Chapter 786: Protecting the West Alone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Blood Tide Forest, everyone felt unsafe.

They sensed that the current forest was different from what they had known before.

This place was very stable before. It was calm and not too terrifying.

Even if there was something, it was easily avoidable.

It was different now.

There were many threats.

The anomalies that only happened at night were now visible in the day.

The beasts that only emerged at night before were rampant in the daytime.

They didn’t even Imow how to evade them, especially since they emitted an eerie aura as if they would devour everything around them.

The most frightening part was that they couldn’t escape, no matter how many times they tried.

Among those who were most distressed were Xiao Li and her three companions.

‘Why can’t we find any food lately?” Xiao Li pouted and patted her stomach.

The woman in white, Bai Shuang, looked at the girl before her and felt horrified.

During this time, Xiao Li had been intimidating everyone. Anyone who provoked her ended up dead with a single punch.

Yet she seemed unaware of it. She wondered why people fled when they saw her.

When a blue light emanated from her, she was unstoppable.

If she got angry, the consequences were severe.

But when she wasn’t angry, she was easy to talk to.

She would listen intently to their suggestions, except when it came to destroying the cannibalistic forest.

Because of the disappearance of that forest, things changed.

The ecosystem was broken.

It seemed like something was about to emerge from the ground.

They sensed it.

The terrifying aura made them collapse to the ground in fear.

But when Xiao Li muttered something toward the ground, that thing retreated. It seemed afraid to offend her.

They increasingly felt that a little devil who feared neither heaven nor earth had arrived.

“Shall we change places and go find my senior brother?” Xiao Li suddenly asked.

“Leave from here?” Bai Shuang hesitated. “Where should we go?”

Xiao Li pointed in a direction. “Over there. We can ask as we go. If they know the Beast, then they are friendly. If not, they’re not friends, and we do not need to respect them.”

The three were speechless.

Who was this beast?

They dared not ask.

But soon, someone did.

After they set off, they met someone who asked who the “Beast” was.

Xiao Li said, “A great demon of heaven and earth. A chaotic powerhouse.”

Only then did the other person understand why Xiao Li could act so recklessly. It turned out she had the support of a great demon of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, she looked like a child, so as long as they were nice to her, there wouldn’t be a problem.

So, they said they knew the Beast she spoke of.

As friends, they naturally gave her directions.

“The Golden Core area is around that way,” said a man and pointed toward Moon Lake. “It’s usually near Moon Lake.”

Xiao Li politely thanked them and continued with Bai Shuang and the others. She was very excited.

As long as she found Senior Brother Tianc. she wouldn’t have to worrv about starving.

After much effort, the few who were already on the edge finally left the Blood Tide Forest.

The moment Xiao Li left, the forest seemed to relax.

Soon, the eerie aura gradually diminished.

Looking back at the Blood Tide Forest, the three couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. They felt that the forest was much more dangerous than the Golden Core area.

Of course, the danger was solely because of Jiang Xiao Li.

Wherever Xiao Li went, danger followed.

They were curious whether Jiang Xiao Li’s senior brother could handle it.

A Golden Core Realm cultivator probably couldn’t.

The three exchanged doubtful glances.

They felt like they were walking a path of no return.

Once they did, it would be difficult to return to their area.

Without Jiang Xiao Li, they couldn’t move an inch.

At midnight, Jiang Hao activated the Yin Yang Bracelet.

He simultaneously activated the Heavenly Cauldron.

Then, he entered the stone tablet.

When he arrived, the others were already in position.

After exchanging greetings with Senior Dan Yuan, the five of them sat cross-legged on the floor. “Any issues with your cultivation?”

No one spoke.

Their cultivation progress wasn’t that rapid.

“Any news about the Saint’s Pages?” Dan Yuan asked.

“I heard they’re at the Thousand Spirit Lake in the west, but many have gone there with no results,” Zhang said.

“Members from the Bright Moon Sect seem to be searching for the pages as well. They cast a divination and found that these pages are extremely unique, challenging to detect, and even more challenging to comprehend. All they know is that the pages have surfaced, but they’re unsure of what exactly it is or whether someone has acquired them,” Xing said. He had examined the pages and found discrepancies. The pages seemed quite extraordinary.

“There’s some information from overseas too. Rumor has it that there have been changes in the Abyssal Sea. People from the Heavenly Tower suggest that the pages might be there,” Liu said.

“There’s no information from the southern region.” Gui shook her head.

Many things existed in the south, yet it remained the region with the least information available.

Jiang Hao remained silent.

The others looked at him.

However, he didn’t speak. So, everyone paid him no further attention.

“These ancient pages seem to be somewhat different this time. They deserve some attention,” Dan Yuan said.

The others nodded.

It appeared that these ancient pages were indeed unique.

After Senior Dan Yuan finished discussing the new tasks, it was time for the group to exchange information.

“I’m still interested in the location of… that person,” Zhang said. “Is the person more important or the book?” Jiang Hao asked.

His voice was low.

“The book is more important, but without finding that person, we won’t get the book,” Zhang said firmly.

“I have the book,” Jiang Hao said.

Zhang was surprised but didn’t question him because Jing was the sort of person who had made the Astronomical Academy obey his suggestions with just a few words.

“Can I know the content of the book?” Zhang asked.

“Sure.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He then looked at Senior Dan Yuan.

Soon, a stone tablet appeared before them.

Jiang Hao left all the content of the “Ancient and Modern Book” on it, including the final sentence.

After she finished reading it, Zhang was shocked.

This… wasn’t the same “Ancient and Modern Book” she had read, but she knew that this book was definitely not fake.

This one seemed more important, perhaps even… authentic.

She was excited. If she obtained the genuine one, the rewards would be unimaginable.

She hesitated. “What price do I need to pay?

“Ensure the safety and well-being of someone in the western region… at least temporarily. Can you make sure they aren’t targeted by other sects?” Jiang Hao said.

This surprised the others.

Who exactly was this person who deserved such protection from Jing?

Zhang was surprised, but she believed she could manage it.

This request wasn’t as valuable as the book anyway. Making sure someone was safe wasn’t very difficult.

“Fine. I hope to obtain the physical copy of the book.”

“No problem. But you’ll need to retrieve it yourself or have someone else do it for you.”

“Hmm?” Zhang was quite puzzled.

“We haven’t used a teleportation channel for trade with Friend Jing yet. If needed, I can act as an intermediary,” said Gui with a smile. “However, I would require a small piece of information in return… like where the Moon Wheel might appear next.”

She wanted to go and search for the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment to see if she could meet them.

The southern region was getting dangerous, and she wished to get out of there..
