TVSS Chapter 86

Su Jingxuan is not very familiar with the world he has just arrived in. All the information he has comes from the mouths of two other children. Even though he knows that the Night Yaksha larva is a treasure for the cultivators here, he has no practical concept of what makes it valuable.

At this moment, when their struggling is discovered, the old man immediately recognizes them, and his eyes light up with excitement. There is no trace of the dignified immortal demeanor; instead, he appears eager and desirous.

For every cultivator, a treasure that can promote growth is extremely tempting.

“So it’s the Night Yaksha larva. No wonder the two Dao friends are so wary of this old man. Since you’ve both seen it, why not share one larva with me? I won’t ask for nothing. How about a hundred high-grade spirit stones, plus three thousand-year Purple Lingzhi mushrooms? Let’s establish a good relationship with my Yunhai Sect,” the old man proposes.

Although the old man appears righteous, he is shameless in reality. Night Yaksha larvae are rare and precious, and seeing them today is an opportunity that cannot be missed.

“Spit! You haven’t changed a bit in hundreds of years, you old scoundrel. No wonder you were assigned to guard the spirit mine here. Just a named elder, and you dare use the name of the Yunhai Sect to suppress us? Shameless! Senior Brother, let’s go,” the stout and thin cultivator angrily says. Despite the allure of thousand-year herbs and high-grade spirit stones, they are nothing compared to the precious Night Yaksha larva. Moreover, using the reputation of the Yunhai Sect to intimidate them is too much.

“Want to leave? Leave the things behind first!”

Without further ado, the old man seizes the opportunity and directly attempts to snatch their belongings. In this world, the strong are respected, and whoever is stronger dictates the terms. If there is a fight, the powerful prevail.

Seeing that a fight is imminent, the low-cultivation guards and mining cultivators in the vicinity quickly drop their belongings and hide to avoid being inadvertently harmed.

“Now’s the chance!” Su Jingxuan signals the two children to make an effort to break free.

Outside, the three cultivators continue to clash. The old man dares to snatch directly because he is confident. With cultivation higher than the other two, even if he is alone, he can still win in a fight. The situation remains at a standoff for a while.

Su Jingxuan pays no attention to the ongoing fight. In any case, the three won’t direct their attacks at them. He focuses on tearing through the prohibition restraining them, while the two Night Yaksha children exert their utmost efforts under the threat to break free.

After a while, Su Jingxuan and the two children simultaneously break the restriction. Seizing the opportunity amidst the intense fight, they immediately run out.

“Oh no, the little things have escaped! Catch them quickly!”

Seeing black smoke scattering from the cage, the stout and thin cultivator and the old man shout in unison, immediately alerting the guards and mining cultivators in the vicinity.

However, due to their intense earlier clash, the others are afraid of getting involved and retreat far away. They don’t have time to rush over.

It’s not that Su Jingxuan is particularly kind-hearted and wants to save the two children. Self-preservation is challenging for him at the moment. Still, he doesn’t mind lending a helping hand.

After all, he is too unfamiliar with this world. He needs these two ‘guides’ to show him the way. Otherwise, as a precious Night Yaksha larva that everyone wants to seize, he might unknowingly run into danger.

The stout and thin cultivator and the old man quickly react and chase after them. They think the small creatures can’t run far. However, Night Yaksha spirits are born from the heavens and earth. Su Jingxuan and the two children use a concealment technique, instantly disappearing with just a breath.

“Someone, search the mountains!”

Seeing the disappearance, the old man immediately realizes what happened. He waves his hand, instructing his subordinates to stop their work and search the mountains. The three larvae are weak, and they surely can’t run far. Looking confident, he disregards the original owner of the creatures and acts as if catching them is already a certainty.

“Liu Old Man, we’ll remember this debt between us!”

Regardless of how angry and furious the stout and thin cultivator and the old man are, Su Jingxuan pulls the two Night Yaksha children to escape desperately.

