Chương 86: Pulling it out by the roots

Biên tập viên: Misty Cloud Translations

Bei Gong Tang looked at Sima You Yue and said, "You want to go by yourself?"

"You've also seen the situation below. If we all go down, I'm afraid that we'll add on to the number of people who'll end up in between the teeth of these Spirit Beasts." Sima You Yue said, "I have an idea on how to secretly sneak in there, but I have no way of bringing you all along with me. Zi Qi, Ouyang, Fatty, the three of you have to be proper protectors of the flower. After you have scattered the medicinal powder onto the bodies of the people from the Nalan Clan, retreat immediately. We will meet in Salt City in two days."

"How can we let you go alone?!" Bei Gong Tang didn't want to take the pill bottle.

"We haven't finished doing our things, I won't take my life as a joke." Sima You Yue stuffed the pill bottle into Bei Gong Tang's hand and said, "Trust me, I will bring the Golden Snake Fruit back!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly flashed out from behind the shrub and dashed towards the bottom of the mountain.

"We should leave as well." Ouyang Fei said, "He's not someone who only talks big. Since he said that he has a way, it must be the truth. If we go, we may only drag him down."

Wei Zi Qi, Fatty Qu and the gang did not refute what Ouyang Fei said because it was the truth. They always felt that they were excellent amongst their peers and had never thought a day would come that they would drag someone else down.

Bei Gong Tang watched as Sima You Yue dashed down the mountain, disappearing completely amongst the crowd of Spirit Beasts and could not help but feel worry in her heart.

How long has it been since she felt worry for another person?

She clutched the pill bottle tightly in her hand and forced down her worry, saying, "You all wait for me here, I'll go and scatter this onto the bodies of the people from the Nalan Clan."

After she said this, she was going to leave but she was pulled to a stop by Ouyang Fei.

"We'll go together."

Bei Gong Tang saw the look of resolution in his gaze and nodded.

"We don't have to scatter this onto Nalan He's body. There will definitely still be people at the Nalan Clan's campsite, so we'll scatter this onto this inside of their tent before leaving." Wei Zi Qi said, "It's too chaotic here now, the earlier we leave the better."

"Mm, let's go!"

"Wait up." Fatty Qu pulled everyone to a stop as he took out four masks from his interspatial ring and handed it to everyone, saying "In order to avoid revealing our identities, it'll be better for us to put these on.

"Fatty, why would you have these masks?" Wei Zi Qi asked.

"You Yue gave them to me." Fatty Qu put on the face mask as he took the initiative to walk out.

Ouyang Fei and the three of them wordlessly put on the face mask. Was this something that Sima You Yue had prepared much earlier in order for him to do some misdeeds?

"Let us move out as well."

The three of them put on the face masks as the followed Fatty Qu and walked towards the Nalan Clan's tent.

Because they didn't know how many people still remained at the Nalan Clan's campsite, Bei Gong Tang and the others scattered the medicinal powder around the inside of the tent before leaving. They didn't see who was inside the tent at all.

Nalan Lan was outside, looking at the situation outside and was so afraid that her face was paperwhite and she charged right back into the tent. Because she was still so traumatised, she didn't realised that there was an additional faint fragrance within the tent.

After their plans had gone smoothly, Wei Zi Qi and the four of them began to run off in another direction on the mountain. They didn't run far when they saw Ya Guang in front waiting for them.

"Master told me to bring you all back." Ya Guang revealed himself as he told Wei Zi Qi and the others.

The inner areas were currently chaotic. If they met any crazy Spirit Beasts, as a Saint Ranked beast, Ya Guang would be stronger than those beasts by quite a bit.

Wei Zi Qi and the others did not refuse as they directly climbed onto Ya Guang's back, allowing him to carry them as he ran towards the outer regions.

Bei Gong Tang sat right at the back and she turned her head around to look at the mountain valley that was illuminated by the battles taking place, looking slightly as if she was holding herself back.

