Chapter 1363: Chapter 1363: Fight? Or Leave?

As Fang Bai and the three others conversed by the side of Linghu Lake, numerous warriors who came to the lake seeking treasure gradually gathered towards them.

Under the cover of night, the warriors appeared as a dense mass, numbering at least a thousand, among whom were many Innate Experts.

The looks in those warriors’ eyes revealed envy, jealousy, greed, and fanaticism, like hungry wolves under a moonlit night, ready to pounce on Fang Bai and his companions at any moment.

Just now, Fang Bai had rushed out from the lake bottom, using the Ink Jade Sword to slay a Perfect Innate Expert and scare off Zu Hanjiao and others, this caused great shock among the watching warriors, while also making them conclude that the Ink Jade Sword in Fang Bai’s hand might very well have been obtained from the Martial Artist Remnants at the bottom of Linghu Lake.

For over a hundred years, countless warriors have flocked to the bank of Linghu Lake, searching for the legendary Martial Artist Remnants, yet no one has been able to find them.

But now, with Fang Bai emerging carrying what likely was a treasure from the Martial Artist Remnants, how could those warriors who had searched Linghu Lake in vain for days not feel envious and jealous?

Many warriors in this world are sometimes willing to pay any price to fight or grab a treasure for cultivation, even wagering their own lives.

Though Fang Bai had just killed a Perfect Innate Expert with a single strike, displaying great power, it also stirred covetousness among those warriors.

In their eyes, if Fang Bai found the Martial Artist Remnants at the lake bottom, he surely obtained more than just a formidable Spiritual Artifact; there must be other treasures too.

"How could the treasure at the lake bottom be left for him alone to take?"

Thousands of warriors thought with reddened eyes.

However, those warriors were self-aware, knowing that in a solo fight, they were definitely not a match for Fang Bai. Thus, though everyone craved the treasure Fang Bai acquired, no one dared approach him at the moment.

"Those people have thoughts of seizing but lack the courage! Ha..."

Fang Bai watched the nearby warriors whose eyes were burning with desire, sneered aloud.

"It’s not wise to stay here long, we better leave quickly!"

Wu De, feeling uneasy being stared by a thousand eyes, urged softly.

"Let’s go!"

Li Chenzhou agreed.

"Go? Ha... Afraid there are people who don’t want us to leave!"

Fang Bai’s gaze fell on an elder among the distant crowd, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The elder wore a purple robe, had a slightly chubby physique, round face with small eyes, and a face full of healthy-red glow, looking like a shrewd businessman who prospers through friendliness.

Fang Bai paid attention to this person because, not only did he possess the aura of a Perfect Innate Expert, but this aura was similar to Zu Hanjiao and others from before.

This implied that the purple-robed elder practiced the same cultivation techniques as Zu Hanjiao and his group, likely being in league with them.

While Zu Hanjiao and others fled, this person remained, and upon careful thought, Fang Bai understood the reason behind it.

The purple-robed elder, seemingly hearing the conversation between Wu De and others, knew they wanted to leave. His eyes shone brilliantly, stepping forward, he waved his arm mightily, and said in a loud voice: "We have a crowd of a thousand, with nearly a hundred Innate Experts among us. If we join forces, why should we fear those four? Anyone with guts, come at me, if we slay those four, the treasures will be shared equally, I will not break my word!"

His words caused an immediate commotion among the thousand warriors.

Fang Bai’s group of four, though having two Perfect Innate Experts, the other two were not of concern.

While they had a thousand warriors, with nearly a hundred Innate Experts, if they truly joined forces, Fang Bai’s group did not stand a chance, and escape would be impossible.

With the elder in purple taking the lead, other warriors gained courage. Some Innate Experts, each holding a Spiritual Artifact, stood by the elder’s side and began to slowly press forward towards Fang Bai’s group.

"They intend to overwhelm with numbers? How shameless! How utterly brazen!"

Seeing warriors like a tidal wave pouring in from east, west, and north, Wu De felt a bit faint-hearted and cursed loudly.

The swarm of a thousand warriors was indeed intimidating, making Xia Chenyu’s heart hang high, she unconsciously edged closer to Fang Bai’s side.

"Fight or retreat?"

Li Chenzhou’s face showed no worry as he turned to ask Fang Bai.

In Li Chenzhou’s view, though the opponents were many, the strongest among them was just a Perfect Innate Expert, and both Fang Bai and himself could manifest the True Essence Wings. If they wanted to leave, no one could stop them.

"Getting entangled with these people is meaningless... we’re heading to Spirit Lake City to settle the score with Zu Hanjiao!"

As Fang Bai spoke, he wrapped his arm around Xia Chenyu’s slender waist, manifesting True Yuan Wind Wings behind him. With a strong beat of his wings, he ascended into the sky, taking Xia Chenyu directly towards the heavens.

"Let’s go too!"

Li Chenzhou also manifested Wind Wings, grabbing Wu De by the collar and flying upwards, following after Fang Bai.

"This guy! Actually pulling Taoist Master’s collar... Damn it!"

Wu De was grabbed by Li Chenzhou and flown through the air, feeling utterly uncomfortable, yet dared not voice his displeasure, fearing that Li Chenzhou might let go in anger and drop him.

With Wu De’s current cultivation level, he could not manifest True Yuan Wings for flight; should he be dropped from a thousand meters up, he would be severely injured, if not killed.

"They are fleeing towards Spirit Lake City! Anybody who wants the treasure, follow me in pursuit!"

The elder in purple looked upwards as Fang Bai’s group disappeared into the distant sky, stomped his foot in frustration, and then also manifested True Yuan Wings, flying in the direction of Spirit Lake City.

The remaining near-thousand warriors, holding Spiritual Artifacts, rallied their friends and charged towards Spirit Lake City with fervor.

Unable to manifest True Yuan Wings due to their lack of Perfect Innate cultivation, they could only rely on their legs to head to Spirit Lake City, exerting all their strength, each fearing that falling behind would cost them their share of the treasures.

In the deep night of Spirit Lake City, there was no trace of anyone in the streets and alleys, appearing exceptionally quiet. Tens of thousands of warriors either resting their minds or concentrating on cultivation, creating a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the daytime.

The "Yuezhi Inn" situated at the center of Spirit Lake City was ordinarily more serene than other places, but as Zu Hanjiao and his four companions descended from the sky, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense.

Standing in front of the inn’s rear-most, antique-style stone house was where Zu Hanjiao resided.

Zu Hanjiao landed nimbly in front of the stone house and let out a soft whistle.

Whiz!

Whiz!

Whiz!

...

Within just a few breaths, the sound of clothes fluttering through the air kept echoing as dozens of black-robed warriors shot in from all directions, gathering around the stone house.

The cultivation levels of these black-robed warriors were all within the Innate Realm, ranging from the initial to High Rank Innate stages.

"A strong enemy is about to invade, everyone prepare for battle! Listen well, anyone who can slay the enemy will be assisted by me to advance to Perfect Innate Realm!"

Zu Hanjiao’s gaze swept over the dozens of Innate Experts around, her words came out in a sweet voice.

These Innate Experts, being limited by their own aptitude, had reached a bottleneck in their cultivation. Advancing to the Perfect Innate Realm was a dream for all of them, and now Zu Hanjiao gave them hope, so naturally, their eyes shone brightly, and their spirits were lifted.
