"I hope we can get out. It's been 6000 years, I don't want to stay here anymore," Bai Ling sighed.
"Caw..."
The Nìlín Yaopeng instantly flapped its wings and rose, its body transforming into a size of several tens of meters, hovering in mid-air.
Li Lin, Cuiyu, Little Dragon, Bai Ling, and the Blood Jade Yaohu, among others, subsequently climbed onto the back of the Nìlín Yaopeng. With a flap of its wings, the Nìlín Yaopeng created a gust of wind around it, its figure disappearing like lightning from its original spot.
Sitting on the back of the Nìlín Yaopeng, Cuiyu was somewhat dumbfounded. This time, if Li Lin brings Bai Ling and the Nìlín Yaopeng and other beasts out, it won't be long before these beasts become extremely powerful. Soon, the continent above will have quite the spectacle to witness.
Within the grey and dim space, a dead silence pervaded, as dozens of figures arrived at a valley.
"We finally reached the exit," a dozen figures landed in the valley, their auras extremely powerful, they were Qu Daojue, Yun Hongling, Han Feng, Ling Feng, and others.
Zhao Qinghai, Zhao Qingtian, and others also followed the group and didn’t go their separate ways this time. Not having obtained a single Martial Spirit Fruit, everyone was in a gloomy mood throughout the journey.
"This time, Junior Sister's breakthrough delayed us quite a bit. We thought we wouldn't make it to the exit, but it looks like we made it just in time," Han Feng said with a slight smile. This time, only Yun Hongling obtained a Martial Spirit Fruit. After consuming and refining it, it took a lot of time, so everyone was exerting their full effort on the way back, afraid of missing the exit timing.
"Are you all waiting for me? But you all have also gained quite a lot from your cultivation, right? Qu Daojue, haven’t you also broken through to the third level of Martial General?" Yun Hongling pouted.
In the past six months, half of the disciples had made breakthroughs. Among those at the Martial General level, only one had advanced from the first to the second level of Martial General, and then there was Qu Daojue, who had advanced from the second to the third level of Martial General.
Originally, to make the quickest breakthrough in the secret ground, one needed to seize the Martial Spirit Fruit. The top ten disciples on the Dragon List all had the confidence to compete for a Martial Spirit Fruit, but the final outcome was beyond everyone's expectations.
"That's still not as impressive as you, who became a second-level Martial General after one trip to the secret ground," Qu Daojue said, looking at Yun Hongling with absolute shock in his eyes. His breakthrough to the third level of Martial General was normal, after all, cultivation in the secret ground was accelerated by five times, but Yun Hongling's cultivation was accelerated by fifteen times. Additionally, she obtained a Martial Spirit Fruit and broke through again, advancing from the sixth level of Martial Spirit to the second level of Martial General in just half a year. The terror of a three-series martial artist had surprised everyone.
"It's a pity that the energy within the secret ground has now dissipated, and cultivating here is no longer useful," Ba Dao Longsan said.
"Alas..." A young man at the eighth level of Martial Spirit couldn’t help but sigh slightly, "It's just a pity that this time, six Martial Spirit Fruits were taken away by beasts."
Speaking of the Martial Spirit Fruit, everyone had no choice but to feel helpless, each showing a wry smile, especially Zhao Qinghai and Zhao Qingtian, their faces filled with resentment. This time, they got nothing. Initially, they were chasing Li Lin, but in the end, they had to avoid him instead.
Walking with Yun Hongling, Han Feng, and others, Zhao Qinghai was undoubtedly worried about being secretly attacked by Li Lin, so they had to stick together with Yun Hongling and others. Under the public eye, Li Lin wouldn't dare do anything to them.
However, both of them were naturally unaware that if Li Lin really wanted to kill them in the secret ground, he wouldn't need to act personally; letting the Nìlín Yaopeng and other beasts do it would be enough.
Stolen novel; please report.
Of course, Li Lin had thought about letting the beasts kill Zhao Qinghai and others, which would prevent the Yunyang Sect from tracing it back to him. However, if the beasts killed Zhao Qinghai and Zhao Qingtian, Li Lin was worried that it would lead to the Zhao family or even the Yunyang Sect hunting the beasts within the secret ground. Once the disappearance of the fifth-order beasts in the secret ground was discovered, and he was seen leaving the secret ground with several beasts, it would eventually be known by others, making it impossible to explain.
To kill Zhao Qinghai and others, as his own strength increased, Li Lin was not in a hurry. Now, with his and Little Dragon's strength, killing the Zhao Qingtian duo was no longer a problem.
Zhao Qingtian and Zhao Qinghai, of course, were unaware of Li Lin's intentions.
"The exit should be opening soon," Ghost Hand Du Zichun said lightly.
