Chapter 618 - 617: Wanting to Become a Great Senior Like Po Xiao

Chapter 618: Chapter 617: Wanting to Become a Great Senior Like Po Xiao

The arrival of the Black-robed Demon Cultivator made their situation even worse.

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Do we know each other?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator replied, "The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. This is our third encounter, so we can be considered friends."

Chi Xue Child asked, "Can I borrow some money?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator: "..."

’Asking to borrow money is basically a friendship-ender, isn’t it?’

"I’m a little short on cash recently," the Black-robed Demon Cultivator said. "But if you’re willing to entrust your Red Sword to me for safekeeping, I wouldn’t have a problem giving you some money."

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "If you’re not going to lend us any, just say so. What kind of friend are you? You should leave."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator: "..."

Finally, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator said, "Let’s make a deal. I’m exceptionally good at escaping, but head-on confrontations are a bit difficult for me."

Chi Xue Child was surprised. "I remember you’re just using Nightmare Assistance. You shouldn’t be weak yourself."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator looked at the flowers and twitched. "I have... pollen allergies..."

Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."

Chi Xue Child: "..."

They had discovered a huge secret.

But the Black-robed Demon Cultivator was an old fox. Who knew if he was telling the truth?

However, he was right about one thing. He was skilled at escaping. With him around, their chances of survival would be much more stable.

Fine, they had no choice but to agree.

And so, the group began their endless, large-scale escape.

They were caught up to several times. If it weren’t for Blade Master Hai Bian being tanky enough, they might have all been turned into pincushions.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator said to Chi Xue Child, "You’ve got it the easiest. Can’t you pull some weight?"

Chi Xue Child replied, "Don’t bother me. I’m contacting Po Xiao."

Well, the supposedly useless Chi Xue Child had suddenly become important.

It made sense. Between the two of them, one was focused on escaping and the other on tanking. Neither had the spare time to contact Po Xiao.

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Hurry up! If you don’t, we’re all dead. Also, can’t you just call directly instead of sending messages?"

Chi Xue Child said helplessly, "The call won’t go through. There’s nothing I can do. I can only @ them."

Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."

’So, we’re constantly on his block list?’

————

While Blade Master Hai Bian and his two companions were being hunted, another person appeared in the forest.

He walked across the grass, and everywhere he passed turned to withered land. All life vanished in his wake.

"Such pure Spiritual Qi. No wonder the Celestial God Flower grows in this place. The people from the Holy Land are all brawn and no brains. I managed to slip in so easily this time."

"Speaking of which, whose cave mansion is this?"

"That wretched old man’s, right?"

"JIE JIE... If I didn’t understand his forging skills, I really wouldn’t have been able to get in." The man revealed a sinister smile.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a grotesque grin, giving off a creepy feeling.

Naturally, he also encountered the animate flowers and trees, but unfortunately for them, they were sucked dry in an instant.

"Just a bunch of mindless weeds." With that, the man headed straight for the depths of the forest.

Deep in the forest was a lake. In the middle of the lake, an ordinary-looking flower bloomed, so plain that almost no one would notice it.

But today, it had been noticed, and by more than one person.

————

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan was also walking through the forest. She had no clear direction, or rather, she wasn’t familiar with this place.

But she had a specific goal.

To achieve this goal, she needed to capture a sentient Spirit Beast to lead the way for her.

As for the surrounding flora, they were nothing a single Magical Treasure of hers couldn’t kill.

This was the difference between a Tier Seven suppressed to Tier Four and an orthodox Tier Four.

Blade Master Hai Bian’s group could only flee for their lives, while Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan could slaughter these things with ease.

Soon, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan found a sentient Spirit Beast—an adorable Flower Demon.

The Flower Demon kept backing away as Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan steadily approached.

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan looked at the Flower Demon and said, "I just want to know one thing. If you can answer me, I won’t harm you."

The little Flower Demon nodded, seeming to have submitted.

"Tell me..."

However, just as Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan was about to ask her question, the Flower Demon made its move. It pressed its hand to the ground, and countless plants and trees began to attack Nan Xuan.

Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan met the assault with indifference. These things were not enough to hurt her.

But by the time she finished dealing with the plants and trees, the Flower Demon had vanished.

"Tch. It’s simply asking to die."

With that, Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan gave chase once more.

There were people everywhere. The Celestial Star Cave Mansion was full of Spirit Medicines and perhaps fewer Magical Treasures, but its inherited Magic techniques were innumerable.

The chances of individuals finding something were high.

But the chances of fights breaking out were just as high, and the number of people who died inside was not small either.

Swordsman Beitian was perhaps the most frustrated of all. He had been happy to get in, hoping to find Po Xiao as soon as possible.

But the Seal had delayed him.

After entering, he was stuck with two deadweights, so he couldn’t move very fast.

As for this place, it wasn’t very dangerous for him.

As long as he didn’t act recklessly, he’d be fine. After all, the Northern Celestial Seven Swords were incredibly powerful, even at Tier Four.

He feared no Cultivator of the same tier. Po Xiao was an exception; in Swordsman Beitian’s heart, Po Xiao was a great senior.

He also hoped to become a great senior like Po Xiao one day. Although he was already considered one now, he always felt he couldn’t compare to Po Xiao.

The goal was a bit distant, but he was always working hard.

’I can’t match Senior Jian Shisan’s incredible spirit, but if I could just achieve Po Xiao’s attitude, that would be enough.’

’To give guidance where it’s needed, without getting too emotional.’

’And to only offer pointers, letting the other person comprehend the rest on their own.’

Although those two Sword Cultivator disciples were annoying, he would still do what needed to be done.

It was a good feeling. He could say he was very lucky to have met Po Xiao at his lowest point.

And it was right around that time that he witnessed Jian Shisan Crossing the Tribulation, which completely reshaped his understanding of Cultivation.

Just then, someone behind him called out, "Martial Uncle, look! We found two swords, and they seem to be a pair."

These two were none other than Chen An and his junior sister, Chen Yu.

Chen An felt particularly wronged. This was all his junior sister’s fault again. If they died, it would be her fault.

Chen Yu didn’t think it was a big deal. ’What did I do wrong?’

Hearing that they’d found a pair of matching swords, Swordsman Beitian felt especially helpless. Even here, these two were still showing off their affection.

’I really want to just slash at them with my sword.’

Just then, Chen Yu pulled up a small tree and said, "Martial Uncle, look, is this a Spirit Tree?"

Swordsman Beitian looked over, his brow furrowing. It was indeed a Spirit Tree, and not an ordinary one at that, especially with the fruit growing on it.

However, at that very moment, a terrifying black aura came whistling toward them.

Swordsman Beitian’s sword flashed, and he immediately unleashed the North Celestial Sword.

With a BOOM, Swordsman Beitian was forced back several steps.

He frowned, staring ahead.

He saw a person in a black robe. All the plants around this person had withered.

One glance was enough to know this person was not to be trifled with.

"You two go first," Swordsman Beitian said.
