At this moment, the third brother licked his lips and said, "Boss, let’s do it. I’m willing to take the lead."

The middle-aged man looked at the remaining two, "Seventh brother, ninth brother, what about you?"

The seventh brother hesitated for a moment, "I think we can go for it."

The ninth brother, who had been silent before, was a younger, slightly timid-looking man.

Because everyone else was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and he was only at the mid-stage, with less experience, he had been quietly observing.

Upon hearing the boss speak, he immediately said, "Everything is at the command of my brothers."

The boss nodded with satisfaction and was about to order the group surrounded when suddenly the third brother said, "Wait, what are they trying to do?"

The boss was startled and quickly turned to look.

...

Chu Xuan had long noticed Jiang Yiyi’s subtle movements, and now he simply opened his eyes and said with a slight smile:

"Today, the favor of the fairy saving my life, I will remember deeply and repay it in the future."

Jiang Yiyi was taken aback when she heard this, then blushed a little and said, "What are you talking about? I’m your ancestor, how can you speak to me in such a tone?"

Even though she said this, it was clear she was quite happy because someone like her couldn’t hide her emotions.

"By the way, master ancestor, your lightning, is it really the righteous method of the immortals?"

"Of course," Jiang Yiyi stood proudly with her hands on her hips, "This is the heavenly punishment thunder, specifically targeting all worldly evil spirits and guilty beings..."

Previously, Chu Xuan found Jiang Yiyi’s move quite funny, but today’s performance truly broke his understanding.

Not to mention, infinite refills and perfect accuracy, just these two features are very useful in the first three realms; and Jiang Yiyi seemingly can freely control the direction of the currents, which, if played well, is definitely a magical skill.

Thinking back, the people like Floating Cloud might not have stood still waiting to be struck, maybe even they couldn’t escape it.

Master ancestor was still boasting about her little lightning, but Qin Mengyao raised her hand to interrupt:

"Let’s discuss things when we get back."

Jiang Yiyi was naturally displeased, but Qin Mengyao’s expression was very serious: 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Just now, our little junior brother was seriously injured. I’m worried that if this continues, his injury might worsen further, potentially jeopardizing his future."

"Ah?" Xiao Yue was shocked, "Is it that serious? Then we should hurry back."

Ye Xingming, who had been closing his eyes to focus, also opened them in confusion, wondering if he was really that badly hurt. He felt okay.

But seeing the undeniable look from elder sister, he obediently nodded like a quail.

After all, the elder sister must be right, her perspective is not comparable to his.

Jiang Yiyi sighed, "Alright, then let’s talk while we walk."

"You two take the little junior brother ahead, remember, as fast as possible."

"Junior brother Chu and I still have to organize the spoils, not to mention, at least that Demon Pill needs to be extracted, right?"

The group thought it was true, this battle was life-threatening, if there’s no harvest, it would really be a big loss.

Chu Xuan didn’t say much upon hearing this, only nodded to Xiao Yue and the others, "Listen to Master Ancestor for anything on the way."

After today’s battle, he finally had a little bit of trust in his own ancestor, no longer simply seeing her as a jokester.

Jiang Yiyi laughed gleefully upon hearing this, "Good, Chu Xuan, you finally understand to respect your elders."

She clapped her hands, "Alright! Let’s go, can little Ye fly on his own? Or would you prefer lying on my cloud?"

Ye Xingming shook his head and stood up, "It’s not that exaggerated."

The three of them took off one by one, Xiao Yue turned back to the senior sister and brother and said: "Then you guys have to catch up quickly and meet us~"

Qin Mengyao nodded, watched the three fly farther and farther.

...

"What to do? Boss, should we pursue?" This time it was the third brother who was anxious because the beauties he fancied ran away.

"Have they discovered they’re surrounded? Is this a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" the seventh brother asked in confusion.

The boss shook his head slightly, "Doesn’t seem like it, and most importantly, the Golden Core demon beast’s corpse is still here."

"Seventh brother, use earth escape to follow them and confirm whether those three are indeed leaving or lurking nearby. We’ll wait for your news."

The seventh brother nodded but asked, "If they really want to leave, are we just letting them go?"

"Let them go." The boss didn’t hesitate, "Do not lose the big for the small, and don’t be too greedy."

"No matter whether they realize our existence, at any rate, we haven’t exposed our faces or made a move, it doesn’t matter if these people escape."

"Just confirm their departure, you must come right back. We have to take down the two people in the valley with the fastest speed and then escape swiftly."

Earlier, the party had already explored ten miles around, absolutely no other cultivators were present, even if those three wanted reinforcements, it wouldn’t happen immediately."

The seventh brother nodded solemnly and left immediately.

In the valley, the pair of male and female cultivators were not anxious to deal with the fierce crocodile’s body, just seized the time to meditate and adjust their breath.

The crowd felt a bit anxious, but, fortunately, not long after, the seventh brother swiftly returned using earth escape.

"They left without looking back, they didn’t seem like they’re fleeing, actually laughing and chatting."

The boss nodded, "Action."

...

When five unfamiliar cultivators began to encircle from all sides of the valley, Qin Mengyao and Chu Xuan simultaneously opened their eyes.

Actually, Chu Xuan didn’t know what happened, but during the battle, senior sister secretly reminded him once: Previously there were cultivators who dealt with this fierce crocodile.

This was interesting, thus even though senior sister made some strange decisions, like letting Jiang Yiyi and others go first, Chu Xuan didn’t object.

Now the two of them stood up simultaneously, judging from their appearance, these five cultivators were certainly not friendly.

The leader on the opposite side was a middle-aged man, he cupped his hands and smiled, "Both of you have worked hard, today’s Poison Blood Profound Crocodile should belong to us."

Qin Mengyao was not angry, only asked, "You also bought the information from Chen Yun?"

The man nodded, "Exactly, we spent a huge amount of money, unexpectedly arrived to see the crocodile lying dead, may I ask if you could give it up?"

Qin Mengyao shook her head, "Seems you’re not with Chen Yun, otherwise he wouldn’t be hiding so far."

"Honestly, Chen Yun is not straightforward, he sold this information at least three times."

This time it was the boss’s turn to be stunned, he originally wanted to bluff about the origin of these two before making a move.

After all, disciples from sects are often zealous and would reveal their affiliations when agitated, unexpectedly he heard an unexpected answer.

Qin Mengyao pointed to the crocodile’s corpse, "During the fight, I noticed the tear wound on the crocodile’s abdomen doesn’t resemble what was caused by the Golden Core fierce ape in the information, but rather like a sword wound."

"Later, after repeated close encounters, I further confirmed it because there remained a hint of Metal Sword Qi in that wound."

"Since it’s confirmed Chen Yun isn’t honest, I had to guard against his plots against us, which is why I had the younger junior brothers and sisters leave first."
