Chapter 137 - This Monster Is Related to the Immortal Beasts From Penglai

“Elder Ye, that’s not what we meant. How can we let you be in danger? Since you’ve already decided to keep this stone, then we’ll help you too.”

“We’re all from the same sect, we’ll live together, and we’ll die together!”

Because of Ye Xuan, the Tai Qing Sect had gotten to this stage. It could be said that Ye Xuan’s position was unique and extraordinary in everyone’s hearts, and he was someone almost everyone relied on.

If he wanted to go east, they would not go west. Even if they had to climb a mountain of daggers or dive into a sea of fire, they would not even blink their eyes.

“While that monster hasn’t caught up yet, Elder Ye should take out the stone for us to study it. There’s strength in numbers. Maybe we can find some secrets.”

Ye Xuan felt that his words made sense. He took out the Penglai Immortal Stone and seemed to have found something. He said, “Eh?”

There was a small white dot on the black stone, and it was very abrupt. Ye Xuan asked curiously, “It clearly didn’t exist before. When did it appear?”

He touched it, and everyone exclaimed, “That white dot can move!”

The next second, a familiar white gas came out of the stone’s surface and quickly condensed into shape. Even if it turned into ashes, the people of the Tai Qing Sect could recognize that it was the monster that had fought with it before.

“What’s going on? Why is there this d*mn thing inside the stone?”

“I almost thought it was the monsters behind us. When did it get in?”

Looking at the monster in front of them, everyone was bewildered. Fortunately, there was only one of them, so they could deal with it.

Ye Xuan thought that he probably didn’t pay attention to it during the chaotic battle before, so he didn’t know how this monster found a loophole and hid in the Penglai Immortal Stone.

It was a good thing that they had discovered it early. If this monster had suddenly attacked, it would definitely have caught him off guard.

The monster was trapped by the people of the Tai Qing Sect. The cage formed by spiritual power firmly imprisoned it, and it could only let out an unwilling roar inside.

Previously, there were too many of them and they didn’t have time to observe the monster. Now that such a good opportunity was in front of them, the people of the Tai Qing Sect went up and studied them for a long time, but they couldn’t figure out the monster’s origin.

“I’ve never seen such a strange creature in my life. It’s not even recorded in ancient books.”

The creature seemed to be made of a mass of white gas. It had no facial features or limbs and looked very strange. Seeing Ye Xuan walking over with the Penglai Immortal Stone, its roar became sharper and sharper, so piercing that people’s eardrums hurt.

“Why is the monster so insistent on this stone?”

Ye Xuan didn’t hide anything. He answered, “This stone is an immortal stone from Penglai. I suspect that this secret realm and these creatures are also related to Penglai Immortal Island.”

When everyone heard this news, they instantly gasped. Someone commented, “Hiss, it’s actually related to Penglai Immortal Island!”

“I’ve always thought that the Penglai Immortal Island was a legend. It seems that it’s true?”

“I heard that there used to be immortals living on Penglai Immortal Island, as well as immortal elixirs. However, there was a strange change a thousand years ago, and the entire Island sank. The immortals also disappeared without a trace. Since then, all these things have become legends.”

The crowd discussed animatedly as they looked at the stone in Ye Xuan’s hand, and their gazes suddenly changed.

No wonder Ye Xuan didn’t throw the stone away even when he was chased by these powerful monsters. Whether it was about immortal ascension or immortality medicine, these were both shocking existences. If it were them, they wouldn’t be willing to give up such an opportunity.

“Elder Ye, what should we do now?”

Just as everyone was discussing, the monster in the cage had already turned as dark as ink, and its body was filled with an indescribable evil aura.

The cold wind blew in their faces as if countless vengeful spirits were screaming, making everyone shiver.

They still couldn’t see the monster’s facial features clearly, but they felt as if they were being stared at by a pair of ferocious eyes filled with hatred. It was simply terrifying.

“If this continues, I’m afraid it’ll attract other monsters.”

The black monsters almost broke out of the cage several times, and everyone felt unprecedented pressure. After the color changed, the monsters became even more difficult to deal with.

All of these were secondary. The cold and evil feeling was the most uncomfortable.

They did not dare to imagine that if all the monsters from before had turned black, they would not have been able to resist at all.

“If only there was something that could detect these monsters.”

The speaker may have said it casually, but the listener took it seriously.

Ye Xuan suddenly had an idea. Since the system could identify treasures and magic weapons, perhaps the same would apply to these monsters…?

The only difference was that those things were non-living things, while these monsters were alive.

[The system has detected the creature in front of it.]

[Ding!]

[Penglai Immortal Beast (dead) detected. Negative status detected. The host can use prodigal points to clear it.]

As expected, this was possible!

Hearing the notification in his mind, Ye Xuan’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

These things were actually Penglai Immortal Beasts?

He sized it up for a long time. The pitch-black monster in front of him exuded a cold and gloomy aura. It seemed like it had nothing to do with the word ‘Immortal Beast’.

However, what was this ‘negative state’?

Ye Xuan chose to clear it without hesitation.

The people of the Tai Qing Sect were waiting for him, but the monster in the cage suddenly burst out an unprecedented scream.

Although it had no facial features, it could be heard from the sound that the monster was in extreme pain.

The black Qi that was wrapped around its body also gradually dissipated in the air.

“What happened?”

Everyone was bewildered. They didn’t know what was going on, but they were alarmed. They thought that this monster was going to play some tricks again.

Only Ye Xuan knew that the black Qi wasn’t carried by the monster itself, but it was a form of the negative state.
