If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 228 Savior
Li Yanmo walked around the outskirts of the Demon-Suppressing Mountains and found no strange traces except for the ferocious but not strong monsters.

The spring hunt was approaching, and Li Yan had no choice but to turn back.

But Li Yanmo came back at the wrong time. The princes of commoner marquises had already arrived, and they all looked in a good mood. On the contrary, the princes of noble marquises were all depressed. Yao Mengyi's eyes were red, and she was insulting her lackeys with harsh words.

The insulted lackey held his head and nodded in agreement, but Li Yanmo keenly noticed that the corners of the lackey's mouth were trembling. He seemed to be afraid, but in fact he was struggling to hold back his laughter.

Obviously, after this performance, this lackey can pursue his dream.

With the order from the Yuanying-stage general, the hunt was announced to begin. The princes rode their horses and rushed into the Demon-Suppressing Mountains. Li Yanmo took the opportunity to find Yao Mengyi.

When Yao Mengyi was found, the little girl who loved knitting was strangling the neck of a bear demon who was at the seventh level of Qi training with wool, with a bitter face.

"Princess Yao?"

"Master Li!"

Hearing Li Yanmo's voice, Yao Mengyi was delighted and exclaimed in surprise. With a force of her hand, the bear monster's head turned several times on the spot.

The bear demon fell to its knees with a thud, lifeless.

The corner of Li Yanmo's eyes twitched slightly.

The demon has good power. Under the same level of cultivation, the demon can use its powerful body to beat the cultivator and make him retreat step by step.

Therefore, except for physical cultivators, serious cultivators will not fight with monsters in physical combat.

But it doesn't mean it's impossible. After all, the process of body training is much simpler than that of qi training.

Eat, soak, and get beaten.

Arrangements are in place, and the monsters are destroyed.

Just because children of the nobility don't practice cultivation before the age of sixteen doesn't mean they can't cultivate their bodies.

Yao Mengyi in front of him is one example. Although her cultivation is only at the Qi training stage, her physical strength is first-class and she can strangle a monster with wool.

"Princess Yao, I've already taken a rough tour of the outer reaches of the Demon-Suppressing Mountains and haven't spotted anything unusual. While the monsters here are ferocious, if you remain calm, they won't be a problem for those princes... You won't actually provoke the monsters and take advantage of the chaos to retaliate."

Normally, there must be a noble prince who dislikes the commoner prince and deliberately provokes monsters and causes chaos so that he can take action.

"Why should I do that? I can finish the performance and leave right away," Yao Mengyi said with a strange look on her face.

"Too--"

This is Dayu, and everyone knows their limits. It's just a play, why take it so seriously? What if others think they enjoy this line of work?
So normally, there would be no problems with this spring hunt.

But if anything goes wrong, the blame will definitely be put on the noble marquis.

Li Yanmo had an idea and nodded to Yao Mengyi with a smile, "If there is a problem, it will definitely be around the fifth day of the Spring Hunt. Princess Yao, do you mind if I accompany you for a few days?"

"Of course I don't mind. If anything happens, please help me, Master Li."

Seeing that Yao Mengyi was so cute and still needed to knit a sweater, Li Yanmo naturally nodded.

but in fact……

Yao Mengyi was really just being polite.

In the outskirts of the Demon Suppression Mountains, the strongest demon beasts were only at the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and there was absolutely no chance of finding a demon beast at the Foundation Establishment stage. Yao Mengyi herself had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and coupled with her physical training, she was able to roam freely in the Demon Suppression Mountains.

This lovely girl is very dedicated. She kills monsters without sleeping for five days without even blinking an eye.

A monster was strangled to death by Yao Mengyi. When Li Yanmo was about to applaud, a loud noise came from the depths of the Monster-Suppressing Mountains. The monsters roared, and countless monsters rushed out with huge waves of earth.

General Dayu stationed in the Demon-Suppressing Mountains took action immediately and cast countless spells, but the demon tide came too suddenly and was too ferocious. Even though General Dayu tried to stop it, many demon beasts still broke through the isolation zone and stepped into the periphery.

"what's the situation!?"

Yao Mengyi glared and was about to go up while pulling the wool.

This action scared Li Yanmo a lot. There were even Jindan-stage monsters in the monster tide.

