Chapter 134: Diverting the Disaster, Finding that Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator to be the Scapegoat

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

At this very moment, within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Numerous Cultivators were fleeing in a panic, scrambling without a path, while behind them they were being hunted by many Monster Beasts.

Among them were no shortage of Second-tier Monster Beasts.

They were all Cultivators from the Shen Family, the Mu Family, and the Xiao Family; some were at the Foundation Establishment stage, others at the Qi Refining stage.

Yet, facing such a massive hunt by Monster Beasts, they were like stray dogs.

If they were even a step late, they would be torn to shreds by these Monster Beasts, leaving nothing behind.

After all, the number of these Monster Beasts was too great, numbering in the hundreds or thousands.

"Damn it, that Third-tier Monster Beast, the King Kong Ape King, in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is actually the guardian Divine Beast of Wanliu Zhenren." Shen Family Elder Shen Sheng's expression was ugly to the extreme.

Their plan this time had originally been very smooth.

They had gathered over a dozen Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, spent over a month, and because the Cave Abode's Forbidden Array had fallen into disrepair, they had finally managed to crack the Forbidden Array.

Just as they entered the Cave Abode, intending to loot the Treasures left behind by Wanliu Zhenren, they never expected to disturb the Third-tier Monster Beast of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the King Kong Ape King.

This Third-tier Monster Beast had been a Spirit Beast raised by Wanliu Zhenren in the past.

Although Wanliu Zhenren was already dead, as a Spirit Beast, its lifespan was very long, and it was still alive today.

It was even growing increasingly powerful, now comparable to a Cultivator at Golden Core Perfection.

It had sensed that its Master's Cave Abode was being invaded by outsiders, and naturally, it was furious.

Therefore, it led a large group of Monster Beasts to kill them directly.

The result was predictable; the Cultivators of these three great families, as well as the many Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, immediately suffered a thunderous blow.

Half of the people were killed or injured on the spot.

In the end, Shen Sheng and the others detonated the Cave Abode's Array, causing terrifying destruction, and only then managed to barely block the pursuit of the Third-tier Monster Beast.

But even so, that King Kong Ape King was still in hot pursuit.

If they were caught, they would undoubtedly die.

"I cannot die, I absolutely cannot die."

"I have hopes of reaching the Golden Core stage; how could I possibly die in a place like this?"

Shen Family Elder Shen Sheng's expression was ferocious.

To tell the truth, their entry into Wanliu Zhenren's Cave Abode this time had indeed yielded a great harvest.

Not only did they obtain Wanliu Zhenren's legacy techniques, but they also obtained many Treasures left behind by Wanliu Zhenren.

Among them was a bottle of the Third-tier Pill, the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill.

This type of Pill was a Golden Core Spirit Medicine, capable of helping a Cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection increase their chance of forming a Golden Core by thirty percent.

Its level of preciousness was simply beyond imagination.

If a single Golden Liquid Jade Return Pill were to appear in the outside world, it would likely trigger a war between Golden Core sects.

Yet here, there was an entire bottle, containing at least three Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills.

Therefore, if he could leave alive, he would have a fifty or sixty percent chance of becoming a Golden Core Real Person and gaining five hundred years of Longevity.

Thus, no matter what, he had to escape with his life; this was the opportunity for him to attain the Dao.

The problem was, now a large number of Monster Beasts were in hot pursuit, and the King Kong Ape King was watching them like a tiger eyeing its prey.

He truly had nowhere to escape.

"Right, the Foundation Establishment female Cultivator, and that female Cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection."

"This woman's combat power is quite extraordinary; she was actually able to kill the Cloud Mist Four Devils in an instant."

"If I can borrow this woman's strength, or use this woman as a scapegoat."

"To help me block the Third-tier Monster Beast, the King Kong Ape King, then perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope."

Suddenly, Shen Family Elder Shen Sheng thought of the mysterious Foundation Establishment female Cultivator in that valley, and his heart was instantly ecstatic, feeling as if he had found his final straw to clutch at.

He wanted to divert the disaster to someone else.

He didn't care whether his actions would offend the other party; in any case, as long as he could survive, that was enough.

Moreover, his relationship with the other party wasn't particularly good to begin with.

Perhaps he had already offended her to death last time.

It was the perfect opportunity to use a borrowed knife to kill.

By then, not only would he be able to eliminate a strong enemy, but he would also be able to use her to block the King Kong Ape King and save his own life.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Thinking of this, Shen Family Elder Shen Sheng led a large group of Cultivators and ran toward the valley where Zhou Sui and the others were located.

"Elder, we've arrived, we've arrived; ahead is the valley where that Foundation Establishment female Cultivator is."

A Shen Family Cultivator shouted in ecstasy.

"But there is still a First-tier Defensive Array there; what should we do?"

Another Cultivator asked.

"Daoist Zhou, Daoist Zhou, help, help, there are Monster Beasts outside hunting us down."

"Please quickly open the Array and let us in."

"If we can escape with our lives, we will definitely repay you in the future."

Shen Family Elder Shen Sheng shouted loudly, sinking his Qi into his dantian, forming a rolling wave of sound, hoping that the people inside the Array could hear what he said and open the Array to let him in.

However, the valley remained deathly silent, with no movement, and there was no reply for a long time.

"Elder, those bastards are ignoring us."

A Shen Family Cultivator's expression was extremely ugly.

Clearly, the other party not answering meant they had refused their request for refuge.

Thinking about it carefully, this was also a very normal thing.

After all, they were being hunted by numerous Monster Beasts; if they sheltered them, wouldn't that be inviting trouble upon themselves?

If they encountered such people, they would naturally refuse without the slightest hesitation.

The problem was that now the ones suffering were themselves, so they could not tolerate it.

"Damn it, those bastards, and to think we treated them so well usually, often trading Treasure with them; they actually refuse to save us at a critical moment. If only we had known these guys weren't good people."

A Mu Family Cultivator cursed loudly, his face full of resentment.

He had forgotten, however, that it was clearly he who had diverted the disaster, attempting to find the other party to take the blame.

Now he had started complaining that the other party refused to save them.

One can only say that some people are born ingrates who can never be tamed.

"Charge in."

Shen Family Elder Shen Sheng was becoming increasingly anxious; he sensed the aura of the Monster Beasts behind him drawing closer, and if they did not act now, they would be caught.

So he did not waste words at all, immediately striking out, bombarding the First-tier Array of the valley.

Boom~~~

With just a single strike, the First-tier Array covering the valley was instantly destroyed.

Inside, rows of simple stone houses were immediately revealed.

But apart from these simple houses, the surroundings were empty; the place was already deserted.

"It's over, Daoist Zhou and the others have already run away; they aren't here at all."

Seeing this scene, many Cultivators turned pale with fright.

They had originally wanted to find people to help them take the blame and hold off the Third-tier Monster Beast, the Diamond Ape King.

But who could have imagined that there was simply no one here.

The Cultivators inside the valley had long since vanished without a trace.

Rumble~~~

At this moment, a large group of Second-tier Monster Beasts arrived rapidly, and behind them, the tall figure of the Third-tier Monster Beast, the Diamond Ape King, also loomed in the sky, looking down from above and radiating a peerless, ferocious might.

"It's over, those few wretches have ruined me."

Seeing this scene, Shen Family Elder Shen Sheng turned pale with fright, feeling incomparably desperate, and regretting it to the extreme.

If they had fled in all directions just now instead of coming to find that Foundation Establishment female Cultivator to be their scapegoat, perhaps there would have been a glimmer of hope.

But it was precisely this delay that caused their golden opportunity to escape to be completely lost.
