Chapter 1115 Old Friends (1/2)

Numerous figures were currently scouting the area.

Each of these figures were accompanied by ferocious beasts, their guttural cries endlessly echoing amidst the mountains.

A man stood with his hands behind his back on one of the peaks. He had a head full of white hair, and gave off a somewhat timeless aura. However, his eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look at them directly.

He was called Tong He, and was the number one Heavenly Sun of the Yushou Region. He was also the leader of the Hunyuan Heaven Yushou Region team.

Behind Tong He, a Yushou Region disciple reported, “Senior brother Tong He, we’ve been searching for several days but have yet to find that girl.”

Tong He indifferently said, “It’s fine. We’ve already surrounded the entire mountain range. She can’t escape.”

There was fear and anger in the disciple’s eyes as he remarked, “That girl is truly abominable. I don’t know what method she used to make our battle beasts defect.”

They had never encountered such a situation before. After all, the Yushou Region was one of the best beast tamers even among all the heavens. No one had expected them to suffer at the hands of a little girl from Cangxuan Heaven.

Tong He glanced at the disciple and said, “I heard that you guys were the first to attack when you met her?”

The disciple’s expression changed slightly, but he ultimately did not conceal anything and answered in a low voice, “Some of our junior brothers were interested in the strange bird she had. Its bloodline was quite pure.”

Tong He frowned and said, “I will deal with you guys when we return.”

The disciple had no choice but to acknowledge.

Tong He’s tone grew icy, “However, our Yushou Region’s face is not something someone from a mere Cangxuan Heaven can step on.”

There was pride in his voice, and disdain towards Cangxuan Heaven. But this was normal. Cangxuan Heaven was ranked last among the heavens, and it was said that their only Saint had already died long ago. Their strongest expert was merely at the Law Domain stage.

In Hunyuan Heaven, such strength would likely be less than some of the top-tier factions.

Although the Yushou Region might be at fault in this matter, Tong He clearly did not intend on settling things fairly. In this world, only equally strong parties would discuss fairness, and in Tong He’s view, those from Cangxuan Heaven did not have the right to reason with him.

Moreover, they needed to know how the girl had made their battle beasts defect, because such a threat was far too great to them.

Once the Yushou Region lost their battle beasts, their battle power would greatly diminish.

“Right, senior brother Tong Yu, someone else has been hindering our scouting efforts. It's another girl whose cultivation is at the initial Heavenly Sun stage, but she is unimaginably quick, and we’re incapable of catching her.

“We suspect her to be the green-haired girl’s companion.”

“Initial Heavenly Sun stage?” Tong He shook his head. Cangxuan Heaven was indeed the weakest of the heavens. To think that someone with such low cultivation was allowed to enter Guyuan Heaven.

“No need to pay any attention to her. If she’s hindering us, it must mean that we’re heading in the correct direction.

“Focus on catching the green-haired girl first.”

The disciple acknowledged and swiftly withdrew to spread the command. The Yushou Region scouting teams soon began to redouble their efforts.

...

In a cave deep in the mountain range.

A petite figure was seated on a rock, her hands propping up her distressed face.

Long dark-green hair hung from her head in a ponytail. She was more the small side, giving her a dainty feeling. Her face was bright and clean like jade, while also pure and beautiful. Her eyes in particular were exceptionally bright, flickering with cunningness and eccentricness.

If Zhou Yuan was present, he would certainly recognize this individual. Looking a little more matured, it was the first friend he had met after leaving the Great Zhou Empire...Luluo

Chirp chirp!

Blue light suddenly flashed on Luluo’s shoulder and a little ice-blue bird appeared. Ancient patterns seemed to shimmer on its tiny wings. When it appeared, the temperature in the cave abruptly plummeted as frost spread across the ground.

Its sharp beak gently nudged Luluo as if consoling her.

Luluo cupped the bird in her hands as she bitterly said, “Those Hunyuan Heaven people are too much! They were clearly the ones who struck first, and are even targeting me now.
