Chapter 482: Wuyuan Lake

"This is very normal. Patrol deacon, as the name implies, originally had the meaning of patrolling and hunting in all directions. This Iron-Backed Gray Ape is very cunning and difficult to deal with, and it often gathers monkey groups to harass mortals. Local cultivation families have besieged it several times without success, and the market deacon guarding this area couldn't solve it quickly, so it was reported to the palace." The young man replied with a light laugh.

"So that's it. It seems that this kind of demon beast harassing mortals is not uncommon in the Chaotic Spirit Domain." Wang Yu said thoughtfully.

"Yes, to tell the truth, although the Chaotic Spirit Domain is nominally occupied by our human race, in reality, there are still many demon beasts in the wilderness, especially some demon beasts with very short breeding periods. They are killed wave after wave, but they can never be completely cleaned up.

Mortal cities under the major cultivation forces are fine; ordinary demon beasts don't dare to provoke them easily. But mortal gathering places of some small forces are not having a good time because the stationed cultivators are insufficient, and demon beasts will emerge from time to time to harass them.

Although our Bishui Palace tries its best to let the mortal forces under our command arm mortals, you have also seen that ordinary mortal guards are okay against some ordinary beasts, but as long as the demon beast enters the rank, it is simply not something that mortal power can contend with. Only when we cultivators take action can it be solved." The Yan-surnamed young man said with some helplessness.

"But as far as I know, some 'experts' in mortals who are proficient in martial arts also seem to be able to fight some low-rank demon beasts." Wang Yu pondered for a while and replied.

"What Fellow Daoist Wang said are just some 'exceptions' among mortals. This kind of person is actually negligible relative to the huge mortal group.

Not only our Bishui Palace, but the Mo Jian Men and Linggui Sect are also looking for ways to improve the martial power of mortals, not asking mortals to be able to fight medium and high-rank demon beasts, but at least to have a certain ability to protect themselves when facing low-rank demon beasts, which can greatly alleviate the big problem of our human race's lack of low-rank combat power." The Yan-surnamed young man explained.

"In the Chaotic Spirit Domain, is our human Qi Refinement cultivator quantity really that lacking?" Wang Yu was somewhat surprised.

"I don't know much about the situation of Qi Refinement cultivators in the Southern Continent, but in the Chaotic Spirit Domain and even the entire Eastern Wasteland, compared to the number of low-rank demon beasts, Qi Refinement cultivators are indeed greatly lacking.

Not to mention the distant ones, let's talk about the decisive battle when the three sects occupied the Chaotic Spirit Domain.

At the top level, although that fourth-rank Snow Wolf King was incredibly powerful and even once able to contend with three Nascent Soul great powers, it was always in a suppressed state.

At the high level, our three sects' dozens of Golden Core cultivators faced the Snow Wolf clan's third-rank demon clan and the dozen or so third-rank demon beasts under them, and they could also fight back and forth, generally in a stalemate state.

Only in the middle and lower levels, our Bishui Palace's three sects mobilized over fifty thousand Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment disciples, plus three or four thousand rogue cultivators, but they had to face demon beast groups of over one million, among which the number of ranked demon beasts was over one hundred thousand.

If it weren't for the fact that our side had many more Foundation Establishment cultivators than second-rank demon beasts and had set up several formations in advance, I fear we would have been swallowed by the terrifying number of demon beast groups in one encounter.

If it weren't for the three Nascent Soul great powers joining forces to kill the Snow Wolf King in advance and extracting their hands to kill most of the beast groups with great supernatural powers, even if we won this battle, our three sects' Qi Refinement disciples wouldn't have survived many." The young man told a lot in one breath, as if he had witnessed that great battle with his own eyes.

This made Wang Yu shocked, and he couldn't help but ask again:

"Fellow Daoist Yan, hearing you tell it so detailedly, could it be that you witnessed this battle?"

Although he didn't know how old the other party was, no matter how he thought about it, it couldn't be over a hundred years old.

"Hehe, I really witnessed that key great battle." The Yan-surnamed young man chuckled, carrying a hint of mystery.

This naturally startled Wang Yu, but before he could inquire carefully, those few Qi Refinement cultivators below had already gathered the two-section corpse of the black giant ape, packed it into a leather bag, and then the fourth-level Qi Refinement man who used the talisman sword first carried it and flew up toward the bone boat.

"Junior Ning Zhen, pays respects to the two seniors. We have already packed up the demon ape corpse, and specifically sent it to the two seniors." The Qi Refinement man said respectfully to the two.

"This demon ape was slain by Fellow Daoist Wang. Give the things to Fellow Daoist Wang." The Yan-surnamed young man pointed at Wang Yu and said lightly.

"Yes."

This man named Ning Zhen immediately offered the leather bag with both hands.

Wang Yu didn't stand on ceremony. He pressed his hand to the storage bag at his waist, and a piece of rosy light sprayed out, sweeping over the leather bag in Ning Zhen's hand, and then the leather bag disappeared without a trace.

"Do the two seniors have any other orders? As long as the junior can do it, I will definitely do it." Ning Zhen asked respectfully again.

"Since you are the Ning family kid, go back and tell your family head that since you asked me, Yan Lingxiang, to solve this demon beast, the spirit stones the Ning family hands over to Bishui Palace this year must be increased by 30%, and it will return to normal next year." The young man gave an order without ceremony.

"So it is Senior Yan of Bishui Palace. The junior will definitely tell the family head." Ning Zhen was startled upon hearing this, bowed again, and then flew down automatically.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, let's continue on the road. The next place to stay for a while is 'Wuyuan Lake,' where it is said that a second-rank fish demon that has just advanced has appeared. We will solve it on the way." The Yan-surnamed young man said to Wang Yu very 'sincerely.'

Wang Yu was somewhat speechless.

This Bishui Palace Foundation Establishment deacon seemed to treat him as a free thug.

However, he finally knew the other party's full name.

'Yan Lingxiang,' this name sounded somewhat extraordinary.

Over half a month later.

Above a large lake covering over ten miles, three flying boats hovered in the air.

The largest of the flying boats was two floors high and was actually a wooden storied boat.

On the highest platform of the storied boat, three figures stood there, looking down at the lake.

Two young men, one in yellow robe and one in blue robe, were exactly Wang Yu and Yan Lingxiang.

The third person was a big man with a face full of rough short beards, empty-handed, but carrying a pale yellow wooden box on his back.

The other two ordinary flying boats were below the storied boat, each with several figures standing on them, pouring buckets of bright red beast blood into the lake, making the lake surface bright red, and at the same time, the fishy smell was pungent.

"Fellow Daoist Sima, you spent a lot of money to lure this fish demon out. This many second-rank beast blood is probably enough to buy several bottles of second-rank cultivation pills." Yan Lingxiang glanced at the big man with short beards and said with a smile that was not a smile.

Wang Yu looked at the blood-red lake surface, his face showing a hint of interest.

"Brother Yan is joking. My Sima family doesn't bleed at this time, when will we bleed? Just because this second-rank demon fish is making trouble, my Sima family's spirit fish farm has had no harvest for over half a year." The big man with short beards replied with gritted teeth. ===== CHAPTER 483 =====

"Brother Yan, you are joking. If my Sima family doesn't bleed at a time like this, when would we? Just because this second-rank fish demon has been causing trouble, my Sima family's spirit fish farm hasn't had any harvest for over half a year," the short-bearded man replied, gritting his teeth.
