Chapter 1075 - Monarch Ranked expert appears
“That’s right, that’s right. Who’s fighting with whom?”
“Who’s got the upper hand?”
“Could it be that they’re fighting over some treasure?”
“I can’t see anything either!”
“…”
Sima You Yue was speechless. Others were caught in a fight, but why was every single one of them so excited?
“Yue Yue, where’s the fight taking place? Why can’t I see anything?!” Little Seven pulled on Sima You Yue’s arm and asked.
“It’s not that I sensed it. My bees were the one who brought back that information.” Sima You Yue said.
“Oh, you should have said so earlier.”
Everyone withdrew their senses. She should have told them earlier if she heard the information from the bees so they wouldn’t have needed to waste their energy.
“Why are they fighting?” Bi Sheng asked.
In a place like this, the reason for battles would almost always be due to treasure. Places where fights broke out would always indicate some sort of treasure. That was why everyone would disperse after winning. Otherwise, those nearby might rush over to try and snatch their treasure from them.
If someone really came, they would have just gone through a battle. Wouldn’t that mean that the treasure would definitely fall into their arms?
“Not sure. Just as they released the news about the battle, they were caught in the crossfire and died.” Sima You Yue said.
“Do we want to head over and take a look?” Ximen Feng asked.
“Go over. Of course we should go over. If there are any treasures, I wouldn’t mind being a fisherman just this once.” Sima You Yue smiled.
“Fisherman?”
“When the sandpiper and clam battle, the fisherman catches them both.”
“Haha, let’s go. Let’s go be fishermen!”
…
By the time the group arrived at the scene of the battle, it had already ended. Corpses littered the ground and the victors were nowhere to be seen.
“We’re late.” Bi Sheng said, “The dead bodies aren’t even warm anymore. This proves that the battle ended a long time ago.”
“It’s a little strange.” Sima You Yue hopped off Halcyon’s back and landed beside the few dead bodies.
The moment she moved, Wu Lingyu followed after her.
Little Seven flew over and looked at those dead bodies. She didn’t sense anything strange about them and asked, “What’s strange about them?”
Sima You Yue examined a few of the dead bodies and said, “Haven’t you realised it yet? The wounds on the few of them are all the same. It doesn’t matter whether or not it’s deep or superficial, furthermore, they’re all dead. What does that mean?”
“What does it mean?” Everyone’s expression was as if they were experiencing a moment of clarity, but Little Seven still didn’t get it.
“This proves that they were all killed by a single person in a single move.” Sima You yue said, “The bees should have been killed at the same time.”
“Even if these people aren’t that powerful, they wouldn’t be that weak since they’re working together. However, they were wiped out in a single move. Just how powerful is the opponent?” Feng Kai gulped and the folding fan in his hand paused for a moment.
“At the very least, a monarch ranked expert.” Bi Sheng said.
“Very few monarch ranked experts have come in here. Most of them are leaders of a force.” Ximen Feng said, “If we know which forces have come in, we should be able to guess which force is in here.”
Sima You Yue shook her head, “It’s not a force, it’s a single person.”
“One person?”
“When my bees were sending me back the information, they said that it was a single person fighting against a force.” Sima You Yue said, “That’s why this isn’t a battle between two forces. It’s a person wiping out a power.”
“A monarch ranked expert who came here alone?”
These people should have already hit their limit and are trying to use their last remaining time to find a way to break through. If they are able to advance in rank, their lifespans would increase as well.” Bi Sheng guessed.
“It’s a good thing we didn’t encounter him.” Little Seven shrunk her neck in.
Sima You Yue saw the way she was acting and said with a smile, “So you have times where you’re afraid as well?”
“This isn’t fear, this is known as intelligence.” Little Seven said, “I don’t have the ability to wipe out that many people with a single move. Of course, if I evolve one more time, this would be peanuts to me.”
“You’re able to evolve again?” Han Miao Shuang asked.
“Of course! I’ve only evolved a few times alright! As long as the conditions are met, I’ll be able to evolve many times! Every time I evolve, my strength grows by leaps and bounds!” Little Seven said cockily.
“How long has it been since you just evolved? You’re already thinking about your next evolution?” Sima You Yue didn’t want her to be in such a rush and end up neglecting her current foundations that would impact her dao heart in the future.
“Yue Yue, relax. I’ll be fine.” Little Seven said, “For this evolution, although I say that wanting to become extremely powerful is one reason for it, if the opportunity arises, it’s possible to do it without it impacting my future development.”
“How do you know that it won’t?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Ah? How did I know that?” Little Seven was confused as well by her question, “It seems like I just know it because I do. But why do I?”
“It must have been passed down by tradition.” Feng Kai said.
“I don’t even have ancestors, so how would it have been passed down through tradition?” Little Seven was annoyed before she was able to come to a conclusion, so she shot Feng Kai an angry glare.
No ancestors?
Feng Kai and the others didn’t know what Little Seven’s identity was, so they never thought that she was a plant-type beast or anything like that.
Like Little Seven, Little Flowey was another plant-type spirit beast. They were both very powerful but did not have their own tradition because their memories could not be passed on that way. It was just like the divine beasts who had ancient bloodlines. Only auspicious beasts could pass on inherited memories when they unlocked their bloodline.
“Alright, if you can’t remember it then forget it.” Sima You Yue didn’t want to see her eyebrows furrowed on her little face as she patted her head, saying, “As long as you know that it’s beneficial for you, it doesn’t matter whether or not you can remember it.”
“Mmhmm.” Little Seven was not someone who would focus on the nitty gritty things. Since she couldn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t focus on it anymore.
What she didn’t know was that there were inherited memories swimming in her mind, but plant-type spirit beasts really didn’t have inherited memories…
“We don’t know what treasure lay here anyway. Since it was able to get an expert involved and to exterminate them all, on top of that, it seems like he really didn’t want to reveal the existence of the treasure.” Bi Sheng mused.
Everyone’s curiosity was piqued once again. That’s right. Just what kind of treasure was able to entice a monarch rank expert to kill everyone to silence them without any hesitation.
They were merely curious about it. They had neither the guts nor ability to figure it out. If they really encountered it, they would probably have to report about it as ghosts.
“It’s better not to think about it. Those who die in the little realms can’t go to the ghost realm.” Bi Sheng said.
“Can’t go to the ghost realm? Isn’t this place linked to the ghost realm?”
If they weren’t able to go to the ghost realm, wouldn’t they lose their second shot at life?
“This Immortal Land is a special area. When a person dies, their soul is unable to leave this place. Nobody knows why.”
“Ss- then we’d better be more careful. If we die here, it’s all over.” Ni An Yi said while rubbing his neck.
