Chapter 2335: Night Wolf Clan

Chapter 2335: Chapter 2335: Night Wolf Clan

Faced with the man’s inquiry, the woman spoke solemnly:

"There’s no mistake in sensing it."

"You should know, for this journey to the Ancient Realm, the clan elders gave me a life-preserving magic artifact."

The man was taken aback.

"What?"

"Could it be that the magic artifact reacted just now?"

The woman nodded.

"Indeed!"

The man suddenly appeared a bit unsettled.

"How is that possible!"

"That magic artifact only reacts in the presence of an Integration Realm elder, or a magic treasure surpassing a Primordial Ancient Treasure."

"That kid absolutely can’t be an Integration Realm elder."

"Could it be..."

The man’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

"The kid has a magic treasure surpassing a Primordial Ancient Treasure?"

"That’s even more impossible."

"A magic treasure surpassing a Primordial Ancient Treasure can only be a Plane Treasure."

"But Plane Treasures are such high-level artifacts that even our Sea Demon Clan doesn’t possess one, how could that kid have one."

The woman hesitated for a moment and said:

"Actually, the magic artifact inside me did react, but it wasn’t very strong."

"I suspect he might not have a complete Plane Treasure."

"The likelihood is that he has an incomplete Plane Treasure."

"But we can’t rule out other possibilities either!"

"That’s why I stopped you from making a move."

"Because even an incomplete Plane Treasure is absolutely beyond what the two of us can handle."

Upon hearing this, the man’s eyes flickered with a struggle, and even a bit of greed.

"Our clan has never had a complete Plane Treasure, only two incomplete Plane Treasures in the hands of the Clan Leader and the Great Elder."

"If we could seize the incomplete Plane Treasure from that kid, it would be a tremendous boost not only for ourselves but for the entire Sea Demon Clan."

The woman, hearing this, looked at the man and saw the greed in his eyes.

The woman immediately reminded:

"No way!"

"We cannot take such a risk."

"We are carrying out the mission assigned by the Clan Leader upon entering the Ancient Realm."

"The Clan Leader has instructed us to complete the mission at all costs."

"Nothing else should interfere with the mission."

"For this mission, our Sea Demon Clan has sacrificed dozens of ancestors, taking thousands of years to get to this point; we must not waver because of treasure."

"Besides, have you forgotten?"

"A group from the Divine Horn Clan seems to have gone in the direction of those three as well."

"It’s possible they might clash, and then there will be even more variables."

"Therefore, we cannot be distracted."

With the woman’s words, the man’s greed eventually subsided.

"Forget it, I was just considering it."

"You’re right, the mission should come first."

"If we complete the mission, surely there will be generous rewards from the clan, even if they don’t compare to the incomplete Plane Treasure, they won’t be far off."

Saying this, the two of them quickly disappeared into the sky.

...

Meanwhile, seeing that the two from the Sea Demon Clan actually retreated.

Liu Ye and Shi Xuan found it unbelievable.

After all, before Zhou Yu arrived, they had already fought.

Frankly speaking, the two of them were being suppressed.

It’s hard to imagine the arrogance of the Sea Demon Clan, actually retreating voluntarily.

In contrast, Zhou Yu had a flash of doubt in his eyes.

He was very perceptive.

Especially towards the woman of the Sea Demon Clan.

He always felt that the woman seemed to have discovered some secret of his, which is why they retreated.

However, that was just speculation.

Zhou Yu didn’t think much more about it.

Subsequently, the three of them continued on their journey.

On the road, Zhou Yu said:

"I see the state of both Daoist friends is not good, why don’t we find a place, rest for a few days, and wait until you both are completely recovered before continuing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan exchanged a glance.

Then Liu Ye spoke:

"Thank you, Daoist Zhou, for your concern."

"Our injuries are not severe, if we travel at this pace, we can recover while on the move."

Zhou Yu however, disagreed.

"The dangers of the Ancient Realm, I’m sure you’ve both witnessed."

"In addition to those terrifying demon beasts, there are many cultivators from outside who have entered."

"These people are the top talents of each race."

"If we can’t maintain a peak state at all times, it’s easy to put ourselves in a disadvantageous position."

"Not everyone will retreat as those two did just now."

In fact, what Zhou Yu wanted to say more was.

He didn’t want to have to cover for these two all the time.

After all, the more he steps in, the more of his own power gets exposed.

In a place like this, once all of one’s trump cards are exposed, it’s not far from death.

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Liu Ye showed hesitation.

"It’s just that we’ve already wasted quite some time in the Dark Night Rainforest, what if..."

At this point, Shi Xuan suddenly spoke up.

"I think Daoist Zhou’s suggestion makes a lot of sense."

"Why don’t we just find a place to rest for a few days and recover our state!"

"A few days of delay won’t have too much impact."

"It’s just that we’ll have a few less days to cultivate later."

Upon hearing Shi Xuan agree, Liu Ye no longer hesitated.

"Very well then."

"Let’s go with what the two Daoists suggest."

Subsequently, the three began to search for a safe place.

About half a day later, they arrived in front of a verdant mountain peak.

Zhou Yu scouted the area and said:

"This place is good."

"There’s nothing unusual around; a few days’ rest here is quite suitable."

"Alright."

"Then the two of us will go into seclusion to recover, and in these few days, we’ll trouble Daoist Zhou to protect us."

Liu Ye said to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Rest assured, Daoist friends, and go ahead."

Liu Ye and Shi Xuan stopped speaking further and immediately went into seclusion.

Three days later, the figures of Zhou Yu and the others turned into streams of light, rising up and flying into the distance.

In the following half month, Zhou Yu and the others hardly stopped, traveling day and night.

They encountered several demon beasts along the way.

But compared to the demon beasts in the Dark Night Rainforest, the ones on this journey were much weaker.

Zhou Yu and the group easily exterminated them.

Another half month passed.

Zhou Yu and company were on the move when suddenly they were surrounded by four dark-skinned alien cultivators.

These people seemed to have been lying in wait for some time.

As they passed, they launched a surprise attack.

Zhou Yu reacted first.

He immediately called out to remind Liu Ye and Shi Xuan.

"Be careful, you two."

While speaking, Zhou Yu locked onto two of them and began to counterattack.

Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s warning, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan each faced off against one of the opponents.

A fierce battle began.

However, these four, faced with the counterattack of Zhou Yu’s group, did not engage directly. Instead, they began using various divine spells to wear them down.

It seemed like they were trying to stall Zhou Yu and the others.

At this moment, Liu Ye shouted anxiously.

"Daoist Zhou, Daoist Shi, these people are from the Night Wolf Clan."

"They’re somewhat similar to those demon beasts from the Dark Night Rainforest. Once the sun and moon cycle, their power will be greatly enhanced, we can’t let them hold us up..."
