My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 485 - 165

When Gu Qingqing and the others left the Langya Immortal Sect to find the Venerable Red Flame’s treasure house, Wen Guiyun and Immortal Venerable Hao Lan were not idle either.

The news Gu Qingqing and the others brought back was truly shocking. Although hard to believe, upon careful thought, there were clues to follow. Recently, within this year, occurrences of giant beasts or spirit beasts not belonging to the Immortal Realm appeared in various places in the Immortal Realm frequently, and it goes without saying where those giant beasts came from.

As Wen Guiyun had recently returned to the Immortal Realm, he was not very familiar with the current powers in the Immortal Realm, so intervening recklessly could easily cause chaos. Therefore, the negotiations with other sects were left to Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, while Wen Guiyun was responsible for guarding the Langya Immortal Sect.

Three days after Gu Qingqing and the others had left, while Wen Guiyun was reading in his cave residence, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door. It was the Immortal Child assigned to serve him, hurrying in from outside.

The door was not closed, and when the Immortal Child arrived at the entrance, he first saluted Wen Guiyun. After receiving Wen Guiyun’s permission, he entered the room.

"What happened? Why the rush?" Seeing the Immortal Child breaking a sweat, evidently very anxious, Wen Guiyun put down his book and asked curiously.

"Respected Immortal, a disciple just reported that a giant beast has appeared at the foot of the mountain, with exceptionally high cultivation. Four of the Peak Masters are in closed-door cultivation, the other four are on missions and cannot leave, while the other disciples are no match for the giant beast. This matter requires the Immortal to step in." Upon hearing Wen Guiyun’s words, the Immortal Child hurriedly reported the situation.

"Where is the giant beast now?" Wen Guiyun’s expression darkened slightly as he stood up and asked the Immortal Child.

"It’s right at the foot of the mountain, and many of the people down there have suffered. That is why I’m so anxious; there are many people below the mountain, and it’s rumored the giant beast eats people. We must prevent a disaster." This was also why he was so anxious. There were many people below the mountain, and the giant beast was rumored to eat people. It must not lead to a disaster.

"I understand. I will go immediately. Stay here and wait." With a flash of his form, Wen Guiyun disappeared from the spot, leaving only his voice behind.

When the Immortal Child looked up, Wen Guiyun had already left. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that if the Immortal could intervene, they would surely defeat the giant beast, saving the people from suffering, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Guiyun’s speed was very fast. Disciples in the sect felt a gentle breeze brushing past them. They only captured a glimpse of a white figure in the corner of their eyes, without feeling anyone passing by.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he indeed saw the rampaging giant beast in the distance at once.

It was a giant spider-like beast, with cultivation approximately at the Immortal Emperor Level. Even if a few Peak Masters of the Langya Immortal Sect came down, they might not be a match for this giant beast.

It occasionally spat out webs, cocooning people in front of it as its reserves of food. Many of the civilians’ homes were severely damaged.

There were many civilians at the foot of the mountain. Wen Guiyun scanned the area, already seeing several corpses and severed limbs, and furrowed his brows deeply, casting an icy stare at the giant beast.

Stretching out his hand, a long sword appeared in it. Just as he was about to move forward, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking the giant beast.

The Jade Flute was held in the person’s hand, spun around, then brought to her lips. Immediately, the sound of music rose.

The giant beast was captivated by the melody, its actions paused for a moment, then its whole body turned towards the person, seemingly a bit agitated but not attacking.

The one taking action was Hua Yanxi, who had just arrived within the domain of the Langya Immortal Sect.

Hua Yanxi was very fond of Gu Qingqing. Ever since Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu left, she stayed there for some time. Suddenly wanting to go out for a stroll, after wandering through several places, Gu Qingqing came to mind, and she thought of visiting the Langya Immortal Sect. Unexpectedly, just upon reaching the foot of the mountain, she encountered this big fellow. Seeing it attacking innocent civilians, she immediately intervened to rescue them.

Ever since Hua Yanxi appeared, Wen Guiyun has been intently watching her, with a gaze very dark and a complex expression on his face.

Hua Yanxi was unaware of being observed, fully concentrated on dealing with the giant spider in front of her.

The opponent’s cultivation was slightly lower than hers, and as a Music Cultivator, her combat strength was limited, but it was enough to deal with the giant spider.

The giant spider was entirely entranced by Hua Yanxi’s music. Although hints of struggle could be seen, it was still under her control, circling in place.

As the melody changed, small wounds appeared on the giant spider’s body. Although they didn’t look severe, they indeed affected the giant spider.

However, such a result did not satisfy Hua Yanxi. She raised her eyebrows slightly and changed the tune again. The music became somewhat odd, sounding uncomfortable to human ears, but very effective on the giant spider. Several cuts appeared on the giant spider’s back, with blood seeping out.

The scent of blood seemed to agitate the giant spider further, making it appear even more violent, even using its own steps to harm itself.

Seeing this, Hua Yanxi was very satisfied, placing her hand on the flute and continuing to play.

She played a long tune, about a quarter of an hour. By the time she finished a piece, half of the giant spider’s eight legs had broken off, and its body was no longer held high as before, instead lying prostrate on the ground, with its back full of hollows, blood flowing profusely, looking rather terrifying.

When Hua Yanxi stopped playing, the giant spider’s body visibly shuddered, seemingly breaking free of Hua Yanxi’s control. It instinctively tried to move its legs to approach Hua Yanxi, but as soon as it moved, it fell to the ground. After all, half of its legs were gone, and the remaining half were riddled with wounds, looking very gruesome.
