After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

Jiang Ning's worries were not unfounded. Shen Feng and his group followed closely behind, and the Green Mountain Sect was still carrying wounded soldiers, so no accident could be allowed to happen.

But the accident still happened.

One of the Blackwater Sect's disciples possesses a flying artifact, and its flight speed is showing signs of surpassing Jiang Ning's. This person is none other than the fire spirit root disciple whose whip was broken by Ye Lan. His name is Bai Yan, and he is the youngest son of a Blackwater Sect elder. That whip was his natal weapon, but he never expected it to be destroyed by Ye Lan, so he harbors a deep grudge against Ye Lan.

At this moment, he also noticed that Ye Lan was catching a spirit beast. Thinking of the humiliation of his natal weapon being destroyed earlier, he immediately used all the attack talismans on his body to launch an attack on Ye Lan, going all out to kill him while Ye Lan was distracted.

However, Ye Lan's cultivation was superior to his. Ye Lan sensed when he made his move. At the moment the talisman exploded, Ye Lan rolled to the ground to dodge. He landed in the fleeing group of demonic beasts and quickly jumped onto the back of the triangular black bull. To avoid being trampled, he grabbed the bull's horns with both hands to keep himself from falling.

His sword had just fallen to the ground, a short distance away from him, when he summoned it back, intending to have the big black bull carry him for a while.

The big black bull felt someone grabbing its horns, and angrily shook its head, trying to shake off this annoying thing.

When Xiaobai released the pressure of an ancient divine beast, the big black ox immediately became obedient. Its nature made these low-level demon beasts instinctively submit to the ancient divine beast.

On the other side, Jiang Ning saw Ye Lan being ambushed and his heart tightened. He wanted to go down and help him block it, but he found that Ye Lan had dodged it. Jiang Ning subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The little wolf cub was whimpering in his arms. Only then did he realize that he had squeezed the little wolf cub's front paws tightly in his tension.

But he didn't pay much attention to it. Beasts weren't that easy to hurt; they just liked to grumble. He flew directly onto Ye Lan's sword, reached out to let Ye Lan come up, and Ye Lan grabbed his hand and jumped lightly. The two of them stood on Jiang Ning's sword together.

"Are you hurt?" Jiang Ning asked with concern. Ye Lan appeared to have no external injuries, but he was afraid that Ye Lan might have suffered internal injuries that he couldn't see.

"It's nothing." Ye Lan shook his head gently. He had dodged the sneak attack, and the roll on the ground hadn't hurt him at all.

But he felt a little awkward at this moment. After Jiang Ning pulled him up, she was afraid that he would fall, so she kept holding him. He hadn't been with anyone for more than a year, and this feeling made him feel strange and unfamiliar.

Do you have any offensive talismans here?

"There are a few more."

"Give me."

Ye Lan took out a talisman from her spatial storage and gave it to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning deliberately slowed down and circled around to attack Bai Yan from behind.

Bai Yan dodged the attack in a sorry state, but the guy had mixed the talisman with the spiritual power of the fire elemental root, and even his hair was burned!

Bai Yan hurriedly cut off the burning part, his messy hair making him look even more disheveled. Bai Ye frowned slightly behind him, but did not intend to make a move.

Both of them were at the Nascent Soul stage, and their cultivation was even higher than his. The people from the Heavenly Sword Sect were only concerned with escaping for their lives. Their Blackwater Sect had no chance of winning against the Green Mountain Sect alone. Moreover, Jiang Ning did not intend to settle scores now. After releasing two talismans, he sped up and rushed to the front.

Ye Lan could sense that Jiang Ning's cultivation level was above hers. Sure enough, he didn't hold back and was obviously much faster than Ye Lan had been.

"what!"

Just as Ye Lan was distracted, a scream came from behind him. He turned around and saw a terrifying scene.

It was a giant python, completely black, even its eyes were black. It shot up from the forest, opened its blood-red maw and bit Bai Yan, dragging him down. Half of Bai Yan's body was inside the snake's mouth. The python's two sharp teeth pierced through his body, and he died before he even had a chance to resist.

