After Zhu Zhuqing came into contact with this new cultivation method, it was like a new World had opened up for her, making her unable to stop and completely immersed in cultivation, reaching a state of self-forgetfulness.
Ye Liangchen sat beside her, watching Xiao Maomi's quiet demeanor, and also began to prepare to cultivate the Refining Spirit Art. Currently, his Refining Spirit Art had almost reached the fourth level. His divine soul perception had also expanded to beyond a thousand meters. Once he cultivated to the fifth level, he would be able to directly launch divine soul attacks.
He sat cross-legged, with his four gates closed, all external connections undisturbed, his mind focused, calmly meditating, and his divine soul spreading out to all corners of the valley.
"Buzz buzz…"
At this moment, Ye Liangchen felt as if his soul had left his body. Every flower, every blade of grass, and every tree in the entire valley was within his mind. Even an ant could not escape his perception.
"Pop…"
Suddenly, Ye Liangchen felt that some kind of restriction in his soul seemed to have been broken. His soul instantly became stronger, and the range of his divine soul perception expanded again. The cultivation of the Deity Forging Art officially entered the fourth level.
"Swish swish…"
Just then, Ye Liangchen's divine soul detected six strong individuals intruding two kilometers away. This discovery immediately startled Ye Liangchen.
"Who could it be?"
He quickly got up, activated his external Spirit Bone flying skill, and quietly flew towards the outside of the valley.
Ye Liangchen did not wake Zhu Zhuqing. After all, with her amateur skills, following him would only be a hindrance.
A few minutes later, Ye Liangchen flew to a few hundred meters away from those strong individuals. He quietly flew to a hundred-meter-tall tree, hid among its dense leaves, then took out a telescope to observe the strong individuals. At the same time, he released his divine soul, concentrated his energy, and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"We've been searching for two days, and we still haven't found that Little girl from the Zhu Family and the young man mentioned by the Crown Prince's Consort."
"Judging from the wounds of the Crown Prince's Consort's guards, they were all killed by a copper metal object. We don't know how that young man did it, to instantly kill a Spirit King strong individual with a tiny copper metal particle. Could it be some kind of special weapon?"
"Weapon? What kind of weapon can instantly kill a Spirit King? According to the Crown Prince's Consort, that young man only had a sword in his hand at the time, no other weapons."
"If that's true, then that young man is too terrifying. To instantly kill a Spirit King with just a copper metal object, what kind of skill is that?"
"I don't know. Anyway, everyone needs to be careful. But that young man is also bold enough to dare to kill someone from our Star Luo Royal Family."
These six strong individuals were from the Star Luo Royal Family. When Zhu Zhuyun fled back to the Star Luo Empire and told Dai Weisi about this matter, he was immediately startled and quickly mobilized his forces to investigate this matter in the Border Mountains.
The high-ranking members of the Zhu Family also attached great importance to this matter and sent a Spirit Emperor strong individual from their family. The main reason the Zhu Family sent someone was because they heard Zhu Zhuyun say that Zhu Zhuqing had an extremely good relationship with that unfamiliar young man. This greatly shocked the Zhu Family. One must know that Zhu Zhuqing had a marriage engagement with the Imperial Young Prince Dai Mubai. Publicly befriending other men like this, wasn't this a slap to the face of the Imperial Dai Family? As a member of the Imperial Family, how could they tolerate such an insult?
The leaders of this expedition were two Spirit Emperors, one from the Dai Family and one from the Zhu Family. The remaining four were all Spirit Kings. Besides investigating this matter, they were also responsible for capturing Zhu Zhuqing and that young man.
Everyone was also very curious how the Little girl from the Zhu Family came to know such an outstanding young man who could instantly kill five strong individuals above Spirit Ancestor, including a Spirit King strong individual. Such strength was simply too terrifying.
On the other side, Ye Liangchen, with his powerful divine soul, learned the identities of these people from their conversation.
"These guys are actually from the Dai Family and Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire. I didn't expect them to come and investigate the previous incident. It must be that Zhu Zhuyun reported this matter to the higher-ups after fleeing back."
"These people are here, so it's definitely not good news. But it's not a big problem. This big brother is a cheater, so no matter who comes, it won't work."
Ye Liangchen didn't take these people to heart at all. As long as they dared to scheme against him, even if the Star Luo Emperor came, he would still eliminate him.
So Ye Liangchen directly took out the King of Chicken Dinner HK416, set it on a tree branch, transformed into a hunter, and prepared to finish off these strong individuals from the Star Luo Empire.
He would eliminate the opponent in this silent manner, maintaining his mystique, to create pressure on the Star Luo Royal Family, making them understand a principle: no matter what strong individuals they sent, it would be useless.
Just then, Ye Liangchen noticed the other party sprinting towards the small valley. If they discovered Xiao Maomi, it would be troublesome.
