8 Spiritual Forest

Yuanshan County, South Central Spiritual Forest Area

There was a man sitting behind a rectangular table where there were some documents with numbers and names written in an orderly way, around him a woman was looking at each document with a serious expression while she signed or discarded some of said documents

"What is the King of the North thinking?" The man muttered as he contemplated and then he turned his gaze to the woman next to him "My scouts have seen him leave regularly along with a small group of his subordinates."

The woman pulled her hair up back she showed a reflective look "Maybe he's looking for a new home to live in? With that mysterious man living so close to all of us he must feel nervous"

"It could be ..." The man nodded however doubts were still visible in his expression "But I don't trust that treacherous Wolf"

Hearing that, the woman nodded in agreement, then she shifted her gaze to a blood-red Lioness, this Lioness was a Spiritual Beast of the Golden Core Stage.

"What has Little Lu'er been up to now?"

At the question of the woman who was holding some documents, the lioness in the corner of the room purred before speaking "Princess Cao is currently in the interior area of ​​our territory"

Nodding, the woman put the documents on the circular table and got up slowly "That means that silly girl really has no intention of leaving the Spiritual Forest that is a relief"

The blood-colored Lioness nodded, however this time it was the man who spoke in her place "Tell me something ... Is my daughter still close to that human woman?"

Yes, they had previously been notified that their little daughter had become incredibly friends with a human cultivator, that left both parents very surprised and at the same time cautious.

But as her daughter was being taken care of from things by her own subordinates they weren't too worried, showing a confused 'expression' on her feline face she continued "Yes, it seems Princess Cao and that woman have become very close friends during this time, time because of this Princess Cao stopped insisting on leaving the Spiritual Forest "

Nodding to themselves both parents looked at each other before sighing, it was quite obvious that for their daughter as a Princess having sincere friends was very difficult to find, does that mean that her little daughter was placing all her hopes of friendship on a human woman?

"Hopefully that human is really good-hearted" The man blurted out those words before putting the documents on the table, his eyes reflectively closed.

There was a moment when suddenly a small eagle alighted on the window, this eagle carried a red document with him, there were different colors to identify the documents and red meant an important notice

Opening the document, the woman showed a curious look before feeling a bit worried. "Three humans have been seen entering the outer area of ​​inside territory, why are there suddenly so many humans entering our territories these days?"

At that moment the man opened his eyes before shaking his head "I don't know either ... But with my daughter outside I can't allow so many humans to enter my territories ..."

Inner Area of ​​the Spirit Forest

Pa! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of collisions rang out habitually as a group of three humans made their way forward.

"Why are these Berserk Beasts really so eager to die?" A stout man shook his head in exasperation.

Since they entered the Interior area they had only been fighting without having a chance that they could freely search for clues, Su Fei took a step forward at that moment "Don't let your guard down, we have to keep mobilizing before night falls on or if no our trip will have been in vain"

Both men nodded in total agreement, since they all set foot inside the Inner Area they had come across many Berserk Beasts that tried to confront them.

But there was something that made everyone feel a little uneasy, where were the Spirit Beasts? It was very strange that they, having entered the Inner Area, they did not find any

But this made the trip easier for them, Su Fei looked at the piece of green cloth in her hands with mixed feelings, she blamed herself for what happened to Ji Su

Previously, she had to be the leader of the mission to escort merchandise to the Hidden Moon Village, however because she wanted to visit her parents she had to leave the command to Lady Xu and retire

Doesn't that mean that she was the one to blame for what might be happening to Ji Su right now? At least she felt guilty

"Uh? ..." Su Fei stopped walking at that moment as his soft eyes fluctuated "Stop, we're surrounded ...!"

"How unique you are, I am interested in knowing how you could know about our presence"

By the time everyone heard the voice, from a nearby bush a Flaming Crimson Lion casually came out leaving a small trail of flames in each footstep.

As if it was not much that a Spirit Beast appeared, at this moment there was another sound from the left side and a Lampiño Gorilla with a metal club in his hands appeared.

"And what does it matter if that woman noticed our presence? It doesn't change the fact that they ended up being surrounded by us."

"Good point..."

As both Spirit Beasts chatted, three figures also surrounded the humans forming a circle around them, Su Fei and her group felt their hearts start to beat quite strongly.

Both of these chattering Spirit Beasts were powerful Establishment Foundation beings in the Intermediate Stage.

Being Su Fei the only Establishment Foundation Stage cultivators present, her chances of winning against these two Spirit Beasts were very rare.

"I say, do we run now?"

"Run? Where are we going to run? We are surrounded, idiot ..." Responding the robust man sighed to himself looking at his friends with a determined expression on his face

Weren't they destined to find these kinds of dangers meddling in this dangerous place that even their Sect Leader didn't dare to enter?

