Chu Lingwei had never encountered such a troublesome high-level spirit beast.
No matter how powerful other spirit beasts were, she could still injure them to some extent. However, the seventh-tier Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant before her was virtually impervious to harm. She had lost count of how many talismans she had thrown, yet they only managed to scratch its hide.
"Its skin is too tough. Spiritual power from the Spirit Wheel realm cannot harm it at all, so we can't get close," Feng Ming continuously spewed fire at it, only further enraging the Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant.
"Even if we got close, it would crush us," the Illusionary Cat narrowly avoided its grasp, retreating a significant step and barely making it back to Chu Lingwei's side.
Chu Lingwei took a deep breath, "If we can't win, then we run. I hope my master will come to our rescue quickly."
"Let's go."
Chu Lingwei threw another cluster of talismans behind them, buying them a little extra time, and quickly ran towards where her master had been fighting.
By the time Bei Chenfeng and Leng Xingzhi arrived, Chu Lingwei and her two spirit beasts were in a sorry state.
"A seventh-tier Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant. Its body can withstand spiritual power attacks from the Spirit Wheel realm. Ordinary magic artifacts and talismans can't harm it at all. Junior Sister will be injured."
Leng Xingzhi stood beside Bei Chenfeng, looking at his junior sister, who had just taken a pill, his brows furrowed.
A seventh-tier Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant was something that would give even him a great headache.
"Weiwei hasn't experienced much hardship usually. Today, we'll let her learn a lesson," Bei Chenfeng smiled, finding it rather amusing to watch his junior disciple being chased by a giant spirit beast.
Leng Xingzhi remained silent, stepping aside, his eyes fixed on the scene below.
Those who followed Yu Qinghong, their sect's powerful figures, had arrived much earlier and had scoured the Thin Sea Forest several times without finding any trace of Yu Qinghong.
"Are you sure there's no mistake?" Zhuo Yu, the ancestor of the Joyous Union Sect, glanced indifferently at Bei Chenfeng, then looked at Jiang Ge, who dared not deceive him.
"Ancestor, I dare to stake my life on it, I definitely saw correctly," Jiang Ge replied respectfully. "We followed him into the Thin Sea Forest, but we didn't dare to enter the inner perimeter, so..."
Jiang Ge did not continue. Few people ventured into the inner perimeter of the Thin Sea Forest, and if they were to enter casually, their lives could be in danger.
"He's not here."
Zhuo Yu's voice was clear and cold, his eyes never leaving the Thin Sea Forest.
"How is that possible?" Jiang Ge's eyes widened. He had followed the person to this place; how could he suddenly disappear?
"Zhuo Yu, you can't even find one person. How useless." Just then, a deep voice reached Zhuo Yu's ears. Everyone involuntarily looked up, seeing an ancient elder with white hair walking towards them.
Shrinking the Ground to an Inch.
They hadn't even sensed him using spiritual energy.
Everyone immediately lowered their heads. Another Imprint Realm mighty figure.
Zhuo Yu snorted and glanced at him, "Didn't you not find him either?"
"You dare to lie to me? Do you know the consequences?" Yu Chuan's eyes were filled with coldness, freezing Jiang Ge and the others to the spot. Their spiritual energy seemed to have turned to ice.
"Ancestor, I saw it with my own eyes. It's impossible to be wrong," Cheng Yu stepped forward quickly. If the ancestor caught that person, it would be a great accomplishment, an opportunity he couldn't miss.
"He couldn't have vanished into thin air," Yu Chuan frowned.
Cheng Yu's eyes darted as he looked at Jiang Ge, "Ancestor, someone must have saved him."
Zhuo Yu snorted and remained silent. Even if someone had saved him, they would have left a trace of energy.
"Zhuo Yu, what do you think?" Yu Chuan did not want to miss this opportunity. The entire Thin Sea Forest was within his sight, with no unusual signs.
"His aura is not something ordinary people can conceal," Zhuo Yu was very certain. He could still confirm this.
Yu Chuan nodded. He had found no trace of him in the Thin Sea Forest, but he had sensed his aura in a small town outside the forest.
Bei Chenfeng, knowing that two mighty figures had appeared, approached with Leng Xingzhi.
"Bei Chenfeng pays his respects to the two seniors."
"A few years have passed, and your cultivation has advanced considerably," Zhuo Yu smiled at Bei Chenfeng, acknowledging his extraordinary talent, which was beyond comparison to their disciples at the Joyous Union Sect.
"You flatter me, senior."
Bei Chenfeng smiled faintly, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes, "Are the two seniors also here to deal with the Ghost King Zhu Li?"
Yu Chuan frowned, "What does this have to do with the Ghost Clan?"
"People from the Loose Cultivator Alliance have colluded with the Ghost King Zhu Li to harm countless cultivators. The Loose Cultivator Alliance has intentionally shown favoritism." In just a few words, the matter was clarified.
"Hmph, the Loose Cultivator Alliance is becoming more and more unruly," Zhuo Yu snorted upon hearing Bei Chenfeng's words. Back then, during the great war between humans, ghosts, and demons, the human race had suffered heavy losses. He had personally experienced it.
"Senior need not worry. I have already executed those who colluded with external races. Our Spirit Cultivation Academy will definitely demand an explanation from the Loose Cultivator Alliance." Bei Chenfeng's voice was loud. The sect leaders who hadn't left couldn't help but start worrying if the Spirit Cultivation Academy would hold their earlier wavering stance against them.
Yu Chuan nodded, satisfied with Bei Chenfeng's actions.
"The young lady below, is she your disciple?" When Yu Chuan appeared here, he had already noticed Chu Lingwei being pursued by the seventh-tier Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant.
She carried the aura of the Spirit Cultivation Academy. Now that Bei Chenfeng was here, she was undoubtedly his disciple.
Bei Chenfeng looked at Chu Lingwei, who was struggling to attack the Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant, and smiled, "Her practical combat ability is too poor. She should endure some hardship."
"The Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant doesn't relentlessly chase human cultivators. Your good disciple must have taken something of its."
Cultivators who fought against heaven for their lives had to contend with these spirit beasts for cultivation resources. Currently, the most suspicious person in the entire Thin Sea Forest was Chu Lingwei, who was constantly on the run.
She was the only cultivator who had emerged from the inner perimeter of the Thin Sea Forest.
Yu Chuan was testing him.
"That is likely the case," Bei Chenfeng chuckled softly. With a wave of his right hand, a barrier appeared before Chu Lingwei, blocking the Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant's attack.
Chu Lingwei was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw Bei Chenfeng and her senior disciple standing on a magic artifact, her face filled with surprise.
"Master."
Bei Chenfeng landed on the ground and glanced at the seventh-tier Golden Horn Mammoth Ironhide Elephant. Sensing it couldn't contend with Bei Chenfeng, it roared at them twice and turned to leave.
"What did you take from it?"
Upon hearing her master's question, Chu Lingwei's body trembled. She lowered her head and said softly, "It's nothing much, just a few Longevity Fruits."
The mention of Longevity Fruits caused the cultivators present to show curiosity.
Longevity Fruits could increase a cultivator's lifespan. For those who were on the verge of death and couldn't break through, Longevity Fruits were especially important.