"Hunting time begins."
"Click…"
Ye Liangchen immediately pulled the trigger and shot one of the black-clad strong individuals. That guy seemed to be the strongest.
"Pfft…"
The bullet, traveling at supersonic speed, pierced through the black-clad strong individual, causing him to instantly collapse to the ground. He didn't even have time to scream before he died.
"Who?"
"Come out quickly."
The sudden change made the remaining five strong individuals feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. A high-level Spirit Emperor strong individual was instantly killed like that, his body even pierced through. What kind of power was this?
"Buzz buzz…"
The five strong individuals immediately released their Spirits, standing ready for battle. Among them were five Spirit Kings and one Spirit Emperor. The few of them spread their powerful spirit power in all directions.
"Who exactly are you, Your Excellency? Please do not be an enemy of our Star Luo Royal Family."
At this moment, the Spirit Emperor strong individual with the White Tiger Spirit spoke, even bringing up his Imperial Family status to warn the other party.
"Pfft… Ah…"
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body seemed to be hit by something, directly slamming into a large tree behind him, letting out a scream, and then dying.
"Who exactly did Zhu Zhuyun provoke?"
With the two Spirit Emperors dead, the remaining four Spirit Kings immediately panicked.
"We don't even know the opponent's strength, yet Crown Prince still told us to capture the Little girl from the Zhu Family and that young man. Isn't this sending us to our deaths?"
The two strongest Spirit Emperors were silently instantly killed. With their Spirit King cultivation, how could they possibly withstand it?
"Retreat quickly. This matter is beyond our capabilities. We must inform Crown Prince immediately."
"Pfft… Ah!"
Just then, the Spirit King who was speaking also fell. The remaining three immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, breaking out in cold sweat, their legs involuntarily trembling.
"Who? Who exactly is it? Come out quickly!"
Unknown fear is the most terrifying. At this moment, they were like little lambs waiting to be slaughtered, already targeted by the hunter. They were immensely terrified, breaking out in cold sweat, constantly shouting loudly in all directions to bolster their courage.
Ye Liangchen, from a distance on the big tree, looked through the scope at the other party shouting, thinking that letting Zhu Zhuyun go back then indeed left behind trouble.
"Sending these guys to Heaven can be considered a warning to the Star Luo Royal Family, making them retreat in the face of difficulty. If they don't know what's good for them and dare to trouble me again, I'll find an opportunity to infiltrate the Star Luo Empire later and directly use the Barrett MK22 to snipe the Star Luo Empire's Emperor, Dai Tianfeng, ending the Dai Family dynasty prematurely."
"To put it in my second uncle's domineering words: many people in this World are arranged by fate, but I arrange fate."
Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen quickly pulled the trigger, sending the remaining few Spirit Kings to the Western Paradise, unable to let them return to the Star Luo Empire to report.
"Pfft… Pfft… Pfft"
"Ah ah ah…"
Under the powerful lethality of the King of Chicken Dinner HK416, the three Spirit Kings had no resistance whatsoever, and their game ended directly.
"If one is not ruthless, one cannot stand firm. Coming to this cruel World, being merciful to enemies is being cruel to oneself."
From the moment he walked out of the Tianshui Academy gate, Ye Liangchen was already prepared to deal with all invading enemies.
With the enemies dealt with, Ye Liangchen reloaded six bullets into the King of Chicken Dinner's magazine, then put it into his game backpack, and quickly flew towards the valley.
From discovering the Star Luo Royal Family strong individuals to eliminating them, it only took about ten minutes.
With a weapon in hand, there's no panic in his heart. With one shot in hand, the World is his.
This feeling of ambushing is much more satisfying than those flashy fights.
If the enemies hadn't surpassed Spirit King cultivation, Ye Liangchen would have intended to use his Spirit to deal with them, but since there were Spirit Emperor strong individuals, he could only use the big killer.
When Ye Liangchen returned to the valley, he found that Xiao Maomi was still cultivating. At this moment, her face was covered with a layer of grayish-black substance. It seemed that the Foundation Establishment Golden Elixir had already cleansed her marrow and hair.
"Xiao Maomi, stop practicing for now."
Ye Liangchen woke Zhu Zhuqing, who was cultivating, then quickly packed up the tent. They couldn't stay here any longer.
He didn't tell Xiao Maomi about the Star Luo Royal Family coming to capture him, so as not to cause her unnecessary trouble.
"Chen Ge, are we leaving here?"
Zhu Zhuqing woke up from her cultivation and saw Ye Liangchen packing up the tent, so she immediately ran over to help.
"Yes! We have to leave this place."
"You don't need to help. Go take a bath over there quickly. You reek."
Ye Liangchen took out a mirror and covered his nose with one hand, letting Zhu Zhuqing look at her face.
