Chapter 19: Who is more sinister?

  The moon is dark and the wind is strong, the jade plate is suspended high, the light and shadow are flashing, and the sparse shadows are swaying.

  "Sprinkle this on her herbs, and if she ventures deeper into the forest at sunset, just wait for her to be swallowed by the dark beast." The voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of anger.

  In the darkness, a woman's voice emerged, gritting her teeth, "Ugly woman, dare to provoke me, I'll make you die without a place to be buried"

  At dawn, the forest of the setting sun is lush with spiritual energy. On the edge of the terrain, amidst the undulating mountains, low-ranking mysterious birds can be seen flying.

  "Yun Yang brother, why don't you come with us instead? It'll be much safer." Nangong Xue tried to persuade Ji Yunyang, as they had a group of skilled people, including two high-ranking Tianxuan masters, who were all stronger than that woman.

  The girl's blue headscarf fluttered in the wind as she danced, not giving him any face. She said casually: "Does this young master not want to be a free mercenary?"

  Nangong Xue is a small and mysterious person. If it weren't for the protection of a group of people, he would dare to enter the Forest of Sunset, fearing that he would be pecked to death, leaving no bones behind.

  Finally, the two groups of people went their separate ways. Nangong Xue was so angry that she stomped her foot and looked at Ling Wusuo's back, a cruel smile floating on her face. Yun Yang Gege is so powerful, he must have a way to protect himself, that damn woman can go die.

  Nan Gong Ye gazed at Ling Wu's back, pursing his lips, his expression ambiguous. Seeing this, Nan Gong Xue's anger surged to her head, clenching her fists in annoyance - could it be that Brother Ye also had a thing for that woman?!

  Ji Yunyang closely followed Ling Wusuo and went, making sure there was no one around before asking in confusion: "Wusuo, why did you stop me last night? That Nangong Xue must have made a move, secretly sprinkling something on your spiritual medicine."

  "I know," Ling Wu Xiang smiled indifferently, "She just sprinkled some flower bee powder."

  "What, Huafang powder." Ji Yunyang was shocked and pressed down on her medicine basket, "Why didn't you say that earlier, that stuff can kill people."

  The fragrance of the flower bee powder, attracting the mysterious beast, in the forest of sunset, that's a deadly move, fortunately they haven't gone deep yet, and haven't met any fierce mysterious beasts. That Nan Gong Xue is really ruthless.

  Ji Yun Yang's face sank, and she turned around and left, "This Nan Gong Xue must pay the price for her actions."

  She really thought that Musou was easy to bully?! Having gotten on the bad side of the Flower Bee Powder, they can't even enter the Forest of Sunset now. Provoking the Beast Tide isn't a joke!

  Ling Wushuang grasped Ji Yunyang, laughing: "Don't be in a hurry, I haven't finished speaking yet. It's just a bit of Huafeng powder. All it takes is one stem of Tianxiang orchid to disperse it. Unfortunately, my medicine basket happens to have one."

  Ji Yunyang's face slightly changed color, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "It's still not okay, then I also want to ask for an explanation, it can't end like this."

  "There's something else I forgot to mention." Ling Wu Xiang continued walking forward, saying nonchalantly: "When Nangong Yue approached me, I accidentally spilled a packet of bee king powder on the ground and unfortunately got her covered in it. What can be done about this?"

  She wants to bully her, speaking so loudly, does she think she's deaf? She just happened to hand something over to her.

  "You..." Ling Wu said with a relaxed and pleasant tone, but Ji Yun's face suddenly changed.

  Imagining the scene of Nan Gong Ye and others entering the Sunset Forest, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The Bee King's Powder was even more ferocious than the Flower Bee Powder, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. To say nothing of a whole package, even a pinch-sized amount of powder could trigger a tide of mysterious beasts.

  "You're really too careless." Ji Yunyang rubbed his chin, he had gained a new understanding today, and yet he was still so careless? He hadn't even noticed it himself.

  "What's with that expression." Ling Wu Xiang saw Ji Yun Yang standing there in a daze, casually plucked a sprig of spiritual grass, and smiled with an innocent face, "She kindly sent me something, I'm just returning the favor, after all, it's said that I don't hold grudges"

  Ji Yun's mouth twitched, her teeth ached slightly, it was indeed a big gift, this was a gift that would bury people alive, Nan Gong Ye and the others could only wish for good luck.

  Slightly deeper into the sunset forest, the two carefully avoided the mysterious beast and made their way back to the lair of the poisonous dragon. It was already the time when the sun sets in the west, and the remaining sunlight cast a warm glow over the ancient trees and old vines.

  "It shouldn't be here." After observing from the tree for a long time, Ling Wushuang flipped down and quickly arrived at Long She Lan's place.

  The sunset filtered through the trees, and the light spots fell down. A dozen or so Dragon Snake Orchids, with slender fingers, were entirely bright red, like agate, exquisite and unparalleled. The trembling flowers at the top emitted a rich and refreshing fragrance.

  "This is indeed a good thing." Ji Yunyang was somewhat surprised, no wonder Wú Shuāng didn't mind going back and forth, one Dragon Snake Orchid, even the elders of the Holy Hall would be moved.

  Ling Wushuang took out the porcelain bottle he had prepared earlier, collected the floral liquid, and then picked off the flower itself. The Dragon Snake Orchid was precious all over, of course, he couldn't let it go to waste.

  "That venomous dragon has vanished into thin air, I was still thinking of its silver horn being forged into a weapon." Ji Yunyang glanced around casually and said some cool words.

