Chapter 537: 537
In the midst of a mountain gorge somewhere, there were multiple plots of herb fields, stretching as far as the eye could see .
A three story tall and several hundred meters wide structure could be found in the very center of the herb fields .
This mountain gorge was surrounded on all sides by mountains which towered into the clouds . If one stretched their necks out and looked upwards, they would still not be able to see how high these mountains reached .
The Ling Qi in the mountain gorge was extremely dense, and there was a huge spirit vein running beneath it . The herb fields were neat and well tended to, and countless stalks of spirit herbs of unknown age swayed gently in the wind .
Waves of intoxicating fragrance wafted through the air as they moved .
Several hundred Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts roamed the herb fields, taking care of the spirit herbs . There were ten huge caves in the mountain gorge, their depths so black one could not see the end of any of them .
"Boom! Boom!"
Muffled bangs just like thunder rang out from within the caves, accompanied by rushes of violent wind .
Everytime the booming sounds rang out, the Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts nearby would cower slightly in fear as if there was something terrifying inside the caves .
"Teacher, we've already investigated the situation here . Most of the Demonic Beast Kings have moved to the center of Hundred Break Mountain Range, only leaving one Demonic Beast King," a youth clad in cloud-patterned robes reported respectfully . His aura was extremely heavy, indicative of the Thousand Year King realm cultivation .
An old man dressed in Daoist robes with purple golden hair crown laughed as he exclaimed with delight, "Haha, excellent, it's been a full 20 years since I've discovered this place! Finally, a great chance like most of the Demonic Beast Kings leaving is here!"
He was Su Yun Zhong, an elder of the Ten Extremes Sect . His strength was extremely great, having already reached the Eight level of the Thousand Year King realm!
20 years ago, Su Yun Zhong discovered this place by chance . However, sensing the dangerous auras here, he didn't dare to barge in .
The natural treasures in this place were so enticing that Su Yun Zhong could hardly contain his drool upon seeing them . Each of the spirit herbs here was of great age and incredibly valuable . They were even valuable to Thousand Year Kings .
He'd sent the juniors of his sect to keep an eye on this place, but who would have thought that things would drag on for 20 years just like that . Just as Su Yun Zhong was about to give up and call those disciples back, there was actually news that most of the dangerous Demonic Beasts had left!
"Huang Lin, your contributions this time are the greatest, it's been hard on you all these years . " Su Yun Zhong sighed as he looked at the tall youth beside him .
"To be able to be of service to Teacher is this disciple's duty, this disciple does not dare to claim credit . "
Huang Lin lowered his head deeply as a cold light flashed across his eyes .
"After this matter is over, I'll use my best abilities to help you break through to a higher level!"
Su Yun Zhong had a complicated expression on his face . This disciple was extremely loyal to him . Back when they first came here, everyone knew that it would be an extremely tough task to stay here and watch over these Demonic Beasts, and that it would be incredibly difficult to extricate themselves from the job . Yet, Huang Lin still accepted it without any hesitation .
In the blink of an eye, 20 years had gone by . In this 20 years, Huang Lin, who had the highest cultivation among the fellow disciples at that time, had all been surpassed by his junior brothers and sisters . Right now, he was only a Second level Thousand Year King . Even the few disciples who hadn't broken through to the Thousand Year King realm 20 years ago had surpassed him now .
"Senior Brother, it's been hard on you all these years . " A pleasant sounding voice rang out, coming from the mouth of a 20-something years old girl .
When he heard this voice, Huang Lin's shoulder trembled lightly . Lifting his head, he looked at her and replied hoarsely, "Junior Sister…"
"It's been hard on Senior Brother, staying in this god-forsaken place for 20 years . You didn't even get to drink my wedding wine with Xin Yi; after we return, Junior Brother must have a good drink with Senior Brother!" Without waiting for Huang Lin to reply, a chilly aura rippled out as a viper-like youth stepped out and wrapped his arms around Su Xin Yi's waist .
"Congratulations, Junior Brother . " All of Huang Lin's earlier emotions disappeared as he replied in a calm manner . Not saying anything more, he stood behind Su Yun Zhong .
Huang Lin's nails had already dug deeply into his palms, etching a deep imprint in his skin .
There were only seven people here, and even the weakest were in the Thousand Year King realm . All of them were disciples under Su Yun Zhong's care .
Not far away in this mountain gorge, a Demonic Beast was bulldozing its way through the forest . Even the trees that towered into the skies were smashed into splinters by the force rippling in front of the beast's charge while it was still tens of meters away . A red-colored rabbit about two meters tall stood above is head .
The closer they got to the mountain gorge, the more excited the gangster rabbit became as it hopped about on top of the Demonic Beast's head .
The fragrance of numerous spirit herbs filled this area; even though it was blocked on all sides by tall mountains, the smell still spread outwards .
But the strange thing was that despite advancing for such a long time, not a single Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast appeared within a distance of 500 li . As for the Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts in the area, they might as well not have noticed the smell of the spirit herbs .
As the terrain grew rougher, the Demonic Beast that the gangster rabbit was riding on also began to slow down, focusing on not creating too much noise and commotion .
The closer they got, the denser the Ling Qi concentration as well as a powerful deathly aura became!
At the foot of the mountain, wisps of grayish-black mist could be seen floating in the air . This was the Death Qi that only formed when there was a large amount of the dead!
