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

The area where the most monsters are concentrated is the direction Jiang Ning and his group are heading. All kinds of monsters are desperately fleeing forward, knowing that they will only have a chance to survive if they reach "that place." Falling behind means death. The demonized monsters have no emotions and are no different from large-scale killing machines.

Seeing the Iron-Eating Beast following them from afar, Jiang Nan shuddered and silently increased his flight speed to the maximum. He had just turned around and seen the giant python being tossed around like a chick by the Iron-Eating Beast. He knew that the strength of a level 10 demon beast was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage expert. If they were caught up, they probably wouldn't even have the ability to withstand a single blow from the Iron-Eating Beast.

His father had told him that the Cloud Cave was fraught with danger, but he had never told him that there was a level 10 demon beast inside, and it was even demonized!

Knowing he would encounter a demonized level 10 monster, he would rather be captured and trained by Elder Shanchun for ten years than enter the Cloud Cave for training.

Jiang Nan and the others shared the same thought, but it was too late to regret it now. They could only hope that they could find a safe place to hide and that the Cloud Cave would throw them out when the time came.

"Fatty, do you have any extra spirit stones here?"

The person who spoke next to him was Su Bo. Jiang Nan was the richest among them, and he was always the one to ask about money.

"How many times have I told you not to call me fat!"

Jiang Nan was angry. Even though he had lost weight, Su Bo still kept calling him "fatty"! He hadn't seen this person in Cloud Cave for over a year, and he was still as annoying as ever.

Despite saying that, he still gave half of his spirit stones to Su Bo. The two often bickered, but it didn't affect their good relationship.

"Remember to return it to me when you go back to your sect."

"understood."

Su Bo put the spirit stones Jiang Nan gave him into his storage bag, weighed them in his hand, and realized that they could restore most of his spiritual power in an emergency.

Most of his spirit stones were consumed in that pitch-black place, where there was no spiritual energy and nothing grew. Countless bats attacked them; the bats weren't strong, but their sheer number was annoying and seemed inexhaustible. The spiritual energy was also consumed quickly, so they could only rely on their own spirit stones to absorb it.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Song later discovered that the male bats had spirit cores inside their bodies, which they could directly absorb to replenish their spiritual energy, thus preventing them from dying from spiritual energy depletion. However, these things were poisonous, and absorbing too much was not good. All of them carried some toxins in their bodies, and every half month they would suffer unbearable pain. He still had a bunch of spirit cores in his storage bag, but for safety reasons, he did not continue to absorb them.

"There's someone ahead."

Ye Lan spoke up to remind him that Xiao Bai had just told him in his divine sense that he had sensed monster riots in several places.

"Yes, there are more than just these few."

Jiang Ning's expression was cold and aloof. His spiritual sense was naturally stronger than others. He could feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy in all directions. He was certain that the direction of these fluctuations was the same as the direction they were currently moving in.

How much longer until we reach the place you mentioned?

Ye Lan had just told him that they were going to the Heavenly Water Realm to hide from the demonic beasts, and they had already flown several hundred miles.

Ye Lan remained silent; he didn't know how long it would take.

"Little White, how much longer do we have to fly?" Hearing Jiang Ning's question, he could only secretly ask Little White in his mind. Only the demon beasts knew where this place was. Little White had only said that it could isolate demon beasts.

Xiao Bai didn't reply. Fearing something might happen to it, Ye Lan used her divine sense to sneak into the space. She found it gnawing on the spider crab's leg. The cat-like creature looked less than a tenth the size of the spider crab, making it very difficult to gnaw. Fortunately, Ye Lan had tied the spider crab up with vines, allowing it to gnaw. However, the spider crab's shell was notoriously hard. Xiao Bai didn't revert to its original form and gnawed at the spider crab for a long time without any damage. Ye Lan found it amusing.

Jiang Ning thought Ye Lan was just spacing out, and after a while she started laughing to herself.

"I don't know either, but following the person in front shouldn't cause any problems."

Noticing Jiang Ning's gaze, Ye Lan came back to her senses.

The boy in black led He Luoluo and ran ahead, the appearance of the black snake hadn't made him stop.

Just then, a dozen cultivators appeared from another dimension, at the very spot where Ye Lan had first sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy.

This group consisted of both men and women, and their clothing was revealing yet beautiful, quite different from that of the Southern Continent.

