Chapter 1801: Three Beasts Display Their Might

Outside the Firecloud Peak, three figures stood in the air.

The leader, dressed in a blue long robe, exuded a powerful aura and was already a Celestial Deity realm expert.

Ye Yuan recognized him from here—this man was Qian Ye.

Behind him were two others: one was Zhong Hanlin, who had recently joined the sect, and the other was the disciple who had arranged for Ye Yuan to enter Firecloud Peak and open a cave dwelling.

"Wang Quan, you did well this time. From now on, you are an outer member of my Flying Flower faction. This pill is your reward."

Qian Ye casually tossed a pill over, his tone dripping with arrogance.

However, Wang Quan didn't mind at all; instead, he was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qian Ye! If there's anything you need Wang Quan to do in the future, just say the word, and I'll go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Qian Ye nodded and said, "Are you sure they entered Firecloud Peak?"

Wang Quan quickly replied, "Rest assured, Senior Brother. I kept an eye on them that day and saw with my own eyes that the two of them indeed entered Firecloud Peak."

Qian Ye said indifferently, "Firecloud Peak has thin spiritual energy and several fifth-rank ferocious beasts. That kid thinks too highly of himself and took the opportunity to come here for training. But if he encounters a fifth-rank ferocious beast, he's dead for sure. Let's go take a look."

Qian Ye was very confident in his own strength; even if he ran into a fifth-rank ferocious beast, he was sure he could retreat unscathed.

Just then, several more figures flew in from afar.

Three groups arrived, as if they had agreed upon it, all coming to this desolate Firecloud Peak at the same time.

Qian Ye frowned and sneered, "You sure know how to pick up the scraps!"

"Hey, Qian Ye, don't say that. You're the one who moved too fast," said a young man in white robes beside Duan Qinghong.

This man's aura was no weaker than Qian Ye's; he was also a Celestial Deity realm expert.

These two were from the Cloud Sword faction.

There were two other groups: one from the Jade Pool faction, with only Jiang Xueyan; and the other from the Demon Elephant faction, which was none other than Song Ting.

"Hey, you can't say that. Killing a mere Ye Yuan doesn't take much effort. Didn't you just use a small trick to take his life?" Jiang Xueyan said with a smile.

Qian Ye curled his lip disdainfully and said, "Back in Shadowmoon Mountain Range, you insisted on stopping me unnecessarily. Now you want to kill him."

Jiang Xueyan smiled and said, "Times have changed. Back then, you were about to make a move on Bai Li!"

Qian Ye snorted coldly and said, "Enough nonsense. Since everyone's here, why not go up Firecloud Peak and take a look? I believe with our strength, we can explore it once without any problem."

At these words, everyone nodded in agreement.

With several Celestial Deity realm disciples acting together, even if there were fifth-rank ferocious beasts, they could handle them.

The group descended into Firecloud Peak and began searching for traces of Ye Yuan and the others.

The trail Ye Yuan left was very obvious; there were signs of battle in many places on the mountain, making it easy to find.

It didn't take long for Qian Ye and the others to find a pile of ferocious beast corpses.

When they saw the corpses of three peak late-stage fourth-rank ferocious beasts, their expressions turned serious.

"This kid's combat strength is too strong. At the sixth level of Divine Lord realm, he can kill three peak late-stage fourth-rank ferocious beasts! And it seems the battle didn't last long!" Qian Ye said gravely.

Jiang Xueyan, however, said calmly, "What's so surprising about that? How do you think he got first place in the entrance exam? That's why he must die!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. The emergence of such a genius would disrupt the balance among the three major factions.

Such a situation was absolutely not allowed.

Ye Yuan being assigned to Tianying Peak was clearly the result of the three major factions' efforts.

Otherwise, given the talent Ye Yuan had displayed, even if he didn't have a powerful background, he would never have been assigned to Tianying Peak.

"The spiritual energy ahead is getting richer. It seems the cave dwelling he chose is not far ahead. But this place should be very close to the territory of fifth-rank ferocious beasts, right?" Yi Qingxiang, the Celestial Deity realm disciple from Cloud Sword Sect, said with a half-smile.

Hearing Yi Qingxiang's words, everyone revealed knowing smiles.

Even if Ye Yuan had astonishing talent, encountering a fifth-rank ferocious beast would mean certain death.

Following Ye Yuan's footprints, the group gradually approached the location of the sealed spiritual eye.

"This Fire Cloud Peak is truly a remote and barren place! Even the most spiritually rich area here can't compare to a third-rank cave dwelling."

Feeling the surrounding spiritual energy, Chiba looked disdainful.

The others also showed expressions of deep agreement.

The cave dwellings where they cultivated were all high-grade spiritual eyes, so naturally they looked down on a place like Fire Cloud Peak.

Heavenly Hero Peak was already the most spiritually barren vein, and Fire Cloud Peak was a scattered peak within Heavenly Hero Peak with extremely thin spiritual energy—one could imagine the spiritual energy here.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

Suddenly, a series of beastly roars rang out.

Countless powerful auras instantly erupted from all directions.

Hearing this, the group felt their scalps go numb.

The auras of these ferocious beasts were extremely powerful, and among them, several were clearly fifth-rank beasts.

"Not good, why have so many beasts suddenly appeared? Let's go, this place is not safe to stay!" Jiang Xueyan exclaimed, her face turning pale.

However, before her words faded, three ferocious beasts burst out from the dense forest, surrounding them.

"Desert Cloud Ancient Bear! Golden Rainbow Heavenly Demon Deer! Dragon Thunder Dark Boar!"

Upon seeing these three fifth-rank beasts, Qianye was scared out of his wits.

Although these three ferocious beasts were only at the early fifth rank, their strength was certainly far greater than that of these Celestial Gods at the first heaven.

If it were just one, they could barely handle it.

But three appearing at once—this was simply a death sentence!

These three ferocious beasts were naturally the ones Ye Yuan had subdued.

In the end, they could not resist the temptation of the Closed Cultivation Spirit Eye and chose to yield.

After all, the spiritual energy of Fire Cloud Peak was still relatively too barren.

"Ignorant fools, how dare you disturb Bear Lord's cultivation? You deserve death!"

"Dead bear, why waste words with them? Just kill them directly," said the Dragon Thunder Dark Boar.

"Kill! Deer Lord still needs to cultivate!" added the Golden Rainbow Demon Deer.

The three wasted no words and directly charged at Qian Ye and the others.

In an instant, the group was thrown into chaos by the three immensely powerful ferocious beasts.

"These creatures have already awakened their intelligence; we are no match! Run!" Jiang Xueyan shouted loudly.

None of them dared to prolong the fight, frantically trying to break through and escape.

But these three ferocious beasts were not easy to deal with; escaping was not so simple.

For a time, Qian Ye and the others were locked in a bitter struggle.

That Wang Quan, only at the ninth heaven of the Divine Lord realm, was slapped by the Desolate Cloud Ancient Bear and died without even a trace left.

Pitifully, he had joined the Flying Flower Sect for less than a day before meeting such a fate of death and dissolution.

The group fought while retreating, trying to fly out of the range of Fire Cloud Peak.

Once they did, no matter how strong these three ferocious beasts were, they would not dare to pursue further.
