My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 491 - 171: [Second Update]

"I don’t recognize it. This creature doesn’t look like a spirit beast from the Immortal Realm." Nan Hua was the first to shake his head, sizing up the spirit beast in front of him.

During their time at the Langya Immortal Sect, they had studied various spirit beasts, Immortal Flowers, and Herbs of the Immortal Realm diligently, but flipping through his memories, he couldn’t find a similar spirit beast.

"This thing might be from the Outer Realm, or perhaps it’s a kind of Outer Heaven Demon. After all, its cultivation seems to be only at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, yet it’s able to control so many people." Mu Chen stroked his chin, guessing as he spoke.

"I wonder what kind of place the Outer Realm is? The creatures coming from there all seem quite strange." Gu Qingqing turned her gaze away, mumbling as she thought of the bizarre spirit beasts they had encountered before.

Si Lin and the others shared similar thoughts with Gu Qingqing, a slight smile tugging at the corners of their lips.

Opposite them, the Red Nightmare Beast was glaring viciously at Gu Qingqing and her companions with its four eyes.

It indeed came from the Outer Realm, and there it wasn’t considered particularly formidable, usually attached to a stronger Heavenly Demon Beast.

The reason it came to the Immortal Realm was that when a powerful spirit beast broke through a barrier, it got inadvertently swept in, landing near a small town.

As a Heavenly Demon Beast with little combat power, it was initially terrified. But upon discovering that the cultivators in the town weren’t very powerful, it immediately used its innate skills to turn the town’s cultivators into its servants, ambushing others who came to the town, like today with Gu Qingqing and her friends, to serve as its food.

Gu Qingqing and her companions were the third group of humans it had encountered. Seeing that they were all at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, each brimming with immortal power, it was greedily attracted. Its hunting during this period had made it quite arrogant, believing its minions could handle Gu Qingqing and her friends, but it hadn’t anticipated hitting a brick wall.

When the array was broken, it thought to escape but was reluctant, thus it lingered, not expecting Gu Qingqing and her companions to find its hiding spot so quickly, leaving it no room to escape.

At this moment, facing Gu Qingqing and the others, it was both frightened and held a sliver of hope.

Remembering its innate skills, its eyes kept flickering, seemingly wanting to turn Gu Qingqing into its servant too.

"Don’t look into its eyes; it’s trying to beguile us. Everyone, be careful." Jun Wu was the first to notice something amiss with the Red Nightmare Beast, covering Gu Qingqing’s eyes as he warned Si Lin and the others.

Upon hearing this, Si Lin and the others’ expressions turned serious, and they immediately averted their gaze.

"I originally intended to find out its origin from it, but now it seems it can’t be left alive." Si Lin murmured, lifting the Dragon Capturing Sword in his hand. As he infused it with immortal power, golden light erupted from the blade. Aiming at the Red Nightmare Beast, he slashed down fiercely.

Although the Red Nightmare Beast had the cultivation of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, its combat power was weak. Bound by Si Lin’s Sword Qi, it couldn’t move at all, forced to watch as the golden Sword Qi approached.

In its final memories, it only saw a trace of golden Sword Qi before being struck down, falling to the ground.

As it collapsed, the townspeople it had turned into servants all ceased their actions and then fell unconscious.

"Rest assured, they’re only knocked out." Mu Chen walked over to the nearest person, checked, and raised his head to inform the others.

Hearing this, Si Lin and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had killed quite a few due to the adversarial situation, it was good news that these people would survive.

Gu Qingqing approached the fallen Red Nightmare Beast, placing her hand on its forehead and closing her eyes.

"Geng Geng, what are you doing?" The others asked in confusion, seeing this scene.

With her eyes closed, Gu Qingqing didn’t answer the question. After about half a minute, she opened her eyes, withdrew her hand, and furrowed her brows.

"Geng Geng, what’s wrong? What were you doing just now?" Jun Wu walked to Gu Qingqing’s side, wiping her hand that had touched the Red Nightmare Beast with a cloth while asking.

"I was performing a Soul Search. It’s a magic from my heritage. I saw this creature’s memories," she pointed to the Red Nightmare Beast. "It’s called the Red Nightmare Beast, definitely from the Outer Realm. Spirit beasts like it are called Heavenly Demon Beasts in the Outer Realm. The Red Nightmare Beast’s cultivation isn’t high, but it has an innate skill to control minds. They typically rely on powerful Heavenly Demon Beasts for survival. It appeared here because a mighty Heavenly Demon Beast broke through the barrier and came to the Immortal Realm, with it inadvertently swept along and arriving here as well."

Gu Qingqing briefly explained the Red Nightmare Beast’s origins. Her expression was far from relieved upon learning its background; instead, it grew even more grave.

Si Lin and the others, not being fools, quickly understood the issue weighing heavily on Gu Qingqing’s mind.

"Are you worried about that powerful Heavenly Demon Beast?" Yue Zhao asked, looking at Gu Qingqing.

"Exactly. That Heavenly Demon Beast is massive, and it’s a kind I’ve never seen before. It hasn’t appeared in the Immortal Realm yet, but from the Red Nightmare Beast’s memories, it’s clear this Demon Beast is exceptionally powerful in the Outer Realm. Most concerning is its high intelligence. I worry it might be lying low, and that would be very disadvantageous for us." Gu Qingqing voiced her concern.

Since witnessing the battle scenes within the Qilin Tree’s space and learning of the impending catastrophe, Gu Qingqing had been preoccupied with it. Now, learning an unknown Heavenly Demon Beast had entered the Immortal Realm and might be scheming something, she was naturally unsettled.

"The Red Nightmare Beast doesn’t know where that Heavenly Demon Beast is?" Nan Hua asked Gu Qingqing, frowning.

Gu Qingqing shook her head.

Upon hearing this, the group fell silent.

The Immortal Realm is vast, and with their cultivation levels, they can’t traverse everywhere at will. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Beast that entered the Immortal Realm is highly cunning, making it difficult to locate.

"Let’s first report this to our master, so he can be alert too. We’ll continue our quest to find the Venerable Red Flame’s treasure house. Since the Red Nightmare Beast landed near the town, perhaps the Heavenly Demon Beast is also nearby. We’ll journey as planned." After contemplating for a while, Si Lin swiftly made a decision, instructing Gu Qingqing and the others.

Unable to find the Heavenly Demon Beast, they had no choice but to proceed with their journey, while informing Wen Guiyun and the others of the situation, to stay vigilant and join in the search for the Heavenly Demon Beast. With more people, the search would unquestionably be more effective than just the few of them!