Their stamina is limited, and running outwards is almost impossible. Once they run out of energy, the stout and thin cultivator will catch them. Even encountering other ordinary spirit beasts could lead to them being devoured.

Therefore, the only plan for now is to follow the old method: the most dangerous place is the safest. They head towards the stronghold of these people. With numerous mining cultivators and chaotic personnel, the targets are dispersed. As long as they can survive the current pursuit, finding a place to hide and rest before escaping would be feasible.

The two Night Yaksha children are panicking, relying on Su Jingxuan to find the escape route. However, he is also unfamiliar with the area, so they can only follow their instincts to run in what seems like a safe direction.

Suddenly, not far ahead, there appears to be a secluded valley. The entire valley may not have a particularly beautiful scenery, but it is rich in spiritual energy and enveloped by a gentle protective prohibition. It looks like a hidden retreat for someone special.

Just as they had just hidden and caught their breaths, the fat and thin monks and the old man had indeed caught up.

“Who trespasses in my forbidden place, disturbing my cultivation…”

Everyone stopped landing, and the protective restrictions in the valley began to ripple. A clear and cold male voice sounded, devoid of any emotion. However, Su Jingxuan clearly felt that the owner of the valley was probably not too pleased.

Elder Liu, upon hearing this voice, showed a slightly wary expression. He dared not recklessly intrude and respectfully replied, “Your Highness, forgive me; it’s just an old man…”

The fat and thin monks seemed to have guessed who it was, and their faces changed slightly. Despite not daring to barge in recklessly, the treasure they had worked hard to find made them reluctant to give up.

“We were unaware that Your Highness Baiyin was cultivating here. We hope for Your Highness’s forgiveness. It’s just that the spiritual beast my junior brother and I were searching for accidentally got lost here. The little thing ended up in your esteemed sect’s spiritual mine and intruded here. We hope Your Highness can facilitate and allow us to go in and search. The Qiling Sect is truly grateful…”

The words were polite and respectful, but they contained various twists and turns. The final words even brought up the name of their sect, subtly reminding of their influence.

It wasn’t surprising that the fat and thin monks behaved this way. Elder Liu from a moment ago was just an outer elder of the Yunhai Sect, not a true member. Offending him wouldn’t matter much, but the person in the valley was Ji Baiyin, the crucial son of the Yunhai Sect’s sect master!

If it were only this, relying on the Yunhai Sect’s power would be enough. However, the issue was that Ji Baiyin was not just an influential figure in the Yunhai Sect; he was also a formidable cultivator in the later stages of the Nascent Soul realm. Killing them would be effortless for him. If he refused to let them enter the valley, they would have no choice but to admit defeat.

How could they give up on such a precious treasure? They could only hope that Ji Baiyin would be reasonable, consider their sect’s face, and make things convenient for them.

Unfortunately, Elder Liu next to them wasn’t inclined to fulfill their wishes. He immediately stepped forward, shouting towards the valley surrounded by the protective restrictions.

“Clearly, it’s this old man’s greed wanting to snatch the treasure, shameless!” The fat and thin monks were infuriated; Elder Liu was truly shameless.

“Enough. I don’t have time for this. All of you, get out.”

The quarrel among the three irritated the people in the valley. The clear and cold voice, with a hint of chill, resonated again. Accompanied by the fluctuations of the valley’s restrictions, a gust of wind appeared, directly lifting the three and throwing them out.

The disparity in strength was so straightforward.

The two little demons stared in amazement, and Su Jingxuan’s heart pounded. Instantly, he understood that the people in the valley were even more difficult to provoke. He immediately grabbed the little demons next to him and hurriedly left.

Unfortunately, his luck was not great. Just as he stood up, his body was immobilized, a force pulling the three of them into the valley’s restrictions.

The clear and cold voice sounded again. Following the voice, Su Jingxuan raised his head and saw a handsome man with narrow eyes, a cold temperament, and dressed in a white robe walking towards him.
