Chapter 902: Mountains Meet

he daily debates of the court officials coming and going. Some even suggested that her grandmother reinstate her former husband, but she turned them all down one by one."After going back, Nannan tilte...Ripple had been keeping a close eye on the surroundings. The commotion caused by the two fighting was bound to attract curious demons and cultivators. Everyone was hoping to take advantage of the situation, waiting for one side to win so they could reap the benefits. When they saw Cyclone victorious, they all wanted to pick the fruit.

The ripples weren't just decorations, she cast a spell, whipping up a whirlwind that pulled the net aside and prevented the opponent from succeeding.

The whirlwind also felt a cultivator trying to capture him. He let out a roar and then leaped, reverting back to his black cat form and jumping into Lian's arms.

Ripple cast a Purifying Dust technique on Cyclone, sending him into the Spirit Beast Encirclement to heal and absorb the beast core. This was Cyclone's war prize. After absorbing the beast core, he would reach the peak of the second rank.

Seeing her net being swept away by a gust of wind, a young female cultivator was unhappy. She jumped out to retrieve her net and came face-to-face with the ripples. Just as she was about to yell, she suddenly couldn't bring herself to speak.

Because the ripple's form flickered, it had already stood two steps away from the female cultivator. Its divine sense enveloped her whole body, and after a breath, it withdrew before speaking:

"This fellow cultivator, the whirlwind is my spirit beast, I'm afraid it can't become your prey."

"My friend, please forgive me. My eyes were dim and I didn't see that the black tiger belonged to someone. I thought it was two demonic beasts fighting over territory. This is a misunderstanding."

The female cultivator felt as if she had been seen through after the ripple appeared. This feeling only occurred when encountering high-level cultivators, and in this case, she couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level at all. Immediately, she cowardly apologized, hoping the other party wouldn't pursue it.

Seeing that the other party was so sensible, it wasn't good for her to keep pestering them. After all, the female cultivator hadn't done any real damage to the whirlwind, so she spoke very generously:

"It's fine, since it was a misunderstanding, it's good that it's cleared up."

Immediately, with a wave of his sleeves, he collected the scattered carcasses of the Razorback Pigs and put them into his storage pouch. Then, he turned and walked towards the mountain range.

The female cultivator let out a sigh of relief. She was lucky she had backed down quickly. Seeing the ripples leave, she quickly regrouped with her teammates and left the place where the tusked boar and black tiger had been fighting.

On the other side, Ran Miaolan had already joined Du Le's team. The group of five had entered the middle ring of Yonghe Mountains a day earlier than Li Anni. They had entered this mountain range five days ago and stayed on the outskirts for a while. First, they completed some tasks like foraging and hunting, and second, to familiarize themselves with each other and properly blend in, which caused a delay.

The five of them were now entangled with a man-eating flower. It was Du Led led them here on purpose, aiming to secretly seize Ran Miaolan's luck. Through their cooperation over time, she had gained Ran Miaolan's trust. With this man-eating flower, she could succeed.

Unfortunately, Du only thought about seizing luck, ignoring Ran Miaolan's own good fortune. The person's auspicious star has already arrived.

The ripples were now close to where they had been fighting. This was mainly because her spiritual sense was strong enough to see the few people entangled with the third-order man-eating flower first, and then she saw Du Le'le at a glance, so she rushed straight towards them.

The man-eating flower has already taken several people as its food, using its roots to entangle them and desperately trying to stuff them into its large flower dish. Everyone used all their might, various spells clashing and constantly chopping down the roots that entangled them. But just as one was severed, new ones came creeping up, making it impossible to break free for a while.

After the ripples reached the battlefield, she immediately chanted a spell and released countless wind blades, cutting off all the roots that were binding people. Before the opponent could extend new roots, she chanted and slashed with the largest wind blade, striking directly at the man-eating flower's roots.

The man-eating flower was severely wounded and immediately retracted all its roots, then burrowed itself into the soil and escaped by means of earth escape.

The ripples dissipated, leaving her with no choice but to withdraw her hand that had already formed the seal. She still wanted to take that carnivorous plant into her spatial pouch and raise it as a pet, but the other party had escaped too quickly.

Ran Miaolan and the task force members broke free from their bonds, then thanked Lián Yī for their help.

"Thank you, fellow cultivator, for your help. You saved us from the man-eating flower's attack."

The squad leader, Lang Qi, bowed respectfully.

"No need to thank me, I've been tracking that man-eating flower for quite some time now. It's just that the creature is very cunning and has been evading me all along. Just now when I made my move, it ran away again."

Ripples said calmly.

The main reason was that she recklessly interfered in other squads' battles, and there had to be a plausible explanation. Apparently, following the man-eating flower all the way here was the most suitable excuse.

"I see. Looks like our team is lucky, otherwise we would have had a tough battle. You came and scared them off right away."

Ran Miaolan also smiled and said, no matter what the other party's intentions were, they benefited in the end.

And Du Li had been having his left eyelid twitch nonstop ever since the ripples appeared. He was completely sure he didn't recognize the other party, whether in appearance, skill, or even the wind element attack spells they used.

Lang Qi and Ran Miaolan both saw that Lian Yi's cultivation was at the late stage of foundation building, so after confirming that Lian Yi had been separated from her teammates, Lang Qi immediately invited:

>>>>

"Fellow cultivator, our meeting here proves we are destined. It is too dangerous to journey alone in the Yonghe Mountain Range. How about joining us temporarily before you reunite with your companions What do you think"

After hearing the other party's words, Lianyi pretended to lower her eyes in thought, but the corner of her eye caught Du Leilei's flickering gaze. So she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Okay."

"That's great, I'm Langqi, the temporary captain of this squad."

After Langqi introduced himself, the rest of the people took turns introducing themselves, and finally it was Lianyi's turn:

“My surname is Yi, my given name is only one character, Lian. You can call me Yi Lian.”

Ripples temporarily gave herself another alias.

After a brief exchange, the crowd moved toward the direction of the three-tiered lotus flower.

Du Li was still walking with Ran Miaolan. The two would exchange a few words from time to time. She instinctively didn't want Yi Lian to get close to Ran Miaolan.

Unfortunately, several of them were scattered when a swarm of golden red bees attacked them. Du Le, Ran Miaolan, and Lian Yi chose the same direction to avoid the golden red bees.

There was a river in front of us, so we took refuge in the water temporarily.

Du's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a way to get rid of Yi Lian.

"Good!"

Ran Miao Lan didn't think much, she immediately replied, then leaped into the river. Ripples followed closely behind, and Du Lu was left at the end, after all, her cultivation level was the lowest among the three.

The moment they entered the water, the three quickly held their breath, merging themselves with the river and avoiding pursuit by the golden-red bees.

Before the ripples reached the water, Liàn Yī used a wind technique to scatter the three people's auras. For a moment, this group of first-order Jinchì bees lost their target and could only hover constantly above the river.

This swarm of golden-red hornets was attracted when they were collecting honey. Although they are all first-order monsters, they can't withstand the sheer number of them. Ants can kill elephants, let alone seven people. youKenny lowered his head, knowing that the young master was in a bad mood, so he tried his best to minimize his presence."I can't wait, get some good hands on him, just make a move when the opportun...
