"Sect Master, these people are from the Nether Immortal Cave!" Big Black Cat recognized them at a glance from the attire these cultivators wore.
That day, although he was lying on the carriage, he had also witnessed the battle inside the Nether Immortal Cave between the Xuan bird and the cultivators of the Nether Immortal Cave, as well as the great war among the Dragon Clan ignited by the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon and the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon.
He thus had some understanding of these cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave.
The Nether Immortal Cave was one of the three Supreme Major Sects of the Underworld Heavenly Kingdom. Their strength was naturally incredibly formidable, and the Sect boasted several masters in the Life and Death Realm.
"So, it's the Nether Immortal Cave…" Mu Qing's expression shifted with realization. She had felt that their attire was familiar; after all, she had previously met Yu Long and his son from the Nether Immortal Cave.
Back then, when that father and son duo had arrived in the Heavenly Moon Dynasty, they had even contended with the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat for the Covert Dragon Coffin.
"We should follow Suibai. They probably… won't do anything to us." Luo Li's small face tensed, her expression serious as she quickly moved forward.
The six of them naturally couldn't compete with the hundreds of cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave. After all, almost all of their opponents were cultivators at the Destiny Realm; in terms of strength, they were far superior.
Fortunately, Suibai was present. These fellows probably wouldn't dare to be so reckless.
The group had only walked a few dozen meters when they found the surrounding atmosphere growing heavier and more dangerous.
The red-furred monsters stared at the six of them, their eyes glinting with murderous intent, yet they didn't move, as if Suibai's imposing presence still affected them.
When the cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave saw such a small, weak team approaching, anger filled their faces.
"Which sect do you belong to?" one of the cultivators could no longer hold back and abruptly blocked their path.
"We…"
Just as Luo Li uttered these two words, Big Black Cat hastily clasped his fists and interjected, "We are merely from a small sect, just passing through. We hope the esteemed cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave will show us some leniency!"
"Coming here is seeking death, isn't it? Go back immediately," the cultivator declared, waving a large sleeve, his expression stern.
Big Black Cat looked bitter. He hadn't expected his deliberate attempt to maintain a low profile to be met with such disdain.
But this place is indeed very dangerous, with so many red-furred monsters around. If a fight were to break out, they could only flee for their lives.
Suibai had already reached the small green tree. Turning around, she saw the cultivator from the Nether Immortal Cave blocking their way.
A sinister light shone in her eyes. Suibai reached out, flicked her hand lightly in the air, and the cultivator was sent flying.
Seeing Suibai suddenly take action, everyone was aghast. What did Suibai mean by this? Was she trying to help these six cultivators from a minor sect?
Seeing Suibai act, Big Black Cat felt his confidence swell. He looked at the cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave and said coldly, "Suibai has invited us. It would be best if you didn't block our path."
"Nonsense!" a cultivator from the Nether Immortal Cave roared in anger. "How could Suibai possibly protect you?!"
"Why don't you try blocking our path and see what happens?" Big Black Cat narrowed his eyes, glaring at him contemptuously.
These fellows, their sense of superiority is just too strong. Did they look down on us just because we're few in number and from a small sect? Couldn't we have powerful backing? Not only did they have powerful backing, but it was the most powerful backer in the entire Nether Immortal Cave—the most terrifying humanoid aberration, Suibai.
At this thought, Big Black Cat's spine straightened, and an expression of smug satisfaction spread across his face, full of provocation.
Unconvinced, that cultivator immediately stepped forward to block Luo Li and the others.
A sudden roar echoed.
The red-furred monsters trembled and abruptly fled.
SPLAT!
At the same time, Suibai gently pointed a finger. The cultivator blocking the path instantly exploded into a mist of blood.
"Did you see that? Anyone else who dares to block our path will suffer the same fate! Do you really think Suibai, her esteemed self, would spare you?" Big Black Cat burst into loud laughter.
