Chapter 85: Success

Chapter 85: Success

Representatives from several major forces gathered and decided to jointly charge into Mountain Valley. As for the ownership of the Resplendent Visage Fruit, it was left unspoken among them.

The experts discussed matters, and Wang Hong, at the eighth level of cultivation, naturally did not qualify to participate.

Two female cultivators occasionally spoke to him, trying to gather information about him. Upon learning that Wang Hong was just an ordinary loose cultivator with no significant background, the two women lost interest in him.

"Ah! I wonder if there's a chance to snatch the Resplendent Visage Fruit this time. Without the Resplendent Visage Elixir, I'll turn into an old lady in a few years," a woman with an oval face muttered with a worried expression, her eyes glancing at the two male cultivators present.

"I heard that Tianshu Peak Senior Brother Zhu gave a Resplendent Visage Fruit to Yuheng Peak Senior Sister Shui, and then they became Dao companions," the girl with twin ponytails chimed in.

"If Senior Brother Zhu can give such a generous gift, it proves he is sincere. Of course, it's worth entrusting a lifetime to him!"

While the two women chatted, they occasionally cast glances at the two male cultivators, appearing pitiful.

Wang Hong immediately reassured them, "Two junior sisters, rest assured. If I get the Resplendent Visage Fruit, I will prioritize selling it to you at a price discounted from the market rate."

The two girls couldn't hide their disappointment, displaying a truly pitiable look.

"Junior sisters, don't worry. It's just a Resplendent Visage Fruit. I'll pick one for you later," a senior brother who had just returned from discussions nonchalantly stated, clearly outperforming Wang Hong's previous performance.

Another senior brother at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation also pledged to give the Resplendent Visage Fruit to the two junior sisters.

This made the two women cheer, surrounding the two men with a particularly intimate atmosphere.

With this, the two senior brothers' favor towards Wang Hong increased significantly, instructing him to follow them when charging into Mountain Valley.

After a stick of incense, everyone rushed towards Mountain Valley. Meanwhile, a wolf howl echoed from the valley, and a pack of Demon Wolves charged out.

The two sides quickly clashed, with flashes of magical weapons from the cultivators and wooden spikes spewing from the mouths of the Demon Wolves. In the first round, over a dozen Demon Wolves were killed or injured, while only a few cultivators were harmed. Wang Hong also used his Flying Sword to kill a Demon Wolf.

As they approached, the battle intensified. Demon Wolves bit anyone they saw, and blood splattered across the battlefield.

The two senior brothers from Qingxu Sect were indeed extraordinary. They led the way, often sealing the throats of Demon Wolves with a single sword strike.

Wang Hong followed behind, effortlessly dealing with the occasional stray Demon Wolf.New novel chapters are published on

The two female cultivators following behind had an even easier time. They still had the energy to watch the battles of other cultivators. When someone was bitten by Demon Wolves, they would exclaim in shock.

Seeing the defeated Demon Wolves retreat, everyone immediately accelerated towards the valley, frightening the fleeing Demon Wolves.

The Devilish Vine seed rapidly sprouted, entwining around the cultivator. Thorns on the vines pierced his flesh, absorbing his Spiritual Energy and essence blood. In a moment, all the Spiritual Energy and essence blood would be drained, turning him into a lifeless corpse.

Having killed two people, Wang Hong created an opening in the encirclement. He shouted to the senior brother, "Follow me!"

Afterwards, he led the way, the two female disciples carrying Tian closely behind, and the senior brother guarding the rear.

This coordinated effort was part of their training in the sect.

Wang Hong, with his spear, walked ahead, while the two cultivators wielded their Flying Swords to block the front.

In a blink of an eye, Wang Hong appeared in front of the two cultivators.

Most cultivators lacked close combat skills. Wang Hong's heavy Long Spear, combined with his immense strength, easily swept one cultivator into two.

The other cultivator retreated hastily, and Wang Hong didn't pursue. Instead, he picked up the Storage Bag and waited for his fellow disciples to catch up.

The fellow disciples were astonished, unable to close their mouths. They hadn't expected their seemingly ordinary senior disciple to be so powerful and secretly felt fortunate not to have offended him earlier.

Wang Hong continued leading the way. Anyone who dared to obstruct was swiftly approached with Shifting Positions and then mercilessly killed with thunderous methods.

He fully leveraged the advantage of combining Body Refining and Shifting Positions. Within four yards of him, it was almost a guaranteed kill. After a few rounds, no one dared to obstruct anymore.

After all, everyone's goal was to seize the Resplendent Visage Fruit, not to fight desperately. If someone went too hard, there were softer targets to focus on.

They swiftly covered more than ten miles before finding a mountain cave to rest.

Tian, the senior brother, was severely injured, with a large wound on his abdomen and several broken ribs. He was unconscious and would likely have died if he were a mortal.

Wang Hong fed him a healing elixir, ensuring there was no immediate danger to his life.

After tending to Tian's wounds, the senior brother took out five Resplendent Visage Fruits. Wang Hong looked at them and thought, "No wonder so many people attacked him. He managed to pick five by himself, making it quite enviable."

"I originally planned to pick five Resplendent Visage Fruitsone for each of us five. Unexpectedly, it put everyone in danger, and we almost lost our lives. If it weren't for Junior Brother Wang's bravery, our losses would likely have been much greater," the senior brother explained somewhat awkwardly.

Indeed, if Wang Hong hadn't saved them at a critical moment, the consequences could have been dire.

As for whether the senior brother truly intended to give each person one initially, that remained unknown.
