"Brat, we don't need to pass the Tree Race. I know a shortcut." Qingtan transformed into a cloudy water droplet as she transmitted to Ye Tian.
"Shortcut? Didn't they say that the Nine Heavens Dao Palace was located at the innermost part of Savage Forest? The Tree Race should be the only way. " Ye Tian asked in confusion. Although he agreed to work with Qing Tan, Ye Tian was still wary of this old monster.
"Go straight ahead. There's a gorge next to the Tree Race region. Once you pass that gorge, you'll be very close to the Ninedust Sectlord." Qing Tan answered.
"It's best if you don't lie to me. If you don't, don't even think about entering the Nine Heavens Dao Palace." Ye Tian reminded.
"Hmph. Boy, who do you think I am? Since I said that I won't attack you on the road, I will naturally keep my promise. We Monstrous Clans are not as treacherous as you humans." Qingtan coldly snorted upon hearing this.
"That's for the best." Ye Tian lightly replied as he rode his Three-eyed Poisonous Wolf and followed Qing Tan's directions.
Ye Tian rode the Three Eye Poisonous Wolf for a day or so before a canyon appeared in front of them. The two sides of the canyon were at least dozens of feet high.
"This is the canyon. As long as you walk this path, you will be able to save at least half of the journey. However, this canyon is very rugged and difficult to traverse. Occasionally, there will be Mountain Essence Stone Monsters." Qing Tan reminded her.
"Heh, your words sound good, but in your heart, I'm afraid you'd like for me to be harmed by the Mountain's Stone Monster." Ye Tian smiled.
Qingtan chose to remain silent when she heard this. Ye Tian, upon seeing this, did not say much and let the Three-eyed Poisonous Wolf walk slowly into the canyon.
This canyon was long and winding. Ye Tian rode the Three Eye Poisonous Wolf for an entire day and didn't see the end. The further they went in, the more eerie the canyon became. Strange howls would occasionally be heard.
"I was wondering how long this gorge is going to last. Why is it not the end yet?" Finally, Ye Tian impatiently asked.
"Soon, we're almost halfway through. We'll be able to cross the canyon in a day." Qing Tan answered.
However, at this moment, a huge rock fell from the top of the canyon with a bang and headed straight for Ye Tian's head. Ye Tian, upon seeing this, did not panic and shot out a finger's worth of energy.
"Heh heh, kid, it seems like you have been targeted by some Mountain Spirit Stone monster. You can settle these small matters yourself. I only promised that I wouldn't attack you on the way, I didn't promise to help you clear the obstacles." Qing Tan gloated a little before falling silent.
When Ye Tian saw this, he was angered. Right now, he even suspected that Qing Tan had purposely let him walk this path and use the hands of those monsters to deal with him. But at this time, he didn't have time to think too much about it. After Ye Tian smashed the stone, rumbling sounds could be heard one after another. Following which, the stone fragments that filled the sky began to fall down from the two sides of the canyon.
Seeing this, Ye Tian continued to let the three poisonous wolves carry him forward at high speeds while he continued to strike and break apart the rocks that came flying at him. After ten breaths, the rocks that filled the sky finally stopped, but at this moment, a large amount of sweat from the blood-colored armor and the black Guan Dao in his hand stopped Ye Tian's path.
"Tai, I am the one who opened this mountain and planted this tree. From now on, I want to live it and leave behind money to buy it." Big Sweat stomped the Guan Dao in his hand on the ground and roared.
This big sweat voice was extremely rough, it scared the Three-Eye Poisonous Wolf so much that it stopped. Ye Tian was also stunned when he saw this, but when he heard the sweat, he felt a burst of laughter in his heart. This was clearly a monster that had never seen the world. Who knew where he picked up a few words of robbery.
Ye Tianming swept the area with his divine sense and discovered that this fella was at the late stage of Soul Formation. His muscles were bulging, so this must be some sort of stone essence from the valley. Thus, Ye Tian tried to tease him.
Ye Tian laughed and said, "Haha, friend, you said that this mountain was opened by you, and this tree was planted by you. I wonder what cultivation you have for you to actually be able to split open such a canyon, could you be the reincarnation of an ancient almighty being?
It was obvious that this big sweat was the type that wasn't very bright. After hearing Ye Tian's question, his face immediately became completely confused as he stuttered, "This ? This ? Ai, why do you have so many things to say? Leave the spirit stones on you and you can leave. Otherwise, don't blame this grandpa for being merciless."
"Hehe, this friend, don't be so angry. Don't you want spirit stones? I do. " As Ye Tian spoke, he took out a low rank soul stone and threw it at Big Sweat.
Big Sweat took the stone and saw that it was actually a small piece of low-grade spirit stone. He immediately shouted, "You don't dress like a poor cultivator. Why is there only such a small spirit stone to let me search?"
Friend, this one only has this small amount of spirit stones. My friend did not know that this one was adopted since childhood and was subjected to abuse before I managed to escape. It took me a very long time to obtain this small amount of spirit stones. Ye Tian said with tears and snot running down his face.
"This... but you don't have enough of this stuff." Big Sweat was at a loss on what to do.
"Alright, enough playing, we seem to have been targeted." Qing Tan suddenly transmitted her voice.
"Targeted? Isn't it just this guy in front of us? " Ye Tian replied indifferently.
It's not that stone essence spirit, but it should be someone from the Serpent Clan. Although the scent is very faint, this old man can still smell it from the three great races that belong to the central region of Savage Forest. There is the aura of an expert from the Serpent Clan nearby. Qing Tan transmitted her voice.