Cultivators in the Southern Continent emphasize "cultivation of the Dao," and their everyday clothes are very formal. Wealthy families not only pay attention to the fabric but also add defensive formations to them.

"They are from the Western Continent."

And the status is not low.

Jiang Ning's father was, after all, the leader of the Southern Continent Alliance, and from a young age he suppressed his brother's and his brother's characteristics of recognizing the major sects and families of the four continents.

The Western Continent is a desert region with hot geology and abundant venomous snakes, which thus became a symbol of their power.

Their clothing styles varied greatly, with higher-ranking sects displaying more ornate accessories. The most easily recognizable feature was the snake ring around their necks, with snake heads biting their tails and coiling into a loop. The snake eyes were inlaid with magnificent gemstones, making them look exquisite and luxurious. Only when one actually fought with them did people realize that these beautiful snake rings were their weapons, and that the snake eyes contained the venom they had collected. Legend has it that the leader of the Western Continent had a snake ring containing venom capable of killing an entire city.

"A noble disciple from the Western Continent actually dares to come to the Southern Continent at the Nascent Soul stage? Aren't they afraid of being killed and having their treasures stolen?"

Senior Brother Song is also a disciple of a prestigious family, so he has some understanding of these things.

"Senior brother, tell everyone not to fight them unless absolutely necessary. If anything unexpected happens, you retreat with them first, and Ye Lan and I will cover the rear."

"Ah."

Song Muyun was the senior disciple, but now that he was with the injured Wen Yu, he couldn't object to Jiang Ning's decision to let him escape beforehand. After all, the elders of the Green Mountain Sect had always taught them not to be reckless and that only by saving their lives could they have a chance to turn the tide.

After cultivators appeared in the Western Continent, cultivators also began to appear in other places. Those who would never normally meet would now all head in the same direction.

At the same time, there were more demonic beasts. The demonic energy seemed to be contagious, and the beasts that were bitten but did not die gradually became demonic as well.

"Ready."

Little White, who had been gnawing on a crab leg for ages without success, finally remembered that they were still trying to escape and directed Ye Lan to fly downwards.

Ye Lan sensed that they had passed through a protective array and landed on the ground. The spiritual energy inside the protective array was just as rich as that inside the secret realm.

The boy in black was ahead of them; he was still holding He Luoluo to prevent her from falling.

The ground was covered with white sand and gravel, and above it was a shallow body of water reflecting the blue sky. The water stretched endlessly, making it difficult to distinguish where the sky ended and the water began.

Upon seeing Ye Lan arrive, the young man in black grinned and brought He Luoluo to Ye Lan, saying, "You saved my life, and I saved your friend's life. We're even now."

He looked exactly the same as when Ye Lan first met him—playful and overly familiar.

Ye Lan was speechless upon hearing this. He had never seen the young man's face before, so how did he know that it was the one who saved him? After all, he was wearing the clothes of the Green Mountain Sect. Only Jiang Ning was wearing different clothes from him. The senior brothers and the others were all wearing the same clothes.

He turned his head and thought about it. Based on the flying speed just now, the boy's cultivation level was obviously higher than his own, which was why he couldn't sense his level. It wasn't surprising that he could see the boy's face through the veil. He figured the boy could kill the Black-faced Spider even without him making a move. As for why the boy didn't make a move, he probably had other plans. Maybe he had even ruined the boy's plans. But if he didn't save He Luoluo, then He Luoluo would definitely die.

Thinking this, Ye Lan didn't say it aloud. He bowed to the young man and asked, "This is also fate. I still don't know your name, cultivator?"

"Hahahaha, you're quite an interesting person. Didn't I tell you my name is Shen Feng? How come you've forgotten it after only a few days?"

His innocent expression was so convincing that Ye Lan would have been fooled if she hadn't known the situation.

Not only Ye Lan, but everyone present fell silent upon hearing this, because the real Shen Feng had also landed, not far from them.

The boy's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but Shen Feng and the others heard it just in time. The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately wanted to draw their swords, for this person dared to impersonate their young master!

The real Shen Feng restrained the disciple from making a move; this place was strange, and it was not advisable to start a conflict.

"Cough, that's Shen Feng."

Perhaps the atmosphere was too awkward, Jiang Nan couldn't help but speak up to remind her.
