After tidying up, he finally checked the storage rings or storage pouches of those guys.
These guys had been working together for quite a while and should have killed a few human cultivators; he saw items from at least three people.
Of course, whether it was the human cultivators who were killed or the medicinal herbs accumulated by these guys, they all became his spoils of war at this moment.
After destroying the bodies and counting the spoils, he immediately left the place.
Following the talisman's guidance, he walked more than ten miles, with the grass and trees gradually becoming sparse. In his senses, the forest ahead was gradually disappearing.
Just when he thought he was about to enter a place with buildings, Shen Wang saw a demon king fiercely attacking a human figure.
"Bitch, I see you're a poison, such a deadly one!"
A nimble figure was madly attacking Mo Lan.
Although blocking most of the attacks, Mo Lan still looked very disheveled, with some wounds from sharp claws on her body, and her clothes in tatters. Her protective magical treasure also appeared in a broken state.
In the midst of the attacks, Mo Lan kept trying to break free, but whenever she managed to create some distance, she was caught up again.
And when she tried to counterattack, she couldn't hit the opponent at all.
After Shen Wang appeared beside them, he watched the demon king attacking Mo Lan.
It was a monkey, covered in gray-yellow fur, not very tall, only about three feet high, but its movements were extremely nimble, with fast and fierce attacks, sharp teeth, and a menacing look.
Shen Wang frowned slightly upon seeing this.
If he didn't expose his real strength, he wasn't a match for this Monkey King.
But if he wanted to help this woman, he had to expose his strength. He needed to think it over.
Was it worth helping?
"Bitch, hand over the antidote, or I will kill you!"
The Monkey King shouted angrily. The thinking Shen Wang's eyes brightened as he carefully observed and found a black aura indeed present between its eyebrows.
Previously, due to the monkey's abundant fur and its relatively high cultivation level, it wasn't easy for Shen Wang to notice the poison's effects, which was not deeply rooted yet.
"Since this guy is poisoned, then if I intervene, it shouldn't be much of a problem. As long as the poison continues to erupt, even if I can't kill it, driving it away should be feasible."
Shen Wang thought to himself, glancing into the distance where there were over a dozen demon beast corpses, all poisoned.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, landing a hundred yards away.
Beyond his previously restricted perception range, there was a peach grove.
There were over a hundred trees, varying in height.
But it was clear that the peach tree at the center was the oldest, while those at the edges were younger.
The ones on the periphery seemed to be only a few hundred years old, but towards the center, they were over a thousand years old, with the most central tree appearing extraordinary, like a giant tree, exceeding a hundred meters in height.
Outside, he had never seen such a tall peach tree.
Unfortunately, there were no fruits on the central peach tree, nor on the circle of peach trees on the outside.
However, on the third circle of peach trees, there was one tree with three fruits left, and the most crucial thing was that these few fruits glowed with spiritual light at a glance, clearly no ordinary produce.
Although some peaches were growing on the outer trees, they were far inferior to those on this tree.
Moreover, he felt that this peach tree was no ordinary tree, exuding a spiritual aura, and the closer to the center, the more intense the peach wood's spirituality, inherently gathering concentrated Spiritual Qi.
Shen Wang realized that this should be a Spirit Wood Level peach tree, different from ordinary trees, with inherently higher capabilities.
After so many years of growth, even if those fruits were disregarded, this peach tree itself could serve as refining materials.
Thousand-Year Peach Wood could be used as materials for a magical artifact, possessing exorcism attributes. The Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood here could even be crafted into a magical treasure.
"Was it the monkey who first discovered the peach tree, or was it Mo Lan?"
Shen Wang's eyes flickered as he approached the peach grove.
He wasn't in a rush to help but headed straight for the peach grove.
Finally encountering Spirit Wood, even if he couldn't eat the peaches, he should at least chop off a piece of Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood for use.
"Who's there?"
The ears of the Monkey King attacking Mo Lan twitched, surprisingly noticing Shen Wang passing by.
The monkey waved its hand, and a stone shot towards Shen Wang's path, forcing him to halt and evade.
"Shen Wang, what are you doing? Aren't you coming to help me?"
