Chapter 1612 - 1507: The Predicament of the Huashan Sect Members

At the moment he reached out to pull the brocade banner from the ground, the pillar of light in this world instantly dissipated.

Liu Qinglong held the brocade banner in his hand, experiencing a sensation like ruling the world.

He gazed arrogantly in all directions, laughing, "This is only the first one, we need to capture the other eight flags!"

"Alright!"

Beside him, the disciples of the Wuji Sect were all cheering excitedly.

But soon, Liu Qinglong’s smile faded, as he turned to look at a certain direction in the north.

There seemed to be an unusual aura there.

He took out a Compass from the Void Storage Ring and found the needle pointing north, trembling continuously.

"It’s the prey! He’s actually not dead yet!"

Liu Qinglong’s face showed a hint of displeasure: "What on earth is Blood Child doing, confidently assuring me that the prey wouldn’t survive an hour. It’s almost the second day, how has he not been killed yet!"

"Hehe, Blood Child has shown off enough in the Sect, little does he know his skills outside are just that. Now, he’s realizing others’ strength!"

Someone began to mock.

"Taking so long represents that person’s unusual strength, Senior Brother Liu, shall we all go to kill him together?"

Someone else suggested.

Liu Qinglong immediately shook his head and said, "Just a mere prey, it’s not worth consuming our resources. Order the Poisonous Spider to find the chance to resolve it!"

"Yes!"

...

...

In the southern part of the Secret Realm, a brocade banner stood on a giant rock, emanating a dazzling light.

On the giant rock next to the banner, a toad about 1.5 meters long and 1 meter high lay prostrate, its large eyes moving around, its cheeks intermittently puffing up, producing "gu gu gu" sounds.

Around the toad, several disciples of the Huashan Sect gathered here, led by Su Lingfeng and Ji Yue’Er.

"Senior Sister Ji, the toad’s back is full of poison sacs, if we forcibly kill it, we’ll likely detonate the poison sacs, leading to mutual destruction, which is very unwise."

The one speaking was Hu Boyong, carefully observing the toad with a troubled expression.

Ji Yue’Er remained silent, accustomed to acting alone within the Sect, she was still somewhat uneasy about being the leader of this team.

"Hmph! Just a toad, how can it be as exaggerated as you say!"

At this moment, Zhan Wuji snorted coldly: "If you all are not acting, I will!"

"Zhan Wuji, why are you in such a rush?" Hu Boyong was displeased, "Didn’t the masters instruct you upon entering? Are you planning to defy everyone’s orders?"

"Everyone?" Zhan Wuji’s face showed coldness: "Hu Boyong, stop using hypocrisy as a pretext to command me."

Seeing the impending confrontation, Su Lingfeng smiled bitterly, "Both of you, please calm down, let Senior Sister Ji make the decision for this matter."

As the first of the Bright Monument, Ji Yue’Er was logically the present leader.

Ji Yue’Er shook her head, saying nothing.

"Hmph! You all dilly dally! I’m preparing to act now!" Zhan Wuji couldn’t restrain himself, clasping his fists to his chest, he began to approach the toad.

"Stop!"

Hu Boyong reached out to stop him, "Zhan Wuji, the toad’s poison hasn’t been distributed, are you going to use your recklessness to endanger everyone?"

"Are you looking for a fight?"

Zhan Wuji showed his anger, a murderous intent emerged.

"Do you think I’m afraid?" Hu Boyong’s robe fluttered, Spiritual Qi resonated around his body.

"Enough." Ji Yue’Er, the leader, couldn’t bear it anymore, pointing at Zhan Wuji, said, "Without my order, you are to remain on standby."

"You!" Others admired and respected Ji Yue’Er, but not Zhan Wuji.

He had been accustomed to arrogance, how could he endure this humiliation.

"You group of useless people, need a team to kill a Spirit Beast, you don’t deserve to be by my side!"

With that, he flung his coat and walked off in a certain direction without looking back.

There, not far away lay a pillar of light, he evidently planned to seize another brocade banner alone.

"That brute!"

Hu Boyong scornfully cursed.

Su Lingfeng looked at Ji Yue’Er, "Senior Sister, what should we do? Should we intervene?"

"Let him go."

Ji Yue’Er didn’t stop him, instead looking at the toad and said, "If he dies, it’s his own fault, we’ll first kill this toad, then seize the brocade banner!"

Before coming to the Secret Realm, Lei Dingtian had instructed that the Spirit Beasts here are quite powerful, equivalent to the Qi Condensation Realm, disciples should not be arrogant enough to face them alone.

Therefore, whether Huashan Sect or Wuji Sect, both act collectively to kill them.

Zhan Wuji is so arrogantly reckless, Ji Yue’Er didn’t want to intervene.

She looked at the giant toad, a battle intent flickered in her eyes, "I’ll deal with it first. You all act accordingly."

The disciples nearby all rolled their eyes, thinking that Senior Sister Ji, aren’t your thoughts the same as Zhan Wuji’s? Are you planning to face the toad alone too?

While everyone was speechless, Ji Yue’Er’s purple silhouette flashed, landing on the giant rock.

"Gu gu gu!"

The toad’s cheeks rapidly puffed up, the sounds emitted were incredibly piercing, causing everyone’s minds to become dizzy.

"Its sound can attack the mind! Quickly stabilize your minds!"

Su Lingfeng’s voice rang out, the disciples were startled, began circulating Spiritual Qi, covering their ears, resisting the sound.

Being close to the toad, Ji Yue’Er’s blood surged turbulently, feeling her strength within quickly waning.

"This sound is peculiar! It can only be resolved quickly!"

Ji Yue’Er understood, taking a big step, bang! A crack appeared in the rock beneath her feet, then she had already landed on the toad’s back.

"Gale Technique!"

Ji Yue’Er waved her hands, two cyclones swirling on the toad’s back.

Clang clang!

Strangely, those seemingly sharp cyclones merely left white shallow marks on the toad’s back.

"Huh..." Ji Yue’Er noticed and wasn’t surprised, her eyes showing a hint of amazement.

Unexpectedly worthy of the Spirit Beast at Qi Condensation Realm, its defense was extraordinarily robust!

Despite being amazed, Ji Yue’Er didn’t feel overwhelmed.

Her eyes filled with battle fervor, she prepared to attack again, suddenly the toad "gu gu" twice, its back poison sacs spraying gray poison mist.

The foul stench reached her nose, Ji Yue’Er’s mouth oozed a trace of fresh blood, rapidly retreating to avoid the mist, while shouting, "Quickly avoid! This mist is highly toxic! Spiritual Qi cannot defend against it!"

Following these words, the nearby disciples were utterly shocked.

What kind of poison is this?

Even Senior Sister Ji can’t withstand it?

It’s well known that Senior Sister Ji is a Spirit Body!

"Run!"

Su Lingfeng realized, shouted loudly.

The disciples, hearing this, quickly retreated alongside Ji Yue’Er and Su Lingfeng.

Once they retreated a hundred meters away, the mist finally ceased to spread, coalesced into an absolute forbidden zone.

Looking at this forbidden zone, the faces of Huashan Sect disciples were all very grim.

They had noticed, the poison in this zone could corrode metal, extinguish Spiritual Qi.

"Senior Sister Ji... what should we do now?"

At this moment, Hu Boyong looked at Ji Yue’Er.

Ji Yue’Er deeply furrowed her brow.

She had ventured in Jianghu before, known many perilous Spirit Beasts, but to encounter one as tricky as this toad, it was her first time.

Rarely, she found herself somewhat at a loss for action.