The Lion looked at the three humans with his feline eyes, he was sent to this place by his King with the sole mission of killing the three intruders

"Okay little humans, will it happen to you if we play now?"

Hearing the mocking words come from the Crimson Lion, Su Fei bit her soft lips tightly before looking at the two men beside her

"Guys I have a method to escape, however ... My body will be too weak at that time, I will be counting on you "

The two men upon hearing that there was a way to escape nodded with serious looks on their faces, instantly they took a step back giving space to Su Fei.

However their actions made the Spirit Beasts feel a bit confused before they felt they understood something

"Are they giving us the human female as a snack?"

"... No, it seems that they want to give it to us as a bribe, what a pity for them that we are not like the fool Brother Pig interested in human girls" With disdain in his gaze the Gorilla hairless snorted while he himself felt that he had achieved decipher these humans' thoughts in seconds

But the spoken words made both human men's faces twitch hard, who was giving Su Fei as a bribe? You bastard, if both men could have beat this annoying hairlessGorilla they would still be beating him with rage!

Ignoring those who spoke around her, Su Fei closed her eyes as she very gently waved the blue fan in her hands as if she was practicing Wushu, each movement combined with slight flows of Wind element Qi, this immediately caused both Spirit Beasts to go cautious

"Wind? Ouch! Hell, you three retreat! Flaming Lion's Roar!"

"All of you back!" Screaming the hairless Gorilla raised his hands high before hitting them hard towards the ground "Displacement of the Earth!"

Both Spirit Beasts released their attacks with the intention of eliminating this threat as quickly as possible, yet they did not expect Su Fei's preparations to complete her technique to be completed so quickly.

"Now guys !, Pseudo-Heavenly ​Grade Technique: Rage of the Holy Storm!"

The instant Su Fei's soft cry escaped her lips the air around seemed to stagnate and immediately contracted into a single position, both Spirit Beasts were shocked as light scratches formed on their bodies just from the air that was being drawn to form a massive tornado in front of them

Only a second had passed when the Tornado fully materialized, at that moment as if said tornado had eyes, it pounced towards the two Spirit Beasts impacting against the two previously launched attacks

BANG!

Everyone breathed heavily when the deafening blast like an immensely powerful wind sent gusts unleashed in all directions, the most unfortunate being the three weakest Spiritual Beasts, they flew like kites back with force.

Both Spiritual Beasts of the Establishment Foundation Stage had to hurriedly defend themselves and were inevitably thrown ten steps back, when everything returned to normal and they were able to look at their surroundings they swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

There in the center where the three attacks had collided a massive craters formed, there the elements Wind, Fire and Earth seemed to still be present giving a shiver in their spines.

"That was ... uh?" The Crimson Lion suddenly seemed to realize something important

He couldn't visualize the humans anywhere, were they wiped out by the scattered blasts of power? Impossible

"They are running away! You three get up now!"

Su Fei was in a weakened state due to her sea of ​​Qi immediately drying up after unleashing a Pseudo-Celestial technique while in the Establishment Foundation Stage, looking back she could see the figures of the Spirit Beasts following them in the distance

"That attack only served to buy us some time, however at this rate it won't be long for them to catch up with us"

"I know, you don't have to repeat it to me if? We just have to run towards the exit of the Spiritual Forest and we'll be fine."

The Spirit Beasts would not dare to leave their territories, as long as these three humans left the Spirit Forest their lives were assured.

However ... They were aware that with their current speed escaping was just a dream, Su Fei looked at both men and showed a soft smile on her face.

These two people were with her since she joined the Sect, throughout her years they formed a friendship even when she was much weaker than these two men they did not treat her with arrogance and actually helped her in her different missions.

You could say that she got to where she is now standing thanks to the help received by these two people

They were his best friends, both men also had these thoughts and smiled involuntarily, at least dying with their friends was better than doing it alone

"Guys ... I really appreciate you very much" Su Fei spoke weakly with a beaming smile on her face

The two men looked at her before laughing "What is there to be thankful for? We are friends that is the important thing"

"That's true ... Will we meet again in another life?"

"We will definitely do it!" They answered affirmatively with smiles on their faces

As they smiled they were soon caught up, looking at the five Spirit Beasts being so close to them, the sturdy man showed a casual smile preparing to remove an item from his storage ring that would destroy everything around him.

Just when that man was about to search inside his storage ring, a fluctuation of Qi around shook everyone present.

BOOM!

Immediately a rumbling explosion caused the trees and the earth to shudder, raising their gazes, everyone opened their mouths in surprise when a colossal black body flew over them before crashing into some trees in the distance.

Everyone was equally stunned, the hairless Gorilla looked at the black body in the distance before his eyes narrowed and he grabbed the Crimson Lion by its tail before running away into the distance dragging his friend.

Su Fei and her group were in awe of this event, did they run that easy?

