Chapter 282: Chapter 140: The Unrivaled Lin Xuankong Startles the Valley’s Strongest_3
In the valley, nearly a thousand Martial Cultivators were initially somewhat surprised to see Lin Xuankong enter the Demon Qi Group. Later, seeing Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er surprisingly anxious and worried for this ’Mu Shiba,’ their expressions became rather peculiar. Now, hearing that Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er promised incredible rewards to save Mu Shiba, everyone’s expressions grew even stranger. They looked at each other, puzzled and murmuring among themselves.
General Wang Linghui from Prince Yu’s Mansion stepped out of the crowd, sighed, and saluted, "Third Princess, it’s not that we don’t want to rescue this Mr. Mu! He has already ventured nearly fifty steps deep into the Demon Qi Group, which is beyond the limit any of us can reach. Even if we wanted to save him, we couldn’t catch up and are powerless! What’s more, everyone has just entered the Demon Qi Group, and our True Qi and the True Qi in the Profound Truth Jade have been completely depleted. How can we have enough True Qi to go in and save him... Hmm, that’s odd!"
As he spoke, General Wang Linghui, an Early Eighth Layer expert, suddenly seemed to realize something. An expression of astonishment appeared on his face. His eyes squinted tightly, staring intensely into the depths of the Demon Qi Group, focusing on the still-moving cluster of light.
"How... how can he walk such a long distance? Isn’t he a Tier Six Cultivator? This distance... even if I use the Flea Body Technique and prepare Profound Truth Jade, I can’t reach it!"
As soon as Wang Linghui said this, the nearly thousand powerhouses present immediately changed their expressions, all squinting their eyes and staring at the slowly moving light cluster. Just moments ago, most of their attention and thoughts were on the Third Princess, secretly gossiping about why Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er was so nervous and concerned about this Mu Shiba. Now, upon hearing Wang Linghui’s words, everyone immediately noticed this puzzling fact.
Yu Jiansheng, a general from Prince Yu’s Mansion, had a look of doubt and astonishment on his face. He turned to look at the Little Yu King and said in a deep voice, "Changge, you have known this Mr. Mu for a long time. Is his Cultivation Realm really just the Sixth Layer? He has already advanced more than sixty steps now—no, more than seventy steps! In this terrible Demon Qi Group, advancing more than seventy steps... forget about a Tier Six Cultivator; even an Early Eighth Layer cultivator couldn’t reach it without General Wang Linghui’s Flea Body Technique!"
The Little Yu King, Yu Changge, frowned and squinted. Staring at the light cluster in the Demon Qi Group, his face was full of confusion and surprise. He shook his head, "Although I have known Mr. Mu for a while, it’s just a passing acquaintance. I don’t know him well, but looking at his young appearance, he should at most be of Sixth-Layer Cultivation!"
Elder Han Li, who had just run back from the valley entrance and was staring intently at the light cluster, shook his head repeatedly. "A Tier Six Cultivator? Impossible, absolutely impossible, definitely impossible! He... he has already advanced more than eighty steps. How can a Tier Six Martial Cultivator have so much True Qi?"
Yang Luochen, one of the seven heroes of Prince Dong’s Mansion, suddenly wore a solemn expression. "A Tier Six Martial Cultivator, even with a hundred pieces of Profound Truth Jade, couldn’t reach such a distance! He is definitely not Sixth Layer. I estimate he isn’t even Seventh Layer, but highly likely Late Eighth Layer!"
Even I, an Early Eighth Layer expert, can only advance just over fifty steps, and that’s with the aid of Prince Dong’s Mansion’s Explosive Dust Technique to affect the Demon Qi! How could a Tier Six Martial Cultivator possibly walk more than eighty steps? Even if he were doused in the blood of a Demon Chicken, it’s impossible! Yang Luochen, a Tier Eight Powerhouse, thought to himself.
"Yes, yes, yes, he probably concealed his cultivation. He might even be Late Eighth Layer or at Perfection!" The white-bearded Han Li, carrying a longsword, looked closely at the light cluster, his eyes filled with suspicion. "Otherwise, how could he have obtained three seventh-tier puppets and be able to walk so far?"
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er was filled with tension and anxiety. After hearing everyone’s discussions, she shook her head repeatedly. Mr. Mu can’t possibly be Eighth Layer! He personally admitted he was Sixth Layer and even broke through to the Sixth Layer right in front of me. These people are just making wild guesses! Mr. Mu’s character doesn’t seem reckless. Even Granny Guan couldn’t handle the Demon Qi Group, so why would he impulsively rush in? This is truly worrying! This isn’t the Tier Two Celestial Demon Bone we suspected earlier! This is very likely a Tier Four Celestial Demon Bone! The Demon Qi from such a Celestial Demon Bone would annihilate anyone, no matter how exceptional their talent or how vast their True Qi reserves, unless those reserves were a thousand times greater than others... But it’s absolutely impossible for any cultivator in this world to have True Qi reserves a thousand times greater than others! Forget Mr. Mu; even that ’Blood Ox’ Lin Xuankong she knew couldn’t possibly have such enormous True Qi reserves!
She looked towards the light cluster, her brow deeply furrowed.
At that moment, within the Demon Qi Group, Lin Xuankong was enduring the terrifying pressure assailing him from all directions as he continued to walk forward. He looked up at the strange phantoms drifting past, his mind focused on the rate of True Qi consumption in his Life Plate.
After advancing another fifty steps, his face suddenly showed a look of amazement.