Sima You Yue took out and wore a face mask the moment she came out from behind the boulder and then ran towards the bottom of the mountain.

During the moment in which she entered the hoard of Spirit Beasts, the aura she released changed unexpectedly. It was as if her entire person's presence suddenly disappeared. Even if she walked past those people and Spirit Beasts, they didn't notice her. As a result, she quickly passed by the hoard of Spirit Beasts and came to the bottom of the overhanging cliff, flying towards the side of the Golden Snake Fruit in a single leap.

"Wow, I never thought that I would ever be able to experience the feeling of flying." Sima You Yue sighed to Mo Sha the moment she landed.

Mo Sha didn't reply her, saying "As you near the Golden Snake Fruit, the strength that I poured into your body will disappear. When that time comes, you can only depend on yourself to pick that Golden Snake Fruit. Furthermore, you have to be quick, or else, if the people or Spirit Beasts downstairs realise it, I don't have to tell you what the consequences will be."

"I understand." Sima You Yue nodded.

There were so many powerful Spirit Beasts and experts down below. If they were to take any action against her once she dug out the Golden Snake Fruit tree, even if she didn't die, she would still walk around the gates of death.

"If you're prepared, I'll retract my strength." Once Mo Sha finished speaking, Sima You Yue felt the strength that was just poured into her own body disappeared, along with the lithe feeling.

She took out the trowel that she usually used to dig out weeds within the Spirit Pearl as she squatted beside the Golden Snake Fruit and began to cautiously dig out the Golden Snake Fruit.

This Golden Snake Fruit Tree was shorter than fifty over centimeters in height, but its roots were not small. In order to minimise the damage done to the Golden Snake Fruit tree, she tried hard to dig the roots out entirely. Just as she was going to complete it, an angry roar sounded from the air.

"Roar-"

The Full Ape that was battling Sima You Yue felt that someone was touching the Golden Snake Fruit, and although it was initially at an advantage and was relentlessly pursuing Sima Lie, it turned around and charged towards Sima You Yue at a high speed.

Sima Lie had battled a few rounds with the Full Ape and was preparing to withdraw, however, the Full Ape did not give him any opportunity to escape. Seeing the Full Ape leave, Sima Lie seized the opportunity to fly to a neighboring mountain peak and came beside the Golden Snake Fruit Tree as he wanted to see what it was that actually avoided the detection of so many people and Spirit Beasts.

Other people also noticed the situation that was occurring on the overhanging cliff and headed towards the Golden Snake Fruit tree one after the other. They saw someone wearing a face mask and a large mantle, squatting there digging up the Golden Snake Fruit.

"Who is that?"

Nobody could think of anyone they had met these few days that looked like this person. Even upon close scrutiny, they could not figure out this person's identity.

Sima You Yue felt that the Full Ape was charging towards her but saw that a bit of roots still remained in the dirt. She hardened her heart and immediately pulled up the Golden Snake Fruit Tree and threw it into her Spirit Pearl.

When the Golden Snake Fruit Tree disappeared, Mo Sha's power bubbled up in her body once again. Before she was prepared, the Full Ape had rushed over and she had no choice by to receive one of its blows.

"Pfff-" Sima You Yue was sent flying by a single punch by the Full Ape and spat out a fresh spray of blood, eventually flipping her body and flying in the air.

It was only at this time that everyone could see her figure clearly and saw that it was clearly slender and thin. However this was unable to conceal the aura that was emanating from her body.

"Spirit, Spirit Paragon?" Sima Lie said uncertainly.

"Master, when did a Spirit Paragon appear on our Continent?"

"It's not a real Spirit Paragon. Her aura is clearly superficial and it's obvious that its not her real strength."

"..."