"Why does Li Lin always appear the latest? Does he have to wait until the exit opens to arrive?" Flying Eagle Ling Feng looked back and said.
"Li Lin also obtained a Martial Spirit Fruit, I wonder if he has broken through to Martial General," War Knife Qu Daojue said, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"That cunning thief." Hearing Li Lin's name, Yun Hongling also felt resentful.
Of course, hearing Li Lin's name made Zhao Qinghai, Zhao Qingtian, and even Zeng Chuxiong uncomfortable. At this moment, Zeng Chuxiong stood behind Zhao Qinghai, half of his face covered in black scars from burns, the result of Little Dragon's handiwork. Although Zeng Chuxiong survived, his face was ruined.
"Ha ha, it seems like someone is thinking of me." Just as War Knife Qu Daojue finished speaking, a laugh suddenly came.
"Li Lin."
Hearing this voice, everyone immediately thought of one person.
As everyone turned around, two figures also appeared in front of them.
Seeing the two, everyone was instantly petrified.
A stunningly beautiful woman appeared before everyone's eyes, her fair complexion, elegant and natural beauty without makeup, was born with a mesmerizing charm. With her delicate and straight nose, rosy lips, and bright eyes, she was captivating at a glance. This beauty, to the extreme, was hard to describe in words, leaving everyone staring in awe.
"Such a beautiful woman," Flying Eagle Ling Feng murmured softly.
"Cuiyu, how did you recover your appearance? Weren’t you..." Among everyone, only Yun Hongling showed no surprise, but quickly approached Cuiyu with curiosity.
"It's fine, I'll stay like this from now on," Cuiyu smiled lightly, noticing Yun Hongling's current aura and expressed her surprise, "Hongling, you've actually broken through to the second level of Martial General..."
"This is Cuiyu..."
Everyone recognized Cuiyu and were dumbfounded by the transformation.
"Miss Cuiyu, I didn't realize you were so beautiful. I, Ling Feng, was blind before, please forgive me." Flying Eagle Ling Feng immediately moved next to Cuiyu, his handsome face showing astonishment.
"Miss Cuiyu, I didn’t know you were this beautiful before, truly an eye-opener for me," said Ba Dao Longsan, though burly, he squeezed out a gentle smile and approached Cuiyu.
"Longsan, are you trying to compete with me?" Flying Eagle Ling Feng immediately challenged Ba Dao Longsan.
"Ling Feng, Miss Cuiyu was first noticed by me," Longsan stomped the ground with his massive frame, displaying an impressive aura.
Seeing the two act this way, everyone was used to it, as they had competed many times before in pursuit of Li Wushuang, especially on the Earth Dragon Summit.
"Longsan, being loud makes you right? Let's have a duel right now," Flying Eagle Ling Feng refused to be outdone, staring at Longsan. In front of a beauty, one cannot lose momentum, especially since he was not afraid of Longsan.
"Fine, let’s duel. If anyone loses, they should stay away from Miss Cuiyu," Ba Dao Longsan declared.
"Agreed," Flying Eagle Ling Feng responded.
"Longsan, Ling Feng, are you really going to duel for me?" Cuiyu smiled lightly at the two, her smile captivating and mesmerizing everyone once again.
"Yes," Ba Dao Longsan and Flying Eagle Ling Feng almost said in unison.
"Then fine, whoever wins, I'll give a gift to," Cuiyu smiled again, looking at Li Lin, "But, you have to compete with him. Whoever wins, I'll give a gift to."
"Dueling with Li Lin?" Ba Dao Longsan and Flying Eagle Ling Feng were surprised, and everyone else was puzzled.
Li Lin was also stunned, then smiled lightly, understanding Cuiyu's intention. It seemed he had to make a statement.
"Li Lin, I challenge you," Flying Eagle Ling Feng looked at Li Lin, hardly hesitating before speaking.
Ba Dao Longsan looked at Li Lin, "Li Lin, after we go out, our duel begins. Three months ago, I already had a combat agreement with Li Lin, and now I'm even more eager."
Looking at Cuiyu, their eyes meeting, the understanding between them was clear to them alone. Then, looking at Ba Dao Longsan and Flying Eagle Ling Feng, Li Lin said lightly, "How about atop the Earth Dragon Summit in five days?"
"Fine, no problem," the two said in unison.
"War Knife Qu Daojue, our battle, also on the Earth Dragon Summit in five days," Li Lin then turned his gaze to War Knife Qu Daojue.
"Do you want to compete with all three of us on the same day? A month ago, I broke through to the third level of Martial General. If you're not confident, you can choose to delay," War Knife Qu Daojue looked at Li Lin.
"No need to delay, let's also do it in five days," Li Lin said with a slight smile, already aware of War Knife Qu Daojue's breakthrough.
