A vast expanse of blue-green grassland lay before them, when suddenly, a massive burst of golden light shot up into the sky, and the ground began to tremble slightly. A gigantic yellow centipede lay on the ground, spewing poisonous mist from its mouth.
Deep within the grassland, Chu Buyu stood atop a low mound, his face pale, enveloped by a red light screen.
Wu Jiao, Mu Lang, and a portly man in golden robes were besieging Chu Buyu, their various spiritual lights fiercely clashing in the sky above.
"If you continue to attack me, I will destroy the Longevity Fruit,"
Chu Buyu declared resolutely.
"Hand over the Longevity Fruit, and this old man will spare your life,"
Mu Lang said sternly.
The five of them had discovered a Longevity Fruit tree and had killed the Monster Beasts guarding it, only for Chu Buyu to suddenly appear and steal the few remaining fruits.
"Empty words prove nothing. Swear by your inner demons,"
Chu Buyu demanded.
