Chapter 2401 A Favor

Yang Fei immediately frowned and glanced at the little girl in the distance, who was joyfully digging out the eyes of the Demonic Beast.

This young girl, around twelve or thirteen years old, had a slender figure and lively movements, vaguely resembling a peerless beauty in the making.

Logically speaking, with such a request from the elder, any normal man wouldn't be able to refuse.

But Yang Fei knew that this matter wasn't that simple.

Although the elder's words were very polite, offering a Royal Princess to him as a maid.

However, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world; there must be something behind it.

He frowned, and pressed the Sumeru Ring into the elder's hand.

"I can't accept your request. I'm entrusted with heavy responsibilities and don't have time to care for others."

The elder shook his hands repeatedly, refusing to take the Sumeru Ring Yang Fei was handing over.

"Master Yang misunderstood my intention. This item is to thank Master Yang for giving the Demonic Beast's eye to my granddaughter; there's no reason to take it back."

"As for my second request, if Master Yang doesn't want to, that's perfectly understandable. I just hope that if my granddaughter encounters difficulties in the future, Master Yang could help her a bit."

Yang Fei gave the elder a deep look, his eyes clear as water, calm and serene.

Yang Fei thought for a moment and accepted the Sumeru Ring.

"Fine, I do need this item. Consider it that I owe you a favor."

"In the future, if the princess of the Fire-Swallowing Tribe encounters trouble, I promise to help her once."

The elder's face showed a sign of relief, and he bowed deeply to Yang Fei.

"Thank you, Master Yang. I am willing to serve Master Yang loyally, face any trials, and spare no efforts."

As he spoke, he took the Virtual Ring from Yang Fei's hand.

"I will now help Master Yang store half of the Demonic Beast's flesh into the Virtual Ring."

Yang Fei nodded, without refusal.

An hour later, the massive Demonic Beast was cleanly butchered by everyone.

Yang Fei acquired half of the Demonic Beast's flesh, storing it in the Sumeru Ring.

In addition, he also obtained many precious Spiritual Blood and scales.

Everyone who benefitted from Yang Fei regarded him with utmost respect, almost revering him as a Heavenly Being.

Yang Fei gazed at the sky in the distance, where endless magma and flames poured down.

A sea of fire spread across the wilderness, raising a perplexing question in his heart.

This Qilin Holy Land is exactly like the Antiquity barbaric era.

Apart from being a Demonic Beast haven, where could there be Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands?

He slowly expanded his Divine Thought, his Primordial Spirit out of body, scanning the entire wilderness in an instant.

The Barbaric Wilderness was almost entirely populated with Demonic Beasts of all sizes, possessing various Innate Divine Abilities.

These Demonic Beasts were extremely perceptive.

As Yang Fei's Divine Thought swept across, they sensed the arrival of a powerful will, collectively howling at the sky with earth-shaking roars.

All the cultivators changed color on their faces.

The roar of myriad beasts generated violent and fierce auras, surging into the sky and forming thick ominous clouds.

The crowd's hearts were uneasy; knowing that this so-called Qilin Holy Land turned out to be such a treacherous place, many wouldn't have wanted to enter.

Suddenly, Yang Fei discovered a powerful aura rising from the peak in the Northwest, shooting over in this direction.

On that peak, there were ancient buildings faintly visible, with a seven-colored spiritual light soaring into the sky, countless runes flickering in the middle, forming a huge halo.

Yang Fei was somewhat astonished; could this be the legendary Teleportation Array?

Yang Fei knew there must be significance there, immediately withdrawing his Divine Thought and abruptly opening his eyes.

At that moment, the powerful aura transformed into a long rainbow, shooting over toward them.

Yang Fei looked up, the sky rolled with dark clouds and mist.

A massive shadow of a Demonic Beast hovered half in cloud and fog, looming indistinctly.

This time, even Yang Fei felt a chill in his heart, urgently ordering everyone.

"Everyone, retreat quickly, this thing looks even more terrifying, and with other Demonic Beasts surrounding, it truly is a deadly threat."

As he spoke, hundreds of massive silhouettes rose from the ground, indeed surrounding Yang Fei and the others.

This time, all cultivators panicked.

That massive Demonic Beast had already killed three or four people; these hundreds of gigantic Demonic Beasts were even more terrifying.

Everyone followed Yang Fei, fleeing toward the Northwest.

Each person unleashed their most powerful Divine Skills, moving as swiftly as lightning.

However, as soon as they rushed ten miles, they were covered by the gigantic shadow in the sky.

And less than a kilometer ahead, the herd of Demonic Beasts charged like a tidal wave.

The enormous shadow in the sky swooped down, its form coiling and twisting—indeed, it was a massive Black Dragon, displaying its menacing claws ferociously.

Seeing such a terrifying Primordial Behemoth, every cultivator fled to both sides, rolling and crawling, with cries of distress filling the air.

A Sun God cultivator stared in shock, forgetting to dodge and got impaled by the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon's head emerged from the back, completely penetrating the cultivator's chest.

The Black Dragon passed through the Sun God cultivator's body, strangely, without leaving a trace of injury.

He closed his eyes tightly and collapsed backward with a thud.

Yang Fei froze, cautiously looking at the cultivator.

Yang Fei noticed he had already stopped breathing, with both Soul and Divine Thought entirely vanished.

He glanced again at the Black Dragon spiraling and flying above.

No matter how realistic the Black Dragon's appearance was, in Yang Fei's eyes, it was not a physical entity but merely an illusory shadow.

Yang Fei suddenly realized, stopping in his tracks, and shouted loudly.

"Don't panic, everyone, this creature died long ago, and it's just that the Divine Thought hasn't completely dissipated yet."

Upon hearing this, everyone halted their steps, cautiously observing the swaying and roaring Black Dragon in the sky.

Indeed, although the Black Dragon looked exactly like a real dragon, upon closer inspection, it was shrouded in black mist from head to toe.

The Black Dragon's scales in some areas were not physical, merely outlines.

This time, everyone was even more terrified.

The Black Dragon's former might was unimaginable.

It had been dead for thousands of years, yet its remaining fragmented Divine Thought could still instantly kill a regular Sun God cultivator, defying nature like a Monster.

As the crowd stood astounded, hundreds of massive illusory Demonic Beast shadows had already pounced in front of them.

All these Demonic Beast shadows were entwined with black mist; they turned out to be nothing more than fragmented Divine Thoughts left by Demonic Beasts after death.

Yang Fei felt it utterly incredible.

This place had such an abundance of Great Divine Power Demonic Beasts killed—who actually killed them?

Ah!

At this moment, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was embraced by a monster resembling an ape, who plunged into his body, making a desperate scream.

In one second, the throat-like monster devoured his Nascent Soul, claiming his life.

Everyone was shocked.

After these Demonic Beasts died, their Divine Thoughts were constantly eroded by Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, leaving hardly one from ten thousand Divine Thoughts.

However, even with just one remaining Divine Thought, it could still kill Nascent Soul Stage or even Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators—what horrifying creatures!
