Chapter 2225: Chapter 2245 The Most Ruthless Immortal

The Goat Headed Beast went mad, launching a frenzied attack on Qi Wuchang.

Lin Chen and the others quickly retreated, and fortunately, the Serpentine Demon Beast did not break through the seal to give chase.

Lin Chen took out the specially carried Jade Box and placed the entire Void Lotus Herb inside it.

Looking at the Jade Box before him, Lin Chen looked towards the intense battle in the distance, feeling slightly hesitant in his heart.

Should he take this opportunity to make a run for it?

Qi Wuchang was fighting with the crazed Goat Headed Beast, making it the perfect opportunity for him to escape. If he fled now, he would be able to make a clean getaway.

After several seconds, Lin Chen made his decision.

He would not go.

The Void Lotus Herb was indeed precious, but Lin Chen was even keener on obtaining the Yin-Yang Spring.

With the Yin-Yang Spring, Lin Chen could treat the injuries of Lu Yao, the Daluo Initial Immortal. Once he recovered, Lin Chen would have the support of a top-notch and formidable ally. Wasn’t that better than a Void Lotus Herb that could promote someone’s cultivation level?

Although this Void Lotus Herb would surely end up in Qi Wuchang’s hands and not his own, as long as it remained unutilized, there might still be a chance for him.

Lin Chen hadn’t forgotten about his partner, Bai Yunfei from the Shenkong Sect.

As a Divine Thief, he must have some wonderful methods, right?

Otherwise, how could the Shenkong Sect have made such a formidable reputation, to the extent that even the Myriad Immortal Hall and the Twelve Immortal Sects held them in high regard?

After a series of violent exchanges that could have shattered the void, the battle finally subsided.

Qi Wuchang proudly stood in the Sky Dome while his opponent, the frenzied Goat Headed Demon, had its body directly blown apart, turning into a black cloud of blood fog.

"Whoosh!"

From beneath the white mist in the mountains and forests, a serpentine shadow shot up towards the sky like lightning, spewing out pitch-black venom at Qi Wuchang.

With just a glance from Qi Wuchang, space seemed to collapse. The body of the Serpentine Demon Beast instantly shattered piece by piece, falling straight down from midair.

Lin Chen watched this scene with surprise. The Serpentine Demon Beast and the Goat Headed Beast lived in the same cave, and with the Goat Headed Beast dead, the Serpentine Demon Beast attacked Qi Wuchang fearlessly. Was this its instinctual ferocity or an act of vengeance for the Goat Headed Beast?

Qi Wuchang appeared before the people in a flash, his eyes tinged with expectation, "The Void Lotus Herb?"

Lin Chen honestly handed over the Jade Box, feigning deep sorrow as he spoke, "This Void Lotus Herb grew beside a Water Pool. When we went to harvest it, the Serpentine Demon Beast suddenly sprang from the water, spraying venom. Junior Brother Qin was caught off-guard, hit directly by the venom, and he disintegrated..."

The Jade Box soared up, landing in Qi Wuchang’s hand. As he opened the box and glanced inside, joy quickly spread across his face.

Qi Wuchang casually closed the box, lifted his head, and with a neutral expression, he began, "He’s also made a sacrifice for the sect. When we get back, provide his family with some compensation... Let’s continue. Since the Void Lotus Herb has grown here, it indicates that the environment is suitable. We might find more elsewhere."

Lin Chen stole a glance at Qi Wuchang, knowing full well that he hadn’t taken the death of a disciple to heart. The talk of compensation and such was merely lip service to console the remaining disciples.

A Cave Void Disciple was gone just like that, and no one seemed to care!

Not just Qi Wuchang, but Lin Chen also failed to see any sign of grief on the faces of the other disciples.

Cultivators are the most ruthless of all!

The people continued on their way, searching close to the ground. The efficiency was not very high, and their search area for the day was not large.

Even though Qi Wuchang would preemptively slay the more powerful Magical Beasts, many unknown dangers lurked within this fog-enshrouded land. As the people searched, they faced continual, eerie attacks.

After seven or eight days of such searching, they found many valuable medicinal herbs, but no more Void Lotus Herbs.

One day, as the people were searching, a colossal boom sudden boomed from Between Heaven and Earth, as if the heavens were collapsing, accompanied by a fierce tremor.

Qi Wuchang vanished in a flash.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The booming continued, like divine retribution, and people exchanged glances of surprise and uncertainty.

"This must be a battle, right?"

"Definitely, and it sounds like the combatants are very strong. Most of them are probably Da Luo Venerables..."

"If there’s a battle, it usually means that some precious item has appeared, sparking a clash. The great-ancestor has already gone there, should we follow?"

Qi Bingbing hesitated, but ultimately couldn’t suppress her curiosity, "Let’s go have a look from a distance."

"Alright!"

Though somewhat fearful of the fierce battlefield, everyone cautiously approached it.

Following the sound, they flew for several hundred miles, and finally, they saw the battling parties.

A man and a woman were floating in mid-air. Judging by their Lawful Robes, the man was from Lingmiao Mountain, and the woman was from Baique Sect. They had been fiercely fighting but had stopped now, both turning to look at Qi Wuchang, who had been drawn by the battle.

Qi Wuchang clearly recognized the two of them. His gaze swept over both parties, then over the land below, "You two have been fighting so intensely, did you find something? Why not share what it is?"
