Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 115 Using a Lotus to Kill, an Ancient Cultivator's Cave?!

"Lord, how much longer do we have to wait? It's been two days already. Those Dongling Academy disciples are inside. They should have become food for the ferocious beasts by now. Shouldn't we go and collect their corpses?"

In front of a cave in the canyon, a group of elders from the Southern Academy paced back and forth.

They were tasked with hunting down Cai Kun and his group who had left Xiaoyao City, but these disciples from Dongling Academy, relying on talismans, managed to escape all the way to this canyon and then rushed into a cave and disappeared.

"Collect the corpse? Are you going to collect your own corpse?"

The Lord of Nanli glared at the crowd, then coldly said, "Have you all lost all reverence for the ferocious beasts of the grotto-heavens?!"

"The cave before us is filled with a menacing aura; a great demon must be lurking within!"

"Even a Beast Lord at the Refinement Realm!"

Beast Lord!?

The cultivators from Nanli Academy exchanged glances, their expressions suddenly turning fearful and apprehensive.

The Beast Lord is terrifying. Not to mention them, even if a powerful academy expert were to descend, they might not be able to contend with him.

"So, all we need to do is stay here and wait for the Tianfeng Academy and the cultivators from Zhuiming Valley to come and provide support."

"And I believe that Gu Jiancheng will definitely come!"

"At that time, I will personally tear him to pieces!" As he said this, the Lord of Nanli's face became extremely ferocious, like a transformed beast!

"Lord, what is that!?"

But at that moment, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out behind him.

The Lord of Nanli was slightly taken aback, then turned around and looked up in the direction of the sound, only to find an extremely dazzling lotus flower slowly descending from the dark sky.

Although the blood-red lotus was not large, it was surrounded by an extremely dense crimson light that swirled and spread for thousands of feet, making it exceptionally eerie and astonishing.

But this thing looks so mysterious, how could he, as the head of the academy, have never seen it before!?

It wasn't until the blood-red demonic lotus landed and a strange fragrance filled the canyon that everyone came to their senses and rushed forward, filled with astonishment and doubt.

"Lord of the Manor, could this be some kind of treasure?"

"Its grade looks pretty high. Maybe if we take it back to Tianfeng City, we can sell it for an astronomical price!"

"Haha, a treasure has fallen from the sky! Could it be that our luck has finally turned?"

"Lord, Qianfan has been crippled. This item seems to be effective against divine sense, and could restore Qianfan's former talents?"

As everyone chattered amongst themselves, the Lord of Nanli also arrived before the demonic lotus, growing increasingly alarmed with each glance.

This object does indeed emit a powerful energy that can disturb the soul; it may truly be a treasure!

But why would such a treasure suddenly fall from the sky?

This is just too strange.

buzzing...

But at this moment, a strange buzzing sound suddenly began to rise from outside the canyon above, like swarms of mosquitoes hovering around one's ears.

In fact, the sound became increasingly intense and dense, filling the entire canyon within just a few breaths.

hum!

The next moment, the isolation array above everyone's heads suddenly exploded, and ripples of profound light spread outwards, while an extremely violent and ferocious aura seeped in!

"Oh no! A ferocious beast has descended!"

The Lord of Nanli was immediately shocked, and all the academy cultivators quickly gathered around the demon lotus, looking up at the magic array barrier that was constantly being impacted.

After descending into the canyon, they set up a magic array to isolate their presence and prevent being surrounded by ferocious beasts. But now these beasts have discovered them!?

Click!

To their despair, the high-level defensive array was shattered in just a few breaths.

Only then did they realize with horror that the canyon was now teeming with countless ferocious beasts!

Among these ferocious beasts, many have already transformed into half-human, half-beast forms, with wings on their backs, ferocious and terrifying. Their cultivation levels are all above the Four Symbols Realm, and there are more than a dozen at the Heavenly Observation Realm!

For the cultivators of Nanli Academy, this was nothing short of a catastrophe!

"Lord, what exactly is going on?"

"What should we do?!"

Everyone panicked at this moment, and quite a few cultivators were so frightened that they wet their pants.

"The only way is to fight to the death and wait for the experts from Chasing Life Valley and Heavenly Peak to arrive!"

But the Lord of Nanli gritted his teeth, his heart filled with shock and anger.

The canyon is now a dead end; they are surrounded and their only chance of survival is to fight to the death.

To his despair, the ferocious beasts surged forth like a tide, giving them no chance whatsoever. They charged down and slaughtered hundreds of cultivators from the Southern Li Academy in a one-sided massacre.

Just a few breaths later, he was the only one left struggling in front of the demon lotus.

Among the eight academy masters, his cultivation level was the highest, even reaching the peak of the mid-stage of the Heavenly Observation Realm.

But how long can he hold out against the combined might of numerous ferocious beasts at the Heavenly Observation Realm?

"Hehe, do you like my Nine-Bend Demon Lotus?"

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng descended from the void above the canyon.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Nanli's eyes instantly turned blood red.

Gu Jiancheng, the Demon Lotus?!

"You plotted against me!?"

He wasn't stupid; only now did he realize that he had been outmaneuvered by Gu Jiancheng, a junior!

"You're not worth scheming against. I just want the contribution points here." But Gu Jiancheng just shrugged, not caring at all.

"Gu Jiancheng, don't gloat! Even if I die here today, how can you escape the beasts' hunt?!"

"Moreover, the Heavenly Peak expert is already on his way. I can wait for you on the road to the Yellow Springs, hahaha!" The master of the Southern Li Academy laughed wildly, as if he had gone mad.

"Heh, a powerful figure from Tianfeng Academy?"

"Then I'll just wait for them to come and die. As for these ferocious beasts in front of us, you can keep an eye on them before you die. It's already a blessing that Xi Qianfan was only crippled that day!"

hum!

Gu Jiancheng chuckled, and as his voice fell, he waved his hand, unleashing his full power at the peak of the Four Symbols realm. His sword intent raged like a tidal wave, and wherever it passed, all the ferocious beasts were slain!

Even the dozen or so ferocious beast kings at the Heavenly Observation Realm were all slain and turned into blood mist, burned to ashes by the scorching flames!

Gu Jiancheng's combat strength is actually comparable to, or even stronger than, the late stage of the Guantian Realm?

The Lord of Nanli looked at everything before him, his heart filled with mixed emotions, until he himself was swallowed up by the sword energy.

A moment later, after gathering all the malevolent energy, Gu Jiancheng arrived at the cave.

At this moment, the malevolent aura inside the cave seemed to intensify.

But under Gu Jiancheng's divine eyes, there was more than just a murderous aura inside the cave.

"The smell of space and magic array... tsk tsk, could it be an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling inside?"

"interesting!"

Gu Jiancheng muttered something to himself before stepping inside.

He only intended to rescue people and take them back, but unexpectedly, he actually encountered a stroke of luck.

Perhaps, it wasn't a wasted trip!
