Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 616: 616 found

The Fourth-stage Sword-toothed Leopard quickly charged at them, these annoying two-legged creatures.

The three of them directly surrounded the Sword-toothed Leopard,

while Li Wenhui and her companions hacked away at the demon beasts trying to get through.

Over several days of killing demon beasts, they had gauged the opponent’s strength. From the outset, they exerted their full power without holding back.

Moreover, they had formed a pretty seamless coordination. After a quarter of an hour, Tan Shaoting severely injured the Sword-toothed Leopard.

Seizing the opportunity, all three attacked at once, killing the leading Fourth-stage Sword-toothed Leopard.

This threw the demon beasts into greater chaos. Now some were even fleeing. But even if they ran, the Human Cultivators wouldn’t give chase. They were too exhausted, barely holding on.

Another hour passed, and by then the battlefield was devoid of demon beasts. Many had escaped.

Tan Shaoting and his group collected their spoils of war, bit by bit approaching the other Human Cultivators.

Out of the three thousand who entered, only two hundred and eighty remained here, with less than a hundred still surviving. The brutality of this battle was evident.

”Senior Brother, it’s Senior Sister. She’s injured; I’ll go check on her,” Cheng Yuanfang said before running off.

They remained cautious, fearing an attack from any not yet thoroughly dead demon beasts.

Demon beasts not killed by them were left untouched. This was a matter of principle.

Xing Chongshan was also quite worried. He had liked this woman for over a decade. Even though she didn’t fancy him, nor pay him any attention, he absolutely couldn’t bear seeing her hurt.

Finally, when the five of them arrived, they saw Cheng Yuanfang bandaging the wounds of a beautiful female Cultivator.

To be honest, they had too many wounds.

”Senior Sister, how are you?” Jiang Xueyan and Li Wenhui hurriedly came over.

The Senior Sister, Luo Yinghui, nodded, her face drained of color.

”Thank you.”

”Senior Sister, what are you saying? You should hurry and recover. I have here a Recovery Pill,” Jiang Xueyan said, handing over a small porcelain bottle.

”Thank you, Junior Sister. I really don’t have any more elixirs,” she replied.

Xing Chongshan wanted to come closer. He knew that because of him, the Senior Sister wasn’t with the three Junior Sisters; otherwise, she might not have been transported here.

Qin Weichuan was there watching too. In truth, he also had feelings for this Shushan Sect Senior Sister. It’s not just her father being the Sect Leader; she herself had the Single Fire Spirit Root.

Though still young, she was undeniably the Shushan Sect’s Senior Sister. At just twenty-four, she had reached Qi Cultivation Great Perfection.

In the Cultivation World, strength is paramount. Most of the male cultivators in the Sect admired the Senior Sister.

Luo Yinghui noticed the sword-wielding male Cultivator, age twenty-four, at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, exuding a fierce aura.

She had noticed his swordsmanship earlier, which was truly remarkable.

Seeing there was nothing more for him to do, Tan Shaoting, although many demon beasts had fled, believed they could still fight if the wounded Fourth-stage Sword-toothed Leopard returned.

”Mr. Qin, Mr. Xing, I’m off to fetch the children,” he said, turning to leave.

Following Tan Shaoting’s departure, Wang Wenhui proactively explained to Luo Yinghui, ”Senior Sister, we encountered this Loose Cultivator in the secret realm. He’s exceptionally formidable,

and provided immense help to the five of us. He has three children; although he said they possess three spiritual roots, they’re already Qi Refining First Layer cultivators at the age of three.

Senior Brother Xing intends for them to join our Shushan Sect. Along our journey, we’ve been assured of his character.”

Luo Yinghui nodded, ”I noticed earlier; he seems like a good person.”

Qin Weichuan and Xing Chongshan went to find their fellow sect members, knowing the odds were against them surviving. Yet, being fellow sect members, they would make an effort to find them.

However, it was indeed very challenging. Given that the ground was strewn with corpses.

Cheng Yuanfang supported Luo Yinghui as they sought a spot away from here to rest. They were right behind Tan Shaoting.

Jiang Xueyan and Wang Wenhui also helped look for fellow sect members, as well as collecting the trophies of the Senior Sister.

”Yuanfang, what do you think of Tan Shaoting?”

”Pretty good. Although, during our fight with the demon beasts, he admittedly cared for his three children. But without him, we five couldn’t have held out.”

”That capable?”

”Yes, he was initially at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, stable during demon beast battles, and lasted the longest. He also took care of the three of us during combat, allowing the two Senior Brothers time to rest and recover.

Moreover, during loot distribution, he declined the twenty percent share we offered him. And, while picking spirit plants along the way, he wasn’t like other Loose Cultivators.

I understand the Senior Brothers’ and Senior Sisters’ intention is to bring Mr. Tan directly to meet the elder. I think this is a great idea.

Overall, I have a positive impression of his character. Joining Shushan suits him; his swordsmanship is on par with the Senior Sister.”

Luo Yinghui knew Cheng Yuanfang was a very perceptive cultivator, and her instincts were usually right. Hence, she felt more at ease about Tan Shaoting.

She feared someone wanting to infiltrate the Shushan Sect.

When the two of them reached the open space, they happened to see Tan Shaoting leading his three children towards them from a distance.

”Senior Sister, those are Mr. Tan’s three children. They’re especially lovely, well-behaved, and sensible without any fussiness.”

Luo Yinghui directed her gaze towards the approaching father and his three children, observing their distinct aura even from afar.

Tan Shaoting entered the array, releasing the three children, informing them the demon beasts had fled.

”Do you want to go over there and see?”

All three nodded, as their Divine Sense couldn’t reach very far. Hence from the mountaintop, they had seen nothing until they reached the foothill and entered the space.

Tan Shaoting and his children noticed the two female cultivators watching them.

With unwavering focus, Tan Shaoting led his children past Luo Yinghui and Cheng Yuanfang.

The children, seeing the corpses of the demon beasts ahead, felt somewhat anxious. The piled corpses reached a meter thick, revealing the battle’s severity.

”Three thousand cultivators entered. All together now, there aren’t even a hundred left.”

”Daddy, can we still get out of here?”

”We must get out.”

Initially hoping for new discoveries in the secret realm, they indeed gained some, acquiring that mirror and seeing his wife. Although the exit was yet to be found, his thinking remained correct.

There will be secret realms to explore in the future. Tan Shaoting always believed they could return and would certainly find his wife.
