Chapter 519: Meet Mo Bing Again

The moment they stepped inside the barrier, dozens of wild beasts with strength equivalent to cultivators at the King Level ferociously attacked them.

With their large group, these wild beasts posed a threat. Even Xuanyuan Yueyao could kill many of them in a single attack.

Not to mention, their group also included Tian Xiaoqian, Xuanyuan Wenxuan, Zhu Xuan’er, Jiang Haoming, Xiao Qingning, Tian Wuxian, and the elders.

In the blink of an eye, they had already killed all the wild beasts. After all, their cultivation was at the Tyrant Level, and the strength of the beasts was only equivalent to cultivators at the King Level.

[Master, don’t rush to head to the third area; I’ve detected many useful herbs here in the second area.] After speaking, Xiao Ai displayed the locations of all the herbs on the system map, allowing Tang Xiao to check them all himself.

Tang Xiao smiled with delight as he looked at the system map. "Let’s stop first."

"Why do you want us to stop? Isn’t the central area the best location?" Tian Xiaoqian asked in confusion.

"Wait." Tang Xiao moved a little east, squatted there, and dug up the herbs. He brushed off the remaining soil on them, stood up, and returned to them. "See? This is the Purple Lightning Grass, and we can use it to concoct rank 6 and above pills."

"What? Are you serious? Rank 6 and above pills?" Everyone was shocked except for Xuanyuan Yueyao, Tang Xiao’s wives, and their families.

"This! In our realm, rank 5 pills are scarce, but you said rank 6 and above pills." Tian Weiran and Tian Qianye said in disbelief.

Since they didn’t know Tang Xiao very well, the two elders of the Jiang Clan also found it difficult to trust him.

"Let me see the herbs." Since Xuanyuan Wenxuan was the only alchemist in their group, Tang Xiao handed them over to him. He seriously observed the herbs, including leaves, stems, roots, and several other parts. "Honestly, I’ve never seen these herbs before, but I can sense a strong lightning element within them. If I have the right recipe, I’m confident I can concoct a pill using these herbs, and its effects will be beneficial for cultivators with the lightning element."

"So, these herbs are really rank 6 and above, young master?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Wenxuan returned the herbs to Tang Xiao. "We should not rush to go deeper into the area, and we will collect as many herbs in this area as possible. Besides, there are many beasts at the King and Emperor Level in this area, so the others can practice by fighting them for the time being."

Tang Huang, Zhang Fei, and Sun Quan immediately stepped forward. "Xiao’er, the three of us will go out to hunt beasts, and we will come back when night falls."

"Alright."

After the three old men left, Tang Yuan, Mu Qingge, Zhang Xingcai, and Tantai Lingyan also moved to another area. "We’ll be back later, Xiao’er."

"I’ll protect them, Tang Xiao." Without waiting for a response, Duanmu Jingjing hurriedly followed the four women. She wasn’t worried that the wild beasts would attack them, but she was worried about the demons and other cultivators.

Situ Lingxi turned to Tang Yin and the others. "How about we go train too? You guys can fight those beasts, and I’ll cover you from behind."

"I agree." Tang Yin turned to Mu Yan. "Are you coming with us? The beasts in this area are stronger than you, but they shouldn’t be a problem for you."

Mu Yan nodded. "We came here to train, and I don’t want to fall behind you all, so I’m going to join you."

"I’ll join you guys!" Huo Yan said.

"Let’s go."

Tang Yin, Xing Xing, Mu Yan, Sun Xiang, and Situ Lingxi immediately left as a group, followed by Situ Yang.

Since Huo Mianmian had lived in captivity for too long, Tang Wuxian decided to take her away with him, with Taixu Yue following behind them.

Xuanyuan Yueyao turned to Luo Feng and Xuanyuan Mengli. "Follow them and protect them."

The two elders looked at Xuanyuan Yueyao in surprise, but they didn’t argue with her and followed the two groups. Xuanyuan Mengli joined Situ Yang, and Luo Feng joined Taixu Yue.

After confirming that the area had many precious herbs, Xuanyuan Wenxuan hurried over to pick them up, accompanied by Zhu Xuan’er and the two elders of the Zhu Clan.

"We should go too, Haoming." Xiao Qingning pulled Jiang Haoming with her. "Even though I’m not an alchemist, I have a lot of knowledge about herbs, and we will look for them."

Jiang Haoming let out a helpless sigh and walked beside Xiao Qingning, followed by Jiang Zhiwei and Jiang Sihan.

