Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 271: Chapter 271 Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass

”Are you fucking asking for death?”

Seeing someone provoke him, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon was displeased, halting abruptly like a thrown javelin.

A fierce gleam shot from his eyes as he stared coldly at these unfamiliar cultivators.

In that moment, he exuded a powerful aura indicative of a cultivator at Level Five of the Destiny Realm.

Among the eight individuals opposing him, six were cultivators in the Nirvana Realm. Upon sensing his formidable aura, their faces changed dramatically, and they all retreated.

”Sir, we mean you no harm and have no intention of fighting you. Please don’t be so aggressive,” the old man at the Destiny Realm quickly stepped in front of the others, arms spread wide, shielding them from the overwhelming pressure.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon squinted slightly.

This old man’s cultivation base is at Level Eight of the Destiny Realm, three minor realms higher than the level I’m displaying. Under normal circumstances, many people would think that this old man’s strength would be higher than mine, a ’Great Demon of Destiny Realm Level Five.’

But surprisingly, the old man’s tone changed, and he didn’t continue to provoke him.

”If you don’t want to fight, then shut your mouth,” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon retorted coldly.

I don’t want to cause a big scene here. My cultivation realm is far too high; I have no desire to bully these insignificant Destiny Realm cultivators. My mission is to protect Lei Qinian. Anyway, it will only be a few days before the airship reaches the Heavenly Moon Secret Region. At most, it will be seven days. I just need to endure it. In my mind, completing the Master’s task is my highest priority. As for things like showing off, slapping faces, or bullying others, I couldn’t care less.

”Good, we’ll leave each other alone,” the old cultivator said, taking a deep breath. His face was slightly flushed as he nodded.

Just a moment ago, I felt the chilling premonition of death. That’s why I changed my attitude so quickly. I’m not confident I can defeat this imposing Great Demon at Level Five of the Destiny Realm. After all, some members of the Demon Clan possess astonishing Innate Divine Abilities, far surpassing Human cultivators.

”Hmph. Good that you know your place,” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon snorted coldly. He ignored them and walked past.

Lei Qinian, his palms sweating, finally calmed down and slowly walked towards his bunk.

I had been terrified that this senior would fight them. If they started fighting, the ship would be destroyed. Although the ship is protected by Formations, a battle between Destiny Realm cultivators would severely damage them.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon walked to the ninth bunk and sat down with an imposing air.

I chose this spot to better protect Lei Qinian. I’ll leave the tenth bunk for Lei Qinian, as it’s furthest from the other eight cultivators.

”Thank you for your care along the way, Senior.” Lei Qinian was extremely grateful and bowed deeply again to express his thanks.

From boarding the airship to settling into the room, the red-robed senior had taken care of him. Lei Qinian was immensely grateful.

”Don’t mention it. I only helped you because I find you agreeable,” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon chuckled, then closed his eyes to rest.

Lei Qinian also sat on his bunk and began his Cultivation.

As they were both cultivators, seven days of meditation would pass in a flash.

「Meanwhile, in another direction...」

The Big Black Horse pulled a carriage, seemingly at a slow pace, but in reality, it was much faster than the ferry.

Ye Yun was in no hurry.

As long as I reach the Heavenly Moon Secret Region before it opens, it will be fine.

He had just glanced in a certain direction, his gaze falling upon the ten-person room where the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Ye Yun couldn’t help but smile faintly.

When it comes to carrying out missions, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon’s style is completely different from that of the Big Black Horse and the Big Black Cat. This fellow is adaptable and resilient, cunning, and capable of handling various crises.

Ye Yun’s gaze casually swept over the ferry.

”Hmm? Isn’t that Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass?” Ye Yun murmured to himself.

He had unexpectedly spotted a stalk of Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass in the ten-person room next to Lei Qinian’s. This stalk of Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass was entirely emerald green, resembling a Phoenix about to take flight, and it radiated an astonishing aura. The grade of this Immortal Herb was quite high, reaching the Emperor Level Lower Grade.

What interests me is that my first encounter with Nangong Jade, one hundred thousand years ago, was due to a dispute over a Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass.

「Back then...」

I had hidden my identity and teased Nangong Jade. It was at that moment Nangong Jade had fallen for me. I have plenty of Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass in my storage. After a single glance, Ye Yun lost interest and looked away.

He swallowed a few pills and resumed his Cultivation.

This time, by the time I reach the Heavenly Moon Secret Region, I plan to elevate my cultivation base to the eighth layer of the Divine Monarch Realm.

The room next to Lei Qinian’s was also a ten-person room. Ten people occupied it. They were dressed uniformly, apparently from the same faction. The man in the lead had a pale complexion, as if he had lost a significant amount of blood, and his aura was weaker than an ordinary person’s.

”My Lord, please, consume this Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass. I feel your body is about to give out...” an old man beside him said, holding up a Jade Box, inside which lay a stalk of entirely emerald green Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass.

”There’s no need. I can still endure...” the pale-faced middle-aged man replied, his eyes slightly closed as he gently shook his head.

”My Lord, I understand your intentions. You wish to go to the Heavenly Moon Dynasty and find Master Zeng to refine it into a Nine Turn Spring Back Pill. That way, none of the Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass’s medicinal efficacy will be wasted...” the old man sighed. His cultivation was at Destiny Realm Level Seven, which was quite high. Among everyone in the room, his realm ranked second. The one ranked first was, naturally, this pale-faced Lord, who had reached Destiny Realm Level Nine. However, due to a severe injury, his current strength was greatly diminished, making it difficult for him to engage in combat.

”Put the box away. Those people next door are eyeing us like tigers stalking their prey. We don’t know when they might strike...” the middle-aged man coughed, a flicker of worry deep in his eyes.

I wonder who leaked the information that I possess an Emperor Level Lower Grade Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass. That group, though two fewer in number than ours, has been tailing us for so long yet still hasn’t made a move. What could they be planning? Are they waiting for reinforcements? In just two more days, we’ll reach Heavenly Moon City. Once I disembark there, I’ll be safe. No matter how audacious those people next door are, they wouldn’t dare to act in Dark Moon City. After all, the City Lord of Dark Moon City is my sworn brother.

Hearing the man’s words, the old man put the box away, returning it to his storage ring. Although the Heavenly Spirit Phoenix Grass had just emitted an astonishing aura, it hadn’t leaked out of the room due to the restriction array set up inside.

”Everyone, stay vigilant! That group will likely try to make their move in the next two days...” the old man scanned the room, speaking solemnly.

”Understood!” the other eight replied solemnly.

The pale-faced man glanced towards the adjacent room. Although our group is slightly stronger than our neighbors, I can’t shake an uneasy premonition. That group has relentlessly pursued us all the way onto this ferry. When exactly will they truly strike? Making a move on a Tianxing Commercial Firm vessel isn’t easy; after all, there is a security team of a hundred guards here.

The enormous ferry sped through the sky at high altitude.

「At this moment.」

A ten-man squad stood on the deck at the bow of the ship. Their leader was an old man in white, a cultivator at Destiny Realm Level Eight.

A thousand li ahead of the ferry, dark clouds gathered, fierce gales arose, and streaks of lightning, like restless thunder serpents, slithered out from the churning clouds.
