Chapter 249: Chapter 248 Fairy, you should talk less about ancient mysteries. I’m worried I don’t have enough lives_1

“Directional Teleportation Talismans can be used like this?!” The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were stunned upon seeing the Silver Ring King Worm being forcefully teleported away.

Especially the despair in the Silver Ring King Worm’s eyes; it left a deep impression.

One could easily imagine the fate of this great demon at the Nascent Soul Stage.

A rule had been set in the Demon Suppressing Pass: those below the Unification Stage who approached it would die. This might be a great demon at the Nascent Soul Stage, but against the monstrous Demon Suppressing Pass, there was only one path – death.

“Ah? Isn’t this the most obvious use?” Lu Yang was surprised. He had thought that only a demon beast brain would fail to think of this. How could the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain, who were also humans, not think of it?

Look at Meng Jingzhou who thought of it immediately.

“Are there so many Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stage demon beasts in this forest?” Lu Yang thought about what had been happening these past few days. Along with those that were intentionally seeking them out, many other beasts they randomly stumbled upon were all at the Golden Core Stage.

This evening was even crazier; even a demon beast at the Nascent Soul Stage showed up.

Luckily Meng Jingzhou had a Directional Teleportation Talisman, which allowed him to teleport the Silver Ring King Worm to Demon Suppressing Pass; otherwise Lu Yang would have had to use the Eldest Sister’s Form Boxing.

The old man known as the eagle-beaked Big Brother shook his head and said, “Impossible. Regardless of whether they are from the human or demon race, most of those who roam in this forest are at the Foundation Establishment Stage. If it were really like it is now, with several Golden Core Stage demon beasts ambushing at every encounter, no one would dare to come.”

Lu Yang thought about it and realized it made sense. The demon beasts coming across their party were the unlucky ones. If it were any other Foundation Establishment Stage group, they would’ve been dead long ago.

“It must be due to the many demon beasts you two young heroes have killed, attracting their attention.” Big Brother speculated.

He sighed inwardly. The five of them, who were in the late Foundation Establishment Stage, found it difficult to fight even their own Level demon beasts. Compared to these two young heroes who took killing early and mid-stage Golden Core beasts as casually as chopping vegetables and melons, the has was too wide.

What a difference!

“I suggest we return to the city when the gates open at dawn tomorrow, and take a good rest, change our clothes, and clean off the smells.”

Lu Yang nodded – Big Brother’s proposal was reasonable. Over the past few days, all seven of them had their nerves constantly on edge. If they weren’t fighting, it was the mental toll of constantly being in combat. The load on their minds was too much.

Although his spiritual power significantly exceeded his peers and shouldn’t be depleted so quickly – Meng Jingzhou and the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were feeling tired, but he wasn’t – who else had a Fairy Eternity mischief constantly in their spiritual space? Lu Yang had to spare some of his mental power to deal with Fairy Eternity and listen to her recount the bizarre anecdotes of the ancient times.

The strange stories of the ancients included but were not limited to – the jealousy of the dragon and Phoenix geniuses.

The Qilin Immortal fled to a foreign land because of a fire in the harem, earning him the nickname Fire Qilin.

Yingtian Immortal called for Immortals to reduce their interventions to improve their mystique.

Time Immortal ate Fairy Eternity’s food and felt like years had passed, realizing relativity. He strongly supported the idea of Fairy Eternity cooking for the others too.

Immortal Jiuchong published a scholarly paper proving himself to be the first Immortal and led archaeological discoveries to prove his legitimacy.

Truth be told, these ancient anecdotes about Immortals were extremely valuable and would have fetched a fortune at auctions.

If those old scholars who studied ancient history heard about them, they might get so excited they would lose sleep. The information included in these stories was vast enough to overthrow the present understanding of the ancient period.

However, Lu Yang was worried that he might wake up one day to find the Four Immortals of the Ancients standing by his side, looking down at him and ominously laughing, “You know too much. Time to die.”