All the cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave turned deathly pale, a cold sweat breaking out over their bodies. They had never dreamed that Suibai would actually protect these six insignificant little ones.
"Let's go!" The leading cultivator clenched his jaw, then decisively led everyone away from this place.
There was no other choice. Suibai was not someone they could afford to offend. Naturally, they were not fated to obtain the Divine Element Longevity Fruit on the Divine Longevity Tree.
Although they were resentful, it was better than losing their lives. There were many Divine Element Longevity Fruits in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land; they wouldn't miss these few.
After the cultivators from the Nether Immortal Cave disappeared, the six of them breathed a collective sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.
All dangers had thus been resolved.
Now, they could happily pick those three Thousand-year Divine Yuan Longevity Fruits.
The group approached the small green tree.
"Suibai, thank you!" Luo Li suddenly spoke, her face filled with gratitude.
"You're… welcome!" Suibai replied, her voice mechanical and hoarse.
Although the voice wasn't pleasant, for some reason, as it reached their ears, a sense of warmth spread through the hearts of the six.
In this eerie world of the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, the seemingly deranged Suibai was, ironically, the most humane aberration.
Big Black Cat walked up to the Little Tree, ready to pick the Divine Element Longevity Fruits.
These Divine Element Longevity Fruits were quite large. They emitted a refreshing, cool Super Divine Dragon Breath, rich with an unimaginable essence of life.
Big Black Cat inhaled deeply, an immense sense of comfort washing over his internal organs.
He reached out and began to pick the longevity fruits.
「Meanwhile.」
The mist in the distance roiled as a small team approached.
"A Nine-tailed Spirit Cat?"
The one leading the team was a Nine-tailed Fox Demon. She abruptly spotted a small green tree up ahead and, to her extreme annoyance, the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat she despised was squatting there, picking Divine Element Longevity Fruits with his hand.
The Nine-tailed Fox Demon's face contorted. How could that damnable Nine-tailed Spirit Cat be so lucky? He actually got here before her and found a Divine Longevity Tree!
"Seventh Sister, that looks like a Thousand-year Divine Yuan Longevity Fruit!" the red-clad beauty beside her exclaimed, her gaze fixed on the Divine Element Longevity Fruit in the distance, her expression one of intense excitement.
"Elder Sister, let's kill that Nine-tailed Spirit Cat and seize the Divine Element Longevity Fruit!" the Nine-tailed Fox Demon said through gritted teeth.
"Wait, why is there a red-furred aberration over there too?" The red-clad beauty suddenly noticed the "female Suibai"; its form, covered in long, two-toned red and black fur, immediately put her on alert.
A man walked over from behind them. His cultivation base was at Destiny Realm Level Nine, and his body exuded a potent Demonic Aura; he was clearly a powerful greater demon.
"That should be Suibai, right?" the man said nervously.
"How could it be Suibai? Aren't all Suibai male?" the Nine-tailed Fox Demon asked.
"I'm not sure either. But this humanoid aberration is clearly different from the red-furred monsters. The Super Divine Dragon Breath it emits is also of an indiscernible realm. Other than Suibai, it could be no one else," the man said in a deep voice after a moment of thought.
"Damn it! Are we really going to miss out on the Divine Element Longevity Fruit?" the Nine-tailed Fox Demon exclaimed angrily.
"We only have one life. It's better not to take unnecessary risks," the man said lightly.
"You Black Rock Monsters, are you all such cowards?" the Nine-tailed Fox Demon retorted, unable to contain her anger.
The man remained composed, scoffing, "If you want to go, then go. We're not going. We're here to help your Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan, but we don't want to lose our lives for nothing."
Hearing the man's words, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon stomped her foot in a fit of rage.
Although their voices were low, they still reached Suibai's ears.
WHOOSH!
Suibai glanced over. An invisible, immense pressure, like a towering mountain, instantly descended from the sky.
The several dozen individuals in the squad immediately felt a great terror wash over them. It was as if a massive mountain was crushing their bodies, rendering them completely immobile.
