Chapter 148 Gu Ping's Decision, 3 Black-haired Lions
“Fellow Daoist Luo Yun, you are different from me. I am just the patriarch of a small family. Where would I get so many resources to raise two demonic beasts?”
"As for the one beneath me, I usually only feed it the flesh and blood of a first-tier demon beast. The resources I obtain are barely enough for my own cultivation, so how can I possibly give them away to others?"
Xia Yuhui smiled faintly. In his eyes, whether it was the gentle breeze and bright moon or the beast under his crotch, they were nothing more than tools for him to become stronger, and he would not bother to cultivate them.
If faced with a life-or-death crisis, he wouldn't hesitate and could directly discard these material possessions.
Upon hearing Xia Yuhui's words, Daoist Luoyun immediately showed a surprised expression, and then suddenly realized what he meant.
Yes, Xia Yuhui's cultivation has improved so rapidly, he must have invested a lot of resources.
“I see. It seems I can’t raise too many demonic beasts. Consider this a favor I owe you. As for the other demonic beast, since you really don’t want it, I’ll take it back and give it to my fellow disciples.”
Favors have both advantages and disadvantages, but owing favors to someone like Xia Yuhui is probably only a good thing.
After the two cleaned up the battlefield, the others received the news and arrived one after another.
After landing, Gu Ping nodded in satisfaction, clearly pleased with the speed of the two.
"Everyone, we still have a long way to go. Let's rest here and recover our mana for now."
Knowing that the demonic energy remaining here was very strong, Gu Ping chose to rest here for a while. With such a dense demonic energy, the surrounding demons would definitely not dare to come over.
After resting for a while, the group set off again.
Along the way, the group began to encounter some second-tier demonic beasts. Their approach was to kill them if possible, and to avoid provoking them if they were too far away or too numerous.
Three hours later, the group had flown a full 20,000 li. At this point, they had reached the deepest part of the outer perimeter of the Northern Frontier. If they continued to go deeper, they might reach the true Northern Frontier.
The Northern Frontier is a vast and seemingly endless land, and it seems that no powerful cultivator in the surrounding area has ever been able to cross this abyss.
Currently, their location can only be described as having just entered the true northern frontier. If they continue to venture tens of thousands of miles deeper, they might encounter third-tier demonic beasts, and after traveling another million miles or so, they might even encounter legendary fourth-tier demonic beasts.
This is the northern frontier, this is the abyss of reality known as the forbidden zone for humans.
At this moment, sensing the increasing number of demonic beasts around them, everyone's hearts began to tense up. At this time, Xia Yuhui also released a little more of his divine sense.
This was also his first time venturing so deep into northern Xinjiang, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.
"Senior brother, is this distance enough?"
"Yes, senior brother, the mission the sect gave us isn't far from here. Why don't we turn back?"
At this moment, Cao Tai and Luo Yun Dao Ren, both late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, also began to persuade them. They were human too, and they were afraid as well.
Hearing his two junior brothers trying to persuade him, Gu Ping began to hesitate. However, he then remembered the words his master had said to him before he left.
"If we find nothing unusual during this mission, we should go deeper. I need accurate information. I haven't reached an agreement with those three demonic beasts yet, and I'm afraid they have other plans."
"Disciple knows!"
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said firmly, "No, we must go deeper. That's what Master said."
When Chaotai and Luoyun Daoist heard Gu Ping's objection, they immediately tried to persuade him again, but in the end, they were persuaded to give up because of what their master had said.
Gu Ping saw the expressions on everyone's faces, sighed, and advised, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who seeks death. But I can't disobey my master's orders. If we go another 20,000 miles and don't find any large herds of beasts or anything unusual, then we'll go back."
After saying that, he transformed into a piece of cloth again and sped off into the distance.
They gave no one a chance to refute them.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to continue risking their lives to accompany the beast.
Xia Yuhui also felt uneasy at this moment. Guiyun Sect had gone too far. At this time, within a range of 20,000 li, one or two demonic beasts could be encountered every three li, and one second-tier demonic beast could be encountered every thousand li. If they traveled another 20,000 li, they might encounter those second-tier great demons or even third-tier demon kings.
However, he was truly helpless. It was an order, and he had no choice but to obey. He had never heard of many people who openly opposed the Guiyun Sect, and he was clearly not among them.
After the group carefully traveled another 10,000 li, Gu Ping suddenly stopped. Xia Yuhui, who was behind him, could no longer pretend and his face turned gloomy.
By this time, he had already prepared to run away, so that if any accident occurred, he could simply turn tail and run.
What terrified him so much was that there was a second-tier great demon ahead, and it was a three-headed black-haired lion with a very high bloodline.
And it seems the lion has already caught their scent and is on its way.
Gu Ping pondered for a moment, then turned to look over, but he didn't speak, clearly communicating with Luo Yun Dao Ren and Cao Tai.
Just as Xia Yuhui was getting anxious, a voice came to his ear, "Fellow Daoist Chi Lei, I also just wanted you to find that lion. I have a way to deal with that lion. I wonder if you could come with us and continue traveling another ten thousand miles?"
"Don't worry, as long as this mission is completed, I will definitely report to the sect leader and ask for credit for you. At that time, it is not impossible to obtain a third-tier cultivation technique."
Xia Yuhui had no time to think about any of that. He was already cursing this man to the core. What kind of time was this to be making empty promises? What kind of third-tier cultivation technique was that? Did Xia Yuhui need it?
Even if he was short, he wouldn't gamble with his life. Their overall strength was indeed far superior to that three-headed black-haired lion. But where was this place?
This is deep in the northern frontier. Fighting a noble-blooded demon beast here would attract countless other demon beasts to gang up on you.
Upon realizing this, he immediately expressed his opposition.
“Fellow Daoist Gu, let’s retreat. For you, that three-armed black-haired lion is indeed nothing special, but this is the Northern Frontier. Once we make a move, there’s no turning back.”
This time, Gu Ping didn't reply; he just needed to confirm Xia Yuhui's attitude.
Time ticked by as Gu Ping pondered, while the other members of the team spotted the lion. Their expressions changed drastically, and some even began to flee.
"Retreat! If that monster comes after us again, we'll leave it on the outskirts."
After thinking for a while, Gu Ping still chose to retreat. If they encountered this monster, it was their bad luck. When they got to his master, he would have something to say.