When Ye Lan turned her head, she saw the giant python swallowing people alive on the ground. While the python was eating, its eyes were still fixed on the group of cultivators in the sky. Its color was like ink, even darker than the thousand-year-old black snake encountered in Li Family Village. It seemed that even the light shining on it could be absorbed. Its dark pupils were devoid of any emotion, making it look cold and frightening.

"Let go of me." Ye Lan grabbed Jiang Ning's arms that were wrapped around him, turned his head and vomited. The scene of the giant python swallowing a living person made him physically uncomfortable, and the thought of Senior Brother Song killing people caused him to vomit.

Everyone else was stunned by the sight of the giant python eating people, and Ye Lan's vomiting sounded unusually abrupt at that moment.

Jiang Ning tucked the wolf cub into his clothes, patted Ye Lan's back, and seeing that Ye Lan looked pale after vomiting, he took Ye Lan's hand and transferred spiritual energy to him. With the spiritual energy to soothe him, Ye Lan's condition improved.

Just then, the giant python, which had just swallowed one cultivator, was clearly still not full. It twisted its body forward, intending to ambush the next cultivator.

Watching the giant python advance, Shen Feng and the others felt their hair stand on end. They had fallen behind Bai Yan and witnessed the entire process of him being eaten.

Shen Feng swallowed hard in fright and used his divine sense to command everyone: "All disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, listen to my command! Catch up with the black-clad cultivator ahead, fly to higher ground, and do not fall behind."

As expected of the young sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he came up with a solution in an instant. The giant python didn't have the ability to fly normally; its charge was more like a leap. The Blackwater Sect members had obviously flown downwards to avoid Jiang Ning's attack, which is why it was caught. Flying higher would have been safer.

Seeing the group flying higher, the giant python indeed stopped chasing. It had just been awakened by demonic energy from the abyss and had been asleep for a thousand years. Its spiritual power was lacking. It was just about to eat a few spirit beasts to replenish its spiritual power when it sensed the aura of human cultivators. Human cultivators were much better than spirit beasts. Bai Yan's aura was the weakest after being attacked several times, so it took advantage of the fact that Bai Yan was not flying very high to make its move.

Unfortunately, this little cultivator was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and had only recovered a small portion of its strength. The higher the cultivation level, the more nourishing it would be. If only it could eat those two cultivators standing together. It squinted and looked in the direction of Ye Lan and the other person.

Jiang Ning sensed a gaze fixed on him, so he sped up and telepathically instructed the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect to advance faster, reaching the highest altitude he could manage.

The giant python turned and attacked the spirit beasts, specifically targeting those with abundant spiritual energy. When the iron-eating beast arrived, it immediately began fighting with the giant python. These two demon beasts had been in a state of "kings never meeting" for thousands of years. Now that the black snake had come to its territory to eat, it was a direct provocation.

"Roar!"

The Iron-Eating Beast relied on brute force to attack, slapping the Ink Serpent with a palm strike. The Ink Serpent had been intelligent for thousands of years, and in its eyes, the Iron-Eating Beast was just a big, dumb brute who only knew how to use strength. But at this moment, it just wanted to curse, because it had been injured and suppressed in the abyss by a divine beast, and its cultivation level had dropped by a whole level. In a fight, it was no match for the Iron-Eating Beast at all.

Seeing that things were not going well, the black snake dared not confront the beast head-on. It quickly dodged the attack of the iron-eating beast and turned to flee.

"Roar!" The Iron-Eating Beast wouldn't let it escape so easily. It grabbed the black snake's tail and swung it around like a rope. It swung the giant python, which weighed several thousand kilograms, with ease, demonstrating its immense strength.

Just as the iron-eating beast was about to violently throw the ink snake to the ground, the ink snake broke off its tail and escaped. It didn't want to die so soon after emerging from the abyss.

The Iron-Eating Beast did not continue chasing the Ink Serpent. Its mind was invaded by demonic energy, and it only thought about killing. So it chased after more demonic beasts.
