Chaos Spirit Field

The Wan Yao Mountain Market was over 500 miles away from the mountain. The reason for building it so far away was actually for safety reasons. After all, if the Monster Alliance suddenly broke their agreement, this distance of over 500 miles would provide a certain amount of buffer time.

Although this was Zhao Shanhe's first visit to the area, he wasn't completely unfamiliar with the Myriad Demons Mountain. The reason for this was simply because of the Star-Fixing Disk, which ensured he had no chance of getting lost.

Liu Quan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, far surpassed Zhao Shanhe, who was merely in the Qi Refining stage, in strength without any cultivation. It wasn't long before he easily caught up, quietly following him all the way, waiting to strike once he reached Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain. After all, outside, with so many people and gossip, being caught by someone could lead to unnecessary trouble. Once inside the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain, the perpetual mist and clouds obstructed vision, making it an ideal location for committing crimes and stealing lives.

Zhao Shanhe's consciousness often penetrated the Chaos Spiritual Field to plant various items, and over time, his sensitivity grew ever sharper. At this moment, he faintly sensed someone secretly following him, mistaking it for Qin Shou from the Heavenly Sword Sect or a member of the Black Wolf Team, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

The journey of more than 500 miles wasn't far, and it was quickly completed. Before Zhao Shanhe's eyes stood a majestic mountain, towering into the sky—Wan Yao Mountain! Faced with such a towering sight, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement—"It's so huge!"

Without hesitation, Zhao Shanhe plunged headfirst into this mysterious and dangerous mountain range. Entering Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, he was surprised to find objects emitting a red glow everywhere. Some were immature spiritual herbs, while many were the excrement of demonic beasts. While ordinary people might disdain these things, Zhao Shanhe considered them treasures.

Liu Quan, who was following closely behind, witnessed all this and thought to himself, "This Zhao Shanhe seems a little off-kilter. Doesn't he know that unripe spiritual herbs are worthless? He's actually enthusiastically collecting piles of demon beast feces. This unique hobby is really hard to understand."

When Zhao Shanhe arrived at an open area, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, you've been following me all the way. Why don't you show yourself? What is your purpose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Quan, who had been hiding in the shadows, came out. Zhao Shanhe took a closer look and was immediately shocked. He blurted out, "Deacon Liu, why is it you?"

"Zhao Shanhe, who else could it be but me? Thanks to you, I was banished to the market place of Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain. I've come here specifically to collect my debt from you. I have a question for you: what are you doing collecting monster excrement?"

"Farming." Zhao Shanhe told the truth, but Liu Quan obviously didn't believe it.

"Forget it, I'll find the answer from your corpse later."

Zhao Shanhe shouted in horror, "Deacon Liu, you actually want to kill me!"

Deacon Liu snorted coldly and replied, "Shouldn't I? I didn't come all this way here to play with you!"

Zhao Shanhe hurriedly explained, "Deacon Liu, there's no grudge between us! Your demotion has nothing to do with me! How about this? When we return to the sect, I'll ask my godfather for help to transfer you back and promote you to the position of Inner Sect Protector. How about that?"

Hearing this, Liu Quan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still asked with some doubt: "Inner sect guardian? You can really do it, are you kidding me?"

Zhao Shanhe quickly patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Tan Tai Mingyue is my wife. I'll ask her to talk to her father, Tan Tai Feng. There will be no problem. As long as you protect me well during this training, you will definitely benefit from it in the future."

Liu Quan was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao."

However, at this moment, Zhao Shanhe's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily, "Deacon Liu, have a safe journey." Without hesitation, he unleashed a mighty blow with his sword, using all his strength. Unfortunately, he had severely underestimated the strength of this sect's foundation-building expert.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shone from Liu's body, blocking the attack. He was instantly enraged, feeling he had suffered an unprecedented humiliation. He gnashed his teeth and cursed, "You cunning and sinister little devil, you truly deserve to die!"

Zhao Shanhe had been acting just now, trying to make Liu Quan relax his guard. Unfortunately, his full-strength sword attack only injured him, and he seemed to be fine. He said, "Deacon Liu, your strength is amazing. You are not dead even after such a long time. I will use my full strength, 50% of my sword intent."

Liu Quan immediately took defensive action after hearing this, but to his surprise, Zhao Shanhe was just bluffing. He ran away as fast as greased his feet, and even the storage bag on his body accidentally fell to the ground.

Faced with this sudden change, Liu Quan couldn't help but be stunned. Then he came to his senses and realized that he had been deceived! He hurriedly bent down to pick up the storage bag on the ground and chased after Zhao Shanhe without hesitation.

However, although Zhao Shanhe had bought himself some time with his storage bag, the vast difference in their cultivation quickly eroded this advantage. At that moment, a powerful Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast suddenly appeared ahead. Seeing this, Liu Quan couldn't help but stop and wait to see what was happening.

What was surprising was that the foundation-building demon wolf completely ignored Zhao Shanhe who passed by it, and instead pounced straight towards Liu Quan.

Liu Quan was stunned, unable to believe what was happening. He had no choice but to bravely confront the ferocious wolf, only to watch helplessly as Zhao Shanhe escaped.

Zhao Shanhe ran furiously for an unknown amount of time, stopping only when he was sure there was no more danger behind him. He congratulated himself, "That was a close call! 'Shit Escape' is so effective against monsters."

Liu Quanji was afraid that Zhao Shanhe would attack him secretly, so it took him a long time to kill the Foundation Establishment Stage monster. This might be the case of once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years.

Zhao Shanhe wasn't stupid; he knew this Foundation Establishment Stage demon wolf was no match for Liu Quan. It was understandable that the "shit" could walk, but if it could fight, that would be a real bummer.

Liu Quan lost track of Zhao Shanhe and secretly rejoiced that finally getting a storage bag wasn't such a big loss. But when he opened it, even his best Qi-cultivation skills couldn't help but explode, and he cursed, "Zhao Shanhe, you little bastard who loves to pick up shit, you're so treacherous."

Anyone who sees the contents of the storage bag would be angry. The storage bag left by Zhao Shanhe was the one he used when he cleaned the beast residence at the Spirit Beast Pavilion. It was mainly used to store garbage, and there was still a lot of stock in it.
