Shen Yuan Ring

After escaping the pursuit of Xiang Bei and the other two, Ji Daoyi did not choose to flee but instead turned back the way he came.

That's right, he planned to get rid of the Xiang family members who were following Xiang Bei and Xiang Nan.

Only by dealing with these people will his danger level in the Monster Forest be greatly reduced.

Under the cover of night, Ji Daoyi moved through the forest like a ghost.

If he had just arrived in the Monster Forest, he would have definitely found a safe place to rest instead of traveling at night in danger.

Having survived countless life-or-death experiences, and having become familiar with the survival rules of the Monster Forest—the law of the jungle—he understood that the stronger one is, the less one needs to abide by rules that only apply to the weak.

Although the monsters here look dangerous, they are actually bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. The stronger you are, the less likely the monsters will bother you.

In the area where he lived, most of the demonic beasts were at the Meridian Opening Realm, with only a very few at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Moreover, given the large-scale battle that occurred among the monkey troops, even a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast would be tempted to go there and try to get a share of the spoils.

Soon,

Ji Daoyi encountered several members of the Xiang family, who were also heading in the direction he had come from; it could be said that both sides were making a two-way journey.

Because of the darkness, they didn't realize that the person in front of them was Ji Daoyi, and even greeted him very warmly.

Of course, they never expected that two powerful experts at the Nascent Soul Realm would not only fail to catch a Body Refinement Realm cultivator, but also fall into his trap.

"Brother, your agility is impressive. I thought we were the fastest, but you're even faster than us. By the way, where are Lords Xiang Bei and Xiang Nan?"

"Both of you have fallen for Ji Daoyi's trap and are currently fighting the monkey troop. They asked me to come back and gather everyone to help!"

"We'll go in that direction first. You go and tell the others to follow!"

"them..."

After Ji Daoyi approached the group, he suddenly attacked, and two of them were caught off guard and died on the spot.

"You're not one of us, you're Ji Daoyi!! What are you doing here? What did you do to Lord Xiangbei and Lord Xiangnan?"

Ji Daoyi chuckled: "Congratulations on guessing correctly, but unfortunately there's no reward. As for why I'm here, didn't I already tell you? Your adults are being attacked by a troop of monkeys, and I'm here to help them find you."

"Run! He's the devil!"

The remaining three, upon hearing his laughter, felt a chill run through them, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Someone shouted, causing them, already frightened, to flee in terror, their previous cheerful demeanor completely gone.

Ji Daoyi easily dealt with the remaining few people. They were terrified by his words and only cared about escaping, without even thinking of resisting.

For Ji Daoyi, it was a complete one-sided massacre, which was far too easy compared to the phantoms inside the Tower of Illusion.

It wasn't that he had become stronger, but rather that these people were too weak for Ji Daoyi.

Many ordinary members of various factions strive for rapid breakthroughs.

It's not that they don't want to cultivate each realm to perfection, but rather that their talent level is too low, their cultivation speed is slow, and they lack background and cultivation resources. Therefore, many people choose to break through directly once they reach the minimum standard for breaking through to the next realm, instead of pursuing perfection in each realm.

The only way for ordinary people to quickly become stronger is to constantly break through their cultivation levels. Only by constantly breaking through can they obtain more cultivation resources. This also means that although these people seem to have higher cultivation levels, they are much weaker than geniuses of the same level.

Looking at the people lying in pools of blood, Ji Daoyi couldn't help but sigh, "You can't blame me for being ruthless. Blame it on being born into the Xiang family and then coming here to assassinate me. But don't worry, all I can do is make sure you're not alone down there."

After collecting the storage bags from these people, Ji Daoyi once again embarked on the cleanup journey.

Surrounded by the monkey troop, Xiang Bei and Xiang Nan had no choice but to abandon their pursuit of Ji Daoyi.

Seeing these reckless monkey demons relentlessly attacking them, their already pent-up anger was ignited. So they vented their hatred for Ji Daoyi on the attacking monkeys.

In less than half an hour, they had killed half of the monkey troop, but they were also in bad shape, with their internal energy being greatly depleted and their bodies injured all over.

The area was also enveloped in the bloody scent of monkeys, whose movements attracted many nocturnal predators. However, these predators did not attack directly but waited in the shadows for an opportunity.

When the Monkey King saw that half of his tribe had disappeared and noticed that many uninvited guests had arrived, he immediately decided to lead his tribe away from this troublesome place.

"oh-"

The monkey king let out a deep roar, and the monkeys that were still attacking immediately stopped their attack upon hearing the monkey king's retreat. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the bushes.

They did not pursue north or south. After a long battle, they were exhausted both physically and mentally and wanted to rest for a while before leaving.

They sensed that many demonic beasts were approaching from all around, and among them were even beings at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Seeing this, Xiang Bei knew it was unrealistic for the two of them to leave at the same time, so he said to Xiang Nan, "Third brother, you go first, I'll stay here to cover you. Remember to kill Ji Daoyi to avenge us."

"Brother! Don't worry, I will avenge you and bring Ji Daoyi's head as a sacrifice."

Seeing this opportunity, Xiang Nan didn't look back and immediately used his movement technique to escape towards the weak gap, leaving only a sentence floating in the air.

Xiang Bei, who hadn't even realized what was happening, was completely dumbfounded. His original intention was to leave his third brother behind while he escaped, but he didn't expect his third brother to have the same idea.

Looking at the menacing beasts around him, he knew he had no chance. He gazed in the direction Xiang Nan had left and murmured, "Third brother, I hope you can really avenge us."

the other side,

Under the cover of night, Ji Daoyi took care of the remaining dozen or so people.

During the journey, he also encountered some foolish monsters that tried to ambush him, but he dealt with them as well.

Ji Daoyi looked up in the direction where the two people to the north were and muttered to himself, "I wonder how they are now."

In a few flashes, he rushed towards the direction of the Water Curtain Cave.

……

Heading south along the path he had come from, he discovered that his people had all died tragically, many of their corpses devoured by demonic beasts, leaving only mutilated bodies.

Xiang Nan roared, "Ji Daoyi, I swear, I will make you pay the price!"

After venting his anger, he suddenly realized that the once large group of dozens of people had now dwindled to just him.

"Now the only option is to go and meet up with Second Master, but if I go alone... I'm afraid I'll be punished! If Eldest Brother came with me..."