Tian Xiaoqian turned to the two elders. "Elder Qianye and Elder Weiran, you two understand herbs better than I do, so I want you two to look for them as much as possible."

"But young miss, we—"

"No need." Tian Xiaoqian pointed to Xuanyuan Yueyao and Tang Xiao. "I will be safe with the two of them by my side."

"Don’t fret about it! Xiaoqian is not a weak woman, and she can protect herself." Xuanyuan Yueyao said.

Tian Weiran and Tian Qianye exchanged glances for a moment, nodded to the two women, and flew away.

"So, where are we going now?" Tian Xiaoqian asked Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao shook his head. "There are plenty of herbs around our current location, so we just need to look for them without having to go far."

"Are you an alchemist?"

"For now, I’m not an alchemist, but I might become one in the future, so I want to collect herbs now."

Tian Xiaoqian was confused by that. "Why? An alchemist requires years of training, and I think it would be too late if you only started practicing alchemy in the future."

"I’m not the type of person who can juggle many things at once, so I prefer to stay focused on my cultivation and my swordsmanship."

"Oh." Tian Xiaoqian nodded in understanding. "In that case, Yueyao and I will accompany you to pick those herbs."

"We—"

Thud... Thud...

Tian Xiaoqian immediately went on alert as soon as Mo Bing and a hooded person landed in front of them, but Tang Xiao and Xuanyuan Yueyao remained relaxed.

’Yueyao, she—’

Xuanyuan Yueyao waved her hand, signaling Tian Xiaoqian not to worry.

Tang Xiao sighed softly. "Why do you insist on coming to see me, Mo Bing?"

"Brother, my name is Mo Jie, and I forced my big sister to take me to see you." The hooded person revealed his identity. "I want to thank you, Brother. My eldest sister already told me that you left the Frost Ice Lily for her, and I managed to recover from my injury because of it."

Tian Xiaoqian was baffled as she listened to them; she didn’t expect that Tang Xiao had such a relationship with the fearsome ice demon general, Mo Bing. He even indirectly saved her little brother, which made her feel strange.

Tian Xiaoqian stole a glance at Xuanyuan Yueyao, but her best friend just smiled casually.

"I accept your gratitude, but you two must leave this place now." Tang Xiao glanced toward several other areas. "If they discover your presence, you will bring trouble upon me, and they will certainly attack you. Moreover, one of them is just as strong as you, Mo Bing."

"I understand." Mo Bing then asked him, "What are your plans for now?"

"For the time being, I’ll focus on gathering herbs in this area. Once I’ve collected enough, I’ll lead them to the third area." Tang Xiao suddenly remembered something. "Did Mo Wang bring that person to this place?"

Mo Bing nodded. "Mo Wang took him to the west, and you should be able to guess his plans."

"Oh?" Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Alright, I understand; you two should leave now."

"We will go to the central area."

"Wait!" Tang Xiao stopped them. "Don’t go to the central area for now! You should already be aware that this place isn’t the Misty Ridge, right?"

"That’s right." Mo Bing nodded again. "I’ve entered the Misty Ridge several times in the past, so I’m familiar with that place. As for this place, this is my first time here, and I can sense that the best things are concentrated in the central area."

"You’re not wrong about that, but you have to resist the urge to go to that area."

"Why?"

"This place is different from Misty Ridge, and many of the living creatures of this place are far stronger than you. They congregate in the central area, and you’ll be in serious trouble if you encounter them." Mo Bing looked at Tang Xiao with many questions written on her face. "I can’t explain the details to you, but you should already know that I won’t harm you, so I hope you will believe me."

Mo Bing thought for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I will follow your advice, and I will take my little brother to another area first. If you need my help, you can channel your qi to that thing, and I will come straight to you."

"Okay."

After Mo Bing and Mo Jie left, Tian Xiaoqian immediately asked Tang Xiao, "Why are you in a relationship with her?"

"Why?"

"She is a demon, and she is one of the five demon generals."

"Hahaha," Tang Xiao laughed. "Let me ask you something, Young Miss Tian. Do you truly believe that demons are far more cruel than humans? Have you never seen humans who are far more cruel than demons?"

"I’ve met many humans who are crueler than demons, but—"

"But what?" Tang Xiao interrupted her. "Aren’t you and all the other cultivators in this realm being far too selfish and hypocrites? Many humans are crueler than demons, so why don’t you hate them?"
