Chapter 2282: Arrival!

Chapter 2282: Chapter 2282: Arrival!

The same scene, in the outer areas of Black Gold Canyon, unfolded on a large scale in a short timeframe.

In less than a day.

These demon beasts had slain at least a hundred cultivators, seizing the magic discs from their hands.

Once these demon beasts obtained the magic discs, they began to search relentlessly for the whereabouts of the Cannibal Immortal.

But strangely, as days passed, they never found any trace of the Cannibal Immortal.

On the other side, Zhou Yu and his companions were nearing their destination.

At this moment, Zhou Yu stood with his hands behind his back, atop a high mountain peak.

He looked into the distance.

Ahead lay a mountain range shrouded in Demonic Qi.

Its concentration of Demonic Qi was much denser than that of the Flying Waterfall.

"Is that our destination?"

Zhou Yu asked.

Yu Ruo, at this moment, was full of excitement.

"Yes, Senior Zhou."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Very well, let’s head over now."

Yu Ruo looked towards Yue Shan.

"Daoist Yue, are you coming with us?"

Yue Shan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Daoist Yu, as per our agreement, I’ve only brought you here; as for inside... I won’t be going in."

Yu Ruo laughed and said:

"Then, Daoist Yue, please rest here for a few days."

"At most five days, and Senior Zhou and I will definitely return."

"Alright."

Yue Shan bowed to Zhou Yu with cupped fists, then went aside to rest.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo leaped into the air, heading toward the mountain range.

Soon, the two entered the mountain range.

At this point, Yu Ruo immediately took out a Spirit Beast Bag.

Then opened the Spirit Beast Bag.

A black centipede with four wings flew out.

This was the Four-winged Black Centipede.

Yu Ruo had introduced it before, saying the Four-winged Black Centipede could locate that High Rank Demon Beast.

Yu Ruo immediately cast a spell, and the Four-winged Black Centipede let out a clear cry before quickly flying into the mountains, disappearing instantly.

After finishing this, Yu Ruo looked at Zhou Yu.

"Senior Zhou, let’s continue."

"Hmm."

Then, the two quickly followed.

With the guidance of the Four-winged Black Centipede, they soon traversed nearly a thousand miles.

Oddly enough, they hadn’t encountered a single demon beast along the way.

This situation made Zhou Yu even more alert.

For in such situations, it only indicated there was an exceedingly powerful demon beast in the area.

This was its territory.

Thus, within its territory, there were no other demon beasts present.

At that moment, the Four-winged Black Centipede suddenly halted in the sky ahead.

It hovered incessantly before a low mountain peak.

Seeing this, Yu Ruo became revitalized.

"Senior Zhou, we’ve arrived."

"This is it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu instantly flashed to the foot of this low mountain peak.

He activated the Eye of Destruction, inspecting the surrounding environment.

However, after a thorough examination, aside from the dense Demonic Qi, he found nothing unusual.

At this time, Yu Ruo came to Zhou Yu’s side and cast another spell, causing the Four-winged Black Centipede to soar into the air and charge towards a smooth cliff face.

The next moment, the Four-winged Black Centipede disappeared on the cliff’s surface.

As it vanished, a bright light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

He had realized.

It was indeed an entrance.

However, due to the peculiar terrain and intense Demonic Qi, Zhou Yu had overlooked this fact.

At this point, Yu Ruo said to Zhou Yu:

"Senior Zhou, please protect me."

"I will control the Four-winged Black Centipede to observe the situation inside."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Alright."

After saying this, Yu Ruo sat cross-legged and began controlling the Four-winged Black Centipede.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The Four-winged Black Centipede suddenly flew out of the entrance, quickly returning to rest on Yu Ruo’s shoulder.

Following this, Yu Ruo opened her eyes.

Her face was full of excitement.

"Senior Zhou, we arrived just in time."

"That demon beast is asleep."

"It appears to be in a deep slumber."

"We can seize this opportunity to severely wound it, or best to kill it with one strike."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, I understand."

"Wait outside, to ensure you’re not affected."

Yu Ruo quickly nodded.

"Yes, Senior."

With that, Zhou Yu flashed and entered the entrance.

Watching Zhou Yu’s figure disappear into the entrance.

Suddenly, a voice was heard.

"Finally, I can speak."

"Now that the youngster is gone, we can proceed with our task."

As those words were spoken, a purple shadow appeared before Yu Ruo.

Yu Ruo shook her head.

"Not now."

"Why not?"

Yu Ruo said:

"Senior Zhou’s strength is far beyond what I imagined, we must wait until he battles that High Rank Demon Beast before we act."

Hearing this, the purple shadow chuckled.

"I don’t understand how someone your age can be so cautious."

Yu Ruo said solemnly:

"Caution is not a bad thing."

"As you wish."

Meanwhile, on the outer edge of the mountain range.

Yue Shan was meditating.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and in front of him, a bead silently appeared.

Moreover, Spiritual Light was flickering rapidly on the bead.

Yue Shan’s face changed; he immediately stood up, about to leave the place.

However, the moment he rose, a strong aura locked onto him.

Yue Shan’s body froze, then he looked up to see a figure appearing before him.

This person was none other than the ghostly figure who had previously clashed with Zhou Yu.

Yue Shan’s heart sank, but he forced a smile on his face.

"So it’s Ghost Senior."

The ghostly man looked at Yue Shan coldly.

"Unexpected to meet you here, isn’t it?"

Yue Shan’s face changed.

"Ghost Senior, junior doesn’t understand what you mean."

The ghostly man sneered and then glanced around.

"Where’s that young one?"

Yue Shan hurriedly replied:

"Senior Zhou went there."

Yue Shan immediately pointed in the direction Zhou Yu and Yu Ruo had gone.

He was afraid of provoking the ghostly figure.

However, the ghostly man merely sneered again.

"In that case, let’s send you on your way first!"

With that, a surge of powerful Evil Qi erupted from the ghostly man’s body.

Yue Shan’s face changed, as if he was prepared, he directly struck the bead before him with his palm.

That bead flickered with gray Spiritual Light, shooting towards the ghostly man.

In midair, the bead exploded thunderously.

A powerful gray energy stream rushed at the ghostly man.

But it wasn’t over; Yue Shan swiftly drew three Jade Talismans, throwing them at the ghostly man.

Meanwhile, he himself quickly retreated, fleeing to the distance.

At this sight, the ghostly man sneered.

"Tricks of the trade!"

He raised his hand, and with a palm strike, both the gray energy stream and the three Jade Talismans were instantly engulfed by Evil Qi, vanishing without a trace.

Afterwards, the ghostly man pointed at Yue Shan’s retreating figure.

An Evil Qi shot out instantaneously...