"Hah, you are a Loose Immortal of the Seventh Tribulation. What are you afraid of?" Ye Tian laughed.
"Hmph. If this old man had the power of a Loose Immortal of the seventh tribulation, he would still need to transform into water droplets." Qing Tan coldly snorted. However, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly shut his mouth.
"So you don't have the strength of a Seven Calamity Rogue Immortal. Let me say, why didn't you directly snatch the Nine Feather Token from me two days ago? You don't have enough confidence." Ye Tian indifferently replied.
"Hmph, kid, don't think that I can't do anything to you. If you don't leave now, when that Ghost Snake Clan expert attacks, I'm afraid neither of us will be able to escape." Qing Tan shouted in anger.
"Is it that powerful?" Ye Tian casually asked.
"Let me tell you, the Nether Serpent Clan specializes in poison. If they were careless and fell into a trap, they would undoubtedly perish, no matter how high their cultivation is." Qing Tan seemed to be afraid of the Serpent Clan.
"Forget it, it's better to save time than trouble. I think it's better to leave first." Ye Tian thought in his heart before ordering the Three-eyed Poisonous Wolf to continue moving forward.
"Hey, I haven't let you go yet." Big Sweat saw Ye Tian riding his Three Eye Poisonous Wolf towards him. He immediately blocked the passageway and shouted towards Ye Tian.
"Alright, foolish big brother. I don't have the time to play with you tonight. Next time, alright?" Ye Tian indifferently replied. Just as he was about to reply, several figures suddenly appeared behind Ye Tian.
The young man in the lead was a late stage Soul Formation cultivator. As for the other elders, Ye Tian couldn't see their cultivations, but based on the auras they gave off, Ye Tian was sure that they were Rogue Immortals, and high level Loose Immortals at that.
Big Sweat saw the people who had suddenly appeared and said happily, "Hehe, we don't normally see three cultivators. Today, we have several. That one, you guys go ahead and pay your spirit stones according to the rules."
"Is this Fellow Ye the one who killed the Treant Clan's leader, Qingtan, in the Stone Clan?" The young man in the lead ignored Big Khan's words and instead stared at Ye Tian and asked.
"Hehe, Fellow must have recognized the wrong person. I am Black Bear, the descendant of the great ancient demon Black Rock Bear. I am not some Daoist cultivator surnamed Ye." Ye Tian smiled.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist, there is no need to hide it. Although Fellow Daoist has changed his appearance, this White Wolf is very easy to identify with Fellow Daoist's mount in Savage Forest." The young man continued.
"So that's how it is. I assume that you all are the cultivators of the Serpent Clan. I wonder what business you have with me?" Seeing that the other party had already recognized him, Ye Tian decided to stop arguing.
"Nether Serpent clan?" Hearing this, the big sweat stone spirit immediately quivered, looking somewhat fearfully at the young man and the others.
"Haha, actually, it's nothing. I am the son of the Serene Serpent Clan's clan leader, You Lanqing. I heard that Fellow was able to kill the seven tribulations Loose Immortal Qing Tan by himself. I was specially here to befriend you." The young man cupped his hands and smiled to Ye Tian.
"He killed a Loose Immortal of the seventh tribulation." Hearing this, Big Khan muttered to himself before sitting down on the ground in fright. He stared at Ye Tian's back with an extremely terrified gaze.
"Hehe, so it's Fellow You Lan Qing. I apologize for my disrespect, but I do not dare to befriend you. If Fellow has anything to say, please be straightforward." Ye Tian ignored the large perspiration that had gone out of control behind him as he spoke with a faint smile to You Lan Qing.
"Hehe, Fellow Ye is truly a straightforward person. Since that is the case, I shall not beat around the bush, and after I heard that Qingtan was killed by Fellow, my original body was taken by you, my Serpent clan is very interested in Qingtan's original body, and I wonder if Fellow can let my Serpent clan win. I will definitely use enough magic treasure stones to compensate you, I will not let you suffer any losses." Youlan Qing directly said.
"This ? this matter should be considered by me. One must know that Qing Tan is a Seven Calamity Rogue Immortal, but her entire body is a treasure." Ye Tianming said with difficulty.
"Hehe, of course, we will wait here for your reply." After Faint Blue Day finished speaking, he stood still on the spot.
After that, Ye Tian transmitted to the droplets of water in his embrace, "You heard it. They came for you. Tell me what to do. Why don't I give your true body to them and send them away?"
"Send them away? "Brat, do you still not know that they are here for the Nine Feathers Command? They should know that when I obtained the Nine Feathers Command, there was a leak and they found out about it, they knew that I was cautious by nature and would definitely bring the Nine Feather Command with me, so they exchanged it with your body. As for being polite to you, they probably don't want too many people to know about it, after all, their Serpent Clan is one of the three great races in the Savage Forest, but compared to the inner race and the demon race, it is still a competition between an ant and an elephant." Qing Tan coldly laughed.
"You mean, after they found out about your real body, they would come looking for trouble without the Nine Feathers Dictum?" Ye Tian asked.
"What do you think?" Qing Tan asked back.
"If that's the case, then you can take care of this matter yourself. I don't care about anything else, if you don't, then I'll just hand over the Nine Feather Token to them. I don't have much hope for that Nine Heavens Dao Palace." Ye Tian directly acted like a scoundrel.
"Good, kid, you're quite vicious." Qing Tan gritted her teeth as she replied.
