Chapter 1773: Chapter 396:
The Twin Immortal Swordswoman stood at the forefront of the trio, her expression exceedingly tense. Now that the Giant Beastkin were dead, what would happen next?
Would Ye Liangchen make a move against them?
The opponents could easily annihilate so many Giant Beastkin, let alone the three of them.
If the opponent were to make a move...
"Junior Brother, Junior Sister." The Twin Immortal Swordswoman suddenly lowered her voice, speaking in a quiet tone that only the three of them could hear, "If Ye Liangchen acts, ignore the other party. Just scatter in different directions and escape.
No matter how powerful the opponent may be, they cannot catch up with three people fleeing in different directions simultaneously."
As soon as her voice fell, Ye Liangchen’s voice came from the opposite side.
"What is it? Planning to run away? Don’t worry, I have no intention of killing you. If I truly wanted to make a move, I, Ye Liangchen, have a hundred ways to annihilate you."
Cao Zhen naturally uttered a phrase, quoting Ye Liangchen’s classic line, then pointed at the nearby ore vein and said, "Help me out and dig up the ore vein."
If he didn’t use Immortal Qi, mining alone would be troublesome. These three owed him their lives, so they should definitely help dig up the ore vein as a compensation.
Mining?
The trio was momentarily dumbfounded, but quickly they started to move, preparing to step forward and mine. Just as they took their first step, Ye Liangchen’s voice came again.
"Hold on..."
The three felt a sudden tension in their hearts, did the opponent change their mind?
"You should bandage your wounds and change your clothes first." Cao Zhen looked at the blood on the trio and kindly reminded them, then he too found a place to quickly treat his own wounds.
The trio’s wounds were fewer than his. When he returned, the trio had already nearly finished mining the ore vein.
After Cao Zhen joined in, the ore vein was soon extracted.
The Twin Immortal Swordswoman and the other two looked at the ore vein before them, which was over forty feet long, and each breathed heavily, their eyes inevitably revealing a fervent gaze.
This was a Seventh Grade Immortal Ore!
Over forty feet long, this was exceedingly long indeed. Such a length of Immortal Ore was more than sufficient as a main material for forging two Treasures.
If used as auxiliary material, there would be even more.
And this Immortal Ore originally belonged to them.
Cao Zhen was very satisfied as he stowed the Immortal Ore, a surprise gain, and a significant one.
The Twin Immortal Swordswoman sighed helplessly as she watched Ye Liangchen take the ore away. Circumstances were beyond her control; what could she do? The three of them were lucky enough just to survive.
Gazing at the man before her, she slightly bowed and said, "Taoist Ye, if there’s nothing else, we shall take our leave."
"No need to rush." Cao Zhen lightly waved his hand, looking at the trio, "There are too few of you. As you saw today, if you hadn’t met me, you’d either die at the hands of those from the Demonic Sect or at the hands of the Giant Beastkin.
Since we’ve encountered each other several times, it’s fate. Why don’t you join me as we travel together?"
This was an idea he had just formulated on the spur of the moment.
He’s certain that the changes in the River of All Realms are caused by the Demonic Lord Qing Shi, who is likely trying to force him into the open.
If he were to travel alone, even if he didn’t use Immortal Qi and simply fought with his physical body, it would still catch the attention of the Demonic Lord Qing Shi.
After all, his physical body was extraordinarily powerful.
And the ultimate goal of the Demonic Lord Qing Shi must be the Chaos Qi; wouldn’t he worry about him acquiring the Chaos Qi with such a strong body?
At that point, what if the Demonic Lord Qing Shi decides to act against him regardless of his ability to use Immortal Qi?
The Demonic Lord Qing Shi is a true existence within the Immortal Path Domain; how could he contend with that?
Therefore, what he needed to do now was to conceal himself.
Being too powerful alone easily draws attention, but what about four people?
Moreover, the Twin Immortal Swordswoman and her companions were from the All-encompassing Sect, and everyone knew that people from the All-encompassing Sect specialized in Body Tempering. With four members of the All-encompassing Sect, it would be reasonable to travel together while displaying immense combat power.
He wouldn’t need to wear the All-encompassing Sect’s attire; just by traveling with three members of the All-encompassing Sect, others would naturally assume he was one of them, thus providing his concealment.
The Twin Immortal Swordswoman was stunned; the other party wanted to travel with them?
Ye Liangchen was already so powerful; there was no need for him to be with them. As for what Ye Liangchen said about meeting multiple times being fate and wanting to help them, she didn’t believe a word of it.
This Ye Liangchen likely had another plot.
But she didn’t dare refuse.
Although Ye Liangchen wore a smile, the terrifying Evil Qi he displayed while slaughtering those Giant Beastkin earlier was undeniable; who knows how many people he had killed before?
If she refused, the next moment he might act against her.
She had no choice but to agree,
The Twin Immortal Swordswoman nodded slightly, squeezing out a smile and saying, "Since that’s the case, thank you, Taoist Ye."
Then, she paused for a moment and asked, "Taoist Ye, where do we go next?"
Where to go?
Cao Zhen didn’t know where they should go either.
The River of All Realms, while not having tens of thousands of rivers, certainly had several hundred explored areas. In such a vast region, he didn’t know where the Chaos Qi might be found.