"Daring Human, you actually dare to steal my Golden Snake Fruit!" The Full Ape saw that even the Golden Snake Fruit Tree had been uprooted and was incomparably angry. Furthermore, she had not died even after receiving its punch, causing him to become even more furious. Its body suddenly rose up as it launched its large fist towards Sima You Yue once again.

Chương 87: The entertaining show comes to an end

Mo Sha could feel the violent strength that came from the area where the strong wind was and brought Sima You Yue to retreat backwards in the air a few tens of metres in order to avoid the explosive punch from the Full Ape.

"Hey, I say, didn't you say that you were very powerful? How come you can't even defeat this monkey now?" Sima You Yue asked as she watched Mo Sha bring her into hiding.

"My soul is currently unsteady and I can't display my power." Mo Sha said, "Furthermore, I was not ready to receive its punch just now. Meeting it head on injured me a bit."

"Alright then, since we can't defeat it, we should escape. We'd be in trouble if other people wanted to snatch it from me as well."

After she finished speaking, Sima You Yue called Little Roc out from the Spirit Pearl. He directly appeared and she flipped her body and landed on his back.

"Little monkey, I won't play with you today!" Sima You Yue towered above the Full Ape and looked down on it. She saw that it was violent, angry and filled with resentment, she suddenly felt some kind of reluctance. The treasure that it had protected a few thousand years ago was uprooted just like this; wasn't this going too far.

Her mind speed up a few seconds as she took a Golden Snake Fruit and threw it to the Full Ape, saying, "Little Monkey, you guarded it for such a long time, I'll give you a bit of the share."

The Full Ape caught the Golden Snake Fruit that Sima You Yue had thrown over and confirmed it. It raised its head and saw that she had already left while sitting on Little Roc. It was a bit confused in its heart.

It initially thought that it would never be able to retrieve the Golden Snake Fruit today. It never expected that this person would actually give it one and it was extremely unexpected.

However, it just needed a single Golden Snake Fruit because it never thought of relying on this to increase its strength. It only wanted to stimulate and awaken its bloodline in its body. It was a good thing that this human did not snatch away the entirety of the Golden Snake Fruit, leaving it with some hope. Otherwise, even if it had to self-destruct, it would drag her down with it!

Thinking up to this point, the pure heart of the Full Ape was filled with gratitude towards Sima You Yue. If she found out about it, she would definitely scold it for being foolish!

The Full Ape ate the Golden Snake Fruit and flew towards another direction, leaving behind a mountain full of people and Spirit Beasts.

Everyone had yet to react when both thieving parties of the Golden Snake Fruit left. The Mountain Valley no longer had the aura of the Golden Snake Fruit and those Spirit Beasts also slowly came back to their senses. A few of the higher rank ones took the initiative to leave first.

"Family leader, is the Golden Snake Fruit just gone like this?" Nalan Family's guard came beside Nalan He. The both of them felt like they were in a dream. They were just battling others for the sake of the Golden Snake Fruit, but their eyes merely left it for a moment before it was gone.

"If not? Even if that person wasn't a spirit paraon, it would at least be the rank of a Spirit Emperor. How else would she be able to use a secret method to increase her strength to the level of a Spirit Paragon. This kind of person also has a flying Spirit Beast by her side; do you want to go and snatch it from her?" Nalan He thought that his trip here was completely wasted and had a raging inferno in his heart and vented it all on the Imperial Bodyguard.

"Your subordinate doesn't dare." The guard immediately cupped his hands and said.

"Go back and pack up, let's leave this mountain valley first." Nalan He commanded.

"Yes, Family Leader."

Nalan Clan's people moved out quickly while the others also left the mountain peak successively. Although it wasn't safe to travel along at night, if they remained here, it was unknown whether or not the beasts below would go crazy. If they attacked them, it would spell trouble.

There were only two people who didn't move. One of them was Sima Lie while the other was Qing Wu Ya.

Sima Lie stood on the mountain peak, watching the direction in which Sima You Yue had left. He had the feeling that that person's silhouette was somewhat familiar, however, he could not remember where he had seen it. He thought for a long time but he never thought that person would be his granddaughter that he had brought up since she was young.

