Chapter 483 Hong Xiu’s Anxiety

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The proprietress and the others were also happy to fly in the sky. Although they were not affected by the terrain and thorns with their cultivation when they were walking in the forest, they were a little bored in the forest and far less comfortable than in the sky.

It was worth mentioning that after the Big Master’s death, the Killing Hands fell into an embarrassing situation without a leader. And because of the Big Master’s evil deeds, they became the target of public criticism. They were always under the cultivators’ angry and malicious gazes, and all of them were extremely anxious.

In this case, Qi Potian and Li Jian took the lead to ask Li Ye to be the Big Master of the Killing Hands.

Li Ye naturally agreed.

As a result, the two cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm, more than ten cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm, more than thirty cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm, and nearly a hundred cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage in the Killing Hands all became Li Ye’s personal property.

At this point, even though Li Ye couldn’t kill a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm, he, as the Big Master of the Killing Hands, was enough to be on an equal footing with Wei Weiwu and the other cultivators.

After Li Ye announced that he would be the Big Master of the Killing Hands, the members of the Killing Hands beamed with joy. Li Ye, the commander of the team, became their leader, so their status was different now. They were hated by all the cultivators previously, but now they were under Li Ye’s direct command.

The direct effect was that the cultivators no longer looked at them with murderous eyes and that some cultivators even began to talk with them cordially, like friends and relatives. Their attitudes changed so quickly that Wei Weiwu and the others were stunned.

The bearded cultivator was the most “considerate”. He warmly talked with a member of the Killing Hands with his arm around that person’s shoulder. “In fact, we know that your former Big Master’s evil deeds have little to do with you, but we have to avenge Prince An, so we can only stare at you. It’s great that you are aware of your mistakes, make amends, and are willing to work for His Highness. From now on, we are brothers!”

The members of the Killing Hands were not used to the sudden change in the cultivators’ attitude at the beginning. After listening to the bearded cultivator’s words, they were suddenly enlightened. They were very grateful for Li Ye’s willingness to be their Big Master. The cultivators, from the Qi-refining Stage to the Sky Immortal Realm, all strengthened their will to fight for Li Ye.

Flying in the sky, Li Ye could occasionally feel the fiery eyes with emotions, through the branches and leaves from the forest below. He was surprised and happy. He thought that the cultivators were really pure-hearted.

“They are worth teaching.”

The sparrow could fly very fast, but it stood on Li Ye’s shoulder at this time, and it raised its head and puffed out its chest along the way. It looked proud and arrogant.

“Elder Brother Ye, how many fierce beasts are there in the nest? Why are they all injured?” Duchess, who was on the proprietress’ back, turned her head to look at Li Ye and asked curiously.

Although Duchess was powerful in fighting, she lacked control over her body. Even when she chased after the enemy, she could only jump. If she flew in the air, she would fall in a minute, so she could only lie on the proprietress’ back.

The proprietress suffered a lot.

She was a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm. She was beautiful, mature, and enchanting. Even the Big Master couldn’t help being attracted by her. It could be seen that her dignity was not small. But now, she was ridden by Duchess. She was very wronged.

However, the proprietress didn’t look painful, and there was nothing unusual on her beautiful face. She seemed to be very happy. She probably treated Duchess as a child—it was okay for an adult to carry a child.

The proprietress was mild and did everything without complaint. She didn’t let down Li Ye’s original intention of letting her go with him.

Li Ye replied to Duchess’ question, “Quite a lot, about 3,000. Their cultivation is uneven, and the strongest one has the strength of Real Immortal Realm. I can’t find out whether there is a Great Power in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. After all, with such strength, if he deliberately hides his breath, I can’t sense it.”

“There are some familiar faces… I’m not familiar with them, but I can distinguish the wounds caused by my Sword Qi. So, if there is no accident, all the fierce beasts we repelled last night are healing their wounds there.”

Duchess held the proprietress’ neck tightly, tilted her small head, and blinked her big eyes. She continued to ask curiously, “But we didn’t repel so many fierce beasts. Even with the battle results of the cultivators above the Spiritual Master Realm, there were not so many.”

The number of the repelled fierce beasts was not the same as the number of injured ones. Many fierce beasts were repelled last night, but not many of them were seriously injured and needed to return to their nest to recuperate.

It was decided by the fierce beasts’ way of fighting. Even though they listened to someone’s orders to advance and retreat, they were not more intelligent than before. Once they fought, they wouldn’t stop until one side was dead.

Li Ye also thought about it previously. He replied, “There is only one explanation. The fierce beasts that had been wounded in other places also went there to recuperate.”Updates by vi p novel

The fierce beasts’ nest was more than 100 kilometers away from Liuxi Town as the crow flies, and it was very close to the hinterland of the Blackstone Ridge. More than one group of cultivators entered the mountain of the Blackstone Ridge. Therefore, if the fierce beasts that had fought against the other groups of cultivators also recuperated in the basin, then this matter would make sense.

Unlike cultivators, the fierce beasts that hadn’t developed spiritual intelligence couldn’t refine Dan Pills. Once they were seriously injured, it was not easy for them to recover. They could only rely on their strong resilience to slowly recover. This speed was certainly not comparable to that of the cultivators.

