The pill melted in his mouth!
The Saintess and the tribal elders of the Wu Gu tribe were all excited. They were not unfamiliar with pills, as their tribe, besides witchcraft and Gu arts, also had some research into alchemy. However, the healing pills refined by their alchemists were nothing compared to Yang Feilong's!
Initially, the Saintess and others worried that Yang Feilong seemed to have no cultivation, and they were unsure if he could keep up with them, but they didn't dare to ask directly.
However, they soon realized their worries were unfounded!
"Your speed is a bit slow!" Yang Feilong said to the Saintess, "Qingxue, take the Saintess to the first level!"
"Yes!" Murong Qingxue replied.
Among them, Yang Feilong was the strongest, followed by Murong Qingxue, who was also the fastest.
The Saintess was not very strong. In terms of ancient martial arts classification, her cultivation was only at the Heavenly Martial Realm. Given her age, in her early twenties, this level of cultivation was already considered exceptionally talented.
Among the tribal elders, one was at the Innate level, and the others were at the Venerable Martial Realm.
Indeed, the Wu Gu tribe surprisingly had an existence at the Innate level. Yang Feilong was somewhat surprised at first but quickly understood.
The Wu Gu tribe, unlike ancient martial arts, Qi refining, or superpower cultivation, was a more niche path. Although niche, their research in this area was deep. Furthermore, the Wu Gu tribe rarely intermarried with outsiders to maintain the purity of their bloodline. Thus, there were actually quite a few cultivators in the Wu Gu tribe specializing in Wu Gu arts.
Even in the secular world, it was quite normal for some Innate level existences to emerge!
Yes, cultivators of the Wu Gu tribe who reached the second great realm were also known as Innate. However, there were suffixes, such as Innate Witch, Innate Gu Master, or an Innate Wu Gu Master who cultivated both. The Saintess was a Wu Gu Master at the peak of the Seventh Level of the Acquired realm!
Because of dual cultivation of Wu and Gu, her combat power was comparable to some at the Venerable Martial Realm!
The reason for their previous disheveled state was that some of the Wu Gu tribe's methods had little killing power against these demonic beasts, which was quite frustrating.
The main issue was that demonic beasts, unless they reached a certain level, relied on instinct in combat. Many Wu Gu methods targeted the soul or were poisons. Soul-targeting methods would agitate the demonic beasts, causing them to go berserk, which would increase their combat power. This yielded no benefits and brought many drawbacks. Poisons could have some effect, but the beasts had massive bodies and often consumed various poisonous mushrooms and plants, giving them strong resistance to toxins. Thus, ancient poison arts were also not very effective. Then came the Gu arts, but many Gu were also not very useful. These demonic beasts contained demonic energy. Gu worms were also a type of 'demon,' and they really couldn't contend with demonic beasts.
The Saintess felt quite uncomfortable. Initially, she thought Yang Feilong was just an ordinary person and worried he wouldn't be able to keep up. Now, she was the one falling behind, which was rather embarrassing.
Along the way, the Saintess introduced herself as Wu Lan Xiu Wei. She also learned the names of Yang Feilong and the others.
As the group was nearing the Wu Gu tribe, they began encountering a massive number of demonic beasts.
Keep in mind that although they had encountered some demonic beasts during their journey, it was nothing compared to this.
"So many demonic beasts!" Yang Feilong gasped. According to Saintess Wu Lan Xiu Wei, they were still more than ten kilometers away from the Wu Gu tribe. To encounter so many demonic beasts at this distance, what awaited them later?
"There are more demonic beasts than before!" Wu Lan Xiu Wei said with a look of terror, "Can my tribesmen still hold on?"
Yang Feilong's expression was extremely grave. Wu Lan Xiu Wei and the others had only been gone for a few hours, and the number of demonic beasts had increased so much. This indicated one thing: the passage between the demon realm and the mortal realm had completely opened.
If it hadn't opened, the number of demonic beasts wouldn't have increased so dramatically in such a short period!
"If we don't find the demon passage and seal it, the demons will only grow in number, and their strength will also increase!" Yang Feilong said solemnly.
"What should we do?" Wu Lan Xiu Wei's face was filled with terror and shock.
Everyone else's expression also changed.
The demons from the demon realm were endless. After all, it was one of the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
Its tier was far higher than the mortal realm. The mortal realm was just one of billions of small worlds. Even the Spirit Realm couldn't compare to the Three Thousand Worlds; the gap was immense!
However, it was fortunate that the passage connecting the demon realm to the mortal realm was not very large, and the demons entering were restricted in strength. Of course, no one present knew how strong "not too strong" really was, as there were too many Innate level demonic beasts visible to the naked eye!
"Qingxue, you protect everyone and lead them to the great formation of the Wu Gu tribe. I'm afraid that if you're not strong enough, the formation won't last long. I will go find the demon passage and seal it first!" Yang Feilong said sternly.
"Ah? That's too dangerous! There are too many demons!" Wu Lan Xiu Wei's face changed, and she said repeatedly.
"Alright!" Murong Qingxue, however, agreed.
The next moment, Murong Qingxue raised her greatsword and slashed out. It was as if she had cleaved a river. Wherever this river impacted, demonic beasts were killed on the spot!
"This..." Wu Lan Xiu Wei was stunned on the spot.
"So strong?" The tribal elders of the Wu Gu tribe, who had been very worried, were now filled with surprise and joy. "Could this young lady have reached the Golden Core realm?"
If she hadn't reached the Golden Core realm, her cultivation shouldn't be so incredible!
Killing so many demonic beasts with one sword, including Innate level demonic beasts, it was unreasonable if she wasn't Golden Core.
However, assuming she was Golden Core only made them more shocked, because reaching the Golden Core realm in the mortal world was extremely difficult, almost unheard of!
The next moment, everyone witnessed an even more shocking scene, especially Wu Lan Xiu Wei.
Yang Feilong also made his move. He swung his sword across the sky, like a torrential downpour covering an area. In the area he covered, demonic beasts were utterly pulverized and destroyed, unable to die any further!
"This..." Wu Lan Xiu Wei swallowed her saliva. At this moment, she completely understood why this man could have several exceptionally beautiful women willingly serving him.
His age was comparable to hers, yet he was already at the Golden Core realm?
An Innate realm cultivator wouldn't have such power to instantly kill over a hundred demonic beasts, more than ten of which were at the Innate level.
Moreover, his destructive power far surpassed that of the woman who brought her here.
Earlier, she had worried about Yang Feilong's safety, but now she didn't. With such immense power, those demons were just cannon fodder. If he could seal the demon passage, and with no continuous influx of demons, then with just the demonic beasts in the Wu Long Mountains, not only could the Wu Gu tribe's crisis be resolved, but ordinary people in the mortal world would also be spared from the disaster of terrifying beast tides!
"Is this a gift from heaven to save our Wu Gu tribe?" The tribal elders of the Wu Gu tribe were so overjoyed they almost wept.
One of them was almost enough to resolve their crisis, and there was another even more powerful one.
