The two secretly regretted their actions. If they had known earlier, they would not have used Ye Xiao as a shield. Ye Xiao was such a powerful expert, they would not have dared to say anything.
As that person slowly started to tell Ye Xiao about the Late Stage Ancient Realm Origin Beast, Ye Xiao finally understood the beginning and the end.
"It is good that you told me about this Divine Herb. Otherwise, I would have missed this opportunity." Ye Xiao smiled and said.
Seeing Ye Xiao laughing, the two people looked at each other. Both of them heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the satisfied look of Ye Xiao, the possibility of them surviving was extremely high.
Ye Xiao withdrew his smile. He said indifferently, "For the sake of all of you providing this information to me, I can spare your lives."
Before the two of them could show any joy, Ye Xiao said again, "Although the death penalty is exempt, you still won't be able to escape punishment. Hand over all the Origin Crystals you obtained in the Low Grade Sea Region to me and you two can go."
Both of them had bitter expressions on their faces. They indeed had quite a number of Origin Crystals in their hands. Some of them were obtained from hunting and some were obtained from killing a few weaker people.
The two of them sighed. There was not much conflict in their thoughts. Compared to the Origin Crystal, their life was naturally the most important. As long as a person is still alive, that person can earn many other cultivation resources. But if a person died, what can they do with the Origin Crystals even if that person has countless Origin Crystals.
Leaving behind the Origin Crystals, the two of them left dejectedly.
Ye Xiao flicked his sleeve and kept all the Origin Crystals in his spatial ring.
"Not a bad harvest." Ye Xiao was satisfied when received more than two hundred Origin Crystals from the two men. Although they were all low grade ones, it could not be denied that they were still of much use to him.
.....
Somewhere in the border between Low Grade Sea Region and the Blood Sea, on a small island, more than ten people stood behind a middle-aged man with a cold expression, quietly looking at the Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass in the valley.
This middle-aged man with a cold face was from the Soaring Star Sect. This middle-aged man's name was Lei Tianjiang.
"Elder Lei, Xiao Ju has not returned for a long time, could it be...." A Soaring Star Sect disciple walked over, cupped his fists, and said uneasily.
Lei Tianjiang frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Ju won't take so long to kill mere Middle and Late Stage Immortal Emperor Realm cultivators. Could it be that something unexpected happened along the way?"
"Elder Lei, if something unexpected happens, wouldn't our operation be..." The disciple's face was pale.
Lei Tian's Divine Sense enveloped the entire island, then he said, "Perhaps an accident happened, but our operation shouldn't have been exposed. I didn't notice anything unusual."
Hearing this, the Soaring Sky Sect's disciples were relieved.
If Elder Lei Tianjiang's divine sense didn't discover anything, then it meant that there was indeed no one else in the vicinity besides them. Unless there was an existence above the Dao Body Stage hiding in the shadows, none could hide from Elder Lei Tianjiang's search.
"The Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass will mature in a few days. In a few days, I will go and investigate. If my sect's disciple is really harmed by someone, I will make that person pay the price. How can our Soaring Star Sect disciples be easily bullied? However, it is also possible that this brat obtained some kind of opportunity."
Lei Tianjiang's eyes lit up. If Xiao Ju had really gotten some kind of opportunity, he hoped that the kid would know what to do.
In Lei Tianjiang's opinion, the possibility of Xiao Su getting a fortuitous encounter was higher than the possibility of getting killed.
The Soaring Star Sect was the absolute overlord of the Low Grade Sea Region and no one dared to offend them.
"Alright, you can leave now. Just wait patiently. Don't accidentally provoke that Origin Beast." Lei Tianjiang waved his hand. The Soaring Star Sect's disciples could only withdraw.
.....
Lei Tianjiang retracted his Divine Sense. He would only release the search every so often for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
When Lei Tianjiang withdrew his divine sense, a figure suddenly appeared where Lei Tianjiang thought there was nothing.
