Chapter 219 Reunion with the White Ape
The western border of the Yue Kingdom.
Wanfeng Mountains.
A pale green streak of light darted through the rolling mountains.
A young man in white stood quietly on the flying boat artifact.
Guided by the Azure Wood King Butterfly, Lin Changsheng took a long detour through the eastern part of Yue Kingdom, bypassing the front-line battlefield, and infiltrated the Wanfeng Mountains.
"Lin boy, go faster!"
In her ear, she heard Aoki Ocho's anxious urging voice.
"Senior Aoki, didn't you confidently say earlier that even if a fourth-tier array master were to intervene, that great array would be able to withstand it for more than half a month..."
Lin Changsheng accepted a dull, discarded near-third-tier escape talisman, feeling a pang of heartache, and said helplessly.
This is already the fourth near-third-tier escape talisman used in a short period of time.
Along the way, the Aoki King Butterfly kept urging them on, even at the cost of consuming its own essence, and offered to use the Seven-Colored King Butterfly Wings to travel faster.
But Lin Changsheng rejected him.
The situation on the front lines is complex and unpredictable, and there is even a chance of encountering cultivators at the Golden Core stage or higher.
The Seven-Colored King Butterfly Wings were his most important means of survival against high-level cultivators, so he naturally couldn't use them lightly for traveling.
So, at Qingmu Wangdie's urging, Lin Changsheng repeatedly used up quasi-third-tier escape talismans to travel faster.
"We don't yet know how many Nascent Soul cultivators you humans have deployed, so we naturally need to buy as much time as possible."
"Besides, although your cultivation level is low, your talisman-making skills are passable. Among human cultivators, you are quite good. It's just a quasi-third-order escape talisman. I know you've prepared a lot of talismans on a regular basis."
Aoki Wangdie's slightly disdainful voice came over, seemingly quite dissatisfied with Lin Changsheng's petty nature.
Upon hearing this, Lin Changsheng could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.
In the outside world, even a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator would treasure a near-Third-Order Escape Talisman and keep it as a precious gem, never using it lightly unless absolutely necessary.
If people knew that he was using a near-third-tier escape talisman to travel, he would probably attract a lot of envy.
While thinking this, Lin Changsheng still took out a brand new third-tier escape talisman, attached it to the flying boat, and activated it.
……
Not long after, Lin Changsheng, who was flying away, suddenly paused slightly.
"Huh, there's the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and also the aura of a demonic beast!"
Using his own senses, Lin Changsheng detected several subtle auras from afar.
The intense fluctuations in energy indicated that a fight had taken place.
However, the aura of that monster seemed somewhat special. Despite possessing the deterrent power of a third-tier monster, its overall aura was still at the peak of the second tier.
As for the other human cultivators, there seemed to be an aura that Lin Changsheng felt he had seen before.
The direction they were in happened to be not far from the destination that Aoki Ocho had mentioned.
After a slight hesitation, Lin Changsheng activated the flying boat magic artifact and quietly approached.
Before long, a thrilling fight scene appeared before them.
Five Foundation Establishment cultivators, both male and female, are working together to defend against an attack from a massive silver-haired white ape.
During this time, all sorts of dazzling spells and talismans appeared one after another, and magical energy intertwined, with huge noises rising and falling.
However, this silver-haired white ape only had a few charred spots on its body, and not even a single external injury.
Even when it directly withstands the magic weapon activated by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it only produces a crisp sound.
This silver-haired white ape was exceptionally handsome, its sharp, ferocious fangs bared, and its cold eyes were fixed on one of the five people, a quiet woman dressed in a pale yellow dress.
"This is... Su Xuyan from Shangqing Palace?"
Lin Changsheng recognized the stunningly beautiful girl at a glance.
After many years, Su Xuyan's appearance has hardly changed, except that her makeup and dressing style are slightly more mature and different from back then.
"Could that be the white ape that escaped back then?"
Lin Changsheng muttered to himself, his gaze filled with surprise as he carefully examined the silver-haired white ape.
After seeing some of the details clearly, a look of certainty appeared on his face.
This white ape really is the same one that attracted the wolf pack back then and eventually escaped from Su Xuyan and Nangong Qingtan!
Although they didn't know why Su Xuyan and the others were fighting with the white ape.
But judging from the white ape's relentless attack, it was clear that it still harbored resentment over what happened back then, and launched a frenzied attack.
What surprised Lin Changsheng the most was that the demonic aura on the silver-haired white ape was clearly at the peak of the second tier.
However, his terrifying blood and qi power completely exceeded the second-tier range, and his physical strength was almost comparable to the early third-tier level.
A punch thrown almost casually could exceed the limits that an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could handle.
"This white ape has progressed so quickly; it seems to be exceptionally gifted."
Lin Changsheng stared at the silver-haired white ape, feeling slightly surprised.
"That little monkey underwent a mutation a few years ago and seized the opportunity to revert to its ancestral form, awakening some kind of ancient ape bloodline. In short, it's not simple."
At that moment, Aoki King Butterfly's faint voice came from beside him, as if she were no stranger to the white ape.
"Senior Aoki also knows about this white ape?"
Lin Changsheng asked curiously.
Based on what happened back then, he only knew that this white ape was extremely intelligent, but he didn't know much about its talent and bloodline.
“Indeed, this little monkey was quite bold back then, daring to roam in the central area of the Wanfeng Mountains when it had just entered the second tier. I saw that this little monkey was clever, so I bestowed some opportunities upon it, originally planning to train it to become one of the third-tier great demons under my command after it completed its transformation tribulation.”
"After so much time, I never expected that this little monkey could evade multiple attacks by human cultivators and still be safe and sound. It's quite lucky."
Aoki Ocho seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and her words were tinged with melancholy and sadness.
"Young Lin, this little monkey's bloodline and aptitude are the best I have ever seen in my life. It's a pity he was born in the wrong place. If he is allowed to continue wandering in the Wanfeng Mountains, he will inevitably be killed or enslaved by humans sooner or later. This would be a great regret for my demon beast race."
Lin Changsheng sensed a hint of sadness in Qingmu Wangdie's words.
……
Not long after.
Under the relentless onslaught of the silver-haired white ape, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Shangqing Palace gradually could not hold on any longer.
Almost everyone was injured by the white ape's powerful physical strength.
This is even with those Shangqing Palace cultivators, each possessing high-level magical artifacts and secret techniques, and having numerous means of self-preservation.
Su Xuyan received special 'care' from the white ape, which even damaged her internal organs.
Fortunately, the woman activated a 'near-third-tier' defensive spell in time, which allowed her to continue to hold on.
Even so, it still couldn't hold out for long against the white ape's near-third-level body-refining power.
“Junior Sister Xiao, I almost killed this white ape back then, so it must be holding a grudge now. It has nothing to do with you. I will distract the white ape while you find a chance to escape.”
Seeing the near-third-tier defensive spell talisman gradually dimming under the repeated attacks of the white ape, Su Xuyan's face turned slightly pale, and she gritted her teeth as she gave instructions to her fellow disciples beside her.
"Senior Sister Su, you have already activated the emergency communication talisman to notify Senior Brother Song. Perhaps Senior Brother Song is already on his way. We just need to hold on for a moment."
Not far from Su Xuyan, another girl in purple robes spoke, her breath somewhat weak but her expression resolute.
Just then, a surge of magical energy suddenly emanated from the distant horizon.
It flew directly towards the arena where everyone was fighting.
(There will be another update tonight.)
