Chapter 868: Chapter 350: [Cave Mansion: Level 4]

"The beating on Mozhu Island..."

Upon hearing this, the expression on Manor Master Mei’s previously relaxed face froze, and he even forgot the wine cup he was holding in his hand.

Now his mind was filled with nothing but this sentence.

"Mozhu Island... a beating."

What kind of place is Mozhu Island?

It is an island between the Cangluo Continent and the Desolate Ancient Continent.

How did Mozhu Island get its name?

Manor Master Mei himself planted each bamboo with his own efforts, so he personally named the island Mozhu Island.

But what about the beating?

Manor Master Mei vividly remembered that it was a bright and sunny morning, and he had manifested his true form, transforming into a Tianluo Purple Thunder Eagle, soaring over the endless clouds and sea.

But all this peace shattered like a dream with the appearance of that woman.

At that time, Manor Master Mei saw an Escape Light flying from south to north, looking like a Core Formation Cultivator attempting to cross the continent.

For Manor Master Mei, who hadn’t seen a living person in decades, it was indeed a novelty, so he decided to keep this person around for a while as a pastime.

Thus, Manor Master Mei personally went to intercept and invite this person to Mozhu Island... Well, the invitation process wasn’t all that smooth.

So Manor Master Mei used a teeny bit of coercion.

Up until this point, everything was fine, and Manor Master Mei didn’t feel anything was amiss. But when the black-robed, wide-sleeved woman set foot on Mozhu Island, everything changed.

Everything changed.

At first glance, she appeared to be at the mid-stage Core Formation, and the moment she reached the highest point of Mozhu Island, her aura had already risen to Nascent Soul, coincidentally matching his own mid-stage Nascent Soul.

When she approached him, Manor Master Mei realized he couldn’t discern her cultivation level.

All he felt was... immense pressure, immense.

What happened next, Manor Master Mei dared not recall.

He only knew that if he hadn’t pleaded so desperately, it wouldn’t have ended with just a broken wing...

At this thought, Manor Master Mei shivered violently, releasing an extraordinarily strong demonic aura that enveloped the entire West Border City.

Even Ji Yuan was forced back several dozen feet, before finally stopping in the middle of the street.

As he hurriedly looked up, he saw a massive pillar of purple Mana light shooting into the sky, interspersed with streaks of purple lightning.

Moreover, an even more intense demonic aura spread forth.

’Has Manor Master Mei gone mad?!’

Ji Yuan muttered inwardly, then dared not look any longer, transforming into an Escape Light and departing.

Immediately, he heard Manor Master Mei’s voice from behind.

"Don’t... don’t kill me, senior, I beg you, I am willing to serve you as a beast of burden, willing to become your mount, just don’t kill me, I truly beg you..."

At first, it was pleading, but soon the tone changed. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Ha, I, Manor Master Mei, was born to roam the heavens and earth, how could I possibly submit and live under others for long?"

"Being someone’s mount was tolerable before, but to be a mount again now, if you have the ability... then kill me!"

The demonic aura was growing increasingly severe.

Finally, a light screen appeared above the West Border City, and the City Defense Array... was activated!

Ji Yuan knew that the City Defense Array of West Border City, called the "Four Symbols White Tiger Formation," was one of the exceedingly formidable Tier Four Arrays, especially with the White Tiger it conjured, capable of exerting mid-Tier Four strength.

Just like... now.

A gigantic white tiger’s figure gradually took shape in the sky, and its roars echoed through the entire city, causing some cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage to hurriedly seek shelter.

Just when Ji Yuan thought that was it, a hoarse voice came from the northern part of West Border City.

"Mr. Mei, as the Master of the Sea Ruins, to quietly visit and cause such a commotion, truly shows you think little of our Human Race."

As soon as these words were spoken, Manor Master Mei, who had been in a frenzy, immediately regained his clarity.

The overwhelming demonic aura vanished in an instant, followed by a terrifying pressure sweeping the surroundings. Even though Ji Yuan thought he had escaped a great distance, he was still targeted by Manor Master Mei.

But this time, his attitude was much better.

"Ji Yuan, from now on, let’s mind our own business!"

After the words were said.

The Divine Sense departed Ji Yuan’s body, even the two pieces of Void Nether Stone in his Storage Bag had their Mana dissipated... This bastard, truly shameless, tampered with those items.

Ji Yuan had suspected this, and in fact, had meticulously checked before.

But had found nothing.

You have to admit, it’s truly the method of a peak Late-stage Nascent Soul expert.

After Manor Master Mei finished saying this, his figure appeared out of thin air in mid-air, with his hands behind his back, looking towards the north.

"Just an Early-stage Nascent Soul, daring to act presumptuously?"

Manor Master Mei sneered, stomping his right foot forward, and in an instant, massive lightning descended from the sky, starting from him, striking straight towards the north.

Lightning sparked across the sky, energy running rampant.

The chaotic energy streams sent shivers down Ji Yuan’s spine.

When the divine lightning struck the north, the Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator that hadn’t shown up went silent.

Definitely didn’t die, but didn’t dare to show up again.

Early-stage Nascent Soul against Late-stage Nascent Soul, it’s a losing battle.

Reappearing would only mean a dead end.
