.
However, Li Yunjing was already enveloped in the "Five-Colored Divine Light," resisting the shockwaves. With a "thud", the "Yin Yang Five Elents Celestial Derivation Sword" pierced the heart of the Black Tiger Demon King.
"Roar..."
The Black Tiger Demon King let out a shrill cry, and its body began to tremble violently.
The light in its eyes gradually dimd, and its massive body slowly fell, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Looking at the fallen Black Tiger Demon King, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao felt both excited and fearful.
In this battle, although they were not the main force, they played a supporting role and truly fought against a Tier Three Demon King.
Li Yunjing sheathed the "Yin Yang Five Elents Celestial Derivation Sword" and looked at everyone, saying, "Is everyone alright?"
"I’m fine!"
Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all shook their heads, indicating they were not seriously hurt.
"Participating in slaying a Tier Three Demon King was truly exhilarating!"
Fu Chao said with lingering fear.
"We were careless this ti!"
Li Yunjing nodded, "From now on, in this ’Endless Mountain Range,’ we must be more careful. The materials from the Black Tiger Demon King’s body are all valuable treasures; let’s process them first and then continue our search for clues to the ’Celestial Ruins Secret Realm.’
Hearing this, everyone set to work, starting to process the Black Tiger Demon King’s corpse.
After finishing, Li Yunjing looked around and found himself on a small hill, only a few dozen feet high, a re mound compared to the peaks they had traversed earlier.
In the distance, he could see a small village with smoke curling up, finally spotting signs of habitation.
"There’s a village over there!"
Li Yunjing cald down, knowing that reaching the village would be arduous despite the distance seeming short.
Although it looked close, it was actually dozens of miles away.
"Damn, there are people living in these mountains. It seems they are locals. Let’s go and have a look, maybe we can gather so information!"
Fu Chao, upon seeing this, also brightened up and exclaid.
"Let’s go! Have a look!"
Li Yunjing nodded, and with Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, they swiftly traversed the dense mountain forests toward the distant village.
Minutes later, the four of them finally arrived outside the village. The hardworking villagers stared in amazent at the four strangers, handso n and beautiful won.
These rustic villagers had never seen such immortal-like figures before.
"Honored Immortals, where do you hail from?"
A burly man summoned the courage to step forward, bow, and ask.
In the "Endless Mountain Range," demon beasts and Immortal Masters often flew by, but it was the first ti the villagers had seen them visit their village, leaving them stunned.
Seeing the villagers’ evasive glances, Li Yunjing and his companions felt quite emotional.
Life’s destiny is unpredictable.
More than a decade ago, Li Yunjing was a mortal who entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, becoming a cultivator, possessing Divine Techniques, magic, unparalleled magical treasures, and a lifespan far beyond mortals.
Over the years, Li Yunjing had visited countless places and t countless people.
However, close interactions with mortals had beco exceedingly rare.
"Brave one, we four co from beyond those mountains and lost our way. May I ask, brother, where we are?"
Li Yunjing asked, feeling sowhat anxious, fearing the other might know nothing, a confused individual.
"Immortal Master, did you co from the legendary ’Youyue Country’?"
The burly man, upon hearing this, was stirred and asked.
"We indeed co from the ’Youyue Country’."
Li Yunjing felt delighted and quickly asked, "Does the brave one know about ’Youyue Country’?"
"Our village has lived on the edge of the ’Endless Mountain Range’ for generations."
The burly man scratched his head and laughed sheepishly, "The elders say ’Youyue Country’ is on the other side of the mountains, very far away."
"However, occasionally a caravan from the ’Youyue Country’ passes by here, though it’s a rare occurrence, perhaps every few decades."
The burly man added.
"Do you know if there are any strange places nearby?"
Fu Chao eagerly asked from the side.
Interacting with mortals, Fu Chao clearly lacked patience.
His tone was quite impatient.
He had an air of arrogance.
This deanor nearly identical to most cultivators.
Upon hearing about strange places, the burly man’s face slightly changed, and a trace of awe flickered in his eyes.
This expression was imdiately noticed by Li Yunjing and his companions, who beca expectant.
In this small village, Li Yunjing and the others were confident they would uncover the truth!
These re mortals, should they dare to conceal anything, could easily be dealt with using magic!
No need for a Soul Search!
A simple use of "hypnotism" would be enough for these villagers to reveal everything they knew.
"Immortal Master, a thousand miles northeast from here, there’s a rumored mysterious valley, elders say it’s very enigmatic, and those who enter never co out!"
The burly man introduced, finally cautioning, "Even Immortal Masters who entered never ca out!"
"Oh?"
After hearing his words, Li Yunjing and his companions exchanged glances, showing interest.
The more mysterious a place is, the more likely Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are born!
Even if it has nothing to do with the "Celestial Ruins Secret Realm," it’s worth exploring!