"Is that ... a Berserk Beast?" Su Fei muttered in a questioning tone towards his friends who nodded with peculiar expressions on their faces, when all of them were confused, the Berserk Beast slowly rose from the ground.

Its height was very similar to a massive tree, it was a dark-skinned rhinoceros with an absolutely sharp horn, it exuded a chilling air around it capable of causing an immense panic.

"What a surprise that you are still alive ..."

At that moment Su Fei and her group heard a female voice, before they could even react, the head of the rhinoceros in the distance immediately cut off without hindrance.

A single oslizacion of a jet black spear had cut the life of an immense Berserk Beast, that made everyone fell silent when looking at the person who was holding the spear in his hands, it was a delicate woman who appeared to be eighteen years old with soft and pale skin

This youthful-looking woman had slightly dark hair with braided white stripes and dazzling white eyes, however what caught her attention the most was her seductive and tempting figure that made her think of her as a succubus.

She had impressive plump breasts that were being squeezed by a golden metallic piece that left her soft stomach and navel in plain sight, her lower part was being covered by a metallic skirt of the same color using with her sandals that if Ling Tian were here

He would undoubtedly think that this stunning woman had come from the Roman period of his previous life.

But although this youthful woman was extremely seductive to the point that all the men would go crazy for possessing her the gaze of the two men in the group was directed towards the woman's forehead where two cow horns protruded.

She was a Spirit Beast, she had a Establishment Foundation Cultivation in the Intermediate Stage, however that made the three humans even more cautious.

Only the Spiritual Beasts of the Golden Core could have Demi-Human forms, so how did this woman have a demi-human form without having reached that level?

As the three humans analyzed the cow-horned woman, she did so briefly as well before losing interest.

She swung her spear forcefully before throwing it into the distance as if trying to take down an enemy, unconsciously the three humans followed the path of the spear.

Where the spear was headed, there was a woman in red robes and a Berserk Beast having an arduous battle, they observed how that woman moved elegantly using the Wind element around in an extraordinary way.

By the time the spear was about to hit the sword of this red-robed woman, she seemed to detect it and her body moved slightly to her right side.

"Grr!"

Splash!

That Berserk Beast could not even move before the spear was embedded in the middle of its forehead, at that moment a leg forcefully pushed the spear forward, completely penetrating the forehead of said Beast, killing it on the spot.

By the time the woman turned around, everyone could see her fully, she had an elegant figure and a soft face, brown eyes combined with short brown hair.

But none of the three humans were interested in appreciating her beauty, they opened their eyes with excitement when they realized something important here

Taking slow steps due to their weakened state, the two men supported Su Fei who showed a look full of happiness on her face.

"Ah! ... ¡Ji SU!"

If the woman in red robes, was Ji Su ...

At that very moment in the distance two women cautiously moved through an area full of bushes before reaching a hidden path, looking at their desolate surroundings they let out soft sighs.

"Ms. Lin is this path from here that you must follow to reach the Foot of Heavenly Mountain ... Are you sure of this?"

Ms. Lin looked at the path that had many bushes around her before nodding with a firm expression "I am aware of the danger Ms. Tang, I have made a decision and I will not back down, from this point I will mobilize myself"

Hearing Ms. Lin's words, Tang Lingxi could only nod with a defeated expression, she still totally disagreed with this woman who insisted on reaching Heavenly Mountain, but there was nothing she could do to stop her.

That is why she decided to give him at least a way to get to that place safely, however, when Tang Lingxi looked at the path behind the bushes, her beautiful face showed pain as the tormenting memories were in her mind.

At that moment a gentle hand was placed on her shoulder "I'm going to start my journey to Heavenly Mountain, could you give it to Yu'er for me? This is also for my little granddaughter's daily expenses."

Tang Lingxi took in her hands a small letter in addition to two gold coins and nodded, looking at Ms. Lin who was walking away, she felt a little pain in her heart, since her arrival in the city this woman was the one who offered her help. at all times ... Was it really okay for her to let her go to that place?

Gritting his teeth, Tang Lingxi turned around, she had two children and now a little girl to take care of for now, risking her life was not possible.

"Miss Lin ... I hope your decision is correct" he told himself as he walked into the distance, clutching the letter tightly in his hands.

Unbeknownst to Tang Lingxi all this time, his actions during all this time had been observed by a man in a red robe, next to this man was a blonde woman who laughed softly.

"Did you stop just to observe that woman? Are you interested in her? Well, even though she is a mortal I must admit that she is very beautiful."

The words came naturally from Meng Shi, who suddenly fell silent when she realized who she was trying to annoy, however, Ling Tian simply ignored her and continued on his way.

Looking at the back of the man who was walking in front of her, Meng Shi beamed, how long had it been since she had a friendship to walk through this world?

"Oh ... Wait for me!"
