Chapter 150 Stone Mountain
Chapter 150 Stone Mountain
"Have you seen enough, sir?"
Gu Lingwei glanced at him coldly, expressing her displeasure at Ye Kang's admiring look.
Ye Kang clicked his tongue and said, "Miss, you've misunderstood me. The scenery is just right, and it would be impolite of me not to appreciate it."
"Your Excellency is glib and smooth-talking, but you've chosen the wrong person. My father, Gu Changlin, is the sect leader of the Overlord Spear Sect. He taught me from a young age that when you encounter a lecherous rogue like yourself, just kill him."
Gu Lingwei snorted coldly, but she had no way to get rid of the mud on her body. It was the middle of nowhere, and she had no clothes to change into.
We can only try our luck and see if we can find a pool of clean water to wash ourselves.
Ye Kang found it amusing upon hearing this.
This guy is clever; he knows how to use his father's name to intimidate himself.
Gu Changlin?
It must have been that eighth-rank expert who first questioned Sect Leader Yunhe in the deep waters.
Ye Kang didn't expose her, but instead showed a frightened expression and said, "So it's Sect Leader Gu's daughter. I was too presumptuous. I really shouldn't have joked with you. Please go ahead, and let's hurry up and find that precious plant."
"You know the truth."
Gu Lingwei breathed a sigh of relief, but she kept her grip on the spear tightly, fearing that Ye Kang might suddenly make a move.
After all, judging from his strength, I definitely can't beat him, so I can only prepare to escape with serious injuries.
Both of them had their own agendas and schemes.
But Gu Lingwei was not lying to Ye Kang. There really was a body-tempering plant in the place she had teleported to. However, when she tried to pick it, a burst of demonic energy suddenly erupted, which scared her away.
That demonic aura was extremely powerful, definitely not something a fifth-grade innate being could touch.
That's why she settled for second best and found this big turtle, intending to pick on the easy target.
There's no other way now, so we have to go back.
The two crossed three small hills, passed through at least two mangrove forests, and traversed dozens of small swamps before finally arriving at the location where Gu Lingwei had first teleported.
This is a very strange area. It looks like a pure rocky mountain surrounded by swamps, but there is a large hillside that rises up here.
There were no plants on the hillside, only countless rocks.
Most importantly, looking far into the distance to the top of the rocky mountain, there is a bright red flower standing there, exposed to the wind and rain.
It's strange that the flower could take root on the bare, rocky mountain without any soil.
Gu Lingwei said, "This is it. If I remember correctly, that flower is a top-grade body-tempering plant called Stone Heart Fire Core. It is said that it only grows on rocks, and wherever it is, no other plant can survive. It is extremely helpful for the physical body of a body-tempering martial artist."
"I see."
Ye Kang nodded, appearing calm on the surface, but his heart was pounding with excitement.
This is the first time I've ever seen a top-grade body-tempering plant; even the Jade Lotus Root hasn't reached this level!
If I could obtain it, wouldn't my physical cultivation level skyrocket?
However, a treasure with such an obvious growth environment would not only attract the two people who want to seize it.
Sure enough, on the hillside, martial artists from various factions were already desperately climbing upwards.
Gu Lingwei sneered, "A bunch of reckless fools. They'll be crying their way down the mountain in a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew up on the hillside, and then more than a dozen large lizards, the same color as the stones, suddenly darted out from their hiding places and launched an attack on the group of martial artists.
In the chaos, several weaker martial artists were caught off guard and devoured by the lizards, while the rest fled in panic.
This scene immediately shocked the martial artists still at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Kang glanced at them and said, "The strongest of these lizards is only at the fifth rank. I'm afraid they won't be able to scare Miss Gu away."
Gu Lingwei said, "Nonsense, if there were only these lizards, how could these people have the chance to seize the treasure? There's a big guy hidden up on the mountain, but its demonic aura was too terrifying, and I didn't even have time to see what it was."
"so smart?"
Ye Kang carefully sensed the surroundings and did find a few Rank 6 lizards, but he figured that even Rank 6 lizards couldn't possibly frighten Gu Lingwei like that.
Before he could figure it out, he heard the noisy shouts of the martial artists below the mountain.
"The Fairy of the Flying Clouds Sect has arrived!"
"Damn it! We've lost our chance now, everyone should disperse."
The martial artists retreated as if they had seen a terrifying figure.
Then, a beautiful woman carrying a long sword and dressed in gorgeous robes walked towards the stone mountain with a cold face.
Gu Lingwei frowned and said, "I've already brought you to Baozhi. The rest is none of my business. Please do as you please."
She was about to leave after she finished speaking, and Ye Kang did not stop her. However, unexpectedly, the Fairy of the Nightingale also noticed the disheveled Gu Lingwei. She immediately smiled and flew directly towards the two of them.
"Who do we have here? It's Ling Wei's niece. What a coincidence to meet you in the secret realm! What happened to you? How did you get covered in mud? But your pretty face is clean."
The Nightingale Fairy chuckled, a laugh tinged with an eeriness.
Ye Kang glanced at her and found that the woman was pretty and had a good figure, but her eyes revealed a ruthless side.
Her strength should be at the seventh rank of the middle realm. Without even glancing at Ye Kang, she casually pulled Gu Lingwei back with a wave of her hand.
“Niece, don’t run away! It’s so rare to see you, why are you being so distant? I’m not going to eat you. On the contrary, I love you the most.”
Gu Lingwei was forcibly taken back. Her face darkened, and she shouted sharply, "You vixen! Don't touch me!"
"What did you call me? A vixen? How dare you insult me like that!"
The Fairy of the Nightingale's eyes hardened, and she slapped him across the face with her backhand.
With a slap, a handprint appeared on Gu Lingwei's face, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
The Fairy of the Nightingale's expression twisted slightly as she stared intently at Gu Lingwei, saying, "Yes, it's just like her. Your eyes are exactly the same as your mother's..."
Gu Lingwei glared at her as well. Upon hearing this, she opened her mouth and said, word by word, "You are not worthy to mention it..."
Snapped!
There was another crisp sound.
A second slap landed.
"Did I tell you to speak? Your father isn't here today, so I'm going to teach you a lesson about respect and hierarchy!"
The two were talking very loudly, and not only Ye Kang, but also more than a dozen martial artists at the foot of the rocky mountain heard them and were all dumbfounded.
Wow!
There is melon!
But this gossip doesn't sound so good!
Sure enough, Fairy Liuying turned her head and glanced at Ye Kang, then looked at the others and said coldly, "Everyone, since you've come to seize the treasure, you're not leaving. I'll count to three, and everyone will go climb the mountain."
As soon as he finished speaking, the martial artists looked at each other.
The Nightingale Fairy then spoke.
"one."
Immediately, someone couldn't help but say, "Fairy, you're being too domineering! I'm from the Gathering Sands Gang. Although we're not as powerful as your Flying Clouds Sect, we're not to be trifled with!"
Swish swish!
Suddenly, the long sword behind Fairy Wanderer flew out automatically, and then unleashed a purple sword aura, instantly cleaving the speaker in two.
"You seem to have made a mistake. I am not discussing this with you."
"two!"
