Chapter 129 - The Divine Sect’s Ambitions (1/2)
It was not just Lingnan city, but also Wanghai City, Jiangdong City, and several other surrounding cities.
A large number of star beasts suddenly emerged in each city, but in the blink of an eye, they were all annihilated by an inexplicable sword light.
It could be said that it was a narrow escape.
While people rejoiced at having survived the calamity, they could not help but begin to guess the identity of the mighty figure who had saved them.
Many people thought of the few mysterious martial arts experts in Jianghai city.
In a short while, the local forums of various cities were all filled with posts about the martial arts experts in Wanghai city.
Although there had been similar posts before, at that time, Ye Xiao had not displayed his strength in other cities, so there were not many discussions in other cities and the attention was not very great.
At that point, Ye Xiao was really popular.
"A mysterious martial arts expert has appeared again, suspected to be the reincarnation of a sword immortal."
...
"The sword has arrived before the person can be seen. With a single thought, an expert can destroy 20,000 star beasts, seeking the cultivation data of an expert."
...
"Jianghai city says that a senior martial arts expert is a great grandmaster, but I think it's pure nonsense. That senior, Sword Immortal must be a divine sect martial artist!"
...
All sorts of posts were hyped up.
Some netizens from cities further away could not help but feel envious.
"I'm so envious. Our Chu province's Zhongshan city is in trouble. Right now, the streets are filled with star beasts. I don't even dare to go out."
...
"The Jing province's Shan city is envious. I just lost a finger to a star beast and have retreated to the hospital at the back, but the hospital is already full."
...
"Why didn't the martial arts expert come to our city? Sob, sob, sob, sob... It's not fair. I strongly request that the mysterious martial art expert come to our city. I can give the martial arts expert a monkey!"
...
Ye Xiao naturally did not know about those things. At that moment, he was in the canyon, eating heartily with Huan Liuli.
"Not to mention, this old b*stard's meat is a bit lean, but it's not tough at all."
Huan Liuli nodded frantically in agreement as she hummed,
"Braised tortoise meat is my favorite, sweet and spicy with honey sauce. King El should be out in two days. When that time comes, shall we make braised mutton stew?"
"Braised mutton isn't good. Barbecue is the way to go."
"Doesn't mutton soup smell good?"
"Mutton soup isn't good. Mutton soup tastes good when it's cold in the winter. It's not good yet. It's the season for barbecue and beer to prevail."
...
The master and the servant, a human and a cat, ate up all the braised turtle star beast. Huan Liuli patted her round belly and lay on the ground, unable to get up.
"Master, look, you've made my stomach so big again!"
"Who told you to eat so much?"
"It's too delicious. I can't help it."
"Stop talking nonsense. Quickly gather all the star cores and flesh of these star beasts."
Ye Xiao kicked Huan Liuli's buttocks, and she hurriedly got up to work.
"Got it."
At that point, she felt that she was no longer so resistant to being Ye Xiao's slave.
Star beasts were never slaves, but she could not refuse Ye Xiao's food and shelter.
The Xiantian fifth-grade Black Tortoise bloodline star beast, a great grandmaster, was stewed just like that.
The taste...
The texture...
The material...
Why was she so obedient? Well, it was hard to find something just as good in the world.
After eating braised tortoise meat, her cultivation was already close to a Xiantian fourth grade. Now, her blood essence was pumping non-stop. It was likely that she would advance to the next grade tonight.
Just thinking about it made her happy.
She decided to add another hundred years and become his servant for 800 years.
She would do something about it after 800 years.
Huan Liuli quickly collected all the star cores and star beasts that had just died. She placed them in front of Ye Xiao and piled them into a small mountain.
Ye Xiao did not say anything and immediately began to use the Ten Thousand to One to refine all those materials into a medicinal pill.
If he was not surprised, King El should be about to make his grand entrance.
Although he could cross ranks to fight, it was still better for him to raise his cultivation and reach the divine grandmaster rank.
It was safer.
In the Xiantian realm, only the three grades of the great grandmaster rank required one to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts. After reaching the divine grandmaster rank, one's thoughts and understanding of the true meaning of martial arts would gradually mature. Therefore, as long as one's cultivation was sufficient and one's thoughts evolved, one would easily advance to the divine grandmaster rank.
There were originally more than 140,000 star beasts here. Around 100,000 of them had already been sent out, and there were less than 40,000 left. However, there were more grandmasters here, and there was also the star core of the Black Tortoise clan's bloodline. It was a Xiantian fifth-grade star core.
In addition to that, he had just eaten a Xiantian fifth-grade b*stard, and his body had accumulated quite a bit of spiritual energy and blood essence.
All of that combined was enough for him to try and advance to the Xiantian seven grade or the divine grandmaster rank.