Yao Mengyi's physique can fight against the monsters in the foundation-building stage, but she can never beat the monsters in the golden elixir stage.

To prevent accidents, Li Yanmo immediately grabbed the back of Yao Mengyi's collar and lifted her up. At the same time, he activated the artificial golden elixir on his body and transformed himself into the Golden Elixir Ancestor on the spot.

With the help of the golden elixir, the oil dragon pattern and the cold dragon pattern were finally able to exert some of their strength.

"Pooh--"

Glaciers and oil seas exploded, and wherever they passed, the monsters were either fried in oil or frozen.

Yao Mengyi let out a long "Oh" and clapped her hands, "Master Li, you are so amazing!"

Li Yanmo shook his head. At this moment, Youlongwen suddenly uttered a sigh, "Among those monsters, there is a monster that has not rotted yet."

Li Yanmo's eyes moved and he realized something, but he did not stop. He carried Yao Mengyi and went straight to the barracks.

After all, this is Dizhou, the root of the Dayu Dynasty. The demon tide caught Dayu's army stationed in the Demon-Suppressing Mountains by surprise, but it was just a surprise and was suppressed in the blink of an eye.

However, this sudden wave of demons still caused a lot of trouble.

Li Yanmo had just put Yao Mengyi down and was about to go to Leng Ningshuang to ask about the situation when he heard a commotion coming from the side of the commoner Marquis and the Prince.

"Prince Li was swept away by a foundation-building monster!"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Damn it—Prince Li wouldn't have done that if he hadn't wanted to save me!"

Li Yanmo could sense that although those princes blamed themselves and felt that they could not help because their strength was too low, the spearhead was being directed at the princes of the noble marquises.

The princes of the noble lords looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Of course, the one who suffered the most was Yao Mengyi, who had to bite the bullet and add insult to injury, saying that it was a good thing for Li Lin to die.

But Li Yanmo knew that Li Lin probably would not die. Not only would he not die, his cultivation would also greatly increase.

As Li Yanmo expected, exactly one day later, Li Lin, covered in wounds but with bright eyes, appeared in front of everyone, dragging a demon beast in the early stage of foundation building.

Li Lin was able to win the first place in this spring hunt just by relying on the demon beast in the early stage of foundation building.

The commoner marquis' sons were naturally so excited that their faces turned red, while the noble marquis' sons displayed their superb acting skills, each of them looking ashen.

Leng Ningshuang also followed the procedure and read the manuscript in a soft voice across the carriage.

Li Lin let his hands hang down at his sides, looking in the direction of the carriage neither humbly nor arrogantly. Even when he learned that he would receive a reward far exceeding that of the previous champions, he remained calm. He just bowed and expressed his gratitude neither humbly nor arrogantly.

As the Leng family's carriage left, the tense atmosphere in the barracks eased, and the commoner marquis' sons gathered around Li Lin and began to ask questions, wanting to know what had happened after Li Lin was swept away by the monster. However, Li Lin spoke vaguely and evasively.

The people present could see that Li Lin didn't want to talk about this matter, so they changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, I thought Miss Leng wouldn't be attending this spring hunt."

"It is rumored that Miss Leng was gifted in her early years, but was murdered and has been bedridden ever since."

"What a pity—"

Li Lin's eyes twitched slightly. "It's possible that he was murdered, but it's hard to say if he's bedridden."

The people around were shocked, "Brother Li, why do you say that?"

Li Lin did not answer, but just shook his head and looked in the direction of Yao Mengyi.

At this time, Yao Mengyi was still playing the role of making things difficult for the princess, but this time she was not losing her temper, but crying to someone, and the person she was crying to was Li Yanmo.

The people around Li Lin also looked over and noticed Li Yanmo.

One person said fearfully, "That person looks unfamiliar, but he seems to have a close relationship with Yao Mengyi. He looks like he's at least a Jindan cultivator. Brother Li, you'd better be careful these days. The princess might let this person take action against you."

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

"That princess doesn't have the ability to ask that gentleman for help."

"gentlemen?"

The princes around Li Lin were all stunned, not understanding why Li Lin addressed Li Yanmo in such a respectful tone.

"That gentleman has the people at heart. Not only will he not care about such trivial matters, he will also become our savior."