Duchess nodded to indicate that she understood. Then she waved her little fist as usual. “Elder Brother Ye, you’re awesome. If it weren’t for you, the team wouldn’t have such a good chance to attack them!”

Li Ye could only smile modestly.

However, Li Ye was not as optimistic as Duchess. After all, there were many cultivators of the demon clan in the fierce beasts’ nest. If he was right, the fierce beasts’ attack and retreat were well planned this time because these cultivators “commanded” behind the scenes.

If so, at least, this group of cultivators were not stupid—anyway, they were better than Wei Weiwu and the others at fighting. Then, it was difficult to deal with them.

As the team got closer to the fierce beasts’ nest, Li Ye could sense the faint smell of blood in the air with his cultivation realm. So he ordered the scouts to withdraw and the team to enter the state of stealth, meeting the enemy secretly. They were not allowed to speak loudly at the same time.

At this time, Li Ye found something unusual.

He clearly noticed that Hong Xiu’s mood was becoming anxious. Especially when they got closer to the fierce beasts’ nest, she was more anxious. Even her breathing rhythm was clearly affected and began to become disordered.

The nearby cultivators all had high cultivation, and many of them were in the Sky Immortal Realm. Obviously, Hong Xiu’s mood could not hide from their senses. Before she attracted more attention, Li Ye asked, “Miss Hong Xiu, what’s wrong with you?”

Hong Xiu covered her chest and frowned. “I don’t know. I just feel so flustered that I feel as if 10,000 ants are crawling in my heart. Something bad seems to be approaching. I can’t calm down no matter what.”

Li Ye frowned slightly. “What’s going on?”

In order to get more information, Li Ye continued to ask, “Are you hiding something? Does it have anything to do with the fierce beasts or the place we are going to?”

When in Liuxi Town, Li Ye wondered why so many cultivators coveted Hong Xiu. “Is it just because she is beautiful? Well, this reason is enough. After all, her charm is enough to cause the cultivators to lose their minds.”

“However, so many cultivators coveted Hong Xiu, but no one dared to grab her. The Big Master’s cultivation was in the Real Immortal Realm, while Hong Xiu’s was in the Sky Immortal Realm, and her real fighting ability was inferior to the proprietress’. What made him fear and not dare to use force?”

For Li Ye, Hong Xiu was like falling from the sky. Once she appeared, she was a stunner. And she was full of mystery—Li Ye knew little about her. Through these days of contact, he only knew that she was the daughter of the boss of the Zuixian Restaurant, and it was said that the boss of the Zuixian Restaurant had disappeared for a long time.

Moreover, when he was missing, his cultivation hadn’t reached the Immortal Realm, so he was not worthy of fear or attention.

“Your Highness, are you worried that I will cause trouble for everyone? I won’t.” Hong Xiu glanced at Li Ye sadly. Then she suppressed her anxiety by her cultivation, and nothing unusual could be seen on her face anymore.

Seeing her do this, Li Ye didn’t say anything more. It was like when in Liuxi Town, he didn’t stop Hong Xiu from entering the mountain with the Killing Hands. After all, nothing had happened, so he had no reason to go too far.

At dusk, the team came to the edge of the basin.

Li Ye ordered the cultivators to hide, rest, and prepare for the battle. Qi Potian, as a scout, came back and told Li Ye that everything in the basin was as it had been when they left.

Li Ye found Wei Weiwu and the other cultivators and arranged the battle plan with them. “There are about 3,000 fierce beasts in the basin, and most of them are injured. The strongest ones have the strength of the Real Immortal Realm, and there are about five. Besides, there are more than a hundred cultivators of the demon clan, and their cultivation is above the Spiritual Master Realm. Nearly half of them are in the Immortal Realm. I find out that there is one cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm and that he is the strongest.”Updates by vi p novel

After briefing the opponent’s strength, Li Ye began to talk about the battle plan. “In short, we have a chance, but they can also fight back. It’s hard to tell who will win. If we are careless, we will also suffer heavy losses.”

“So I intend to launch an attack from both inside and outside. I’ll lead an elite team to sneak into the center of the basin, create chaos, and respond to the team’s attack. When the battle begins, I’ll cooperate with the team to tear apart the enemy’s line of defense to ensure that the team’s attack will be unimpeded to the hinterland and win the general trend.”

“Your Highness, are you going to lead the team personally? Since there are six cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm in the nest, how many cultivators should we send in? If it’s too dangerous, you’d better not go personally,” said Wei Weiwu, touching his chin.

Li Ye shook his head. “I have to lead the team personally.”

He was really worried about letting other cultivators lead the team. This group of cultivators had no combat experience at all. Except for him, no one else could carry out this kind of elite surprise attack.

In addition, Li Ye’s real fighting ability was the most powerful in the team. It worked best that he went deep into the hinterland of the basin.

At last, Li Ye wanted to capture the leader of the cultivators in the basin to see who he was, why he had to cooperate with the fierce beasts, and why he could command them.

He was not afraid of accidents. After all, You Daxiao was still in the dark and could help him at any time.