However, Qing Wu Ya recognised that it was Sima You Yue. When he first saw the Four Winged Roc, he thought that it was just a coincidence; this guy who stole the Golden Snake Fruit just happened to possess a Four Winged Roc. However, when he recognised that the little white dot sitting on the head on the Four Winged Roc was Little Roar, he was certain that person was Sima You Yue.

However, he had no intentions on revealing this piece of news; it counted as his repayment to Sima You Yue for saving his life. When he heard his father shout for her, he turned around and left with them.

On the other hand, Sima Lie initially saw Little Roar as well. However, he had never seen the Four Winged Roc before and thought that it was some white feathers on the Four Winged Roc's forehead. As a result, he had missed the chance to recognise Sima You Yue.

"General, that person… we are unable to defeat her right now…" After the Imperial Bodyguard came beside Sima Lie and saw that he was gazing towards the direction that Sima You Yue had left, he thought that Sima Lie was still unresigned.

"I know." Sima Lie said, "Get everyone to pack their things and leave."

"Yes, General."

Very quickly, the noisy mountain valley quieted down, leaving behind only the carcasses of the Spirit Beasts who had died in the battle.

It was not that the people who had left did not entertain thoughts of taking away the dead bodies, however, these Spirit Beasts had always hated it when humans snatched away the dead bodies. Although it wasn't their own species, they would not permit it under these circumstances.

There were so many Spirit Beasts right now that although these people wanted to bring them back with them, they still left.

Sima You yue sat on Little Roc as they flew towards the outer region. Sitting on his back and looking down, the view as the moon shone down on the Pu Luo Mountain Range was really not bad.

After leaving the Mountain Valley by quite a distance, Mo Sha took back his power, saying, "I'm going back. My soul has been unstable this entire time and I've even sustained injuries. I won't be able to lend you my power again in the near future."

Hearing that Mo Sha's voice was a bit weak, Sima You Yue asked worriedly, "How are you feeling? Is it serious?"

"It's nothing, I just need to absorb the gas from the Golden Snake Fruit Tree for awhile and I'll be fine." Mo Sha said, "the next time I come out, there won't be this kind of circumstance anymore."

"In that case do you want to eat a Golden Snake Fruit?" Sima You Yue asked.

"No need, I can't eat it, anyway. My current soul can't handle the explosive energy from the Golden Snake Fruit at all." Mo Sha said, "If you really want me to recover quicker, it's not like there's no method."

"What method?"

"Alchemy." Mo Sha said, "As long as you are able to refine some pills that can benefit the soul, I will be able to recover faster."

"How am I supposed to refine Dark Pills." Sima You Yue was initially excited when she heard that there was a way, but was discouraged when she heard him talk about Dark Pills.

"Have you forgotten about your physique?" Mo Sha said.

"Light Devil's body?" Sima You Yue didn't understand, what did this have to do with refining Dark Pills?

"People who have the Devil's physique are able to absorb dark spiritual qi. As long as you possess dark spiritual Qi, when you are refining pills, just add it in and you will be able to concoct Dark Pills." Mo Sha explained.

"Huh, I can absorb dark spiritual qi?" Sima You Yue said with surprise, "then what rank of pills will be of use to you?"

"At the very least it must be sixth rank." Mo Sha said, "right now, you are only able to refine pills at rank one. It's still too early for you to refine pills that will be of use to me."

Sima You Yue touched her nose, saying, "This is the hidden reason why you were willing to come out and teach me how to refine pills, right?"

She'd said it earlier, at that time, when she had felt that she was of a Light Devil's body, she was wondering why he was so willing to reveal the fact that they had a contract with each other. He was even passionately teaching her alchemy. It turns out that he was just thinking that she would be able to refine some Dark Pills that would be useful to him in the future.
