"They’re all dead? What a useless bunch! I’m still not satisfied. I want to fight more powerful opponents to the death!"

In the valley, Eight-Eyed Kuang stood among more than thirty corpses, the weakest of which had been at the Spirit Sect Realm Level. A mad light flashed in his eyes. Bathed in blood, he looked both eerie and incredibly dangerous.

Eight-Eyed Kuang closed his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Hunting Dogs, move out! Find me more prey!"

"Yes, Master!"

The figures of the Hunting Dogs stationed nearby flickered and then vanished, fanning out into the Profound Jade Mountain Range.

Atop a large tree beside a stream in the Profound Jade Mountain Range, there was an incredibly well-hidden treehouse.

The exterior of the hidden treehouse was covered in a chameleonic coating, similar to the skin of a chameleon. It changed with the light and its surroundings, allowing the structure to blend seamlessly with the large tree. From a distance, it looked like part of the tree itself, making it nearly impossible to spot.

Shui Lingyan asked, "Is the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass ripe yet?"

Jiang Feng replied, "I’ve looked through the eyes of my eagle. It’s not ripe yet, probably needs another day or two."

Each of these Earth Level treasures is a Heaven and Earth Marvel, and they must be harvested with extreme care. If picked before they are ripe, they will, at best, be ruined; at worst, the Spiritual Medicine will turn into a deadly poison. In the case of the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass, picking it before it’s ripe would render it completely ineffective.

Zhang Ying sighed softly. "We still have to wait two more days. I hope nothing goes wrong."

Ever since discovering the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass, Shui Lingyan and her party had been lying low in the area, waiting for it to ripen. They hadn’t ventured elsewhere to search for other treasures.

The Void Demon Hunting Ground was fraught with danger, with Void Demon Hunters lurking everywhere. Zhang Ying and the others just wanted to complete their mission and leave immediately; they had no desire for any unnecessary complications.

Suddenly, the color drained from Jiang Feng’s face. "This is bad! It’s Luo Ye! That bastard is leading a huge mob of Ghost Man Demons right to us!"

The other three were startled and quickly rushed to the treehouse’s observation port to look outside.

They saw Luo Ye, moving like an exceptionally agile cheetah, weaving through the forest and dashing in their direction.

Trailing behind Luo Ye was a group of elite warriors from the Ghost Demon Race. Each of them had a Ghost Horn on their head, with mysterious Demon Patterns etched around it.

"Shui Lingyan, what do we do?"

The gazes of the other three focused on Shui Lingyan.

Among the four of them, Shui Lingyan’s cultivation was the highest. She was a Peak Grandmaster expert who wielded the Famous Gun, Light Fang, making her one of the most powerful combatants among all Grandmasters.

The other three were also Grandmaster Level experts, but their strength was a far cry from Shui Lingyan’s, especially in terms of combat power. Thus, it was only natural that their small team was led by Shui Lingyan, the strongest contender for a spot among the next Celestial Sword Three Giants.

"Luo Ye is up to no good! We’re pulling out!"

A cold glint flashed in Shui Lingyan’s eyes. She made her decision in an instant, leaping from the hidden treehouse and fleeing into the distance.

The other three also activated their Secret Techniques and followed close behind her.

All four of them were wearing Invisibility Cloaks that could hide their figures and auras. Of course, the cloaks’ power couldn’t compare to Shu Feng’s Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring, but with enough caution, they still greatly reduced their chances of being discovered.

"Trying to escape? Reveal yourselves!"

A mad glint flashed in Luo Ye’s eyes. His body blurred, and he suddenly appeared behind the four of them. With a wave of his hand, he tossed out a handful of Star Moth powder. It transformed into specks of starlight that fell upon Shui Lingyan and her companions.

The figures of the four, who had been completely invisible, instantly materialized.

Furious and alarmed, Jiang Feng roared, "Luo Ye, what the hell are you doing?"

Zhang Ying drew her Spiritual Spear, her eyes filled with murderous intent. If Luo Ye wasn’t a genius from the Royal Family, she would have already shot him and blown his head off.

"Why don’t you all hold off the pursuers for me? See you!"

Luo Ye gave a brilliant smile, his body blurred, and he vanished from sight in an instant.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

From among the Ghost Demon Clan to their rear, a dozen or so Divine Archers drew their bows and fired. Like falling stars, the Arrows flew toward Zhang Ying’s group, each one brimming with terrifying killing intent.

The Arrows were immensely powerful. Given the relative frailty of the human body, a single hit was enough to severely wound even a Grandmaster Level expert.

"Twisted Force Field!"

Jiang Feng’s eyes went cold. He pointed his Magic Staff, and a mysterious Twisted Force Field materialized in front of him.

As the Arrows struck the Twisted Force Field, they were all warped and deflected, ricocheting harmlessly to the side.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The two powerhouses, Zhang Ying and Shui Lingyan, opened fire. Blasts of light slammed into the pursuing Divine Archers of the Ghost Demon Clan, blowing their heads apart one by one.

Three of the Ghost Demon Clan experts erupted with the terrifying, Spirit Sect Level Power of Void Demon as they drew their bows and fired.

Three Arrows, each suffused with black Demon Light, shot straight for Shui Lingyan.

"Ice Wall!"

Jiang Feng pointed his Magic Staff, and an Ice Wall materialized in front of him.

The three Arrows, imbued with the terrifying Power of Void Demon, slammed into the Ice Wall and exploded, shattering it to pieces.

A cold glint flashed in Shui Lingyan’s eyes as she fired three quick shots. Three Spears of Light tore through the air and slammed into the heads of the three Ghost Demon Clan experts of the Spirit Sect Realm, blowing them to pieces.

With the three Spirit Sect Realm experts from the Ghost Demon Clan taken down, countless more elite Ghost Demon warriors swarmed in from all sides, wielding crossbows and firing wildly at Shui Lingyan’s group.

"Looks like I’ve caught some big fish! And four of them at once!"

Behind the Ghost Demon Clan’s main force, a tall, handsome expert with a single Ghost Horn on his forehead watched Shui Lingyan’s group. Despite his good looks, he exuded a sinister aura, and a flicker of excitement shone in his eyes.

A strange light glinted in the Ghost Demon Clan expert’s eyes as he spoke slowly, "It’s a shame. These four are all Grandmaster Level experts from the Blue Star Realm. It’s not the right time to hunt them yet."

"Brother Li Yuan, I have five thousand subordinates. We can just wear them down until they’re exhausted. Then you can easily hunt them down!"

A stunningly beautiful Ghost Demon woman with a voluptuous figure and a single Ghost Horn on her forehead smiled sweetly at the expert. She was Yin Feifei, the Third Princess of the Ghost Realm.

"I can’t wait. With prey this good, it’s best to tear them to pieces while they’re still at full strength!"

Li Yuan gave a chilling smile. His figure blurred and vanished from sight.
