Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 179: The Competition Ends

After the competition was over, Feng He gave Yang Shui to Xiao Yichen as agreed. Not only that, he also handed a space ring to Xiao Yichen.

Just by taking a look at the things in the ring, Xiao Yichen's eyes almost popped out.

"This... Senior, you..."

Feng He smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he should accept it.

"What you won for Yinling Valley in this competition is far more than these things can compare to. Just accept it with peace of mind, otherwise I will be uneasy."

The little demons on the side also advised him not to be polite, saying that this was what he deserved.

In addition to some rewards, the first place in this competition also won the right to mine five spiritual veins in Yinling Valley, which will not be taken back until the next sect competition.

It can be said that in the next few decades, Yinling Valley will not have to worry about resources for cultivation. In fact, because their sect has few people, there will still be a lot left.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen pretended to refuse and then put the ring into his pocket with an embarrassed look.

"It's all good! With these things back, we can set up a small sect. This trip was not in vain!"

He really wanted to laugh now, but was too embarrassed to laugh, so he kept holding it back, and his face looked very funny.

"Okay, young man, what are your plans next?" Seeing Xiao Yichen's strangeness, Feng He directly changed the topic elsewhere.

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen coughed. He really didn't know what to do next.

He came to the Western Continent to detoxify. Now that the poison is gone, he will most likely return to the Eastern Continent to find Yunmei and the others.

Thinking of this, he was about to say goodbye to a few people, but suddenly remembered the matter of the fairy core crystal, and asked Feng He with a try-it attitude.

"What do you want this for?"

Xiao Yichen simply said that it would help his own strength, but before Feng He could even open his mouth, a cry of surprise came from behind him.

"You can use fairy core crystals to increase your strength?"

Xiao Yichen turned his head and saw that the person who came was Zhang Mo from Yan Sect. This guy didn't hold a grudge and took the initiative to come to him. Moreover, he was alone and didn't seem like he was here to cause trouble.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhang Mo suppressed his doubts and bowed to him.

"Brother, my Shadow Clan has a fragment of a fairy core crystal. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Shadow Clan?"

This was the first time Xiao Yichen had heard of this name, but it was likely that they were from the same ethnic group as Lao Gui and the others.

Seeing the confusion on his face, Zhang Mo laughed:

"It seems that you are not from the upper tribes of the Western Continent. My Shadow Clan lives not far from here in Tianmai Mountain. I wonder if you have time to visit my clan now. If the Fairy Core Crystal is really useful to you, I can give it to you without any reward."

Xiao Yichen understood that those who show kindness without any reason are either treacherous or thieves. He was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked directly:

"What do you want from me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mo glanced at Feng He and the others standing beside him. They were also very tactful. They greeted Xiao Yichen and walked towards the courtyard.

"Brother, remember to come back after you finish your business. We're going to have a big meal." Xiao Yao waved at him and left with Feng He.

Seeing the person go away, Zhang Mo looked at Xiao Yichen and said with some embarrassment:

"Brother, can you let me confirm one thing first?"

Having said that, he didn't wait for Xiao Yichen to agree or not, and directly took out a jade pendant from the space ring and handed it over.

He didn't answer it, but looked at Zhang Mo warily, not understanding what the other party was trying to do.

But even though he didn't take it, the jade pendant suddenly lit up when it was half a meter away from him.

Zhang Mo was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly took out the sound transmission stone and shouted loudly without caring whether the call was connected or not:

"Found it, Patriarch..."

Xiao Yichen smashed the sound transmission stone and the jade pendant in his hand. Although he didn't know what the glowing jade pendant meant, he always felt that it was not a good thing.

Moreover, the only difference between him and other cultivators is the power of heavenly tribulation in his body, which is his greatest reliance.

When he looked at Zhang Mo now, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but the other party was very excited at the moment and didn't notice his abnormality at all.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mo came back to his senses from his excitement, but when he looked at Xiao Yichen, he felt as if he was splashed with a basin of cold water, and his whole body was cold.

"Um...brother, I don't mean anything else, but you are very likely the person our clan has been looking for. I was a little too proud just now, please forgive me."

Xiao Yichen frowned even more tightly. He was already thinking about how to kill Zhang Mo and then return to the East Continent safely.

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a feasible plan. After all, this place was too far away from the central city. If he took action now, he might be caught in a few minutes.

Seeing the murderous intent on him slowly disappear, Zhang Mo swallowed and said:

"Brother, I really don't have any bad intentions. If you don't believe me, I'll go back to the tribe first and bring the fairy core crystal. It won't be too late for you to make plans later."

Xiao Yichen looked at him quietly, and finally refused.

"No, goodbye."

After saying that, he walked towards the courtyard of Yinling Valley without stopping. Zhang Mo wanted to catch up with him and say something more, but was frightened by the sudden burst of aura from Xiao Yichen.

"Don't follow me, or I won't know what I'll do."

Zhang Mo remained standing there in a daze until Xiao Yichen left. The aura from Xiao Yichen just now was truly terrifying.

Different from murderous intent, it was an extremely violent and bloodthirsty aura.

It was as if the Xiao Yichen he had just faced was not a human, but a beast.

On the other hand, the southern part of the East Continent is now in complete chaos.

The Holy Alliance sent a large number of powerful people to search for clues about the Beast Taming Sect, causing all nearby forces to not dare to show up during this period, for fear of angering the Holy Alliance and bringing disaster to the sect.

The reason for this big commotion is that the Beast Taming Sect lured a group of powerful Holy Alliance members to a mysterious world, and after these powerful members entered that world, they completely lost contact.

Among them are a large number of powerful people in the fusion realm, and three powerful people in the enlightenment realm, which has seriously damaged the foundation of the Holy Alliance.

At this moment, in the center of the East Continent, inside a palace buried deep underground, three middle-aged men stood quietly behind an old man who exuded the aura of death.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with grayness, which made people feel creepy.

"Sir, have you found the remnants?" one of them asked respectfully.

The old man nodded slightly, looking as if he was about to die, and said weakly:

"The general location has been determined. Next time, don't wake me up for such a small matter. I don't have much time to help you with these things."

Upon hearing this, the three of them clasped their fists and nodded.

"In that case, please step back. I'm tired."

After the three people left, the old man slowly walked towards the deepest part of the palace, came to a huge crystal bed, lay down on it and began to sleep again.

The moment he touched the stone bed, countless rich breaths of life spread out and were finally all absorbed into the old man's body.

But even so, the old man's face was still extremely pale, and he looked like he didn't have much time left.

"Alas... the end is near..."

"I don't know if I can find the person who will bear the calamity in my lifetime. The pillars that reach the sky are about to collapse! Eh..."

If Xiao Yichen were here at this moment, he would definitely be shocked.

The stone bed that the old man was lying on was actually made of a whole huge piece of fairy core crystal. The two fragments he had absorbed before were not even as good as the scraps of this bed.
