Chapter 1507: Chapter 1507: Kindness Acknowledged
Fang Bai and the others each put away their spiritual artifacts, landing on a barren stretch at the edge of the Nether Corpse Land.
At the mont, the edge of the Nether Corpse Land had already attracted hundreds of martial artist teams and loose cultivators, all of whom were staring intently at the thin mist ahead, waiting for the best opportunity to enter.
“Not having been to the Nether Corpse Land for tens of thousands of years, the evil and corpse qi here are heavier than before, and the area has expanded a lot. The number of martial artists coming for training has far exceeded before!”
Fang Bai looked at the bustling crowd around him, feeling deeply moved.
Every expansion of the Nether Corpse Land indicated more powerful beings had fallen here, and after today, who knew how many martial artists would beco part of those corpses.
With the cultivation teams and individual cultivation martial artists combined, there were at least ten thousand people, and so martial artists had entered the Nether Corpse Land days ago, while others were still arriving.
This cycle repeated day after day; almost every day of the year, martial artists would venture into the Nether Corpse Land to explore and seek treasures.
Even on days when the evil and corpse qi were thickest and least suitable for entry, there would be so martial artists who, confident in their abilities, would take the risk to enter.
For those strong ones, the fewer the competitors entering the Nether Corpse Land, the greater their chance of finding treasures and gaining opportunities.
“There are many Golden Pill Experts this ti, making the competition fiercer than ever!”
Yun Man and the martial artists looked around, roughly estimating that in the past, Golden Pill Experts made up only a third of those entering the Nether Corpse Land, but this ti, it was nearly half.
With their team of ten martial artists, it would be great if they could even sip so soup, let alone eat at.
Seeing the powerful experts around them, all eyeing each other like tigers eyeing prey, Yun Man and the others couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened.
“Before coming here, our family head specifically reminded us that if we encounter danger in the Nether Corpse Land, we can lend Brother Fang a hand.”
Yan Zhili suddenly said to Fang Bai.
Hearing this, Yun Man and the others were overjoyed; since Fang Bai was part of their team, the help from the four Golden Core Realm experts from the Yan Family was tantamount to helping them.
But before they could feel happy for long, Yan Zhili added, “Our assistance, however, is limited to the outskirts of the Nether Corpse Land. If you intend to cross the Blood Pool River, we will not be following you there!”
Yun Man and the others couldn’t help feeling disappointed again.
They had tead up to co to the Nether Corpse Land to enter the core region; if they didn’t cross the Blood Pool River, what would be the point?
Fang Bai smiled and said to Yan Zhili, “Brother Yan, I appreciate your kind intentions. But I am determined to cross the Blood Pool River. At that ti, I will entrust Mu Yu to you four to take back to the Yan Family!”
Yun Man and the others were shocked and envious when Fang Bai referred to the Yan Family Head as “Brother”; they did not know the reason behind it.
In the entire Female Immortal City, including the majority of the Yan Family mbers, how many could call Yan Nanshan a brother?
This Fang Bai is not simple!
At this mont, Yun Man and the others had a new understanding of Fang Bai.
They thought the Yan Family sent the four elders, partly to protect the gifted young girl from the Yan Family, but also to back Fang Bai.
With this arrangent, if their team found any cultivation treasures in the Nether Corpse Land, even if Fang Bai didn’t contribute much, could they leave him out of his share?
Not only could they not leave him out, but they would have to give more to keep the four elders of the Yan Family satisfied.
Yun Man and the others felt bitter inside, unsure whether including Fang Bai in the team was a good decision or not.
Seeing Yun Man and the others’ expressions, Fang Bai guessed what they were thinking and could not help but find it amusing, but he did not explain.
He tead up with Yun Man and the others by chance, not to take advantage of them or benefit from them.
Hearing that Fang Bai was going to leave her behind to cross the Blood Pool River by himself, Yan Muyu imdiately protested, saying aggrievedly, “Big brother, you promised to take to play in the Nether Corpse Land. You can’t break your promise! No matter where you go, you have to take with you!”
Fang Bai laughed, “Little Mu Yu, the other side of the Blood Pool River is too dangerous. Big brother’s cultivation level is not enough to protect you! If anything were to happen to you, your parents and family would be heartbroken, and so would big brother! Little Mu Yu, you’re the most obedient, right? Oh, yes, when big brother returns to the Female Immortal City, he will give you a present, and you will definitely like it!”
Yan Muyu obviously cared a lot about the gift Fang Bai promised, and her face finally showed so smiles. She nodded obediently and said, “Alright then! I promise big brother I will go back to the Female Immortal City! But… big brother has to take to play on this side of the Blood Pool River!”
“No problem!”
Having convinced Yan Muyu, Fang Bai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The four elders of the Yan Family nodded to Fang Bai, expressing their gratitude.
Don’t be fooled by Yan Muyu’s young age; when she throws a tantrum, no one can persuade her. If it weren’t for Fang Bai this ti, the four elders of the Yan Family would have had a headache for sure.
Of course, they could forcibly take Yan Muyu back, but for this talented and adorable little girl, unless absolutely necessary, they were reluctant to do so.
If the little girl got angry, she wouldn’t talk to anyone for a long ti. The four elders of the Yan Family adored Yan Muyu like their own, and naturally didn’t want to upset her.
The martial artists waited at the edge of the Nether Corpse Land for several hours, and by noon, a strong wind blew from the direction of Zixia Mountain to the east, dispersing much of the dense evil and corpse qi in front of the martial artists’ eyes.
Originally, the highest cultivation among these martial artists, after entering the Nether Corpse Land, could only use their divine sense to investigate within a few hundred ters, but now, with much of the evil and corpse qi being blown away, the range they could survey had more than doubled.
This ant that when danger presented itself, they would have much more ti to react, allowing them to devise counter-strategies.
“Go!”
As the thick evil and corpse qi beca much thinner under the gust of wind, soone shouted, and thousands of martial artists moved swiftly, surging into the Nether Corpse Land.
Fang Bai and the others followed the crowd, moving forward.
When their group of over ten people stepped into the thin mist, a fierce murderous aura along with a pungent, decaying sll engulfed them.
“Mu Yu, hold your breath!”
Yan Zhili, worried that the various auras in the Nether Corpse Land might affect Yan Muyu’s mind and cause harm, loudly reminded her.
In fact, without his reminder, Fang Bai had already released the Wood Spirit Qi, forming a protective shield around himself and Yan Muyu, shielding them from those dangerous auras.
Seeing Fang Bai use spirit qi protection as soon as he entered the Nether Corpse Land, Yan Zhili moved his lips, wanting to remind Fang Bai that doing so would quickly deplete his spiritual energy, and he might not be able to sustain it for long, but after thinking it over, he ultimately said nothing.
Yan Zhili thought to himself that the family head valued Fang Bai highly, and Yan Muyu was very attached to Fang Bai. If Fang Bai’s spiritual energy ran out too fast and he couldn’t hold on, he would have to retreat from the Nether Corpse Land with them back to Female Immortal City.
For Yan Zhili and the four elders of the Yan Family, that would be the best outco.
