Free Web NovelChapter 1232: Chapter 1223: Hu Disappears
Boom!
The injured Yu Ling had just reacted when he heard another loud bang.
The crowd that was so aggressive just now, now only the severely injured Yu Ling and the death-like-faced Ouyang Jinjie remained.
The rest couldn’t bear it. Some had already fainted, while others were left wailing in agony, wishing they were dead.
"Sigh! I warned you, why didn’t you listen?"
Yang Yan weighed the small ball in his hand and looked playfully at the few remaining people in the scene, a mocking cold smile tugging at his lips.
This smile, like a cat playing with a mouse, scared several people to their core.
Seeing Yang Yan’s posture, if he were to give them another one, there probably wouldn’t be a single survivor!
However, Yang Yan was reluctant to waste the treasure in his hand.
If not for the overwhelming number of opponents earlier, he wouldn’t have used it so easily.
After all, this thing is hard to come by and can be vital at critical moments.
"You... how can you condense Evil Qi!" Ouyang Jinjie looked at Yang Yan in horror, trembling all over, even stuttering.
"At King Yama’s place, perhaps you’ll find the answer!" Murderous intent exuded from Yang Yan, each syllable fluttering like flying knives.
But just as he was about to strike, he casually glanced at the napping Void-Devouring Tiger, not helping but slightly lifting the corner of his mouth.
His figure flashed, and he instantly teleported beside Guoguo, grabbing the napping Void-Devouring Tiger and tossing it toward Ouyang Jinjie’s group.
"Hu, it’s up to you now."
Yang Yan waved his hand, and the murderous intent in his eyes slightly diminished.
"Yan, I’m not done with you... Ah!"
The Void-Devouring Tiger charged at Ouyang Jinjie’s group like mad, and the certainty of death suddenly gave them hope again.
They were also once heavenly talents, how could they fear a little tiger cub?!
However, upon contact with Hu, they realized the terror of the little tiger cub before them!
After several rounds, the group died in terror, truly shocking Ye Changqing, Lin Zimu, and Guo Guoguo.
Ouyang Jinjie and Yu Ling were both at the peak strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although they had been greatly exhausted in their previous battle with Yang Yan, and Yu Ling was severely injured, killing them wouldn’t be so easy.
But the bloody reality was right before their eyes, leaving Ye Changqing no choice but to believe.
Yet, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but lament the deaths of Ouyang Jinjie and Yu Ling.
No one expected that these two stellar figures would become mere targets for the little tiger cub to vent its anger with just a single encounter.
Bright throughout half their lives, yet dying so humiliatingly, it’s truly sad and lamentable.
Just as the two were stunned, Hu was furious, letting out several long roars, shocking everyone.
If it were before, Hu would be relentless, but the current situation was not the time to dwell on such trivial matters.
It wisely ground its teeth, fiercely glared at Yang Yan, and lazily jumped onto Guoguo’s shoulder to nap.
Yang Yan shrugged, then spoke worriedly, "With Ouyang Jinjie and Yu Ling dead, Yizheng Sect and Lingying Sect surely won’t let this go."
"Although no one else knows besides us, they will surely point fingers at us, even if aware it wasn’t our doing."
"However, the time isn’t ripe yet. It’s not time to fall out with them. For now, we should clean up this mess."
Then, Yang Yan turned to look at Ye Changqing, leaving him at a loss and quickly said:
"Don’t worry, Yang. Our Pill Sect is involved as well. Moreover, strictly speaking, this matter was caused by us. We lost over a dozen disciples, and we are sworn enemies now! So, regardless of the outcome, we will stand on the same side as Ancient Abyss Sect."
Yang Yan smiled, gently saluting the other party, "With your words, Ye, that’s enough. But, I didn’t mean that."
"Oh, then what are your insights, Yang?" Ye Changqing was puzzled by Yang Yan’s words and asked with doubt.
Yang Yan smiled and explained, "Actually, I just wanted to use your Life Spirit Flame to clean up the battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Ye Changqing snapped out of it.
It turned out Yang Yan wanted to use the Life Spirit Flame within him to deal with these bodies.
"However, we need to collect some interest beforehand, otherwise it’s too lenient on them."
Yang Yan finished speaking, then walked toward Ouyang Jinjie and Yu Ling’s corpses.
As expected, with just a simple search, he obtained two Space Rings.
After checking them in his palm, Yang Yan’s face rarely showed a smile.
Yang Yan wasn’t very interested in the Space Artifacts on the other corpses either.
Even though a sparrow is small, it’s still meat, naturally, he wouldn’t let them go.
After the group collected all the spoils, Ye Changqing mobilized his Life Spirit Flame to completely erase all traces.
Guoguo cried tears again.
After all, losing so many fellow disciples, claiming not to be sad would be false.
Yang Yan looked at the gradually disappearing bodies before him, his eyes gleaming coldly, silently determined in his heart to make Yizheng Sect and Lingying Sect pay a bloody price in the future.
After a wave of sadness, everyone collected their emotions and quietly assisted the severely injured Lin Zimu, quickly leaving this troublesome place.
Along the way, Yang Yan disclosed all his encounters over the past few days to the group.
His experiences truly shocked everyone.
If not from Yang Yan’s mouth, no one would dare believe it.
Especially the identity of the Void-Devouring Tiger, it made everyone marvel endlessly.
At the same time, everyone became more interested and filled with longing about what was inside the Demon Cave.
Although the Demon Cave is dangerous, entering it is a risky endeavor. But risks and opportunity coexist.
The group hurried to a canyon, found a cave, organized it slightly, and began meditating to recover quickly.
After all, no one knows what will happen next.
Even with Yang Yan and the Void-Devouring Tiger beside them, no one wants to become a burden.
Among them, Lin Zimu was seriously injured. Although he hadn’t worsened under Ye Changqing’s medicinal care, it couldn’t be delayed further.
Fortunately, Ye Changqing was there, allowing Lin Zimu to receive timely treatment.
Yang Yan felt more at ease and brought Guoguo and Si Jian outside the cave to check the situation.
It wasn’t until much later that Yang Yan realized the Void-Devouring Tiger had vanished without a trace.
For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel worried.
"Guoguo, didn’t you notice when the little tiger cub left?" Yang Yan asked Guoguo beside him.
The Void-Devouring Tiger was most attached to her, logically, she should know some clues.
Unexpectedly, Guoguo shook her head lightly, awkwardly saying, "Since entering the cave, I didn’t know when it slipped off my shoulder."
On the surface, she spoke lightly, but deep down, Guoguo was truly shocked.
This guy had been napping on her shoulder, but really didn’t know when it left.