He didn’t have the Eternity Dao Fruit.

On the upside, by the time Eldest Sister arrived, she might still be able to retrieve his remains.

Lu Yang shared his concerns with Fairy Eternity. She, as usual, heartlessly responded, “Oh, Yingtian Immortal and the others are all good people; they are easy to talk to and wouldn’t do anything to you. Look at me, I know so many things and I’m still fine.”

Lu Yang quietly looked at Fairy Eternity, who was in her soul form. He wanted to remind the old lady that she had been dead for over three hundred thousand years and had just been revived two months ago.

After several days of fighting, both Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou gained significant battle experience, and they became more skilled in lethal moves.

Their cultivation levels were steadily improving, solidifying their late stage of Foundation Establishment and slowly advancing to the Golden Core Stage.

“Why does it feel like your battle experience is a bit more extensive than mine?” Meng Jingzhou asked in surprise, believing that it wasn’t an illusion.

Lu Yang responded emotionlessly, “You’d also improve your combat experiences if our senior brothers and sisters beat you up from night to morning.”

Lu Yang recalled his agony while this chap was enjoying the show from below the stage.

Meng Jingzhou contemplated, “Does that movement really have such effect?”

In his life, he had never lagged behind others and didn’t want to lose to Lu Yang in terms of combat experience.

The night of rest was not peaceful, they faced a sneak attack from a Golden Core Stage demon beast, which Meng Jingzhou killed in a flurry of punches.

It was a rabbit the size of a domestic pig, with two large buck teeth three or four inches long, and ruby-red eyes that looked like gemstones.

“Do we have so much hostility? They won’t even let us rest in the middle of the night!” Meng Jingzhou angrily kicked the rabbit essence after it had distracted him during the fight and managed to nibble on his hair.

Luckily, he had already refined his body down to his hair, so he managed to endure the attack.

The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were also puzzled, after all, they had limited knowledge and hadn’t seen anyone killing demon beasts so ruthlessly. “That’s not right, normally this outer forest region shouldn’t have so many Golden Core Stage demon beasts. It doesn’t make sense for them to be here.”

“Enough, let’s discuss this back home.” Lu Yang summoned everyone for the return journey, back to Demon Suppressing Pass for rest.

When everyone arrived back at Demon Suppressing Pass, they heard people discussing at the city gate.

“Have you heard? A great demon at the Nascent Soul Stage sneak attacked Demon Suppressing Pass last night but was killed by a slap from a Divinity Transformation Stage expert on night duty.”

“Is that real or fake? Was the demon beast drunk? How dare a Nascent Soul creature dare to sneak attack?” a companion inquired in disbelief.

Demon Suppressing Pass, serving as one of the six guard cities set up at the border of the Demon Territory, couldn’t be breached without several Unification Stage experts making a move.

However, there were precedents, where a few great demons, drunk, rushed to Demon Suppressing Pass to test their courage. The lucky ones were driven away by Demon Suppressing Pass, while the unlucky ones ended up in a pot the next day, feasted on by the entire city.

“Of course, it’s true. Didn’t you notice there are more guards on duty today than yesterday? The higher-ups suspect that the Demon Race is preparing for a major move, so they sent out a sacrificial pawn to test our defense capabilities!”

“Is another battle coming?”

“Not likely, it’s probably just a probe.”

“There’s also an unreliable rumor.”

“What is it?”

“The story goes that the demon beast was transported here using a Directional Teleportation Talisman.”

“Can’t be, how could a Directional Teleportation Talisman be used like that?”

“That’s why I said the rumor was unreliable.”

“So, can we get a good meal today?” The Demon Suppressing Pass often distributed the meat of slain demon beasts at the city gate to everyone.

“I doubt it.”

“Why?”

“The creature that died was an earthworm essence, how are you going to eat that?”

Inside the spiritual space, Fairy Eternity asked in surprise, “Huh, don’t you guys eat earthworms here?”

“…Fairy, would you like to rethink what you just said?”