It was Ye Xiao, who had rushed over, arriving at the location defined by the two people.
Ye Xiao was only at the Immortal Emperor Realm and he did not bother to hide his trace, so he naturally could not avoid Lei Tianjiang's detection.
However, Lei Tianjiang had already withdrawn his Divine Sense so he failed to detect Ye Xiao.
"Looking at the situation of this Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass, it will mature in three days and will become ten thousand years Divine Herb. When it'll mature, those Soaring Star Sect's disciples and Origin Beasts who'll be attracted by it will definitely fight to obtain this herb. At that time, I only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. When the fun will reach the climax, I'll intervene and take away this Divine Herb." Ye Xiao faintly smiled, quietly waiting for the moment the Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass grew to ten thousand years old and mature.
.....
Three days later.
The Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass suddenly reached ten thousand years old and matured. A surging flame swept out like a whirlwind and rushed into the sky, condensing into a cloud-like existence in the sky.
It was the Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass's Essence Fire.
On the ground, a huge Origin Beast roared as it ran on the ground, shaking the earth heavily.
This was a giant Origin Beast with four limbs on the ground and was shaped like a hedgehog. However, this Origin Beast had sharp mountain rocks on its back. The top of the sharp mountain rocks continuously spewed out flames.
In an instant, this hedgehog-like giant Origin Beast suddenly jumped into the sky and swallowed the Mysterious Divine Scarlet Flame Grass's Essence Fire in the sky.
The next moment, the roar of the beast shook the heaven and earth. The beast's body also changed drastically in a short period of time. It became at least three times bigger.
The Origin Beast's body was already huge to begin with, but now it was at least three times bigger. It was simply like a small mountain.
A fierce and scorching aura covered the entire world. The powerful energy caused the disciples of the Soaring Star Sect to look horrified. Their legs could not help but tremble and they nearly fell to their knees.
The Origin Beast's aura grew larger and larger, becoming more and more shocking. It was like a heaven-toppling tsunami as it constantly bombarded the surroundings.
At this moment, the sky seemed to have turned red.
In just a few breaths of time, the Origin Beast's aura had already far surpassed the Late Stage Ancient Immortal Realm and had finally broken through to the Early Dao Body of the Dao Manifestation Realm.
"Roar!"
The Origin Beast roared furiously. Its voice rumbled and flames raged like a hurricane.
Lei Tianjiang laughed heartily and said, "We have been waiting for this for a long time. Now is the moment."
Huala!
The sky seemed to turn gloomy at this moment. Lei Tianjiang held the Sword slashed toward the Dao Body Stage Origin Beast.
The Dao Body Stage Origin Beast had just advanced and had yet to stabilize. It was extremely flustered.
"Boom!"
Lightning flickered on the sword as it stabbed into the stomach of the Dao Body Stage Origin Beast in an instant, piercing out from its back.
The sparks of lightning carried a destructive power as it began to destroy the body of the Dao Body Stage Origin Beast.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The Dao Body Stage Origin Beast let out a painful roar. It jumped up and spat out raging flames.
Raging flames suddenly came from the sky, covering the sky and descending the earth. It was the counterattack of the Dao Body Stage Origin Beast.
However, Lei Tianjiang was disdainful. He said, "A mere newly advanced Dao Body Stage Origin Beast wants to fight against me?"
Lei Tianjiang's had already stepped into the Middle Dao Body Stage of the Dao Manifestation Realm. An Early Dao Body Stage Origin Beast, that had already stabilized its cultivation base, might be able to bring some trouble to Lei Tianjiang.
However, a newly advanced Dao Body Stage Origin Beast that had yet to stabilize its cultivation after advancing would only have a third or half of its strength. How could it be a match for General Lei Tianjiang?
General Lei Tian's Divine Origin surged out and transformed into a lightning sword. He suddenly slashed out.
The flames that blotted out the sky and covered the earth were actually split in half by the sword, bombarding the left and right sides of General Lei Tian, burning the valley.