"Ah! Chen Ge, how did I become like this? I smell so bad!"
Zhu Zhuqing saw her pitch-black face in the mirror and was immediately frightened, turning pale. A strong, sour smell also came from her body, making her even more scared, thinking there was something wrong with her body.
"The Mystic Ascension Pill has expelled the impurities from your body. Go quickly and wash in the pond over there. Be quick."
"I'm telling you, the Mystic Ascension Pill has helped expel the impurities from your body and also made your skin better and better."
Ye Liangchen explained this phenomenon to Zhu Zhuqing, so she wouldn't be startled.
"So that's it. Thank you, Chen Ge."
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing heard that this pill could also beautify, she was overjoyed and immediately ran towards the distant pond.
"Plop…"
Zhu Zhuqing hid behind a large rock, removed her clothes, and then jumped into the water to wash away the impurities on her body.
Ten minutes later, after Zhu Zhuqing finished washing, she changed into new clothes, took out her mirror, and found that her skin had indeed become better.
"Chen Ge was right. My skin really has gotten better."
"If Chen Ge were to sell this kind of pill, it would definitely make women all over the continent go crazy."
Women are naturally beautiful. Every woman hopes to be beautiful forever. This is their nature, and Zhu Zhuqing, as a woman, is no exception.
Zhu Zhuqing calmed her emotions, took graceful strides with her long, slender legs, using the Profound Movement steps, and walked towards Ye Liangchen's location.
"Chen Ge, where are we going?"
Zhu Zhuqing charmingly ran up to Ye Liangchen, helping him pack up the tent and kitchenware.
"Nuoding City."
Ye Liangchen's main purpose in going to Nuoding City this time was to scheme for the Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bone. Knowing such a treasure existed, if he didn't take it, he would be struck by lightning.
"Nuoding City is on the edge of the Heaven Dou Empire, bordering the Star Luo Empire. Many merchants from our Star Luo Empire also do business in Nuoding City."
As a member of the Zhu Family from the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing also had some understanding of Nuoding City in Fasinuo Province.
"Indeed. Although Nuoding City is small, it is very prosperous. Zhuqing, we should have a good look around this time."
"However, your current attire is too conspicuous. If you encounter people from the Star Luo Empire, they will easily recognize you as someone from the Zhu Family. To be safe, change out of your black clothes and wear mine for now to manage the situation."
"Remember to put away your tail and the cat ear headpiece on your head."
Ye Liangchen reached out and touched the headpiece on Xiao Maomi's head, remembering the Star Luo Empire strong individuals he had just sniped. So he suggested that this Little girl disguise herself and took out his clothes from his spirit tool, asking her to change.
Ye Liangchen was also speechless about Xiao Maomi's attire. She wore a black tight-fitting leather outfit all year round. Didn't she feel uncomfortable? Wouldn't it bulge when she farted?
"Chen Ge, did the Star Luo Empire send people?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Liangchen's serious expression and knew that there must be something fishy about this matter.
"Don't think too much. Let's leave here first." Ye Liangchen rubbed Xiao Maomi's little head, telling her not to overthink.
"Okay! I'll follow Chen Ge's arrangements."
Zhu Zhuqing took the clothes from Ye Liangchen's hand, ran behind a large rock in the distance, took off her distinctive tight-fitting black clothes, quickly changed into Ye Liangchen's white clothes, then took off the two ear ornaments on her head, and tied up her silky long hair with a hair tie.
"Oh my goodness! I'm actually wearing Chen Ge's clothes."
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's face was slightly red, and she had a unique feeling in her heart. She quickly took out her mirror and looked at herself in this outfit, feeling that she looked very good.
Calming her emotions, Zhu Zhuqing quickly ran towards Ye Liangchen and then saw him put on a transparent mask, pinching his face, and transforming into another handsome young man.
"Chen Ge, this is too magical, isn't it?"
Zhu Zhuqing came up to Ye Liangchen and reached out to touch his face, feeling as if it were real.
"We are not strong enough yet. When we are out, we must always be careful. This is the Dream Mask that Aunt Lan gave me, it's very good for disguising."
Living in a cruel alien World, before he became strong, he naturally had to lie low and develop cautiously, that was the way to go.
"You look like a graceful young master in this outfit. Put on the bamboo hat to cover your beautiful face."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing in men's clothing, with a handsome beauty, Ye Liangchen placed the bamboo hat on her head, making her look less conspicuous.
"Thank you, Chen Ge."
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing heard Ye Liangchen praise her beauty, a smile appeared on her face, and she felt very comfortable in her heart.
"Let's go!"
Ye Liangchen called Xiao Maomi to follow him and left the valley.
Zhu Zhuqing looked back at the valley, remembering this place. Although she had only lived here for five days, it was the happiest time she had experienced in many years.
