Chapter 316

"Where is Zhang Yong?" Xu Yang scanned the area and didn't see Zhang Yong's figure, thinking he had already been buried deep in the Yunling Mountain Range.

Jiang Ping sighed: "He was seriously injured and is still healing."

Sun Tao frowned: "How did you end up like this?"

He hadn't had time to ask Jiang Ping about the specific situation either.

Once these words were spoken, Xu Yang saw a look of lingering fear on Jiang Ping's face, and his body trembled faintly.

"We were unlucky. On the way to find the Phantom Leopard, we encountered a powerful exotic beast. I lost an arm, and Zhang Yong was almost beaten to death by that beast's tail.

That beast Li Qiang didn't care about our life or death at all, abandoned us both, and fled. If it weren't for the appearance of an even more terrifying exotic beast, we both wouldn't have been able to return."

Jiang Ping's voice trembled, still having lingering fears, but more of it was hatred for Li Qiang.

"That beast, you went to help him, and he abandoned you and fled." Sun Tao was furious when he heard this.

The two kept saying they were fellow disciples and would advance together, but he turned out to be such a person.

Jiang Ping showed regret: "It's a pity we didn't recognize the person and actually believed in such a pig or dog. Zhang Yong and I are still considered lucky; the other person he invited was beaten to death by him with one palm and thrown to the exotic beast to buy time for his escape. I don't know if that beast is dead or alive."

"Truly worse than a pig or dog!"

Sun Tao felt cold sweat on his back when he heard this.

If it weren't for Xiao Hua's threat that he didn't dare to leave the Profound Heaven Sect, this might have been his end.

Xu Yang's expression was calm; he had long known that Li Qiang wasn't a good thing.

He usually looked heroic, but it was just a deliberate disguise. When life was at stake, he was definitely a vicious wolf that ate people without spitting out the bones; otherwise, he wouldn't have begged them, these new disciples, for help with the inner sect assessment mission.

"What kind of exotic beast did you encounter that you had no power to fight back?" Xu Yang frowned.

He knew the Yunling Mountain Range was dangerous, but it wasn't full of powerful exotic beasts everywhere.

Jiang Ping said with lingering fear: "The first one was comparable to Marrow Cleansing, and as for how strong the second one was, I don't know at all. It was taller than a house and swallowed the exotic beast comparable to a Marrow Cleansing martial artist in one bite.

Zhang Yong and I crawled on the ground like ants under its fierce power. Fortunately, it seemed to look down on us; after swallowing that exotic beast, it stepped on the forest and left."

Later that evening, Xu Yang met Zhang Yong.

However, unlike Jiang Ping, who was almost scared out of his wits, although he was injured, his eyes were bright, and there was a faint sharp light flickering.

Although they almost didn't return, Xu Yang knew they still had a great harvest, picking many valuable medicinal materials. After handing them over to the sect, it seemed each person was allocated over a hundred contribution points.

This was the charm of the Yunling Mountain Range; although dangerous, there were many treasures.

As long as you dared to take risks, you would have some harvest.

Of course, it was mainly that Jiang Ping was considered crippled, while Zhang Yong's injury, although more serious, didn't affect his martial arts foundation and could recover in ten days or half a month.

The two greeted each other simply and went back to doing their own things.

It was hard to say who was right or wrong in such matters; every year, so many people from the Profound Heaven Sect were buried in the Yunling Mountain Range, but people still followed one after another.

This day, Xu Yang woke up from his bed, looking forward to the panel with great anticipation.

【Wind-Breaking Fist Minor Success, points +5】

【Drizzle Startling Wind Sword Minor Success, points +5】

【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 407】

Yesterday, he brought the Wind-Breaking Fist and Drizzle Startling Wind Sword to Minor Success, finally gathering enough points to add the Origin-Gathering Pill.

As usual, he added one point to his longevity to ensure his body was always at its peak, and he immediately climbed out of bed.

"Add the Origin-Gathering Pill for me."

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately added four hundred points to the Origin-Gathering Pill.