Seeing that Shen Wang was the one arriving and not ambushing the Monkey King but heading to the peach grove, Mo Lan got extremely aggravated.
"Lady, you keep him occupied for a while; I'll pick the peaches, chop some peach wood, and then I'll come deal with him."
Shen Wang chuckled awkwardly, "Don't worry, I'll give you half when the time comes."
Mo Lan rolled her eyes, "Wishful thinking, those peaches aren't so easy to pick. The peach grove is protected by an array. Help me deal with this monkey first, and we'll break the array together."
"I know I can break the array. You hold him off first."
Shen Wang didn't want to reveal too much strength, planning to grab the benefits first.
"Boy, you're delusional!"
The Monkey King glared murderously at Shen Wang, "If you dare go over, I'll kill you immediately!"
"You can try."
Shen Wang stepped outside the peach grove, instantly blocked by a layer of red glow.
This was the array here, probably initially meant to protect the peach grove.
Just as Shen Wang intended to break the array, a powerful gust appeared behind him. Without hesitation, he swung his blade backward, using the Spiritual Essence diluted with mana and the Black Death Saber Technique divine technique.
Clang!
Shen Wang's blade hit metal, accompanied by a great force, forcing him to turn around and dodge.
A monkey wielding an iron club retracted its smashing posture, coldly staring at him.
Shen Wang was surprised, glancing at this monkey and then at the one attacking Mo Lan.
How were these two guys exactly the same?
"This guy has the bloodline of the Six-Eared Macaque and seems to have mimicked a type of clone divine ability, able to use its mana to form a clone. If you don't deal with this clone, forget about picking peaches."
Mo Lan sneered.
"Six-Eared Macaque, I didn't expect you'd have such talent."
Shen Wang was quite surprised.
The Six-Eared Macaque was a very formidable type of demon beast, one of the Four Great Spiritual Monkeys, with the ability to know the universe's laws and alter reality.
Even if this guy wasn't a pure Six-Eared Macaque, possessing even a little of its bloodline meant significant prowess.
For instance, the opponent using this mana clone technique was quite remarkable; it was Shen Wang's first time seeing someone at the Golden Core level using a clone.
Based on some information he had, most cultivators practicing clone techniques were Nascent Soul cultivators, making it the first time he saw anyone at the Golden Core level.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, scram for this peach isn't something you can lay your hands on!"
The Monkey King's clone bared its teeth to intimidate Shen Wang.
"I also have to tell you, while I may look like I'm at Foundation Establishment, my strength can easily contend with an ordinary Golden Core opponent."
Shen Wang wasn't intimidated, speaking coldly, "Come on, let me see how powerful this mana clone of yours is. I wonder how much of your true strength it retains."
His blade emitted a clear vibration, and he leapt up, striking out with his saber.
"Courting death, my king's clone can kill you too!"
The Monkey King's clone was enraged, swinging its iron club at the Black Death Blade. With a clang, the Monkey King clone couldn't strike down Shen Wang and instead stepped back half a step.
"Seems like it retains about half the strength of the true body, not bad for a clone technique."
Shen Wang assessed the combat capability through the opponent's response.
This mana clone probably had half the combat strength of the true body, which was already considered a formidable divine technique, especially when calling upon help could easily determine victory in a tough fight.
"Shen Wang, find a way to destroy his clone. It will consume a significant portion of his mana!"
Mo Lan reminded.
"Alright, I'll help you deplete his mana a bit."
Shen Wang readily agreed, his eyes flashing coldly. The blade light swept out like a storm, filled with murderous intent, frenziedly chopping forward.
Clang clang clang!
The iron club and Black Death Blade repeatedly clashed. The Monkey King clone was overwhelmed by the evil aura, unable to hold on for long before being slashed by a blade across its body.
Shen Wang felt as if he had cut through air; the blade easily sliced through. The Monkey King clone didn't bleed or break bones but rather had a part of its body missing, appearing somewhat illusory.
"Without the support of flesh and blood, merely a transformation of mana, nothing more than an aerial mirage."
Shen Wang commented, letting out his full force into one chop, as if the Descent of the Evil God had arrived.
With a thunderous roar, his blade directly shattered the mana clone.