  He didn't expect that this poisonous dragon had already reached the ninth stage, close to the existence of a sacred beast. If they were to clash head-on, it would be fatal.

  Suddenly, Ling Wushuang's body stiffened, and Ji Yunyang also sensed that something was off, her hand silently sliding to the short gun.

  Silk

  The shrub shook, a huge snake head poked out with a loud hiss, like a dragon emerging from the sea. The large, diamond-shaped eyes gleamed with toxic light, locking onto the two people. The snake's body undulated as it spat out venom, its triangular skull and shiny silver horns pressing down on them like a mountain peak, sudden and overwhelming!

  "Run!" A loud shout, Ling Wushuang flipped out, and at the same time, gritted his teeth and said: "Ji Yunyang, I really want to tear your crow mouth apart."

  Ji Yunyang reacted extremely quickly, leaping into the air, and with a loud crash, the silver horn of the Earth Poisonous Dragon shattered the trunk of the giant tree.

  The poisonous dragon's eyes shone brightly, locking onto the two people. Its snake-like body twisted and shot out like lightning, with flames of anger bursting from its venomous eyes. The tiny humans actually dared to steal its spiritual medicine.

  "Heavens, what a powerful attack!" Ji Yunyang was shocked beyond measure, and at this moment, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This Silver Horn is indeed a good thing."

  He also underestimated the strength of this guy, but at this time, there was no more time to complain. The two jumped rapidly between the trees, bringing their speed to the extreme.

  "Boom——"

  The snake's body rolled and twisted through the trees, darting back and forth freely, quickly catching up to the two. Its sharp fangs were like daggers, its bloody mouth wide open, suddenly appearing before them. Ling Wu Shuang's body twisted in a shocking dodge, aiming for an opportunity, Ji Yun Yang struck out with her spear, striking with a crisp sound, the short spear seemingly hitting steel-reinforced bones. The giant snake's scales were scarlet red, its poisonous fangs emitting a cold glow, yet it was completely unharmed.

  Hurry up

  The two of them exchanged a glance and flipped their bodies out from under the giant snake's attack.

  Silk

  Rumble

  Two people ran rapidly in front, behind them it was like a flood had passed, trees constantly collapsing, rocks and grass flying about, a serpent several meters long stretched out horizontally, large areas of trees and bushes crashing down, as if a violent wind had swept past.

  "Damn it, we need to think of a way to shake it off." Ling Wusuo cursed under his breath. This guy had been tailing them for half a day already, and if they continued like this, they would be done for sooner or later.

  "For now, there's no way." Ji Yun Yang tapped her foot lightly and took off with the wind.

  "Bang Bang——"

  "Wooo——Wooo——"

  "Hooooo..."

  A giant snake followed closely, like a whirlwind sweeping away the remaining clouds. At this time, the sound of clashing swords and the chaotic cries of various mysterious beasts could be faintly heard from all directions. Ling Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, but her feet didn't stop for a moment. As soon as she lifted her foot, the tree was swept away by the giant snake and fell with a loud crash.

  "It's Nan Gong Ye" Ji Yunyang was slightly surprised, surrounded by a small tide of mysterious beasts. Long-whiskered tiger, fire cloud wolf, shadow mouse, lightning bird... all were third or fourth rank mysterious beasts, but the number was astonishing, densely packed, tightly surrounding them. A group of people with torn clothes and covered in blood, looked extremely disheveled.

  However, at this time, Ji Yunyang was too busy to take care of himself and couldn't help but laugh.

  "Let's go, we're going." Ling Wu Shuang hooked a smile and rushed towards Nan Gong Ye and the others, shouting loudly: "Nan Gong Ye, several elders, we've come to help you."

  Ji Yun's eyes widened in surprise, and she hastily stopped him, "Wu Shuang, we're also struggling to take care of ourselves right now. Let's get rid of this big guy first."

  They're now nowhere to be found when others need help, and they themselves are barely holding on for dear life.

  Ling Wushuang smiled slyly and gave Ji Yunyang a meaningful glance, her petite figure darted off like lightning towards Nan Gongyan and the others in the beast tide. Ji Yunyang suddenly realized something, his face twisted slightly, "This doesn't seem quite right."

  It turned out that Ji Yunyang rubbed his chin, chuckled twice, and suddenly sprinted towards Nan Gongyan and the others, shouting loudly: "Brother Nan Gong, esteemed elders, we've come to help you!"

  "Ahhh——" A green wolf bit Nan Gong Yan, the next second, he was cut in half by a sword, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

  Unexpectedly, they encountered a surge of beasts, and at this time, they were already overwhelmed. One by one, they were covered in dust and dirt, even the two old men in gray robes suffered quite a few injuries. At this moment, everyone looked up to see two people rushing towards them, which was simply like delivering charcoal in the snow. Everyone secretly thought that this woman indeed had a noble bearing, and she actually lent a helping hand.

  "It's great, it's Yun Yang Gege." Nangong Xue was scared and hid behind the crowd, but also suffered a lot of injuries.

  However, before the two of them approached, the originally ferocious Xuan beast was trembling all over its body, as if it had sensed something terrifying. Its legs were shaking in twos and threes, its eyes flickering with fear, and it retreated one after another.

  Nangong Ye's face was covered in blood, and as he looked up, he saw the dust flying behind them, trees collapsing, his back suddenly felt numb, and a bad premonition suddenly surged up.

  "Halt! You are not allowed to pass!" The two old men in grey robes also sensed something was amiss and shouted loudly, attempting to stop the two people who were rushing towards them.
